Handling Precautions
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.
To maximize the camera’s dust- and drip- resistance, keep the terminal cover, battery
compartment cover, card slot cover, and all other covers firmly closed.
This camera is designed to be dust- and drip- resistant, in order to help prevent sand,
dust, dirt, or water that falls on it unexpectedly from getting inside, but it is impossible to
prevent dirt, dust, water, or salt from getting inside at all. As far as possible, do not allow
dirt, dust, water, or salt to get on the camera.
If water gets on the camera, wipe it off with a dry and clean cloth. If dirt, dust, or salt gets
on the camera, wipe it off with a clean, well-wrung wet cloth.
Using the camera in dusty or dirty locations may lead to damage.
Cleaning the camera after use is recommended. Allowing dirt, dust, water, or salt to
remain on the camera may cause a malfunction.
If you accidentally drop the camera into water or are concerned that moisture (water),
dirt, dust, or salt may have gotten inside it, promptly consult the nearest Canon Service
Center.
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
malfunction 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.
Do not block shutter curtain operation with your finger or other objects. Doing so may
cause a malfunction.
Only use a commercially available blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, or
other parts. 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 can cause camera malfunction.
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, to avoid damage, do not use the camera or
remove the lens, card, or battery. Turn the camera off and wait until the moisture has
fully evaporated before resuming use. Even after the camera is completely dry, if it is still
internally cold, do not remove the lens, card, or battery until the camera has adjusted to
the ambient temperature.
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.
23
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.
The camera may become hot after repeated continuous shooting or still photo/movie
shooting over an extended period. This is not a malfunction.
If there is a bright light source inside or outside the image area, ghosting may occur.
Screen, viewfinder, and LCD panel
Although the screen and viewfinder are manufactured with very high precision
technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, 0.01% or fewer of the pixels may be dead,
and there may also be spots of black, red, or other colors. This is not a malfunction.
They do not affect the images recorded.
If the screen 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 screen display may seem slightly slow in low temperatures or may look black in
high temperatures. It will return to normal at room temperature.
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
television, 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.
Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
24
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
(1).
25
Smudges on the image 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 smudges are visible on images, have
the sensor cleaned by a nearest Canon Service Center.
Battery
Tips for using the battery and charger
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location.
When storing the battery for extended periods, charge it about once a year.
When charging the battery, aim to charge it to approx. 50% instead of fully charging it
( ).
At room temperature (23°C/73°F), it takes approx. 60 min. to charge a depleted battery
to about approx. 50%. Battery charging time varies greatly depending on ambient
temperature.
If the battery is not used for an extended period, the trace amount of current that
continues to flow inside the battery when it is removed from the camera may eventually
lead to over-discharge and prevent further use, even after charging.

sizes than .
RAW images can be processed using [ : RAW processing (RAW/DPRAW)] ( ) and
saved as JPEG or HEIF images. As the RAW image itself does not change, you can
process the RAW image to create any number of JPEG or HEIF images with various
processing conditions.
You can use Digital Photo Professional (EOS software) to process RAW images. You can
make various adjustments to images depending upon how they will be used and can
generate JPEG, HEIF, or other types of images reflecting the effects of those adjustments.
Note
To display RAW images on a computer, using Digital Photo Professional (EOS
software, hereafter DPP) is recommended.
Older versions of DPP Ver. 4.x do not support display, processing, editing, or other
operations with RAW images captured by this camera. If a previous version of DPP
Ver. 4.x is installed on your computer, obtain and install the latest version of DPP
from the Canon website to update it ( ), which will overwrite the previous version.
Similarly, DPP Ver. 3.x or earlier does not support display, processing, editing, or
other operations with RAW images captured by this camera.
Commercially available software may not be able to display RAW images captured
by this camera. For compatibility information, contact the software manufacturer.
138
Maximum Burst for Continuous Shooting
The approximate maximum burst is displayed at the upper left of the shooting screen and
lower right of the viewfinder.
Note
If the maximum burst is displayed as “99”, it indicates that you can shoot 99 or
more shots continuously. Fewer shots are available for a value of 98 or lower, and
when [BUSY] is displayed on the screen, internal memory is full and shooting will
stop temporarily. If you stop continuous shooting, the maximum burst will increase.
After all captured images have been written to a card, you can once again shoot at
the maximum burst listed in Still photo file size / Number of possible shots /
Maximum burst for continuous shooting.
140
Dual Pixel RAW
Shooting or images with this feature enabled produces special Dual Pixel RAW
images containing dual pixel information from the image sensor. This is called Dual Pixel
RAW shooting.
When processing these images on the camera, you can adjust the images by applying
portrait relighting ( ) and background clarity ( ).
When processing the images in Digital Photo Professional software for EOS cameras, you
can take advantage of the dual pixel data to fine-tune apparent resolution (using depth
information), shift the camera viewpoint slightly, and reduce ghosting.
Results will vary depending on shooting conditions, so before using this feature,
refer to the Digital Photo Professional instruction manual for details on Dual Pixel
RAW characteristics and image processing.
1. Select [ : Dual Pixel RAW].
2. Select [Enable].
3. Set the image quality to or .
Set the image quality to , ＋JPEG, +HEIF, ,

141
Caution
Startup takes longer when the power switch is set to < > or the camera
resumes operation from auto power off.
Continuous shooting speed is slower when you shoot with Dual Pixel RAW ( ).
Maximum burst is also lower.
[ ] and [ ] drive modes are not available. Setting the mode to [ ] or [ ]
has the effect of setting it to [ ].
Noise may be slightly more noticeable in RAW, RAW+JPEG, or RAW+HEIF
images.
These features are not available: multiple exposures, HDR shooting, electronic
shutter, and one-touch image quality setting.
Note
Amount and effect of Dual Pixel RAW correction
Larger lens apertures increase the amount and effect of correction.
The amount and effect of correction may not be sufficient with some lenses and in
some shooting scenes.
The amount and effect of correction varies depending on the camera orientation
(vertical or horizontal).
The amount and effect of correction may not be sufficient under some shooting
conditions.
See Portrait Relighting and Background Clarity for details on the amount and effect
of correction for these options.
142
Still Photo Cropping/Aspect Ratio
Normally with RF or EF lenses, images are captured at the sensor size of approx.
36.0×24.0mm in full-frame shooting, but in cropped shooting, you can isolate and magnify
the center of the image approx. 1.6 (APS-C size) as if using a telephoto lens, or you can set
an aspect ratio as needed before shooting. EF-S lenses capture a 3:2 area in the center,
magnified approx. 1.6× (APS-C size).

ISO Speed Settings for Still Photos
ISO Speed Range When Set Manually
ISO Speed Range Used with ISO Auto
Minimum Shutter Speed for ISO Auto
Set the ISO speed (image sensor’s sensitivity to light) to suit the ambient light level. In [ ]
mode, ISO speed is set automatically.
For details on ISO speed in movie recording, see ISO Speed in Movie Recording.
1. Set the ISO speed.
With an image displayed on the screen, set by turning the < > dial.
ISO speed can be set within ISO 100–51200 in 1/3-stop increments.
Select [AUTO] to set the ISO speed automatically.
For details on the ISO Auto range, see ISO speed (recommended
exposure index) in still photo shooting.
ISO speed guide
Low ISO speeds reduce image noise but may increase the risk of camera/subject shake
or reduce the area in focus (shallower depth of field), in some shooting conditions.
High ISO speeds enable low-light shooting, a larger area in focus (deeper depth of field),
and longer flash range but may increase image noise.
149
Note
ISO speed can also be set in the ISO speed item by pressing the < > button
with an image displayed on the screen.
Can also be set on the [ISO speed] screen in [ : ISO speed settings].
To expand the available ISO speed range from L (equivalent to ISO 50) to H
(equivalent to ISO 102400), adjust [ISO speed range] in [ : ISO speed
settings] ( ).
Caution
Image noise (dots of light or banding) and irregular colors may increase and
apparent resolution may decrease at H (equivalent to ISO 102400), because this is
an expanded ISO speed.
Because L (equivalent to ISO 50) is an expanded ISO speed setting, the dynamic
range will be somewhat narrower compared to the standard setting.
Setting [ : Highlight tone priority] to [Enable] or [Enhanced] ( ) will prevent
you from selecting L (equivalent to ISO 50), ISO 100/125/160, or H (equivalent to
ISO 102400).
When shooting with a high ISO speed, high temperature, long exposure, or multiple
exposure, image noise (graininess, dots of light, banding, etc.), irregular colors, or
color shift may become noticeable.
When shooting in conditions that produce an extreme amount of noise, such as a
combination of high ISO speed, high temperature, and long exposure, images may
not be recorded properly.
If you use a high ISO speed and flash to shoot a close subject, overexposure may
result.
150
ISO Speed Range When Set Manually
You can set the manual ISO speed setting range (minimum and maximum limits). You can

If the effect of Auto Lighting Optimizer is too strong and results are not at your
preferred brightness, set to [Low] or [Disable].
If a setting other than [Disable] is set and you use exposure compensation or flash
exposure compensation to darken the exposure, the image may still come out
bright. If you want a darker exposure, set this function to [Disable].
161
Highlight Tone Priority
You can reduce overexposed, clipped highlights.
1. Select [ : Highlight tone priority].
2. Set an option.
[Enable]: Improves gradation in highlights. The gradation between the
grays and highlights becomes smoother.
[Enhanced]: Reduces overexposed highlights even more than
[Enable], under some shooting conditions.
Caution
Noise may increase slightly.
The available ISO range starts at ISO 200. Expanded ISO speeds cannot be set.
With [Enhanced], results in some scenes may not look as expected.
163
Anti-Flicker Shooting
Uneven exposure and color may result if you shoot at fast shutter speeds under flickering
light sources such as fluorescent lights, due to uneven vertical exposure. Anti-flicker
shooting enables you to take pictures when exposure and colors are less affected by
flickering.
1. Select [ : Anti-flicker shoot.].
2. Select [Enable].
3. Take the picture.
164
Caution
When [Enable] is set and you shoot under a flickering light source, the shutter-
release time lag may become longer. Also, the continuous shooting speed may
become slower, and the shooting interval may become irregular.
Flicker at a frequency other than 100 Hz or 120 Hz cannot be detected. Also, if the
flickering frequency of the light source changes during continuous shooting, effects
of the flicker cannot be reduced.
In [ ], [ ], or [ ] mode, color tone of captured images may vary if the shutter
speed changes during continuous shooting or if you take multiple shots of the same
scene at different shutter speeds. To avoid inconsistent color tone, shoot in [ ],
[ ], or [ ] mode at a fixed shutter speed.
Color tone of captured images may vary between [Enable] and [Disable].
Shutter speed, aperture value, and ISO speed may change when you start
shooting with AE lock.
If the subject is against a dark background or if there is a bright light in the image,
flicker may not be properly detected.
Flicker reduction may not be possible under special lighting.
Depending on the light source, flicker may not be detected properly.
Depending on the light sources or shooting conditions, the expected result may not
be obtained even if you use this function.
Note
Taking test shots in advance is recommended.
Detect flicker manually if the screen flickers (as when the light source changes) by
pressing the <> button, selecting [Anti-flicker shoot.], then pressing the
< > button.
Flicker is not reduced in [ ] mode.
Flicker reduction also works with flash photography. However, the expected result
may not be obtained for wireless flash photography.

in the [Flash function settings] setting of [ : External Speedlite control] ( ).
The camera can turn on certain Speedlites automatically when the camera is
turned on. For details, refer to the instruction manual of Speedlites that support this
feature.
167
Canon Speedlites Other Than the EL/EX Series
With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL series Speedlite set to A-TTL or TTL autoflash mode, the flash
can be fired at full output only.
Set the camera’s shooting mode to [ ] or [ ] and adjust the aperture value before
shooting.
When using a Speedlite that has manual flash mode, shoot in the manual flash mode.
168
Non-Canon Flash Units
Sync speed
The camera can synchronize with non-Canon compact flash units at up to 1/250 sec. (or
up to 1/200 sec. with [ : Shutter mode] set to [Mechanical]). With large studio flash
units, the flash duration is longer than that of a compact flash unit and varies depending
on the model. Before shooting, confirm that flash sync is performed correctly by taking
some test shots at a sync speed of approx. 1/60 sec. to 1/30 sec.

