Like all the entry-level and midrange EOS models, the EOS 33 has, in addition to the PIC modes, are the standard shooting modes comprising Shutter-priority AE, Aperture-priority AE, Program AE, Depth AE and Manual exposure. Depth AE mode This mode can be used to place emphasis on a deeper or shallower zone of depth-of-field of the desired subject matter. Can be used for virtually any subject but is more often utilized for landscapes, still-life, portraits or night time street scenes. Using the built-in flash or an external Speedlite will automatically cancel the Depth AE and reverts it to a regular Program AE mode instead. Program AE mode This is the easiest (in capable hands) of all the shooting modes available in an EOS camera. With the EOS 33 being a Type A model, using the camera in P mode all the time is made easier since E-TTL illumination is available with any Ex-series of EOS Speedlite, turning photography into child's play. It is just a matter of knowing your camera angle, AF, recomposing if necessary and shoot. Aperture-priority AE mode Use this mode when you want to place more emphasis on depth-of-field control, like when you want to shoot at the lens' maximum aperture for blurred backgrounds or greater zone of available sharpness for landscapes and street scenes. It is also effective for candid photography. With the EOS 33's 35-zone Evaluative metering, exposure measurement for most subject matters is a breeze. Shutter priority AE mode shot in EOS33's 4 fps rate First Frame Second Frame     Third Frame Fourth Frame It was easy to use the EOS 33 for the above series of photos. First of all, the bike's handlebars were very balanced even when I took my hands off them. The stability of the bike allowed me to use the EOS 33 in Shutter-priority AE mode to fire off about 16 successive shots in 4 seconds. It was set in One Shot AF mode, with the focus on the handlebars. First, I had the bike cruising at 120 km/hr before letting the right hand off the handlebars and got the EOS 33 up to eye-level and set the focus - the left hand was still holding the bike. I only let go when the photo session commenced. << Back to Main . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 .
