The following precautions are provided to prevent harm or injury to

yourself and others. Make sure to thoroughly understand and follow

these precautions before using the product.

If you experience any malfunctions, problems, or damage to the

product, contact the nearest Canon Service Center or the dealer

from whom you purchased the product.

Safety Precautions

Warnings: Follow the warnings below. Otherwise, death or

serious injuries may result.

To prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, explosions, and electrical shock,

follow the safeguards below:

• Do not use any batteries, power sources, or accessories not specified in the

Instruction Manual. Do not use any home-made or modified batteries, or the

product if it is damaged.

• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery. Do not apply heat or

solder to the battery. Do not expose the battery to fire or water. Do not subject the

battery to strong physical shock.

• Do not insert the battery’s plus and minus ends incorrectly.

• Do not recharge the battery in temperatures outside the allowable charging

(working) temperature range. Also, do not exceed the recharge time indicated in

the Instruction Manual.

• Do not insert any foreign metallic objects into the electrical contacts of the camera,

accessories, connecting cables, etc.



When disposing of a battery, insulate the electrical contacts with tape. Contact with

other metallic objects or batteries may cause a fire or an explosion.

If excessive heat, smoke, or fumes are emitted when recharging the battery,

immediately unplug the battery charger from the power outlet to stop recharging.

Otherwise, it may cause a fire, heat damage, or electrical shock.

If the battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or fumes, remove it

immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process. It may cause a fire,

electrical shock or burns if you keep using it.

Prevent any battery leakage from contacting your eyes, skin, and clothing. It can

cause blindness or skin problems. If the battery leakage comes in contact with your

eyes, skin, or clothing, flush the affected area with lots of clean water without rubbing

it. See a physician immediately.

Do not leave any cords near a heat source. It can deform the cord or melt the

insulation and cause a fire or electrical shock.

Do not hold the camera in the same position for long periods of time. Even if the

camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same body part may cause

skin redness or blistering due to low-temperature contact burns. Using a tripod is

recommended for people with circulation problems or very sensitive skin, or when

using the camera in very hot places.



Do not fire the flash at anyone driving a car or other vehicle. It may cause an accident.

Safety Precautions

When the camera or accessories are not in use, make sure to remove the battery,

and disconnect the power plug and connecting cables from the equipment before

storing. This is to prevent electrical shock, excessive heat, fire, and corrosion.

Do not use the equipment where there is flammable gas. This is to prevent an

explosion or a fire.

If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts,

do not touch the exposed internal parts. There is a possibility of an electrical shock.

Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. High-voltage internal parts can cause

electrical shock.

Do not look at the sun or an extremely bright light source through the camera or

lens. Doing so may damage your vision.



Keep equipment out of the reach of children and infants, including when in use. Straps

or cords may accidentally cause choking, electrical shock, or injury. Choking or injury

may also occur if a child or infant accidentally swallows a camera part or accessory. If

a child or infant swallows a part or accessory, consult a physician immediately.



Do not use or store the equipment in dusty or humid places. Likewise, keep the battery

away from metallic items and store it with its protective cover attached to prevent

short-circuit. This is to prevent fire, excessive heat, electrical shock, and burns.

Before using the camera inside an airplane or hospital, check if it is allowed.

Electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the plane’s

instruments or the hospital’s medical equipment.

To prevent a fire and electrical shock, follow the safeguards below:

• Always insert the power plug all the way in.

• Do not handle a power plug with wet hands.

• When unplugging a power plug, grasp and pull the plug instead of the cord.

• Do not scratch, cut, or excessively bend the cord or put a heavy object on the

cord. Also, do not twist or tie the cords.

• Do not connect too many power plugs to the same power outlet.

• Do not use a cord whose wire is broken or insulation is damaged.

Unplug the power plug periodically and clean off the dust around the power outlet

with a dry cloth. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power

outlet may become moist and short-circuit the outlet, causing a fire.

Do not connect the battery directly to an electrical outlet or a car’s cigarette lighter

outlet. The battery may leak, generate excessive heat or explode, causing fire,

burns, or injuries.

A thorough explanation of how to use the product by an adult is required when the

product is used by children. Supervise children while they are using the product.

Incorrect usage may result in electrical shock or injury.

Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera in the sun without the lens cap

attached. Otherwise, the lens may concentrate the sun’s rays and cause a fire.

Do not cover or wrap the product with a cloth. Doing so may trap heat within and

cause the casing to deform or catch fire.

Be careful not to get the camera wet. If you drop the product in the water or if water

or metal get inside the product, promptly remove the battery. This is to prevent fire,

electrical shock, and burns.

Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the product.

Doing so may cause fire or a health hazard.

Safety Precautions

Cautions: Follow the cautions below. Otherwise, physical injury

or property damage may result.

Do not use or store the product in a high-temperature location such as inside a car

under the hot sun. The product may become hot and cause burns. Doing so may

also cause battery leakage or explosion, which will degrade the performance or

shorten the life of the product.

Do not carry the camera around when it is attached to a tripod. Doing so may cause

an injury or an accident. Also make sure the tripod is sturdy enough to support the

camera and lens.

Do not leave the product in a low-temperature environment for an extended period of

time. The product will become cold and may cause injury when touched.

Do not fire the flash near the eyes. It may hurt the eyes.

Camera Care

This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical

shock.

The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you

accidentally drop the camera into water, promptly consult the nearest Canon

Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry and clean cloth. If the

camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a well-wrung wet cloth.

Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field such

as a magnet or electric motor. Also, avoid using or leaving the camera near

anything emitting strong radio waves, such as a large antenna. Strong

magnetic fields can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data.

Do not leave the camera in excessive heat, such as in a car in direct

sunlight.

The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to

disassemble the camera yourself.

Do not block the built-in flash or mirror operation with your finger, etc. Doing

so may cause a malfunction.

Use only a commercially-available blower to blow away dust when it adheres

to the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirror, focusing screen, etc. Do not use

cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean the camera body or lens. For

stubborn dirt, take the camera to the nearest Canon Service Center.

Do not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your fingers. This is to

prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts may cause camera

misoperation.

If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room,

condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent

condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to

the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.

Handling Precautions

If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid

damaging the camera. If there is condensation, remove the lens, card and

battery from the camera, and wait until condensation has evaporated before

using the camera.

If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery

and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while the

camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a while to

check that the camera is still working.

Avoid storing the camera where there are chemicals that result in rust and

corrosion such as in a chemical lab.

If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions

before using it. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is

an important shoot such as a foreign trip coming up, have the camera

checked by your nearest Canon Service Center or check the camera

yourself and make sure it is working properly.

If you use continuous shooting, Live View shooting, or movie shooting for a

prolonged period, the camera may become hot. This is not a malfunction.

If there is a bright light source inside or outside the image area, ghosting

may occur.

LCD Monitor

Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision

technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there may be a few dead pixels

displaying only black or red, etc. among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels.

Dead pixels are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded.

If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur

where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only

temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days.

The LCD monitor display may seem slow in low temperatures, or look black

in high temperatures. It will return to normal at room temperature.

Handling Precautions

Cards

To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:

Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force,

physical shock, or vibration.

Do not touch the card’s electronic contacts with your fingers or anything

metallic.

Do not affix any stickers, etc., on the card.

Do not store or use the card near anything that has a strong magnetic field,

such as a TV set, speakers, or magnets. Also avoid places prone to having

static electricity.

Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source.

Store the card in a case, etc.

Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.

Lens

After detaching the lens from the camera, put down the lens

with the rear end up and attach the rear lens cap to avoid

scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.

Smudges Adhering to the Front of the Sensor

Besides dust entering the camera from outside, in rare

cases lubricant from the camera’s internal parts may adhere

to the front of the sensor. If visible spots remain on the

image, having the sensor cleaned by a Canon Service

Center is recommended.

Charging the Battery

Upon purchase, the battery is not fully charged.

Charge the battery before use.

Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be

used.

Even during storage, a charged battery will gradually drain and lose

its capacity.

After recharging the battery, detach it and disconnect the

charger from the power outlet.

When not using the camera, remove the battery.

If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small

amount of power current is released, resulting in excess discharge

and shorter battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover

(provided) attached. Storing the battery when it is fully charged may

lower the battery’s performance.

The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.

The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/

60 Hz power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available

plug adapter for the respective country or region. Do not attach any

portable voltage transformer to the battery charger. Doing so can

damage the battery charger.

If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully

charged, the battery has reached the end of its service life.

Purchase a new battery.

Tips for Using the Battery and Charger

After disconnecting the charger’s power plug, do not touch the prongs for

at least 3 sec.

Do not charge any battery other than a Battery Pack LP-E10.

Battery Pack LP-E10 is dedicated to Canon products only. Using it with

an incompatible battery charger or product may result in malfunction or

accidents for which Canon cannot be held liable.

Load a fully charged Battery Pack LP-E10 into the camera. You can use

an SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory card (sold separately) with the

camera. The captured images are recorded onto the card.