You can set your preferred appearance (balance) for flash shots. This setting enables you to
adjust the ratio of ambient light to Speedlite light output.
Set the balance to [Ambience priority] to lower the proportion of flash output and uses
ambient light to produce lifelike shots with a natural mood. Especially useful when
shooting dark scenes (indoors, for example). After switching to [ ] or [ ] mode,
consider setting [Slow synchro] in [ : External Speedlite control] to [1/250-30sec.
auto] (or [1/200-30sec. auto]) and using slow-sync shooting.
Set the balance to [Flash priority] to make the flash the main source of light. Useful for
reducing shadows on subjects and in the background from ambient light.
Caution
Although [Ambience priority] is effective in dark scenes, there may be no
difference from results with [Standard] in some scenes.
172
E-TTL II Flash Metering
Set to [Eval (FacePrty)] for flash metering suitable for shots of people.
The continuous shooting speed for high-speed continuous shooting is slower than when
[Evaluative] or [Average] is selected.
Set to [Evaluative] for flash metering that emphasizes firing in continuous shooting.
If [Average] is set, the flash exposure will be averaged for the entire metered scene.
Note
Depending on the scene, flash exposure compensation may be necessary.
Caution
Even when [Eval (FacePrty)] is set, some subjects and shooting conditions may
prevent you from obtaining the expected result.
173
Continuous Flash Control
Set to [E-TTL each shot] to perform flash metering for each shot. Set to [E-TTL 1st shot] to
perform flash metering for only the first shot before continuous shooting. The flash output
level for the first shot is applied to all subsequent shots. Useful when prioritizing continuous
shooting speed without recomposing shots.
Caution
Any subject movement in continuous shooting may cause exposure problems.
174
Slow Synchro
You can set the flash-sync speed for flash photography in [ ] or [ ] mode. Note that the
maximum flash synchronization speed varies depending on the [ : Shutter mode] setting.
It is 1/250 sec. when set to [Elec. 1st-curtain] and 1/200 sec. when set to [Mechanical].
: 1/250-30sec. auto ( : 1/200-30sec. auto)
The shutter speed is set automatically within a range of 1/250 (or 1/200) sec. to 30 sec.
to suit the brightness. High-speed sync is also possible.
: 1/250-1/60sec. auto ( : 1/200-1/60sec. auto)
Prevents a slow shutter speed from being set automatically in low-light conditions. It is
effective for preventing subject blur and camera shake. Light from the flash provides
standard exposure for subjects, but note that backgrounds may be dark.
: 1/250 sec. (fixed) ( : 1/200 sec. (fixed))
The shutter speed is fixed at 1/250 sec. (or 1/200 sec.), which is more effective in
preventing subject blur and camera shake than with [1/250-1/60sec. auto] (or
[1/200-1/60sec. auto]). Note that under low light, backgrounds will be darker than with
[1/250-1/60sec. auto] (or [1/200-1/60sec. auto]).
Caution
High-speed sync is not available in [ ] or [ ] mode when set to [1/250 sec.

For details on firing ratio control, refer to the Instruction Manual of the macro flash.
Flash zoom (flash coverage)
With Speedlites having a zooming flash head, you can set the flash coverage.
178
Shutter synchronization
Normally, set this to [First-curtain synchronization] so that the flash fires immediately after
the shooting starts.
Set to [Second-curtain synchronization] and use low shutter speeds for natural-looking
shots of subject motion trails, such as car headlights.
Set to [High-speed synchronization] for flash photography at higher shutter speeds than
the maximum flash sync shutter speed. This is effective when shooting with an open
aperture in [ ] mode to blur the background behind subjects outdoors in daylight, for
example.
Caution
When using second-curtain synchronization, set the shutter speed to 1/60 sec. or
slower. If the shutter speed is 1/80 sec. or faster, first-curtain synchronization will
be applied automatically even if [Second-curtain synchronization] is set.
Flash exposure compensation
Just as exposure compensation is adjustable, you can also adjust flash output.
Note
If flash exposure compensation is set with the Speedlite, you cannot set the flash
exposure compensation with the camera. If it is set with both the camera and
Speedlite, the Speedlite’s setting overrides the camera’s.

Lens Aberration Correction
Peripheral Illumination Correction
Distortion Correction
Digital Lens Optimizer
Chromatic Aberration Correction
Diffraction Correction
Vignetting, image distortion, and other issues may be caused by lens optical characteristics.
The camera can compensate for these phenomena by using [Lens aberration correction].
1. Select [ : Lens aberration correction].
2. Select an option.
209
3. Select a setting.
Confirm that the name of the attached lens and (except for diffraction

