Safety Warnings

Follow these safeguards and use the equipment properly to prevent

injury, death, and material damage.

Preventing Serious Injury or Death

• To prevent ﬁre, excessive heat, chemical leakage, and explosions, follow the

safeguards below:

- Do not use any batteries, power sources, and accessories not speciﬁed in this

booklet. Do not use any home-made or modiﬁed batteries.

- Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery pack or back-up battery. Do

not apply heat or apply solder to the battery pack or back-up battery. Do not expose

the battery pack or back-up battery to ﬁre or water. And do not subject the battery

pack or back-up battery to strong physical shock.

- Do not install the battery pack or back-up battery in reversed polarity (+ –). Do not

mix new and old or different types of batteries.

- Do not recharge the battery pack outside the allowable ambient temperature range

of 0°C - 40°C (32°F - 104°F). Also, do not exceed the recharging time.

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

accessories, connecting cables, etc.

• Keep the back-up battery away from children. If a child swallows the battery, consult a

physician immediately. (Battery chemicals may harm the stomach and intestines.)

• When disposing of a battery pack or back-up battery, insulate the electrical contacts

with tape to prevent contact with other metallic objects or batteries. This is to prevent

ﬁre or an explosion.

• If excessive heat, smoke, or fumes are emitted during battery pack recharging,

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

and prevent a ﬁre.

• If the battery pack or back-up battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or

fumes, remove it immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process.

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

blindness or skin problems. If the battery leakage contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing,

ﬂush the affected area with lots of clean water without rubbing it. See a physician

immediately.

• During the recharging, keep the equipment away from the reach of children. The cord

can accidentally choke the child or give an electrical shock.

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

insulation and cause a ﬁre or electrical shock.

• Do not ﬁre the ﬂash at someone driving a car. It may cause an accident.

• Do not ﬁre the ﬂash near a person’s eyes. It may impair the person’s vision. When

using ﬂash to photograph an infant, keep at least 1 meter away.

• Before storing the camera or accessory when not in use, remove the battery pack and

disconnect the power plug. This is to prevent electrical shock, heat generation, and

ﬁre.

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

explosion or ﬁre.

F11]QCA..,dk 4 ɚĘȸ ƒƐƐƓஉƑƑרƑƙ୸ý࣏ෙ୸ýعؽƓݰƑƔಠ

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

not touch the internal parts due to the possibility of electrical shock.

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

electrical shock.

• Do not look at the sun or an extremely bright light source through the camera or lens.

Doing so may damage your vision.

• Keep the camera from the reach of small children. The neck strap can accidentally

choke the child.

• Do not store the equipment in dusty or humid places. This is to prevent ﬁre and

electrical shock.

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

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

instruments or the hospital’s medical equipment.

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

- Always insert the power plug all the way in.

- Do not handle a power plug with wet hands.

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

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

Also do not twist or tie the cords.

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

- Do not use a cord whose insulation has been damaged.

• Occasionally unplug the power plug and use a dry cloth to clean off the dust around

the power outlet. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power outlet

may become moist and short-circuit the outlet to cause a ﬁre.

Preventing Injury or Equipment Damage

• Do not leave equipment inside a car under the hot sun or near a heat source. The

equipment may become hot and cause skin burns.

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

injury. Also make sure the tripod is sturdy enough to support the camera and lens.

• Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera under the sun without the lens cap

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

• Do not cover or wrap the battery-recharging apparatus with a cloth. Doing so may trap

heat within and cause the casing to deform or catch ﬁre.

• If you drop the camera in water or if water or metal fragments enter inside the camera,

promptly remove the battery pack and back-up battery. This is to prevent ﬁre and

electrical shock.

• Do not use or leave the battery pack or back-up battery in a hot environment. Doing so

may cause battery leakage or a shorter battery life. The battery pack or back-up

battery can also become hot and cause skin burns.

• Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the equipment.

Doing so may cause ﬁre or a health hazard.

If the product does not work properly or requires repair, contact your dealer

or your nearest Canon Service Center.

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 the camera

gets wet, remove the battery and promptly take it to the nearest Canon

dealer. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the camera has been

exposed to salty air, wipe with a well-wrung wet cloth.

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

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

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

magnetic ﬁelds and radio waves can cause camera misoperation or destroy

image data.

¡Do not leave the camera in excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight.

High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.

¡The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to

disassemble the camera yourself.

¡Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewﬁnder, mirror, and focusing

screen. Do not use cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean the

camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, consult your nearest Canon dealer.

¡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. Remove the lens, memory card, and battery and wait

until the condensation evaporates.

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

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

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

check that the camera is still working.

¡Avoid storing the camera where there are corrosive chemicals such as a

darkroom or chemical lab.

