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. If you accidentally drop the camera into water, promptly consult your nearest Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a well-wrung wet cloth.

• Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field such as a magnet or electric motor. Also avoid using or leaving the camera near anything emitting strong radio waves such as a large antenna. Strong magnetic fields can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data.

• Do not leave the camera in excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.

• The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to disassemble the camera yourself.

• Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirror, and focusing screen. Do not use cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, take the camera to 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 misoperation.

• If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room, condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.

• If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid damaging the camera. If there is condensation, remove the lens, card and battery from the camera, and wait until the condensation has evaporated before using the camera.

• If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while the camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a while to check that the camera is still working.

• Avoid storing the camera where there are corrosive chemicals such as a darkroom or chemical lab.

• If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions before using it. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is an important shoot coming up, have the camera checked by your Canon dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.

LCD Monitor

• Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there might be a few dead pixels among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying only black or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded.

• If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days.

• In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow or it might look black. It will return to normal at room temperature. Cards To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:

• Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force, physical shock, or vibration.

• Do not touch the card’s electronic contacts with your fingers or anything metallic.

• Do not store or use the card near anything having a strong magnetic field such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places prone to having static electricity.

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

• Store the card in a case.

• Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations. Lens After detaching the lens from the camera, attach the lens caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts. Cautions During Prolonged Use If you use continuous shooting, Live View shooting, or movie shooting for a prolonged period, the camera may become hot. Although this is not a malfunction, holding the hot camera for a long period can cause slight skin burns. About smudges adhering to the front of the sensor Besides dust entering the camera from outside, in rare cases lubricant from the camera’s internal parts may adhere to the front of the sensor. If visible spots remain on the image, having the sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is recommended.

• It takes approx. 2 hours to fully recharge a completely exhausted battery at 23°C / 73°F. The time required to recharge the battery depends on the ambient temperature and the battery’s charge level.

• For safety reasons, recharging in low temperatures (6°C - 10°C / 43°F - 50°F) will take a longer time (up to 4 hours).

26 COPY

Charging the Battery Tips for Using the Battery and Charger

• Upon purchase, the battery is not fully charged. Recharge the battery before using.

• Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be used. Even during storage, a charged battery will gradually drain and lose its power.

• After recharging the battery, detach it and unplug the charger from the power outlet.

• When not using the camera, remove the battery. If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small amount of power current is released, resulting in excess discharge and shorter battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover (provided) attached. Storing the battery after it is fully charged can lower the battery’s performance.

• The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries. The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/ 60 Hz power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available plug adapter for the respective country or region. Do not attach any portable voltage transformer to the battery charger. Doing so can damage the battery charger.

• If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully charged, the battery has reached the end of its service life. Purchase a new battery.

• After disconnecting the charger’s power plug, do not touch the prongs for at least 3 sec.

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

• The Battery Pack LP-E10 is dedicated to Canon products only. Using it with an incompatible battery charger or product may result in malfunction or accidents for which Canon cannot be held liable.

Attaching and Detaching a Lens About Zooming To zoom, turn the zoom ring on the lens with your fingers. If you want to zoom, do it before focusing. Turning the zoom ring after achieving focus may throw off the focus slightly. While pressing the lens release button, turn the lens as shown by the arrows. Turn the lens until it stops, then detach it. Attach the rear lens cap to the detached lens. Detaching the Lens Do not look at the sun directly through any lens. Doing so may cause loss of vision. If the front part (focusing ring) of the lens rotates during autofocusing, do not touch the rotating part. Image Conversion Factor Since the image sensor size is smaller than the 35mm film format, it will look like the lens focal length is increased by approx. 1.6x. Image sensor size (Approx.)

About the Lens Image Stabilizer When you use the IS lens’ built-in Image Stabilizer, camera shake is corrected to obtain a sharper shot. The procedure explained here is based on the EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens as an example. * IS stands for Image Stabilizer. 1 Set the IS switch to <1>. Set also the camera’s power switch to <1>. 2 Press the shutter button halfway. The Image Stabilizer will operate. 3 Take the picture. When the picture looks steady in the viewfinder, press the shutter button completely to take the picture. The Image Stabilizer may not be effective if the subject moves at the time of exposure. The Image Stabilizer may not be effective for excessive shaking such as on a rocking boat.

