Modern
Classic SLRs Series : |
The Canon T-90 was the last model that uses FD-mount prior to the shift to the autofocus EF EOS system. It hardly lasted a year since its inception but what an impact it has created on the design of future SLR. Every inch a classic, despite after more than 15 years, this camera is still hard to replicate even by today's standard. It was also widely acclaimed as one of the true Classic camera of modern times. Here comes a common Message Board designed specifically for Canon T90 SLR model - this is especially useful when you realize ALL Canon FD mount SLRs have long been discontinued you may require a public forum for common support and sharing mutual knowledge or experience among many of you. This Site has proved to be quite popular and I am quite happy to see these effort was not wasted and special thanks to ALL the volunteered Site Maintainers of this Message Board. Enjoy.

Skateboard - OK, sorry, I seem to have misunderstood you. I thought you meant successive multiple exposures on successive single frames. Or something. :-) You mean simply rapid succesive continuous shots like the A-1 w/motor drive and this is easy with the T-90 - open the RH palm flap and push the button in the center of the bottom switch (self-timer/drive mode) while watching the arrow in the top LCD: it will cycle from Single, to High (H) or Low (L) continuous drive mode. On Low it's about 2 frames per second, on High it's about 5 fps. HTH Ken2. From : SkateboardPhoto (bergoo@bigsky.net)

On my Canon A1, I use the motor drive, and I just have to hold down the shutter release button to get frame after frame of hot skateboard action! So on my new T90, how do i set it to shoot frame after frame at a high speed?3. From : Ken D (kdurling@comcast.net)

Skateboard -
Not automatically. Of course there's nothing to prevent you from shooting successive multiple exposures.

I just purchased a Canon T-90 and am excited to begin using it. I see that it has a motor drive capability. On this site i read that you get multiple exposures on a single frame. Is it possible to have multiple exposures through many frames.
Thank You5. From : Syd (scroft@blueyonder.co.uk)

Does anyone know where I can purchase a rotating tripod mount for an FD Macro 200mm f4? Whilst I would prefer the genuine article, I will consider anything that helps me to use this lens. It is too heavy to hang off the front of the camera.6. From : Luigi D. Sandon (cp@sandon.it)

Syd: plain TTL means that you set an aperture on the lens and a suitable shutter speed on the camera, and the meter will cut off flashes when "correct" aperture is obtained. What you miss is the auto-fill in A-TTL and FEL offer, but you could always obtain it - meter with the flash off available ligth, and then select a proper flash exposure, if possible. Slower, but multiflash is a technique that requires some time anyway.7. From : Syd (scroft@blueyonder.co.uk)

Luigi: Many thanks for your helpful and rapid comments (again!)
I can see now that things are not as I imagined, and there is nothing wrong with my Adapter 2. One further question, if you don't mind, what control do I have over the exposure. For macrophotography I obvious want to use as small an aperture as possible.8. From : Luigi D. Sandon (cp@sandon.it)

Syd, I have to apologize for not having been correct: Canon does not tell about it in the 300TL manual, threfore you can't have read it there, forgive me. Only in the "Canon refrence guide for the 300TL Speedlite" is mentioned, I did not remembered it correcly.
You can download that document at www.canonfd.com. It says:
"The first thing you will notice is the lack of any pre-flash function when using the off-camera accessories. Both the A-TTL and FEL feature are disabled since flash exposure can't be guranteed in this modes for off-camera of multiple flash photography".9. From : Luigi D. Sandon (cp@sandon.it)

Syd: if you had read the 300TL manual carefully, you would have discover that with multiple flash you lose all the advanced flash mode but plain TTL. And it could hardly be different.
When you use the flash away from the camera, the camera computer has no way to know where the flash is, and viceversa. Because light intensity is inversely proportional to the square of light-subject distance, the position of the flashes, camera and subject is important. A preflash or an IR beam reading is not the same if the flash is one meter in front of the camera or one meter behind.
Moreover, the camera can't control each flash indipendently. All that the camera can do, is to read the reflected light during esposure (plain TTL) and cut-off the flashes when it's enough.10.

Over a period of time I have collected the various bits and pieces necessary to run multiple 300TL flashes from my T90. I have most of these now and decided to give them a test today. Unfortunately I appear to have a problem.
As we all know, when a 300TL is pointed at the object to be photographed, and the shutter release button on the camera is pressed halfway down, it emits a pulse of infrared light which imparts the correct settings to the flashgun. Pushing the button fully home then actuates the flash. This is exactly what happens with my equipment with the 300TL mounted directly onto the camera.
The infrared/flash sequence also performs 'as per the book' when a Canon Off-Camera Shoe Cord is connected between the camera and the flashgun. The Canon Off-Camera Shoe Cord, of course, has the cord and the shoes as one piece and does not incorporate a battery.
The problem occurs when I try to use an Adapter 2. Either through a Connecting Cord or even mounted directly on top of the Adapter 2, the 300TL fires, but without going through the infrared flash setting stage.
I have two Adapter 2s and they both exhibit exactly the same characteristics. I have tried cleaning all the electrical contacts, both inside and out and the red light certainly comes on when the check button is pressed. All to no avail.
It is almost as though there is a switch that I haven't pressed down. The meter reading on the viewing screen is as it would be if the flasgun was not there.
Is it possible that the exposure will be correct even though the pre-flash doesn't fire?
