107 d : Program AE 4 T ake the picture. Compose the shot and press the shutter button completely . If the “ 30" ” shutter speed and the maximum aperture blink, it in dicates underexposure. Increase the ISO sp eed or use flash. If the “ 8000 ” shutter speed and the minimum aperture blink, it in dicates overexposure.
108 In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture to obtain the correct exposure suiting the brightness of the subject. This is called shutter-priority AE. A faster shutter speed can freeze the action or moving subject.
109 s : Shutter-Priority AE If the maximum aperture blinks, it indicates underexposure. T urn the < 6 > dial to set a slower shutter speed until the aperture stops blinking or set a higher ISO speed. If the minimum aperture blinks, it indicates overexposure.
110 In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to obtain the correct exposure suiting the subject brightness. This is called aperture-priority AE. A higher f/ number (smaller aperture hole) will make more of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus.
111 f : Aperture-Priority AE Press the depth-of-field preview button to stop down the lens to the current aperture setting. Y ou can check the depth of field (range of acceptable focus) through the viewfinder . Depth-of-Field Preview If the “ 30" ” shutter speed blin ks, it indicates underexposure.
112 In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture as desired. T o determine the exposure, refer to the exposure level indicator in the viewfinder or use a commercially-a vailable exposure meter . This method is called manual exposure. * < a > stands for Manual.
113 Exposure compensation can increase (brighter) or decrease (darker) the standard exposure set by the camera. Y ou can set the exposure compensation up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments. Exposure compensation can be set in the < d / s / f > shooting modes.
114 By changing the shutter speed or ap erture automatically , the camera brackets the exposure up to ±3 st ops in 1/3-stop increment s for three successive shots. This is called AEB. * AEB stands for Auto Exposure Bracketing. 1 Hold down the < W > and < o > buttons simult aneously .
115 Use AE lock when the area of focus is to be different from the exposure metering area or when you want to ta ke multiple shots at the same exposure setting. Press the < A > button to lock the exposure, then recompose and take the shot. This is called AE lock.
116 When bulb is set, the shutter stays open as long as you hold down the shutter button completely , and closes when you let go of the shutter button. This is called bulb exposure. Use bulb exposures for night scenes, fireworks, the heavens, and other subjects requiring long exposures.
117 Bulb Exposures If you take a picture without looking at the viewfinder , light entering the eyepiece can throw off the exposure. T o prevent this, slide the eyepiece shutter lever as shown by the arrow to shutter the eyepiece. Y ou need not shutter the eyepiece during Live View shooting or movie shooting.
118 Although using the self-timer or Re mote Switch can prevent camera shake, using mirror lockup to prevent camera vibrations (mirror shock) can also help when you use a super telephoto lens or shoot close ups (macro photography). When [ 8 C.Fn III -17: Mirror lockup] is set to [1: Enable] or [2: Enable: Down with SET] (p.
