How the Shutter Button Works

The EOS camera’s shutter button can be depressed halfway or all the way. There is a click stop at the halfway point.

Pressing the Shutter Button Halfway or Completely

The shutter button works as described below.
When it is pressed halfway:
• Autofocusing is activated, and when focus is achieved, the beeper sounds and the viewfinder’s in-focus indicator lights in green.
• The shutter speed and aperture are also set and displayed on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder.
When it is pressed completely:
• The shutter is released to take the picture and the film advances by one frame.
Camera movement during the moment of exposure is called camera shake.
Camera shake can cause blurred pictures.
0
To prevent blurred pictures due to camera shake:
• Hold the camera steady (see page 22).
• Use the center of your finger to touch the shutter button, grasp the camera
with your entire right hand, then press the shutter button gently.

Metering Modes

The camera has three metering modes: Evaluative, partial, and centerweighted averaging metering. Evaluative metering is the standard metering mode. Partial metering is set automatically \when AE lock Is used (see page 51), and centenweighted averaging metering is set automatically in the <M> mode (see page 48).
Evaluative metering
This is suited for most picture-taking

situations including backlit conditions. The subject's position and brightness, the background, the existing light,
backlight conditions, and the active
focusing points are taken into account
to obtain a suitable exposure.
Partial metering
The exposure setting is based on the
brightness of an area 9.5% of the
viewfinder screen at the center. It is
effective for backlit subjects.
• The partial metering area (shaded) is approximated by the diagram on the left.
Centerweighted averaging metering
The metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for the entire

scene.
ln the One-Shot AF and Al Focus AF modes (except Al Servo AF) (see page

• You cannot set or change the metering mode manually.

About Program Shift
In the Program AE mode, you can freely change the shutter speed and aperture combination (program) set by the camera while the same exposure value is maintained. This is called program shift. To shift the program, press the shutter button halfway and turn the <iSi>
until the desired shutter speed or aperture is displayed.
• After the picture is taken with the shifted program, the shifted program is
canceled automatically and the original program is restored.
• If the built-in flash is used, the program cannot be shifted.
“AE" stands for auloexposure.

Press the shutter button completely to take the picture.
О
To photograph a scene on a TV screen, use a shutter speed of 1/15 sec. for best results. Use a tripod to prevent blur.
Shutter Speed Display
И
The shutter speed can be set and displayed in full and half stops. Shutter speeds from 2 to 2000 indicate the denominator of the fractional shutter speed. For example, 125 is 1/125 second. For slower shutter speeds, the numeral is appended with the seconds mark ("). For example, 0"7 is 0.7 second and 15” is 15 seconds. 2000 1500 1000 750 500 350 250 180 125 90 60 45 30 20

• If the maximum aperture (the smallest f-
number) blinks, the scene is too dark. In such a case, turn the < > to set a slower shutter speed until the aperture display stops blinking.
• If the minimum aperture (the largest f­number) blinks, the scene is too bright. In such a case, turn the < /Ptk > to set a taster shutter speed until the aperture display stops blinking.

• If the 30” shutter speed blinks, the
scene is too dark. In such a case, turn the < > to set a larger aperture
(smaller f-number) until the shutter

• If the 2000 shutter speed blinks, the
scene is too bright. In such a case, turn the < > to set a smaller aperture (a
larger f-number) until the shutter speed
display stops blinking.
Aperture Display
0
The aperture can be set and displayed in full and half stops as shown below. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture opening will be. The displayable range of apertures depends on the lens mounted on the camera.

Depth-of-field Preview

To check the depth of field visually, press the depth-of-field preview button. The camera will stop down the aperture and you can check the depth of field in the viewfinder.
=] • Depth-of-field preview can be used only in Creative Zone modes.
•The<A-DEP > mode takes effect after you press the shutter button halfway.
•When you press the depth-of-field preview button, AE lock also takes effect.