• The Image Stabilizer can operate with the focus mode switch set to either <f> or <g>.

• If the camera is mounted on a tripod, you can save battery power by switching the IS switch to <2>.

• The Image Stabilizer is effective even when the camera is mounted on a monopod.

• Some IS lenses enable you to switch the IS mode manually to suit the shooting conditions. However, the EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II switches the IS mode automatically.

1 Fully Automatic Shooting FAQ

• The focus confirmation light <o> blinks and focus is not achieved. Aim the AF point over an area having good contrast, then press the shutter button halfway (p.39). If you are too close to the subject, move away and try again.

• Sometimes multiple AF points flash simultaneously. This indicates that focus has been achieved at all those AF points. When the AF point covering the desired subject flashes, take the picture.

• The beeper continues to beep softly. (The focus confirmation light <o> does not light.) It indicates that the camera is focusing continuously on a moving subject. (The focus confirmation light <o> does not light.) You can take sharp pictures of a moving subject.

• Pressing the shutter button halfway does not focus the subject. If the focus mode switch on the lens is set to <MF> (Manual Focus), set it to <AF> (Auto Focus).

• Although it is daylight, the flash popped up. For a backlit subject, the flash may pop up to help lighten the subject’s dark areas.

• In low light, the built-in flash fired a series of flashes. Pressing the shutter button halfway may trigger the built-in flash to fire a series of flashes to assist autofocusing. This is called AF-assist beam. Its effective range is about 4 meters/13.1 feet.

• Although flash was used, the picture came out dark. The subject was too far away. The subject should be within 5 meters/16.4 feet from the camera.

• When flash was used, the bottom part of the picture came out unnaturally dark. The subject was too close to the camera, and a shadow was created by the lens barrel. The subject should be at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away from the camera. If a hood has been attached to the lens, remove it before taking the flash picture.

7 Disabling Flash In places where flash photography is prohibited, use the <7> (Flash Off) mode. This mode is also effective for capturing the particular ambience of a scene, such as candlelight scenes. Shooting Tips Prevent camera shake if the numeric display in the viewfinder blinks. Under low light when camera shake is prone to occur, the viewfinder’s shutter speed display will blink. Hold the camera steady or use a tripod. When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to reduce blur caused by camera shake. Taking portraits without flash. In low-light conditions, tell the subject to keep still until the picture is taken. If the person moves during the exposure, he or she might look blurred in the picture. 54 COPY

2 Shooting Portraits The <2> (Portrait) mode blurs the background to make the human subject stand out. It also makes skin tones and the hair look softer than with the <1> (Full Auto) mode. Shooting Tips The further the distance between the subject and background, the better. The further the distance between the subject and background, the more blurred the background will look. The subject will also stand out better in front of a plain, dark background. Use a telephoto lens. If you have a zoom lens, use the telephoto end to fill the frame with the subject from the waist up. Move in closer if necessary. Focus the face. Check that the AF point covering the face flashes in red. If you hold down the shutter button, you can shoot continuously to obtain different poses and facial expressions. (Up to approx. 3 shots per sec. in JPEG quality.) If necessary, the built-in flash will pop up automatically. 58 COPY

3 Shooting Landscapes Use the <3> (Landscape) mode for wide scenery, night scenes, or to have everything in focus from near to far. The greens and blues also become more vivid and the image sharper than with <1> (Full Auto). Shooting Tips With a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end. When using the wide-angle end of a zoom lens, objects near and far will be in focus better than at the telephoto end. It also adds breadth to landscapes. Shooting night scenes. Since the built-in flash will be disabled, this mode <3> is also good for night scenes. Use a tripod to prevent camera shake. If you want to photograph a person against a night scene, set the Mode Dial to <6> (Night Portrait) and use a tripod (p.62). 59 COPY

4 Shooting Close-ups When you want to photograph flowers or small things up close, use the <4> (Close-up) mode. To make small things appear much larger, use a macro lens (sold separately). Shooting Tips Use a simple background. A simple background makes the flower, etc., stand out better. Move to the subject as close as possible. Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. Some lenses have indications such as <40.25m/0.8ft>. The lens minimum focusing distance is measured from the <V> (focal plane) mark on the top left of the camera to the subject. If you are too close to the subject, the focus confirmation light <o> will blink. Under low light, the built-in flash will fire. If you are too close to the subject and the bottom of the picture looks dark, move away from the subject. With a zoom lens, use the telephoto end. If you have a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the subject look larger. 60 COPY

