Safety Warnings
Follow these safeguards and use the equipment properly to prevent injury, death,
and material damage.
Preventing Serious Injury or Death
• To prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, and explosions, follow the
safeguards below:
- Do not use any batteries, power sources, and accessories not specified in this
booklet. Do not use any home-made or modified batteries.
- Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery pack or back-up battery. Do
not apply heat or apply solder to the battery pack or back-up battery. Do not expose
the battery pack or back-up battery to fire or water. And do not subject the battery
pack or back-up battery to strong physical shock.
- Do not install the battery pack or back-up battery in reversed polarity (+ –). Do not
mix new and old or different types of batteries.
- Do not recharge the battery pack outside the allowable ambient temperature range
of 0°C - 40°C (32°F - 104°F). Also, do not exceed the recharging time.
- Do not insert any foreign metallic objects into the electrical contacts of the camera,
accessories, connecting cables, etc.
• Keep the back-up battery away from children. If a child swallows the battery, consult a
physician immediately. (Battery chemicals may harm the stomach and intestines.)
• When disposing of a battery pack or back-up battery, insulate the electrical contacts
with tape to prevent contact with other metallic objects or batteries. This is to prevent
fire or an explosion.
• If excessive heat, smoke, or fumes are emitted during battery pack recharging,
immediately unplug the battery charger from the power outlet to stop the recharging
and prevent a fire.
• If the battery pack or back-up battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or
fumes, remove it immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process.
• Prevent any battery leakage from contacting your eyes, skin, and clothing. It can
cause blindness or skin problems. If the battery leakage contacts your eyes, skin, or
clothing, flush the affected area with lots of clean water without rubbing it. See a
physician immediately.
• During the recharging, keep the equipment away from the reach of children. The cord
can accidentally choke the child or give an electrical shock.
• 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 fire the flash at someone driving a car. It may cause an accident.
• Do not fire the flash near a person’s eyes. It may impair the person’s vision. When
using flash to photograph an infant, keep at least 1 meter away.
• Before storing the camera or accessory when not in use, remove the battery pack and
disconnect the power plug. This is to prevent electrical shock, heat generation, and
fire.
• Do not use the equipment where there is flammable gas. This is to prevent an
explosion or fire.
9
• If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts, do
not touch the internal parts due to the possibility of 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 the camera from the reach of small children. The neck strap can accidentally
choke the child.
• Do not store the equipment in dusty or humid places. This is to prevent fire and
electrical shock.
• 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 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 insulation has been damaged.
• Occasionally unplug the power plug and use a dry cloth to clean off the dust around
the power outlet. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power outlet
may become moist and short-circuit the outlet to cause a fire.
Preventing Injury or Equipment Damage
• Do not leave equipment inside a car under the hot sun or near a heat source. The
equipment may become hot and cause skin burns.
• Do not carry the camera around while it is attached to a tripod. Doing so may cause
injury. Also make sure the tripod is sturdy enough to support the camera and lens.
• Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera under 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 battery-recharging apparatus with a cloth. Doing so may trap
heat within and cause the casing to deform or catch fire.
• If you drop the camera in water or if water or metal fragments enter inside the camera,
promptly remove the battery pack and back-up battery. This is to prevent fire and
electrical shock.
• Do not use or leave the battery pack or back-up battery in a hot environment. Doing so
may cause battery leakage or a shorter battery life. The battery pack or back-up
battery can also become hot and cause skin burns.
• Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the equipment.
Doing so may cause fire or a health hazard.
If the product does not work properly or requires repair, contact
your dealer or your nearest Canon Service Center.
10
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 your nearest
Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the
camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe 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.
High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.
The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to
disassemble the camera yourself.
Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, mirror, and focusing
screen. Do not use cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean the
camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, take the camera to a Canon Service
Center.
Do not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your fingers. This is to
prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can 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.
If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid
damaging the camera. If this occurs, remove the lens, CF card and battery
from the camera, and wait until the 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 corrosive chemicals such as a
darkroom or chemical lab.
If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions
before using the camera. If you have not used the camera for some time or if
there is an important shoot coming up, have the camera checked by your
Canon dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working
properly.
Handling Precautions
11
Handling Precautions
LCD Panel and LCD Monitor
Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision
technology with over 99.99% active pixels, there might be a few dead pixels
among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying only black
or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded.
At low temperatures, the liquid-crystal display response may become slower.
And at high temperatures, the display may blacken. In either case, the
display will return to normal at room temperature.
CF Card
The CF card is a precision device. Do not drop the memory card or subject it
to vibration. Doing so could damage the images recorded on them.
Do not store or use a memory card near anything having a strong magnetic
field such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places prone to
having static electricity. Otherwise, the images recorded on the CF card
might be lost.
Do not leave memory cards in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Doing so
can warp the cards and make them unusable.
Do not spill any liquid onto the CF card.
Always store your CF cards in a case to protect the data stored on them.
Do not bend the card or subject it to any excessive force or physical shock.
Do not store CF cards in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
Lens Electrical Contacts
After detaching the lens from the camera, attach the lens
caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid
scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.

