Refer to This Manual while Using the Camera to Further
Familiarize Yourself with the Camera
With a digital camera, you can immediately view the image you have
captured. While reading this manual, take a few test shots and see how
they come out. You can then better understand the camera.
To avoid botched pictures and accidents, first read the “Safety
Warnings” (p.343, 344) and “Handling Precautions” (p.16, 17).

Testing the Camera Before Use and Liability
After shooting, play images back and check whether they have been
properly recorded. If the camera or memory card is faulty and the
images cannot be recorded or downloaded to a computer, Canon
cannot be held liable for any loss or inconvenience caused.

Copyright laws in your country may prohibit the use of your recorded
images or copyrighted music and images with music in the memory
card for anything other than private enjoyment. Also be aware that
certain public performances, exhibitions, etc., may prohibit photography
even for private enjoyment.
This camera is compatible with SD memory cards, SDHC memory
cards, and SDXC memory cards. In this manual, “card” refers to all
these cards.
* The camera does not come with a card for recording images/

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 the 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.
Do not block the mirror operation with your finger, etc. Doing so may cause a
malfunction.
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 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.

Handling Precautions

LCD Monitor
Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision
technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there may 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.
The LCD monitor display may seem slow in low temperatures, or look black
in high temperatures. It will return to normal at room temperature.

Cards
To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:
Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force,
physical shock, or vibration.
Do not touch the card’s electronic contacts with your fingers or anything
metallic.
Do not affix any stickers, etc., on the card.
Do not store or use the card near anything 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.

After detaching the lens from the camera, put down the
lens with the rear end up and attach the lens caps to
avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.

Cautions regarding 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 still
remain after the automatic sensor cleaning, having the sensor cleaned by a
Canon Service Center is recommended.

the battery.
3 Recharge
For LC-E8

As shown by the arrow, flip out the
battery charger’s prongs and insert
the prongs into a power outlet.

Connect the power cord to the
charger and insert the plug into a
power outlet.

X Recharging starts automatically and
the charge lamp lights up in orange.
X When the battery is fully recharged,
the full-charge lamp will light up in
green.
It takes approx. 2 hours to fully recharge a completely
exhausted battery at 23°C / 73°F. The time required to recharge
the battery will vary greatly depending on the ambient
temperature and the battery’s remaining capacity.
For safety reasons, recharging in low temperatures (6°C - 10°C /
43°F - 50°F) will take longer (up to approx. 4 hours).

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 capacity.
After recharging the battery, detach it and disconnect 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 when it is fully charged may
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-E8.
Battery Pack LP-E8 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.

Installing and Removing the Battery

3 TakeWhen
the picture looks steady in the
viewfinder, press the shutter button
completely to take the picture.

The Image Stabilizer cannot correct “subject blur”, when the subject
moves at the time of exposure.
For bulb exposures, set the IS switch to <2>. If <1> is set, Image

The Image Stabilizer may not be effective for excessive shaking such as
on a rocking boat.
The Image Stabilizer can operate with the lens focus mode switch set to
either or .
When using a tripod, you can still shoot with the IS switch set to <1>
with no problem. However, to save battery power, setting the IS switch to
<2> is recommended.
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 following lenses switch the IS mode
automatically:
• EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II
• EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM
• EF-S15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM • EF-S18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS

Basic Operation
Adjusting the Viewfinder Clarity
Turn the dioptric adjustment
knob.
Turn the knob left or right until the
nine AF points in the viewfinder look
sharp.
If the camera’s dioptric adjustment still cannot provide a sharp viewfinder
image, using E-series Dioptric Adjustment Lenses (10 types, sold
separately) is recommended.

Holding the Camera

To obtain sharp images, hold the camera still to minimize camera shake.

formatting will take slightly longer than normal formatting.
You can stop the low-level formatting by selecting [Cancel]. Even in this
case, normal formatting will be completed and you can use the card as
usual.

When the card is formatted or data is erased, only the file management
information is changed. The actual data is not completely erased. Be
aware of this when selling or discarding the card. When discarding the
card, execute low-level formatting or destroy the card physically to
prevent the personal data from being leaked.
Before using a new Eye-Fi card, the software in the card must be
installed in your computer. Then format the card with the camera.
The card capacity displayed on the card format screen may be smaller
than the capacity indicated on the card.

Basic Shooting and
Image Playback

This chapter explains how to use the Basic Zone modes
on the Mode Dial for best results and how to play back
images.

With Basic Zone modes, all you do is point and shoot while the
camera sets everything automatically (p.75, 310). Also, to
prevent botched pictures due to mistaken operations, the main
shooting settings cannot be changed.