5 Shooting Moving Subjects To photograph a moving subject, whether it is a child running or a moving vehicle, use the <5> (Sports) mode. Shooting Tips Use a telephoto lens. Using a telephoto lens is recommended so you can shoot from afar. Use the center AF point to focus. Aim the center AF point over the subject, then press the shutter button halfway to autofocus. During autofocusing, the beeper will continue beeping softly. If focus cannot be achieved, the focus confirmation light <o> will blink. When you want to take the picture, press the shutter button completely. If you hold down the shutter button, continuous shooting (max. approx. 3 shots per sec. in JPEG quality) and autofocusing will take effect. Under low light when camera shake is prone to occur, the viewfinder’s shutter speed display on the bottom left will blink. Hold the camera steady and shoot. 61 COPY

6 Shooting Portraits at Night To shoot someone at night and obtain a natural-looking exposure in the background, use the <6> (Night Portrait) mode. 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. Also, use a tripod to prevent camera shake. Keep the person within 5 meters/16.4 feet from the camera. Under low light, the built-in flash will fire automatically to obtain a good exposure of the person. The maximum effective distance of the built-in flash is 5 meters/16.4 feet from the camera. Shoot also with <1> (Full Auto). Since camera shake is prone to occur with night shots, shooting also with <1> (Full Auto) is recommended. Tell the subject to keep still even after the flash fires. If you use the self-timer together with flash, the self-timer lamp will light briefly after the picture is taken. 62 COPY

Creative Shooting71In the Basic Zone modes, to prevent spoiled shots, most functions are set automatically and cannot be changed. In the <d> (Program AE) mode, you can set various functions and be more creative.

• In the <d> mode, the camera sets the shutter speed and aperture automatically to obtain a standard exposure.

• The difference between the Basic Zone modes and <d> is explained on page 232.

• The functions explained in this chapter can also be used in the <s>, <f>, and <a> modes explained in Chapter 4.

• The M mark shown on the right of the page title indicates that the function is available only in Creative Zone modes (p.22). * <d>standsforProgram. * AEstandsforAutoExposure.

COPY

d: Program AE The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture to suit the subject’s brightness. This is called Program AE.

1. 1 Set the Mode Dial to <d>.

2. 2 Focus the subject.
   

   • Look through the viewfinder and aim the selected AF point over the subject. Then press the shutter button halfway.

   • The dot inside the AF point achieving focus lights briefly in red, and the focus confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder’s bottom right lights (with One Shot AF).

   • The shutter speed and aperture will be set automatically and displayed in the viewfinder.

1. 3 Check the display. A standard exposure will be obtained as long as the shutter speed and aperture display do not blink.

2. 4 Take the picture. Compose the shot and press the shutter button completely.

If you use a TS-E lens to shift the lens vertically or use an Extension Tube, the standard exposure might not be obtained or an irregular exposure may result. 72 COPY

d: Program AE Shooting Tips Change the ISO speed or use the built-in flash. To match the subject and ambient lighting level, you can change the ISO speed (p.77) or use the built-in flash (p.88). In the <d> mode, the built-in flash will not fire automatically. So under low light, press the <I> (Flash) button to pop up the built-in flash. (You can also pop up the built-in flash by selecting the <s> icon on the Quick Control screen.) The program can be shifted. (Program shift) After pressing the shutter button halfway, turn the <6> dial to change the shutter speed and aperture setting combination (program). Program shift is canceled automatically after the picture is taken. Program shift is not possible with flash.

• If the “30"” shutter speed and the maximum aperture blink, it indicates underexposure. Increase the ISO speed or use flash.

• If the “4000” shutter speed and the minimum aperture blink, it indicates overexposure. Decrease the ISO speed.

Differences Between <d> and <1> (Full Auto) With <1>, many functions such the AF mode, drive mode, and built-in flash are set automatically to prevent spoiled shots. The functions you can set are limited. With <d>, only the shutter speed and aperture are set automatically.

