Using The Built-In Flash - Canon EOS EOS 300D Instruction Manual

Using the Built-in Flash

Using the Built-in Flash in the Basic Zone
In the Basic Zone modes (except < I> < P> < S>), the built-in
flash pops up and fires automatically in low-light and backlit conditions.
Using the Built-in Flash in the Creative Zone
When using a Creative Zone mode, press the <M> button to pop up the
built-in flash.
T
Select <T> mode for full autoflash.
The shutter speed and aperture value are determined
automatically, just as in < Y> (Full Auto) mode.
R
Select <R> 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.
E
Select <E> mode to manually set the aperture value.
Against dark backgrounds such as the night sky, slow-sync
shooting will be set so that both the subject and background
are exposed correctly. The main subject is captured by the
flash, and the background is captured by long exposure using
a slow shutter speed.
•
Because automatic slow-sync shooting uses a slow shutter
speed, always use a tripod.
W Select < W> 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.
Q The effect is the same as using flash in < T> mode.