Do not recharge any battery pack other than Battery Pack BP-511A,
BP-514, BP-511, or BP-512.
If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period without the camera
being used, a low electrical current may be discharged excessively and the
battery’s service life may be affected. When not using the camera, remove
the battery and attach the protective cover to prevent shorting. Before
using the camera again, be sure to recharge the battery.
Storing the battery while fully charged may reduce its service life or performance.
Battery Packs BP-511A, BP-514, BP-511, and BP-512 are dedicated to
Canon products. Using them with a non-Canon battery charger or product
may result in malfunction or accidents for which Canon cannot be held liable.
Do not use the battery charger with any power transformer in foreign
countries. Doing so can cause malfunction.
After the red lamp lights, continue to recharge
the battery for an hour to attain a full charge.
Even a recharged, unused battery will gradually
drain its power. Recharge the battery on the day
before or on the day you plan to use it.
By referring to the marking, you can attach the protective cover to the
battery to indicate whether the battery has been recharged or not.
After recharging the battery, detach it and unplug the power cord from
the power outlet.
The time required to recharge the battery depends on the ambient
temperature and battery’s recharge level.
The battery pack can operate in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to
104°F). However, for full operating performance, using it between 10°C (50°F)
and 30°C (86°F) is recommended. In cold locations such as ski areas, battery
performance temporarily decreases and the operating time may be shorter.
If operating time is sharply reduced even after normal recharging, the battery
pack may have reached its service life. Replace it with a new battery.

3 Setting the Image-recording Quality
The number of possible shots and maximum burst (p.52) apply to a Canon
512MB CF card.
The single image size, number of possible shots, and maximum burst during continuous
shooting are based on Canon’s testing standards (ISO 100, Picture Style: [
Standard
]).
The actual single image size, number of possible shots, and maximum burst will vary
depending on the subject, shooting mode, ISO speed, Picture Style, etc.
In the case of monochrome images (p.53), the file size will be smaller so the
number of possible shots will be higher.
On the top LCD panel, you can check the remaining number of images the CF
card can record.
The RAW assumes that the image will undergo post-processing with a
personal computer. Special knowledge is required, but you can use the
bundled software to obtain the desired effect.
Image processing refers to adjusting the RAW image’s white balance,
contrast, etc., to create the desired image.
Note that direct printing and print ordering (DPOF) will not work with
RAW images.

The maximum burst during continuous shooting depends on the image-
recording quality. The approx. maximum burst during continuous
shooting is indicated below for each image-recording quality. Note that
with high-speed CF cards, the maximum burst may be higher than
shown in the table below depending on the shooting conditions
.
* Continuous shooting is possible until the CF card becomes full.
The number of shots remaining during the
maximum burst is displayed on the lower
right of the viewfinder.
If “9” is displayed, it indicates that the maximum burst is nine or more
shots. If “6” is displayed, it is six shots.
While you are shooting and the number of shots remaining in the
maximum burst is fewer than 9, the viewfinder will display “

The ISO speed is a numeric indication of the sensitivity to light. A higher
ISO speed number indicates a higher sensitivity to light. Therefore, a
high ISO speed is suited for low light and moving subjects. However,
the image may look more coarse with noise, etc. On the other hand, a
low ISO speed is not suited for low light or action shots, but the image
will look cleaner.
The camera can be set between ISO 100 and 1600 in 1/3-stop
increments.
In the <1> (Full Auto) mode, the ISO speed will be set automatically
within ISO 100-400.

