And if it did I've not used it for years. It automatically sets both aperture and shutter speed whilst letting you decide on ISO and Flash and other options. Like one step of automation above Av and Tv. Im pretty sure your 350D would have had it. Hell I've got 20 year old canon's with it and my 400D did.

Since we're posting old camera ads... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rj5-49IW_U I am going to drive around with my Pentax hanging from my rear-view mirror, and dangerously pass inexplicably-slow-driving Nissan Z-cars on narrow winding highways. The only SLR ads I can remember were print, generally in National Geographic. Canon has run at least one full-page "Wildlife as Canon sees it" type ad in every issue of NG since the 1980s, according to this. EDIT: Program mode, under various names, is older than consumer autofocus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdmVgugP1NU&NR=1 ExecuDork fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Mar 24, 2011 |

If you guys are interested, I'll see if I can snag a pile of the old 1950s-1980s ads and promo material and scan 'em before she ends up throwing them out.

One thing P mode gets you vs. shutter/aperture priority modes is how the camera does exposure on a scene when using a flash. http://www.usa.canon.com/dlc/controller?act=GetArticleAct&articleID=106 quote:

Okay I am probably just doing something wrong I think. I've been uploading my stuff to flickr using Lightroom, but it only goes up to the "Large" size when I go and look at it. I've seen some of the stuff people post in "Original." How do I upload it and maintain the crazy resolution?

You need to be a "pro" flickr user to display anything larger than "Large". The upgrade also gives you unlimited filesize uploads (vs. 100 MB / month) and lets you keep more than 200 pictures up. They don't tell you about these restrictions on the free flickr account when you sign up (at least, I didn't see them, maybe they were buried in some fine legalese-print somewhere), but they tell you about the 200 pictures thing when you hit about 175 in your photostream. e,f,b

I will probably be investing in Pro soon, then. Gotta have that masturbatory pixel-peeping resolution. Also al ready at like 10% of the photo cap. I knew this free poo poo was too good to be true.

I limit all my uploads to like 1500px long edge anyway. I'm not sure exactly what I have against uploading full resolution to flickr other than (my) stuff very rarely looks AMAZING 1:1.

I usually limit my Lightroom exports to 1800px long edge, sometimes smaller (1200 or 1000). Like Martytoof, I'm not really sure why but I think it's probably that I don't really want people looking at my stuff at 100%. There's a pretty significant trade-off between filesize and resolution, with a fairly modest increase in resolution coming at the cost of much larger filesizes (I'm a big dork and I'm going to go ahead and assume this is because pictures are areas, so a change in long-edge length becomes a square difference and the relationship between long-edge and filesize is exponential, not linear). Anyways, once you upgrade to pro (should you choose to do so), the pictures you've already uploaded will magically become viewable at Original resolution.

I actually limit at 1000px long edge for web uploads, especially with facebook. I think some people actually use flickr as a primary backup though, so that's what the original res is for I suppose.
