Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.

The Canon Speedlite 220EX is a compact flash unit automatically

compatible with E-TTL II, E-TTL, and TTL autoflash.

Read this instruction manual while also referring to your

camera’s instruction manual.

Before using the Speedlite, read this instruction manual and your camera’s

instruction manual to familiarize yourself with the Speedlite operations.

The basic operation is as easy as with normal AE shooting.

When the 220EX is attached to an EOS camera, almost all automatic

exposure control for flash photography is handled by the camera.

Although the 220EX is an external flash unit, it works automatically and

seamlessly just like the camera’s built-in flash.

It is automatically compatible with the camera’s flash metering

mode (E-TTL ll, E-TTL, or TTL).

The camera controls the Speedlite automatically in the following flash metering

modes:

1. E-TTL II autoflash (evaluative flash metering with preflash reading/lens

distance information)

2. E-TTL autoflash (evaluative flash metering with preflash reading)

3. TTL autoflash (off-the-film metering for real-time flash metering)

Regarding the camera’s available flash metering modes, refer to the

“External Speedlite” specification in the “Specifications” of your

camera’s instruction manual.

The camera instruction manual’s chapter on flash photography will refer

to cameras having 1 and 2 above as a Type-A camera (compatible

with E-TTL II or E-TTL). And cameras having 3(compatible with only

with TTL) are called Type-B cameras.

* This instruction manual assumes that you are using the Speedlite with a

Type-A camera.

For Type-B cameras, see page 4.

on the 220EX (see the next page) does not light, it means the camera is

Type B.

Installing the Batteries

Recycling Time and Flash Count

Battery Type Recycling Time Flash Count

Size-AA alkaline batteries Approx. 0.1 - 4.5 sec. Approx. 250 - 1700

To avoid overheating and degrading the flash head, do not fire more than

20 continuous flashes. After 20 continuous flashes, allow a rest time of at

least 10 min.

Use a new set of four batteries of the same brand. When replacing the

batteries, replace all four at one time.

Using size-AA batteries other than the alkaline type may cause improper

battery contact due to the irregular shape of the battery contacts.

Size-AA Ni-MH or lithium batteries can also be used.
