On the right-hand side of the camera are some lesser-used controls inside a small flap that Canon refers to as the 'Palm Wing'. This is simply a refined exposure compensation adjustment for when you want to decrease highlights or bring out more detail in shadows. Pressing each arrow will make the indicator on the scale move up or down. When you look in the viewfinder there is a vertical scale on the right-hand side. Put the camera in spot metering mode and press the small spot metering button just behind the shutter release button. The arrows are for shadow/highlight correction and can only be used with spot metering.
Keeping it pressed in will also lock the exposure. The button is for previewing exposure and performs the same function as holding the shutter release button halfway down. The old lever idea was much better, but no doubt this was a cost-cutting exercise.Īt the top on the right-hand side is a button and two little arrows. This is fiddly and the piece of rubber can get lost. Instead, the manufacturer gives you a piece of rubber attached to the neckstrap to put over the viewfinder. Many modern cameras no longer have this feature. Next to the viewfinder is a little lever to black out the viewfinder so that stray light doesn't enter the camera during long exposures when the camera is on a tripod.
Next to that are the ISO, SAFETY SHIFT and EXP. The On-Off switch is at the bottom and follows the standard Canon convention 'A for On' and 'L for Lock/Off'. The T90 has a little window in the back so you can see the part of the film canister that has information about the film.
There is a little more on the back of the Canon T90 than there is on the back of the Canon A1, which has nothing apart from a slot for a piece of cardboard from the film box showing information about your film.
