The Canon Speedlite 220EX is a Canon EOS dedicated
compact flash unit featuring the sophisticated E-TTL
(Evaluative-Through-The-Lens) autoflash control system.
When the Speedlite 220EX is used with Type A cameras
(see below), natural-looking photographs can be captured
readily even under difficult lighting conditions by combining
both flash and ambient light harmoniously for optimum flash
exposure in each of the camera shooting modes. In addition,
the Speedlite 220EX provides the following advanced flash
techniques for amateur and professional flash applications:
FP (Focal Plane) flash which enables the Speedlite 220EX
to synchronize with all shutter speeds (high-speed sync), FE
(Flash Exposure) lock which locks the flash exposure read-
ing for the desired area, and multiple flash setup to obtain
creative lighting effects.
When the Speedlite 220EX is used with Type B cameras (see
below), the Speedlite 220EX operates as a TTL flash unit.
The features available with the Speedlite 220EX differ
depending on the camera it is used with. Refer to the table
below to check your camera type.
Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.

of batteries:
(1) Four size-AA alkaline batter-
ies
(2) Four size-AA nickel-hydride
batteries

ment cover as shown by
the arrow and flip it up.

•The above specifications are based on Canon's testing standards.
•Using size-AA nickel-hydride batteries will yield only about 70 to 80 percent of
the flashes (1550 mAh at full output) obtainable with size-AA alkaline batteries.
The recycling time will also be about half the time with size-AA alkaline batteries.

•Size-AA lithium batteries may be used with the Speedlite 220EX.
•Although ordinary, non-alkaline batteries may be used, the number of
flashes will be less.
•When you will not use the Speedlite 220EX for an extended period,
remove the batteries.
•In low temperatures, keep one set warm in your pocket, etc., and use
the batteries alternately.

Installing the Batteries
•If the battery contacts are dirty, the Speedlite 220EX may not operate
properly. Wipe the battery contacts with a cloth and make sure that the
battery contacts are clean before installing.
•The contacts of size-AA nickel-hydride and lithium batteries are not
standardized. If you want to use nickel-hydride or lithium batteries,
make sure that the battery contacts touch the battery compartment's
contacts securely.

Power Switch
PILOT
E-TTL H
Set the power switch as follows:
:To turn off the power.
:To turn on the power. If the Speedlite
220EX is left unused for about 90 sec., it
turns off automatically to save battery
power. To turn on the Speedlite 220EX
again, press the shutter button or press the
test firing button.
PILOT
E-TTL H
Press the FP flash button to set to high-speed
sync which enables the Speedlite 220EX to syn-
chronize with all shutter speeds. The FP flash indi-
cator will light.
To cancel FP flash, press the FP flash button
again.
•When the Speedlite 220EX is used with Type A cameras
and the FP flash button is set to high-speed sync, using a
shutter speed faster than the camera maximum sync
speed sets the high-speed sync mode. Likewise, using a
shutter speed equal to or slower than the camera maxi-
mum sync speed sets to the normal sync mode.
•When the Speedlite 220EX is used with Type B cameras,
the normal sync mode is set regardless of the FP flash
button setting.

Pilot Lamp and Test Firing
The Speedlite 220EX AF-assist
beam is emitted automatically to
enable precise autofocus under
dim light and low contrast condi-
tions. The AF-assist beam is
effective from 1 to 5 meters (3.3
to 16.4 feet).

The Speedlite 220EX starts to
recharge. When recharging is
completed, the pilot lamp lights.
After the pilot lamp lights,
press the test firing button
to test fire the flash. (The
pilot lamp functions as a
test firing button also.)

As a general rule, the descriptions for the remaining sections of the
Instructions assume that the power switch is set to I and that the power
of the Speedlite 220EX is turned on.
The flash cannot be test fired while the shutter button is pressed
halfway, or while the viewfinder displays the exposure setting and
remains active for a few seconds after the shutter button is pressed
halfway.
