shutter speeds meet any challenge.
Manual exposure
Metered manual using the bar dot
display in the viewfinder can be
operated with the main dial selecting
shutter speeds and the quick control
dial handling the aperture values. Or
using Custom Function No. 5 can
reverse this, with the main dial
handling the aperture and quick
control dial inputting shutter speeds.
The viewfinder display shows user-
set shutter and aperture values, and
the dot display at the right of the
finder indicates correct exposure
setting.
■ 1/8000 second top shutter speed
The blazingly fast 1/8000 second
shutter speed stops practically any
thing in mid-flight. Shutter speeds
range in 1/3-step increments from
30 seconds to 1/8000 second,
providing superior precision. When
shooting in the bulb mode, elapsed
time is displayed up to a total of
120 seconds.
■ 1/250 second flash sync speed
The fast flash-synchro shutter
speed of 1 /250 second broadens the
possibilities of daylight fill-in flash
photography.
■Auto exposure bracketing
Canon’s unique camera-integral
system allows auto exposure bracket
ing without accessories. AEB is a
way to make certain of a shot that
offers tricky exposure problems. The
AEB function automatically makes
three continuous exposures, shifting
the exposure value up and down
from the exposure determined by the
camera’s light meter. The function
can be set within a range of
■ ¥ / -
3
steps in 1/3-step increments. AEB is
set according to the film winding
mode, and since it can only be
canceled manually, continuous auto
exposure bracketing is possible.
■ Multiple exposures
The multiple exposure function
lets you expose the same frame up to
nine times. The number of exposures
is preset with the main dial while
pressing the exposure control selector
and metering pattern selector. Opera
tion can be easily canceled or reset
during mid-operation. Motor drive-
powered continuous multiple ex
posures offer a great range of creative
effects. Film registration remains
virtually perfect between exposures.
