Preliminary Preparations

1. Loading the Batteries

Use four, new, size-AA alkaline (LR6) or

Ni-Cd batteries. Carbon-zinc batteries may
also be used, but their life is shorter. Wipe
the battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth
to ensure proper contact.

1) Slide the battery chamber cover down in
the direction of the arrow to open.

2) Load the batteries so that their terminals
face in the directions indicated by the
diagram inside the battery chamber.

3) Finally, push the cover completely down
and slide it back to close.

Notes

• When the batteries become exhausted, replace
all four at the same time with the same brand.

• Remove the batteries if you do not expect to use
the flash unit for about three weeks or longer.

• Battery performance deteriorates in cold
temperatures below 0°C/32°F so please keep
the batteries warm until just before use. For
best results, use fully-charged Ni-Cd batteries in
cold temperatures below 0°C/32°F.

•When using Ni-Cd batteries, please note that
various brands have different types of ter
minals. Be sure to use a suitable type.

Recharge Ni-Cd batteries according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Mounting the Flash

1) Loosen the lock nut and slide the flash
unit into the camera’s accessory shoe.

To ensure correct electrical contact,
make sure it is pushed in all the way.

2) Tighten the lock nut.

3. Ready Lamp and Test Firing

Turn the main switch ON (“I” mark) and
wait for the ready lamp to light up. To test

functioning, press the ready lamp after it
has lit and if the flash fires it is in proper
working order.

• Be sure to press the ready lamp before press
ing the shutter button halfway. Otherwise, test

firing is not possible.

• Flash charge is also confirmed by the “ i ”
mark in the viewfinder.

• When the shutter button is pressed halfway,
the flash head position automatically adjusts,
(see p.10)

• For interval flash photography, attach the

Technical Back E and set the mode to the in
terval timer or self-timer. The flash charge

starts automatically one minute before shutter

release.

8

SE (Save-Energy) Function

Turn the main switch OFF (“O” mark) when
flash photography is finished to prevent un
necessary battery consumption. The

Speedlite 420EZ has a built-in SE (Save-

Energy) function that automatically turns off

power when the flash is not used for approx

imately five minutes (test firing, preflash,

etc.). All panel displays start blinking approx

imately 30 seconds before SE operation.
Press the ready lamp to re-start the flash.

Rapid-Fire Flash Capability

To help capture an unexpected moment in

flash photography, the Speedlite 420EZ has

rapid-fire flash capability, a short flash

recycling time, previously impossible with
any other SLR system.
When charged, the color of the ready lamp
changes as follows;

(1) Yellow-green

- Indicates the unit in
rapid-fire flash status,
but fires for correct ex
posure.

(2) Red

• See the guide number table for rapid-fire
flash status on p.34.

Replace with new batteries if the yellow-

green lamp does not light for 10 seconds

after the main switch is turned ON.

Indicates the unit is fully-

charged.

Auto Internal Zoonn Mechanism

The Speedlite 420EZ has an auto zoom

mechanism which automatically adjusts
flash coverage angle to use flash energy

more effectively.
The flash head position automatically ad
justs according to the lens focal length.
When using a zoom lens, it also switches

automatically according to zooming. The

position setting of 24, 28, 35, 50, 70, or
80mm and “A Zoom” appears in the display
panel.

0

To change the flash head position

manually, press the zoom button until the
desired setting appears, the “M Zoom”
lights. Do not choose a setting larger than

the lens focal length. Always be sure to

set the position equal to or smaller than
the lens focal length, otherwise, exposure
will not be uniform.
The guide number varies according to
the flash head position, see p.34.

Display Panel Illumination

Press the light button to illuminate the
display panel for approximately eight sec
onds.

AF Auxiliary Light

Canon

In dark settings difficult for autofocusing,

the AF auxiliary light automatically emits to

help the camera focus. The effective
distance range is approximately 0.9-8m.
(3-26.2 ft.) If the subject is too far away, the
AF in-focus indicator blinks. Remove your

finger from the shutter button and move

closer to the subjeot until the AF-focus in
dicator lights steadily when pressed again.

Basic Operation

Use the Speedlite 420EZ in conditions rang
ing from total darkness to supplemental

daytime lighting by following these steps:

1) Slide the lens focus mode switch to
“AF”.

12

2) Set the camera’s main switch to the “Full
Auto’’ position (green “o” mark).

3) Turn the flash’s nnain switch ON and
nnake sure the ready lamp lights up.

4) Cover the main subject with the AF
frame and press the shutter button
halfway.

•At this point, the near-infrared light
emits from the flash to choose the cor
rect aperture value.

•Both the X-sync shutter speed and
aperture values set automatically.

•When both values blink, the subject is
too far away. Remove your finger from
the shutter button and move closer to
the subject until both values remain
continuously lit when pressed again.

•When shooting in daylight (fill-in flash),
the minimum aperture of the lens in use
may blink. The background will be
overexposed but the main subject cor

other Operations

A-TTL Automatic Mode;

The Speedlite 420EZ features the A (Ad­vanced)-TTL mode which can be used

under conditions ranging from total dark
ness to fill-in flash.

Flash output is controlled by directly
measuring the light coming through the lens
and reflected from the film surface, using
the sensor inside the camera body. More
over, this A-TTL mode balances the ex
posure between the main subject illumi
nated by the flash and the background in
ambient light to prevent unnatural effects.

The setting for each shooting mode is
slightly different so please read the
following carefully.

• The camera-shake warning does not
sound when the flash is turned ON.