Make sure the card’s write-protect switch is set upward to

enable writing and erasing.

1Open the cover.

Slide the lever as shown by the

arrows and open the cover.

2Insert the battery.

Insert the end with the electrical

contacts.

Insert the battery until it locks in

5Close the cover.

Press the cover until it snaps shut.

Removing the Battery and Card

After opening the card slot/battery compartment cover, be careful not to

forcefully swing it back further. Otherwise, the hinge may break.

The number of possible shots depends on the remaining capacity of the

card, image-recording quality, ISO speed, etc.

Setting [z1: Release shutter without card] to [Disable] will prevent

you from shooting without a card inserted (p.184).

Installing and Removing the Battery and Card

When the access lamp is lit or blinking, it indicates that images are

being written to, read from, or erased from the card, or data is being

transferred. Do not open the card slot/battery compartment cover.

Also, never do any of the following while the access lamp is lit or

blinking. Otherwise, it can damage the image data, card, or camera.

• Removing the card.

• Removing the battery.

• Shaking or banging the camera around.

• Unplugging and connecting a power cord (when household power

outlet accessories (sold separately, p.270) are used).

If the card already contains recorded images, the image number may not

start from 0001 (p.188).

If a card-related error message is displayed on the LCD monitor, remove

and reinsert the card. If the error persists, use a different card.

If you can transfer all the images on the card to a computer, transfer all

the images and then format the card with the camera (p.52). The card

may then return to normal.

Do not touch the card’s contacts with your fingers or metal objects. Do

not expose the contacts to dust or water. If a smudge adheres to the

contacts, contact failure may result.

Multimedia cards (MMC) cannot be used (card error will be displayed).

If you turn on the power and the date/time/zone setting screen

appears, see page 41 to set the date/time/zone.

<1> : The camera turns on.

<2> : The camera is turned off and

MEMO

Basic Shooting and

Image Playback

This chapter explains how to use the Basic Zone modes

on the Mode Dial for best results and how to play back

images.

With Basic Zone modes, all you do is point and shoot while the

camera sets everything automatically (p.75, 276). Also, to

prevent botched pictures due to mistaken operations,

advanced shooting function settings cannot be changed.

Auto Lighting Optimizer

In Basic Zone modes, the Auto Lighting Optimizer (p.123) will

adjust the image automatically to obtain the optimum brightness

and contrast. It is also enabled by default in Creative Zone modes.

<A> is a fully automatic mode. The camera analyzes the scene

and sets the optimum settings automatically. It also adjusts focus

automatically by detecting whether the subject is still or moving (p.61).

1Set the Mode Dial to <A>.

2Aim any AF point over the

subject.

All the AF points will be used to focus,

and the camera will focus on the

closest object.

Aiming the center AF point over the

subject will make focusing easier.

3Focus on the subject.

Press the shutter button halfway. The

lens focusing ring will rotate to focus.

The dot inside the AF point achieving

focus flashes briefly in red. At the

same time, the beeper will sound and

the focus indicator <o> in the

viewfinder will light up.

If necessary, the built-in flash will be

raised automatically.

4Take the picture.

Press the shutter button completely to

take the picture.

The captured image will be displayed

for approx. 2 sec. on the LCD

monitor.

After you finish shooting, push down

the built-in flash with your fingers.

The focus indicator <o> blinks and focus is not achieved.

Aim the AF point over an area with good contrast, then press the

shutter button halfway (p.47). If you are too close to the subject,

move away and try again.

Multiple AF points flash simultaneously.

This indicates that focus is achieved at all those AF points. When the

AF point covering the desired subject flashes, take the picture.

The beeper continues to beep softly. (The focus indicator <o>

does not light up.)

It indicates that the camera is focusing continuously on a moving

subject. (The focus indicator <o> does not light up.) You can take

sharp pictures of a moving subject.

Note that the focus lock (p.61) will not work in this case.

Pressing the shutter button halfway does not focus on the

subject.

If the focus mode switch on the lens is set to <MF> (manual focus),

set it to <AF> (autofocus).

FAQ

The <A> mode makes the colors look more impressive in nature, outdoor,

and sunset scenes. If you did not obtain the desired color tones, change the

mode to a Creative Zone mode and select a Picture Style other than

<D>, then shoot again (p.95).

A Fully Automatic Shooting (Scene Intelligent Auto)

The flash fired even though it was daylight.

For a backlit subject, the flash may fire to help lighten the subject’s

dark areas. If you do not want the flash to fire, use the Flash off

mode (p.63). Other than the flash setting, the camera will shoot with

the same settings as with <A>.

The flash fired and the picture came out extremely bright.

Move further away from the subject and shoot. When shooting flash

photography, if the subject is too close to the camera, the picture

may come out extremely bright (overexposure).

In low light, the built-in flash fired a series of flashes.

Pressing the shutter button halfway may trigger the built-in flash to

fire a series of flashes to assist autofocusing. This is called the AF-

assist beam. Its effective range is approx. 4 meters / 13.1 feet.

When flash was used, the bottom part of the picture came out

unnaturally dark.

The shadow of the lens barrel was captured in the picture because

the subject was too close to the camera. Move further away from the

subject and shoot. If a hood is attached to the lens, remove it before

taking the flash picture.

Depending on the scene, position the subject toward the left or right to

create a balanced background and good perspective.

In the <A> mode, pressing the shutter button halfway to focus on a

still subject will lock the focus on that subject. Recompose the shot

while keeping the shutter button pressed halfway, and then press the

shutter button completely to take the picture. This is called “focus lock”.

Focus lock is also possible in other Basic Zone modes (except <5>).

In the <A> mode, if the subject moves (distance to camera changes)

while or after you focus, AI Servo AF will take effect to focus on the

subject continuously. (The beeper will continue beeping softly.) As long

as you keep aiming the AF point on the subject while pressing the

shutter button halfway, the focusing will be continuous. When you want

to take the picture, press the shutter button completely.

A Live View Shooting

The camera analyzes the scene and sets the optimum settings

automatically. In places where flash photography is prohibited such as

in a museum or an aquarium, use the <7> (Flash Off) mode. This

mode is also effective for capturing the particular ambience of a scene,

such as candlelight scenes.

Prevent camera shake if the numeric display (shutter speed) in

the viewfinder blinks.

Under low light when camera shake is prone to occur, the

viewfinder’s shutter speed display will blink. Hold the camera steady

or use a tripod. When using a zoom lens, use a wide angle to reduce

blur caused by camera shake even with handheld shooting.

When shooting portraits without flash.

In low-light conditions, tell the subject to keep still until the picture is

taken. Any movement by the subject during shooting may result in

the subject being blurred in the picture.

7 Disabling Flash

When using the self-timer, see the notes on page 103.

When using , see “Disabling Flash” on page 63.

The <2> (Portrait) mode blurs the background to make the human

subject stand out. It also makes skin tones and hair look softer.

Select the location where the distance between the subject and

the background is the farthest.

The further the distance between the subject and background, the

more blurred the background will look. The subject will also stand

out better against an uncluttered dark background.

Use a telephoto lens.

If you have a zoom lens, use the telephoto end to fill the frame with

the subject from the waist up. Move in closer if necessary.

Focus on the face.

Check that the AF point covering the face lights up. For close-ups of

the face, focus on the eyes.

2 Shooting Portraits

Shooting Tips

If you hold down the shutter button, you can shoot continuously (max.

approx. 3 shots/sec.) to capture changes in the subject’s facial

expression and pose.

If necessary, the built-in flash will fire automatically.

Use the <3> (Landscape) mode for wide scenery or to have

everything in focus from near to far. For vivid blues and greens, and

very sharp and crisp images.

With a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end.

When using the wide-angle end of a zoom lens, objects near and far

will be in focus better than at the telephoto end. It also adds breadth

to landscapes.

When shooting night scenes.

Since the built-in flash will be disabled, this

mode <3> is also good for night scenes.

Use a tripod to prevent camera shake.

If you want to shoot a person against a

night scene, set the Mode Dial to <6>

(Night Portrait) and use a tripod (p.72).

3 Shooting Landscapes

Shooting Tips

The built-in flash will not fire even in backlit or low-light conditions.

If you are using an external Speedlite, the Speedlite will fire.

When you want to shoot flowers or small things up close, use the <4>

(Close-up) mode. To make small things appear much larger, use a

macro lens (sold separately).

Use a simple background.

A simple background makes small objects such as flowers stand out

better.

Move in as close as possible to the subject.

Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. Some lenses

have indications such as <MACRO 0.25m/0.8ft> on them. The lens

minimum focusing distance is measured from the <V> (focal

plane) mark on the top of the camera to the subject. If you are too

close to the subject, the focus indicator <o> will blink.

If you use flash and the bottom part of the picture comes out

unnaturally dark, move away from the subject and try again.

With a zoom lens, use the telephoto end.

