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. Also attach the
shoe cover to the multi-function shoe.
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.
26
Avoid storing the camera where there are chemicals that result in rust and corrosion
such as in a chemical lab.
If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions before
using it. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is an important shoot
such as a foreign trip coming up, have the camera checked by your nearest Canon
Service Center or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.
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.
When shooting with backlighting, keep the sun sufficiently away from the angle of view.
Always keep intense light sources such as the sun, lasers, and other intense artificial
light sources out of the image area and not near it. Concentrated intense light may
cause smoke or damage the image sensor or other internal components.
Attach the lens cap to prevent direct sunlight and other light from entering the lens when
you are not shooting.
Screen and viewfinder
The following does not affect images captured by the camera.
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.
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.

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).
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 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.
Long-term battery storage
Charge about once a year.
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.

1. Set the Mode dial to < >.
2. Press the < > button.
Read the message and select [OK].
95
3. Aim the camera at what you will shoot (the subject).
An AF point (1) may be displayed on the subject, under some shooting
conditions.
When an AF point is displayed on the screen, aim it over the subject.
4. Focus on the subject.
Press the shutter button halfway to focus.
You can also focus by tapping a person's face or other subject on the
screen (Touch AF).
Under low light, the AF-assist beam ( ) is automatically activated if
needed.
Once the subject is in focus, that AF point turns green and the camera
beeps (One-Shot AF).
An AF point in focus on a moving subject turns blue and tracks subject
movement (Servo AF).
96
5. Take the picture.
Press the shutter button completely to take the picture.
The image just captured will be displayed for approx. 2 sec. on the
screen.
Caution
Subject movement (whether subjects are still or moving) may not be detected
correctly for some subject or shooting conditions.
Note
AF operation (One-Shot AF or Servo AF) is set automatically when you press the
shutter button halfway. Even when automatically set to One-Shot AF, the camera
will switch to Servo AF if subject motion is detected while you are pressing the
shutter button halfway.
The < > mode makes the colors look more impressive in nature, outdoor, and
sunset scenes. If you do not obtain the desired color tones, change the mode to a
Creative Zone mode ( ) and select a Picture Style other than [ ], then shoot
again ( ).
Minimizing blurred photos
Be careful about camera shake in handheld shots. To avoid camera shake, consider
using a tripod. Use a sturdy tripod that can bear the weight of the shooting equipment.
Attach the camera securely to the tripod.
Consider using a remote switch (sold separately, ) or wireless remote control (sold
separately, ).
97
FAQ
Focusing is not possible (indicated by an orange AF point).
Aim the AF point over an area with good contrast, then press the shutter button halfway
( ). If you are too close to the subject, move away and shoot again.
Multiple AF points are displayed simultaneously.
Focus has been achieved at all those points.
The shutter speed display is blinking.
Since it is too dark, taking the picture may result in a blurred subject due to camera
shake. Using a tripod or a Canon EL/EX series Speedlite (sold separately, ) is
recommended.
The bottom of pictures taken with flash is unnaturally dark.
If a hood is attached to the lens, it may obstruct light from the flash. If the subject is
close, detach the hood before taking the picture with flash.
Note
Note the following if you are not using flash.
• Under low light, when camera shake tends to occur, hold the camera steady or
use a tripod. When using a zoom lens, you can reduce the blur caused by
camera shake by setting the lens to the wide-angle end.
• When shooting portraits under low light, tell subjects to stay still until you have
finished shooting. Any movement as you shoot will make the person look blurry
in the picture.
Shooting Moving Subjects
Pressing the shutter button halfway tracks moving subjects to keep them in focus.
Keep the subject on the screen as you hold down the shutter button halfway, and at the
decisive moment, press the shutter button completely.

104
Portrait Mode
Use [ ] (Portrait) mode to blur the background and make the person you shoot stand out. It
also makes skin tones and hair look softer.
Shooting tips
Select the location where the distance between the subject and the background is
the farthest.
The further the distance between the subject and background, the more blurred the
background will look. The subject will also stand out better against an uncluttered dark
background.
Use a telephoto lens.
If you have a zoom lens, use the telephoto end to fill the frame with the subject from the
waist up.
Focus on the face.
As you focus before shooting, make sure the AF point on the subject's face is green.
When shooting close-ups of faces, you can set [ : Eye detection] to [Enable] to
shoot with the subject's eyes in focus.
Shoot continuously.
The default setting is [ ] (Low speed continuous). If you keep holding down the shutter
button, you can shoot continuously to capture changes in the subject's facial expression
and pose.
106
Group Photo Mode
Use [ ] (Group Photo) mode to take group photos. You can shoot with people from the
front to the back all in focus.
Shooting tips
Use a wide-angle lens.
With zoom lenses, zooming out near the wide-angle end makes it easier to focus on
everyone in front and back at once. You can also increase the depth of field by standing
a little farther away from subjects, so that they fit completely in the frame.
Take a few shots of the group.
It is a good idea to take a few shots, because people sometimes blink.
Note
Hold the camera steady or use a tripod when shooting indoors or under low light.
Caution
The angle of view changes slightly, due to distortion correction.
Not all people may be in focus, depending on shooting conditions.
107
Landscape Mode
Use [ ] (Landscape) mode for expansive scenery, to keep everything in focus from near to
far. For vivid blues and greens, and sharp and crisp images.
Shooting tips
With a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end.
When using a zoom lens, set the lens to the wide-angle end to make the objects near
and far in focus. It also adds breadth to landscapes.
Keep the camera steady when shooting night scenes.
Using a tripod is recommended.
Caution
Flash photography is not available.
108
Panoramic Shot Mode
Use [ ] (Panoramic Shot) mode to shoot panoramas. The panorama is created by
combining shots captured in continuous shooting as you move the camera in one direction
while pressing the shutter button completely.
1. Choose a shooting direction.
Press the < > button or tap [ ] in the lower right to choose the
direction you will shoot.
An arrow is displayed showing the direction to move the camera.