FAQ

• I want to select the image-recording quality matching the paper size for printing. Refer to the diagram on the left when choosing the image-recording quality. If you want to crop the image, selecting a higher quality (more pixels) such as 73, 83, 1, or 1+73 is recommended. b is suitable for playing the images on a digital photo frame. c is suitable for emailing the image or using it on a Web site.

• What’s the difference between 7 and 8? It indicates a different image quality due to a different compression rate. Even with the same number of pixels, the 7 image has higher image quality. If 8 is selected, the image quality will be slightly lower, but more images can be saved to the card. Both b and c have 7 (Fine) quality.

• I could take more shots than the number of possible shots indicated. Depending on the shooting conditions, you may be able to take more shots than was indicated. It might also be fewer than indicated. The number of possible shots displayed is only approximate.

• Does the camera display the maximum burst? The maximum burst is displayed in the viewfinder’s right side. Since it is only a single-digit indicator 0 - 9, any number higher than 9 will be displayed only as “9.” Note that this number will also be displayed even when no card is installed in the camera. Be careful not to shoot without a card in the camera.

• When should I use 1? 1 images require processing with your computer. For details, see “About 1” and “About 1+73” on the next page.

E: Changing the Autofocus ModeN

• If focus cannot be achieved, the focus confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder will blink. If this occurs, a picture cannot be taken even if the shutter button is pressed completely. Recompose the picture and try to focus again. Or see “Subjects Difficult to Focus” (p.85).

• If [1 Beep] is set to [Disable], the beeper will not sound when focus is achieved.

AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects This AF mode is for moving subjects when the focusing distance keeps changing. While you hold down the shutter button halfway, the subject will be focused continuously.

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

• When the AF point selection (p.83) is automatic, the camera first uses the center AF point to focus. During autofocusing, if the subject moves away from the center AF point, focus tracking continues as long as the subject is covered by another AF point. AI Focus AF for Automatic Switching of AF Mode AI Focus AF switches the AF mode from One-Shot AF to AI Servo AF automatically if the still subject starts moving. After the subject is focused in One-Shot AF mode, if the subject starts moving, the camera will detect the movement and change the AF mode automatically to AI Servo AF.

With AI Servo AF, the beeper will not sound even when focus is achieved. Also, the focus confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder will not light. When focus is achieved in the AI Focus AF mode with the Servo mode active, the beeper will sound continuously sofltly.

S Selecting the AF Point N Shooting Tips When shooting a portrait up close, use One-Shot AF and focus the eyes. If you focus the eyes first, you can then recompose and the face will remain sharp. If it is difficult to focus, select and use the center AF point. The center AF point is the most sensitive among the nine AF points. To make it easier to focus a moving subject, set the camera to automatic AF point selection and AI Servo AF (p.82). The center AF point will first be used to focus the subject. During autofocusing, if the subject moves away from the center AF point, focus tracking continues as long as the subject is covered by another AF point. AF-Assist Beam with the Built-in Flash Under low-light conditions, when you press the shutter button halfway, the built-in flash fires a brief burst of flashes. It illuminates the subject to enable easier autofocusing.

• The AF-assist beam will not be fired in the following shooting modes: <7>, <3> and <5>.

• The AF-assist beam cannot be emitted in the AI Servo AF mode.

• The effective range of the AF-assist beam emitted by the built-in flash is about 4 meters/13.1 feet.

• In Creative Zone modes when you raise the built-in flash with the <I> button (p.88), the AF-assist beam will be fired when necessary.

If you use an Extender (sold separately) and the maximum aperture becomes smaller than f/5.6, AF shooting will not be possible (except in [Live mode] and [u Live mode] during Live View shooting). For details, see the Extender’s instruction manual. 84 COPY

Subjects Difficult to Focus Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (viewfinder’s focus confirmation light <o> blinks) with certain subjects such as the following:

• Very low-contrast subjects. (Example: Blue sky, solid-color walls, etc.)

• Subjects in very low light

• Extremely backlit or reflective subjects (Example: Car with a highly reflective body, etc.)

• Near and far subjects covered by an AF point (Example: Animal in a cage, etc.)

