manual abstract
: Use this mode for automatic flash photography. The flash sync speed and flash aperture will be set automatically as with the < > (Full Auto) mode. : Use this mode if you want to set a flash sync speed slower than 1/90 sec. The camera will set the flash aperture automatically to obtain a correct flash exposure. : Use this mode if you want to set the flash aperture. In this mode, you can obtain a balanced exposure between the subject and a dark background (night scene, etc.) with a slow sync speed set automatically by the camera. The flash illuminates the subject while the background is exposed with a long shutter speed. : This mode enables you to set both the flash sync speed and flash aperture. The subject is properly exposed with the flash and the background is exposed with the flash sync speed and aperture you have set. : The result will be the same as using the < > mode. Flash Sync Speeds and Flash Apertures Mode Sync Speed Flash Aperture The sync speed is set automatically to 1/90 sec. The flash aperture is set automatically according to the TTL program. Any sync speed 1/90 sec. or slower can be set manually.* The flash aperture is set automatically to match the sync speed you set. The sync speed is set automatically within a range of 30" to 1/90 sec. to match the flash aperture you set. You set the flash aperture manually. Any sync speed 1/90 sec. or slower can be set manually.* * If the sync speed is set faster than 1/90 sec., it will be reset automatically to 1/90 sec.

Otherwise, part of the photo will look dark. • When using the built-in flash, detach any hood attached to the lens. A lens hood will partially obstruct the flash coverage. • When a super telephoto lens or a fast, large-aperture lens is attached, the built-in flash coverage might be obstructed. • To retract the built-in flash, push it down. • The built-in flash’s flash coverage is 28mm lens angle. • If more light is required, use an external, EOS-dedicated Speedlite (optional). :Setting the ISO Film Speed If the film is not DX-coded or if you want to set a different film speed, you can set the film speed manually after loading the film into the camera. The settable film speed range is ISO 6 to 6400. 1 1 Move the < > arrow to the < > icon. • Look at the LCD panel and press the < > button to move the arrow.

Reference Basic Photography Terms Exposure Exposure occurs when the film is exposed to light. Correct exposure is obtained when the film is exposed to a proper amount of light in accordance with the film’s sensitivity to light. The correct exposure is adjusted with the camera’s shutter speed and lens aperture. Shutter speed The shutter speed is the length of time the camera’s shutter opens to expose the film to the light coming through the lens. The shutter speed is displayed on the camera’s LCD panel and in the viewfinder. It ranges from 1/2000 sec. to 30 sec. and bulb. Aperture The aperture setting (f/number) indicates the size of the aperture opening in the lens (focal length/aperture diameter). It is used to adjust the amount of light striking the film. The aperture setting is displayed on the camera’s LCD panel and in the viewfinder. It can range anywhere from 1.0 to 91, depending on the lens attached to the camera. ISO film speed The ISO film speed indicates the film’s sensitivity to light. The higher the film speed, the more sensitive the film is. Therefore, ISO 400 and higher- speed films are suited for low-light conditions. The ISO film speed is set in accordance with standards set by the International Standardization Organization (ISO). A film speed from 6 to 6400 can be displayed on the LCD panel. Depth of fiel...
