Setting The Flash; Flash Control - Canon EOS 1200D Instruction Manual

Setting the FlashN
3
The built-in flash and external Speedlite settings can be set with the
camera's menu. You can use the camera's menu to set the external
Speedlite function settings only if an EX-series Speedlite compatible
with this function is attached.
The setting procedure is the same as when setting a camera menu
function.
[Flash firing]
Even if [Flash firing] is set to [Disable], if focus is difficult to achieve in low
light, the built-in flash may still fire a series of flashes (AF-assist beam,
p.96).

Select [Flash control].
Under the [z1] tab, select [Flash
control], then press <0>.
The flash control screen will appear.
Normally, set this to [Enable].
If [Disable] is set, neither the built-
in flash nor the external Speedlite
will fire. This is useful when you only
want to use the flash's AF-assist
beam.
