Using the EOS 50's built-in flash The EOS 50 has a built-in retractable flash unit. In the Full Auto, Portrait and Close-up variations of the camera's Programmed Image Control (PIC) mode, the flash will automatically pop up and fire away whenever the light level is low. The flash can also be raised and used in daylight situations. The flash is powerful enough for small portrait groups indoors and for fill-in flash effects outdoors. The automatic exposure is TTL, off-the-film, using 3-zone metering linked to the focusing point. Flash exposure compensation up to 2-stops is possible while second curtain and slow-synchronization flash are also available. Without the built-in flash With the built-in flash Without the built-in flash With the built-in flash In using the built-in flash, you are going to see a slight difference in most of the outdoor photos when it is used strictly for fill-in flash, depending on the type of film loaded with the camera, whether color print or reversal. With print film, you will see a much more vibrant overall contrast, especially if the fill-in flash gives a sparkling effect to an otherwise dull picture. With color reversal film, you will be able to see the slightly brighter in overall contrast as compared to photos of the same subject shot without the fill-in flash switched on, just like the above four examples have shown. Like all the other entry-level and amateur-type EOS models, the EOS 50 has among its list of shooting modes, the Programmed Image Control and the usual Intelligent Ptogram AE, Aperture-priority AE, Shutter-priority AE, Manual Exposure and Depth AE. Users can select any of these features that suits their own style of photography. << Back to Main . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 . 7 . 8 . 9 .