If [Correction data not available] or [ ] is displayed, see Digital Lens
Optimizer.
Caution
Not available when shooting multiple exposures.
Peripheral Illumination Correction
Vignetting (dark image corners) can be corrected.
Caution
Depending on shooting conditions, noise may appear on the image periphery.
The higher the ISO speed, the lower the amount of correction will be.
Note
The amount of correction applied will be lower than the maximum correction
amount applied with Digital Photo Professional (EOS software).
Peripheral illumination is corrected automatically in [ ] mode when correction
data is registered on the camera.
210
Distortion Correction
Distortion (image warping) can be corrected.
Caution
To correct distortion, the camera captures a narrower image area than the area
seen in viewfinder shooting, which crops the image a little and slightly lowers the
apparent resolution.
Applying distortion correction may change the angle of view slightly.
The amount of image cropped may vary between still photos and movies.
Note
With RF lenses, distortion correction during movie recording is supported.
211
Digital Lens Optimizer
Various aberrations from lens optical characteristics can be corrected, along with diffraction
and low-pass filter-induced loss of resolution.
If [Correction data not available] or [ ] is displayed by [Digital Lens Optimizer], you can
use EOS Utility to add the lens correction data to the camera. For details, refer to the EOS
Utility Instruction Manual.
Caution
Image processing after you shoot takes longer when set to [High] (which causes
the access lamp to be illuminated longer).
Maximum burst is lower with [High]. Image recording to the card also takes longer.
Depending on shooting conditions, noise may be intensified together with the
effects of correction. Image edges may also be emphasized. Adjust Picture Style
sharpness or set [Digital Lens Optimizer] to [Disable] as needed before shooting.
The higher the ISO speed, the lower the amount of correction will be.
For movie recording, [Digital Lens Optimizer] will not appear. (Correction is not
possible.)
The effect of Digital Lens Optimizer cannot be checked on the screen at the time of
shooting.
Note
With [Digital Lens Optimizer] set to [Standard] or [High], [Chromatic aberr corr]
and [Diffraction correction] are not displayed, but they are both set to [Enable] for
shooting.
212
Chromatic Aberration Correction
Chromatic aberration (color fringing around subjects) can be corrected.
Note
[Chromatic aberr corr] is not displayed when [Digital Lens Optimizer] is set to
[Standard] or [High].
213
Diffraction Correction
Diffraction (loss of sharpness caused by the aperture) can be corrected.
Caution
Depending on shooting conditions, noise may be intensified together with the
effects of correction.
The higher the ISO speed, the lower the amount of correction will be.
Note
“Diffraction correction” corrects degraded resolution not only from diffraction but
also from the low-pass filter and other factors. Thus, correction is also effective for
exposures with the aperture wide open.
[Diffraction correction] is not displayed when [Digital Lens Optimizer] is set to
[Standard] or [High].
Caution
General precautions for lens aberration correction
Lens aberration correction cannot be applied to existing JPEG images.
When using a non-Canon lens, setting the corrections to [Disable] is
recommended even if [Correction data available] is displayed.
Magnifying the periphery of the image may display parts of the image that will not
be recorded.
The amount of correction (except diffraction correction) is less for lenses that do
not provide distance information.
214
Note
General notes for lens aberration correction
Effects of lens aberration correction vary by lens and shooting conditions. Also, the
effect may be difficult to discern depending on the lens used, shooting conditions,
etc.
If the correction is difficult to discern, magnifying and checking the image after
shooting is recommended.
Corrections are 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] (except for diffraction
correction).
If necessary, refer to the EOS Utility Instruction Manual as well.
215
Long Exposure Noise Reduction
Noise that tends to occur in long exposures at shutter speeds of one sec. or slower can be
reduced.
1. Select [ : Long exp. noise reduction].
2. Set a reduction option.
Auto
For images exposed for 1 sec. or longer, noise reduction is performed
automatically if noise typical of long exposures is detected. This setting
is effective enough in most cases.
Enable
Noise reduction is performed for all images exposed for 1 sec. or
longer. The [Enable] setting may reduce noise that cannot be detected
with the [Auto] setting.
216
Caution
With [Auto] or [Enable] set, noise reduction after you shoot may take as long as
exposure for the shot.
Images may look grainier with the [Enable] setting than with the [Disable] or [Auto]
setting.
[BUSY] is displayed as noise is reduced, and the shooting screen is not displayed
until processing is finished, when you can shoot again.
217
High ISO Speed Noise Reduction
You can reduce the image noise generated. This function is especially effective when
shooting at high ISO speeds. When shooting at low ISO speeds, the noise in the darker
parts of the image (shadow areas) can further be reduced.
1. Select [ : High ISO speed NR].
2. Set the level.
Low, Standard, High
The camera applies an amount of noise reduction corresponding to
your specified level.
Multi Shot Noise Reduction
Applies noise reduction with higher image quality than [High]. For a
single photo, four shots are taken continuously and aligned and
merged automatically into a single JPEG image.
Note that [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] is not available with image
quality set to RAW or RAW+JPEG.
218
Caution
Precautions on Multi Shot Noise Reduction
If there is significant misalignment in the image due to camera shake, the noise
reduction effect may become smaller.
Be careful about camera shake in handheld shots. Using a tripod is recommended.
If you shoot a moving subject, the moving subject may leave afterimages.
Auto image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice,
stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.
If the subject’s brightness changes as the four consecutive shots are taken,
irregular exposure in the image may result.
After shooting, it may take some time to record an image to the card after
performing noise reduction and merging the images. “BUSY” is displayed as
images are processed, and shooting is not possible until processing is finished.
[Multi Shot Noise Reduction] is not available when any of these features are set:
bulb exposures, AEB or WB bracketing, RAW or RAW+JPEG, long exposure noise
reduction, multiple exposures, HDR mode, HDR PQ, focus bracketing, or electronic
shutter.
Flash photography is not available. Note that the AF-assist beam of Speedlites may
be fired, depending on the [ : AF-assist beam firing] setting.
[Multi Shot Noise Reduction] is not available (not displayed) when recording
movies.
The camera automatically switches to [Standard] when RAW or RAW+JPEG
image quality is set.
The camera automatically switches to [Standard] if you set the power switch to
< >, replace the battery or card, or switch to [ ] or [ ] mode or movie
recording.
219
Dust Delete Data Acquisition
Preparation
Dust Delete Data Appending
Dust Delete Data used to erase dust spots can be appended to images in case sensor
cleaning leaves dust on the sensor. The Dust Delete Data is used by Digital Photo
Professional (EOS software) to erase the dust spots automatically.
Preparation
Use an RF or EF lens.
Prepare a solid white object such as a sheet of paper.
Set the lens focal length to 50 mm or longer.
Set the lens’s focus mode switch to < > and set the focus to infinity (∞). If the lens
has no distance scale, rotate the camera to face toward you and turn the focusing ring
clockwise all the way.
1. Select [ : Dust Delete Data].
220
2. Select [OK].
After the automatic self-cleaning of the sensor is performed, a message
will appear. Although there will be a mechanical sound of the shutter
during the cleaning, no picture is taken.
221
3. Shoot a plain white object.
Shoot with a plain white object (such as a new sheet of white paper)
filling the screen, at a distance of 20–30 cm (0.7–1.0 ft.).
Since the image will not be saved, the data can still be obtained even if
there is no card in the camera.
When the picture is taken, the camera will start collecting the Dust
Delete Data. When the Dust Delete Data is obtained, a message will
appear.
If the data is not obtained successfully, an error message will appear.
Check the information in Preparation, select [OK], and shoot again.
222
Dust Delete Data Appending
The camera will append the Dust Delete Data obtained to all shots from now on. Acquiring
Dust Delete Data before shooting is recommended.
For details about using Digital Photo Professional (EOS software) to erase dust spots
automatically, refer to the Digital Photo Professional Instruction Manual.
File size is essentially unaffected by Dust Delete Data appended to images.
Caution
Dust Delete Data is not obtained when EF-S lenses are used, or when [ :
Cropping/aspect ratio] is set to [1.6x (crop)].
Dust Delete Data is not added to images when [Distortion correction] is set to
[Enable].
If the object has any pattern or design, it may be recognized as dust data and affect
the accuracy of the dust deletion with the Digital Photo Professional (EOS
software).
223
2. Set [Multiple exposure].
Select an option, then press < >.
To exit shooting multiple exposures, select [Disable].
On:Func/Ctrl
Convenient when shooting multiple exposures gradually as you check
the results. During continuous shooting, the continuous shooting speed
will decrease greatly.
On:ContShtng
Used for continuous multiple exposures of moving subjects.
Continuous shooting is possible, but the following operations are
disabled during shooting: menu screen viewing, image review after
capture, image playback, and undo last image ( ).
Note that the single exposures used for merging are discarded, and
only the multiple-exposure image is saved.
Caution
Multiple exposures may not be available with some lenses.
225
3. Set [Multi-expos ctrl].
Select a merging option, then press < >.
Additive
The exposure of each single image captured is added cumulatively.
Based on [No. of exposures], set negative exposure compensation.
Follow these basic guidelines to set the exposure compensation
amount.
Exposure compensation setting guidelines, by number of
exposures
Two exposures: –1 stop, three exposures: –1.5 stops, four exposures:
–2 stops
Average
Based on the [No. of exposures], negative exposure compensation is
set automatically as you shoot multiple exposures. If you shoot multiple
exposures of the same scene, the exposure of the subject’s
background will be automatically controlled to obtain the standard
exposure.
Bright/Dark
Brightness (or darkness) of the base image and added images is
compared at the same position, and bright (or dark) portions are
retained. Some overlapping colors may be mixed, depending on the
relative brightness (or darkness) of the images.
226
4. Set [No. of exposures].
Select the number of exposures, then press < >.
5. Specify the images to save.
To save all single exposures and the multiple-exposure image, select
[All images] and press < >.
To save only the multiple-exposure image, select [Result only] and
press < >.
227
6. Set [Continue Mult-exp].
Select an option, then press < >.
With [1 shot only], multiple-exposure shooting will be canceled
automatically after the shooting ends.
With [Continuously], multiple-exposure shooting continues until the
setting in step 2 is set to [Disable].
7. Shoot the first exposure.
When [On:Func/Ctrl] is set, the captured image will be displayed.
The [ ] icon blinks.
The number of remaining exposures is indicated on the screen (1) for
reference.
Pressing the < > button enables you to view the captured image
( ).
228
8. Shoot the next exposures.
Images captured so far are displayed merged. For only image display,
press the < > button repeatedly.
As you shoot, you can view the multiple-exposure image so far, check
exposure, and see how the images will be merged by holding down the
depth-of-field preview button (or the button assigned to [Depth-of-field
preview] in [ : Customize buttons]).
Multiple-exposure shooting will end when the set number of exposures
are taken.
Note
With [On:Func/Ctrl], you can press the < > button to view the multiple-
exposure image so far or delete the previous single exposure ( ).
As shooting information, the multiple-exposure image has information captured for
the last shot.
229
Caution
The image quality, ISO speed, Picture Style, high ISO speed noise reduction, color
space, etc. set for the first single exposure will also be set for the subsequent
exposures.
If [ : Picture Style] is set to [Auto], [Standard] will be applied for shooting.
With [On:Func/Ctrl] and [Additive] set, any noise, irregular colors, banding, or
similar issues affecting images displayed as you shoot may look different in the
final multiple-exposure image.
With multiple exposures, the more exposures there are, the more noticeable the
noise, irregular colors, and banding will be.
Image processing after you finish shooting multiple exposures takes longer when
[Additive] is set (which causes the access lamp to be illuminated longer).
Brightness and noise of the final multiple-exposure image will be different from that
of multiple-exposure images captured and displayed merged in step 8.
Multiple-exposure shooting is canceled if you set the power switch to < > or
switch batteries or cards.
Multiple-exposure shooting ends if you switch to [ ]/[ ]/[ ]/[ ]/[ ]
shooting modes.
If you connect the camera to a computer, multiple-exposure shooting will not be
possible. If you connect the camera to a computer during shooting, multiple-
exposure shooting will end.

