When an EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) is attached to the 
camera, almost all the autoflash control is done by the camera. In other 
words, it is like a high-output flash attached externally in place of the 
built-in flash.

manual. This camera is a Type-A camera that can use all the features 
of EX-series Speedlites.
