The built-in flash and external Speedlite settings can be set with the
camera’s menu. You can use the camera’s menu to set the external
Speedlite function settings only if the attached
EX-series Speedlite is
compatible with this function.
The setting procedure is the same as setting a camera menu function.
Select [Flash control].
Under the [
1
] tab, select [ Flash
control ], then press <
0
>.
The flash control screen will appear.
Normally, set this to [ Enable ].
If [Disable] is set, neither the built-
in flash nor the external Speedlite
will fire.
This is useful when you only
want to use the flash’s AF-assist
beam.
With [ Built-in flash func. setting ] and [ External flash func. setting ],
you can set the functions listed on the next page. The functions
displayed under [
External flash func. setting ] will vary depending on
the Speedlite model.
Select [ Built-in flash func. setting ]
or [ External flash func. setting ].
The flash functions will be displayed.
The functions not dimmed can be
selected and set.

Even if [ Flash firing ] has been set to [ Disable ], if focus is difficult to achieve
in low light, the built-in flash may still fire a series of flashes (AF-assist
beam, p.84).
