Safety Warnings

Follow these safeguards and use the equipment properly to prevent injury, death, and material damage.

Preventing Serious Injury or Death

• To prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, and explosions, follow the safeguards below:

- Do not use any batteries, power sources, and accessories not specified in this booklet. Do not use any home-made or modified batteries.

- Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery pack or back-up battery. Do not apply heat or apply solder to the battery pack or back-up battery. Do not expose the battery pack or back-up battery to fire or water. And do not subject the battery pack or back-up battery to strong physical shock.

- Do not install the battery pack or back-up battery in reversed polarity (+ –). Do not mix new and old or different types of batteries.

- Do not recharge the battery pack outside the allowable ambient temperature range of 0°C - 40°C (32°F - 104°F). Also, do not exceed the recharging time.

- Do not insert any foreign metallic objects into the electrical contacts of the camera, accessories, connecting cables, etc.

• Keep the back-up battery away from children. If a child swallows the battery, consult a physician immediately. (Battery chemicals may harm the stomach and intestines.)

• When disposing of a battery pack or back-up battery, insulate the electrical contacts with tape to prevent contact with other metallic objects or batteries. This is to prevent fire or an explosion.

• If excessive heat, smoke, or fumes are emitted during battery pack recharging, immediately unplug the battery charger from the power outlet to stop the recharging and prevent a fire.

• If the battery pack or back-up battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or fumes, remove it immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process.

• Prevent any battery leakage from contacting your eyes, skin, and clothing. It can cause blindness or skin problems. If the battery leakage contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing, flush the affected area with lots of clean water without rubbing it. See a physician immediately.

• During the recharging, keep the equipment away from the reach of children. The cord can accidentally choke the child or give an electrical shock.

• Do not leave any cords near a heat source. It can deform the cord or melt the insulation and cause a fire or electrical shock.

• Do not fire the flash at someone driving a car. It may cause an accident.

• Do not fire the flash near a person’s eyes. It may impair the person’s vision. When using flash to photograph an infant, keep at least 1 meter away.

• Before storing the camera or accessory when not in use, remove the battery pack and disconnect the power plug. This is to prevent electrical shock, heat generation, and fire.

• Do not use the equipment where there is flammable gas. This is to prevent an explosion or fire.


6

• If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts, do not touch the internal parts due to the possibility of electrical shock.

• Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. High-voltage internal parts can cause electrical shock.

• Do not look at the sun or an extremely bright light source through the camera or lens.

Doing so may damage your vision.

• Keep the camera from the reach of small children. The neck strap can accidentally choke the child.

• Do not store the equipment in dusty or humid places. This is to prevent fire and electrical shock.

• Before using the camera inside an airplane or hospital, check if it is allowed.

Electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the plane’s instruments or the hospital’s medical equipment.

• To prevent fire and electrical shock, follow the safeguards below:

- Always insert the power plug all the way in.

- Do not handle a power plug with wet hands.

- When unplugging a power plug, grasp and pull the plug instead of the cord.

- Do not scratch, cut, or excessively bend the cord or put a heavy object on the cord.

Also do not twist or tie the cords.

- Do not connect too many power plugs to the same power outlet.

- Do not use a cord whose insulation has been damaged.

• Occasionally unplug the power plug and use a dry cloth to clean off the dust around the power outlet. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power outlet may become moist and short-circuit the outlet to cause a fire.

Preventing Injury or Equipment Damage

• Do not leave equipment inside a car under the hot sun or near a heat source. The equipment may become hot and cause skin burns.

• Do not carry the camera around while it is attached to a tripod. Doing so may cause injury. Also make sure the tripod is sturdy enough to support the camera and lens.

• Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera under the sun without the lens cap attached. Otherwise, the lens may concentrate the sun’s rays and cause a fire.

• Do not cover or wrap the battery-recharging apparatus with a cloth. Doing so may trap heat within and cause the casing to deform or catch fire.

• If you drop the camera in water or if water or metal fragments enter inside the camera, promptly remove the battery pack and back-up battery. This is to prevent fire and electrical shock.

• Do not use or leave the battery pack or back-up battery in a hot environment. Doing so may cause battery leakage or a shorter battery life. The battery pack or back-up battery can also become hot and cause skin burns.

• Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the equipment.

Doing so may cause fire or a health hazard.

