Canon EOS Digital Rebel cameras are compatible with external flash units.
The EOS Digital Rebel series is Canon's line of high-end digital cameras that is compatible with several types of attachments, including lens and external flash units. External flash units can be larger and more powerful than the built-in flash, letting the photographer take well-lit photographs in overly backlit or very dark areas. External flash units also are much more customizable than the built-in units and allow the photographer to redirect light as needed as well as change flash brightness levels.
Instructions
1. Align the flash unit's mounting panel with the camera's hot shoe and press in firmly.
2. Push the flash unit's locking lever closed. On Canon-manufactured Speedlite flash units, the locking lever slides to the right. Other flash units may have a screw-based or key-based locking mechanism.
3. Turn on the flash unit by pressing the power button or switching it to "On," depending on the flash unit's specifications.
4. Wait until the flash has fully charged. Flash units typically have an indication light that will show charge level.
5. Set the camera's shooting mode to either "Automatic" or "Program" to activate automatic flash.
