1 Introduction Elan II/IIe (North American designation) is the same camera as the EOS 50/50e (in- ternational designation). The "e" in the name refers to the "eye control" option that is used to quickly select autofocus points as well as depth of field (DOF) pre view .
Figure 1: T op V iew 2.3 Command Dial On the top left of the camera you will find the Command Dial . It selects the camera’ s exposure modes and other functions. The red L position is Lock, or the camera off position. T o turn the dial from the L position, press in the metal tab on the front of the dial.
Figure 2: Command Dial ing. The primary advantage of P mode over full auto mode is that in P mode you can use the Main Dial to shift the relativ e v alues of the shutter and aperture selection.
(smallest number) and the camera will automatically select the fastest shutter speed setting that will still provide the correct exposure. While in A v mode, you can also use the QCD to change/bias the exposure up or down (AEC). This is only the ambient exposure bias and it does not effect the flash exposure.
and hold the shutter button until the camera beeps. Y ou’ re all done, but you should do this repeatedly in different kinds of lighting. The more you recalibrate, the more accurate ECF will become. There are three different calibration settings that can be used for different people or for when you wear glasses, contacts, etc.
macro and telephoto use. Y ou can cancel the Self T imer during this 2 or 10 second wait, before the shutter fires by pressing the Self T imer button again. The RC-1 IR remote control is relatively inexpensi ve and works very well for numerous situations.
If the subject moves the focus follows. Sometimes you w ant to focus on a particular distance and then recompose with your subject off center . Y ou can do this by selecting a side AF point, or by autofocusing in One Shot mode and holding the shutter b utton half w ay down to keep that focus distance selected.

Figure 4: Back V iew they only work with the latest Nikon Camera bodies, but the competition on this front is heating up. Also Sigma has some similar HSM lenses that are made in both Canon and Nikon mounts. 3.2 A uto Focus P oint Selection Button The other thumb button back here is the AF Point Selection button.
the QCD. This simply activ ates the QCD when in the "1" position. I usually lea ve it on. Others complain that the dial gets moved accidentally , so they k eep it turned of f. 3.4 Function Button On the camera back near the left side is the Function button.
selection. The exposure counter in the LCD will now display the remaining exposures to be taken on this frame instead of the usual frame number . If you decide you don’t want to use all the Multiple Exposures you selected, simply press the MF button again and then turn the Main Dial until the numbers remaining disappear .
space on the left side and pull the film leader out until it lines up with the orange mark on the right side of the open camera, and close the back. If the camera is not already on, turn it on no w , and the film will wind to the first frame. Can’t get much easier with 35mm film.
Figure 6: Front V iew units do not cover the side AF points howe ver , so with those flashes, the camera will use it’ s own AF assist light when a side AF point is selected. When using some lar ge diameter lenses the left side AF assist light may be blocked by the lens barrel.
4 LCD and V iewfinder Information 4.1 Liquid Crystal Display The liquid crystal display (LCD) on the top right side of the camera, shows quite a bit of information about what is going on with the camera.
T o the right is the exposure graph. Most of the time the indicator is under the 0 mark, but if you hav e set Auto Exposure Compensation (AEC) the indicator will move to the - or the + side to show how much compensation you are using. It has a +/- 2 stop range.
farthest right, bottom indicator is a dot to show that the camera has found something to focus on. 5 Flash 5.1 Built In Flash The Elan II/IIe’ s Built In Flash is TTL only .
exposure. E-TTL also biases the flash exposure to wards the area surrounding the activ e AF point. E-TTL usually works better than TTL and A-TTL when the lighting is dif ficult such as a backlit or small nearby subject with a distant background, or an off-center subject.
highest sync speed (1/125 sec.). Also as light le vels increase, to the point of over exposure by the brighter ambient light, the lens aperture will get increasingly smaller . W ith the camera in A v , Tv and M modes, the camera meter will insist on a full and proper ambient light exposure in addition to your flash e xposure.
Y ou will also hav e more things to set on the flash (ISO, aperture, zoom) and on the camera you will hav e to manually set the lens aperture to what the flash says, and you will have to make sure that your shutter doesn’t exceed 1/125 second. Still, with all that, auto flash is a bargain if power and versatility are the main considerations.
designed for cameras like the early Pentax Spotmatics. Some of the lenses were very good and can be found cheap. There are also adapters made to fit older Canon manual focus lenses, but these will either not allow infinity focus or will increase the focal length of your lens with a small telecon verter built in.
full press to fire the shutter . It also has a switch lock to keep the lens open in bulb mode without having to hold the button. 7.3 V iewfinder Options Dioptric Correctiv e Lenses ED are available to correct vision problems. The Elan II/IIe has 19.
the repair process was a bit tricky . Fortunately this hasn’t pro ven to be as frequent a problem as many people expected that it would be. 8.2 Lens Incompatability Other than problems with the battery compartment, the most frequently reported trou- ble seems to be an incompatibility with some third party lenses.