• Repetitive patterns (Example: Skyscraper windows, computer keyboards, etc.) In such cases, do one of the following: (1) With One-Shot AF, focus an object at the same distance as the subject and lock the focus before recomposing (p.52). (2) Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually.

Conditions in which focus is difficult to achieve in the [Live mode] and [u Live mode] AF modes during Live View shooting are listed on page 132. MF: Manual Focusing Focusing ring 1 Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF>. 2 Focus the subject. Focus by turning the lens focusing ring until the subject looks sharp in the viewfinder. If you hold down the shutter button halfway during manual focusing, the AF point achieving focus will light in red briefly, the beeper will sound, and the focus confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder will light. 85 COPY

Shooting Tips If the subject is far away, increase the ISO speed (p.77). By increasing the ISO speed, you can extend the flash range. In bright light, decrease the ISO speed. If the exposure setting in the viewfinder blinks, decrease the ISO speed. Detach the lens hood and keep at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away from the subject. If the lens has a hood attached or you are too close to the subject, the bottom of the picture might look dark due to the obstructed flash. For important shots, check the image on the LCD monitor to make sure the flash exposure looks natural (not dark at the bottom). 3 Red-eye Reduction Using the red-eye reduction lamp before taking a flash picture can reduce red eye. Red-eye reduction will work in any shooting mode except <7> <3> <5> <k>.

• Under the [1] tab, select [Red-eye reduc.], then press <0>. Select [Enable], then press <0>.

• For flash photography, when you press the shutter button halfway, the red-eye reduction lamp will light. Then when you press the shutter button completely, the picture will be taken.

D Using the Built-in Flash

• The red-eye reduction feature is most effective when the subject looks at the red-eye reduction lamp, when the room is well lit, or when you are close to the subject.

• When you press the shutter button halfway, the scale display on the bottom of the viewfinder will shrink and turn off. For best results, take the picture after this scale display turns off.

• The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies depending on the subject.

COPY

s: Action Shots You can either freeze the action or create motion blur with the <s> (Shutter-priority AE) mode on the Mode Dial. * <s> stands for Time value. Blurred motion Frozen action (Slow shutter speed: 1/30 sec.) (Fast shutter speed: 1/2000 sec.) Set the Mode Dial to <s> 1 . 2 Set the desired shutter speed.

• See “Shooting Tips” for advice on setting the shutter speed.

• Turning the <6> dial to the right sets a faster shutter speed, and turning it to the left sets a slower one. 3 Take the picture. When you focus and press the shutter button completely, the picture will be taken at the selected shutter speed.

Shutter Speed Display The LCD monitor displays the shutter speed as a fraction. However, the viewfinder displays only the denominator. Also, “0"5” indicates 0.5 sec. and “15"” is 15 sec. 92 COPY

s: Action Shots Shooting Tips

• To freeze the action or moving subject. Use a fast shutter speed such as 1/4000 sec. to 1/500 sec.

• To blur a running child or animal giving the impression of fast movement. Use a medium shutter speed such as 1/250 sec. to 1/30 sec. Follow the moving subject through the viewfinder and press the shutter button to take the picture. If you use a telephoto lens, hold it steady to prevent camera shake.

• How to blur a flowing river or water fountain. Use a slow shutter speed of 1/30 sec. or slower. Use a tripod to prevent hand-held camera shake.

• Set the shutter speed so that the aperture display does not blink in the viewfinder. If you press the shutter button halfway and change the shutter speed while the aperture is displayed, the aperture display will also change to maintain the same exposure (amount of light reaching the image sensor). If you exceed the adjustable aperture range, the aperture display will blink to indicate that the standard exposure cannot be obtained. If the exposure will be too dark, the maximum aperture (smallest number) will blink. If this happens, turn the <6> dial to the left to set a slower shutter speed or increase the ISO speed. If the exposure will be too bright, the minimum aperture (highest number) will blink. If this happens, turn the <6> dial to the right to set a faster shutter speed or decrease the ISO speed. I Using the Built-in Flash To obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be set automatically (autoflash exposure) to match the automatically-set aperture. The flash sync speed can be set from 1/200 sec. to 30 sec.

