EOS M6 How to turn on flash

Chased

  • Hello, I'm not really familiar with the setting of canon eos m6. But I'm wondering how to turn on the flash, i try to turn it on from the "info" Button, but it says "not available if external flash is turned off". So I pop up the flash first but it still says the same. What should i instead?

I do not have that camera, so I cannot tell you what buttons to push or menus to use.  I strongly suggest that you download a PDF copy of the User Guide.  I also suggest that you forget about using the onboard flash.  It has a very limited range, somewhere around 3-6 feet, and it will drain your battery very quickly.

Wit the camera set to one of the creative modes, P, Tv, Av, M press the menu button and navigate to the 5th page of the red menus. There you will find a menu option for Flash control, in that menu you can disable the flash from firing, it needs to be enabled. Change the setting from off to on.

With a camera (or any device for that matter) with which you are not familiar, your first step should be to find a copy of the user guide - it is your best friend and will save you a lot of frustration.   You can download the manual for the M6 from the following link: Camera User Guide (c-wss.com).