multiple-exposure image created so far and exits multiple-exposure shooting.
With [Save source imgs: Result only], saves only the multiple-exposure
image created so far and exits multiple-exposure shooting.
Exit without saving Exits the multiple-exposure shooting without saving the image.
Caution
During multiple-exposure shooting, you can only play back multiple-exposure
images.
FAQ
Are there any restrictions on the image quality?
All single exposures and the multiple-exposure image are captured at your specified
image quality.
Can I merge images recorded on the card?
With [Select image for multi. expo.], you can select the first single exposure from the
images recorded on the card ( ). Note that you cannot merge multiple images already
recorded on the card.
233
How are multiple-exposure files numbered?
With the camera set to save all images, multiple-exposure image files are named with
the next number after the number of the last single exposure used to create them.
Will auto power off take effect during multiple-exposure shooting?
During multiple-exposure shooting, auto power off will not take effect. Note that before
you start multiple-exposure shooting, auto power off automatically takes effect at the
time set in the [Auto power off] option of [ : Power saving], which will cancel multiple-
exposure shooting.
234
HDR Mode
Effects
You can shoot still photos with clipped highlights and shadows reduced for a high dynamic
range of tones even in high-contrast scenes. HDR shooting is effective for landscape and
still-life shots.
With HDR shooting, three images of different exposures (standard exposure,
underexposure, and overexposure) are captured consecutively for each shot and then
merged together automatically. The HDR image is recorded as a JPEG image.
* HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.
1. Select [ : HDR Mode].
2. Set [Adjust dyn range].
Selecting [Auto] will have the dynamic range set automatically
depending on the image’s overall tonal range.
The higher the number, the wider the dynamic range will be.
To exit HDR shooting, select [Disable HDR].
235
3. Set [Effect].
See Effects for details on the settings and effects.
4. Set [Continuous HDR].
With [1 shot only], HDR shooting is canceled automatically after you
finish shooting.
With [Every shot], HDR shooting continues until the setting in step 2 is
set to [Disable HDR].
5. Set [Auto Image Align].
For handheld shooting, select [Enable]. When using a tripod, select
[Disable].
236
6. Specify the images to save.
To save the three images captured and the resulting HDR image,
select [All images].
To save only the HDR image, select [HDR img only].
7. Take the picture.
When you press the shutter button completely, three consecutive
images will be captured, and the HDR image will be recorded to the
card.
237
Caution
RAW HDR images are captured in JPEG image quality. RAW+JPEG HDR
images are captured in the specified JPEG image quality.
Expanded ISO speeds (L, H) are not available in HDR shooting. HDR shooting is
possible within ISO 100–51200 (varies depending on the settings of [Minimum]
and [Maximum] for [ISO speed range]).
The flash will not fire during HDR shooting.
AEB is not available.
If you shoot a moving subject, the moving subject may leave afterimages.
In HDR shooting, three images are captured with different shutter speeds set
automatically. For this reason, even in [ ], [ ], and [ ] modes, the shutter
speed will change, relative to your specified speed.
To prevent camera shake, a high ISO speed may be set.
When shooting HDR images with [Auto Image Align] set to [Enable], AF point
display information ( ) and Dust Delete Data ( ) will not be appended to the
image.
If you perform handheld HDR shooting with [Auto Image Align] set to [Enable],
image periphery will be slightly trimmed and resolution will be slightly lowered.
Also, if the images cannot be aligned properly due to camera shake, etc., auto
image alignment may not take effect. Note that when shooting with excessively
bright (or dark) exposure settings, auto image alignment may not work properly.
If you perform handheld HDR shooting with [Auto Image Align] set to [Disable],
the three images may not be properly aligned and the HDR effect may be reduced.
Using a tripod is recommended.
Auto image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice,
stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.
Subjects such as the sky or white walls may not be rendered with smooth gradation
and may have noise or irregular exposure or colors.
HDR shooting under fluorescent or LED lighting may result in unnatural color
reproduction of the illuminated areas.
With HDR shooting, the images will be merged, then saved to the card, so it may
take some time. [BUSY] appears on the screen as images are processed, and
shooting is not possible until processing is finished.
238
Effects
[ ] Natural
For images preserving a wide tonal range where the highlight and shadow details would
otherwise be lost. Clipped highlights and shadows will be reduced.
[ ] Art standard
While the clipped highlights and shadows will be reduced more than with [Natural], the
contrast will be lower, and the gradation flatter to have the picture look like a painting.
The subject outlines will have bright (or dark) edges.
[ ] Art vivid
The colors are more saturated than with [Art standard], and the low contrast and flat
gradation create a graphic art effect.
[ ] Art bold
The colors are the most saturated, making the subject pop out, and the picture looks like
an oil painting.
[ ] Art embossed
The color saturation, brightness, contrast and gradation are decreased to make the
picture look flat, so that the picture looks faded and old. The subject outlines will have
intensely bright (or dark) edges.
Art standard Art vivid Art bold Art embossed
Saturation Standard High Higher Low
Outline emphasis Standard Weak Strong Stronger
Brightness Standard Standard Standard Dark
Gradation Flat Flat Flat Flatter
Note
Each effect will be applied based on the characteristics of the Picture Style ( )
currently set.
239
Focus Bracketing
Focus bracketing enables continuous shooting with the focal distance changed automatically
after a single shot. From these images, you can create a single image in focus over a wide
area by using an application that supports depth compositing, such as Digital Photo
Professional (EOS software).
1. Select [ : Focus bracketing].
2. Set [Focus bracketing].
Select [Enable].
240
3. Set [Number of shots].
Specify the number of images captured per shot.
Can be set in a range of [2]–[999].
4. Set [Focus increment].
Specify how much to shift the focus. This amount is automatically
adjusted to suit the aperture value at the time of shooting.
Larger aperture values increase the focus shift and make focus
bracketing cover a wider range under the same focus increment and
number of shots.
After completing the settings, press < >.
241
5. Set [Exposure smoothing].
You can suppress changes in image brightness during focus bracketing
by setting [Exposure smoothing] to [Enable], which compensates for
differences between the displayed and actual aperture value (effective
f/number), which varies by focal position.
6. Take the picture.
To save your shots in a new folder, tap [ ] and select [OK].
Focus at the nearer end of your preferred focal range, then press the
shutter button completely.
Once shooting begins, release the shutter button.
The camera shoots continuously, shifting the focal position toward
infinity.
Shooting ends after your specified number of images, or at the far end
of the focal range.
242
Caution
Focus bracketing is intended for still photo shooting on a tripod.
Shooting with a wider angle of view is recommended. After depth compositing, you
can crop the image if necessary.
For details on lenses compatible with this feature, visit the Canon website.
Set [Exposure smoothing] to [Disable] with the following lenses, because they
may cause changes in image brightness.
• EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM
• EF180mm f/3.5L Macro USM
• EF-S60mm f/2.8 Macro USM
Suitable [Focus increment] settings vary by subject. An unsuitable [Focus
increment] setting may cause unevenness in composite images, or shooting may
take more time because more shots are taken. Take some test shots to decide a
suitable [Focus increment] setting.
Combining the images will take longer when you have specified a higher numbers
of shots.
Flash photography is not possible.
Shooting under flickering light may cause uneven images. In this case, lowering the
shutter speed may give better results.
Focus bracketing is not available when the lens’s focus mode switch is set to
< >.
Canceling shooting in progress may cause exposure problems in the last image.
Avoid using the last image when combining the images in Digital Photo
Professional.
Note
Using a tripod, remote switch (sold separately, ), or wireless remote control (sold
separately, ) is recommended.
For best results, set the aperture value in a range of f/5.6–11 before shooting.
Details such as shutter speed, aperture value, and ISO speed are determined by
conditions for the first shot.
To cancel shooting, press the shutter button completely again.
[Focus bracketing] reverts to [Disable] when the power switch is set to < >.
243
Interval Timer Shooting
With the interval timer, you can set the shooting interval and number of shots, so that the
camera takes individual shots repeatedly according to your interval until your specified
number of shots are taken.
1. Select [ : Interval timer].
2. Select [Enable].
Select [Enable], then press the <> button.
244
3. Set the shooting interval and number of shots.
Select an option to set (hours : minutes : seconds / number of shots).
Press < > to display [ ].
Set the desired number, then press < >. (Returns to [ ].)
Interval
Can be set in a range of [00:00:01]–[99:59:59].
No. of shots
Can be set in a range of [01]–[99]. To keep the interval timer on
indefinitely until you stop it, set [00].
4. Select [OK].
The interval timer settings will be displayed on the menu screen.
(1) Interval
(2) Number of shots
245
5. Take the picture.
First shot is taken and shooting continues according to the interval
timer settings.
During interval timer shooting, [ ] will blink.
After the set number of shots are taken, the interval timer shooting will
stop and be automatically canceled.
Note
Using a tripod is recommended.
Taking test shots in advance is recommended.
Even during interval timer shooting, you can still shoot as usual by pressing the
shutter button completely. Note that the camera will prepare for the next interval
timer shot approx. 5 sec. in advance, which will temporarily prevent operations
such as adjusting shooting settings, accessing menus, and playing back images.
If the next scheduled interval timer shot is not possible because the camera is
shooting or processing images, it will be skipped. For this reason, fewer shots than
specified will be taken.
Even during interval timer operation, auto power off is triggered after approx. 8 sec.
of inactivity, as long as [Auto power off] under [ : Power saving] is not set to
[Disable]. When set to [ : Eco mode], the display dims after 2 sec., and auto
power off takes effect 6 sec. after this. The camera will automatically turn on again
approx. 1 min. before the next shot.
Can also be combined with AEB, white balance bracketing, multiple exposures,
and HDR mode.
To stop interval timer shooting, select [Disable] or set the power switch to
< >.
246
Caution
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.
Setting the lens’s focus mode switch to < > prevents the camera from shooting
unless subjects are in focus. Consider setting the mode to <> and focusing
manually before shooting.
If the shooting time is long, using the household power outlet accessories (sold
separately) is recommended.
Shooting long exposures or using shutter speeds longer than the shooting interval
will prevent shooting at the specified interval. For this reason, fewer shots than
specified will be taken. Using shutter speeds nearly the same as the shooting
interval may also reduce the number of shots.
If the time it takes to record to the card exceeds the shooting interval due to the
shooting functions set or card performance, some of the shots may not be taken
with the set intervals.
When using flash with interval timer shooting, set an interval longer than the flash
charge time. Intervals that are too short may prevent the flash from firing.
Intervals that are too short may prevent shooting or autofocusing.
Interval timer shooting is canceled and reset to [Disable] if you set the power
switch to < >, set the shooting mode to [ ]/[ ]/[ ]/[ ]/[ ], or use
EOS Utility (EOS software).
During interval timer shooting, you cannot use Remote Control Shooting or remote-
release shooting with a Speedlite.
247
Shutter Mode
You can choose the method of shutter release.
1. Select [ : Shutter mode].
2. Select an option.
Mechanical
Shooting activates the mechanical shutter. Recommended when shooting with the
aperture of a bright lens wide open.
Elec. 1st-curtain
Shooting only activates the second-curtain shutter.
Electronic
Enables you to shoot without a shutter sound.
In continuous shooting, the camera always shoots at high speed (up to approx. 20
shots/sec.). Also during continuous shooting, the white frame is displayed repeatedly.
248
Caution
Defocused image areas may be incomplete when shooting near maximum aperture
at high shutter speeds, depending on shooting conditions. If you dislike the
appearance of defocused image areas, shooting as follows may give better results.
• Shoot with an option other than [Elec. 1st-curtain].
• Lower the shutter speed.
• Increase the aperture value.
Precautions when set to [Electronic]
Be responsible when using electronic shutter, and respect subject privacy and
portrait rights.
Some restrictions on shutter speed apply. Shutter speeds slower than 0.5 sec. are
not available.
The continuous shooting speed may become slower depending on the shooting
conditions.
Images of fast-moving subjects may look distorted.
With some lenses and under some shooting conditions, lens focusing and aperture
adjustment may be audible.
Bands of light may be displayed and captured images may be affected by light and
dark banding if you shoot with electronic shutter during flash firing by other
cameras or under fluorescent lighting or other flickering light sources.
Zooming during continuous shooting may cause changes in exposure even at the
same f/number. For details, refer to the Canon website.
[Elec. 1st-curtain] is used for bulb exposures.
AEB shooting and flash photography are not available.
Some functions will be restricted, but you can return to shooting with previous
settings by switching to a setting other than [Electronic].
[Enable] is used for [ High speed display] when [Expo. simulation] is set to
[Enable] in drive modes other than [ ].

General Still Photo Shooting Precautions
Information Display
For details on the icons displayed for still photo shooting, see Information Display.
Note
White display of the [ ] icon indicates that your shots will be about as bright as
the image displayed.
If the [ ] icon is blinking, it indicates that the image is displayed at a brightness
that differs from the actual shooting result because of low- or bright-light conditions.
However, the actual image recorded will reflect the exposure setting. Note that the
noise may be more noticeable than the actual image recorded.
Exposure simulation may not be performed under some shooting settings. The
[ ] icon and histogram will be displayed in gray. The image will be displayed on
the screen at the standard brightness. The histogram may not be properly
displayed in low- or bright-light conditions.
The histogram can be displayed when [ : Expo. simulation] is set to [Enable]
( ).
283
General Still Photo Shooting Precautions
Caution
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.
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.
Frequent shooting over an extended period may cause high internal temperatures
and affect image quality. When you are not shooting, always turn off the camera.
If you shoot a long exposure while the camera’s internal temperature is high, image
quality may decline. Stop shooting and wait a few minutes before shooting again.
White [ ] and red [ ] internal temperature warning icons
White [ ] or red [ ] icons indicate high internal camera temperature, caused by
factors such as extended shooting or use in hot environments.
The white [ ] icon indicates that the image quality of still photos will decline. Stop
shooting for a while and allow the camera to cool down.
Shooting at low ISO speeds instead of high speeds is recommended when the
white [ ] icon is displayed.
The red [ ] icon indicates that shooting will soon be terminated automatically.
Shooting will not be possible again until the camera cools down internally, so stop
shooting temporarily or turn off the camera and let it cool down a while.
Shooting in hot environments over extended periods will cause the white [ ] or
red [ ] icon to appear sooner. When you are not shooting, always turn off the
camera.
If the camera’s internal temperature is high, the quality of images shot with a high
ISO speed or long exposure may decline even before the white [ ] icon is
displayed.
Shooting results
In magnified view, the shutter speed and aperture value will be displayed in orange.
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.
Even if you take the picture in magnified view, the image will be captured with the
image area of the normal view.
284
Images and display
Under low- or bright-light conditions, the displayed image may not reflect the
brightness of the captured image.
Although noise may be noticeable in images under low light (even at low ISO
speeds), there will be less noise in your shots, due to differences in image quality
between displayed and captured images.
The screen may flicker if the light source (lighting) changes. In this case, stop
shooting temporarily and resume under the light source you will use.
Pointing the camera at different direction may momentarily prevent correct display
of brightness. 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 screen. However, the actual captured image will correctly show the bright
area.
Under low light, bright [ : Screen brightness] settings may cause noise or
irregular colors in images. 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.
Lens
If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer and you set the Image Stabilizer switch
to < >, 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
decrease the number of available shots depending on the shooting conditions.
When the Image Stabilizer is not necessary, such as when using a tripod, it is
recommended that you set the Image Stabilizer switch to <>.
With EF lenses, focus preset during shooting is only available when using (super)
telephoto lenses equipped with this function released in and after the second half of
2011.
Note
The field of view is approx. 100% (with image quality set to JPEG ).
If the camera is idle over an extended period, the screen will turn off automatically
after the time set in [Auto power off] or [Viewfinder off] under [ : Power saving].
The camera then turns off automatically after the time set in [Auto power off] ( ).
Using a commercially available HDMI cable, you can display images on a television
( ). Note that no sound will be output.