93 COPY

f: Changing the Depth of Field To blur the background or to make everything near and far look sharp, set the Mode Dial to <f> (Aperture-priority AE) to adjust the depth of field (range of acceptable focus). * <f> stands for Aperture value which is the size of the diaphragm hole inside the lens. Blurred background Sharp foreground and background (With a low aperture f/number: f/5.6) (With a high aperture f/number: f/32) Set the Mode Dial to <f>. 1 2 Set the desired aperture.

• The higher the f/number, the wider the depth of field where sharper focus is obtained in both the foreground and background.

• Turning the <6> dial to the right will set a higher f/number (smaller aperture opening), and turning it to the left will set a lower f/number (larger aperture opening). 3 Take the picture. Focus and press the shutter button completely. The picture will be taken with the selected aperture.

Aperture Display The higher the f/number, the smaller the aperture opening will be. The apertures displayed will differ depending on the lens. If no lens is attached to the camera, “00” will be displayed for the aperture. 94 COPY

f: Changing the Depth of Field Shooting Tips

• When using an aperture with a high f/number, note that camera shake can occur in low light scenes. A higher aperture f/number will make the shutter speed slower. Under low light, the shutter speed can be as long as 30 sec. In such cases, increase the ISO speed and hold the camera steady or use a tripod.

• The depth of field depends not only on the aperture, but also on the lens and on the subject distance. Since wide-angle lenses have a wide depth of field (range of acceptable focus in front of and behind the point of focus), you need not set a high aperture f/number to obtain a sharp picture from the foreground to the background. On the other hand, a telephoto lens has a narrow depth of field. And the closer the subject, the narrower the depth of field. A farther subject will have a wider depth of field.

• Set the aperture so that the shutter speed display does not blink. If you press the shutter button halfway and change the aperture while the shutter speed is displayed, the shutter speed display will also change to maintain the same exposure (amount of light reaching the image sensor). If you exceed the adjustable shutter speed range, the shutter speed display will blink to indicate that the standard exposure cannot be obtained. If the picture will be too dark, the “30"” (30 sec.) shutter speed display will blink. If this happens, turn the <6> dial to the left to set a lower aperture f/number or increase the ISO speed. If the picture will be too bright, the “4000” (1/4000 sec.) shutter speed display will blink. If this happens, turn the <6> dial to the right to set a higher aperture f/number or decrease the ISO speed.

f: Changing the Depth of Field I Using the Built-in Flash To obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be set automatically to match the set aperture (autoflash exposure). The shutter speed will be set automatically between 1/200 sec. - 30 sec. to suit the scene’s brightness. In low light, the main subject is exposed with the automatic flash, and the background is exposed with a slow shutter speed set automatically. Both the subject and background look properly exposed (automatic slow-speed flash sync). If you are handholding the camera, keep it steady to prevent camera shake. Using a tripod is recommended. If you do not want a slow shutter speed to be used, set [2: Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to [1: 1/200-1/60 sec. auto] or [2: 1/200 sec. (fixed)] in [7 Custom Functions (C.Fn)] (p.218). 3 Depth of Field PreviewN The aperture opening (diaphragm) changes only at the moment when the picture is taken. Otherwise, the aperture remains fully open. Therefore, when you look at the scene through the viewfinder or LCD monitor, the depth of field will look narrow. With the procedure below, you can check the depth of field before taking the picture. 1 Enable depth-of-field preview to be used. Under [7 Custom Functions (C.Fn)], set [8: Assign SET button] to [5: Depth-of-field preview] (p.222). For details about Custom Function settings, see page 216. 2 Exit the menu. Press the <M> button two times to exit the menu. 3 Press <0>. The aperture will be stopped down so you can see the depth of field. While looking at the Live View image (p.122) and holding down the <0> button, you can change the aperture and see how the depth of field changes. 96 COPY

a: Manual Exposure You can set both the shutter speed and aperture manually as desired. While referring to the exposure level indicator in the viewfinder, you can set the exposure as desired. This method is called manual exposure. * <a> stands for Manual. <6> <O> + <6> Standard exposure index Exposure level mark

a: Manual Exposure I Using the Built-in Flash To obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be set automatically (autoflash exposure) to match the manually-set aperture. The flash sync speed can be set from 1/200 sec. to 30 sec. and bulb. BULB: Bulb Exposures A bulb exposure keeps the shutter open for as long as you hold down the shutter button. It can be used to photograph fireworks, etc. In step 2 on the preceding page, turn the <6> dial to the left to set <BULB>. The elapsed exposure time will be displayed on the LCD monitor. Elapsed exposure time

• During bulb exposures, do not point the lens toward the sun. The sun’s heat can damage the camera’s internal components.