About the Auto Lighting Optimizer
In Basic Zone modes, the Auto Lighting Optimizer (p.123) will
adjust the image automatically to obtain the optimum brightness
and contrast. It is also enabled by default in Creative Zone modes.

A Fully Automatic Shooting (Scene Intelligent Auto)
is a fully automatic mode. The camera analyzes the scene
and sets the optimum settings automatically. It also adjusts focus
automatically by detecting whether the subject is still or moving (p.61).

Set the Mode Dial to .

Aim the AF point over an area having good contrast, then press the
shutter button halfway (p.43). If you are too close to the subject,
move away and try again.

Multiple AF points flash simultaneously.
This indicates that focus is 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 does not light up.)
It indicates that the camera is focusing continuously on a moving
subject. (The focus confirmation light does not light up.) You
can take sharp pictures of a moving subject.
Note that focus lock (p.61) will not work in this case.
Pressing the shutter button halfway does not focus the subject.
If the focus mode switch on the lens is set to (manual focus),
set it to (autofocus).

A Fully Automatic Shooting (Scene Intelligent Auto)

The flash was raised even though it was daylight.
For a backlit subject, the flash may pop up to help lighten the
subject’s dark areas. If you do not want the flash to fire, set it to
Flash Off (p.63). Except for the flash setting, the settings will be the
same as in .

Move father from the subject and shoot. When shooting flash
photography, if the subject is too close to the camera, the picture
may come out extremely bright (overexposure).
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 approx. 4 meters/13.1 feet.
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 is attached to the lens, remove it
before taking the flash picture.

A Full Auto Techniques (Scene Intelligent Auto)
Recomposing the Shot

Depending on the scene, position the subject toward the left or right to
create a balanced background and good perspective.
In the mode, while you press the shutter button halfway to focus
a still subject, the focus will be locked. You can then recompose the
shot and press the shutter button completely to take the picture. This is
called “focus lock”. Focus lock is also possible in other Basic Zone
modes (except <5> Sports).

Shooting a Moving Subject

In the mode, if the subject moves (distance to camera changes)
while or after you focus, AI Servo AF will take effect to focus the subject
continuously. (The beeper will continue beeping softly.) As long as you
keep aiming the AF point on the subject while pressing the shutter
button halfway, the focusing will be continuous. When you want to take
the picture, press the shutter button completely.

You can also rotate the LCD monitor in different directions (p.33).

7 Disabling Flash
The camera analyzes the scene and sets the optimum settings
automatically. 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.

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.
Take 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 may look
blurred in the picture.

C Creative Auto Shooting
In the mode, you can easily change the depth of field, drive
mode, and flash firing. You can also choose the ambience you want to

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.

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.

The default setting is (Continuous shooting). If you hold down the
shutter button, you can shoot continuously to obtain different poses and
facial expressions (max. approx. 5 shots/sec.).
If necessary, the built-in flash will be raised automatically.

3 Shooting Landscapes
Use the <3> (Landscape) mode for wide scenery or to have
everything in focus from near to far. For vivid blues and greens, and
very sharp and crisp images.

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.

The flash will not fire even in backlit or low-light conditions.

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).

Use a simple background.
A simple background makes the flower, etc., stand out better.
Move as close as possible to the subject.
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 (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 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.

5 Shooting Moving Subjects
To photograph a moving subject, whether it is a child running or a
moving vehicle, use the <5> (Sports) mode.

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 will blink.
The default setting is (Continuous shooting). When you want
to take the picture, press the shutter button completely. If you hold
down the shutter button, continuous shooting (max. approx. 5 shots
per sec.) and autofocusing will take effect to capture the movement
of the subject.

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.

6 Shooting Night Portraits (With a Tripod)
To shoot people at night and obtain a natural-looking night scene in the
background, use the <6> (Night Portrait) mode.

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.
Check the subject’s brightness.
Under low light, the built-in flash will fire automatically to obtain a
good exposure of the subject. You should then play back the image
to check the image brightness. If the subject looks dark, move
nearer and shoot again.
Also shoot in another shooting mode.
Since camera shake is prone to occur with night shots, shooting also
with and 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
up briefly after the picture is taken.

F Shooting Night Scenes Handheld
Normally, a tripod is necessary to steady your camera when shooting a
night scene. However, with the (Handheld Night Scene) mode,
you can shoot night scenes while handholding the camera. In this
mode, four shots are taken continuously for each picture. A bright
image with reduced camera shake is taken.

