RE: EOS Remote possibilities

I once had RC1 which I later sold together with my EOS 50E. I found it quite useful especially the MLU 2 second timer. But for instant release, unless you can hide it well, it will only ruin the shot. I mean we do not want to be photographed holding or even aiming the RC1. But OTOH, the sensor is

EOS 90% coverage test report

Dear list, I just had my negative processed with the photos printed 3R. I followed Bob Talbot's suggestion to find out myself which 90% area is covered by my EOS 30 viewfinder. Judging from the prints, Henry Posner was right when he mentioned that the hidden area was the outer band of all 4 sides

RE: EOS Frame No.1 - always same position?

Either let your eos leave leader out (CFn 2=1) or use film picker. I do the latter, for trying to keep the film off the shutter blades as somebody on this list suggested the possibility long ago. -Original Message- From: Jason Lay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 31 Januari 2001 9:01 To:

RE: EOS Studio with only Canon EX flashes?!?

Hugo, I use ProMax bouncer. It provides the same effect as an umbrella without the hassle. You get portability with this bouncer. Yes, mostly I did not know exactly the lighting effect of my off-camera flash when I took shots. But the results almost always satisfied me. Luke -Original Me

RE: EOS A-TTL and E-TTL

I guess the only logical way to calculate the distance by using the light will be to measure the time it needs to travel from one point to another. Now the range of the subject distance from camera will be from 0.5 m to 54 m (in case of 540ez) which translates to 1 m to 108 m in terms of the dista

RE: EOS 33/Elan 7 C.Fn. questions

Julian, No FE-L with CF4=2. With CF4=1 you can always do FTM without having to continuously pushing the AE-L button. Luke -Original Message- From: Julian Loke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 26 Januari 2001 9:42 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: EOS 33/Elan 7 C.Fn. questions Do you

RE: EOS A-TTL and E-TTL

Hi, I wonder: If the A-TTL sensor reads from the surface of the film, how could it read the pre flash? Moreover, how come the pre flash is fired only when the flash is directed towards the subject to calculate the distance, when this information can be fed by the lens (sort of Nikon's D-TTL)? L

RE: EOS 33/Elan 7 C.Fn. questions

Yes I set the C.Fn.8 to 1 enabling the linkage between FE-L with the selected focusing point. But I don't think it matters. I am unable to have my flash do preflash (and FE-L) whenever I set the C.Fn.4 to 1, no matter whichever button I press or whichever C.Fn. 8 is set. I wonder if the EOS 3 or E

RE: EOS ST-E2, 420EX, 550EX and flash metering

You can always use a flash meter to gauge the flash output whether the flash is on or off camera. Triggering the flash is done by depressing the test button on the flash or on the ST-E2. Hope this help. Luke -Original Message- From: Ian Montgomery [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Hi, Group. I

EOS 90% coverage

Hi, Most of EOS cameras, aside from the 1 series, give us about 90% coverage. Can anybody let me know where 10% missing part is when we look through the viewfinder of these cameras, particularly the EOS 30 (Elan7E)? The upper, left, right, or lower, or upper left, upper right, etc...? Thanks, L

RE: EOS 33/Elan 7 C.Fn. questions

I set my EOS 30's (=7E) C.Fn.11 to 1 and C.Fn.12 to 1. And the camera works fine. Yes indeed, to enable direct selection I have to turn ECF off and do the focusing first using the AE-L button (C.Fn.4 set to 1). I found that the camera focusing function had to be activated, before I could select fo
