EOS600/630

[frank_bunnik]

Hi, I am about to receive an eos 600 body from a reputable shop in a

few days. There will not be a manual. I have used eos bodies before

so I will probably have no problems operating it. However, are there

any things I should be aware of with this camera?

 

Also, I read that this camera has 7 custom functions. Please inform

me which ones and how to install them.

 

Thanks for any replies, Frank

Its a great camera. The only thing I took time geting used to having used EOS ElanII (50E) and EOS A2E (EOS 5) is the manual setting where you have to set the shutter speed using the dial then press the "m" button while turning the dial to shift the aperture and it shows "OP" for open up or "CL" for Close down rather than "-" or "+" on the exposure.

Thanks for your reply. I am looking forward to receiving my camera. I just received the 28-80 2.8-4.0 L usm lens that I am going to put on it, get either a 2.8 200 or 2.0 135 later. This zoom is awesome and it is really a dream come true.

These are NOT reviews - but rather down-to-earth details about

how to achieve results from EOS gear.

Contributions are always welcome. For instance, does anyone

with an EOS 630 / 600 have access to a digital camera and

softbox? We need photos of the dials, buttons, and body for

the 630 document. Contact <a href=

Or, maybe you know someone inside Canon who can give up

permission to serve up electronic copies of old manuals.