Hold the camera firmly.
While shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. If any of the four
shots are greatly misaligned due to camera shake, etc., they may
not align properly in the final image.
If you are shooting only the night scene, set Flash off.
The default setting is set to Flash off. If you are shooting only
the night scene, set Flash off.
For shots of people, turn on the flash.
If you shoot people in the night scene, press the button to
select Flash off, then set (Flash on).
To take a nice portrait, the first shot will use flash. Tell the person not
to move until all four continuous shots are taken.
See the cautions on page 74.

G Shooting Backlit Scenes
When shooting a scene having both bright and dark areas, use the
(HDR Backlight Control) mode. When you take a picture, three
continuous shots will be taken at different exposures. The loss of detail
in highlights and shadows will be reduced in the final image.

Hold the camera firmly.
While shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. If the continuous
shots are very misaligned due to camera shake, etc., they may not
align properly in the final image.

Flash cannot be used. In low light, the AF-assist beam will be emitted
(p.98).
See the cautions on page 74.

Cautions for
When shooting flash photography, if the subject is too close to the
camera, the picture may come out extremely bright (overexposure).
If you use flash when shooting dimly lit night scenes, or human subjects
in situations where the subject and background are both near enough to
be illuminated by the flash, the shots may not align correctly. This can
result in a blurry photo.
Shooting with an external Speedlite
• When using a Speedlite with automatic flash coverage setting, the
zoom position will be fixed to the wide end, regardless of the lens’ zoom
position.
• When using a Speedlite with manual flash coverage switch, shoot with
the flash head retracted to the wide (normal) position.
Cautions for
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.

Cautions for and
Compared with other shooting modes, the shooting area will be smaller.
1+73 or 1 cannot be selected. With other shooting modes, if
1+73 or 1 is set, the picture will be recorded in 73.
If you shoot a moving subject, ghost-like images of the subject may
result.
The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns
(lattice, stripes, etc.), flat or single-tone images, or greatly misaligned
shots caused by camera shake.
Compared to normal shooting, recording the image to the card will take
longer. During the processing of the images, “BUSY” will be displayed
and you cannot take another picture until the processing is completed.
If the Mode Dial is set to or , direct printing is not possible.
Select other mode and perform direct printing.

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 was able to 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 may 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.

3 Setting the Image-Recording Quality

About 1
1 is the raw image data before it is made into 73 or other images.
Although 1 images require software such as Digital Photo

computer, they also offer flexibility for image adjustments possible only
with 1. 1 is effective when you want to precisely adjust the image
yourself or shoot an important subject.

About 1+73
1+73 records both a 1 and 73 image with a single shot. The
two images are saved to the card simultaneously. The two images will
be saved in the same folder with the same file numbers (file extension
.JPG for JPEG and .CR2 for RAW). 73 images can be viewed or
printed even with a computer that does not have the software provided
with the camera installed.

Commercially-available software may not be able to display RAW images.
Using the provided software is recommended.

Under [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [3: Highlight tone priority] is
set to [1: Enable], ISO 100 and “H” (equivalent to ISO 25600) cannot be
selected (p.295).
Shooting in high temperatures may result in images that look grainier.
Long exposures can also cause irregular colors in the image.

i: Changing the ISO SpeedN

When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (such as dots of light and
banding) may become noticeable.
If you use a high ISO speed and flash to shoot a close subject,
overexposure may result.
With ISO 12800 or “H” (equivalent to ISO 25600), the maximum burst for
continuous shooting will greatly decrease.
As “H” (equivalent to ISO 25600) is an expanded ISO speed setting,
noise (such as dots of light and banding) and irregular colors will be more
noticeable, and the resolution will be lower than usual.
As the maximum ISO speed that can be set differs between still photo
shooting and movie shooting (manual exposure), the ISO speed you set
may change when you switch from still photo shooting to movie shooting.
Even if you switch back to still photo shooting, the ISO speed will not
revert to the original setting.
The maximum ISO speed settable varies depending on the setting for [2:
ISO expansion] under [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)].
• When [0: Off] is set: If you set ISO 12800 during still photo shooting
and then switch to movie shooting, ISO speed will be changed to ISO
6400.
• When [1: On] is set: If you set ISO 12800/H (equivalent to ISO 25600)
during still photo shooting and then switch to movie shooting, ISO
speed will be changed to H (equivalent to ISO 12800).