speed in the direction of the arrow.
The area displayed clearly (1) is captured.
A shooting progress indicator (2) is displayed.
Shooting stops when you release the shutter button, or when all of the
progress indicator is white.
Caution
In some scenes, images you intended to capture may not be saved as expected,
and the panorama may not look as expected.
Shooting may stop midway if you move the camera too slowly or quickly. However,
the panorama created up to that point will still be saved.
In consideration of the large sizes of < > mode images, use a computer or other
device to resize panorama images if you will print them from a memory card
inserted in a Canon printer.
If panoramas cannot be managed correctly by software or Web services, try
resizing them on a computer.
Shots of the following subjects and scenes may not be combined correctly.
• Subjects in motion
• Subjects at close range
• Scenes where the contrast varies greatly
• Scenes with long stretches of the same color or pattern, such as the sea or sky
Shooting is not affected by any correction applied to counteract blur from swinging
the camera.
Move the camera slowly when using a lens with a long focal length, or when
shooting night scenes or under low light.
Lens image stabilization is not applied.
110
Sports Mode
Use [ ] (Sports) mode to shoot subjects in motion, such as runners or moving vehicles.
Shooting tips
Use a telephoto lens.
Use of a telephoto lens is recommended to enable shooting from a distance.
Track the subject with the Area AF frame.
An Area AF frame appears after you press the shutter button halfway. Once the subject
is in focus, the AF point turns blue.
Shoot continuously.
The default setting is [ ] (High speed continuous). At the decisive moment, press the
shutter button completely to take the picture. To track the subject and capture changes
as it moves, keep holding down the shutter button to shoot continuously.
Caution
Under low light where camera shake tends to occur, the shutter speed value in the
lower left will blink. Hold the camera steady and shoot.
Flash photography is not available.
111
Kids Mode
Use [ ] (Kids) mode to capture active children who are moving around. Skin tones will look
vibrant.
Shooting tips
Track the subject with the Area AF frame.
By default, [ : AF area] is set to [Whole area AF]. Area AF frames (1) appear when
you press the shutter button halfway. Once the subject is in focus, the AF point turns
blue.
Shoot continuously.
The default setting is [ ] (High speed continuous). At the decisive moment, press the
shutter button completely to take the picture. To track the subject and capture changes
in facial expression and movement, keep holding down the shutter button to shoot
continuously.
Caution
Using an external flash unit will reduce the continuous shooting speed.
112
Panning Mode
By panning, you can blur the background to convey a sense of speed.
Attach a lens compatible with [ ] (Panning) mode to reduce subject blurring and keep
subjects clear and sharp.
Shooting tips
Turn the camera to follow the moving subject.
As you shoot, turn the camera smoothly while tracking the moving subject. With the AF
point over the part of the moving subject to focus on, press the shutter button halfway,
start turning the camera to keep up with the subject, then press the shutter button
completely to shoot. Continue tracking the subject with the camera after this.
Set the level of background motion blur.
In [Effect], you can set the level of background motion blur. Set to [Effect: max] for a
slower shutter speed and more background motion blur around subjects. If subject blur
is excessive, reduce it by setting [Effect] to [Effect: med] or [Effect: min].
113
Caution
For details on lenses compatible with [ ] mode, visit the Canon website ( ).
Shutter speeds are slower. For this reason, Panning mode is not suitable unless
you pan as you shoot.
AF area options are limited to [1-point AF], [Flexible Zone AF 1], [Flexible Zone
AF 2], and [Flexible Zone AF 3].
The default setting is [ ]. Note that [ ] is not available.
Flash photography is not available.
Although lens IS is applied to images captured with lenses supporting [ ] mode,
the effect is not shown on the screen as you shoot. (IS and subject blur correction
are activated when you shoot, regardless of the lens IS setting.)
With lenses that do not support [ ] mode, subject blur is not reduced, but shutter
speed is automatically adjusted to match the [Effect] setting.
Your specified panning effect level may not be applied when shooting under bright
light (such as on sunny summer days), or when shooting slow subjects.
The following subjects or shooting conditions may prevent suitable subject blur
correction with lenses supporting [ ] mode.
• Subjects with very low contrast.
• Subjects in low light.
• Strongly backlit or reflective subjects.
• Subjects with repetitive patterns.
• Subjects with few patterns, or with monotone patterns.
• Subjects with reflections (such as images reflected in glass).
• Subjects smaller than the Zone AF frame.
• Multiple subjects moving within a Zone AF frame.
• Subjects moving in irregular directions or at irregular speeds.
• Subjects that sometimes move erratically (such as runners who move up and
down as they run).
• Subjects with significant changes in speed (such as immediately after initial
movement, or when moving along a curve).
• When the camera moves too quickly or slowly.
• When camera movement does not match subject movement.
• With long lens focal lengths.
114
Close-up Mode
Use [ ] (Close-up) mode for close-ups of small subjects such as flowers. To make small
things appear much larger, use a macro lens (sold separately).
Shooting tips
Use a simple background.
A simple background makes small objects such as flowers stand out better.
Move in as close as possible to the subject.
Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. The lens minimum focusing distance
is measured from the < > (focal plane) mark on the top of the camera to the subject.
Focusing is not possible if you are too close.
With a zoom lens, use the telephoto end.
If you have a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the subject look larger.
115
Food Mode
Use [ ] (Food) mode for culinary photography. The photo will look bright and appetizing.
Also, the reddish tinge due to the light source will be suppressed in the pictures taken under
tungsten lights, etc.
Shooting tips
Change the color tone.
[Color tone] can be adjusted. To increase the reddish tinge of food, set toward [Warm
tone] (red), or set toward [Cool tone] (blue) if it looks too red.
Caution
The warm color cast of subjects may fade.
When multiple light sources are included in the scene, the warm color cast of the
picture may not be reduced.
In flash photography, [Color tone] switches to the standard setting.
If there are people in the picture, the skin tone may not be reproduced properly.
116
Night Portrait Mode
Use [ ] (Night Portrait) mode for bright, beautiful shots of people with night scenes in the
background. Note that shooting in this mode requires an external flash unit. Using a tripod
is recommended.
Shooting tips
Use a wide-angle lens and a tripod.
When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to obtain a wide night view. Because
camera shake occurs in handheld shooting, using a tripod is also recommended.
Check the image brightness.
It is recommended to play back the captured image on location to check the image
brightness. If the subject looks dark, move nearer and shoot again.
Also shoot in other shooting modes.
Consider also shooting in < > and [ ] mode, because shots are more likely to be
blurry.
Caution
Tell subjects to remain still for a moment after the flash fires.
Focusing may be difficult if subject faces look dark when you shoot. In this case,
set the focus mode to MF ( ) and focus manually.
Autofocusing at night or in dark scenes may be difficult when points of light lie
within the AF point. In this case, set the focus mode to MF ( ) and focus
manually.
Shots will look slightly different from the preview image shown on the screen.
Note
The self-timer lamp fires briefly after shots in this mode if the self-timer is used.
117
Handheld Night Scene Mode
[ ] (Handheld Night Scene) mode enables handheld shooting for night scenes. In this
shooting mode, four shots are taken consecutively for each picture, and the resulting image
with reduced camera shake is recorded.
Shooting tips
Hold the camera steady.
Keep your elbows close to your body to hold the camera steady ( ). In this mode, four
shots are aligned and merged into a single image, but if there is significant misalignment
in any of the four shots due to camera shake, they may not align properly in the final
image.
Caution
Compared to other shooting modes, the image area will be smaller.
RAW image quality cannot be set.
Flash photography is not available.
Autofocusing at night or in dark scenes may be difficult when points of light lie
within the AF point. In this case, set the focus mode to MF ( ) and focus
manually.
Shooting moving subjects may result in afterimages from the movement, or
darkness around the subject.
The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice,
stripes, etc.), flat or single-tone images, or images significantly misaligned due to
camera shake.
It takes some time to record images to the card since they are merged after
shooting. “BUSY” appears on the screen as images are processed, and shooting is
not possible until processing is finished.
Shots will look slightly different from the preview image shown on the screen.
118
HDR Backlight Control Mode
Use [ ] ( HDR Backlight Control) mode for backlit scenes with both bright and dark
areas. Shooting once in this mode captures three consecutive images at different
exposures, which are combined to create a single HDR image that retains detail in shadows
that might otherwise be lost from backlighting.
* HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.
Shooting tips
Hold the camera steady.
Keep your elbows close to your body to hold the camera steady ( ). In this mode, three
shots are aligned and merged into a single image. However, if there is significant
misalignment in any of the three shots due to camera shake, they may not align properly
in the final image.
Caution
Compared to other shooting modes, the image area will be smaller.
RAW image quality cannot be set.
Flash photography is not available.
Note that the image may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and may look
irregular or have significant noise.
HDR Backlight Control may not be effective for excessively backlit scenes or
extremely high-contrast scenes.
When shooting subjects that are sufficiently bright as they are, for example for
normally lit scenes, the image may look unnatural due to the HDR effect.
Shooting moving subjects may result in afterimages from the movement, or
darkness around the subject.
The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice,
stripes, etc.), flat or single-tone images, or images significantly misaligned due to
camera shake.
It takes some time to record images to the card since they are merged after
shooting. “BUSY” appears on the screen as images are processed, and shooting is
not possible until processing is finished.
119
Silent Shutter Mode
Where silence is needed, you can shoot without beeps or shutter release sounds.
Shooting tips
Take some test shots.
Consider taking some test shots in advance, because lens aperture and focusing
adjustment may be audible under some shooting conditions.
Caution
Be responsible when using silent shooting, and respect subject privacy and portrait
rights.
Images of fast-moving subjects may look distorted.
Continuous shooting and flash photography are not available.