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

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

there is an important shoot coming up, have the camera checked by your

Canon dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working

properly.

Handling Precautions

F11]QCA..,dk 6 ɚĘȸ ƒƐƐƓஉƑƑרƑƙ୸ý࣏ෙ୸ýعؽƓݰƑƔಠ

LCD Panels and LCD Monitor

¡Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision

technology with over 99. 99% active pixels, there might be a few dead pixels

among the remaining 0. 01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying only black

or red, etc. , are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded.

¡At low temperatures, the liquid-crystal display response may become slower.

And at high temperatures, the display may blacken. In either case, the

display will return to normal at room temperature.

Memory Cards

¡Memory cards are precision devices. Do not drop the memory card or

subject it to vibration. Physical shock or vibration may destroy the images

recorded in the card.

¡Do not store or use a memory card near anything having a strong magnetic

ﬁeld such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet or in places prone to having

static electricity. Such environments may destroy the images recorded on

the card.

¡Do not leave memory cards in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Heat

can deform the cards and render them unusable.

¡Do not spill any liquids on the memory card.

¡To protect the recorded image data, always store the memory card in a case.

¡Some non-Canon memory cards may not be able to record and playback

images. In such a case, use a memory card made by Canon.

¡Do not bend the card or subject it to any excessive force or physical shock.

¡Do not store memory cards in hot, dusty, or humid locations.

Lens Electrical Contacts

After detaching the lens from the camera, attach the

lens caps or put down the lens with the rear end up

to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical

contacts.

Cautions for Prolonged Use

qIf the <4> switch is left <1> 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.

The EOS-1D Mark II’s AF points are all horizontal-line sensitive.

However, bright lenses with a large maximum aperture enable certain

AF points to work as cross-type sensors for higher AF precision.

(1)

With lenses whose maximum aperture is f/2.8 or

larger, the AF points highlighted in the diagram will

work as cross-type sensors sensitive to both vertical

only be horizontal-line sensitive. The cross-type

sensor’s vertical-line sensitivity is about three times

higher than its horizontal-line sensitivity.

(2) With the following L-series lenses whose

maximum aperture is f/4 or brighter, the center

Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (the focus conﬁrmation light <o>

blinks) with certain subjects such as the following:

Subjects difficult to focus

(a) Low-contrast subjects

Example: Blue sky, solid-color walls, etc.

(b) Subjects in low light.

Example: Car with a reﬂective body, etc.

(d) Overlapping near and far objects

Example: Animal in a cage, etc.

(e) Repetitive patterns

Example: Skyscraper windows, computer keyboards, etc.

In such cases, do one of the following:

(1) Focus an object at the same distance as the subject and lock the

focus before recomposing.

(2) Set the lens focus mode switch to <g> and focus manually.

An EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlite makes ﬂash photography as

easy as any AE mode. For details on using the EX-series Speedlite,

refer to the Speedlite’s instruction manual. The EOS-1D Mark II is a

Type-A camera compatible with all EX-series Speedlites providing the

features below.

• E-TTL II Autoﬂash

E-TTL II is a new autoﬂash exposure system incorporating improved

ﬂash exposure control and lens focusing distance information,

making it more precise than the previous E-TTL (evaluative ﬂash

metering with preﬂash) system.The camera can execute E-TTL II

autoﬂash with any EX-series Speedlite.

• High-Speed Sync (FP Flash)

High-speed sync (FP or focal-plane ﬂash) enables ﬂash

synchronization with all shutter speeds from 30 sec. to 1/8000 sec.

• FE (Flash Exposure) Lock

Press the camera’s button to lock the ﬂash exposure at the

desired part of the subject. This is the ﬂash equivalent of AE lock.

• Flash exposure compensation

In the same way as normal exposure compensation, you can set

exposure compensation for ﬂash. Set ﬂash exposure compensation

up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments.

• FEB (Flash Exposure Bracketing)

FEB is the ﬂash version of AEB. (Only with FEB-compatible

Speedlites.) Set ﬂash exposure bracketing up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop

increments.

• E-TTL II wireless autoﬂash with multiple Speedlites

Like with wired, multiple Speedlites, E-TTL II wireless autoﬂash with

multiple Speedlites provides all the above features. Since connection

cords are unnecessary, ﬂexible and sophisticated lighting setups are

possible. (Only with wireless-compatible Speedlites.)

¡With TTL and A-TTL autoﬂash Speedlites (EZ-, E-, EG-, ML-, TL-

series) set in the TTL or A-TTL autoﬂash mode, the ﬂash will be ﬁred

only at full output. If you set the camera’s shooting mode to manual or

aperture-priority AE, you can adjust the aperture and ﬁre the ﬂash at

full output. Meanwhile, the Speedlite will remain in the TTL or A-TTL

autoﬂash mode.

