Using Non-Canon Flash Units
Sync Speed
The camera can synchronize with non-Canon compact flash units at 1/
250 sec. and slower speeds. With large studio flash units, since the
flash duration is longer than compact flash units, 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.
f# The camera's PC terminal has no
polarity.
You can connect any sync
cord regardless
of its polarity.
Cautions for Live View shooting
If you use a non-Canon flash with Live View shooting, set [~~ Silent
shoot.] to [Disable] (p.137). The flash will not fire if it is set to [Mode 1]
or [Mode 2].
o .~ 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
Vor more.
@ Do not attach a high-voltage flash unit on the camera's hot shoe. It might
not fire.
EQ] 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.