ISO [AUTO]
If the ISO speed is set to [AUTO], the
actual ISO speed to be set will be
displayed when you press the shutter
button halfway. As indicated on the next

One-Shot AF for Still Subjects
Suited for still subjects. When you press the shutter button
halfway, the camera will focus only once.
When focus is achieved, the dot inside the AF point achieving focus
lights up briefly in red, and the focus confirmation light in the
viewfinder will also light up.
With evaluative metering (p.115), the exposure setting will be set at
the same time focus is achieved.
While you hold down the shutter button halfway, the focus will be
locked. You can then recompose the shot if desired.

f: Changing the Autofocus OperationN

If focus cannot be achieved, the focus confirmation light in the
viewfinder will blink. If this occurs, the 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.100).
If [z1: Beep] is set to [Disable], the beeper will not sound when focus
is achieved.

AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects
This AF operation is suited 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.97) 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.

With AI Servo AF, the beeper will not sound even when focus is achieved.
Also, the focus confirmation light in the viewfinder will not light up.

AI Focus AF for Automatic Switching of AF Operation
AI Focus AF switches the AF operation from One-Shot AF to AI
Servo AF automatically if a still subject starts moving.
After the subject is focused in One-Shot AF operation, if the subject
starts moving, the camera will detect the movement, change the AF
operation automatically to AI Servo AF, and keep tracking the
moving subject.
When focus is achieved in the AI Focus AF operation with the Servo mode
active, the beeper will sound softly. However, the focus confirmation light
in the viewfinder will not light up. Note that focus will not be locked in
this case.

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.96).
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 with AI Servo AF operation.
The effective range of the AF-assist beam emitted by the built-in flash is
approx. 4 meters/13.1 feet.
In Creative Zone modes when you raise the built-in flash with the
button (p.104), the AF-assist beam will be emitted when necessary. Note
that depending on the setting for [4: AF-assist beam firing] under [54:
Custom Functions (C.Fn)], AF beam will not be emitted.

S Selecting the AF PointN

AF Operation and Maximum Lens Apertures
With maximum apertures up to f/5.6:
Cross-type focusing (vertical and horizontal lines detected
simultaneously) is possible with all AF points. With certain lenses (see
below), the off-center AF points will detect only vertical or horizontal
lines (no cross-type focusing).
With maximum apertures up to f/2.8:*
High-precision cross-type focusing (vertical and horizontal lines
detected simultaneously) is possible with the center AF point. The
center AF point is about twice as sensitive as the other AF points to
detect vertical and horizontal lines.
The remaining eight AF points enable cross-type focusing in the same
way as when using lenses with maximum apertures up to f/5.6.

* Except with the EF28-80mm f/2.8-4L USM and EF50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro.

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
[u+Tracking], [FlexiZone - Multi], and [FlexiZone - Single] during Live
View shooting). For details, refer to the Extender’s instruction manual.

Lenses not Enabling Cross-Type Focusing with all AF Points
The following lenses enable only horizontal-line sensitive focusing with
the three AF points on the left and the three AF points on the right and
only vertical-line sensitive focusing with the top and bottom AF points.
Cross-type focusing is possible only with the center AF point.
EF35-80mm f/4-5.6
EF35-80mm f/4-5.6 II
EF35-80mm f/4-5.6 III
EF35-80mm f/4-5.6 USM

EF80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 II
EF80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 USM

Subjects Difficult to Focus
Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (viewfinder’s focus confirmation light
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 either 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.61).
(2) Set the lens focus mode switch to and focus manually.

i Continuous Shooting

The maximum continuous shooting speed of approx. 5 shots per second
is achieved* with a shutter speed of 1/500 sec. or faster and at the
maximum aperture (differs depending on the lens). The continuous
shooting speed may decrease due to shutter speed, aperture, subject
conditions, brightness, lens, flash use, etc.
* With the following lenses, 5 shots per second is achieved with OneShot AF and the Image Stabilizer turned off: EF300mm f/4L IS USM,
EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM, EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM, and
EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM.
In AI Servo AF operation, the continuous shooting speed may become
slightly slower depending on the subject and the lens used.

D Using the Built-in Flash

Shooting Tips
If the subject is far away, increase the ISO speed (p.90).
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 may 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 function in any shooting mode except <7>,
<3>, <5>, or .

Under the [z1] 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 up. Then when
you press the shutter button
completely, the picture will be taken.

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.

viewfinder displays only the denominator. Also, “0"5” indicates 0.5 sec. and
“15"” is 15 sec.

s: Convey the Subject’s Movement

Shooting Tips
To freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject
Use a fast shutter speed such as 1/4000 sec. to 1/500 sec.
To blur a running child or animal and convey an impression of
motion
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.
To blur a flowing river or 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.
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

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.