The three RGB (red, green, and blue) primary colors exist in the light source in
varying proportions depending on the color temperature. When the color
temperature is high, there is more blue. And when the color temperature is low,
there is more red. To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of
the type of lighting. With a digital camera, the color temperature can be adjusted
with software so that the colors in the image look more natural. The subject’s
white color is used as the criteria for adjusting the other colors. The camera’s
<

When setting the color temperature for an artificial light source, set white
balance correction (magenta or green bias) as necessary.
If you want to set <P> to the reading taken with a color temperature
meter, take test shots and adjust the setting to compensate for the
difference between the color temperature meter’s reading and the
camera’s color temperature reading.
64
You can correct the standard color temperature for the white balance
setting. This adjustment will have the same effect as using a color
temperature conversion or color compensating filter. Each color can be
corrected to one of nine levels. Users familiar with using color temperature
conversion or color compensating filters will find this feature handy.

With just one shot, three images having a different color tone can be
recorded simultaneously. Based on the white balance mode’s standard
color temperature, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bias
or magenta/green bias. This is called white balance bracketing. It can
be set up to ±3 levels in single-level increments.

When B/A bracketing has been set, the
three images will be recorded onto the
CF card in the following sequence:
Standard WB, B (blue) bias, and A
(amber) bias. If M/G bracketing has
been set, the sequence will be
Standard WB, M (magenta) bias, and
G (green) bias.
In step 2, set “BKT” to “±0” (“ ” to

Canceling White Balance Auto Bracketing
With white balance bracketing, the maximum burst will be lower.
When white balance bracketing is set, the white balance icon will blink on
the LCD panel and the remaining shots will decrease to about 1/3.
Since three images are recorded for one shot, the CF card will take
longer to record the shot.
You can also set white balance correction and AEB shooting in
combination 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.
“BKT” stands for bracketing.
67
The color space refers to the range of reproducible colors. With this
camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or
Adobe RGB. For normal images, sRGB is recommended. In the <1>
(Full Auto) mode, sRGB will be set automatically.
1Select [Color space].
Turn the <5> dial to select [z
Color space], then press <0>.
2Set the desired color space.
Turn the <5> dial to select [sRGB]
or [Adobe RGB], then press <0>.
This is mainly used for commercial printing and other industrial uses.
This setting is not recommended if you do not know about image
processing, Adobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File System 2.0
(Exif 2.21).
Since the image will look very subdued with sRGB personal computers
and printers not compatible with Design rule for Camera File System
2.0 (Exif 2.21), post-processing of the image with software will be
required.

Selecting a Folder
You cannot select a folder to playback the images inside.
Creating Folders with a Personal Computer
With the memory 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 names must start with three digits from 100 to 999 followed by
five letters, like 100ABC_D. The five letters can be a combination of upper
or lower case letters from A to Z and an underscore. There can be no
spaces in the folder name. Also, if there are folder numbers with the same
three-digit number (regardless of the letters) such as “100ABC_C” and
“100ABC_D”, the camera will not recognize the folders.
70
The file number is like the frame number on a roll of film. It can start
counting in one of three different ways: [Continuous], [Auto reset], and
[Manual reset]. The images you take are automatically assigned a file
number from 0001 to 9999. The images are saved in the selected
folder.
1Select [File numbering].
Turn the <5> dial to select [c File
numbering], then press <0>.
2Select the file numbering method.
Turn the <5> dial to select
[Continuous], [Auto reset], or
[Manual reset], then press <0>.
The file numbering continues in sequence even after you replace the
CF card. This prevents images from having the same file number, so
image management with a personal computer is easier. Note that if the
replacement CF card already contains images captured with the
camera, the file numbering will start after the highest file number in that
CF card or after the last captured image’s file number, whichever is
higher.

3 File Numbering Methods
Each time you replace the CF card, the file numbering will be reset to
the first file number (0001). Since the file number starts from 0001 in
each CF card, you can organize images according to CF card. Note that
if the replacement CF card already contains images, the file numbering
will start after the highest file number in that CF card.
This creates a new folder automatically and resets the file number to
0001. Images captured thereafter are saved in this new folder. The file
numbering method (Auto reset or Continuous) that was in effect before
the manual reset will continue to take effect.

For both JPEG and RAW images, the file name will start with “IMG_”. The
extension will be “.JPG” for JPEG images and “.CR2” for RAW images.