¡When the 550EX is set to C.Fn-03-1, the ﬂash will be ﬁred at full

output even in the TTL autoﬂash mode.

TTL and A-TTL Autoflash Speedlites

Metered Manual Flash Exposure

For closeup ﬂash photography, you can set the ﬂash exposure

manually. With an EX-series Speedlite having a manual ﬂash mode,

follow the procedure below:

1Set the camera and Speedlite settings.

¡Set the camera’s shooting mode to <a> or <f>.

¡Set the Speedlite to manual ﬂash.

2 Focus the subject.

¡Focus manually.

3 Aim the spot metering circle over the subject, then

press the <FEL> button (8).

sThe Speedlite will ﬁre a preﬂash and the required ﬂash output

is retained in memory.

sIn the viewﬁnder, the exposure level indicator will indicate the

currently-set ﬂash exposure level relative to the standard

exposure index.

4 Set the ﬂash exposure level.

Adjust the Speedlite’s manual ﬂash level and the

camera aperture so that the ﬂash exposure level

indicator is aligned with the standard exposure index.

5Take the picture.

Sync Speed

The EOS-1D Mark II can synchronize with compact, non-Canon ﬂash

units at 1/250 sec. or slower shutter speeds. With large studio ﬂash, the

sync speed is 1/125 sec. or slower. Be sure to test the ﬂash to see if it

synchronizes properly with the camera.

PC Terminal

¡The camera’s PC terminal is provided for ﬂash units having a sync

cord. The PC terminal is threaded to prevent inadvertent

disconnection.

¡The camera’s PC terminal has no polarity so you can connect any

sync cord regardless of its polarity.

Non-Canon Flash Units

¡If the camera is used with a ﬂash unit (with dedicated ﬂash contacts) or

ﬂash accessory dedicated to another camera brand, the camera may not

operate properly and camera malfunction may result. Also, do not

connect to the camera’s PC terminal any ﬂash unit requiring 250 V or

higher voltage.

¡Do not attach a high voltage ﬂash unit on the camera’s hot shoe. It might

not work.

A Speedlite attached to the camera’s hot shoe and a ﬂash unit connected to

the PC terminal can be used at the same time.

[Bright.] Display

This histogram is a graph showing the

distribution of the image’s brightness level. The

horizontal axis indicates the brightness level

(darker on the left and brighter on the right),

while the vertical axis indicates how many pixels

exist for each brightness level.

The more pixels there are toward the left, the

darker the image. And the more pixels there are

toward the right, the brighter the image.

If there are too many pixels on the left, the

shadow detail will be lost. And if there are too

many pixels on the right, the highlight detail will

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

By checking the image’s brightness histogram,

you can see the exposure level bias and the

overall tone reproduction condition.

[RGB] Display

This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of the image’s

brightness level of each primary color (RGB or red, blue, and green).

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

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

pixels exist for each color brightness level. The more pixels there are

toward the left, the darker and less prominent the color. And the more

pixels there are toward the right, the brighter and denser the color. If

there are too many pixels on the left, the respective color information

will be lacking. And if there are too many pixels on the right, the color

will be too saturated with no detail.

By checking the image’s RGB histogram, you can see the color’s

saturation and gradation condition and white balance bias.

With DPOF (Digital Print Order Format), you can

specify which images in the Memory card are to be

printed and the quantity. This feature is very convenient

when you make prints with a DPOF-compatible printer

or photo lab.

DPOF

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) is a standard for recording

print ordering instructions to the memory card. It is for images

taken with a digital camera, and you can specify which photos

camera, you can do the following:

¡By ﬁtting a Memory card into a printer compatible with

DPOF, you can make prints as speciﬁed.

¡Printers capable of direct printing from the camera can print

C.Fn-09 Auto bracketing sequence / Auto cancel

You can change the AEB sequence when you bracket with the shutter

speed, aperture, or ISO speed. You can also change the white balance

bracketing sequence.

When “Auto cancellation” is set, bracketing will be canceled after you

change the lens or turn the <4> switch to <2>.

1: The ﬁrst bracketed shot is the standard exposure (or exposed with

the standard white balance). This bracketing sequence can be

repeated.

2: Starts the bracketing sequence with the decreased level.

3: Repeats the bracketing sequence starting with the decreased

level.

C.Fn-10 AF point illumination

1: The AF point does not light at all. Effective when it is bothersome

to see it light up.

2: Prevents the dimmed lighting of C.Fn-10-0.

Effective when the AF point lighting is difﬁcult to see with C.Fn-10-0.

C.Fn-11 AF point selection method

1: This reverses the functions of the <S> button and <O> button.

