Chapter 8: Working with Flash

With the EOS 60D, you have the option of using the built-in flash, which is handy in a variety of scenes and lighting situations, as well as the option of using one or more Canon EX Speedlites. You can also use the 60D as a wireless transmitter to fire one or more Speedlites, creating a lightweight and versatile portable studio.

In addition, you can control the built-in flash and one or more Speedlites directly from the camera menu, making it quick and easy to set up and use flash lighting. And you can control the settings as well as the Custom Functions for accessory Speedlites such as the 580EX II, 550EX, and 430EX II from the 60D’s Flash Control options (Shooting 1 menu).
