Flash exposure compensation
This function corrects the flash level in much the same way as the Exposure compensation function. The level of compensation can be up to +/2 stops in 1/2-stop increments.
Using the Built-in Flash in the Basic Zone
In the Basic Zone modes (except < > < > < >), the built-in flash pops up and fires automatically in low-light and backlit conditions. The following procedure applies to the < > (Full Auto) mode with E-TTL autoflash.

Flash-ready icon

Turn the Mode Dial to < Focus the subject.
Press the shutter button halfway to focus. If necessary, the built-in flash will pop up automatically.
Check that the < > icon is lit.
In the viewfinder, check that the < > icon is lit.
Press the shutter button fully. The built-in flash will fire. To retract the built-in flash, push it down with your finger.
Using the Built-in Flash in the Creative Zone
When using a Creative zone mode, press the < > button to pop up the built-in flash. : Select < > mode for full autoflash. The shutter speed and aperture value are determined automatically, just as in < (Full Auto) mode. : Select < > mode to manually set a shutter speed slower than 1/200 second. The camera then automatically sets the flash aperture value to provide the proper exposure for your shutter speed. : Select < > mode to manually set the aperture value. In low-light conditions against a background such as a night sky, you can use automatic slow-sync settings to properly expose the main subject and the background. The main subject is captured by the flash, and the background is captured by long exposure using a slow shutter speed. Because automatic slow-sync shooting uses a slow shutter speed, always use a tripod.
: Select < > mode to set the shutter speed and the aperture value manually. The main subject is exposed properly by the flash. The background exposure varies according to the shutter speed and aperture settings. : The effect is the same as using flash in < > mode.

Reference

Basic Terminology
Abbreviation for auto exposure. It is an automatic metering and exposure system that sets the optimum exposure (shutter speed and/or aperture) based on the reading by the built-in exposure meter.
Abbreviation for auto focus. It enables the camera to focus the subject automatically.

CF (CompactFlash) card

CF card is the small, card-shaped storage media used to record images taken by the EOS 10D.

ISO speed

This indicates the films sensitivity to light. It is expressed as a number following ISO such as ISO 100. The higher the number, the higher the sensitivity to light. Digital cameras also use the same ISO speed standard used by film-based cameras.
Abbreviation for Joint Photographic Experts Group. It is an image file format with various compression levels. The higher the compression rate, the lower the image quality, when the file is expanded (restored).
This is an image file format that saves the image as is when captured by the camera. It is geared for image processing with a personal computer. The image quality is not affected when the raw image is compressed, saved, or decompressed. By using the dedicated software for image processing, the image can be optimally enhanced for the specified purpose.
Color matching standard jointly developed by Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard. Cameras, monitors, applications, and printers which comply with this standard are able to reproduce colors in the same way. (The s stands for standard.)

Red-eye Effect

In a relatively dark room, where subjects pupils are dilated, the light from a camera flash passes through the pupil, is reflected by the retina, and causes the subjects pupils to appear red. Red-eye is particularly prevalent when the flash is close to the optical axis of the lens. Use the following procedure to minimize red-eye: 1 Shoot with the Red-eye reduction function turned on. (The red-eye reduction lamp lights before the image is taken, causing the pupils to contract and thus minimizing red-eye.) 2 Shoot with an EX-series Speedlite. (The light reflected from the pupil will not be directed along the optical axis of the lens, thus minimizing red-eye.) 3 Shoot from as close as possible (same effect as 2).

Using the Canon EOS 10D or Digital Rebel Camera In the High-Speed Photography Lab
Note: Check with your instructor to make sure cameras internal flash has been turned off, RAW mode is activated, and a low ISO (usually ISO 100) is set. 1. Firmly mount camera on tripod. 2. Turn on camera and set mode dial to M (manual) mode. 3. Set shutter speed to BULB by turning main dial. 4. Set aperture (F-stop number) for correct exposure (determined with flashmeter) by turning the quick control dial on the back of the EOS 10D or pushing and holding in the Av button on the back of the Digital Rebel while turning the main dial. 5. Turn off autofocus by setting the focus button to MF on the camera lens. 6. If the camera lens has image stabilization, then turn off the stabilizer. 7. To take photo, press shutter and hold shutter button depressed until highspeed event occurs. Release shutter button after the electronic flash units have fired. 8. Check viewing screen to see if image is a keeper. If it isn't, trash it and try again. If the image cuts off too soon for viewing, use the play button on the back of the camera to view your image. Look at the histogram for you image by pushing the INFO button.