If the product does not work properly or requires repair, contact your dealer or your nearest Canon Service Center.

Handling Precautions

Camera Care

¡

This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical shock.

¡

The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you accidentally drop the camera into water, promptly consult your nearest

Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe with a well-wrung wet cloth.

¡

Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field such as a magnet or electric motor. Also avoid using or leaving the camera near anything emitting strong radio waves such as a large antenna. Strong magnetic fields can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data.

¡

Do not leave the camera in excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight.

High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.

¡

The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to disassemble the camera yourself.

¡

Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, mirror, and focusing screen. Do not use cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, take the camera to a Canon Service

Center.

¡

Do not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your fingers. This is to prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause camera misoperation.

¡

If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room, condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.

¡

If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid damaging the camera. If this occurs, remove the lens, CF card and battery from the camera, and wait until the condensation has evaporated before using the camera.

¡

If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while the camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a while to check that the camera is still working.

¡

Avoid storing the camera where there are corrosive chemicals such as a darkroom or chemical lab.

¡

If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions before using the camera. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is an important shoot coming up, have the camera checked by your

Canon dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.


8

Handling Precautions

LCD Panel and LCD Monitor

¡

Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision technology with over 99.99% active pixels, there might be a few dead pixels among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying only black or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded.

¡

At low temperatures, the liquid-crystal display response may become slower.

And at high temperatures, the display may blacken. In either case, the display will return to normal at room temperature.

CF Card

¡

The CF card is a precision device. Do not drop the memory card or subject it to vibration. Doing so could damage the images recorded on them.

¡

Do not store or use a memory card near anything having a strong magnetic field such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places prone to having static electricity. Otherwise, the images recorded on the CF card might be lost.

¡

Do not leave memory cards in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Doing so can warp the cards and make them unusable.

¡

Do not spill any liquid onto the CF card.

¡

Always store your CF cards in a case to protect the data stored on them.

¡

Non-Canon CF cards may not be able to record and playback images. Using

Canon CF cards is recommended.

¡

Do not bend the card or subject it to any excessive force or physical shock.

¡

Do not store CF cards in hot, dusty, or humid locations.

Cleaning the CMOS sensor

N

The image sensor is like the film in a film camera. If any dust or other foreign matter adheres to the image sensor, it may show up as a dark speck in the images. To avoid this, follow the procedure below to clean the image sensor. Note that the image sensor is a very delicate component. If possible, you should have it cleaned by a Canon Service

Center.

While you clean the image sensor, the camera must be turned on.

Using the AC Adapter Kit ACK-E2 (optional, see page 154) is recommended. If you use a battery, make sure the battery level is sufficient. Before cleaning the sensor, detach the lens from the camera.

¡

Never use canned air or gas to clean the sensor. The blowing force can damage the sensor or the spray gas can freeze on the sensor.

¡

When the battery is exhausted, the beeper will sound and the <c> icon will blink on the LCD panel. Set the <

4> switch to <2> and replace the battery. Then start over again.

¡

You cannot clean the sensor if Battery Grip BG-E2 (optional) is attached to the camera and size-AA batteries supply the power. Use AC Adapter

Kit ACK-E2 (optional) or use a battery having sufficient power.

About the RAW Format

The RAW format assumes that the image will undergo post-processing with a personal computer. Special knowledge is required, but you can use the bundled software to obtain the desired effect. <1> images are processed according to the white balance, color space, and processing parameters set at the time of shooting. Image processing refers to adjusting the RAW image’s white balance, contrast, etc., to create the final image. Note that direct printing and print ordering

(DPOF) will not work with RAW images.

The number of possible shots applies to a 256MB CF card.

¡

The single image size, number of possible shots, and maximum burst during continuous shooting (p.48) are based on Canon’s testing standards (ISO 100 with [Parameter 1] set). The actual single image size, number of possible shots, and maximum burst will vary depending on the subject, shooting mode, ISO speed, parameters, etc.

¡

In the case of monochrome images (p.59), the file size will be smaller so the number of possible shots will be higher.

3 Setting the Image-recording Quality

Max. Burst During Continuous Shooting

The maximum burst during continuous shooting depends on the imagerecording quality. The approx. maximum burst during continuous shooting is indicated below for each image-recording quality. Note that with high-speed CF cards, the maximum burst may be higher than shown in the table below depending on the shooting conditions. (With the recording quality set to JPEG.)

