People Harness the power of the EOS system to take spellbinding portraits. Canon's own-brand technologies give you superior reproduction of every fine detail, capturing the complexity of skin tones with total accuracy and offering numerous options for creative customisation. FINE LIGHTING, GREAT PORTRAITS Create a sparkle in your subject's eye by extending the catchlight reflector on your Speedlite 580EX II in the vertical bounce position. Fit an ST-E2 Speedlite Transmitter - as shown - and use it to trigger any compatible Speedlite off-camera for indirect flash. And for more sophisticated lighting setups, you can control and fire multiple banks of compatible Speedlites directly from the camera. CANDID KIDS Incorporating Contrast Detect AF, Live View Mode on the EOS 450D allows compact camera style auto focus. This is ideal for photographing children, who can become camera-shy when you bring a camera to your face. PERFECT PORTRAIT LENS With its large 1.8 aperture, the specialised medium telephoto EF 85mm f/1.8 USM is the ideal portraiture lens, offering beautiful background blur and superb delineation. At maximum aperture, fine focus adjustments from the tips of the eyelashes to the eye itself are possible. EXTRA POWER A handy source of extended power, EOS battery grips accept both Canon Lithium-ion batteries and standard AA batteries - ensuring that spare batteries are always easy to find. For extra comfort while shooting in portrait orientation, grips feature specially-placed controls for all essential functions: a main dial, plus shutter, AE Lock and AF point selection buttons. 10
