MI Seeing the Flash 
• Shutter sync. 
Normally, set this to [1st curtain] so that the flash fires immediately 
after the exposure starts. 
If (2nd curtain) is set, the flash will fire right before the exposure 
ends. When this is combined with a slow sync speed, you can create 
a trail of light such as from car headlights at night. With 2nd-curtain 
sync, a preflash is fired when you press the shutter button 
completely. This is to determine the exposure. Then immediately 
before the exposure ends, the real flash is fired. Therefore, two 
flashes will be fired. However, with shutter speeds faster than 1/30 
sec.. 1st curtain sync will automatically take effect. 
If an external Speedlite is attached, you can also set [HI-speed) 
(S it). For details. see the Speedlite's instruction manual. 
• Wireless flash

MENU Appending Dust Delete Data*
Normally, the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit will eliminate most of the dust 
that might be visible on captured images. However, in case visible dust 
still remains, you can append the Dust Delete Data to the image for 
erasing the dust spots later. The Dust Delete Data is used by Digital 
Photo Professional (provided software. p.302) to erase the dust spots 
automatically. 
Preparation 
• Get a solid-white object (paper. etc.). 
• Set the lens focal length to 50mm or longer. 
• Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF> and set the locus to infinity 
M. If the lens has no distance scale. look at the front of the lens and 
turn the focusing ring clockwise all the way.

About the Dust Delete Data 
After the Dust Delete Data is obtained, it is appended to all the JPEG 
and RAW images captured thereafter. Before an important shoot, you 
should update the Dust Delete Data by obtaining it again. 
For details about using Digital Photo Professional (provided software. 
p.302) to erase dust spots, see the Software Instruction Manual (p.304) 
in the Software Instruction Manual CD-ROM. 
The Dust Delete Data appended to the image is so small that It hardly 
affects the image file size.

EMIg Manual Sensor Cleaning * 
Dust which could not be removed by the automatic sensor cleaning can 
be removed manually with a blower. etc. 
The surface of the Image sensor is extremely delicate. If the 
sensor needs to be cleaned directly, having it done by a Canon 
Service Center is recommended. 
Before cleaning the sensor, detach the lens from the camera.