Image-recording quality

73 83 74 84 76 86 1 1+JPEG

Max. Burst

20 32 28 61 64 123 6 6

¡

The number of shots remaining during the maximum burst is displayed on the lower

Max. Burst right of the viewfinder.

¡

If “9” is displayed, it indicates that the maximum burst is nine or more shots. If “6” is displayed, it is six shots.

¡

While you are shooting and the number of shots remaining in the maximum burst is fewer than 9, the viewfinder will display “8”, “7”, etc. If you stop the continuous shooting, the maximum burst will increase.

The following applies to the 73/83/74/84/76/86 (JPEG)

recording quality modes:

¡

The maximum burst may greatly decrease (6 or less) in the following cases:

• In the <

2> mode, the built-in flash automatically switches between firing and non-firing.

• During continuous shooting, the external flash cannot recycle fast enough.

¡

Since the maximum burst may greatly decrease (6 or less), avoid doing the following operations:

• Pressing the shutter button completely repeatedly at short intervals.

• Right after image capture, you change the shooting mode and take pictures immediately.

• During continuous shooting, you pop-up or retract the built-in flash or turn the external Speedlite on or off.

¡

After all the captured images are processed and written to the CF card, the above table’s figures for the maximum burst will apply.

48

¡

With white balance bracketing (p.54), the maximum burst will be 6.

¡

The maximum burst is displayed even when the drive mode is set to (Single) or

<j>. The maximum burst is displayed even when a CF card is not in the camera.

Therefore, before shooting, make sure that a CF card is installed in the camera.


g Setting the ISO Speed

N

The ISO speed is a numeric indication of the sensitivity to light. A higher

ISO speed number indicates a higher sensitivity to light. Therefore, a high ISO speed is suited for low light and moving subjects. However, the image may look more coarse with noise, etc. On the other hand, a low

ISO speed is not suited for low light or action shots, but the image will look cleaner. The camera can be set between ISO 100 and 1600 in 1stop increments.

ISO Speed in the Basic Zone Modes

The ISO speed is set automatically within ISO 100-400.

ISO Speed in the Creative Zone Modes

You can set the ISO speed to “100”, “200”, “400”, “800”, or “1600”. With

C.Fn-08 [ISO expansion] set to [1: On] (p.143), “H” (ISO 3200) can also be set.

About White Balance

The three RGB (red, green, and blue) primary colors exist in the light source in varying proportions depending on the color temperature. When the color temperature is high, there is more blue. And when the color temperature is low, there is more red. To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of the type of lighting. With a digital camera, the color temperature can be adjusted with software so that the colors in the image look more natural. The subject’s white color is used as the criteria for adjusting the other colors. The

¡

White balance bracketing will not work if the image-recording quality is set to RAW or RAW+JPEG.

¡

With white balance bracketing, the maximum burst will be 6 shots.

¡

When white balance bracketing is set, the white balance icon will blink on the LCD panel and the remaining shots will decrease to about 1/3.

¡

Since three images are recorded for one shot, the CF card will take longer to record the shot.

¡

You can also set white balance correction and AEB shooting in combination with white balance bracketing. If you set AEB in combination with white balance bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded for a single shot.

About Adobe RGB

This is mainly used for commercial printing and other industrial uses.

This setting is not recommended if you do not know about image processing, Adobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File System 2.0

(Exif 2.21).

Since the image will look very subdued with sRGB personal computers and printers not compatible with Design rule for Camera File System

2.0 (Exif 2.21), post-processing of the image with software will be required.

The AF point which achieves focus flashes briefly. At the same time, the focus confirmation light < o> in the viewfinder is displayed.

s

With evaluative metering, the exposure setting

(shutter speed and aperture) will be set when focus is achieved. The exposure setting and focus will be locked as long as the shutter button is pressed halfway. (p.69) You can then recompose the shot while retaining the exposure setting and point of focus.

If focus cannot be achieved, the focus confirmation light < o> in the viewfinder will blink. If this occurs, a picture cannot be taken even if the shutter button is pressed fully. Recompose the picture and try and focus again. Or see “When Autofocus Fails (Manual Focusing)” (p.70).

AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects

* About Predictive AF

If the subject approaches or retreats from the camera at a constant rate, the camera tracks the subject and predicts the focusing distance immediately before the picture is taken. This is for obtaining correct focus at the moment of exposure.

