Shutter-priority AE Shutter-priority AE (Tv) is even easier when used with the Canon EOS-3 in conjunction with its 21-zone Evaluative metering system, whether outdoors or indoors (with or without flash). This time, however, I have one unit of the Speedlite 550EX with me, to be shared with the new EOS-1v pro model that was also with me for a full-scale field-test (check out Nuts & Bolts No 38). The first photo shown here, was shot at 1/60 sec. at f/2.8 with the EF 80-200mm f/2.8L AFD zoom lens. Since the background was already dark so the camera only ensured a correct exposure for the subject. The girl was actually dancing in a very fast manner but the flash illumination froze all her movements. Realizing that folly of mine, the next photo, of another dancer, was captured in slow-sync mode at 1/6 sec. at f/2.8 and second-curtain synchronization to provide the motion effect. Normal E-TTL flash in Tv mode Slow-sync E-TTL flash mode     Speeding motorcycle (1/30 sec. at f/5.6) Saloon car racing at 1/60 sec with IS lens The motorcycle (above) wasn't actually speeding. With the red cab stationary, a faster shutter speed would have rendered the bike without motion, making it to look like not moving at all. The saloon-racing car was shot with the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM zoom lens. These eight photos below of a moped bike racer and the 1999 World 500cc Champion Alex Criville of Spain were captured with the Canon EOS-3/PB-E2 set at the normal Continuous High (CH) firing rate of 5 fps in AI Servo AF mode. Sequence shots of a 125cc moped racer (1/125 sec. at f/5.6) Sequence shots of Alex Criville, 1999 World 500cc Champion Both the above sequence photos were shot in 1999, not Year 2000, during my second occasion of using the Canon EOS-3/PB-E2 and 550EX. << Back to Main . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 .
