ISO Speed ISO speed is an index number representing the photosensitivity of silver-halide film. Digital cameras do not use film, but their photosensitivity is commonly described in terms of “ISO equivalent” speed settings. (→130) The higher the number, the greater the sensitivity. Higher speeds are better for taking pictures of moving subjects or in dim light, but the pictures will also contain more noise and so will be less sharp.
Setting Processing Parameters Contents of processing for the captured image (parameters: [contrast], [sharpness],[saturation] and [color tone]) can be set with the camera, and you can set and register up to three sets of parameters. Defaut setting is “standard” (0 for all parameters).

As the captured images are transferred to the CF card, you will be able to take more pictures.
White Balance Settings In light from any source, the proportion of the primary colors (red, green, blue) in the light varies according to the color temperature. Higher color temperatures contain a greater proportion of blue, and lower color temperatures contain a greater proportion of red. Moving from low to high, the progression is red → orange → yellow → white → blue-white.
Custom White Balance Setting Custom white balance lets you set the white balance yourself by photographing a white subject to use as the basis for the camera’s white balance, and then selecting that picture for use as white balance data. 1 Photograph a white subject. 2 From the menu, select [Custom WB]. Partial metering zone 3 4 5 66 ● Take a picture of a white subject, just as you would take a normal picture.
Custom White Balance Setting/LCD Panel Illumination ● For best results, use subjects such as plain white paper for white balance basis. ● White balance data is loaded from the partial metering zone (→17). ● You can store white subjects photographed under various conditions on the CF card, then select these images as needed for the [Custom WB] function as an easy way of setting the ideal white balance for any lighting conditions. ● The default setting for < > is the same as the default setting for < >.
Program AE Like < > (Full Auto) mode, this is a generalpurpose picture-taking mode. The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture value to suit the scene’s brightness. This is called Program AE. ∗ stands for Program ∗ AE stands for Auto Exposure 68 1 Set the Mode Dial to < >. 2 Focus on the subject. 3 Check the display. 4 Take the picture. ● Press the shutter button down halfway. ➡ The AF point achieving focus will flash in red and the beeper will sound.
Program AE Differences Between Program AE Mode < > and Full Auto Mode < > ● < > (Program AE) and < > (Full Auto) mode are alike in that both automatically determine the shutter speed and aperture values. ● The following functions can be used in < > mode but not in < > mode.
Shutter-Priority AE In this mode, you set the shutter speed, and the camera automatically sets the aperture value to suit the brightness of the subject. This is called Shutter-Priority AE. A fast shutter speed can freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject, and a slow shutter speed can blur the subject to give the impression of motion. stands for “time value.” ∗ Fast shutter speed 70 Slow shutter speed 1 Set the Mode Dial to < 2 Set the shutter speed. 3 Focus on the subject.
Shutter-Priority AE ● If the smallest aperture value (the maximum open aperture) for the lens you are using blinks, the scene is too dark. > dial to a slower shutter Turn the < speed until the aperture value stops blinking. ● If the largest aperture value (the minimum aperture) for the lens you are using blinks, the scene is too bright. Turn > dial to a faster shutter speed the < until the aperture value stops blinking. The ideal shutter speed for capturing a clear image from a TV screen is 1/15 second.
Aperture-Priority AE In this mode, you set the aperture value, and the camera automatically sets the shutter speed to suit the brightness of the scene. This is called Aperture-Priority AE. By setting a smaller aperture value (larger aperture), you can blur the background to make the subject stand out as in a portrait. Or, by setting a larger aperture value (smaller aperture), you can increase the depth of field to make both the foreground and background look sharp. ∗ Av stands for “aperture value.
Aperture-Priority AE/Checking the Depth of Field ● If the 30” shutter speed blinks, the scene is too dark. Turn the < > dial to reduce the aperture value (larger aperture). ● If the 4000 shutter speed blinks, the scene is too bright. Turn the < > dial to increase the aperture value (smaller aperture). Aperture Value Display You can set the aperture in half stops as shown below. The higher the aperture value, the smaller the aperture opening.
Manual Exposure In this mode you set the shutter speed and aperture value yourself. The camera makes no settings automatically. You can determine the correct combination of shutter speed and aperture value by checking the exposure level displayed in the camera. ∗ stands for manual. 74 1 Set the Mode Dial to < >. 2 Set the shutter speed. 3 Set the aperture value. 4 Focus on the subject. ● Turn the < > dial. ● Set the Quick Control Dial switch to , then turn the < > dial.
Manual Exposure 5 Determine the exposure. ● Set the shutter speed or aperture value manually. Standard exposure : This is the standard reference point for a correct exposure. Underexposure : Decrease the shutter speed or reduce the aperture value. Overexposure : Increase the shutter speed or increase the aperture value. 6 Take the picture. ● Compose the picture, then press the shutter button down fully.
Automatic Depth-of-Field AE When taking pictures of large groups or landscapes, the EOS D60 can automatically achieve a sharp focus over a wide depth of field. All the subjects covered by the AF points, from those close to the camera to those far away from the camera, can be taken clearly. ● In < > mode, the shutter speed and aperture value cannot be changed freely. If the camera selects a slow shutter speed, the use of a tripod is recommended.
Setting Exposure Compensation Exposure compensation is used to alter the camera’s standard exposure setting to make the picture brighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). Exposure compensation can be set up to +/–2 stops, in 1/2-stop increments. 1 2 Set the Quick Control Dial switch to . 3 Set the exposure. Focus on the subject, then check the exposure level. ● Press the shutter button down halfway and check the display.