Continuous shooting is not available when [ ], [ ], [ ], [ ], [ ], or [ ] is set.
122
Note
With [Grainy B/W], the grainy preview will differ somewhat from the appearance of
your shots.
With [Soft focus] or [Miniature effect] options, the blurred effect preview may
differ somewhat from the appearance of your shots.
No histogram is displayed.
A magnified view is not available.
In Creative Zone modes, some Creative filter settings are available from the Quick
Control screen ( ).
123
Creative Filter Characteristics
Grainy B/W
Makes the image grainy and black and white. By adjusting the contrast, you can change
the black-and-white effect.
Soft focus
Gives the image a soft look. By adjusting the blur, you can change the degree of
softness.
Fish-eye effect
Gives the effect of a fish-eye lens. The image will have barrel distortion.
Depending on the level of this filter effect, the area trimmed along the periphery of the
image changes. Also, because this filter effect magnifies the center of the image, the
apparent resolution at the center may degrade depending on the number of recorded
pixels, so set the filter effect while checking the resulting image. One AF point is used,
fixed at the center.
Water painting effect
Makes the photo look like a watercolor painting with soft colors. By adjusting the effect,
you can change the color density. Note that night scenes or dark scenes may not be
rendered with a smooth gradation and may look irregular or have significant noise.
Toy camera effect
Shifts colors to those typical of toy cameras and darkens the four corners of the image.
Color tone options can be used to change the color cast.
Miniature effect
Creates a diorama effect.
Shooting under the default setting will keep the center looking sharp.
To move the area that looks sharp (the scene frame), see Adjusting the Miniature Effect.
[1-point AF] is used as the AF area. Shooting with the AF point and scene frame
aligned is recommended.
HDR art standard
Photos retain more detail in highlights and shadows. With reduced contrast and flatter
gradation, the finish resembles a painting. The subject outlines will have bright (or dark)
edges.
HDR art vivid
Colors are more saturated than with [ HDR art standard], and the low contrast and
flat gradation resemble graphic art.
HDR art bold
The colors are the most saturated, making the subject pop out, and the picture looks like
an oil painting.
124
HDR 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.
Caution
Precautions for [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ]
Compared to other shooting modes, the image area will be smaller.
Shots will look slightly different from the filter effect previews shown on the screen.
Shooting moving subjects may result in afterimages from the movement, or
darkness around the subject.
The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice,
stripes, etc.), flat or single-tone images, or images significantly misaligned due to
camera shake.
Be careful about camera shake in handheld shots.
Subjects such as the sky or white walls may not be rendered with smooth gradation
and may have noise or irregular exposure or colors.
Shooting under fluorescent or LED lighting may result in unnatural color
reproduction of the illuminated areas.
It takes some time to record images to the card since they are merged after
shooting. “BUSY” appears on the screen as images are processed, and shooting is
not possible until processing is finished.
Flash photography is not available.
Note
With [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ], you can shoot high dynamic range photos that
retain detail in highlights and shadows of high-contrast scenes. Three consecutive
images are captured at different brightnesses each time you shoot and used to
create a single image. See the precautions for [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ].
125

