The EOS 10D can take easy, natural-looking flash shots with correct subject illumination using E-TTL autoflash (preflash evaluative metering in memory) using either the cameras built-in flash or any EOS-dedicated EX-series Speedlite. The procedure is as easy as a normal AE shot. This chapter explains how to take flash shots with the built-in flash and EOS-dedicated Speedlite 550EX. For details on Speedlite 550EX, see the 550EX Instructions booklet.

Shooting with a Flash

First set the < > switch to < set the < > switch to < >.

Using the Built-in Flash

The built-in flash lets you take the following kinds of flash shots with the ease of a normal AE shot.

E-TTL autoflash

With E-TTL autoflash (preflash evaluative metering), optimum flash exposure is obtained for the subject in focus. In the aperture-priority AE mode, a slow sync speed is set automatically in low-light situations to obtain a natural-looking, balanced exposure between the subject and background.

FE (Flash Exposure) Lock

FE (flash exposure) lock sets the correct flash exposure for a selected part of the subject. The FE lock functions as an AE lock with flash.
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.

While you press the button, AF operation with the camera is disabled. 2: AE lock while metering When you press the button while metering timer is still active, AE lock takes effect. Convenient when you want to focus and meter separately. 3: AF point:MAuto/Autoctr. In the manual AF point selection mode, holding down the button switches to automatic AF point selection. Holding down the button switches from manual AF point selection to automatic AF point selection immediately. Convenient when you are no longer able to focus track a moving subject with a manually-selected AF point in the AI Servo AF mode. In the automatic AF point selection mode, holding down the button selects the center AF point. 4: ONE SHOT AI SERVO In the One-Shot AF mode, holding down the button switches to AI Servo AF mode. In the AI Servo AF mode, holding down the button switches to One-Shot AF mode. Convenient when you need to keep switching between One-Shot AF and AI Servo AF for a subject that keeps moving and stopping. 5: IS start With the lens IS switch already ON, the Image Stabilizer operates only while you hold down the AF stop button.

Program Line Description
The lower horizontal axis represents the shutter speed, and the right-hand vertical axis represents the aperture value. The combinations of shutter speed and aperture value automatically determined by Program AE are shown as colored lines with respect to the subject brightness (Exposure Value) gradations on the left and top edges of the graph. Example: Using an EF50 f/1.4 USM lens with a subject brightness of EV11.5, the point where the diagonal line from EV11.5 (on the top edge) intersects the Program AE line represents the corresponding shutter speed (1/250 second) and aperture value (f/ 3.5) that the program sets automatically. The diagonal arrowed lines at the upper left indicate the metering range for each ISO speeds.
Shutter Speed and Aperture Value Readouts

Shutter speed readout

The shutter speed is normally displayed in 1/2-stop increments. Numbers from to denote the denominator of the shutter speed fraction: for example, is 1/125 seconds. In addition, is 0.3 seconds, and is 15 seconds.

Aperture value readout

The aperture value is normally displayed in 1/2-stop increments. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture opening. The range of aperture values (f/numbers) displayed depends on the lens used.
1/2-stop increments Shutter speed Aperture value
1/3-stop increments Shutter speed Aperture value
C.Fn-06-1, the shutter speed and aperture value can be set in 1/3-stop increments. (p.122)

On-screen Messages

The messages displayed on the LCD monitor are as follows. Message Busy Loading image. No CF card CF card error CF card full No Image Image too large Incompatible JPEG format Corrupted data Cannot rotate Description The camera is either processing the data or writing the captured image onto the CF card. Wait until it is finished. The camera is reading the image in the CF card. Wait until it is finished. There is no CF card. Load a proper CF card into the camera. There is a problem with the CF card. Replace the CF card. Since the CF card is full, no more images can be recorded or no more printing instructions can be saved. The CF card has no displayable images. Either take a shot and save it or replace the CF card with one that has images. The image is not displayable because it is larger than 4064 x 2704 pixels. The JPEG image is not displayable because it is incompatible. The image data cannot be displayed because it is damaged. The image cannot be rotated because it was captured by another camera, captured in a different format, or edited with a personal computer. The image is not displayable because it was captured in an unknown format (recording format of another camera manufacturer, etc.). The image cannot be erased because it is erase-protected. To delete the image, first disable the erase protection. Printing of a non-JPEG image was attempted. Printing is not possible. Specification of an image captured by another camera or an image edited with a personal computer was attempted with Custom WB image selection. The white balance data cannot be loaded. The printing specification was too many. The printing cannot be specified above this number. The printing specification could not be saved. The image could not be magnified because it was captured by another camera or it is in an incompatible format or it has been edited with a personal computer. There is not enough battery power for shooting or image playback. Replace the battery. The image is not displayable because it is a CCDRAW image captured by another camera.
