Using The Built-In Flash - Canon ADVANCED EOS IX 7 Instructions Manual

Using the Built-In Flash
In Application Zone modes you can use the built-in flash to take pictures just as
you would in normal AE mode, using your choice of aperture value or shutter
speed (up to the maximum synchronized shutter speed). The flash exposure is
automatically controlled at all times based on the current aperture setting using
AF frame-linked, subject-weighted 3-zone TTL flash exposure control.
*To leave the flash settings up to the camera, select P mode.
The shutter speed and aperture will be set automatically, just as in © Full
Auto mode, and the flash level will be weighted towards the main subject.
*To select the aperture setting yourself, select Av mode.
This is useful in dark locations, when you want to use automatic slow synchro
shooting to get the proper exposure for both the subject and background. The
main subject will be exposed using automatic flash exposure compensation
based on your aperture selection, while the background will be exposed at a
shutter speed determined by the camera using aperture priority AE control.
* Because automatic slow synchro photography uses slow shutter speeds, you
should use a tripod.
*To select the shutter speed yourself, select Tv mode.
The camera will automatically set the aperture based on your shutter speed
selection, and apply automatic flash exposure compensation based on that
aperture setting
* If you select a shutter speed faster than 1/125 second, the camera will
automatically reset the shutter to 1/125 second before shooting.
*To select both the shutter speed and aperture setting yourself, select M
mode.
The background exposure will then be determined by the manual exposure
settings. The subject will be exposed using automatic flash exposure
compensation based on the aperture setting.
