Flash Function Settings and Flash Custom Functions
When an EX-series Speedlite (such as the 580EX II) controllable by the
camera is attached, you can use the camera’s menu screen to set the
Speedlite’s flash function settings such as the flash mode, FEB, and 1st
or 2nd curtain sync, and wireless flash. Flash Custom Functions can
also be enabled or disabled.
Turn on the Speedlite before setting its functions.
For details on which Speedlite settings the camera can set, see the EX-
series Speedlite’s instruction manual.