309
8K/4K Movie Recording
Recording 8K or 4K movies requires a stable card with a fast writing speed. For details,
see Cards That Can Record Movies.
8K/4K or High Frame Rate movie recording greatly increases the processing load, which
may increase the internal camera temperature faster or higher than for regular movies. If
[ ] or a red [ ] icon appears during movie recording, the card may be hot, so
stop recording the movie and let the camera cool down before removing the card.

Compression method
[ ] ALL-I (For editing/I-only)
Compresses each frame, one at a time, for recording. Although file sizes are larger than
with IPB (Standard), movies are more suitable for editing.
[ ] IPB (Standard)
Compresses multiple frames at a time efficiently for recording. File sizes are smaller
than with ALL-I (For editing), which enables movie recording over longer periods (with a
card of the same capacity).
[ ] IPB (Light)
Since the movie is recorded at a bit rate lower than with IPB (Standard), the file size will
be smaller than with IPB (Standard) and the playback compatibility will be higher. This
will make the available recording time longer than with IPB (Standard) (with a card
having the same capacity).
Movie recording format
[ ] RAW
When [ ] is selected, movies are recorded as RAW movie files (file extension
“.CRM”).
[ ] MP4
When [ ], [ ], or [ ] is selected, movies are recorded as MP4 movie files
(file extension “.MP4”).
312
RAW movies
RAW movies are raw, unprocessed data from the image sensor that are recorded to the
card digitally.
You can use Digital Photo Professional (EOS software) to process RAW movies. You can
make various adjustments to images depending upon how they will be used and can
generate JPEG, HEIF, or other types of images reflecting the effects of those adjustments.
Caution
RAW movies cannot be processed using [ : RAW processing (RAW/DPRAW)].
Note
To display RAW movies on a computer, using Digital Photo Professional (EOS
software, hereafter DPP) is recommended.
Older versions of DPP Ver. 4.x do not support display, processing, editing, or other
operations with RAW movies recorded by this camera. If a previous version of DPP
Ver. 4.x is installed on your computer, obtain and install the latest version of DPP
from the Canon website to update it ( ), which will overwrite the previous version.
Similarly, DPP Ver. 3.x or earlier does not support display, processing, editing, or
other operations with RAW movies recorded by this camera.
Commercially available software may not be able to display RAW movies recorded
by this camera. For compatibility information, contact the software manufacturer.
To prioritize gradation in highlights, set Canon Log to [On]. This is recommended
for Cinema EOS and RAW movies.
313
Cards That Can Record Movies
For details on CFexpress cards that can record at each level of movie recording quality,
check the Canon website.
See Card performance requirements for details on SD cards.
Test cards by recording a few movies to make sure they can record correctly at your
specified size ( ).
Caution
Before recording 8K or 4K movies, format cards by selecting [Low level format] in
[ : Format card] ( ).
If you use a slow-writing card when recording movies, the movie may not be
recorded properly. Also, if you play back a movie on a card with a slow reading
speed, the movie may not be played back properly.
When recording movies, use high-performance cards with a writing speed
sufficiently higher than the bit rate.
When movies cannot be recorded properly, format the card and try again. If
formatting the card does not resolve the problem, refer to the card manufacturer’s
website, etc.
Unsupported movie recording
The following files cannot be recorded to SD cards. Pressing the movie shooting
button will not start recording.
• RAW movies
• 8K ALL-I
• 4K 119.9/100.0 fps (High Frame Rate movies)
• 4K ALL-I HEVC (YUV422, 10-bit)
• 4K 59.94/50.00 fps ALL-I H.264 (YUV420, 8-bit)
Note
To obtain better performance with the card, formatting the card with the camera
before recording movies is recommended ( ).
To check the card’s writing/reading speed, refer to the card manufacturer’s website,
etc.
314
High Frame Rate
You can record 4K movies at a high frame rate of 119.9 fps or 100.0 fps. This is ideal for
recording movies that will be played back in slow motion. The maximum recording time per
movie is 7 min. 29 sec.
Movies are recorded in / or /
quality.
Sound is not recorded in High Frame Rate movies.
Time code display during movie recording advances 4 sec. per second.
Because High Frame Rate movies are recorded as 29.97 fps/25.00 fps movie files, they
are played in slow motion at 1/4 speed.
Caution
Precautions when set to [High Frame Rate: Enable]
Time codes are not recorded when [Count up] is set to [Free run] in [ : Time
code] ( ).
Check the [Movie rec. size] setting if you return this setting to [Disable].
The screen may flicker if you record High Frame Rate movies under fluorescent or
LED lighting.
For a moment when you start or stop recording High Frame Rate movies, the
movie is not updated, and the frame stops momentarily. Be aware of this when
recording movies to external devices via HDMI.

316
Movie Files Exceeding 4 GB
Using SD/SDHC cards formatted with the camera
If you use the camera to format an SD/SDHC card, the camera will format it in FAT32.
With a FAT32-formatted card, if you record a movie and the file size exceeds 4 GB, a
new movie file will be created automatically.
When you play back the movie, you will have to play back each movie file individually.
Movie files cannot be played back automatically in consecutive order. After the movie
playback ends, select the next movie and play it back.
Using SDXC cards formatted with the camera
If you use the camera to format an SDXC card, the camera will format it in exFAT.
When using an exFAT-formatted card, even if the file size exceeds 4 GB during movie
recording, the movie will be saved as a single file (rather than being split into multiple
files).
Caution
When importing movie files exceeding 4 GB to a computer, use either EOS Utility
or a card reader ( ). It may not be possible to save movie files exceeding 4 GB if
you attempt this using standard features of the computer’s operating system.

Sound Recording
Sound Recording/Sound-Recording Level
Wind Filter
Attenuator
You can record movies while recording sound with the built-in monaural microphone or an
external stereo microphone. You can also freely adjust the sound-recording level.
Use [ : Sound recording] to set sound recording functions.
Caution
Sounds from Wi-Fi operations may be captured with built-in or external
microphones. During sound recording, using the wireless communication function
is not recommended.
When connecting an external microphone or headphones to the camera, be sure to
insert the plug all the way in.
The camera’s built-in microphone may also record mechanical sounds of the lens
or sounds of camera/lens operations if AF operations are performed or the camera
or lens is operated during movie recording. In this case, using an external
microphone may reduce these sounds. If the sounds are still distracting with an
external microphone, it may be more effective to remove the external microphone
from the camera and position it away from the camera and lens.
Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the camera’s
external microphone IN terminal.
Noise reduction is not applied to the audio played through headphones. Thus, the
audio recorded with the movie will be different.
Do not change the [ : Sound recording] settings when listening with
headphones. This may cause sudden loud output that may hurt your ears.
321
Note
In [ ] mode, the settings available for [ : Sound recording] are [On] or [Off].
Set to [On] for automatic adjustment of the recording level.
Audio is also output when the camera is connected to televisions via HDMI, except
when [Sound rec.] is set to [Disable]. In case of feedback from television audio
output, move the camera away from the television or turn down the volume.
The volume balance between L/R (left/right) cannot be adjusted.
Sound is recorded at a 48 kHz/16-bit sampling rate.

camera’s built-in microphone is used. When the wind filter function takes effect, part of the
low bass sounds will also be reduced.
323
Attenuator
Automatically suppresses sound distortion caused by loud noises. Even if [Sound rec.] is
set to [Auto] or [Manual] for recording, sound distortion may still result if there is a very loud
sound. In this case, setting it to [Enable] is recommended.
Microphone
Normally, the built-in microphone records in mono.
Any external microphones with a 3.5 mm mini-jack connected to the camera’s external
microphone IN terminal ( ) are used instead. Using Directional Stereo Microphone
DM-E1 (sold separately) is recommended.
Headphones
By connecting commercially available headphones with a 3.5 mm mini-jack to the
headphone terminal ( ), you can listen to the sound as movies are recorded. To adjust
headphone volume, press the <> button, select [ ], and adjust by turning the
< > or < > dial or press < > left or right ( ).
You can also use headphones during movie playback.

Canon Log Settings
Shooting Settings
Canon Log Image Quality
Canon Log gamma curve takes full advantage of image sensor characteristics to ensure
wide dynamic range for movies that will be processed in postproduction. With minimal loss
of detail in shadows and highlights, movies retain more visual information across the
dynamic range.
To work with Canon Log movies in postproduction, you can apply look-up tables (LUTs).
LUT data can be downloaded from the Canon website.
1. Select [ : Canon Log settings].
2. Select [Canon Log].
325
Canon Log
On
Enables 10-bit recording of Canon Log movies to the card. Movies can also be recorded
to an external device that supports 10-bit recording.
Note
YCbCr 4:2:2 (10-bit) color sampling and the BT.709/BT.2020 color space are used
in Canon Log recording.
327
View Assist.
When played on the camera, these movies may look darker and have lower contrast than
movies recorded with a Picture Style applied, due to Canon Log image characteristics,
which are intended to ensure a wide dynamic range. For clearer display that makes it easier
to check details, set [View Assist.] to [On].
Setting this feature to [On] does not affect movies recorded to the card, which are
recorded using Canon Log characteristics. Similarly, HDMI video output has Canon Log
characteristics, and View Assist is not used for it.
Note
[ ] is shown on the information display screen during movie recording with View
Assist.
When set to [On], View Assist is also used with magnified display.
Color Matrix
Using a color matrix, you can specify how colors are reproduced, to plan for postproduction
processing.
Cinema EOS Original
Reproduces colors equivalent to those of the EOS-1D C.
Neutral
Reproduces colors similar to actual subject colors.
328

329
Shooting Settings
Manually setting the ISO speed to 100–320 will make the dynamic range narrower.
Canon Log offers a dynamic range of approx. 800% at ISO 400 or higher.
ISO 100, 125, 160, 200, 250, and 320 are expanded ISO speeds. [ ] is displayed when
an ISO speed is set.
330
Canon Log Image Quality
With Canon Log, movies may be affected by horizontal banding, depending on the
subject or shooting conditions. Record a few test movies and check the results in
advance. In particular, noise may become more noticeable if you enhance the contrast
when color-grading your movies.
With Canon Log, skies, white walls, and similar subjects may be affected by noise or
uneven gradation, exposure, or colors.
Horizontal banding is more likely to occur when recording somewhat dark, flat subjects.
This image noise may even occur at relatively low ISO speeds around ISO 400.
If noise is noticeable, try recording under brighter conditions and adjusting brightness in
color grading. Noise can also be reduced by recording at ISO speeds lower than ISO
400, although dynamic range is narrower.
Caution
General Canon Log shooting precautions
With Canon Log, autofocusing may be more difficult for subjects under low light, or
for low-contrast subjects.
Noise may appear at image edges if [Peripheral illum corr] in [ : Lens
aberration correction] is set to [Enable] when Canon Log is set.
Canon Log 2 and Canon Log 3 are not supported.
Histograms of images captured with [Canon Log] set to [On] are not based on
images as converted for View Assist display. Image areas shown in gray in the
histogram roughly indicate signal values that are not used.
ISO 100–320 is not available when recording RAW movies with Canon Log set.
Note
Playing movies recorded with Canon Log
View Assist is not used during movie playback.
331
HDR Movie Recording

