EF-$ 17·85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM, O.3sec., Shuner-priority AE
A child falls asleep. Now, take pictures
quietly without waking the sleeper!
A child's expression when asleep is especially endearing. Canon IS Lenses are
the ideal choice to quietly capture these precious moments. Without distracting flash
or blurred images. Without waking a child up and missing that sleeping face!
Picture problems
Well, you didn't wake the child up by using a
flash, but you didn't get the picture either. A sadly
missed opportunity, due to slow shutter speed and
blurring with camera shake. So keep a Canon IS
lens ready for blur-free pictures at naptime,
bedtime, or anytime an opportunity arises.

Angles? Framing? How can you capture
the best features of a well-loved face?
Shooting angles really matter in photo composition!
changing the whole nuance
of expression. For example!
here!s
how to use the EF-S 17-85mm f/ 4-5.6 IS USM:
1. Choose the Av mode for exposure and keep the aperture fully open.
2.
Turn the IS function ofthe lens "on."
3. lower your camera to your child's eye level
4. When aiming at the subject! put your elbow(s) on the table
(or somewhere
else) to hold the camera steady.
5. Aim at the child's eyelashes to determine focusing
and press the shutter button.
Why not take pictures of the child's soft hand and fingers, as well as the face?
It's easier to capture these details when your child is asleep!