^ Partial Metering Using AE Lock

In high-contrast situations such as a person spotlighted against a dark background, the exposure may turn out too bright or too dark in certain areas of the photograph. To obtain a more accurate exposure in such cases, use AE lock to lock the subject’s exposure level.
Aim the center of the viewfinder over the area where you want to iock the exposure. Then press the shutter button haifway to focus.
Press the <*> button.
• The <*> indicator lights in the viewfinder and the exposure level
locks (AE lock). The Indicator remains displayed 4 sec. after you let
go of the <*> button.
• Each time you press the <-X-> button, AE lock takes effect for the current exposure level.
• AE lock is canceled 4 sec. after you
let go of the <*> button or if you
turn the Command Dial.
• If the Command Dial is set to <M>
(see page 48), the exposure level index will show the difference between the exposure level you have set manually and the subject’s brightness based on partial metering.
• If AE lock is to be executed again,
keep pressing the <*> button and press the shutter button.
Compose the shot and take the picture.

^ Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB)l

With autoexposure bracketing, the camera automatically changes the exposure level within the set range for three successive frames. The bracketing amount centers on the correct exposure and the bracketed exposures can be varied up to ±2 stops in 1/2-stop increments. The three bracketed shots are exposed in the following sequence: Correct exposure, underexposure, and overexposure. Auto Exposure bracketing is useful for obtaining subtle lighting effects especially with slide film.

Press the Function button and point the <►> arrow to <‘^>.
Turn the <£Z2i> dial to set the desired bracketing amount.
• For example, if 1.0 is set, the underexposed and overexposed
frames will be exposed at -1.0 and
+1.0 stop respectively.
• To cancel autoexposure bracketing,
set the desired bracketing amount to
0.0. The bracketing amount will not be canceled even if you turn the Command Dial to <B>.
• The setting takes effect after any of the following actions:
• The shutter button is pressed halfway.
• The Command Dial is turned.
• Six seconds elapse.

Bulb Exposures
A bulb exposure starts when you press the shutter button completely and ends when you release the shutter button. Bulb exposures are useful when long exposures are required for night scenes, fireworks, heavenly bodies, etc. Remote Switch RS-60E3 (sold separately) is convenient since it frees you from holding down the shutter button during bulb exposures.
Turn the Command Dial to <M>.
Turn the <£ ^> dial until buLb is displayed for the shutter speed.
• bulb follows 30"-
Press and hold down the <^> button and turn the <iSi> to set
the desired aperture.
Frame the shot, then press and hold down the shutter button
completely for the duration of the exposure.
• The shutter remains open while the shutter button is pressed completely.
• During bulb exposures, <buib> blinks on the LCD panel.
• With a new set of batteries, a bulb exposure can be as long as about 4.5
hours at room temperature.
• A bulb exposure can be combined with
multiple exposures (see page 56).

• In the Basic Zone modes (except <Sk> and <‘s5v>), the built-in flash will pop up and fire automatically when necessary in low-light or backlit conditions.
' In Creative Zone modes, flash
photography is possible at anytime by pressing the <4> button. You can also set the flash aperture and sync speed (1/90 sec. or slower) and the flash exposure will be controlled automatically to suit the flash aperture you have set.

Using

the Built-in Flash

Using an External EOS-Dedicated Speedlite
When an external EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlite like the 220 EX or 380 EX is attached to the camera, flash photography is as easy as with the built-in flash. E-TTL autoflash linked to the seven focusing
points, high-speed sync (FP flash) which enables flash synchronization
at all shutter speeds, and flash exposure (FE) lock (similar to AE lock)
also become possible. An external Speedlite is effective for large group photos, portrait lighting effects, etc., when a high flash output is
required. The features available with an EX-series Speedlite differ depending on the camera. Since the EOS Rebel 2000/EOS 300 is a Type-A camera,
see the section in the Speedlite’s Instructions which applies to Type-A
cameras.