If you have a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the

subject look larger.

4 Shooting Close-ups

Shooting Tips

If necessary, the built-in flash will fire automatically.

Use the <5> (Sports) mode to shoot a moving subject, such as a

running person or a moving vehicle.

Use a telephoto lens.

The use of a telephoto lens is recommended for shooting from a

distance.

Use the center AF point to focus.

Aim the center AF point over the subject, then press the shutter

button halfway to autofocus. During autofocusing, the beeper will

continue beeping softly. If focus cannot be achieved, the focus

indicator <o> will blink.

When you want to take the picture, press the shutter button

completely. If you hold down the shutter button, you can shoot

continuously (max. approx. 3 shots/sec.) while maintaining

autofocusing to capture changes in the subject’s movement.

5 Shooting Moving Subjects

Shooting Tips

The built-in flash will not fire even in backlit or low-light conditions.

Under low light when camera shake tends to occur, the viewfinder’s

shutter speed display on the bottom left will blink. Hold the camera

steady and shoot.

If you are using an external Speedlite, the Speedlite will fire.

When shooting food, use (Food). The photo will look bright and

appetizing. Also, depending on the light source, the reddish tinge will be

suppressed in the pictures taken under tungsten lights, etc.

Change the color tone.

You can change [Color tone]. To increase the food’s reddish tinge,

set it toward [Warm]. Set it toward [Cool] if it looks too red.

Avoid using flash.

If you use flash, the light may reflect off the dish or food and results

in unnatural shadows. By default, (Built-in flash off) is set. Try

to prevent camera shake when shooting in low-light conditions.

P Shooting Food

Shooting Tips

Since this mode lets you shoot the food in appetizing color tones, human

subjects may be shot in an unsuitable skin tone.

The warm color cast of subjects may fade.

When multiple light sources are included on the screen, the warm color

cast of the picture may not be lessened.

If you use flash, the [Color tone] setting will switch to the standard

setting.

To shoot people at night and obtain a natural-looking night scene in the

background, use the <6> (Night Portrait) mode. Using a tripod is

recommended.

Use a wide-angle lens and a tripod.

When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to obtain a wide

night view. Also, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.

Check the subject’s brightness.

Under low light, the built-in flash will fire automatically to obtain a

good exposure of the subject.

It is recommended to play back the image after shooting to check

the image brightness. If the subject looks dark, move nearer and

shoot again.

Also shoot with the <A> (Scene Intelligent Auto) mode.

Since camera shake is prone to occur with night shots, shooting also

in the <A> mode is recommended.

6 Shooting Night Portraits

Shooting Tips

6 Shooting Night Portraits

During Live View shooting, it may be difficult to focus on dots of light such as

in a night scene. In such a case, it is recommended that you set the AF

method to [Quick mode] and shoot. If it is still difficult to focus, set the lens’s

focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually.

Tell the subject to keep still even after the flash fires.

If you use the self-timer together with flash, the self-timer lamp will light

up briefly after the picture is taken.

In the Basic Zone modes, to prevent spoiled shots,

most advanced functions are set automatically and

cannot be changed. In the <d> (Program AE) mode,

you can set various functions and be more creative.

In the <d> mode, the camera sets the shutter speed and

aperture automatically to obtain the standard exposure.

The difference between the Basic Zone modes and <d> is

explained on pages 276-277.

The functions explained in this chapter can also be used in

the <s>, <f>, and <a> modes explained in Chapter

The M icon at the upper right of the page title indicates that

the function is available only in Creative Zone modes

(p.30).

The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture to suit

the subject’s brightness. This is called Program AE.

*<d> stands for Program.

*AE stands for Auto Exposure.

1Set the Mode Dial to <d>.

2Focus on the subject.

Look through the viewfinder and aim

the selected AF point over the

subject. Then press the shutter button

halfway.

The dot inside the AF point achieving

focus lights up briefly in red, and the

focus indicator <o> on the

viewfinder’s bottom right lights up (in

One-Shot AF mode).

The shutter speed and aperture will

be set automatically and displayed in

the viewfinder.

3Check the display.

The standard exposure will be

obtained as long as the shutter speed

and aperture display do not blink.

4Take the picture.

Compose the shot and press the

shutter button completely.

d: Program AE

Change the ISO speed. Use the built-in flash.

To match the subject and ambient lighting level, you can change the

ISO speed (p.92) or use the built-in flash (p.104). In the <d> mode,

the built-in flash will not fire automatically. When indoors or during

low light shooting, it is recommended that you press the (flash)

button to raise the built-in flash. (You can also raise the built-in flash

by selecting <s> with the Quick Control.)

Change the program using Program shift.

After pressing the shutter button halfway, turn the <6> dial to

change the shutter speed and aperture setting combination

(program). Program shift is canceled automatically after the picture

is taken. Program shift is not possible with flash.

Shooting Tips

If the “30"” shutter speed and the lowest f/number

blink, it indicates underexposure. Increase the ISO

speed or use flash.

If the “4000” shutter speed and the highest f/number

blink, it indicates overexposure. Decrease the ISO

speed.

Differences Between <d> and <A>

In the <A> mode, many functions, such as the AF operation and metering

mode, are set automatically to prevent spoiled shots. The functions you can

set are limited. With <d> mode, only the shutter speed and aperture are set

automatically. You can freely set the AF operation, metering mode, and

other functions (p.276).

You can select the pixel count and the image quality. Ten image-

recording quality settings are provided: 73, 83, 74, 84, 7a,

8a, b, c, 1+73, 1.

3 Setting the Image-Recording Quality

I want to select the image-recording quality matching the paper

size for printing.

Refer to the diagram on the left when

choosing the image-recording quality. If

you want to crop the image, selecting a

higher quality (more pixels) such as 73,

83, 1+73, or 1 is recommended.

b is suitable for playing back the image

with a digital photo frame. c is suitable

for emailing the image or using it on a

Web site.

What’s the difference between 7 and 8?

These settings indicate the different levels of image quality caused

by different compression rates. The 7 setting produces a higher

image quality with the same number of pixels. Although 8 produces

a slightly lower image quality, this allows more images to be saved

on the card. Both b and c have 7 (Fine) quality.

I was able to take more shots than the number of possible shots

indicated.

Depending on the shooting conditions, you may be able to take

more shots than is indicated. It may also be fewer than indicated.

The number of possible shots displayed is only approximate.

Does the camera display the maximum burst?

The maximum burst is displayed on the viewfinder’s right side. Since

it is only a single-digit indicator 0 - 9, any number higher than 8 will

be displayed only as “9”. Note that this number will also be displayed

even when no card is installed in the camera. Be careful not to shoot

without a card in the camera.

When should I use 1?

1 images must be processed on a computer. For details, see

“1” and “1+73” on the next page.

1 is the raw image data before it is made into 73 or other images.

1 images cannot be viewed on a computer without the use of EOS

software, such as Digital Photo Professional (p.314). However, you can

perform various adjustments on them that are impossible with other

image types such as 73. 1 is effective when you want to precisely

adjust the image yourself or shoot an important subject.

1+73 records a 1 image and a 73 image with a single shot. The

two images are saved to the card simultaneously. The two images will

be saved in the same folder with the same file numbers (file extension

.JPG for JPEG and .CR2 for RAW). 73 images can be viewed or

printed even with a computer which does not have the EOS software

installed.

Shooting in high temperatures may result in images that look grainier.

Long exposures can also cause irregular colors in the image.

i: Changing the ISO Speed to Suit the Light LevelN

If the ISO speed is set to [AUTO], the

actual ISO speed setting will be

displayed when you press the shutter

button halfway. As indicated on the next

page, the ISO speed will be set

automatically to suit the shooting mode.

ISO [AUTO]

When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (such as dots of light and

banding) may become noticeable.

If you use a high ISO speed and flash to shoot a close subject,

overexposure may result.

As “H” (equivalent to ISO 12800) is an expanded ISO speed setting,

noise (such as dots of light and banding) and irregular colors will be more

noticeable, and the resolution will be lower than usual.

i: Changing the ISO Speed to Suit the Light LevelN

*1: Depends on the maximum ISO speed limit set.

*2: If fill-in flash will cause overexposure, ISO speed may be reduced, down to a

possible minimum of ISO 100.

*3: If bounce flash is used with an external Speedlite in a Basic Zone (except

<6>) mode or <d>, ISO 800 - ISO 1600 (or up to the maximum limit) will be

set automatically.

*4: Fixed at ISO 400 in mode. If bounce flash is used with an external

Speedlite in mode, ISO 400 - ISO 1600 will be set automatically.

*5: Fixed at ISO 400 if the maximum limit is ISO 400.

For ISO Auto, you can set the maximum ISO speed limit within ISO 400 -

ISO 6400.

Under the [z3] tab, select [ISO Auto],

then press <0>. Select the ISO speed,

then press <0>.