overexposure.
Lower the ISO speed or use an ND filter (sold separately) to reduce the amount of
light entering the lens.
Note
Differences between < > and < > modes
< > mode limits available functions and sets the AF area, metering mode, and
many other functions automatically to prevent bad shots. In contrast, < > mode
only sets the shutter speed and aperture value automatically, and you can freely
set the AF area, metering mode, and other functions.
Program shift
In < > mode, you can freely change the combination (program) of shutter speed

sizes than .
RAW images can be processed using [ : RAW image processing] ( ) to save them 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.
162
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 Maximum burst for continuous shooting [Approx.].
164
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 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 .

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.
Note
ISO speed can also be set in the ISO speed item by pressing the < > button
with an image displayed on the screen.
To expand the manual ISO speed setting range to H (equivalent to ISO 51200),
adjust [ISO speed range] in [ : ISO speed settings] ( ).
176
Caution
Image noise (dots of light or banding) and irregular colors may increase and
apparent resolution may decrease at H (equivalent to ISO 51200), because this is
an expanded ISO speed.
Setting [ : Highlight tone priority] to [Enable] or [Enhanced] ( ) will prevent
you from selecting ISO 100/125/160 or H (equivalent to ISO 51200).
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.
177
ISO Speed Range When Set Manually
You can set the manual ISO speed setting range (minimum and maximum limits). You can

to obtain the standard exposure.
This function will not be applied to flash photography.
Note
When [Auto(Standard)] is set, the minimum shutter speed will be the reciprocal of
the lens focal length. A single step from [Slower] to [Faster] is equivalent to a
single stop of the shutter speed.
183
HDR Shooting
PQ in HDR PQ refers to the gamma curve of the input signal for displaying HDR images.
HDR PQ settings enable the camera to produce HDR images conforming to the PQ
specification defined in ITU-R BT.2100 and SMPTE ST.2084. (Actual display depends on
monitor performance.)
Shots are captured as HEIF or RAW images.
*HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.
* PQ stands for Perceptual Quantization.
1. Select [ : HDR shooting ].
2. Select [Enable].
On the screen during shooting and playback, converted images are
displayed that resemble how the images would look on an HDR display
device.
184
Caution
Expanded ISO speeds (H) are not available in HDR shooting.
Some scenes may look different from how they appear on an HDR display device.
Unused signal values are roughly indicated by image areas in gray in the histogram
when [ : HDR shooting ] is set to [Enable].
[ : Disp. performance] is not available when [ : HDR shooting ] is
set to [Enable]. It is set to [Smooth].
For images captured with [ : HDR shooting ] set to [Enable], before
playback on an HDR display device, set [ : HDMI HDR output] to [On] ( ).
Note that regardless of the [ : HDMI HDR output] setting, HDR images are used
for display on HDR display devices.
185
HDR Mode
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.
HDR shooting enhances gradation in dark image areas by merging three images
deliberately captured at different exposures (standard, underexposed, and
overexposed) to produce an HDR image that compensates for loss of detail in dark
image areas. HDR images are captured as HEIFs or JPEGs.
* 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].
186
3. Set [Limit max brightness] (only with [ : HDR shooting ] set
to [Enable]).
With [Disable], maximum brightness is not limited. Recommended
when you will review images on a monitor supporting display at
brightnesses exceeding 1000 nits.
With [1000 nits], maximum brightness is limited to approx. 1000 nits.
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].
187
5. Set [Auto Image Align].
For handheld shooting, select [Enable]. When using a tripod, select
[Disable].
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.
188
Caution
Expanded ISO speeds (H) are not available in HDR shooting.
The flash will not fire during HDR shooting.
AEB is not available.
In HDR shooting, three images are captured with settings such as shutter speed
automatically adjusted. For this reason, even in < >, < >, and < >
modes, the shutter speed and ISO 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 cause issues such as
irregular exposure or colors in HDR images, due to the flickering light source.
Effects of flickering may be reduced by setting [Anti-flicker shoot.] to [Enable].
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.
Maximum shutter speed in HDR shooting with an electronic shutter is 1/8000 sec.
Note
Image quality of RAW HDR images is as follows.
• [ : HDR shooting ] set to [Disable]: JPEG quality
• [ : HDR shooting ] set to [Enable]: HEIF quality
HDR image quality in RAW+JPEG or RAW+HEIF shooting corresponds to your
specified JPEG or HEIF image quality.

become slower, and the shooting interval may become irregular.
Flicker at a frequency other than 100Hz or 120Hz 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.

