The Canon Speedlite 244T is an au
tomatic,* electronic flash unit de
signed exciusiveiy for the Canon
T50. The 244T sets both the shutter
speed and aperture automatically,
making flash photography incredi
bly simple. When the "P” in the
T50's viewfinder starts to blink, ali
you have to do is attach the unit to
the camera and turn the main
switch on for beautifui fiash pic
tures.
* An automatic exposure fiash

has a sensor which measures
the light reflected back from the
subject and cuts off flash emis

sion automatically when the sub
ject has received the proper
amount of light.

Use this flash when the green "P”
starts to blink.

Use two new size AA alkaline­manganese (LR6/AM-3) or Ni-Cd bat
teries. Carbon-zinc batteries may also
be used, but their life is shorter. In tem
peratures below 0°C (32°F), use fully
charged Ni-Cd batteries for best re
sults.

1. Slide the battery chamber cover
off.

Load the batteries so that their
contacts are in the directions in
dicated by the diagram inside the
battery chamber.
Once the batteries are loaded,
slide the battery chamber cover
back on while pressing the batter
ies down. Make sure the cover’s

tab fits into the corresponding

groove on the flash body.

Remove the batteries if you do not
expect to use the 244T for about three
weeks or ionger.

Wheh using Ni-Cd batteries, please
note that each brand has its own termi
nals system. Be sure to use the type
which is suitable for this flash. Re
charge Ni-Cd batferies according to
the manufacturer's instructions.

Setting №e ISO/ASA Rtm Speed

Set the ISO/ASA film speed corre
sponding to the film in use

Use only ISO/ASA 100 or 400 film with
this flash. Other films cannot be used

Mounting tiie 244T on the Camera

Insert the Speedlite into the camera's
accessory shoe. For proper electrical
contact, make sure it is pushed in all
the way.

Make sure that the lens is set to
the "A" mark, and that the camera
is set to "PROGRAM."

ON,

Make sure the pilot lamp lights up.
When the " (" mark lights up, the
shutter speed switches to X-sync
(1 /60 sec) automatically.
Compose the picture and focus
the subject.

5. Press the shutter button halfway to

activate the viewfinder information
display. When the " i" mark and
the “P" mark light up, you can take
a picture.

• When the shutter button is
pressed halfway, the Speedlite

emits near infrared rays and
an aperture is automatically
selected according to the
shooting distance and reflec
tivity of the subject.

E

6. Set the main switch to OFF when
flash photography is finished.

Notes

1. if the subject is too far from the
flash, the green "P" will blink rapid
ly (8 times per sec) to warn you.
(The "t" remains solid.) Move
closer to the subject until the "P"
stops blinking Once you have
found a suitable shooting position,
be sure to remove your finger from
the shutter button* and re-focus
the subject. Then you can take the
picture.
* If you do not remove your

finger from the shutter button
after changing your position,
exposure will be incorrect,
since exposure is set each
time the shutter button is
pressed halfway.

Please note that the closest shoot
ing distance is 0.5m with ISO/ASA

too and 1 m with ISO/ASA 400 film.

The flash auto shooting distance

range is greater when using
ISO/ASA 400 film. Thus you can

photograph a subject that is up to

11.4m (37.4 ft.) away when using

brighter (f/2.8 or larger) lenses.

When using a lens with a maxi
mum aperture of f/3.5 or smaller,
keep in mind that the flash auto
shooting distance range will be
less than when using brighter

(f/2 6 or larger) lenses.
Rapid continuous shooting with
the T50 is not possible when the
244T is mounted.