¡

When the AF point selection is automatic, the camera first uses the center AF point to focus. During autofocusing, if the subject moves away from the center AF point, focus tracking continues as long as the subject is covered by another AF point.

¡

With a manually selected AF point, the selected AF point will focus track the subject.

AI Focus AF for Automatic Switching of AF Mode

AI Focus AF switches the AF mode from

One-Shot AF to AI Servo AF automatically if the still subject starts moving.

After the subject is focused in the One-

Shot AF mode, if the subject starts moving, the camera will detect the movement and change the AF mode automatically to AI Servo AF.

When focus is achieved in the AI Focus AF mode with the Servo mode active, the beeper will sound softly. The focus confirmation light < o> in the viewfinder will not light.

Under low-light conditions, the built-in flash fires a brief burst of flashes when you press the shutter button halfway. This is to illuminate the subject to enable easier autofocusing.

¡

In the <

3> <5> <7> modes, the AF-assist beam does not light.

¡

The built-in flash’s AF-assist beam is effective up to about 4 meters/13.2 feet.

¡

In the Creative Zone modes when the built-in flash is popped up with the

 button, the AF-assist beam will be emitted if necessary.

Lens’ Maximum Aperture and AF Sensitivity

The EOS 20D will execute high-precision AF with lenses whose maximum aperture is f/2.8 or larger.

With lenses whose maximum aperture is f/2.8 or larger

With the center AF point, high-precision, cross-type AF sensitive to both vertical and horizontal lines is possible. With cross-type AF, vertical-line detection is twice as sensitive as horizontal-line detection. The other eight AF points are horizontal-line sensitive or vertical-line sensitive.

With lenses whose maximum aperture is larger than f/5.6

The center AF point is a cross-type AF sensor. The other eight AF points are horizontal-line sensitive or vertical-line sensitive.


68

Focusing an Off-Center Subject

After achieving focus, you can lock the focus on a subject and recompose the shot. This is called “focus lock.” Focus lock works only in the One-Shot AF mode.

1

Set the Mode Dial to a Creative

Zone mode.

2

Select the desired AF point.

3


¡

Move the AF point over the subject and press the shutter button halfway.

4

Keep pressing the shutter button halfway and recompose the picture as desired.

5


If the AF mode is AI Servo AF (or AI Focus AF set to Servo mode), focus lock will not work.

Focus lock is also possible in Basic Zone modes (except <

5>). In this case, start from step 3.


69

When Autofocus Fails (Manual Focusing)

Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (the focus confirmation light < o> blinks) with certain subjects such as the following:

Subjects difficult to focus

(a) Low-contrast subjects

Example: Blue sky, solid-color walls, etc.

(b) Subjects in low light.

(c) Extremely backlit and reflective subjects

Example: Car with a reflective body, etc.

(d) Overlapping near and far objects

Example: Animal in a cage, etc.

(e) Repetitive patterns

Example: Skyscraper windows, computer keyboards, etc.

In such cases, do one of the following:

(1) Focus an object at the same distance as the subject and lock the focus before recomposing.

(2) Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually.

Manual Focusing

Metering q Evaluative Metering

This is the camera’s standard metering mode suited for most subjects even under backlit conditions. After detecting the main subject’s position, brightness, background, front and back lighting, etc., the camera sets the proper exposure.

¡

During manual focusing, evaluative metering is based on the center AF point.

¡

If the subject brightness and background light level are very different (there is a strong backlight or spotlight), use partial metering <w> instead.

w Partial Metering

Effective when the background is much brighter than the subject due to backlighting, etc. Partial metering covers about 9% of the viewfinder area at the center. The area covered by partial metering is shown on the left.

e Centerweighted Average Metering

The metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for the entire scene.

Bulb exposures may result in grainy images due to picture noise. You can reduce noise by setting C.Fn-02 [Long exposure noise reduction] to [1:On] (p.141).

¡

For bulb exposures, using Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer Remote

Controller TC-80N3 (both optional) is recommended.


87

Mirror Lockup

N

Mirror lockup is enabled with C.Fn-12 [Mirror lockup] set to [1: Enable]

(p.144). The mirror can be swung up separately from when the exposure is made. This prevents mirror vibrations which may blur the image during close-ups or when a super telephoto lens is used. Set

¡

During mirror lockup, do not point the camera lens at the sun. The sun’s heat can scorch and damage the shutter curtains.