You can shoot with filter effects applied. Note that only images with the filter effects applied
are saved.
Configuring Shooting Creative Filters
1. Select [ : Shooting creative filters].
Caution
The camera shoots in single shooting mode when a Creative filter
is set, regardless of the drive mode setting (< >, < >, or
< >).
243
2. Select a filter effect.
Turn the < > dial to select a filter effect ( ).
Images are shown with the filter effect applied.
Caution
Some items on the AF tab are not available with [Fish-eye effect]
or [Miniature effect] selected.
3. Adjust the filter effect.
Press the < > button.
Turn the < > dial to adjust the filter effect ( ).
4. Take the picture.
The images captured have the filter effect applied.
244
Characteristics of Shooting Creative Filters
Grainy B/W
Makes the image grainy and black and white. By adjusting the contrast, you can change
the black-and-white effect.
Soft focus
Gives the image a soft look. By adjusting the blur, you can change the degree of
softness.
Fish-eye effect
Gives the effect of a fish-eye lens. The image will have barrel distortion.
Depending on the level of this filter effect, the area trimmed along the periphery of the
image changes. Also, because this filter effect magnifies the center of the image, the
apparent resolution at the center may degrade depending on the number of recorded
pixels, so set the filter effect while checking the resulting image.
[AF area] is set to [1-point AF].
Art bold effect
Makes the photo look like an oil painting and the subject look more three-dimensional.
By adjusting the effect, you can change the contrast and saturation. Note that subjects
such as the sky or white walls may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and may
look irregular or have significant noise.
Water painting effect
Makes the photo look like a watercolor painting with soft colors. By adjusting the effect,
you can change the color density. Note that night scenes or dark scenes may not be
rendered with a smooth gradation and may look irregular or have significant noise.
Toy camera effect
Shifts colors to those typical of toy cameras and darkens the four corners of the image.
Color tone options can be used to change the color cast.
Miniature effect
Creates a diorama effect.
Shooting under the default setting will keep the center looking sharp.
To move the area that looks sharp (the scene frame), see “Adjusting the Miniature
Effect” ( ).
[AF area] is set to [1-point AF]. Shooting with the AF point and scene frame aligned is
recommended.
246
Caution
With [Grainy B/W], the grainy preview will differ somewhat from the appearance of
your shots.
With [Soft focus] or [Miniature effect] options, the blurred effect preview may
differ somewhat from the appearance of your shots.
No histogram is displayed.
A magnified view is not available.
247
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.
248
3. Select a setting.
Confirm that the name of the attached lens and [Correction data
available] are displayed.
If [Correction data not available] or [ ] is displayed, see Digital Lens
Optimizer.
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).
249
Distortion Correction
Distortion (image warping) can be corrected.
Caution
Specifying distortion correction may subtly change the angle of view, resulting in
images that are cropped a little and seem slightly less sharp.
The amount of image cropped may vary between still photos and movies.
Note
With RF lenses, distortion correction during movie recording is supported.
250
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.
251
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].
252
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.
For movie recording, [Diffraction correction] will not appear. (Correction is not
possible.)
The effect of diffraction correction cannot be checked on the screen at the time of
shooting.
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/HEIF 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.
253
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.
254
Long Exposure Noise Reduction
Noise such as dots of light or banding 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.
255
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.
256
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.
257
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 with any of these features: bulb
exposures, AEB or WB bracketing, RAW or RAW+JPEG, long exposure noise
reduction, multiple exposures, HDR mode or HDR PQ settings, focus bracketing,
Creative filter shooting, or RAW burst mode.
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 < > mode or movie recording.
258
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 focus mode to MF ( ) and focus manually at 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].
259
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.
260
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.
261
Dust Delete Data Appending
The camera will append the Dust Delete Data obtained to all shots from now on. Acquiring
Dust Delete Data immediately 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.
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).
262
Multiple Exposures
Merging Multiple Exposures with a JPEG Image Recorded on the Card
Checking and Deleting Multiple Exposures During Shooting

Note
As shooting information, the multiple-exposure image has information captured for
the last shot.
266
Caution
Image noise, color shift, or banding may be noticeable in multiple exposures,
depending on subjects and shooting conditions.
With multiple exposures, the more exposures there are, the more noticeable the
noise, irregular colors, and banding will be.
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 a Basic Zone mode or to < >,
< >, < >, or < > mode.
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.