Caution
HDR movie recording is not available with [ : IS (Image Stabilizer) mode] set to
[ Digital IS], or when set to [ : Time-lapse movie], [ : Highlight tone
priority], [ : Canon Log settings], or [ : HDR PQ settings].
Since multiple frames are merged to create an HDR movie, certain parts of the
movie may look distorted. This is more noticeable in handheld recording affected
by camera shake, so consider using a tripod. Note that even if a tripod is used for
recording, afterimages or noise may become more noticeable, compared to normal
playback, when the HDR movie is played back frame-by-frame or in slow motion.
Image color and brightness may change significantly for a moment if you change
settings for HDR movie recording. Also, the movie will not be updated for a
moment, and the frame stops momentarily. Be aware of this when recording
movies to external devices via HDMI.
Note
The recording size is (NTSC) or (PAL).
333
Time-Lapse Movies
Approx. Time Available for Recording Time-Lapse Movies
Still photos captured at your specified interval can be automatically combined to create an
8K, 4K, or Full HD time-lapse movie. A time-lapse movie shows how a subject changes in a
much shorter period of time than the actual time it took. It is effective for a fixed-point
observation of changing scenery, growing plants, celestial motion, etc.
Time-lapse movies are recorded in MP4 format at the following quality:
(NTSC) / (PAL) in 8K recording, (NTSC) /

Movie Servo AF will not function.
For time-lapse movies in [ ] mode, aperture is fixed and exposure is controlled
using ISO speed.
If the shutter speed is 1/30 sec. or slower, the exposure of the movie may not be
displayed properly (may differ from that of the resulting movie).
Do not zoom the lens during time-lapse movie recording. Zooming the lens may
cause the image to be out of focus, the exposure to change, or the lens aberration
correction not to function properly.
Recording time-lapse movies under flickering light may cause noticeable screen
flickering, and images may be captured with horizontal stripes (noise) or irregular
exposure.
Images displayed as time-lapse movies are recorded may look different from the
resulting movie (in details such as inconsistent brightness from flickering light
sources, or noise from a high ISO speed).
When recording a time-lapse movie under low light, the image displayed during
shooting may look different from what is actually recorded in the movie. In such
cases, the [ ] icon will blink.
If you move the camera from left to right (panning) or shoot a moving subject during
time-lapse movie recording, the image may look extremely distorted.
During time-lapse movie recording, auto power off will not take effect. Also, you

etc.
No sound or time codes are recorded for time-lapse movies.
To start or stop time-lapse movie recording, you can press the shutter button
completely, regardless of the [ : Shutter btn function for movies] setting.
Significant changes in brightness between shots may prevent the camera from
shooting at the specified interval when [Interval] is set to less than 3 sec. and
[Auto exposure] is set to [Each frame].
If the shutter speed exceeds the shooting interval (such as for long exposures), or if
a slow shutter speed is set automatically, the camera may not be able to shoot at
the set interval. Shooting may also be prevented by shooting intervals nearly the
same as the shutter speed.
If the next scheduled shot is not possible, it will be skipped. This may shorten the
recording time of the created time-lapse movie.
If the time it takes to record to the card exceeds the shooting interval due to the
shooting functions set or card performance, some of the shots may not be taken
with the set intervals.
The captured images are not recorded as still photos. Even if you cancel the time-
lapse movie recording after only one shot is taken, it will be recorded as a movie
file.
345
Set [ : Time-lapse movie] to [Disable] if you will connect the camera to a
computer with the interface cable and use EOS Utility (EOS software). Options
other than [Disable] will prevent the camera from communicating with the

351
Caution
Movie digital IS will not function when the lens’s optical Image Stabilizer switch is
set to < >.
With non-IS lenses, setting [ Digital IS] to [On] or [Enhanced] also sets [IS
mode] to [On].
Although movies can also be recorded with Movie digital IS when using EF-S
lenses or movie cropping, the image area is further reduced.
With a lens whose focal length is longer than 1000 mm, Movie digital IS will not
function.
Stabilization by Movie digital IS may be less effective at some movie recording
sizes.
The wider the angle of view (wide angle), the more effective the image stabilization
will be. The narrower the angle of view (telephoto), the less effective the image
stabilization will be.
When using a tripod, setting Movie digital IS to [Off] is recommended.
Depending on the subject and shooting conditions, the subject may blur noticeably
(the subject momentarily looks out of focus) due to the effects of the Movie digital
IS.
Consider setting to [Off] when using a TS-E lens or fish-eye lens.
Since Movie digital IS magnifies the image, the image looks more grainy. Noise,
dots of light, etc. may also become noticeable.
Note
For details on configuring image stabilization for still photo shooting, see Image
Stabilizer (IS Mode).
With some lenses, even more effective stabilization (indicated by “+” next to the IS
icon) is possible when the lens’s IS is used in conjunction with [IS mode] and
[Movie digital IS] on the camera. For details on lenses compatible with this feature,
visit the Canon website.

that of HDMI video output recorded by external devices, depending on the viewing
environment.
373
General Movie Recording Precautions
Caution
Precautions for movie recording
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 you record something that has fine detail, moire or false colors may result.
If [ ] or [ ] is set and the ISO speed or aperture value changes during
movie recording, the white balance may also change.
If you record a movie under fluorescent or LED lighting, the movie image may
flicker.
If you perform AF with a USM lens during movie recording in low light, horizontal
banding noise may be recorded in the movie. The same type of noise may occur if
you focus manually with certain lenses equipped with an electronic focusing ring.
Recording a few test movies is recommended if you intend to perform zooming
during movie recording. Zooming as you record movies may cause exposure
changes or lens sounds to be recorded, an uneven audio level, inaccurate lens
aberration correction, or loss of focus.
Large aperture values may delay or prevent accurate focusing.
Performing AF during movie recording may cause the following kinds of issues:
significant temporary loss of focus, recording of changes in movie brightness,
temporary stopping of movie recording, or recording of mechanical lens sounds.
Avoid covering the built-in microphones with your fingers or other objects.
Connecting or disconnecting an HDMI cable during movie recording will end
recording.
If necessary, also see General Still Photo Shooting Precautions.
The camera may become hot in movie recording while connected via Wi-Fi. Use a
tripod or take other measures to avoid handheld recording.
Red [ ] internal temperature warning icon
If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged movie recording or
under a high ambient temperature, a red [ ] icon will appear.
The red [ ] icon indicates that movie recording will soon be terminated
automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to record again until the
camera’s internal temperature decreases, so turn off the power and let the camera
cool down a while. Note that the time until movie recording stops automatically
when the red [ ] icon is displayed varies depending on shooting conditions.
Recording a movie at a high temperature for a prolonged period will cause the red
[ ] icon to appear earlier. When you are not recording, always turn off the camera.
375
[ ] icon
[ ] may be displayed if repeated movie recording or extended use of Live View
display increases the camera’s internal temperature. Turn off the camera or take
other measures when [ ] is displayed, and wait until the camera cools down.
The camera will turn off automatically if you continue recording while [ ] is
displayed. The camera may also turn off automatically if you continue using Live
View display while [ ] is displayed.
Recording and image quality
If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer and you set the Image Stabilizer switch
to < >, the Image Stabilizer will operate at all times even if you do not press the
shutter button halfway. This will consume battery power, and it may reduce the total
movie recording time. When the Image Stabilizer is not necessary, such as when
using a tripod, it is recommended that you set the Image Stabilizer switch to
<>.
If the brightness changes as you record a movie with auto exposure, the movie
may appear to stop momentarily. In this case, record movies with manual
exposure.
If there is a very bright light source in the image, the bright area may appear black
on the screen. Movies are recorded almost exactly as they appear on the screen.
Image noise or irregular colors may occur when shooting at high ISO speeds, high
temperatures, slow shutter speeds, or under low light. Movies are recorded almost
exactly as they appear on the screen, except in time-lapse movie recording or with
Canon Log View Assist.
Video and audio quality of recorded movies may be worse on other devices, and
playback may not be possible, even if the devices support MP4 formats.
If you use a card with a slow writing speed, an indicator may appear on the right
of the screen during movie recording. The indicator shows how much data has
not yet been written to the card (remaining capacity of the internal buffer
memory), and it increases more quickly the slower the card is. If the indicator (1)
becomes full, movie recording will stop automatically.
If the card has a fast writing speed, the indicator will not appear or the level (if
displayed) will not increase much. First, record a few test movies to see if the card
can write fast enough.
If the indicator shows that the card is full, and movie recording stops automatically,
the sound near the end of the movie may not be recorded properly.
If the card’s writing speed is slow (due to fragmentation) and the indicator appears,
formatting the card may make the writing speed faster.
376
Audio restrictions
Note that the following restrictions apply in [ ] mode when [ : Movie rec
quality] is set to (NTSC) or (PAL), or when [ :
Audio compression] is set to [Enable].
• Sound will not be recorded for approx. the last two frames.
• When you play back movies in Windows, movie images and sound may
become slightly out of synchronization.
Note
Notes for movie recording
Each time you record a movie, a new movie file is created on the card.
Field of view (coverage) is approx. 100%.
Focusing is also possible by pressing the < > button.
To enable starting/stopping movie recording by pressing the shutter button
completely, set [Fully-press] for [ : Shutter btn function for movies] to [Start/
stop mov rec] ( ).
The built-in microphone ( ) records in mono.
Any external microphones such as Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold
separately) connected to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal are used
instead of the build-in microphones ( ).
Most external microphones equipped with a 3.5 mm mini-jack can be used.
Focus preset during movie recording is available when using (super) telephoto
lenses equipped with this function released in and after the second half of 2011.
YCbCr 4:2:0 (8-bit) color sampling and the BT.709 color space are used for 8K
(except RAW), 4K, and Full HD movies.