D 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 shutter speed can be set from 1/200 sec. to 30 sec.

f: Changing the Depth of Field
To blur the background or to make everything near and far look sharp,
set the Mode Dial to (Aperture-priority AE) to adjust the depth of
field (range of acceptable focus).

Shooting Tips
When using an aperture with a high f/number or shooting in low
light scenes, note that camera shake can occur.
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

D 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.
To prevent a slow shutter speed, under [z1: Flash control], set
[Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to [1/200-1/60 sec. auto] or [1/200
sec. (fixed)] (p.215).

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 on the
LCD monitor, the depth of field will look narrow.
Press the depth-of-field preview button
to stop down the lens to the current
aperture setting and check the depth of
field (range of acceptable focus).

While looking at the Live View image (p.144) and holding down the depth-offield preview button, you can change the aperture and see how the depth of
field changes.

a: Manual Exposure
You can set both the shutter speed and aperture manually as desired.

The shutter speed can be set from 1/200 sec. to 30 sec.

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 and other subjects requiring
long exposures.
In step 2 on the preceding page, turn the
<6> dial to the left to set .
The elapsed exposure time will be
displayed on the LCD monitor.

During the bulb exposure, 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 may
look a little grainy.
When [z3: Long exp. noise reduction] is set to [Auto] or [Enable],
noise generated by the long exposure can be reduced (p.125).
For bulb exposures, using a tripod and Remote Switch (sold separately,
p.304) is recommended.
You can also use a remote controller (sold separately, p.303) for bulb
exposures. When you press the remote controller’s transmit button, the
bulb exposure will start immediately or 2 sec. later. Press the button
again to stop the bulb exposure.

q Changing the Metering ModeN
Four methods (metering modes) to measure the subject’s brightness
are provided. Normally, evaluative metering is recommended.

q Evaluative metering

This is a general-purpose metering mode suited
even for backlit subjects. The camera sets the
exposure automatically to suit the scene.

w Partial metering
Effective when the background is much brighter
than the subject due to backlighting, etc. The
gray area in the left figure is where the
brightness is metered to obtain the standard
exposure.
r Spot metering
This is for metering a specific part of the subject
or scene. The gray area in the left figure is
where the brightness is metered to obtain the
standard exposure. This metering mode is for
advanced users.

q Changing the Metering ModeN

e Center-weighted average metering
The brightness is metered at the image center
and then averaged for the entire scene. This
metering mode is for advanced users.

Metering Range During Live View Shooting
With q (evaluative metering) and e (center-weighted average
metering), the metering range is almost the same as with viewfinder
shooting.
With w (partial metering) and r (spot metering), the metering
range slightly differs from viewfinder shooting. The approximate
metering ranges are as shown below:
Partial metering

* The figures show when [Grid 2 m] is set. The metering ranges are not
displayed on the LCD monitor.

With q (evaluative metering) during viewfinder shooting, the exposure
setting will be locked when you press the shutter button halfway and focus is
achieved. With w (partial metering), r (spot metering), and e (centerweighted average metering), exposure setting is set at the moment of
exposure. (The exposure setting is not locked when you press the shutter
button halfway.) During Live View shooting, the exposure setting is set at the
moment of exposure, regardless of the metering mode setting.

Setting Exposure CompensationN
O Setting Exposure Compensation
Set exposure compensation if the exposure (without flash) does not come out
as desired. This feature can be used in Creative Zone modes (except ).
You can set the exposure compensation up to ±5 stops in 1/3-stop increments.

Shooting Tips
Using AEB with continuous shooting
If continuous shooting (p.101) is set and you press the shutter
button completely, the three bracketed shots will be taken
continuously in this sequence: standard exposure, decreased
exposure, and increased exposure.
Using AEB with single shooting
Press the shutter button three times to take the three bracketed
shots. The three bracketed shots will be exposed in the following
sequence: standard exposure, decreased exposure, and increased
exposure.

Using AEB with the self-timer or a remote controller (sold
separately)
With the self-timer or a remote control shooting ( or ),
you can take three continuous shots after a 10-sec. or 2-sec. delay.
With (p.103) set, the number of continuous shots will be three
times the number set.

AEB cannot be used with flash, [Multi Shot Noise Reduction], or bulb
exposures.
If [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.123) is set to any setting other
than [Disable], the AEB’s effect may be minimal.

A Locking the ExposureN
You can lock the exposure when the area of focus is to be different from the

3 Auto Correction of Brightness and ContrastN
If the image comes out dark or the contrast is low, the brightness and
contrast can be corrected automatically. This function is called Auto
Lighting Optimizer. The default setting is [Standard]. With JPEG
images, the correction is done when the image is captured. For RAW
images, it can be corrected with Digital Photo Professional (provided
software, p.350).
In Basic Zone modes, [Standard] is set automatically.