3 Setting the Maximum ISO Speed for [AUTO]N

When [AUTO] is set, the ISO speed is indicated in whole-stop

increments. However, the ISO speed is actually set in finer increments.

Therefore, in the image’s shooting information (p.232), you may find an

ISO speed such as ISO 125 or ISO 640 displayed as the ISO speed.

In the <2> mode, an ISO speed other than ISO 100 may be displayed,

but the actual ISO speed used is the one shown in the table above.

By selecting a Picture Style, you can obtain image characteristics

matching your photographic expression or the subject.

the same time focus is achieved.

While you hold down the shutter button halfway, the focus will be

locked. You can then recompose the shot if desired.

f: Changing the Autofocus OperationN

One-Shot AF for Still Subjects

f: Changing the Autofocus OperationN

This AF operation is suited for moving subjects when the focusing

distance keeps changing. While you hold down the shutter button

halfway, the camera will keep focusing on the subject

continuously.

The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.

When the AF point selection (p.99) is automatic, the camera first

uses the center AF point to focus. During autofocusing, if the subject

moves away from the center AF point, focus tracking continues as

long as the subject is covered by another AF point.

AI Focus AF switches the AF operation from One-Shot AF to AI

Servo AF automatically if a still subject starts moving.

After the subject is focused in One-Shot AF, if the subject starts

moving, the camera will detect the movement, change the AF

operation automatically to AI Servo AF, and start tracking the moving

subject.

AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects

AI Focus AF for Switching the AF Operation Automatically

If focus cannot be achieved, the focus indicator <o> in the viewfinder

will blink. If this occurs, the picture cannot be taken even if the shutter

button is pressed completely. Recompose the shot and try to focus

again, or see “Subjects Difficult to Focus on” (p.101).

If [z1: Beep] is set to [Disable], the beeper will not sound when focus

is achieved.

With AI Servo AF, the beeper will not sound even when focus is achieved.

Also, the focus indicator <o> in the viewfinder will not light up.

When focus is achieved in the AI Focus AF operation with the Servo mode

active, the beeper will sound softly. However, the focus indicator <o> in the

viewfinder will not light up. Note that focus will not be locked in this case.

In Basic Zone modes, the camera will normally focus on the closest

subject automatically. Therefore, it may not always focus on your target

subject.

In the <d>, <s>, <f>, and <a> modes, you can select one AF

point and focus only on the area covered by that AF point.

1Press the <S> button (9).

The selected AF point will be

When shooting a portrait up close, use One-Shot AF and focus

on the eyes.

If you focus on the eyes first, you can then recompose and the face

will remain sharp.

If it is difficult to focus, select and use the center AF point.

The center AF point is the most sensitive among the nine AF points.

To make it easier to focus on a moving subject, set the camera

to automatic AF point selection and AI Servo AF (p.98).

The center AF point will first be used to focus on the subject. During

autofocusing, if the subject moves away from the center AF point,

focus tracking continues as long as the subject is covered by

another AF point.

Under low-light conditions, when you press the shutter button halfway,

the built-in flash may fire a brief burst of flashes. This illuminates the

subject to help autofocusing.

Shooting Tips

AF-Assist Beam with the Built-in Flash

AF-assist beam will not be emitted from the built-in flash in <7>, <3>,

or <5> mode, or when [Built-in flash firing] is set to in <C> or

mode.

The AF-assist beam will not be emitted with AI Servo AF operation.

The effective range of the AF-assist beam emitted by the built-in flash is

approx. 4 meters / 13.1 feet.

In Creative Zone modes, when you raise the built-in flash with the

button (p.104), the AF-assist beam will be emitted when necessary. Note

that depending on the setting for [7: AF-assist beam firing] under [53:

Custom Functions (C.Fn)], AF-assist beam will not be emitted (p.264).

If you use an Extender (sold separately) and the maximum aperture

becomes higher than f/5.6, AF shooting will not be possible (except in

[FlexiZone - Single] and [u Live mode] during Live View shooting). For

details, refer to the Extender’s instruction manual.

101

Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (viewfinder’s focus indicator <o>

blinks) with certain subjects such as the following:

Subjects with very low contrast

(Example: Blue skies, solid-color flat surfaces, etc.)

Subjects in very low light

Strongly backlit and reflective subjects

(Example: Cars with highly reflective bodies, etc.)

Near and distant subjects framed close to an AF point

(Example: Animals in cages, etc.)

Subjects such as dots of light framed close to an AF point

(Example: Night scenes, etc.)

Repetitive patterns

(Example: Skyscraper windows, computer keyboards, etc.)

In such cases, focus by doing either of the following:

(1) With One-Shot AF, focus on an object at the same distance as the

subject and lock the focus, then recompose the shot (p.61).

(2) Set the lens’s focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually.

1Set the lens’s focus mode switch

to <MF>.

2Focus on the subject.

Focus by turning the lens’s focusing

ring until the subject looks sharp in

the viewfinder.

Subjects Difficult to Focus on

MF: Manual Focus

Depending on the subject, focus may be achieved by slightly

recomposing the shot and performing AF operation again.

For subjects difficult to focus on during Live View shooting with

[FlexiZone - Single] and [u Live mode], see page 152.

s: Conveying the Subject’s Movement

To freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject

Use a fast shutter speed such as 1/4000 sec. to 1/500 sec.

To blur a running child or animal and convey an impression of

motion

Use a medium shutter speed such as 1/250 sec. to 1/30 sec. Follow

the moving subject through the viewfinder and press the shutter

button to take the picture. If you use a telephoto lens, hold it steady

to prevent camera shake.

To blur a flowing river or fountain

Use a slow shutter speed of 1/30 sec. or slower. Use a tripod to

prevent hand-held camera shake.

Set the shutter speed so that the aperture display does not

blink.

If you press the shutter button halfway and change

the shutter speed while the aperture is displayed,

the aperture display will also change to maintain the

same exposure (amount of light reaching the image

sensor). If you exceed the adjustable aperture

range, the aperture display will blink to indicate that

the standard exposure cannot be obtained.

If the exposure will be too dark, the maximum aperture (lowest f/

number) will blink. If this happens, turn the <6> dial to the left to

set a slower shutter speed or increase the ISO speed.

If the exposure will be too bright, the minimum aperture (highest f/

number) will blink. If this happens, turn the <6> dial to the right to

set a faster shutter speed or decrease the ISO speed.

To obtain the correct flash exposure, the flash output will be set

automatically (autoflash exposure) to match the automatically-set

aperture. The shutter speed can be set from 1/200 sec. to 30 sec.

To blur the background or to make everything near and far look sharp,

set the Mode Dial to <f> (Aperture-priority AE) to adjust the depth of

field (range of acceptable focus).

*<f> stands for Aperture value, which is the size of the diaphragm hole inside

the lens.

1Set the Mode Dial to <f>.

2Set the desired aperture.

The higher the f/number, the wider

the depth of field where sharper focus

is obtained in both the foreground

and background.

Turning the <6> dial to the right will

set a higher f/number (smaller

aperture opening), and turning it to

the left will set a lower f/number

(larger aperture opening).

3Take the picture.

Focus and press the shutter button

completely. The picture will be taken

with the selected aperture.

The higher the f/number, the smaller the aperture opening will be. The

f/number displayed will differ depending on the lens. If no lens is attached to

the camera, “00” will be displayed for the aperture.

111

f: Changing the Depth of Field

When using an aperture with a high f/number or shooting in low

light scenes, note that camera shake can occur.

A higher aperture f/number will make the shutter speed slower.

Under low light, the shutter speed can be as long as 30 sec. In such

cases, increase the ISO speed and hold the camera steady or use a

tripod.

The depth of field depends not only on the aperture, but also on

the lens and on the subject distance.

Since wide-angle lenses have a wide depth of field (range of

acceptable focus in front of and behind the point of focus), you need

not set a high aperture f/number to obtain a sharp picture from the

foreground to the background. On the other hand, a telephoto lens

has a narrow depth of field.

And the closer the subject, the narrower the depth of field. A farther

subject will have a wider depth of field.

Set the aperture so that the shutter speed display does not

blink.

If you press the shutter button halfway and change

the aperture while the shutter speed is displayed,

the shutter speed display will also change to

maintain the same exposure (amount of light

reaching the image sensor). If you exceed the

adjustable shutter speed range, the shutter speed

display will blink to indicate that the standard

exposure cannot be obtained.

If the picture will be too dark, the “30"” (30 sec.) shutter speed

display will blink. If this happens, turn the <6> dial to the left to set

a lower f/number or increase the ISO speed.

If the picture will be too bright, the “4000” (1/4000 sec.) shutter

speed display will blink. If this happens, turn the <6> dial to the

right to set a higher f/number or decrease the ISO speed.

To obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be set

automatically to match the set aperture (autoflash exposure). The

shutter speed will be set automatically between 1/200 sec. - 30 sec. to

suit the scene’s brightness.