• Since bulb exposures produce more noise than usual, the image might look a little grainy.

• You can reduce the noise due to long exposures by setting [3: Long exp. noise reduction] to [1: Auto] or [2: On] in the [7 Custom Functions (C.Fn)] (p.219).

For bulb exposures, using a tripod and Remote Switch (sold separately, p.229) is recommended. 98 COPY

FAQ The aperture display in the viewfinder blinks. The exposure is correct, but the desired depth of field cannot be obtained. Either use a wide-angle lens or move farther away from the subjects. The shutter speed display in the viewfinder blinks. If the “30"” shutter speed blinks, it means that the subject is too dark. Increase the ISO speed. If the “4000” shutter speed blinks, it means that the subject is too bright. Decrease the ISO speed. A slow shutter speed has been set. Use a tripod to steady the camera. I want to use flash. Flash can be used, however, the result will be the same as using the <d> mode with flash. The desired depth of field will not be obtained. 99 COPY

In step 2, if you select [Enable], the peripheral light correction will be applied automatically for any lens whose correction data has been registered in the camera. With EOS Utility (provided software, p.270), you can check which lenses have their correction data registered in the camera. You can also register the correction data for unregistered lenses. For details, see the Software Instruction Manual (CD-ROM) for EOS Utility (p.272).

• For JPEG images already captured, lens peripheral illumination correction cannot be applied.

• Depending on shooting conditions, noise might appear on the image periphery.

• When using a non-Canon lens, setting the correction to [Disable] is recommended, even if [Correction data available] is displayed.

• Lens peripheral light correction is also applied when an Extender is attached.

• If the correction data for the attached lens has not been registered to the camera, the result will be the same as when the correction is set to [Disable].

• The correction amount applied will be slightly lower than the maximum correction amount settable with Digital Photo Professional (provided software).

• If the lens does not have distance information, the correction amount will be lower.

• The higher the ISO speed, the lower the correction amount will be.

2 Adjusting the Color Tone for the Light SourceN White Balance Correction

• During the white balance correction, <2> will be displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor.

• One level of the blue/amber correction is equivalent to 5 mireds of a color temperature conversion filter. (Mired: Measuring unit indicating the density of a color temperature conversion filter.)

You can correct the white balance that has been set. This adjustment will have the same effect as using a commercially-available color temperature conversion filter or color compensating filter. Each color can be corrected to one of nine levels. This is for advanced users who are familiar with using color temperature conversion or color compensating filters. Sample setting: A2, G1 1 Select [WB Shift/BKT].

• Under the [2] tab, select [WB Shift/ BKT], then press <0>.

• The WB correction/WB bracketing screen will appear. 2 Set the white balance correction. Pressthe<S>keytomovethe“ ” mark to the desired position.

• B is for blue, A is amber, M is magenta, and G is green. The color in the respective direction will be corrected.

• On the upper right, “Shift” indicates the direction and correction amount.

• Pressing the <B> button will cancel all the [WB Shift/BKT] settings.

• Press <0> to exit the setting and return to the menu.

117 COPY

2 Adjusting the Color Tone for the Light SourceN White Balance Auto Bracketing With just one shot, three images having a different color balance can be recorded simultaneously. Based on the color temperature of the current white balance setting, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bias or magenta/green bias. This is called white balance bracketing (WB-BKT). White balance bracketing is possible up to ±3 levels in single-level increments. B/A bias ±3 levels Set the white balance bracketing amount.

• In step 2 for white balance correction, when you turn the <6> dial, the “ ” mark on the screen will change to “ ” (3 points). Turning the dial to the right sets the B/A bracketing, and turning it to the left sets the M/G bracketing.

• On the right, “Bracket” indicates the bracketing direction and correction amount.

• Pressing the <B> button will cancel all the [WB Shift/BKT] settings.

• Press <0> to exit the setting and return to the menu.