If a setting other than [Disable] is set and you use exposure
compensation or flash exposure compensation to darken the exposure,
the image may still come out bright. If you want a darker exposure, set
this function to [Disable].
Depending on the shooting conditions, noise may increase.
In step 2, if you press the button and uncheck the [Disable
during man expo] setting, the Auto Lighting Optimizer can be set in the

About [Multi Shot Noise Reduction]
The following functions cannot be set: AEB, WB bracketing, [z3: Long
exp. noise reduction], 1+73/1. If any of these has already been
set, [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] cannot be set.
Flash shooting is not possible. The AF-assist beam will be emitted according to
the [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)]’s [4: AF-assist beam firing] setting.
You cannot set [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] for bulb exposures.
If you turn off the power or change the shooting mode to a Basic Zone
mode, movie shooting, or bulb, the setting will change to [Standard].
If the images are greatly misaligned due to camera shake or if there is a
moving subject, the noise reduction effect may be minimal.
If you are handholding the camera, keep it steady to prevent camera
shake. Using a tripod is recommended.
The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns
(lattice, stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.
Recording the image to the card will take longer than with normal
shooting. During the processing of the images, “BUSY” will be displayed
and you cannot take another picture until the processing is completed.
[z3: Dust Delete Data] cannot be set.
If [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] is set, direct printing is not possible. Select a
setting other than [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] and perform direct printing.

If you play back a 1+73 or 1 image with the camera or print an image
directly, the effect of the high ISO speed noise reduction may look minimal.
Check the noise reduction effect or print noise-reduced images with Digital
Photo Professional (provided software, p.350).

setting than with the [Disable] or [Auto] setting.
With [Auto] and [Enable], if a long exposure is shot with the Live View
image displayed, “BUSY” will be displayed during the noise reduction
process. The Live View display will not reappear until the noise reduction
is completed. (You cannot take another picture.)

3 Lens Peripheral Illumination / Chromatic Aberration Correction
Peripheral light fall-off is a phenomenon that makes the image corners
look darker due to the lens characteristics. Color fringing along subject
outlines is another chromatic aberration. Both lens aberrations can be

3 Lens Peripheral Illumination / Chromatic Aberration Correction

About the Lens Correction Data
The camera already contains lens peripheral illumination correction
data and chromatic aberration correction data for approx. 25 lenses. If
you select [Enable], the peripheral illumination correction and
chromatic aberration correction will be applied automatically for any
lens whose correction data is registered in the camera.
With EOS Utility (provided software), 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, refer to the
Software Instruction Manual (CD-ROM) for EOS Utility (p.352).

Notes for Peripheral Illumination Correction and Chromatic Aberration
Correction
Corrections cannot be applied afterwards to JPEG images captured
when [Disable] was set.
When using a non-Canon lens, setting the corrections to [Disable] is
recommended, even if [Correction data available] is displayed.
If you use the magnified view during Live View shooting, the peripheral
illumination correction and chromatic aberration correction will not be
reflected in the image shown on the screen.
If the effect of the correction is not visible, magnify the image and check
it.
The corrections are also applied when an Extender 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].
If the lens does not have distance information, the correction amount will
be lower.

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.

Set the white balance bracketing amount.

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 maximum burst for continuous shooting will
be lower and the number of possible shots will also decrease to approx.
one-third the normal number.
You can also set white balance correction and AEB 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, it takes longer to record
the shot to the card.
“BKT” stands for bracketing.

3 Setting the Color Reproduction RangeN
The range of reproducible colors is called the color space. With this
camera, the color space for captured images can be set to sRGB or
Adobe RGB. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended.
In Basic Zone modes, sRGB is set automatically.

Select [Color space].
Under the [z2] tab, select [Color
space], then press <0>.

the desired color space.
2 SetSelect
[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 or higher). 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 or higher). Postprocessing of the image with software will therefore be required.

If the captured still photo was shot in the Adobe RGB color space, the
first character in the file name will be an underscore “_”.
The ICC profile is not appended. Refer to explanations about the ICC
profile in the Software Instruction Manual (p.352) on the CD-ROM.

Mirror Lockup to Reduce Camera ShakeN
The camera’s mechanical shake caused by the reflex mirror action can
blur images taken with a super telephoto lens or close-up (macro) lens.
In such cases, mirror lockup is effective.
Mirror lockup is enabled by setting [5: Mirror lockup] to [1: Enable]
in the [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)] (p.296).

