Software Development Kit

The Canon EOS Digital Camera Software Development Kit (EDSDK) and the Camera Control API (CCAPI) are available on select Canon cameras1 and enables developers to integrate select Canon cameras directly into their software application solutions, giving them access to remote control and communication functionality of the camera. The EDSDK supports USB communication on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux operating systems, while the CCAPI uses Wi-Fi (Ethernet on select cameras) and can be used with almost any OS.

The EDSDK and CCAPI (along with other SDKs and APIs) are provided free of charge and more information can be found at https://www.usa.canon.com/support/sdk.

Flash Exposure Compensation ±3 stops, in 1/3-stop or 1/2-stop increments. *The Speedlites flash exposure compensation takes precedence if flash exposure compensation is performed by both the Speedlite and the camera. Users who prefer to enable flash exposure compensation by the camera should set flash exposure compensation by the Speedlite to 0. *1: Corresponds to exposure level increments on the camera.
FEB ±3 stops, in 1/3-stop or 1/2-stop increments. *FEB is automatically deactivated after three shots. *Can be used with flash exposure compensation and FE lock. *1: Corresponds to exposure level increments on the camera.
FE Lock Supported
FE Memory Supported Stores the flash output of E-TTL II / E-TTL autoflash and automatically sets the stored output level if users switch the flash mode to manual flash. *Flash output may vary slightly between E-TTL autoflash and manual flash. Colors may vary between E-TTL autoflash and manual flash under the following conditions: *When the color temperature of the Speedlite light differs greatly from that of ambient lighting and flash exposure compensation is set toward the negative end. *When E-TTL balance is set to [Ambience priority]. Differences in colors between E-TTL autoflash and manual flash may be reduced by taking one of the follow steps: *Using the provided color filter. *Setting white balance to an option other than AWB. *When combined with specific cameras, FE Memory is possible by operating the camera buttons (by using the cameras C.Fn of by custom buttons).
