Using the Built-in Flash
E : Use this mode if you want to set the flash aperture value.
The camera will set the flash sync speed (within 30 sec. -
1/125 sec.) automatically to obtain the best exposure for
the aperture you set. For portraits with a night scene or
dark background, a slow sync speed will be set to obtain a
proper exposure for both the subject and background. The
flash illuminates the subject, while the background is
properly exposed with a slow shutter speed.
• Because automatic slow-sync shooting uses a slow
shutter speed, always use a tripod.
• If you do not want long exposures, set C.Fn-06. (p.48)
W : You can manually set both the flash sync speed (within Bulb
- 1/125 sec.) and aperture value. The subject is properly
exposed with the flash and the background is exposed with
the flash sync speed and aperture value you have set.
Q : The result will be the same as using the <T> mode.
When using the built-in flash, stay at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away
from the subject. 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.
The built-in flash’s flash coverage is 28mm lens angle.
•To retract the built-in flash, push it down.
This is a Type-A camera (compatible with E-TTL II autoflash)
which can use all the features of EX-series Speedlites.