: +Tracking
The camera detects and focuses on faces of people or animals. An AF point [ ] appears
over any face detected, which is then tracked.
If no face is detected, the entire AF area is used for auto selection AF.
390
: Expand AF area:
Focuses using one AF point [ ] and AF points outlined here in blue. Effective for moving
subjects, which are difficult to track with 1-point AF.
Focusing on your preferred subject is easier than with Zone AF.
When Servo AF is used, first you will focus using an AF point [ ].
: Expand AF area: Around
Focuses using one AF point [ ] and surrounding AF points outlined here in blue, which
makes it easier to focus on moving subjects than with Expand AF area: . Servo AF
operation is the same as for Expand AF area: .
392
: Zone AF
Uses auto selection AF in Zone AF frames to cover a larger area than Expand AF area,
which makes focusing easier than with Expand AF area.
Focusing areas are determined not only based on the nearest subject but also based on a
variety of other conditions such as faces (of people or animals), subject motion, and subject
distance.
AF points in focus are displayed with [ ].
: Large Zone AF: Vertical
Uses auto selection AF in a vertical Large Zone AF frame to cover a larger area than Zone
AF, which makes focusing easier than with 1-point AF/Expand AF area and also effective for
moving subjects.
Focusing areas are determined not only based on the nearest subject but also based on a
variety of other conditions such as faces (of people or animals), subject motion, and subject
distance.
AF points in focus are displayed with [ ].
393

Zone AF or Large Zone AF (vertical or horizontal) is set to Servo AF, but tracking
may not be possible under some shooting conditions, such as when subjects are
small.
Focusing may be difficult when using a peripheral AF point. In this case, select an
AF point in the center.
Tapping the screen to focus will focus with [One-Shot AF], regardless of the AF
operation setting.
Note
With [ : Orientation linked AF point], you can set separate AF points for
vertical and horizontal shooting ( ).
405
Magnified View
To check the focus when the AF method is other than [ +Tracking], magnify display by
approx. 6× or 15× by pressing the <> button (or tapping [ ]).
Magnification is centered on the AF point for [Spot AF], [1-point AF], [Expand AF area:
], and [Expand AF area: Around] and on the Zone AF frame for [Zone AF], [Large
Zone AF: Vertical], and [Large Zone AF: Horizontal].
Autofocusing is performed with magnified display if you press the shutter button halfway
when set to [Spot AF], and [1-point AF]. When set to AF methods other than [Spot AF]
and [1-point AF], autofocusing is performed after restoring normal display.
With Servo AF, if you press the shutter button halfway in the magnified view, the camera
will return to the normal view for focusing.
Caution
If focusing is difficult in the magnified view, return to the normal view and perform
AF.
If you perform AF in the normal view and then use the magnified view, accurate
focus may not be achieved.
AF speed differs between the normal view and magnified view.
Continuous AF and Movie Servo AF are not available when display is magnified.
With the magnified view, achieving focus becomes more difficult due to camera
shake. Using a tripod is recommended.
406
AF Shooting Tips
Even when focus is achieved, pressing the shutter button halfway will focus again.
Image brightness may change before and after autofocusing.
Depending on the subject and shooting conditions, it may take longer to focus, or the
continuous shooting speed may decrease.
If the light source changes as you shoot, the screen may flicker, and focusing may be
difficult. In this case, restart the camera and resume shooting with AF under the light
source you will use.
If focusing is not possible with AF, focus manually ( ).
For subjects at the edge of the screen that are slightly out of focus, try centering the
subject (or AF point, or Zone AF frame) to bring them into focus, then recompose the
shot before shooting.
With certain lenses, it may take more time to achieve focus with autofocus, or accurate
focusing may not be achieved.
407
Shooting Conditions That Make Focusing Difficult
Subject with low-contrast such as the blue sky, solid-color flat surfaces or when highlight
or shadow details are clipped.
Subjects in low light.
Stripes and other patterns where there is contrast only in the horizontal direction.
Subjects with repetitive patterns (Example: Skyscraper windows, computer keyboards,
etc.).
Fine lines and subject outlines.
Under light sources with constantly changing brightness, colors, or patterns.
Night scenes or points of light.
The image flickers under fluorescent or LED lighting.
Extremely small subjects.
Subjects at the edge of the screen.
Strongly backlit or reflective subjects (Example: Car with a highly reflective surfaces,
etc.).
Near and distant subjects covered by an AF point (Example: Animal in a cage, etc.).
Subjects that keep moving within the AF point and will not stay still due to camera shake
or subject blur.
Performing AF when the subject is very far out of focus.
Soft focus effect is applied with a soft focus lens.
A special effect filter is used.
Noise (dots of light, banding, etc.) appears on the screen during AF.
408
AF Range
The available autofocus range varies depending on the lens, aspect ratio, and image quality
used, and whether you are recording 4K or 8K movies and using features such as movie
cropping or Movie digital IS.
409
Continuous AF
This function keeps subjects generally in focus. The camera is ready to focus immediately
when you press the shutter button halfway.
1. Select [ : Continuous AF].
2. Select [Enable].
Caution
Fewer shots are available when set to [Enable], because the lens is driven
continuously and battery power is consumed.

412
Caution
Precautions when set to [Movie Servo AF: Enable]
Shooting conditions that make focusing difficult
• A fast-moving subject approaching or moving away from the camera.
• A subject moving at a close distance to the camera.
• When shooting with a higher aperture value.
• Also see Shooting Conditions That Make Focusing Difficult.
Since the lens is driven continuously and the battery power is consumed, the
possible movie recording time ( ) will be shortened.
The camera’s built-in microphone may also record mechanical sounds of the lens
or sounds of camera/lens operations if AF operations are performed or the camera
or lens is operated during movie recording. In this case, using an external
microphone may reduce these sounds. If the sounds are still distracting with an
external microphone, it may be more effective to remove the external microphone
from the camera and position it away from the camera and lens.
Movie Servo AF pauses during zooming or magnified view.
During movie recording, if a subject approaches or moves away or if the camera is
moved vertically or horizontally (panning), the recorded image may momentarily
expand or contract (change in image magnification).
413
Positioning Method
You can set how positions are specified by tapping or dragging.
1. Set [Positioning method].
Absolute
The AF point moves to the tapped or dragged position on the screen.
Relative
The AF point moves in the direction you drag, by an amount
corresponding to the amount you drag, no matter where you tap the
screen.

Moving subjects in general,
especially in dynamic shooting
situations
427
Case 1: Versatile Multi-Purpose Setting
Default
• Tracking sensitivity: 0
• Accel./decel. tracking: 0
Standard setting suited to moving subjects in general. Suitable for many kinds of subjects
and scenes.
In the following situations, select [Case 2] to [Case 4] instead: non-subjects moving across
AF points, elusive subjects, or subjects that suddenly appear or change speed.
428
Case 2: Continue to Track Subjects, Ignoring Possible
Obstacles
Default
• Tracking sensitivity: Locked on: –1
• Accel./decel. tracking: 0
Setting to continue focusing on the subject even if non-subjects move across AF points, or if
the subject strays from AF points. Effective if you prefer the focus not to switch to non-
subjects or the background.
Note
Try setting [Tracking sensitivity] to [–2] if non-subjects tend to steal the focus or
AF points tend to stray from the subject much of the time, preventing the camera
from tracking the target subject under default settings ( ).
429
Case 3: Instantly Focus on Subjects Suddenly Entering
AF Points
Default
• Tracking sensitivity: Responsive: +1
• Accel./decel. tracking: +1
Setting to focus on a series of subjects at different distances in the AF points, one after
another. Focus switches to any new subject that appears in front of the target subject. Also
effective when you want to always focus on the closest subject.
Note
Try setting [Tracking sensitivity] to [+2] if you prefer focusing that immediately
switches to new subjects that appear suddenly ( ).
430
Case 4: For Subjects That Accelerate or Decelerate
Quickly
Default
• Tracking sensitivity: Responsive: 0
• Accel./decel. tracking: +1
Setting to keep tracking and focusing on subjects even if they suddenly change speed.
Effective for subjects having sudden movements, sudden acceleration/deceleration, or
sudden stops.
Note
Try setting [Accel./decel. tracking] to [+2] to keep up with subjects that change
speed significantly from moment to moment ( ).
431
Case A: Tracking Automatically Adapts to Subject
Movement
Useful when you prefer to shoot with parameters set automatically, based on how subjects
change.
Tracking sensitivity and acceleration/deceleration tracking are set automatically.
432
Parameters
Tracking sensitivity
Setting for Servo AF subject-tracking sensitivity in response to non-subjects moving across
AF points or subjects straying from AF points.
0
Standard setting. Suitable for moving subjects in general.
Locked on: –2 / Locked on: –1
The camera will try to continue focusing on the subject even if non-subjects move
across AF points or if the subject strays from the AF points. The –2 setting makes the
camera keep tracking the target subject longer than the –1 setting.
However, if the camera focuses on a wrong subject, it may take slightly longer to switch
and focus on the target subject.
Responsive: +2 / Responsive: +1
The camera can focus consecutively on subjects at different distances that are covered
by the AF points. Also effective when you want to always focus on the closest subject.
The +2 setting is more responsive than the +1 setting when focusing on the next
subject.
However, the camera will be more prone to focus on an unintended subject.
433
Accel./decel. tracking
Setting for AI Servo AF/Servo AF subject-tracking sensitivity in response to sudden,
significant changes in speed, as when subjects suddenly start or stop moving.
0
Suited for subjects that move at a steady speed (minor changes in moving speed).
–2 / –1
Suited for subjects that move at a steady speed (minor changes in moving speed).
Effective when a setting of 0 makes focus unstable, due to slight subject movement or
an obstruction in front of the subject.
+2 / +1
Effective for subjects having sudden movements, sudden acceleration/deceleration, or
sudden stops. Even if the moving subject’s speed suddenly changes significantly, the
camera continues to focus on the target subject. For example, the camera is less likely
to focus behind a subject that suddenly starts approaching you, or in front of an
approaching subject that suddenly stops moving. Setting +2 can track dramatic changes
in the moving subject’s speed better than with +1.
However, since the camera will be sensitive to even slight movements of the subject,
focusing may become unstable for short periods.
434
Adjusting Case Parameters

shooting with Touch Shutter).
[ ] Focus
The picture will not be taken until focus is achieved. Useful when you want to achieve
focus before capturing the image.
[ ] Release
Prioritizes shutter release over focus. Useful when capturing the decisive moment is
most important.
Note that the camera shoots whether or not the subject is in focus.
439
Switching tracked subjects
You can specify how easily the camera switches AF points to track subjects.
Applies to Face+Tracking, Zone AF, or Large Zone AF (vertical or horizontal) AF methods.
•Disable
Tracks the subject initially determined for AF, to the extent possible.
•Enable (slow)
Tracks the main subject initially determined for AF, to the extent possible. Switches to
other subjects if the camera can no longer determine if the tracked subject is the main
subject.
•Enable
Switches to track other subjects in response to shooting conditions.
Caution
Precautions when set to [Disable]
The camera may not be able to continue tracking subjects under some subject
conditions.
• If subjects move vigorously
• If subjects face a different direction or change their posture
• If AF points stray from subjects, or if subjects are hidden behind obstructions
and you can no longer see them
Subjects selected by touch are tracked to the extent possible, regardless of the
[Subject to detect] setting.
440
Lens drive when AF impossible
You can specify lens operation that applies when autofocusing on a subject is not possible.
[ ] Continue focus search
If focus cannot be achieved with autofocus, the lens is driven to search for the precise
focus.
[ ] Stop focus search
If autofocus starts and the focus is far off or if focus cannot be achieved, the lens drive
will not be performed. This prevents the lens from becoming grossly out of focus due to
the focus search drive.
Caution
[Stop focus search] is recommended for super telephoto lenses or other lenses
that are driven over a large focus area, to avoid significant delay from focus search
drive if the lens becomes greatly out of focus.

