When it is pressed completely:

. The shutteris releasedto take the
pictureand the film advancesby one
fr a m e .

0 ft an Extenderis used and the maximum apertureof the lens becomes smaller
t h a n f / 5 . 6 ( l a r g e rf - n u m b e r ) ,a u t o f o c u s i n gw i l l n o t o p e r a t e .

Otherwise,part of the photo will look dark.
. When using the built-inflash, detach any hood attachedto the lens. A lens
hood will partiallyobstructthe flash coverage.
. lf any of the followinglenses is attachedto the camera, the flash coverage of
the built-inflash might be obstructed.Use an external,Eos-dedicated

. The built-inflash's flash coverage is effectivefor lenses with a focal length of
28mm or longer.At focal lengthsshorterthan 28mm, the peripheryof the
photographwill look dark.
. Before attachingan EOS-dedicatedSpeedliteto the camera, push down the
built-inflash if it is popped up.

E . to retractthe built-inflash, push it down.

With a Canon SpeedliteEX-Series,flash photographyis easy as using the
built-inflash. You can also use the advanced features below.
. This section applies when Speedlite 220EX is attachedto the camera.

. E-TTL Autoflash
WithE-TTLautoflash(preflashevaluative

an optimumflashexposureis
obtainedfor the subjectin focus.In the
AE mode,a slowsync
aperture-priority
speedis set automatically in low-light
to obtaina natural-looking,

. High-SpeedSync (FP Flash)
High-speedsync (FP or focal-planeflash) enablesflash synchronization
with all of the camera's shutter speeds from 30 sec. lo 112000sec.
. FE (Flash Exposure) Lock
FE lock obtains and locks the correct flash exposure for any part of the
subject.This is the flash equivalentof AE lock.

E . f-fTL is an abbreviation for Evaluative-Through-The-Lens.

. Withautofocus,the flashexposureis alwaysbasedon the aperture,and E-TTL
autoflashmeteringis weightedat the activeAF frameassumedto be covering
the mainsubject.
. Whenit is difficultto autofocus,the Speedlite'sAF-assistbeamis emitted

. Whenan external,EOS-dedicated Speedliteexceptthe EX-seriesis usedwith