In low light, the main subject is exposed with the auto flash metering,

and the background is exposed with a slow shutter speed set

automatically. Both the subject and background look properly exposed

with a touch of atmosphere (automatic slow-speed flash sync). If you

are handholding the camera, keep it steady to prevent camera shake.

Using a tripod is recommended.

To prevent a slow shutter speed, under [53: Custom Functions

(C.Fn)], set [3: Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to [1: 1/200-1/60sec.

auto] or [2: 1/200sec. (fixed)] (p.261).

The aperture opening (diaphragm) changes only at the moment when

the picture is taken. Otherwise, the aperture remains fully open.

Therefore, when you look at the scene through the viewfinder or on the

LCD monitor, the depth of field will look narrow. With the procedure

below, you can check the depth of field before taking the picture.

1Enable depth-of-field preview to be used.

Under [53: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], set [9: Assign SET

button] to [4: Depth-of-field preview] (p.266).

To obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be set

automatically (autoflash exposure) to match the manually-set aperture.

The shutter speed can be set from 1/200 sec. to 30 sec. or to bulb.

A bulb exposure keeps the shutter open

for as long as you hold down the shutter

button. It can be used to shoot fireworks

and other subjects requiring long

exposures.

In step 3 on the preceding page, turn the

<6> dial to the left to set <BULB>.

The elapsed exposure time will be

displayed on the LCD monitor.

I Using the Built-in Flash

BULB: Bulb Exposures

Elapsed exposure time

Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun

or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image

sensor or the camera’s internal components.

Since bulb exposures produce more noise than usual, the image may

look slightly grainy.

You can reduce the noise due to long exposures by setting [4: Long exp.

noise reduction] under [53: Custom Functions (C.Fn)] to [1: Auto] or

[2: On] (p.262).

If ISO Auto is set for a bulb exposure, the ISO speed will be fixed at ISO

800 (p.94).

For bulb exposures, using a tripod and a remote switch (sold separately,

p.271) is recommended.

q Evaluative metering

General-purpose metering mode suited even

for backlit subjects. The camera sets the

exposure automatically to suit the scene.

w Partial metering

Effective where there are much brighter lights

around the subject due to backlight, etc. The

gray area in the left figure is where the

brightness is metered to obtain the standard

exposure.

e Center-weighted average metering

The brightness is metered at the image center

and then averaged for the entire scene. This

metering mode is for advanced users.

q Changing the Metering ModeN

With q (Evaluative metering), the exposure setting will be locked when you

press the shutter button halfway and focus is achieved. In the w (Partial

metering) and e (Center-weighted average metering) modes, the

exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken. (Pressing the shutter

button halfway does not lock the exposure.)

116

Set exposure compensation if the exposure (without flash) does not

If you use the magnified view during Live View shooting, the peripheral

illumination correction will not be reflected in the image displayed on the

screen.

If the effect of the correction is not visible, magnify the image after

shooting and check it again.

Corrections can be applied even when an Extender or Life-size

Converter is attached.

If the correction data for the attached lens is not registered to the

camera, the result will be the same as when the correction is set to

[Disable].

The correction amount applied will be lower than the maximum

correction amount settable with Digital Photo Professional (EOS

software).

The correction amount will be less if the lens used does not have

distance information.

4Select [O (Custom)].

Press the <XB> button.

Select [O (Custom)], then press

<0>.

If the exposure obtained in step 1 differs greatly from the standard

exposure, a correct white balance may not be obtained.

In step 3, the following images cannot be selected: Images captured with

the Picture Style set to [Monochrome] (p.96), images processed with a

Creative filter, or images shot with another camera.

Instead of a white object, a gray chart or 18% gray reflector

(commercially-available) can produce a more accurate white balance.

The personal white balance registered with EOS Utility (EOS software,

p.314) will be registered under [O]. If you perform step 3, the data for

the registered personal white balance will be erased.

135

You can correct the white balance that is set. This adjustment will have

the same effect as using a commercially-available color temperature

conversion filter or color compensating filter. Each color can be

corrected to one of nine levels.

This function is for advanced users, particularly for those users who

understand the use of color temperature conversion and color

compensating filters and their effects.

1Select [WB Shift/Bkt.].

Under the [z2] tab, select [WB

Shift/Bkt.], then press <0>.

The WB correction/WB bracketing

screen will appear.

2Set the white balance correction.

Press the <S> cross keys to move

the “ ” mark to the desired position.



B is for blue, A for amber, M for

magenta, and G for green. The image’s

color balance will be adjusted toward

the color in the direction of the move.

On the right of the screen, “Shift”

indicates the direction and correction

amount, respectively.



Pressing the <

White Balance Correction

Sample setting: A2, G1

When the white balance is corrected, will be displayed in the

viewfinder and on the LCD monitor.

One level of the blue/amber correction is equivalent to approx. 5 mireds

of a color temperature conversion filter. (Mired: Measuring unit indicating

the density of a color temperature conversion filter.)

u Adjusting the Color Tone for the Light SourceN

136

With just one shot, three images with different color tones can be recorded

simultaneously. Based on the color temperature of the current white balance

setting, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bias or magenta/

green bias. This is called white balance bracketing (WB Bkt.). White balance

bracketing is possible up to ±3 levels in single-level increments.

Set the white balance bracketing

amount.

In step 2 for “White Balance

Correction”, when you turn the <6>

dial, the “ ” mark on the screen will

change to “ ” (3 points).

Turning the dial to the right sets the B/

A bracketing, and turning it to the left

sets the M/G bracketing.



On the right, “

” indicates the

bracketing direction and correction amount.



Pressing the <

> button will

cancel all the [

WB Shift/Bkt.

] settings.

Press <0> to exit the setting and

return to the menu.

Bracketing Sequence

The images will be bracketed in the following sequence: 1. Standard

white balance, 2. Blue (B) bias, and 3. Amber (A) bias, or 1. Standard

white balance, 2. Magenta (M) bias, and 3. Green (G) bias.

White Balance Auto Bracketing

B/A bias ±3 levels

During WB bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will be lower and the

number of possible shots will also decrease to approx. one-third the normal number.

You can also set white balance correction and AEB together with white

balance bracketing. If you set AEB in combination with white balance

bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded for a single shot.

Since three images are recorded for one shot, it takes longer to record

the image on the card.

During Live View shooting, the white balance icon will blink.

“Bkt.” stands for bracketing.

137

The range of reproducible colors is called “color space”. With this

camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or

Adobe RGB. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended.

In Basic Zone modes, sRGB is set automatically.

1Select [Color space].

Under the [z2] tab, select [Color

space], then press <0>.

2Set the desired color space.

Select [sRGB] or [Adobe RGB], then

press <0>.

This color space is mainly used for commercial printing and other

industrial uses. This setting is not recommended if you are not familiar

with image processing, Adobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File

System 2.0 (Exif 2.21 or higher). The image will look very subdued in a

sRGB computer environment and with printers not compliant to Design

rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21 or higher). Post-processing

of the image with computer software will therefore be required.

Setting the Color Reproduction Range

Adobe RGB

If the captured still photo was shot in the Adobe RGB color space, the

first character in the file name will be an underscore “_”.

The ICC profile is not appended. For explanations about the ICC profile,

refer to the Digital Photo Professional Instruction Manual.

Shooting with the LCD Monitor

(Live View Shooting)

You can shoot while viewing the picture on the camera’s

LCD monitor. This is called “Live View shooting”.

Live View shooting is effective for still subjects which do

not move.

If you handhold the camera and shoot while viewing the

LCD monitor, camera shake can cause blurred images.

Using a tripod is recommended.

Remote Live View Shooting

With EOS Utility (EOS software, p.314) installed on your computer,

you can connect the camera to the computer and shoot remotely

while viewing the computer screen. For details, refer to the EOS

Utility Instruction Manual.

General Live View Shooting Cautions

Image Quality

When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (such as dots of light and

banding) may become noticeable.

Shooting in high temperatures may cause noise and irregular colors in

the image.

If Live View shooting is used continuously for a prolonged period, the

camera’s internal temperature may rise, and image quality may

deteriorate. Always exit Live View shooting when you are not shooting.

If you shoot a long exposure while the camera’s internal temperature is

high, image quality may deteriorate. Exit Live View shooting and wait a

few minutes before shooting again.

White <s> and Red <E> Internal Temperature Warning Icons

If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged Live

View shooting or under a high ambient temperature, a white <s> or red

<E> icon will appear.

The white <s> icon indicates that the image quality of still photos will

deteriorate. It is recommended that you temporarily exit Live View

shooting and allow the camera to cool down before shooting again.

The red <E> icon indicates that the Live View shooting will soon stop

automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the

camera’s internal temperature decreases. Exit the Live View shooting or

turn off the power and let the camera rest for a while.

Using Live View shooting at a high temperature for a prolonged period

will cause the <s> or <E> icon to appear earlier. When you are not

shooting, always turn off the camera.

If the camera’s internal temperature is high, the quality of images shot

with high ISO speed or long exposure may deteriorate even before the

white <s> icon is displayed.

