Canon EOS 30D Instruction Manual

102

E-TTL II autoflash obtains high-precision and consistent flash shots.

If necessary, the built-in flash will pop-up automatically in low-light 
or backlit conditions. (except in <3> <5> <7> modes)

Regardless of the light level, you can press the <D> button to pop-up 
and fire the built-in flash whenever desired.
d

: For fully automatic flash photography. The shutter speed (1/

60 sec. - 1/250 sec.) and aperture are set automatically, just as 
in <1> (Full Auto) mode.

s

: Enables you to set the desired shutter speed (30 sec.  - 1/

250 sec.). The camera then automatically sets the aperture to 
obtain the proper exposure at the shutter speed you have set.

f

: Enables you to set the desired aperture. The camera then 

automatically sets the shutter speed (30 sec.  - 1/250 sec.) to 
obtain the proper exposure at the aperture you have set.
Against dark backgrounds such as the night scenes, slow-sync 
shooting will be set so that both the subject and background are 
exposed correctly. The main subject is exposed with the flash, 
and the background is exposured with a slow shutter speed.

 

Because automatic slow-sync shooting uses a slow shutter 
speed, always use a tripod.

 

If you do not want a slow shutter speed to be set, set C.Fn-03 
[Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to [1: 1/250sec. (fixed)]. 
(p.168)

a

: You can set both the shutter speed (bulb or 30 sec.  - 1/250 

sec.) and aperture. The main subject is exposed properly by 
the flash. The background exposure will vary depending on the 
shutter speed and aperture.

8 : The flash result will be the same as the <d> mode.
