User manual CANON EOS 600

[. . . ] INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the Canon EOS 600, an autofocus and auto exposure SLR camera designed with the most a"dvanced electronic and computer technology. The EOS 600 features a dedicated EF lens with a built-in motor, a newly-developed distance metering sensor (BASIS; base-stored image sensor) and a high-speed super microprocessor, all combined to offer accurate and fast focus. Its Predictive Focu"s control captures high-speed subjects even when coming head-on. The built-in mot~r drive lets you take approximately 5 frames per second for continuous shooting. [. . . ] To clear auto exposure bracketing, display the "AEB" and preset bracket value again by following step 1), then turn the electronic input dial until the bracket value returns to 0. 0. 1) Press the exposure compensation button and "0. 0 + /-" appears in the display panel. 41 40 IVIULTIPLE EXPOSURES Sal'!lple photos: The EOS 600's multiple exposure function allows youfto take two or more exposures on the same frame for a creative effect. A' maximuQl of nine exposures on the same frame can be done with the simple operation of the electronic input dial. 1) Press both the shooting mode selector and the exposure compensation button simultaneously. The "ME" mark indicating multiple exposure status will then appear in the display panel and the frame counter will become "1", -1. 5 step of compensation used ± 0 step of compensation used + 1. 5 step of compensation used Helpful Hints , If you wish to shift your bracketed exposure value toward overexposure, you can combine the exposure compensation with the auto exposure bracketing. Example: If you wish to bracket at 0. 5 step, 1. 5 step and 2. 5 step: 1) Set the auto exposure bracketing (AEB) value to 1. 0; this will give -1. 0 step, 0, + 1. 0 step. 2) Set the exposure compensation value to + 1. 5. This will' shift all exposures up 1. 5 step. The bracketed value will be + 0. 5 step, + 2. 5 step. * * -1. 0 (AEB) '+ 1. 5 (EX) +0. 5 o (AEB) + 1. 5 (EX) + 1. 5 + 1. 0 (AEB) + 1. 5 (EX) +2. 5 + 1. 5 step, 2) While pressing both turn the electronic input dial to the desired number of exposures. For example, set "3" on the frame counter if you want to make three exposures on· the same frame.

After the preset number of exposures have been completed, the film automatically advances to the next frame. Number of exposures Double Triple Quadruple Exposure Compensation (Gvid. eline) -1. 0 -1. 5 -2. 0 Clearing Preset Exposures Befare shooting Follow steps # 1 and # 2 and turn the electronic input dial to return the frame counter to "1". While shooting The operating procedures are basically the same as mentioned above, but turn the electronic input dial until the frame counter is blank. Exposure Compensation It is necessary to correct the exposure depending on the situation because the same frame is exposed several times. Use the bulb mode for exposures longer than 30 seconds like astro or night photography. 1) Set the shooting mode to "M". 2) Turn the electronic input dial until "bulb" (next to 30") displays. 3) Set the aperture value by turning the electronic input dial while pressing. the manual aperture set button. Notes 1. It is not advisable to make multiple exposures on the first or last several frames due to possible film curl which may adversely affect image registration. Generally, the first exposure of a series should be a relatively dark subject so that the image in the next exposure will show up clearly. When using print film, please inform the developer that you have taken multiple exposures, or your photos may be processed incorrectly. · · · The camera requires relatively little power in the bulb mode saving battery usage. Bulb operation time displays by a series of three bars and numbers from 1 to 30. Maximum exposure time display is 120 seconds (three bars and 30). used with auto exposure bracketing. · · · U. se the Technical Back E to control the exposure time within a period of 23 hr. Use a tripod, Remote Switch 60T3 and Grip GR20 (available optionally) when taking long exposures. [. . . ] The GR20 (with remote control terminal): available optionally. The large-size, Grip GR10 is available optionally. 64 65 Display Panel Illumination Button Film Rewind: Automatic using the built-in miniature motor.
