 Auto-exposure bracketing doesn't work with flash. I don't think AEB works
with flash on any EOS camera - at least, not the ones I've looked at.

 The whole point of AEB is to shoot 3 images with 3 separate exposures in
rapid succession. I presume the reason Canon disabled AEB with flash is
twofold. First, bracketing the exposure is done by altering the EV and not
the TTL flash output. (I *think* AEB usually brackets by altering shutter
speed, which wouldn't alter flash exposure - I'm sure someone can clarify
this point) Second, since bracketing involves firing three rapid shots in
success there probably wouldn't be sufficient time for the flash unit to
recharge between each shot.
