Using the Built-in Flash

The built-in flash lets you take the following kinds of flash pictures with the ease of a normal AE

shot.

E-TTL autoflash

E-TTL autoflash (preflash evaluative metering in memory) supplies the correct level of flash for

the subject in the focusing point selected by AF.

FE (Flash Exposure) lock (^94)

FE (flash exposure) lock sets the correct flash exposure for a selected part of the subject. The

FE lock functions as an AE lock with flash.

Flash exposure compensation (^95)

This function corrects the flash level in much the same way as the Exposure compensation
function. The level of compensation oan be up to ±2 stops in 1/2-stop increments.

Using the Built-in Fiash in the Easy

Shooting Zone

In the Easy Shooting zone (except in (*4) and (<^) modes), the built-in flash pops up and

fires automatically in low-light or backlit conditions.

Using the Built-in Flash in the Creative Zone

In the Creative zone, you can take flash pictures by simply pressing the button to pop

up the built-in flash at any time, regardless of lighting conditions.

P :

Select

( P )

mode for full autoflash.

The shutter speed and aperture value are determined automatically, just as in (O)

(Full Auto) mode.

Tv : Select ( T v ) mode to manually set a shutter speed slower than 1/200 second.

The camera then automatically sets the flash aperture value to provide the proper

exposure for your shutter speed.

Av : Select ( A v ) mode to manually set the aperture value.

In low-light conditions against a background suoh as a night sky, you can use

automatic slow-sync settings to properly expose the main subject and the
background. The main subject is captured by the flash, and the background is

captured by time exposure using a slow shutter speed.

Because automatic slow-sync photography uses a slow shutter speed, always use

a tripod.

M : Select ( M > mode to set the shutter speed and the aperture value manually.

The main subject is exposed properly by the flash. The background exposure varies

according to the shutter speed and aperture settings.

A-DEP ;

The effect is the same as using flash in

(

P) mode.
