The M icon on the right of the page title indicates that the function can be used when the Mode Dial is set to < d / s / f / a / F >.
88 The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture to suit the subject’s brightness. Th is is called P rogram AE. *< d > stands for Pr ogram. * AE stands for Auto Exposure. 1 Set the Mode Dial to < d >. 2 Focus the su bject.
89 d : Program AE If the “ 30" ” shutter speed and the maximum aperture blink, it indicates underexposure. Increase the ISO speed or u se flash.
90 In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture to obtain the correct exposure matching the brightness of the subject. This is ca lled shutter- priori ty AE. A faster shutter speed can freeze the action or moving subject.
91 s : Shutter-Priority AE If the maximum aperture blinks, it indicates underexposure. Tu rn t h e < 6 > dial to set a slower shutter speed until the aperture stops blinking or set a higher ISO speed. If the minimum aperture blinks, it indicates overexposure.
92 In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to obtain the correct exposure suiting the subject brightness. This is called aperture-priority AE. A higher f/number (smaller aperture hole) will make more of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus.
93 f : Aperture-Priority AE Press the depth-of-field preview b utton to stop down the lens to the current aperture setting. Y ou can check the depth of field (range of acceptable focus) through the viewfinder . Depth of Field Pre view N If the “ 30" ” shut ter speed blinks, it indicates underexposure.
94 In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture as desired. T o determine the exposure, refer to the exposure level indicator in th e viewfinder or use a commer cially- available handheld exposure meter . This method is called manual exposure.

96 Exposure compensation is used to alter the standard exposure set by the camera. Y ou can make the image loo k brighter (increased exposure) or darker (decrease d ex posure). Y ou can set the exposure compensation up to ±2 stops in 1/3-stop increments.
97 By changing the shutter speed or aperture auto matically , the camera brackets the exposure up to ±2 stops in 1/3-stop increments for three successive shots. This is called AEB. * AEB stands for Auto Exposure Bracketing. 1 Select [Ex po. comp./AEB].
98 Use AE lock when the area of focus is to be dif ferent from the exposure metering area or when you want to take multiple shots at the same exposure setting. Press the < A > button to lock the exposure, then recompose and take the shot. This is called AE lock.
99 When bulb is set, the shutter st ays open while you hold down the shutter button completely , and closes when you let go of the shutte r button. This is called bulb exposure. Use bulb exposures fo r night scenes, fireworks, the heavens, and other subject s requiring long exposures.
100 F : Bulb Exposures If you take a picture without looking at the viewfinder , light e ntering the eyepiece can throw off the exposure. T o prevent this, u se the eyepiece cover (p.23) attached to the camera strap. 1 Remove the eyecup. Push the bottom of the eyecup upward.
101 Although using the self-timer or Remote Switch can prevent camera shake, using mirror lockup to prevent camera vibrations ca n also help when you use a super telephoto lens or shoot close ups. When [ 8 C.Fn III -6: Mirror lockup] is set to [1: Enable] (p.
102 With Remote Controller RC-1 or RC-5 (both sold separately), you can shoot remotely up to about 5 meters/16.4 feet from the camera. RC-1 enables you to shoot immediately or have a 2-sec. delay , and RC-5 has a 2-sec. delay . 1 Focus the su bject. 2 Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF>.
103 An EX-series S pe edlite (sold sepa rately) makes flash photography as easy as normal shooting with out flash. For detailed instructions, see the EX-series Speedlite’ s instruction manual. This camera is a T ype-A camera that can use all the features of EX-series S peedlites.
104 D Flash Photography Sync Spee d The camera can synchronize with non-Canon compact flash units at 1/ 200 sec. and slower speeds. With la rge studio flash units, since the flash duration is longer , set the sync speed within 1/60 se c. to 1/30 sec. Be sure to test the flash synchronization before shooting.
105 When an EX-series Speedlite (such as the 580EX II and 430EX II) settable by the camera is attached, you can use the camera’ s menu screen to set the S peedlite’s flash function settings and Custom Functions. First attach the S pee dlite to the camera and turn on the Speedlite.