Shooting Results

If you take the picture in magnified view, the exposure may not come out

as desired. Return to the normal view before taking the picture. In

magnified view, the shutter speed and aperture will be displayed in

the normal veiw will be captured.

If you use a TS-E lens (except the TS-E17mm f/4L or TS-E24mm f/3.5L

II) and shift or tilt the lens or use an Extension Tube, the standard

exposure may not be obtained or an irregular exposure may result.

General Live View Shooting Cautions

Live View Image

Under low- or bright-light conditions, the Live View image may not reflect

the brightness of the captured image.

Even if a low ISO speed is set, noise may be noticeable in the displayed

Live View image under low light. However, when you shoot, the image

recorded will have less noise. (The image quality of the Live View image

is different from that of the recorded image.)

If the light source (illumination) within the image changes, the screen

may flicker. If this happens, exit Live View shooting and resume Live

View shooting under the actual light source.

If you point the camera in a different direction, it may throw off the Live

View image’s correct brightness momentarily. Wait until the brightness

level stabilizes before shooting.

If there is a very bright light source in the image, the bright area may

appear black on the LCD monitor. However, the actual captured image

will correctly show the bright area.

In low light, if you set the [52: LCD brightness] to a bright setting, noise

or irregular colors may appear in the Live View image. However, the

noise or irregular colors will not be recorded in the captured image.

When you magnify the image, the image sharpness may look more

pronounced than in the actual image.

Custom Functions

During Live View shooting, some Custom Function settings will not take

effect (p.259).

Lens and Flash

During Live View shooting, focus preset for super telephoto lenses

cannot be used.

FE lock will not work when the built-in flash or an external Speedlite is

used. Modeling flash will not work if an external Speedlite is used.

Do not hold the camera in the same position for long periods of time.

Even if the camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same

body part may cause skin redness or blistering due to low-temperature

contact burns. Using a tripod is recommended for people with circulation

problems or very sensitive skin, or when using the camera in very hot

places.

Notes for Movie Shooting

Do not hold the camera in the same position for long periods of time.

Even if the camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same

body part may cause skin redness or blistering due to low-temperature

contact burns. Using a tripod is recommended for people with circulation

problems or very sensitive skin, or when using the camera in very hot

places.

When [k1: AF w/ shutter button during k] is set to [Enable]

(p.176), pressing the shutter button halfway during movie shooting will

perform autofocusing. However, the following may occur.

• Focus may become far off momentarily.

• The brightness of the recorded movie may change.

• The recorded movie may be momentarily still.

• The movie may record the lens operation sound.

Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun

or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image

sensor or the camera’s internal components.

If <Q> or <Qw> is set and the ISO speed or aperture changes during

movie shooting, the white balance may also change.

If you shoot a movie under fluorescent or LED lighting, the movie may

flicker.

Shooting a few test movies is recommended where you will perform

zooming during movie shooting. Zooming during movie shooting may

result in recording of changes in exposure or mechanical sound of the

lens, or images may be out of focus.

During movie shooting, you cannot magnify the image even if you press

the button.

If you connect or disconnect the HDMI cable during movie shooting, the

movie shooting will end.

Be careful not to cover the built-in microphone (p.160) with your finger,

etc.

General Movie Shooting Cautions

Red <E> Internal Temperature Warning Icon

If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged movie

shooting or under a high ambient temperature, a red <E> icon will

appear.

The red <E> icon indicates that movie shooting will soon be terminated

automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the

camera’s internal temperature decreases. Turn off the power and let the

camera rest for a while.

Shooting a movie at a high temperature for a prolonged period will cause

the <E> icon to appear earlier. When you are not shooting, always turn

off the camera.

Recording and Image Quality

If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer and you set the Image

Stabilizer (IS) switch to <1>, the Image Stabilizer will operate at all

times even if you do not press the shutter button halfway. The Image

Stabilizer consumes battery power and may shorten the total movie

shooting time. If you use a tripod or if the Image Stabilizer is not

necessary, it is recommended to set the IS switch to <2>.

The camera’s built-in microphone will also pick up camera operation

sound.

If the brightness changes during autoexposure movie shooting, the

movie may freeze temporarily. In such cases, shoot movies with manual

exposure.

If there is a very bright light source in the image, the bright area may

appear black on the LCD monitor. The movie will be recorded almost

exactly as it appears on the LCD monitor.

In low light, noise or irregular colors may appear in the image. The movie

will be recorded almost exactly as it appears on the LCD monitor.

182

General Movie Shooting Cautions

Recording and Image Quality

If you use a card with a slow writing speed, a five-level

indicator may appear on the right of the screen during movie

shooting. It indicates how much data has not yet been

written to the card (remaining capacity of the internal buffer

memory). The slower the card, the faster the indicator will

climb upward. If the indicator becomes full, movie shooting

will stop automatically.

If the card has a fast writing speed, the indicator will either

not appear or the level (if displayed) will hardly go upward.

First, shoot a few test movies to see if the card can write fast enough.

Playback and TV Connection

If you connect the camera to a TV set with an HDMI cable (p.226) and

shoot a movie at [1920x1080] or [1280x720], the movie being shot will

be displayed in a small size on the TV set. The movie will still be

recorded in the movie-recording size that was set.

If you connect the camera to a TV set (p.226) and shoot a movie, the TV

set will not output any sound during the shooting. However, the sound

will be properly recorded.

The folder where the captured

images will be saved is selected.

Subsequent captured images will be

recorded into the selected folder.

Folders

As with “100CANON” for example, the folder name starts with three digits

(the folder number) followed by five alphanumeric characters. A folder can

contain up to 9999 images (file number 0001 - 9999). When a folder

becomes full, a new folder with the folder number increased by one is

created automatically. Also, if manual reset (p.189) is executed, a new

folder will be created automatically. Folders numbered from 100 to 999 can

be created.

Creating Folders with a Computer

With the card open on the screen, create a new folder named “DCIM”. Open

the DCIM folder and create as many folders as necessary to save and

organize your images. The folder name must follow the format

“100ABC_D”. The first three digits are the folder number, from 100 to 999.

The last five characters can be any combination of upper- and lower-case

letters from A to Z, numerals, and the underscore “_”. The space cannot be

used. Also note that two folder names cannot share the same three-digit

folder number (for example, “100ABC_D” and “100W_XYZ”), even if the last

five characters in each name are different.

Handy Features

188

The image files will be numbered from 0001 to 9999 in the order the

images are taken, then saved in a folder. You can change how the file

number is assigned.

The file number will appear on your computer in this format:

IMG_0001.JPG.

Under the [51] tab, select [File

numbering], then press <0>. The

available settings are described below.

Select the option, then press <0>.

[Continuous]: The file numbering continues in sequence even

after you replace the card or create a folder.

Even after you replace the card or create a new folder, the file

numbering continues in sequence up to 9999. This is useful when

you want to save images numbered anywhere between 0001 to

9999 on multiple cards or in multiple folders into one folder on a

computer.

If the replacement card or existing folder already contains images

recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images may

continue from the file numbering of the existing images on the card

or in the folder. If you want to use continuous file numbering, it is

recommended that you use a newly-formatted card each time.

[Auto reset]: The file numbering restarts from 0001 each time

the card is replaced or a new folder is created.

When you replace the card or create a folder, the file numbering

restarts from 0001 for the new images saved. This is useful if you

want to organize images by cards or folders.

If the replacement card or existing folder already contains images

recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images may

continue from the file numbering of the existing images on the card

or in the folder. If you want to save images with the file numbering

starting from 0001, use a newly formatted card each time.

[Manual reset]: To reset the file numbering to 0001 manually or

to start from file number 0001 in a new folder.

When you reset the file numbering manually, a new folder is created

automatically and the file numbering of images saved to that folder

starts from 0001.

This is useful, for example, when you want to use different folders for

the images taken yesterday and the ones taken today. After the

manual reset, the file numbering returns to continuous or auto reset.

(There will be no manual reset confirmation dialog.)

Cautions for Radio Transmission Wireless Flash Shooting

• Radio transmission wireless flash shooting cannot be set with the

camera. Use the Speedlite to set the function.

• Set flash sync speed to 1/100 or less.

• High-speed synchronization is not possible.

• Group flash is not possible.

The camera may not be able to set some of the functions of [Flash

mode], [Zoom], and [MULTI flash], depending on the Speedlite model

used. In such a case, use the Speedlite to set the functions.

3 Setting the FlashN

200

Flash mode

When using an external Speedlite, you can select the flash mode to

suit your desired flash shooting.

[E-TTL II] is the standard mode of

EX-series Speedlites for automatic

flash shooting.

[Manual flash] enables you to set the

flash output yourself. This is for

advanced users.

Regarding other flash modes, refer to

the instruction manual of a Speedlite

compatible with the functions.

Shutter synchronization

Normally, set this to [1st curtain] so that the flash fires immediately

after the exposure starts.