Focus the subject, then press the shutter button
completely.
X The mirror will swing up.

2 Press the shutter button completely again.

X The picture is taken and the mirror goes back down.
After taking the picture, set [5: Mirror lockup] to [0: Disable].

Using the self-timer , with mirror lockup
When you press the shutter button completely, the mirror locks up,
then the picture is taken 10 sec. or 2 sec. later.

Remote control shooting
Since you do not touch the camera when the picture is taken, remote
control shooting together with mirror lockup can further prevent
camera shake (p.303). With Remote Controller RC-6 (sold
separately) set to a 2-sec. delay, press the transmit button and the
mirror will lockup before the picture is taken 2 sec. later.

Mirror Lockup to Reduce Camera ShakeN

In very bright light such as at the beach or a ski slope on a sunny day,
take the picture promptly after mirror lockup.
Do not point the camera toward the sun. The sun’s heat can damage the
camera’s internal components.
If you use the self-timer and bulb exposure in combination with a mirror
lockup, keep pressing the shutter button completely (self-timer delay
time + bulb exposure time). If you let go of the shutter button during the
self-timer countdown, there will be a shutter-release sound, but no
picture will be taken.
Even if or is set for drive mode, single shooting will take
effect.
When [z3: High ISO speed NR] is set to [Multi Shot Noise
Reduction], four continuous shots will be taken for the single picture
regardless of the [5: Mirror lockup] setting.
If 30 seconds elapse after the mirror has locked up, it will go back down
automatically. Pressing the shutter button completely again locks up the
mirror again.

Shooting with the LCD Monitor
(Live View Shooting)

You can shoot while viewing the image on the camera’s
LCD monitor. This is called “Live View shooting”.
If you handhold the camera and shoot while viewing the
LCD monitor, camera shake can cause blurred images.
Using a tripod is recommended.

About Remote Live View Shooting
With EOS Utility (provided software, p.350) installed in your
computer, you can connect the camera to the computer and shoot
remotely while viewing the computer screen. For details, refer to
the Software Instruction Manual (p.352) on the CD-ROM.

In the and shooting modes, the picture area will be smaller
than with other shooting modes.
During Live View shooting, do not point the lens toward the sun. The
sun’s heat can damage the camera’s internal components.
Cautions for using Live View shooting are on pages 165-166.
When flash is used, there will be two shutter sounds, but only one shot
will be taken. Also, the time it takes to take the picture after you press the
shutter button completely will be slightly longer than with viewfinder
shooting.
If the camera is not operated for a prolonged period, the power will turn
off automatically as set with [52: Auto power off] (p.201). If [52: Auto
power off] is set to [Disable], Live View shooting will end automatically
after approx. 30 min. (camera power remains on).
With the stereo AV cable AVC-DC400ST (sold separately) or HDMI cable
HTC-100 (sold separately), you can display the Live View image on a TV
(p.258, 261).

effect during viewfinder shooting.

Live View shooting
You can set Live View shooting to [Enable] or [Disable].
AF method
You can select [u+Tracking] (p.153), [FlexiZone - Multi] (p.155),
[FlexiZone - Single] (p.156), or [Quick mode] (p.160).
Continuous AF
The default setting is [Enable].
Since the focus is constantly close to the subject, when you press
the shutter button, the camera quickly focuses the subject. If
[Enable] is set, the lens will operate frequently and consume more
battery power. This will reduce the number of possible shots (battery
life). Also, if the AF method is set to [Quick mode], Continuous AF
will be automatically set to [Disable]. If you select another AF
method, Continuous AF will revert to the original setting.
During Continuous AF, turn off the power before you set the lens’s
focus mode switch to .

Touch Shutter
Just by tapping the LCD monitor screen, you can focus and take the
picture automatically. For details, see page 162.

Aspect ratioN
The image’s aspect ratio can be set to [3:2], [4:3], [16:9], or [1:1].
The area surrounding the Live View image is masked in black when
the following aspect ratios are set: [4:3] [16:9] [1:1].
JPEG images will be saved with the set aspect ratio. RAW images
will always be saved with the [3:2] aspect ratio. Since the aspect
ratio information is appended to the RAW image, the image will be
generated in the respective aspect ratio when you process the RAW
image with the provided software. In the case of the [4:3], [16:9], and
[1:1] aspect ratios, the aspect-ratio lines will appear during image