Autoexposure Bracketing When using autoexposure bracketing, the camera automatically changes the exposure level within the set range (up to +/–2 stops in 1/2-stop increments) for three successive frames. This is called AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing). The three bracketed shots are exposed in the selected drive mode (→63) in the following order: correct exposure, decreased exposure, and increased exposure.

Flash Photography 4 85 4 Flash Photography The EOS D60 can take easy, natural-looking flash pictures with correct subject illumination using E-TTL autoflash (preflash evaluative metering in memory) and either the camera’s built-in flash or any EOS-dedicated EX-series Speedlite. The procedure is as easy as a normal AE shot. This chapter describes how to take flash pictures with the built-in flash, with the EOS-dedicated 550EX Speedlite, or other types of external flash.
Using the Built-in Flash The built-in flash lets you take the following kinds of flash pictures with the ease of a normal AE shot. ● E-TTL autoflash E-TTL autoflash (preflash evaluative metering in memory) supplies the correct level of flash for the subject in the AF point selected by AF. ● FE (Flash Exposure) lock (→90) 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.
Using the Built-in Flash Built-in Flash Range (using EF24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 USM lens) ISO Speed 100 200 400 800 1000 Wide-angle: 24 mm Approx. 1-3.4 m (3.3-11.2 ft) Approx. 1-4.8 m (3.3-15.7 ft) Approx. 1-6.8 m (3.3-22.3 ft) Approx. 1-9.6 m (3.3-31.5 ft) Approx. 1-10.8 m (3.3-35.4 ft) Telephoto: 85 mm Approx. 1-2.6 m (3.3-8.5 ft) Approx. 1-3.7 m (3.3-12.1 ft) Approx. 1-5.3 m (3.3-17.4 ft) Approx. 1-7.5 m (3.3-24.6 ft) Approx. 1-8.4 m (3.3-27.
Using the Built-in Flash ● When using an EX-series Speedlite (→92), press the built-in flash back into the camera before mounting the external flash. ● When using the built-in flash, keep at least 1 m/3.3 ft away from the subject. Otherwise the lens barrel may partially obstruct the flash and cause part of the photo to look dark. ● When using the built-in flash, detach any hood from the lens to keep it from obstructing flash coverage.
Using the Built-in Flash Red-eye Reduction When you use flash in low-light conditions, it can reflect off your subject’s pupils and make their eyes look red in the recorded imge. This effect is called “red-eye,” and is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the retina of the eye. The Red-eye reduction function uses the camera’s red-eye reduction lamp, which gently shines into the subject’s eyes to constrict the pupils and thereby reduces the likelihood that red-eye will occur.
Using the Built-in Flash FE Lock FE (flash exposure) Lock obtains and locks the correct flash exposure reading for any part of a subject. FE Lock is a function in the Creative zone. 1 Make sure the < > icon in the viewfinder is on. 2 3 Focus on the subject. ● In the Creative zone, press the < > button to pop up the built-in flash. ● Focus on the subject you want to lock the flash exposure on. Place the center AF point over the subject, and press the < > button.
Using the Built-in Flash Flash Exposure Compensation The EOS D60 camera can adjust the level of the built-in flash or any EX-series Speedlite. The compensation amount can be up to +/–2 stops in 1/2-stop increments. You cannot use flash exposure compensation in the Basic Zone. 1 Press the < 2 Set the exposure compensation amount. > button. ( 6) Decreased exposure Increased exposure ● Once set, the exposure compensation amount remains in memory after the Main Switch is set to .
Flash Photography with the EOS-Dedicated 550EX Speedlite The Canon 550EX Speedlite allows you to take high-quality flash pictures easily, in the same way as you would with a built-in flash. ● E-TTL Autoflash E-TTL autoflash (preflash evaluative metering in memory) supplies the correct level of flash for the subject in the AF point selected by AF.
Flash Photography with the EOS-Dedicated 550EX Speedlite Full Auto Flash Using the < > (Program AE) mode with E-TTL autoflash is described below. Regarding the operation of the 550EX, refer to the Speedlite's instructions. MODE PILOT SELEC H 1 2 3 Set the Mode Dial to < >. Make sure the 550EX Speedlite’s pilot lamp is on. Focus the subject, and take the picture. ● Make sure the flash-ready indicator < > is on, and check the shutter speed and aperture value before taking the picture.
Flash Photography with the EOS-Dedicated 550EX Speedlite High-Speed Sync (FP Flash) When the 550EX Speedlite is set to high-speed sync < > mode, it can automatically synchronize at any shutter speed of 1/200 second or faster, thus providing high-speed sync (FP) flash operation. When high-speed sync is On, the < > icon appears in the viewfinder.
Flash Photography with the EOS-Dedicated 550EX Speedlite FE Lock The procedure for setting FE lock is the same as with the built-in flash (→90). FE lock works in both the normal flash and high-speed sync (FP flash) modes. Flash Exposure Compensation For flash pictures with flash exposure compensation, see “Flash Exposure Compensation” for the built-in flash. (→91) Modeling Flash Modeling flash allows you to see shadows, light balance, and other effects produced by multilight settings.
Using Non-Canon Flash Units Sync Speed The EOS D60 can synchronize with compact, non-Canon flash units at shutter speeds of 1/ 200 second or slower. With larger studio flash units, the flash speed is 1/60 second or slower. Be sure to test the flash you are using beforehand, to make sure it synchronizes properly with the camera. PC Terminal We recommend you use a flash with sync cable connected to the PC contacts. The PC terminal has a locking thread to prevent accidental disconnection.