If [2nd curtain] is set, the flash will fire right before the shutter

closes. When this is combined with a slow shutter speed, you can

create a trail of light such as from car headlights at night with a more

natural feel. With E-TTL II (auto flash exposure), the flash will be

fired twice in a row: once when you press the shutter button

completely and once right before the end of the exposure. Also, if

the shutter speed is 1/30 sec. or faster, first-curtain synchronization

will be applied automatically.

If an external Speedlite is attached, you can also select [High-speed

synchronization] (e). For details, refer to the Speedlite’s

instruction manual.

Flash exposure compensation

See “Flash Exposure Compensation” on page 117.

E-TTL II flash metering

For normal flash exposures, set it to [Evaluative]. [Average] is for

advanced users. As with an external Speedlite, the metering is

averaged for the entire area. Depending on the scene, flash

exposure compensation may be necessary.

While cleaning the sensor, never do any of the following. If the

power is cut off, the shutter will close and the shutter curtains and

image sensor may get damaged.

• Setting the power switch to <2>.

• Opening the card slot/battery compartment cover.

The surface of the image sensor is extremely delicate. Clean the sensor

with care.

Use a plain blower without any brush attached. A brush can scratch the

sensor.

Do not insert the blower tip inside the camera beyond the lens mount. If

the power is turned off, the shutter will close and the shutter curtains or

reflex mirror may get damaged.

Never use pressurized air or gas to clean the sensor. Pressurized air

may damage the sensor, and sprayed gas may freeze on the sensor and

scratch it.

If the battery level becomes low while cleaning the sensor, the beeper

will sound as a warning. Stop cleaning the sensor.

If a smudge that cannot be removed with a blower remains, having the

sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is recommended.

You can play back movies in the following three ways:

An HDMI cable (sold separately) is

necessary to connect the camera to a

TV set. Also, an HDMI terminal on a

TV set is required.

When the camera is connected to a TV

set with an HDMI cable, you can play

back movies and still photos on the TV

set.

If you have a High-Definition TV set and

connect your camera with an HDMI

cable, you can watch Full High-Definition

(Full HD: 1920x1080) and High-

Definition (HD: 1280x720) movies with

higher image quality.

Playback on a TV Set (p.226)

The camera does not have an audio/video OUT terminal. Therefore, the

camera cannot be connected to a TV set with an analog AV cable.

Since hard disk recorders do not have an HDMI IN terminal, the camera

cannot be connected to a hard disk recorder with an HDMI cable.

Even if the camera is connected to a hard disk recorder with a USB

cable, movies and still photos cannot be played back or saved.

If the playback device is not compatible with MOV files, the movie cannot

be played back.

k Enjoying Movies

You can play back movies on the

camera’s LCD monitor. You can also edit

out the movie’s first and last scenes, and

play back the still photos and movies on

the card in an automatic slide show.

To play back or edit a movie, use pre-

installed or general-purpose software,

compatible with the movie’s recording

format.

[Brightness] Display

This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of

the image’s brightness level. The horizontal axis

indicates the brightness level (darker on the left and

brighter on the right), while the vertical axis indicates

how many pixels exist for each brightness level. The

more pixels there are toward the left, the darker the

image. The more pixels there are toward the right,

the brighter the image. If there are too many pixels

on the left, the shadow detail will be lost. If there are

too many pixels on the right, the highlight detail will

be lost. The gradation in-between will be reproduced.

By checking the image and its brightness histogram,

you can see the exposure level inclination and the overall gradation.

[RGB] Display

This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of each primary

color’s brightness level in the image (RGB or red, green, and blue).

The horizontal axis indicates the color’s brightness level (darker on

the left and brighter on the right), while the vertical axis indicates how

many pixels exist for each color brightness level. The more pixels

there are toward the left, the darker and less prominent the color. The

more pixels there are toward the right, the brighter and denser the

color. If there are too many pixels on the left, the respective color

information will be lacking. If there are too many pixels on the right,

the color will be too saturated with no gradation. By checking the

image’s RGB histogram, you can see the color’s saturation and

gradation condition, as well as white balance inclination.

C.Fn-1 Exposure level increments

0: 1/3-stop

1: 1/2-stop

Sets 1/2-stop increments for the shutter speed, aperture, exposure

compensation, AEB, flash exposure compensation, etc. This is

effective when you prefer to control the exposure in less fine

increments than 1/3-stop increments.

C.Fn-2 ISO expansion

C.Fn-3 Flash Synchronization Speed in Av Mode

You can set the flash-sync speed for flash photography in the

aperture-priority AE <f> mode.

0: Auto

The flash sync speed is set automatically within a range of 1/200

sec. to 30 sec. to suit the scene’s brightness. With an external

Speedlite, high-speed sync will also be possible.

1: 1/200-1/60 sec. auto

Prevents a slow shutter speed from being set in low-light

conditions. It is effective for preventing subject blur and camera

shake. However, while the subject will be properly exposed with

the flash, the background may come out dark.

2: 1/200 sec. (fixed)

The flash-sync speed is fixed at 1/200 sec. This more effectively

prevents subject blur and camera shake than with [1: 1/200-1/

60sec. auto]. However, in low light, the subject’s background will

come out darker than with [1: 1/200-1/60sec. auto].

When 1 or 2 is set, high-speed sync cannot be used with an external

Speedlite.

[Auto] setting is effective in most cases.

2: On

Noise reduction is performed for all exposures of 1 sec. or longer.

The [2: On] setting may reduce noise that cannot be detected with

the [1: Auto] setting.

With settings 1 and 2, after the picture is taken, the noise reduction

process may take the same amount of time as the exposure. You cannot

take another picture until the noise reduction process is completed.

At ISO 1600 or higher, noise may be more pronounced with setting 2

than with setting 0 or 1.

With setting 1 or 2, if a long exposure is shot with the Live View image

displayed, “BUSY” will be displayed during the noise reduction process.

The Live View display will not appear until the noise reduction is

completed. (You cannot take another picture.)

263

3 Custom Function SettingsN

C.Fn-5 High ISO speed noise reduction

This function reduces the noise generated in the image. Although

noise reduction is applied at all ISO speeds, it is particularly effective

at high ISO speeds. At low ISO speeds, the noise in the darker parts of

the image (shadow areas) is further reduced. Change the setting to

suit the noise level.

0: Standard 2: Strong

1: Low 3: Disable

C.Fn-6 Highlight tone priority

0: Disable

1: Enable

Improves the highlight detail. The dynamic range is expanded from

the standard 18% gray to bright highlights. The gradation between

the grays and highlights becomes smoother.

With setting 2, the maximum burst during continuous shooting will greatly

decrease. Also, the continuous shooting speed may be slower.

If you play back or directly print a 1 or 1+73 image with the

camera, the high ISO speed noise reduction effect may become smaller.

Check the noise reduction effect or print noise-reduced images with

Digital Photo Professional (EOS software, p.314).

If you send RAW images to a smartphone, the high ISO speed noise

reduction effect of saved images on the smartphone may become

smaller. Therefore, if you shoot RAW images, setting the image-

recording quality to 1+73 is recommended.

With setting 1, the Auto Lighting Optimizer (p.123) is automatically set to

[Disable] and the setting cannot be changed.

With setting 1, noise (grainy image, banding, etc.) may become slightly

more noticeable than with setting 0.

With setting 1, the ISO setting range will be ISO 200 - ISO 6400.

Also, the <A> icon will be displayed on the LCD monitor and in the

viewfinder to indicate that highlight tone priority is enabled.

C.Fn III: Autofocus/Drive

C.Fn-7 AF-assist beam firing

Enables or disables the built-in flash’s AF-assist beam or the EOS-

dedicated external Speedlite’s AF-assist beam.

0: Enable

The AF-assist beam will be emitted when necessary.

1: Disable

The AF-assist beam will not be emitted. This prevents the AF-

assist beam from disturbing others.

2: Enable external flash only

If an external Speedlite is attached, it will emit the AF-assist beam

when necessary. The camera’s built-in flash will not fire the AF-

assist beam.

3: IR AF assist beam only

When an external Speedlite is attached, only the infrared AF-assist

beam will be emitted. This prevents any Speedlite which uses a

series of intermittent flashes (like the built-in flash) from emitting

the AF-assist beam.

With an EX-series Speedlite equipped with an LED light, the LED

light will not automatically turn on for AF-assist.

If an external Speedlite’s [AF-assist beam firing] Custom Function is set

to [Disabled], the Speedlite will not emit the AF-assist beam even if the

through the viewfinder, stray light entering the viewfinder can cause the

picture to look dark. To prevent this, use the eyepiece cover (p.33)

attached to the camera strap.

During Live View shooting and movie shooting, attaching the

eyepiece cover is unnecessary.

1Detach the eyecup.

Push the bottom of the eyecup to

detach it.

2Attach the eyepiece cover.

Slide the eyepiece cover down into

the eyepiece groove to attach it.