270
FAQ
Are there any restrictions on the image quality?
Multiple exposures are captured as JPEG [ ] images. Even with [ : Image quality]
set to RAW only, they are captured as JPEG [ ] images.
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.
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.
271
RAW Burst Mode
Enables fast continuous shooting of RAW images. Useful for choosing the best shot, taken
at exactly the right moment, from your captured images. Shots are captured as a single file
(roll) with multiple images.
You can extract any image from the roll to save it separately ( ).
1. Select [ : RAW burst mode].
2. Set [RAW burst mode].
3. Select [Enable].
After you select [Enable], [ ] is displayed when you shoot.
272
4. Select [Pre-shooting].
5. Set an option.
[Enable]: Shooting begins slightly before (up to approx. 0.5 sec.
before) you press the shutter button completely, after you momentarily
press it halfway. [ ] is displayed when you shoot.
[Disable]: Shooting begins when you press the shutter button
completely. [ ] is displayed when you shoot.
273
6. Shoot.
An on-screen indicator shows buffer status. The color varies by status.
The indicator is green during shooting, red if recording is not possible
because the buffer is full, and white otherwise.
Pressing the shutter button completely shoots continuously until the
buffer is full or you release the button.
274
Caution
Use cards with 4 GB or more of free space.
Images may not be captured correctly if the battery runs out during image
processing while you are shooting in RAW burst mode with a slow-writing card and
low battery.
Display pauses when you press the shutter button halfway.
Camera shake or subject motion may cause image distortion.
ISO Auto is used when shooting in < >, < >, or < > mode.
Shutter speeds slower than 1/30 sec. are not available in < >, < >, or
< > mode.
Approx. 32 megapixels (6960×4640) are used in shooting.
Images are captured using the electronic shutter. Before shooting, consider
checking the [Electronic] precautions ( ).
To view images in rolls on a computer, either extract them or use the EOS
application Digital Photo Professional.
Set [ : RAW burst mode] to [Disable] if you will connect the camera to a
computer and use the EOS application EOS Utility. Setting it to [Enable] will
prevent the camera from communicating with the computer.
Maximum burst may be lower under low light.
In RAW burst mode, the aperture value will change if you zoom while pressing the
shutter button halfway or completely with zoom lenses that have variable maximum
aperture. To maintain the same exposure in < > mode, consider shooting with
ISO Auto.
In RAW burst mode, even with zoom lenses that do not have variable maximum
aperture, exposure may change if you zoom while pressing the shutter button
halfway or completely. For details, refer to the Canon website ( ).
There may be a delay before subsequent shooting in RAW burst mode is possible,
depending on shooting conditions, the type of memory card, and the number of
shots taken continuously. Writing will finish faster on cards with a fast write speed.
Note
RAW images captured are saved in a single file (roll). These files have a .CR3 file
extension.
Picture Style, white balance, and Auto Lighting Optimizer settings configured for
the first shot also apply to the next shots.
The camera does not beep as you are shooting.
[ : RAW burst mode] reverts to [Disable] when the power switch is set to
<>.
275
Focus Bracketing
Focus bracketing enables continuous shooting with the focal distance changed automatically
after each shot. These images enable you to create a single image in focus over a deep
depth of field. Compositing is also possible using an application that supports depth
compositing, such as Digital Photo Professional (EOS software).
1. Select [ : Focus bracketing].
2. Set [Focus bracketing].
Select [Enable].
276
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 the < > button.
277
5. Set [Exposure smoothing].
You can compensate for changes in image brightness during focus
bracketing by selecting [Enable], so that the camera makes
adjustments based on differences between the displayed and actual
aperture value (effective f/number), which varies by focal position.
Select [Disable] if you prefer not to compensate for changes in image
brightness during focus bracketing. Use this option for purposes other
than depth compositing of the captured images in applications such as
DPP.
6. Set [Depth composite].
Select [Enable] for in-camera depth compositing. Both the depth-
composited image and the source images are saved.
Select [Disable] if you prefer not to perform in-camera depth
compositing. Only captured images are saved.
278
7. Set [Crop depth comp.].
Select [Enable] for cropping before compositing, to prepare any
images without a sufficient angle of view for compositing alignment by
cropping them to correct the angle of view.
Select [Disable] if you prefer not to crop these images. In this case,
areas without a sufficient angle of view are covered by a black border
in the saved images. You can crop the images manually or edit them
as needed.
8. Shoot.
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.
To cancel shooting, press the shutter button completely again.
279
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 ( ).
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.
Flash photography is not available.
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 camera is set to manual focus ( ).
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.
Maximum shutter speed with focus bracketing is 1/8000 sec.
Depth compositing is canceled if you open the battery compartment or card slot
cover, or if the remaining battery capacity becomes too low. After cancellation,
composited images are not saved.
Depth compositing may fail for patterned images (with a lattice or stripes, for
example) or images that are generally flat and uniform.
When taking several shots, start by focusing closer, then gradually focus farther
away.
Too great a distance when moving the focal position between multiple shots may
cause unevenness in depth-composited images, or it may cause compositing to
fail.
Depth compositing is intended for subjects that are not moving. For this reason,
shooting subjects in motion may prevent effective compositing.
Depth compositing of images with multiple subjects may fail if your shots are
composed with the subjects far apart from each other, for example.
To cancel depth compositing in progress, press the < > button. Cancellation
discards the composited image but keeps all source images.
In depth compositing, optimal images from the shots are selected and combined by
the camera. Not all of the shots are combined to create the composite image.
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.
[ : Focus bracketing] reverts to [Disable] when the power switch is set to
< >.

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
283
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].
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
< >.
284
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.
In < > focus mode, the camera will not shoot unless subjects are in focus.
Consider setting the mode to manual focus 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 < >, switch the shooting mode to < >, < >, < >, or < >,
switch to movie recording, or use EOS Utility (EOS software).
During interval timer shooting, you cannot use Remote Control Shooting or remote-
release shooting with a Speedlite.

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.
Display simulation may not be performed under some shooting settings. The
[ ] icon and histogram will be displayed in gray. The image will be displayed

326
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 [ ] internal temperature warning icon
A white [ ] icon indicates high internal camera temperature. 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.
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.
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.
327
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.

Record the movie in the same way as normal movie recording.
For details on file sizes and the recording time available, see Movie
recording.
355
Caution
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.
356
Still Photo Shooting
Still photo shooting is not supported in movie recording mode. To shoot still photos,
stop recording and change the [Shooting mode] setting to still photos first.

Sharpness and noise vary slightly depending on the movie recording size setting
and lens used.
359
Note
To obtain better performance with the card, formatting the card with the camera
before recording movies is recommended ( ).
Movies cannot be recorded in HD or VGA quality.
4K Movie Recording
Recording 4K movies requires a stable card with a fast writing speed. For details, see
Cards That Can Record Movies.
4K movie recording greatly increases the processing load, which may increase the
internal camera temperature faster or higher than for regular movies. If a white
[ ] or 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. (Do not remove the card immediately.)
From a 4K movie, you can select any frame to save to the card as a JPEG still image
( ).
360
Frame rate (fps: frames per second)
[ ] 119.9 fps/[ ] 59.94 fps/[ ] 29.97 fps
For areas where the TV system is NTSC (North America, Japan, South Korea, Mexico,
etc.). For [ ], see High Frame Rate.
[ ] 100.00 fps/[ ] 50.00 fps/[ ] 25.00 fps
For areas where the TV system is PAL (Europe, Russia, China, Australia, etc.). For
[ ], see High Frame Rate.
[ ] 23.98 fps
Mainly for cinematic purposes. (23.98 fps) is available when [ : Video system] is
set to [For NTSC].
Compression method
[ ] IPB (Standard)
Compresses multiple frames at a time efficiently for recording.
[ ] 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 of the
same capacity).
Movie recording format
[ ] MP4
All movies you record with the camera are recorded as movie files in MP4 format (file
extension “.MP4”).
362
Cards That Can Record Movies
See Card performance requirements for details on cards supporting all movie recording
sizes.
Test cards by recording a few movies to make sure they can record correctly at your
specified size ( ).
Caution
Before recording 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.
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.
363
Movie Files Exceeding 4 GB
Using SDHC cards formatted with the camera
If you use the camera to format an 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.