• When the camera is set to the depth-of­field AE mode with the flash ON, the

mode is automatically switched to the
program AE mode.

1. Program AE Mode [A-TTL]

2. Shutter-priority AE Mode [A-TTL]

Set the camera to “Tv” to set the desired X­sync speed. The X-sync shutter speed can
be set between 30 and 1/250 sec with the

EOS 620, and between 30 and 1/125 sec
with the EOS 650. The aperture is set
automatically.

1) Turn the main switch ON and make sure
the ready lamp lights up.

•The shutter speed will be set to the
fastest possible X-sync speed (1/250

When the shutter speed of 30" blinks,
the camera is warning that A-TTL is
impossible and the background will be

underexposed. The main subject,

however, will be exposed correctly
because normal TTL (see p.20) func
tions instead of A-TTL.

• A blinking shutter speed of 30" may
stop when a larger aperture is set. A­TTL is possible but be careful of

camera-shake.

3. When the fastest possible X-sync shut
ter speed (1/250 sec with the EOS 620

and 1/125 sec with the EOS 650)
blinks, the camera is warning that
A-TTL is impossible and the back
ground will be overexposed. The main
subject, however, will be exposed cor

rectly because normal TTL (see p.20)
functions instead of A-TTL.

• A blinking shutter speed may stop
when a smaller aperture is set and
A-TTL is possible.

TTL Automatic Mode:

Use this mode to control the exposure by
setting both the shutter speed and the aper
ture manually. In the TTL mode, correct ex

posure can be obtained only for the main

subject while A-TTL balances exposure be
tween the main subject and the background

for correct exposure on both.

5. Manual Flash Exposure

Sometimes automatic flash may not be
suitable for your subject. For instance, if the
subject’s surroundings are bright white with
strong reflections or if the main subject is
small with a dark or distant background,
automatic flash exposure may be affected

by the contrasting background.

7. Bounce Flash Photography

Pointing the flash head toward a wall or ceil
ing and illuminating the subject with light

reflected off of that surface is called bounce
flash. Because the light is reflected, a loss

of light volume is unavoidable, on the other

Bounce Flash Photography

hand, there are no dark shadows and a soft

illumination. The Speedlite 420EZ features
A-TTL or TTL automatic output control so

there is no need for exposure calculations.

Direct Flash Photography

•Bounce flash can also be used with
various shooting nnodes. (see pp.14-21

for setting and exposure information.)
Confirm exposure before shooting be

cause the actual shooting distance is a
total of the flash-to-reflecting surface
distance and the subject-to-reflecting

surface distance.

•In bounce flash only, the flash head
emits the visible preflash instead of the

near-infrared light.

•When tilted for bounce flash, the flash

head automatically sets to 50mm and

the display The bounce mark {%)

also appears in the display panel. It is

also possible to set the flash head posi

tion manually.

•The zoom head swivels 90° upward,

28

180° to the left and 90° to the right in
any combination. Click stop positions
are provided for extra convenience. To
swing the flash horizontally, first slide

the bounce latch upward and then

rotate the flash left or right.

Helpful Hints:

With bounce flash photography, it is neces

sary to adjust the flash head so that the sub
ject is not directly illuminated by the flash. If
you only tilt the flash up a few degrees ex
posure will not be uniform. The easiest way
to use bounce flash is to tilt the flash head
up 90° and bounce off a ceiling.

The bounce surface should be white or

nearly white, fairly large and highly reflec

tive. A colored, reflecting surface may

cause the subject to appear tinted that col

or. The subject color may also be

disappointing if the surface reflects poorly.

A very high ceiling does not make a good

surface for bounce flash; a solution would
be to bounce the flash off a white card

reflector. Generally, the closer the flash is to

the bounce surface, the brighter and higher

in contrast the picture will be.

8. Second-Curtain Sync Flash Photography

With focal plane shutters, flash synchroniza
tion is made when the first curtain is fully

open. With the Speedlite 420EZ, it is also
possible to make the flash synchronization

just before the second curtain starts run

ning. This is called “second-curtain sync”
and is best when a slower shutter speed is
used. (The shutter-priority AE mode is

recommended.)
When second curtain sync is used with a

moving subject and a slow shutter speed,
the light from the flash clearly illuminates
the subject for a sharp image but creates a

trailing image from ambient light for a flow

ing effect.

Second-Curtain Sync Flash Photography

To set:

Press and release the sync position button.

•When the “tcW’ mark is displayed, the
second curtain sync is made

automatically.

•When no mark is displayed, the first
curtain sync is made.

•The second-curtain sync cannot be us
ed with the stroboscopic flash mode.

30

First-Curtain Sync Flash Photography

Handling Precautions

1. Do not take the flash unit apart. If repair
is necessary take it to the nearest Canon

Service Facility.

2. ^Do not get the flash wet. If exposed to
rain or snow, immediately wipe it off with

a clean, dry cloth.

3. Do not fire the flash too close to the.sub
ject’s eyes or while holding it against clo
thing.

4. Do not use the 420EZ with any other

manufacturers’ cameras because the
420EZ is especially designed for use with
Canon EOS cameras.

5. Use a slave unit for multiple flash
photography, but make sure it can be us

ed with the 420 EZ before purchase.

Speedlite Care

1. Remove the batteries if you do not ex
pect to use the flash about three weeks
or longer.

2. Do not store the flash in hot or humid

places. Keep it out of direct sunlight.

3. After prolonged storage, test-fire the
flash from time to time to maintain

proper capacitor functioning.