Bracketing Sequence The images will be bracketed in the following sequence: 1. Standard white balance, 2. Blue (B) bias, and 3. Amber (A) bias, or 1. Standard white balance, 2. Magenta (M) bias, and 3. Green (G) bias. During WB bracketing, the continuous shooting speed will be slower. The maximum burst for continuous shooting will also be lower and the number of possible shots will decrease to one-third the normal number.

• You can also set white balance correction and AEB (p.103) together with white balance bracketing. If you set AEB in combination with white balance bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded for a single shot.

• Since three images are recorded for one shot, the card will take longer to record the shot.

• “BKT” stands for Bracketing.

3 Setting the Color Reproduction RangeN The range of reproducible colors is called the color space. With this camera, you can set the color space to sRGB or Adobe RGB for captured images. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended. In Basic Zone modes, sRGB is set automatically. 1 Select [Color space]. Under the [2] tab, select [Color space], then press <0>. 2 Set the desired color space. Select [sRGB] or [Adobe RGB], then press <0>. About Adobe RGB This color space is mainly used for commercial printing and other industrial uses. This setting is not recommended if you do not know about image processing, Adobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21). The image will look very subdued in a sRGB personal computer environment and with printers not compatible with Design rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21). Post-processing of the image with software will therefore be required. If the image is captured with the color space set to Adobe RGB, the file name will start with “_MG_” (first character is an underscore). The ICC profile is not appended. See explanations about the ICC profile in the Software Instruction Manual (p.272) in the CD-ROM. 119 COPY

Live View Shooting Cautions White <s> and Red <E> Internal Temperature Warning Icons

• If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged Live View shooting or a high ambient temperature, a white <s> icon will appear. If you continue shooting while this icon is displayed, the image quality of still photos may deteriorate. You should stop the Live View shooting and allow the camera to cool down before shooting again.

• If the camera’s internal temperature further increases while the white <s> icon is displayed, a red <E> icon will start blinking. This blinking icon is a warning that the Live View shooting will soon be terminated automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the camera’s internal temperature decreases. Turn off the power and let the camera rest for a while.

• Shooting with the Live View function at a high temperature for a prolonged period will cause the <s> and <E> icons to appear earlier. When not shooting, turn off the camera. Live View Image Cautions
  

  • Under low- or bright-light conditions, the Live View image might not reflect the brightness of the captured image.

  • If the light source within the image changes, the screen might flicker. If this happens, stop the Live View shooting and resume shooting under the actual light source to be used.

  • If you point the camera in a different direction, it might throw off the Live View image’s correct brightness momentarily. Wait until the brightness level stabilizes before shooting.

  • If there is a very bright light source in the picture, such as the sun, the bright area might appear black on the LCD monitor. However, the actual captured image will correctly show the bright area.

  • In low light, if you set the [6 LCD brightness] to a bright setting, chrominance noise may appear in the Live View image. However, the chrominance noise will not be recorded in the captured image.

  • When you magnify the image, the image sharpness may look more pronounced than it really is.

Live View Shooting Cautions Shooting Result Cautions

• When you shoot continuously with the Live View function for a long period, the camera’s internal temperature may increase and it can degrade image quality. Terminate Live View shooting when not shooting images.

• Before taking a long exposure, stop Live View shooting temporarily and wait several minutes before shooting. This is to prevent image degradation.

• Live View shooting in high temperatures and at high ISO speeds may cause noise or irregular colors.

• When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (banding, dots of light, etc.) may become noticeable.

• If you take the picture during magnified view, the exposure might not come out as desired. Return to the normal view before taking the picture. During the magnified view, the shutter speed and aperture will be displayed in orange. Even if you take the picture during magnified view, the image will be captured in the normal view.

• If [2 Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.107) is not set to [Disable], the image may look bright even if a decreased exposure compensation or decreased flash exposure compensation has been set.

• If you use a TS-E lens to shift the lens vertically or use an Extension Tube, the standard exposure might not be obtained or an irregular exposure may result. Custom Function Cautions During Live View shooting, certain Custom Function settings will not take effect (p.217). Lens and Flash Cautions
  

  • The focus preset feature on super telephoto lenses cannot be used.

  • FE lock is not possible when the built-in flash or an external Speedlite is used. Modeling flash will not work with an external Speedlite.
