SETTING UP AND SHOOTING IN TV MODE 1. Turn your camera on and then turn the Mode dial to align the Tv with the indicator line. 2. Select your ISO by pressing the ISO button on the top of the camera and then turning the Main dial (the ISO selection will appear in the top LCD Panel). 3. Point the camera at your subject and then activate the camera meter by depressing the Shutter button halfway. 4. View the exposure information in the bottom area of the viewfinder or in the top LCD Panel. 5. While the meter is activated, use your index finger to roll the Main dial left and right to see the changed exposure values. Roll the dial to the right for faster shutter speeds and to the left for slower speeds. ■
IMAGE STABILIZATION LENSES Some Canon lenses come with a feature called Image Stabilization (IS) (Figure 3.6). It’s a mechanism that’s built directly into the lens and helps reduce motion blur due to camera shake when photographing at slower shutter speeds. If you have this option on your lens, it’s a good idea to leave it turned on when doing any handheld photography. Because the IS mechanism in the lens moves when turned on, you’ll want to turn it off when using a tripod. It could introduce camera shake in your images if the camera is perfectly still on a tripod, so it is typically recommended only for handheld photography.
FIGURE 3.6 The Image Stabilization switch on Canon IS lenses allows you to turn this feature on and off.
