Flash Shooting

Each Camera Mode

Tv:

Shutter Priority AE

this mode, the camera will automatically adjust the flash output level to achieve standard

exposure for the automatically set aperture.

• Ifthe aperture display blinks, it means that the background exposure will be underexposed

or overexposed. Adjust the shutter speed until the aperture display stops blinking.

Av:

Aperture Priority AE

this mode, the camera will automatically adjust the flash output level to achieve standard

exposure for the set aperture.

Ifthe background

dark, like a night scene, a slow sync speed will be used to obtain a

standard exposure

both the main subject and background. Standard exposure ofthe main

subject

obtained with the flash, while a standard exposure ofthe background

obtained

with a slow shutter speed.

• Since a slow shutter speed will be used for low-light scenes, using a tripod

recommended.

• If the shutter speed display blinks, it means that the background exposure will be

underexposed or overexposed. Adjust the aperture until the shutter speed display stops

blinking.

Manual Exposure

Select this mode

you want to set both the shutter speed and aperture manually.

As the camera will automatically adjust the flash output level according to the aperture you

set, the exposure

the main subject will be standard. The exposure

the background is

obtained with the shutter speed and aperture combination you set.

Switching Flash Coverage

• Flash head (normal position)

• Flash head (pulled forward)

The Guide No. is 22/72 (ISO 100

meters/feet). The

maximum flash coverage matches an EF 28mm wide

angle lens (EF-S 18mm).

The Guide No. is 27/89 (ISO 100

meters/feet). The flash

coverage matches an EF 50mm (EF-S 32mm) or lenses

with longer focal length.

When

shooting

with

a lens wider

than

50mm

(EF-S

32mm), the periphery of

the

picture may become dark.

[]]

See

p.26

for guidelines about the flash shooting range.

Bounce Flash Shooting

pointing the flash head toward a wall

ceiling, the flash will bounce

off

the surface

before illuminating the subject. This can soften shadows behind the subject for more natural-

looking shots.

Pull the flash head forward and

then tilt it upward to determine

the flash head angle.

0 • When the resulting picture

dark, set a smaller F

number (open the aperture) or increase the ISO

speed and try shooting again. The resulting

picture may also

dark ifthe wall or ceiling

too

far

away.

e The wall or ceiling should

plain white or nearly

white for high reflectance. Ifthe bounce surface

colored, this may produce a color cast

the

resulting picture.

After shooting with bounce flash, be sure to

return the flash head to the forward-facing

position and push the flash head back into its

original position.