Setting the AF, Metering,
and Drive Modes
The viewfinder has 9 AF points. By
selecting a suitable AF point, you
can shoot with autofocus while
framing the subject as desired. You
can also set the AF mode to suit the
subject or obtain the desired effect.
Evaluative, partial, spot, and
center-weighted average metering
modes are provided. Single,
continuous, and Self-timer drive
modes are provided. Select the
metering mode that suits the
subject or your photographic
intention.
The asterisk M appended on the right of the page title
indicates that the respective feature cannot be changed in
the <1> (Full Auto) mode.
The AF mode, AF point selection, metering mode, and drive
mode will be set automatically in the <1> (Full Auto)
mode.

The AF mode is the autofocusing operation method. Three AF modes
are provided. One-Shot AF is suited for still subjects, while AI Servo AF
is for moving subjects. And AI Focus AF switches from One-Shot AF to
AI Servo AF automatically if the still subject starts moving. In the <1>
(Full Auto) mode, AI Focus AF will be set automatically.

be set when focus is achieved. The
exposure setting and focus will be
locked as long as the shutter button is
pressed halfway. (p.79) You can then
recompose the shot while retaining the
exposure setting and point of focus.
While you press the shutter

* About Predictive AF
If the subject approaches or retreats from the camera at a constant rate,
the camera tracks the subject and predicts the focusing distance
immediately before the picture is taken. This is for obtaining correct
focus at the moment of exposure.
When the AF point selection is automatic,
first the center AF point will focus the
subject. Within the spot metering circle,
there are six invisible Assist AF points (
in diagram) that function in the AI SERVO
AF mode. So even if the subject moves
slightly away from the center AF point, the
camera can still continue focusing. If the
subject moves completely away from the
center AF point during focusing, the
adjacent AF point will continue focusing
the subject as long as it covers the subject.
With a manually selected AF point,
the selected AF point will focus track
the subject.
AI Focus AF switches the AF mode from
One-Shot AF to AI Servo AF
automatically if the still subject starts
moving.
After the subject is focused in the One-
Shot AF mode, if the subject starts
moving, the camera will detect the
movement and change the AF mode
automatically to AI Servo AF.
AI Focus AF for Automatic Switching of AF Mode
When focus is achieved in the AI Focus AF mode with the Servo mode
active, the beeper will sound softly. The focus confirmation light <o> in the
viewfinder will not light.
77
The AF point is used for focusing. The AF point can be selected
automatically by the camera or manually by you.
In the <1> (Full Auto) mode, automatic selection will be set.
The camera selects the AF point automatically according to the
shooting conditions. All the AF points in the viewfinder will light in
red.
You can select any of the nine AF points manually. This is best when
you want to focus on a particular subject, or autofocus quickly while
composing the shot.

The EOS 5D will execute high-precision AF with lenses whose
maximum aperture is f/2.8 or larger.
With lenses whose maximum aperture is f/2.8 or larger*
With the center AF point, high-precision, cross-type AF sensitive to both
vertical and horizontal lines is possible. With cross-type AF, vertical-line
detection is twice as sensitive as horizontal-line detection. The other
eight AF points are horizontal-line sensitive or vertical-line sensitive.
*
Except with the EF28-80mm f/2.8-4L USM and EF50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro lenses.
With lenses whose maximum aperture is larger than f/5.6

The spot metering circle has six invisible Assist AF
points (see left illustration) that function in the AI
SERVO AF mode. The Assist AF points have
the same vertical-line sensitivity as the center AF
point at f/2.8, and the Assist AF points have
horizontal-line sensitivity at f/5.6.

After achieving focus, you can lock the focus on a subject and
recompose the shot. This is called “focus lock.” Focus lock works only
in the One-Shot AF mode.
1Set the Mode Dial to any setting
except <1> (Full Auto).
2Select the desired AF point.

