Power/Quick Control dial switch.
The power switch off ers three set-
tings. Off does just what you expect
it to do. The On setting turns on the
power but limits the use of the
Quick Control dial to make direct
adjustments to some LCD panel
functions. The topmost setting
denoted by a hockey stick-type sym-
bol enables direct use of the Quick
Control dial for setting the Flash
Exposure Compensation amount,
drive mode, and so on, on the LCD
panel and in the viewfi nder.
Side of the camera
On one side of the EOS 50D is the
CompactFlash (CF) card slot door. Opening
the door reveals the slot for the CF card and
the card eject button. The opposite side of
the camera houses two sets of camera termi-
nals under individual rubber covers. The rub-
ber covers are embossed with descriptive
icons and text to identify the terminals.
Here is an overview of each camera terminal.
✦
Digital terminal. This terminal
enables you to connect the camera
directly to a computer to download
images from the camera to the
computer, or to a PictBridge-
compatible printer to print images
from the CF card.
✦
PC terminal. This threaded, no-
polarity terminal enables connec-
tion between the camera and
studio fl ash units that have a sync
cord. While Canon recommends
using a sync speed of 1/30 to 1/60
sec., I’ve found that the camera
syncs with my studio strobes at
1/125 sec. with no problem,
although you should test your sys-
tem fi rst. With corded non-Canon
fl ash units, the synch speed is
1/250 sec.
