NOTICE
THAT WHATEVER FUNCTION NEEDS TO BE CHANGED, THE CHANGE IS
ALWAYS MADE BY THE INPUT DIAL. THIS IS ALSO TRUE OF THE CONTROLS
UNDER THE PALM WING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAMERA. THE SPEED
AND PRECISION OF THE INPUT DIAL ALLOWS EITHER LARGE OR SMALL
CHANGES TO BE MADE QUICKLY. IN ANY EXPOSURE MODE, THE SHUTTER
AND/OR
APERTURE CAN BE ADJUSTED IN INCREMENTS AS SMALL AS 1/3
STOPS. FOR LOW LIGHT WORK, THE LCD PANEL CAN BE ILLUMINATED.
[PRESS ILLUMINATOR BUTTON. SWITCH
THE LENS FROM MANUAL TO "AF".]
BEING THE TOP OF THE EOS LINE MEANS THE EOS-l IS THE FASTEST AUTO
FOCUS CAMERA CANON MAKES. IT HAS TWO MAIN COMPUTERS INSTEAD OF
ONE, WITH ONE USED ONLY FOR AUTOFOCUS AND FOUR BASIS FOCUSING
SENSORS INSTEAD
OF TWO, RESULTING IN LIGHTNING FAST RESPONSE. TO
PROVE MY POINT, POINT THE BRACKET IN THE CENTER OF THE VIEWFINDER
AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT SUBJECTS, ONE AT A TIME, AND NOTICE HOW
QUICKLY THE CAMERA SNAPS INTO FOCUS WITH A GENTLE PRESS OF THE
SHUTTER RELEASE. A SUBTLE CHIRPING SOUND INDICATES CORRECT FOCUS.
[WATCH CAREFULLY AND LISTEN FOR THE "CHIRP". IF THE CUSTOMER HAS
DIFFICULTY FOCUSING, EXPLAIN THE NECESSITY OF FOCUSING ON LINES~
TAKE THE CAMERA AND DEMONSTRATE CORRECT FOCUSING TECHNIQUES, IF
NECESSARY. ]
ALSO,
AS YOU'VE PROBABLY NOTICED, THIS CAMERA USES THE CANON EF
SERIES OF INTERCHANGEABLE LENSES. EACH LENS FEATURES A FULL
COMPUTER AND TWO MOTORS - ONE TO FOCUS AND ONE TO CONTROL THE
APERTURE. THIS FULLY ELECTRONIC SYSTEM ALLOWS FOR THE APERTURE TO
BE MORE COMFORTABLY CONTROLLED BY THE QUICK CONTROL DIAL ON THE
BACK OF THE CAMERA AND ALSO ALLOWS ELECTRONIC DEPTH OF FIELD
PREVIEW IN
EVERY CAMERA MODE.
[ROTATE INPUT DIAL TO THE RIGHT. DEPRESS PREVIEW BUTTON SEVERAL
TIMES. ]
AND SPEAKING OF MODES, THE CAMERA HAS SIX OF THEM. THE OTHER MODES
ARE MANUAL CONTROL, SHUTTER PRIORITY, APERTURE PRIORITY, TIME
EXPOSURE AND CANON'S UNIQUE DEPTH MODE.
[DEPRESS MODE BUTTON AND ROTATE INPUT DIAL THROUGH ALL MODES,
ENDING IN THE PROGRAM MODE.]
RIGHT
NOW, IT IS IN THE PROGRAM MODE WHICH SETS BOTH SHUTTER AND
APERTURE BUT ALLOWS YOU TO SHIFT TO DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS WITHOUT
CHANGING TOTAL EXPOSURE WITH A QUICK FLIP OF THE INPUT DIAL.
[DEMONSTRATE THIS.]
IF YOU WISH TO FINE TUNE THE EXPOSURE WHILE IN THE AUTOMATIC MODE,
THE QUICK CONTROL DIAL WILL ACT AS AN EXPOSURE COMPENSATION WHEEL,
GIVING YOU EASY ACCESS TO MANUAL EXPOSURE CORRECTIONS AND
ENHANCING YOUR CONTROL OVER THE AUTOMATIC MODES. NOTICE THAT YOU
CAN DO THIS WITHOUT REMOVING YOUR EYE FROM THE VIEWFINDER.
AUTOFOCUS MODES ARE SIMILARLY SELECTABLE.
[DEMONSTRATE AF MODE AND PUT CAMERA IN "AI SERVO" MODE.]