5Take the picture.
Focusing an Off-Center Subject
If the AF mode is AI Servo AF (or AI Focus AF set to Servo mode), focus
lock will not work.
80
Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (the focus confirmation light <o>
blinks) with certain subjects such as the following:
Subjects difficult to focus
(a) Low-contrast subjects
Example: Blue sky, solid-color walls, etc.
(b) Subjects in low light
(c) Extremely backlit and reflective subjects
Example: Car with a reflective body, etc.
(d) Overlapping near and far objects
Example: Animal in a cage, etc.
(e) Repetitive patterns
Example: Skyscraper windows, computer keyboards, etc.
In such cases, do one of the following:
(1) Focus an object at the same distance as the subject and lock the
focus before recomposing.
(2) Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually.
1On the lens, set the focus mode
switch to <MF>.
2Focus the subject.
Focus by turning the lens focusing
ring until the subject is in focus in the

In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically
sets the aperture value to suit the brightness of the subject. This is
called Shutter-Priority AE. A fast shutter speed can freeze the motion of
a fast-moving subject and a slow shutter speed can blur the subject to
give the impression of motion.

If the minimum aperture blinks, it indicates
overexposure. Turn the <6> dial to set a faster shutter
speed until the aperture value stops blinking or set a
lower ISO speed.
Shutter Speed Display
The shutter speeds from “8000” to “4” indicate the denominator of the
fractional shutter speed. For example, “125” indicates 1/125 sec. Also, “0"6”
indicates 0.6 sec. and “15"” is 15 sec.
88
In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed
automatically to suit the subject brightness. This is called aperture-priority AE.
A larger aperture opening (smaller f/number) will result in a blurred background
ideal for portraits. This occurs because a lower f/number decreases the depth of
field (range of acceptable focus). On the other hand, a smaller aperture opening
(larger f/number) will make more of the foreground and background fall within
acceptable focus. A smaller aperture opening increases the depth of field.

An EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlite makes flash photography as
easy as any AE mode. For details on using the EX-series Speedlite,
refer to the Speedlite’s instruction manual. The EOS 5D is a Type-A
camera compatible with all EX-series Speedlites providing the features
below.
• E-TTL II Autoflash
E-TTL II incorporates an improved flash exposure control and lens focusing
distance information, making it more precise than the previous E-TTL autoflash
exposure system (evaluative flash metering with preflash). The camera can
execute E-TTL II autoflash with any EX-series Speedlite.
• High-Speed Sync (FP flash)
High-speed sync (FP or focal-plane flash) enables flash synchronization with all
shutter speeds from 30 sec. to 1/8000 sec.
• FE (Flash Exposure) Lock
Press the camera’s <A> button to lock the flash exposure at the desired part
of the subject. This is the flash equivalent of AE lock.
Aim the center of the viewfinder over the part of the subject where you want to
obtain a correct exposure, then press the <A> button. During FE lock, <d>
will be displayed in the viewfinder.
• Flash Exposure Compensation
In the same way as normal exposure compensation, you can set exposure
compensation for flash. The flash exposure compensation amount can be set
with the camera up to ±2 stops in 1/3-stop increments. With Speedlites which
you can set the flash exposure compensation, it can be set up to ±3 stops in
1/3-stop increments.
• FEB (Flash Exposure Bracketing)
FEB is the flash version of AEB. (Only with FEB-compatible Speedlites.) Set
flash exposure bracketing up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments.
During FEB, <d> will blink in the viewfinder.

With EX-series Speedlites
If you use flash, you can set flash exposure compensation by holding down
the <Q> button and turning the <5> dial.

Flash Photography
• E-TTL II Wireless Autoflash with Multiple Speedlites
Like with wired, multiple Speedlites, E-TTL II wireless autoflash with multiple
Speedlites provides all the above features. Since connection cords are
unnecessary, flexible and sophisticated lighting setups are possible. (Only with
wireless-compatible Speedlites.)
With TTL and A-TTL autoflash Speedlites (EZ-, E-, EG-, ML-, TL-
series) set in the TTL or A-TTL autoflash mode, the flash will be fired
only at full output. If you set the camera’s shooting mode to manual
or aperture-priority AE, you can adjust the aperture and fire the flash
at full output. Meanwhile, the Speedlite will remain in the TTL or A-
TTL autoflash mode.
When the 580EX or 550EX is set to C.Fn-03-1, the flash will always
be fired at full output even in the TTL autoflash mode.
TTL and A-TTL Autoflash Speedlites
102
The EOS 5D can synchronize with compact, non-Canon flash units at 1/
200 sec. or slower shutter speeds. With large studio flash, the sync
speed is 1/125 sec. or slower. Be sure to test the flash to see if it
synchronizes properly with the camera.
The camera’s PC terminal is provided for flash units having a sync
cord. The PC terminal is threaded to prevent inadvertent
disconnection.
The camera’s PC terminal has no polarity so you can connect any
sync cord regardless of its polarity.
Using Non-Canon Flash Units
Sync Speed
PC Terminal
If the camera is used with a flash unit (with dedicated flash contacts) or
flash accessory dedicated to another camera brand, the camera may not
operate properly and camera malfunction may result. Also, do not
connect to the camera’s PC terminal any flash unit requiring 250 V or
higher voltage.
Do not attach a high voltage flash unit on the camera’s hot shoe. It might
not work.
A Speedlite attached to the camera’s hot shoe and a flash unit connected to
the PC terminal can be used at the same time.

