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
an EX-series Speedlite compatible
with this function is attached.
The setting procedure is the same as when setting a camera menu
function.
Select [Flash control].
Under the [
z
2 ] tab, select [ Flash
control ], then press <
0
>.
X 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.
For normal flash exposures, set this
to [
Evaluative ].
[ Average ] is for advanced users. As
with an external Speedlite, the
metering area is averaged. Flash
exposure compensation may be
necessary.

Even if [ Flash firing ] is 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.106).
