 Flash Photography

Sync Speed

The camera can synchronize with non-Canon compact flash units at 1/
200 sec. and slower speeds. With large studio flash units, since the 
flash duration is longer, set the sync speed within 1/60 sec. to 1/30 sec. 
Be sure to test the flash synchronization before shooting.

PC Terminal

 

The camera’s PC terminal can be 
used with flash units having a sync 
cord. The PC terminal is threaded to 
prevent inadvertent disconnection.

 

The camera’s PC terminal has no 
polarity. You can connect any sync 
cord regardless of its polarity.

Cautions for Live View shooting

When using a non-Canon flash unit for Live View shooting, set the [

6

 

Live View/Movie func. set.

] menu’s [

Silent shoot.

] to [

Disable

] 

(p.113). The flash will not fire if it is set to [

Mode 1

] or [

Mode 2

].

Using Non-Canon Flash Units

 

If the camera is used with a flash unit or flash accessory dedicated to 
another camera brand, the camera may not operate properly and 
malfunction may result.

 

Do not connect to the camera’s PC terminal any flash unit requiring 250 
V or more.

 

Do not attach a high-voltage flash unit on the camera’s hot shoe. It might 
not fire.

A flash unit attached to the camera’s hot shoe and a flash unit connected to 
the PC terminal can both be used at the same time.