On the menu’s [x Histogram] setting, you can select [Bright.] or
[RGB].
[Bright.] 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. And 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. And if there are too many pixels
on the right, the highlight detail will be lost. The
tones in-between will be reproduced.
By checking the image’s brightness histogram, you can see the
exposure level bias and the overall tone reproduction condition.
[RGB] Display
This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of the image’s
brightness level of each primary color (RGB or red, blue, and green).
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. And 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. And if there are too many pixels on the right, the color
will be too saturated with no detail.
By checking the image’s RGB histogram, you can see the color’s
saturation and gradation condition and white balance bias.

The CF card’s capacity displayed on the formatting screen may be lower
than the capacity indicated on the card.
Handling “Err CF”
If “Err CF” (CF error) is displayed on the LCD panel, it indicates that a
problem with the CF card is preventing the image data from being recorded
or read. Use another CF card instead.
Or, if you have a commercially-available CF card reader that can read the
CF card, use it to transfer all the images in the card to a personal computer.
After transferring all the images to a personal computer, format the CF card.
It may then return to normal.

DPOF: Digital Print
Order Format
With DPOF (Digital Print Order Format), you can use
the camera to specify which images in the CF card are
to be printed and the quantity. This feature is very
convenient when you make prints with a DPOF-
compatible printer or photo lab.
About DPOF
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) is a standard for recording
print ordering instructions to the CF card. It is for images taken
with a digital camera, and you can specify which photos and
the quantity to print. With a DPOF-compatible digital camera,
you can do the following:
By inserting a CF card into a DPOF-compatible
printer, you can make prints as specified.
Printers capable of direct printing from
the camera can print the images as
specified by DPOF.
When ordering prints from a photo
lab, you do not need to fill in any
order form to specify the image
selections, quantity, etc.

When printing with DPOF, you must use the CF card whose Print Order
specifications have been set. It will not work if you just extract images
from the CF card and try to print them.
Certain DPOF-compatible printers and photo labs might not be able to
print the photos as you specified. If this happens with your printer, refer
to the printer’s instruction manual. Or check with your photo lab about
compatibility when ordering prints.
Do not insert into the camera a CF card containing images captured by a
different camera and then try to order prints. The images specified for the
print order might be inadvertantly overwritten. Also, depending on the
image type, the print order may not be possible.

About focusing screen characteristics
Ee-A: Standard Precision Matte
Standard focusing screen that comes with the camera. Provides
good viewfinder brightness and enables easy manual focusing.
Ee-D: Precision Matte with grid
This is the Ee-A with a grid. It makes it easier to align horizontal
or vertical lines.
Ee-S: Super Precision Matte
Focusing screen which makes manual focusing easier than with
the Ee-A. Effective for users who mainly focus manually. The
viewfinder brightness is darker than the Ee-A.
Since the Ee-A focusing screen comes with the EOS 5D, C.Fn-00-0 is
already set.
To change the focusing screen, follow the instructions that comes with
the focusing screen.

The following program line applies when the camera is in Program AE
<d> mode.
Program Line Description
The lower horizontal axis represents the shutter speed, and the right-
hand vertical axis represents the aperture value. The combinations of
shutter speed and aperture value automatically determined by Program
AE are shown as lines with respect to the subject brightness (Exposure
Value) gradations on the left and top edges of the graph.
Example:Using an EF50mm f/1.4 USM lens with a subject brightness of
EV12, the point where the diagonal line from EV12 (on the top
edge) intersects the Program AE line represents the
corresponding shutter speed (1/320 second) and aperture
value (f/3.5) that the program sets automatically.
The diagonal arrowed lines at the upper left indicate the
metering range for each ISO speeds.