After you finish shooting, detach the

eyepiece cover and attach the

eyecup by sliding it down into the

eyepiece groove.

Basically operates like a built-in flash for easy operation.

When an EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) is attached to the

camera, almost all the autoflash control is done by the camera. In other

words, it is like a high-output flash attached externally in place of the

built-in flash.

For detailed instructions, refer to the EX-series Speedlite’s

instruction manual. This camera is a Type-A camera.

External Speedlites

EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlites

Shoe-mount Speedlites Macro Lites

With an EX-series Speedlite not compatible with flash function settings

(p.199), only [Flash exp. comp] and [E-TTL II meter.] can be set for

[External flash func. setting]. ([Shutter sync.] can also be set with

certain EX-series Speedlites.)

If flash exposure compensation is set with the external Speedlite, the

flash exposure compensation icon displayed on the camera’s LCD

monitor will change from y to 0.

If the external Speedlite’s Custom Function has the flash metering mode

set to TTL autoflash, the flash will fire at full output only.

273

External Speedlites

With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set in TTL or A-TTL

autoflash mode, the flash will be fired at full output only.

Set the camera’s shooting mode to <a> (manual exposure) or

<f> (aperture-priority AE) and adjust the aperture setting before

shooting.

When using a Speedlite that has manual flash mode, shoot in the

manual flash mode.

Sync Speed

The camera can synchronize with compact, non-Canon flash units at

1/200 sec. or slower shutter speeds. Use a sync speed slower than

1/200 sec.

Be sure to test the flash unit beforehand to make sure it synchronizes

properly with the camera.

Canon Speedlites Other Than the EX-series

Using Non-Canon Flash Units

If the camera is used with a flash unit or flash accessory dedicated to

another camera brand, the camera may not operate properly and

malfunction may result.

Do not attach a high-voltage flash unit on the camera’s hot shoe. It may

not fire.

274

With a commercially-available Eye-Fi card already set up, you can

automatically transfer captured images to a computer or upload them to

an online service via a wireless LAN.

The image transfer is a function of the Eye-Fi card. For instructions on

how to set up and use the Eye-Fi card or to troubleshoot any image

transfer problems, refer to the Eye-Fi card’s instruction manual or

contact the card manufacturer.

The camera is not guaranteed to support Eye-Fi card functions

(including wireless transfer). In case of a problem with an Eye-

Fi card, please check with the card manufacturer. Also note that

approval is required to use Eye-Fi cards in many countries or

regions. Without approval, use of the card is not permitted. If it

is unclear whether the card has been approved for use in your

area, please check with the card manufacturer.

Cautions for Using Eye-Fi Cards

If [53:Wi-Fi/NFC] is set to [Enable], image transfer with an Eye-Fi card

is not possible.

If “J” is displayed, an error occurred while retrieving the card

information. Turn the camera’s power switch off and on again.

Even if [51: Eye-Fi trans.] is set to [Disable], it may still transmit a

signal. In hospitals, airports, and other places where wireless

transmissions are prohibited, remove the Eye-Fi card from the camera.

If the image transfer does not function, check the Eye-Fi card and

computer settings. For details, refer to the card’s instruction manual.

Depending on the wireless LAN’s connection conditions, the image

transfer may take longer or it may be interrupted.

The Eye-Fi card may become hot as it transmits.

The battery power will be consumed faster.

During the image transfer, auto power off will not take effect.

If you insert a wireless LAN card other than an Eye-Fi card, [51: Eye-Fi

settings] will not appear. Also, the transmission status icon <H> will not

appear.

Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.36).

Slide the card’s write-protect switch to the write/erase position (p.36).

If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to

make space (p.36, 230).

If you try to focus in the One-Shot AF mode and the focus indicator

<o> in the viewfinder blinks, a picture cannot be taken. Press the

shutter button halfway again to refocus automatically, or focus

289

Troubleshooting Guide

Horizontal stripes (noise) or irregular exposures can be caused by

fluorescent lighting, LED lighting, or other light sources during

viewfinder or Live View shooting. Also, the exposure or color tone may

not come out right. A slow shutter speed may solve the problem.

During viewfinder shooting or Live View shooting, if you use a TS-E

lens (except the TS-E17mm f/4L or TS-E24mm f/3.5L II) and shift or tilt

the lens or use an Extension Tube, the standard exposure may not be

obtained or the exposure may be irregular.

Depending on the lens type, shutter speed, aperture, subject

conditions, brightness, etc., the continuous shooting speed may

become slower.

Under [53: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], set [5: High ISO speed

noise reduct’n] to [0: Standard], [1: Low], or [3: Disable]. If it is set to

[2: Strong], the maximum burst during continuous shooting will greatly

decrease (p.263).

During WB bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will

decrease (p.136).

If you shoot something that has fine detail such as a field of grass, the

file size will be larger, and the actual maximum burst may be lower

than the number mentioned on page 89.

Horizontal stripes appear, or the exposure

or color tone look strange.

The standard exposure cannot be obtained or the

exposure is irregular.

The continuous shooting speed is slow.

The maximum burst during continuous shooting is lower.

Under [53: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [6: Highlight tone priority]

is set to [1: Enable], ISO 100 cannot be set. If [0: Disable] is set, ISO

100 can be set (p.263). This also applies to movie shooting (p.177).

Under [53: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [6: Highlight tone priority]

is set to [1: Enable], the [H] ISO speed (equivalent to ISO 12800)

cannot be selected even when [2: ISO expansion] is set to [1: On]. If

Set [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer] to [Disable]. When [Low],

[Standard], or [High] is set, even if you set a decreased exposure

compensation or flash exposure compensation, the image may come

out bright (p.123).

ISO 100 cannot be set.

291

Troubleshooting Guide

If you shoot at night when the background is dark, the shutter speed

automatically becomes slow (slow-sync shooting) so that both the

subject and background are properly exposed. To prevent a slow

shutter speed, under [53: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], set [3: Flash

sync. speed in Av mode] to [1: 1/200-1/60sec. auto] or [2: 1/200sec.

(fixed)] (p.261).

In shooting modes (<A> <C> <2> <4> <6>) whose default

setting is <a> (built-in flash auto firing), the built-in flash will be raised

automatically when necessary.

If you use the built-in flash too often in too short a period of time, the

flash may stop firing for a while to protect the light-emitting unit.

If you use a flash unit other than an EX-series Speedlite, the flash will

always be fired at full output (p.273).

Under [z1: Flash control], if [Flash metering mode] in [External

flash C.Fn setting] is set to [TTL], the flash will always fire at full

output (p.201).

If flash exposure compensation is set with the external Speedlite, flash

exposure compensation cannot be set with the camera. When the

external Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation is canceled (set to

0), flash exposure compensation can be set with the camera.

When I use the <f> mode with flash, the shutter

speed becomes slow.

The built-in flash rises by itself.

The built-in flash does not fire.

The external flash always fires at full output.

Flash exposure compensation cannot be set for

the external Speedlite.

Troubleshooting Guide

292

Under [53: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], set [3: Flash sync. speed in

Av mode] to [0: Auto] (p.261).

The built-in flash’s pop-up mechanism moves slightly. This is normal

and not a malfunction.

If you use flash, the shutter will make two sounds each time you shoot

(p.141).

It indicates that the camera’s internal temperature is high. If the white

<s> icon is displayed, the still photo’s image quality may deteriorate.

If the red <E> icon is displayed, it indicates that the Live View

shooting will soon stop automatically (p.157).

It indicates that the camera’s internal temperature is high. If the red

<E> icon is displayed, it indicates that the movie shooting will soon

stop automatically (p.181).

If the card’s writing speed is slow, movie shooting may stop

automatically. Use an SD Speed Class 6 “ ” or faster card. To

find out the card’s reading/writing speed, refer to the card

manufacturer’s Web site, etc.

If a movie clip’s file size reaches 4 GB or the shooting length reaches

29 min. 59 sec., the movie shooting will stop automatically.

High-speed sync cannot be set in the <f> mode.

The camera makes a noise when it is shaken.

The shutter makes two shooting sounds during Live View shooting.

During Live View shooting, a white <s> or red

<E> icon is displayed.

During movie shooting, a red E icon is displayed.

Movie shooting stops by itself.

293

Troubleshooting Guide

If [k1: Movie exposure] is set to [Auto], the ISO speed will be set

automatically. If [Manual] is set, you can set the ISO speed manually

(p.162).

If you change the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting, the

changes in the exposure may be recorded.

Zooming the lens during movie shooting can cause changes in the

exposure regardless of whether the lens’s maximum aperture changes

or not. The changes in the exposure may be recorded as a result.

If you move the camera to the left or right quickly (high-speed panning)

or shoot a moving subject, the image may look distorted.

Flickering, horizontal stripes (noise), or irregular exposures can be

caused by fluorescent lighting, LED lighting, or other light sources

during movie shooting. Also, changes in the exposure (brightness) or