[AF3] (In Movie Recording)
Movie Servo AF speed
This function is available when [ : Movie Servo AF] is set to [Enable].
You can set the AF speed and operating conditions for Movie Servo AF. The function is
enabled when using a lens supporting slow focus transition during movie recording.*
When active
You can set [Always on] to have the AF speed take effect at all times for movie
recording (before and during movie recording) or set [During shooting] to have the AF
speed take effect only during movie recording.
AF speed
You can adjust the AF speed (focus transition speed) from the standard speed (0) to
slow (one of seven levels) or fast (one of two levels) to obtain the desired effect for the
movie creation.
* Lenses supporting slow focus transition during movie recording
USM and STM lenses released in and after 2009 are compatible. For details, refer to the
Canon website.
Caution
With certain lenses, even if you adjust the AF speed, the speed may not change.
448
Note
Operation when inactive is equivalent to when [AF speed] is set to [Standard (0)].
An asterisk “*” to the right of [ : Movie Servo AF speed] indicates that the
default setting has been modified.
Movie Servo AF track sens.
You can adjust the tracking sensitivity (to one of seven levels), which affects responsiveness
if the subject strays from the AF point during Movie Servo AF, as when interfering objects
move across AF points or when you pan.
This function is available when [ : Movie Servo AF] is set to [Enable].
Locked on: –3/–2/–1
With this setting, the camera is less likely to track a different subject if the subject strays
from the AF point. The closer the setting is to the minus (–) symbol, the less the camera
is inclined to track a different subject. It is effective when you want to prevent the AF
points from rapidly tracking something that is not the intended subject during panning or
when an obstacle cuts across the AF points.
Responsive: +1/+2/+3
This makes the camera more responsive when tracking a subject that covers the AF
point. The closer the setting is to the plus (+) symbol, the more responsive the camera
is. It is effective when you want to keep tracking a moving subject as its distance from
the camera changes or to rapidly focus on another subject.

Lens aberr correction
• Peripheral illum corr ( )
A phenomenon that makes the image corners look darker due to the lens
characteristics can be corrected. If [Enable] is set, the corrected image will be
displayed. If the effect is difficult to discern, magnify the image ( ) and check the
four corners. Less correction is applied than for maximum correction with Digital
Photo Professional (EOS software, ). If the effects of correction are not apparent,
use Digital Photo Professional to apply the peripheral illumination correction.
• Distortion correction ( )
Image distortion due to lens characteristics can be corrected. If [Enable] is set, the
corrected image will be displayed. The image periphery will be trimmed in the
corrected image.
Since the image resolution may look slightly lower, adjust the sharpness with the
Picture Style’s sharpness parameter setting as necessary.
• Digital Lens Optimizer ( )
Correct lens aberration, diffraction, and low-pass filter-induced loss of resolution by
applying optical design values. To check the effect of setting this option to [High] or
[Standard], use magnified view ( ). Without magnification, the effect when Digital
Lens Optimizer is set to [High] is not applied. Selecting [High] or [Standard]
corrects both chromatic aberration and diffraction, although these options are not
displayed.
• Chromatic aberr corr ( )
Chromatic aberrations (color fringing along the subject’s outline) due to the lens
characteristics can be corrected. If [Enable] is set, the corrected image will be
displayed. If the effect is difficult to discern, magnify the image ( ).
541
• Diffraction correction ( )
The diffraction by the lens aperture degrading the image sharpness can be
corrected. If [Enable] is set, the corrected image will be displayed. If the effect is
difficult to discern, magnify the image ( ).
Caution
Processing RAW images in the camera will not produce exactly the same results
as processing RAW images with Digital Photo Professional (EOS software).
If you perform [Brightness adjustment], noise, banding, etc. may be intensified
with the effects of adjustment.
When [Digital Lens Optimizer] is set, noise may be intensified together with the
effects of correction.
When [Digital Lens Optimizer] is set, image edges may be emphasized, under
some shooting conditions. Adjust sharpness of the Picture Style as needed.
Processing with [Digital Lens Optimizer] set to [High] may take some time.
Note
Effects of lens aberration correction vary by lens and by shooting conditions. Also,
the effect may be difficult to discern depending on the lens used, shooting
conditions, etc.
RAW movies cannot be processed. Process them with Digital Photo Professional
(EOS software).

571
[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), with the horizontal axis indicating the
color’s brightness level (darker on the left and brighter on the right) and the vertical axis
indicating the pixel count at 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 corresponding color information will be lacking, and if there are too many pixels
on the right, the color will be too saturated, without gradation. By checking the image’s
RGB histogram, you can see the color’s saturation and gradation conditions, as well as
the white balance bias.

Wireless Communication Function Precautions
If the transmission rate drops, the connection is lost, or other problems occur when using the
wireless communication functions, try the following corrective actions.
Distance between the camera and the smartphone
If the camera is too far from the smartphone, a Wi-Fi connection may not be established
even when Bluetooth connection is possible. In this case, bring the camera and the
smartphone closer together, then establish a Wi-Fi connection.
Installation location of access point antenna
When using indoors, install the device in the room where you are using the camera.
Install the device where people or objects do not come between the device and the
camera.
Nearby electronic devices
If the Wi-Fi transmission rate drops because of the influence of the following electronic
devices, stop using them or move further away from the devices to transmit communication.
The camera communicates over Wi-Fi via IEEE 802.11b/g/n using radio waves in the
2.4 GHz band. For this reason, the Wi-Fi transmission rate will drop if there are
Bluetooth devices, microwave ovens, cordless telephones, microphones, smartphones,
other cameras, or similar devices operating on the same frequency band nearby.
Precautions for using multiple cameras
When connecting multiple cameras to one access point via Wi-Fi, make sure the
cameras’ IP addresses are different.
When multiple cameras are connected to one access point via Wi-Fi, the transmission
rate drops.
When there are multiple IEEE 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz band) access points, leave a gap of
five channels between each Wi-Fi channel to reduce radio wave interference. For
example, use channels 1, 6, and 11, channels 2 and 7, or channels 3 and 8.
Using wireless remote control BR-E1
BR-E1 cannot be used while the camera and smartphone are paired via Bluetooth.
Change the camera connection to the wireless remote control in [Connect to Wireless
Remote] under [ : Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connection].
719
Security
If security settings have not been properly set, the following problems may occur.
Transmission monitoring
Third parties with malicious intent may monitor wireless LAN transmissions and attempt
to acquire the data you are sending.
Unauthorized network access
Third parties with malicious intent may gain unauthorized access to the network you are
using to steal, modify, or destroy information. Additionally, you could fall victim to other
types of unauthorized access such as impersonation (where someone assumes an
identity to gain access to unauthorized information) or springboard attacks (where
someone gains unauthorized access to your network as a springboard to cover their
tracks when infiltrating other systems).
It is recommended to make use of the systems and functions to thoroughly secure your
network, preventing these types of problems from occurring.
720
Checking Network Settings
Windows
Open the Windows [Command Prompt], then enter ipconfig/all and press the <Enter> key.
In addition to the IP address assigned to the computer, the subnet mask, gateway, and DNS
server information are also displayed.
macOS
In macOS, open the [Terminal] application, enter ifconfig -a, and press the <Return> key.
The IP address assigned to the computer is indicated in the [enX] item (X: number) next to
[inet], in the format “***.***.***.***”.

(1) Number of images in folder
(2) Lowest file number
(3) Folder name
(4) Highest file number
Select a folder on the folder selection screen.
Captured images are stored in your selected folder.
Note
Folders
Folders are named as in “100EOSR5,” with a three-digit folder number followed by
five letters or numbers. 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 ( ) 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 with “DCIM” as the name.
Open the DCIM folder and create as many folders as necessary to save and
organize your images. “100ABC_D” is the required format for folder names, and
the first three digits must be a folder number in the range 100–999. 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 remaining five characters in each name
are different.
739
2. Set the item.
Select [Numbering].
Select [Continuous] or [Auto reset].
If you want to reset the file numbering, select [Manual reset] ( ).
Select [OK] to create a new folder, and the file number will start with

displayed, switch to a new card.
741
Continuous
For continuous file numbering regardless of switching cards or
creating folders
File numbering is continuous up to 9999, even if you replace a card, create a folder, or
switch the target card (as in → ). 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.
Note that file numbering may continue from any existing images in cards or folders that you
switch to. If you want to use continuous file numbering, it is recommended that you use a
newly formatted card each time.

This is useful, for example, if you want to use different folders for the images taken
yesterday and the ones taken today.
744
File Naming
File names consist of four alphanumeric characters followed by a four-digit file number ( )
and file extension. You can change the first four alphanumeric characters, which by default
are unique for each camera and set when the camera is shipped.
User setting 1 enables you to register four characters of your choice. User setting 2 adds
three initial, registered characters of your choice to a fourth character representing the
image size that is added automatically after you shoot.
(Example)
Registering/Changing File Names
1. Select [ : File name].
2. Select [Change User setting*].
745
3. Enter letters and numbers of your choice.
Enter four characters for User setting 1 or three for User setting 2.
By selecting [ ], you can change the input mode.
To delete single characters, select [ ] or press the < > button.
Use the < > dial or < > to select a character, then press < > to
enter it.
4. Exit the setting.
Press the < > button, then press [OK].
746
5. Select a registered file name.
Select [File name], then choose a registered file name.

fourth character. Meanings of added characters are as follows.
“***L”: , , , or
“***M”: or
“***S”: or
“***T”:
“***C”:
The automatically added fourth character enables you to determine image sizes
without opening the files after transferring them to a computer. Based on file
extensions, you can also distinguish RAW, JPEG, and HEIF images.
Movies recorded with User setting 2 are named with the fourth character as an
underscore.
747
Formatting
If the card is new or was previously formatted (initialized) by another camera or computer,
format the card with this camera.
Caution
When the card is formatted, all images and data on the card will be erased.
Even protected images will be erased, so make sure there is nothing you
need to keep. If necessary, transfer the images and data to a computer, etc.
before formatting the card.
1. Select [ : Format card].

Conditions requiring card formatting
The card is new.
The card was formatted by a different camera or a computer.
The card is full of images or data.
A card-related error is displayed ( ).
Low-level formatting
Perform low-level formatting if the card’s writing or reading speed seems slow or if you
want to totally erase the data on the card.
Since low-level formatting will format all recordable sectors on the card, the formatting
will take longer than normal formatting.
During low-level formatting, you can cancel formatting by selecting [Cancel]. Even in
this case, normal formatting will already be complete and you can use the card as usual.
Card file formats
CFexpress cards are exFAT formatted.
SD/SDHC cards will be formatted in FAT32. SDXC cards will be formatted in exFAT.
Individual movies recorded to exFAT-formatted cards are recorded as a single file
(without splitting them into multiple files) even if they exceed 4 GB, so the resulting
movie file will exceed 4 GB.
Caution
It may not be possible to use cards formatted with this camera in other cameras.
Also note that exFAT-formatted cards may not be recognized by some computer
operating systems or card readers.
Formatting or erasing data on a card does not completely erase the data. Be aware
of this when selling or discarding the card. When disposing of cards, take steps to
protect personal information if necessary, as by physically destroying cards.
Note
The card capacity displayed on the card format screen may be smaller than the
capacity indicated on the card.
This device incorporates exFAT technology licensed from Microsoft.

Set the power switch to < >.
Note
Using the household power outlet accessories (sold separately) is recommended.
Caution
While cleaning the sensor, never do any of the following. If the power is cut
off, the shutter will close. These may result in damaging the image sensor
and shutter curtains.
•Setting the power switch to < >.
•Removing or inserting the battery.
The surface of the image sensor is extremely delicate. Clean the sensor with care.

Adding cropping information displays vertical lines for the aspect ratio specified in shooting,
so that you can compose shots as if shooting with a medium- or large-format camera (6×6
cm, 4×5 inch, and so on).
When you shoot, instead of cropping images recorded to the card, the camera adds aspect
ratio information to images for cropping in the Digital Photo Professional (EOS software).
You can import images to Digital Photo Professional on a computer and easily crop images
to the aspect ratio set at the time of shooting.
OFF: Disable
6:6: Aspect ratio 6:6