¡

If you use bulb exposures, the self-timer, and mirror lockup in combination, keep pressing the shutter button completely (2 sec. selftimer + bulb exposure time). During the self-timer countdown, if you let go of the shutter button, there will be a shutter-release sound. This is not the shutter release (no picture is taken).

88

¡

During mirror lockup, the drive mode will be single shooting regardless of the current drive mode (single or continuous).

¡

If you use the self-timer and mirror lockup, the shot will be taken 2 sec. after the mirror goes up when you press the shutter button completely.

¡

The mirror locks up, and after 30 seconds, it will go back down automatically. Pressing the shutter button completely again locks up the mirror again.

Flash Photography

The built-in flash or an EOSdedicated, EX-series Speedlite enables E-TTL II autoflash

(evaluative flash metering with preflash), making flash photography as easy as normal shooting. The result is naturallooking flash photos. In the Basic

Zone modes (except <

3> <5>

<

Using the Built-in Flash

E-TTL II autoflash obtains high-precision and consistent flash shots.

Using the Built-in Flash in the Basic Zone

If necessary, the built-in flash will pop-up automatically in low-light or backlit conditions (except in <

3> <5> <7> modes).

Using the Built-in Flash in the Creative Zone

Regardless of the light level, you can press the <

D> button to pop-up

and fire the built-in flash whenever desired.

d

: For fully automatic flash photography. The shutter speed (1/

60 sec. - 1/250 sec.) and aperture value are set automatically, just as in <

1> (Full Auto) mode.

s

: For when you want to set the shutter speed (30 sec. - 1/250

sec.). The camera then automatically sets the flash aperture

value to provide the proper exposure for your shutter speed.

f

: For when you want to set the aperture value. The camera then automatically sets the shutter speed (30 sec. - 1/250

sec.) to provide the proper exposure for your aperture. Against dark backgrounds such as the night sky, slow-sync shooting will be set so that both the subject and background are exposed correctly. The main subject is exposed with the flash, and the background is exposured with a slow shutter speed.

¡

Because automatic slow-sync shooting uses a slow shutter speed, always use a tripod.

¡

If you do not want a slow shutter speed to be set, set C.Fn-03

[Flash sync speed in Av mode] to [1: 1/250sec. (fixed)].

(p.141) a

: You can set both the shutter speed (bulb or 30 sec. - 1/250

Use the built-in flash at least 1m/3.3 ft away from the subject. Closer distances will cause the lens to partially obstruct the flash.

¡

When using the built-in flash, detach any hood attahed to the lens. A lens hood will partially obstruct the flash.

¡

When a super telephoto lens or fast, large-aperture lens is attached, the built-in flash coverage might be obstructed. Using an EX-series

Speedlite (optional) is recommended.

¡ The built-in flash’s coverage is effective with lens focal lengths as short as 17mm. If the lens is shorter than 17mm, the periphery of the flash photo will look dark.

¡

To retract the flash, push it back down.

¡

In the <s> <a> modes, even if you set the shutter speed to one faster than 1/250 sec., it will be set automatically to 1/250 sec.

¡

If autofocus cannot be achieved, the AF-assist beam will be emitted automatically (except in <

3> <5> <7> modes). (p.68)

Using Red-eye Reduction

When flash is used in a low-light environment, the subject’s eyes may look red in the image. “Red eye” happens when the light from the flash reflects off the retina of the eyes. The camera’s red-eye reduction feature turns on the red-eye reduction lamp to shine a gentle light into the subject’s eyes to narrow the pupil diameter or iris. A smaller pupil reduces the chances of red eye from occurring. Red-eye reduction can be set in any shooting mode except <

3> <5> <7>.

Select [Red-eye On/Off].

¡

Turn the <

5> dial to select [z Red-

eye On/Off], then press <

0>.

2

Select [On].

¡

Turn the <

5> dial to select [On], then press <

0>.

¡

When you press the shutter button down halfway, the red-eye reduction lamp indicator appears in the viewfinder.

¡

Red-eye reduction will not work unless the subject looks at the red-eye reduction lamp. Tell the subject to look at the lamp.

¡

To increase the effectiveness of red-eye reduction, press the shutter button down fully after the red-eye reduction lamp (which lights for

Red-eye reduction lamp

approximately 1.5 seconds) indicator goes off.

