External Flash; Live View Shooting - Canon REBEL SL1 EOS 100D Instruction Manual

Cautions for both <_i> (Night Portrait) and <[]> (Handheld Night Scene)
During Live View shooting, it may be difficult to focus dots of light such as
in a night scene. In such a case, you should set the AF method to [Quick
mode] and shoot. If it is still difficult to focus, set the lens' focus mode
switch to <MF> and focus manually.
Cautions for <_> (Handheld Night Scene)
When shooting flash photography, if the subject is too close to the
camera, the picture may come out extremely bright (overexposure).
If you use flash to shoot a night scene with few lights, the shots may not
align correctly. This can result in a blurry photo.
If you use flash and the human subject is close to the background that is
also illuminated by the flash, the shots may not align correctly. This can
result in a blurry photo. Unnatural shadows and unsuitable colors may
also appear.
External flash coverage:
• When using a Speedlite with automatic flash coverage setting, the zoom
position will be fixed to the wide end, regardless of the lens' zoom position.
• If you have to set the flash coverage manually, set it to the wide-angle end.
Cautions for <_:-> (HDR Backlight Control)
Note that the image may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and
may look irregular or have significant noise.
HDR Backlight Control may not be effective for excessively backlit
scenes or extremely high-contrast scenes.
Cautions for both <_> (Handheld Night Scene) and <._.:-> (HDR
Backlight Control)
Compared with other shooting modes, the shooting area will be smaller.
iTt_tJ+dL or _ cannot be selected. If IT_l_+d L or _ has been set,
dL will be set.
Ifyou shoot a moving subject, the subject's movement will leave afterimages.
The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns
(lattice, stripes, etc.), flat or single-tone images, or images significantly
misaiigned due to camera shake.
Recording the image to the card wilt take longer than with normal
shooting. During the processing of the images, "BUSY" will be displayed
and you cannot take another picture until the processing is completed.
If the shooting mode is set to < [] > or < _:->, direct printing is not possible.