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].
374
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/Cinema Gamut color
space are used in Canon Log recording.
376
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.
377

378
Shooting Settings
Manually setting the ISO speed to 100–640 will make the dynamic range narrower.
Canon Log offers a dynamic range of approx. 1600% at ISO 800 or higher.
The following are expanded ISO speeds: ISO 100, 125, 160, 200, 250, 320, 400, 500
and 640. [ ] is displayed when an ISO speed is set.
379
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 800.
If noise is noticeable, try recording under brighter conditions and adjusting brightness in
color grading. Although dynamic range is narrower at ISO speeds lower than ISO 800,
noise can also be reduced by recording this way.
Caution
General Canon Log shooting precautions
Canon Log and Canon Log 2 are not supported.
With Canon Log, autofocusing may be more difficult for subjects under low light, or
for low-contrast subjects. Difficulty in autofocusing can be reduced by shooting
near maximum aperture or using a bright lens.
Noise may appear at image edges if [Peripheral illum corr] in [ : Lens
aberration correction] is set to [Enable] when Canon Log is set.
Histograms with [Canon Log] in [ : Canon Log settings] set to [On ( )] are
not based on conversion for View Assist display. Image areas shown in gray in the
histogram roughly indicate signal values that are not used.
Note
Playing back movies recorded with Canon Log
View Assist is not used during movie playback.

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.
Time-lapse movies cannot be recorded when the camera is connected to a
computer with the interface cable, or when an HDMI cable is connected.
Movie Servo AF will not function.
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
cannot adjust the shooting function and menu function settings, play back images,
etc.
Sound is not 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.
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
computer.
392
Image stabilization is not applied in time-lapse movie recording.
Time-lapse movie shooting ends if the power switch is set to < >, for

2. Select a [ Digital IS] option.
Off ( )
Image stabilization with Movie digital IS is disabled.
On ( )
Camera shake will be corrected. The image will be slightly magnified.
Enhanced ( )
Compared to when [On] is set, stronger camera shake can be corrected. The image will
be more magnified.
397
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].
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 on the camera.

General Movie Recording Precautions
Warning Indicator Display in Movie Recording
Warning Indicator Display in Movie Recording
A 10-level indicator (1) is displayed during movie recording in case of excessive internal
camera temperature.
As the internal temperature rises, the level on the indicator extends to the right. How fast the
level increases will depend on shooting conditions. Levels 1–7 are marked in white, but once
the temperature reaches level 8, the color changes.
[ ] flashes in red if you continue recording after the indicator reaches level 9, marked in
orange. A flashing icon indicates that the camera will soon turn off automatically.
421
A message is displayed if you continue to record while the icon is flashing, and the camera
automatically turns off.
Subsequent recording
To keep recording under the same settings, leave the camera off and let it cool down a
while. Note that the camera may overheat again after you resume recording.
422
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.
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 with [ : Canon Log settings] set to
[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.
423
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.
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] ( ).
Most external microphones equipped with a 3.5 mm mini-plug can be used.
Any connected external microphone is used instead of the built-in microphone.
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 4K and
Full HD movies.

In focus lock shooting, you will use One-Shot AF with a fixed AF point, then recompose the
shot before shooting. The steps are as follows when you will press the shutter button
halfway to focus.
1. Aim the fixed AF point over the subject to focus on, then press the
shutter button halfway.
440
2. After the AF point in focus turns green, keep the shutter button
pressed halfway and recompose the shot.
3. Press the shutter button completely to take the picture.
441
Servo AF for Moving Subjects
This AF operation is suited for moving subjects. While you hold down the shutter button
halfway, the camera will keep focusing on the subject continuously.
When focus is achieved, the AF point will turn blue. The beeper will not sound even
when focus is achieved.
The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.
For details on the continuous shooting speed for continuous shooting, see Selecting the
Drive Mode.
Caution
Accurate focusing may not be possible at high aperture values or depending on the
lens, the distance to the subject, and how fast the subject is moving.
Zooming during continuous shooting may throw off the focus. Zoom first, then
recompose and shoot.
Consider shooting with One-Shot AF if Servo AF operation is unsteady for still
subjects.
442
Movie Servo AF