¡While exposure metering is active, turn the <5> dial to select a

horizontal AF point. (If C.Fn-13-3 has been set, select a

peripheral AF point.) This is also possible while you press the

shutter button halfway and during continuous shooting with AI

Servo AF. The AF point selection stops at the extreme left,

extreme right, top-most, and bottom-most AF points.

¡During autofocusing, you can press the <S> button to switch

instantly to the automatic AF point selection mode.

¡You can also select the AF point (including automatic AF point

selection) with the same operation as C.Fn-11-1.

¡If both C.Fn-11-2 and C.Fn-18-1/2 (p.153) have been set, select

a vertical AF point by pressing the <O> button and turning the

<5> dial.

C.Fn-12 Mirror lockup

1: Effective for close-up and telephoto shots to prevent camera shake

caused by the mirror’s reﬂex action. See page 97 for the mirror

lockup procedure.

C.Fn-13 Number of AF points/Spot metering

1: The selectable AF points are limited to 11. Spot metering is linked

to the active AF point. (p.81)

2: The selectable AF points are limited to 11. Spot metering is linked

to the center AF point. (p.81)

3: The selectable AF points are limited to 9. Spot metering is linked

to the active AF point. (p.81)

C.Fn-14 E-TTL II autoﬂash system

0: Fully automatic ﬂash photography for all conditions, from low light

to daylight ﬁll-ﬂash.

The ﬂash exposure will be averaged over the Area AF ellipse. Since

automatic ﬂash exposure compensation will not be executed, you may have

to set it yourself depending on the scene. This also applies if you use FE lock.

C.Fn-15 Shutter curtain synchronization

1: By using a slow sync speed, you can create a light trail following a

moving subject. The ﬂash ﬁres right before the shutter closes. This

Custom Function can be used to obtain 2nd-curtain sync effects

even with EX-series Speedlites which do not have this feature. If

an EX-series Speedlite having this feature is set for 2nd-curtain

sync, it will override this Custom Function.

¡The metering mode must be set to spot metering before it can be

linked to the AF point.

¡If C.Fn-13-1/2 is set or cleared, the registered AF point (p.70) will be

replaced by the center AF point.

¡Any metering mode besides spot metering can be used.

¡With C.Fn-13-1/2/3, all 45 AF points will be available for automatic

selection.

¡With C.Fn-13-1/3, FE lock is possible with any AF point you select.

C.Fn-16 Safety shift setting

Safety shift can be set for the shutter-priority AE and aperture-priority

AE modes.

1: If the subject’s brightness changes suddenly and the current

shutter-priority AE or aperture-priority AE setting becomes

unsuitable, the shutter speed or aperture is shifted to obtain a

suitable exposure automatically.

C.Fn-17 AF point activation area

1: The AF point activation area expands by one point all around the

manually-selected AF point. A total of 7 AF points become active.

This setting is effective for when only one manually-selected AF

point is unable to focus track a subject moving erratically.

2: The camera automatically sets the AF point activation area to 7 or

13 points to suit the lens focal length and AF mode.This is effective

when the subjectís movement is unpredictable.

¡The AF point activation area centers on the selected AF point.

Therefore, if a peripheral AF point is selected, the AF point

activation area will be smaller as shown below.

¡Setting C.Fn-13 will also expand the AF point activation area.

C.Fn-18 Switch to the registered AF point

1: Press the button to switch to the registered AF point.

2: Switch to the registered AF point only while you press the

button. When you release the button, the AF point selected

previously becomes active again. You can thereby easily switch

between the selected AF point and registered AF point.

C.Fn-19 Lens AF stop button function

1: AF operates only while the AF stop button is pressed. While the

button is pressed, AF operation with the camera is disabled.

2 : When the button is pressed while metering is still active, AE lock

takes effect. Convenient when you want to focus and meter

separately.

3 : In the manual AF point selection mode, holding down the button

switches to automatic AF point selection (among 45 AF points).

Holding down the button switches from manual AF point selection

to automatic AF point selection instantly. Convenient when you are

no longer able to focus track a moving subject with a manually-

selected AF point in the AI Servo AF mode.

In the automatic AF point selection mode, the center AF point is

selected only while you hold down the button.

4 : In the One-Shot AF mode, the camera switches to AI Servo AF

mode only while you hold down the button. In the AI Servo AF

mode, the camera switches to One-Shot AF mode only while you

hold down the button. Convenient when you need to keep

switching between One-Shot AF and AI Servo AF for a subject

which keeps moving and stopping.

5: With the lens’ IS switch already ON, the Image Stabilizer operates

only while you press the button.

If C.Fn-04-1/3 is also set, you can press the button to switch to

the registered AF point and start the AF at the same time.
