The camera has nine high-precision AF points, and it is compatible with all Canon EF lenses (including the EF-S lenses). Designed for quick shooting at all times, the camera has many features for all types of shooting from fully automatic snapshooting to creative work. Before using the camera, try it out while reading this Instruction Manual to familiarize yourself with camera operations. [. . . ] The main subject is exposed properly by the flash. The background exposure will vary depending on the shutter speed and aperture. 8 : The flash result will be the same as the <d> mode. 102 Using the Built-in Flash Built-in Flash Range With EF-S18-55mm f/3. 5-5. 6 ll ISO speed 100 200 400 800 1600 H: 3200 Wide angle: 18mm Approx. 1 - 21. 0 / 3. 3 - 68. 9 [m / ft] Telephoto: 55mm Approx. 1 - 13. 1 / 3. 3 - 43. 0 With EF-S17-85mm f/4-5. 6 IS USM ISO speed 100 200 400 800 1600 H: 3200 Wide angle: 17mm Approx. 1 - 18. 4 / 3. 3 - 60. 4 [m / ft] Telephoto: 85mm Approx. 1 - 13. 1 / 3. 3 - 43. 0 Use the built-in flash at least 1 m/3. 3 ft away from the subject. Closer distances will cause the lens barrel to partially obstruct the flash. When using the built-in flash, detach any hood attached to the lens. A lens hood will partially obstruct the flash. A super telephoto lens or fast, large-aperture lens may partially obstruct the built-in flash coverage. In such a case, using an EX-series Speedlite (optional) is recommended. The built-in flash's coverage is effective with lens focal lengths as short as 17mm. If the lens is shorter than 17mm, the periphery of the flash photo will look dark. To retract the flash, push it back down. In the <s> <a> modes, even if you set the shutter speed to one faster than 1/250 sec. , it will be set automatically to 1/250 sec. If autofocus cannot be achieved, the AF-assist beam (small flashes fired by the built-in flash) will be fired automatically (except in the <3> <5> <7> modes). (p. 78) 103 Using the Built-in Flash Using Red-eye Reduction When flash is used in a low-light environment, the subject's eyes may look red in the image. "Red eye" happens when the light from the flash reflects off the retina of the eyes. The camera's red-eye reduction feature turns on the red-eye reduction lamp to shine a gentle light into the subject's eyes to narrow the pupil diameter or iris. A smaller pupil reduces the chances of red eye from occurring. Red-eye reduction can be set in any shooting mode except <3> <5> <7>. 1 Select [Red-eye On/Off]. Turn the <5> dial to select [z Redeye On/Off], then press <0>. 2 Select [On]. dial to select [On], Turn the <5> then press <0>.