Movie Servo AF by tapping [ ] in the lower left of the screen.
• Movie Servo AF will resume after pausing if you return to movie
recording after operations such as pressing the < > or
<> button or changing the AF area.
Disable
While you hold down the shutter button halfway, the camera will keep
focusing on the subject continuously. Pressing the <> button
focuses only once.
444
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).
445
AF Area
This section describes AF area operation with [ : Subject tracking] set to [Off].
: Spot AF
The camera focuses in a narrower area than 1-point AF.
: 1-point AF
The camera focuses using a single AF point [ ].
447
: Expand AF area:
Focuses using one AF point [ ] and the AF area 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 Flexible 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 the surrounding AF area outlined here in blue, which
makes it easier to focus on moving subjects than with Expand AF area: .
When Servo AF is used, first you will focus using an AF point [ ].
448
: Flexible Zone AF 1
By default, a square Zone AF frame is set.
: Flexible Zone AF 2
By default, a vertical rectangular Zone AF frame is set.
449
: Flexible Zone AF 3
By default, a horizontal rectangular Zone AF frame is set.
With Flexible Zone AF 1–3, you can freely set the size of the Zone AF frame ( ).
Uses auto selection AF in Zone AF frames to cover a larger area than Expand AF area,
which makes focusing easier than with 1-point AF/Expand AF area and 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), vehicles, subject motion,
and subject distance.
Pressing the shutter button halfway displays [ ] over AF points in focus.
: Whole area AF
Uses auto selection AF in a whole-area AF frame to cover a larger area than Flexible Zone
AF, which makes focusing easier than with 1-point AF/Expand AF area/Flexible Zone AF
and 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), vehicles, subject motion,
and subject distance.
Pressing the shutter button halfway displays [ ] over AF points in focus.
450
Selecting the AF Area
You can select the AF area to suit the shooting conditions or subject.
If you prefer to focus manually, see Manual Focus.
1. Select [ : AF area].
2. Select the AF area.
The screen above is displayed when [ : Orientation linked AF
point] ( ) is set to [Separate AF pts: Area+pt]. Set separate AF
areas after choosing vertical and horizontal orientations.
451
Subject Tracking
Among the subjects detected, a tracking frame [ ] is displayed over the main subject.
If the subject moves, the tracking frame [ ] also moves to track it.
You can set [ : Eye detection] to [Enable] to shoot with the subject's eyes in focus ( ).
1. Select [ : Subject tracking].
2. Select an option.
Caution
No tracking frame is displayed when [ : Subject tracking] is set to [Off],
regardless of the [ : Subject to detect] setting.
453
Manually selecting a subject for focus
1. Check the tracking frame.
A tracking frame [ ] appears over any subjects detected.
Tracking frames [ ] away from AF points are displayed in gray.
Once the tracked subject is near an AF point, even if it is outside the
AF point, the tracking frame turns white (distinguishing it as an active
frame), which enables selection as the main subject. The AF point
turns gray.
Gray display of tracking frames [ ] does not apply in movie recording.
2. Focus and shoot/record.
Once you press the shutter button halfway and the subject is in focus,
the AF point turns green and the camera beeps.
An orange AF point indicates that the camera could not focus on
subjects.
454
Note
Selecting a subject by touch with [ : AF area] set to [Whole area AF] changes
the tracking frame to [ ] and locks on to that subject for tracking across the entire
screen.
To release locked tracking, tap [ ].
Pressing the shutter button halfway when the AF point does not overlap the
tracking frame [ ] will focus using the active, white AF frame.
When AF operation is set to Servo AF, pressing the shutter button halfway focuses
using Whole area AF.
For human subjects, the active [ ] may cover only a part of the face, not the whole
face.
The size of tracking frames varies depending on the subject.
No tracking frame is displayed when [ : Subject tracking] is set to [Off],
regardless of the [ : Subject to detect] setting.
Caution
Tapping the screen to focus will focus with [One-Shot AF], regardless of the AF
operation setting.
If the subject's face is significantly out of focus, face detection will not be possible.
Adjust the focus manually ( ) so that the face can be detected, then perform AF.
AF may not detect subjects or people's faces at the edges of the screen.
Recompose the shot to center the subject or bring the subject closer to the center.
455
Subject to Detect
You can specify conditions for automatic selection of the main subject to track.
People
Prioritizes the faces or heads of people as the main subjects to track.
When a person's face or head cannot be detected, the camera attempts to detect and
track their torso. If their torso cannot be detected, the camera may track other parts of
their body.
Animals
Detects animals (dogs, cats, or birds) and people and prioritizes detection results for
animals as the main subjects to track.
For animals, the camera attempts to detect faces or bodies, and a tracking frame is
shown over any face detected.
When an animal's face or entire body cannot be detected, the camera may track part of
their body.
Vehicles
Detects two- or four-wheeled motorsports vehicles and people and prioritizes detection
results for vehicles as the main subjects to track.
For vehicles, the camera attempts to detect key details or the entire vehicle, and a
tracking frame is shown over any of these details detected.
If key details or the entire vehicle cannot be detected, the camera may track other parts
of the vehicle.
Press the < > button to enable or disable Spot detection for key details of vehicles.
None
The camera determines the main subject automatically from how you compose shots,
without detecting subjects.
Tracking frames are not displayed.
456
Caution
The camera may detect areas other than faces or bodies of people or animals or
key details or bodies of vehicles as subjects.

shake. Using a tripod is recommended.
467
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.
468
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.

484
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.
485
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 ( ).
486
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 ( ).
487
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 ( ).
488
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.
489
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.
490
Acceleration/deceleration tracking
Setting for 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.
491
Adjusting Case Parameters

Movie Servo AF tracking sensitivity
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.

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 ( ).
603
•: 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.

[Brightness] display
This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of the image's brightness level, with
the horizontal axis indicating the brightness level (darker on the left and brighter on the
right) and the vertical axis indicating the pixel count at each brightness level. The more
pixels there are toward the left, the darker the image, and the more pixels there are
toward the right, the brighter the image. If there are too many pixels on the left, detail in
shadows will be lost, and if there are too many pixels on the right, detail in highlights will
be lost. The gradation in-between will be reproduced. By checking the image and its
brightness histogram, you can see the exposure level inclination and the overall
gradation.
Sample histograms
Dark image
Normal brightness
Bright image
643
[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
Distance between the camera and the smartphone
Installation location of access point antenna
Nearby electronic devices
Precautions for using multiple cameras
If the transmission rate drops, the connection is lost, or other problems occur when using the
wireless communication functions, try the following corrective actions.
772
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.
773
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.
774

(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 “100CANON,” 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.
793
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

Caution
If the file number in folder 999 reaches 9999, shooting will not be possible even if
the card still has free space. After a message requesting you to replace the card is
displayed, switch to a new card.
795
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.

File Naming
Registering/Changing File Names
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*].
799
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 the
< > button to enter it.
4. Exit the setting.
Press the < > button, then press [OK].
800
5. Select a registered file name.
Select [File name], then choose a registered file name.
Caution
An underscore (“_”) cannot be used as the first character.
Note
User setting 2
Shooting after you have selected “*** + image size” (as registered to User setting 2)
will add a character representing the current image size to your file name as the
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.
801
Card 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].
2. Select a card.
[ ] represents card 1, and [ ], card 2.
Select the card.
802
3. Format the card.
Select [OK].
For low-level formatting, press the < > button to add a checkmark
[ ] to [Low level format], then select [OK].
803
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
SD/SDHC cards will be formatted in FAT. 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 SDXC 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.

For movies recorded with the camera held vertically, orientation information indicating which
side is up can be added automatically to enable playback in the same orientation on
smartphones or other devices.
1. Select [ : Add rotate info].

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.