¡

You can shoot anytime by pressing the shutter button down fully, even if the red-eye reduction lamp is still on.

¡

The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies from subject to subject.

¡

Red-eye reduction is more effective in brighter rooms or when the camera is closer to the subject.

Using EOS-Dedicated, External Speedlites

With EX-series Speedlites

An EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlite makes flash photography as easy as normal shooting. You can easily do the flash operations below.

For detailed procedures, see the Speedlite’s instruction manual.

E-TTL II is a new autoflash exposure system incorporating improved flash exposure control and lens focusing distance information, making it more precise than the previous E-TTL (evaluative flash metering with preflash) system. The camera can execute E-TTL II autoflash with any EX-series

Speedlite.

• High-speed sync (FP flash)

With high-speed sync, you can set a sync speed faster than 1/250 sec.

• FE (Flash Exposure) Lock

Press the camera’s <

A> button to lock the flash exposure at the desired part of the subject.

• Flash exposure compensation

In the same way as normal exposure compensation, you can set exposure compensation for flash. Set flash exposure compensation up to ±3 stops in 1/3stop increments.

• FEB (Flash Exposure Bracketing)

The flash output is changed automatically for three successive shots (only with

FEB-compatible Speedlites). Set flash exposure bracketing up to ±3 stops in 1/

3-stop increments.

• E-TTL II wireless autoflash with multiple Speedlites

As with wired, multiple Speedlites, wireless E-TTL II autoflash with multiple

Speedlites provides all the above features. Since connection cords are unnecessary, flexible and sophisticated lighting setups are possible (only with wireless-compatible Speedlites).

About EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlites

The flash cannot be fired with an EZ-, E-, EG-, ML-, or TL-series

Speedlite set in the TTL or A-TTL autoflash mode. Use the

Speedlite’s manual flash mode instead if provided.


97

Using EOS-Dedicated, External Speedlites

¡

When using an external Speedlite, retract the built-in flash before mounting the external Speedlite.

¡

If the EX-series Speedlite’s firing mode is set to TTL autoflash with the

Custom Function, the Speedlite will not fire.

¡

If autofocus cannot be achieved, the external, EOS-dedicated

Speedlite’s AF-assist beam (if the Speedlite has an AF-assist beam) will be emitted automatically (except in <

3> <5> <7> modes).

¡

The EOS 20D is a Type-A camera that can use all the features of EXseries Speedlites.

Using Non-Canon Flash Units

Sync Speed

The EOS 20D can synchronize with compact, non-Canon flash units at

1/250 sec. or slower shutter speeds. With large studio flash, the sync speed is 1/125 sec. or slower. Be sure to test the flash unit beforehand to make sure it synchronizes properly with the camera.

PC Terminal

¡

The camera’s PC terminal is provided for flash units having a sync cord. The PC terminal is threaded to prevent inadvertent disconnection.

¡

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

¡

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.

¡

Also, 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 work.

98

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

DPOF: Digital Print

Order Format

With DPOF (Digital Print Order Format), you can use the camera to specify which images in the CF card are to be printed and the quantity. This feature is very convenient when you make prints with a DPOFcompatible printer or photo lab.

About DPOF

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) is a standard for recording print ordering instructions to the CF card. It is for images taken with a digital camera, and you can specify which photos and the quantity to print. With a DPOF-compatible digital camera, you can do the following:

¡

By inserting a CF card into a DPOF-compatible printer, you can make prints as specified.

¡

Printers capable of direct printing from the camera can print the images as specified by DPOF.

¡

When ordering prints from a photo lab, you do not need to fill in any order form to specify the image selections, quantity, etc.

This also applies if you use FE lock.

C.Fn-15 Shutter curtain sync

0: 1st-curtain sync

1: 2nd-curtain sync

When a slow shutter speed is set, you can capture a light trail following the subject. The flash fires right before the shutter closes.

This Custom Function can be used to obtain 2nd-curtain sync effects even with EX-series Speedlites which do not have this feature. If the EX-series Speedlite has this feature, it will override this Custom Function.

When 2nd-curtain sync is used, a preflash will be fired for flash metering control right after you press the shutter button completely. Remember that the main flash will fire right before the shutter closes.

C.Fn-16 Safety shift in AV or TV

0: Disable