Notes About [u+Tracking], [FlexiZone - Multi], and
[FlexiZone - Single]
AF Operation
Focusing will take longer than with [Quick mode].
Even when focus has been achieved, pressing the shutter button
halfway will focus again.
The image brightness may change during and after the AF operation.
If the light source changes while the Live View image is displayed,
the screen may flicker and focusing may be difficult. If this happens,
exit Live View shooting and autofocus under the actual light source.
When [FlexiZone - Multi] is set and you press the button (or
tap < > on the screen), the center of the selected zone (or image
center with automatic selection) will be magnified. If you press the
shutter button halfway, the display will return to normal and the
camera will focus.
When [FlexiZone - Single] is set and you press the button (or
tap < > on the screen), the area covered by the AF point will be
magnified. Press the shutter button halfway to focus while in the
magnified view. This is effective when the camera is attached to a
tripod and you need to attain very precise focus. If focusing is difficult
in the magnified view, return to the normal display and use AF. Note
that the AF speed may differ between the normal and magnified views.
If you magnify the view after focusing with [FlexiZone - Multi] or
[FlexiZone - Single] in the normal view, it may not look focused.
If [u+Tracking] is set, magnified view is not possible.

If you shoot a peripheral subject and it is slightly out of focus, aim the
center AF point or zone over the subject to focus, focus again and then
take the picture.
The AF-assist beam will not be emitted. However, if an EX-series
Speedlite (sold separately) equipped with an LED light is used, the LED
light will turn on for AF-assist when necessary.
In magnified view, the higher the magnification, the more difficult
focusing will be because of camera shake when shooting hand-held (as
well as when the lens focus mode switch is set to ). Using a tripod
is recommended.

Changing the Autofocus Method (AF Method)

Shooting conditions that make focusing difficult
Low-contrast subjects such as the blue sky, solid-color flat surfaces
or when highlights or shadow details are lost.
Subjects in low light.
Stripes and other patterns where there is contrast only in the
horizontal direction.
Subjects with repetitive patterns (skyscraper windows, computer
keyboards, etc.).
Fine lines and subject outlines.
Under a light source whose brightness, color, or pattern keeps
changing.
Night scenes or points of light.
When the image flickers under fluorescent or LED light sources.
Extremely small subjects.
Subjects at the edge of the picture.
Subjects strongly reflecting light.
The AF point covers both a near and faraway subject (such as an
animal in a cage).

Live View Shooting Cautions
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.
If Live View shooting is used continuously for a long period, the camera’s
internal temperature may rise, and image quality may deteriorate. Stop
Live View shooting when not shooting images.
If you shoot a long exposure while the camera’s internal temperature is
high, image quality may deteriorate. Stop Live View shooting and wait a
few minutes before shooting again.
White and Red Internal Temperature Warning

If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged Live
View shooting or under a high ambient temperature, a white icon
will appear. If you continue shooting while this icon is displayed, the
image quality of still photos may deteriorate. It is recommended to
temporarily exit Live View shooting and allow the camera to cool down
before shooting again.
If the camera’s internal temperature further increases while the white
icon is displayed, a red icon will start blinking. This blinking
icon indicates that the Live View shooting will soon stop 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.
Using Live View shooting at a high temperature for a prolonged period
will cause the and icons to appear earlier. When you are not
shooting, turn off the camera.
If the camera’s internal temperature is high, the image quality of high ISO
speed images or long exposures may be degraded even before the white
icon is displayed.

Live View Shooting Cautions
Shooting Result
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. In
magnified view, the shutter speed and aperture will be displayed in
orange. Even if you take the picture in magnified view, the image will be
captured in the normal view.
If [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.123) is not set to [Disable], the
image may look bright even if a decreased exposure compensation or
decreased flash exposure compensation is set.
If you use a TS-E lens (other than the TS-E17mm f/4L or TS-E24mm
f/3.5L II) and shift or tilt the lens or use an Extension Tube, the standard
exposure may not be obtained or an irregular exposure may result.
Live View Image
Under low- or bright-light conditions, the Live View image may not reflect
the brightness of the captured image.
If the light source within the image changes, the screen may flicker. If this
happens, exit Live View shooting and resume shooting under the actual
light source.
If you point the camera to a different direction, it may 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, 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 [52: 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 in the actual image.

Custom Functions
During Live View shooting, certain Custom Function settings will not take
effect (p.293).
Lens and Flash
The focus preset feature on certain telephoto lenses may not 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.

and shoot the movie.
5 Focus
The procedure is the same as steps 3
and 4 for “Autoexposure Shooting”
(p.170).
ISO speed during manual-exposure shooting
With [Auto], the ISO speed will be set automatically within ISO 100 6400.
You can set the ISO speed manually within ISO 100 - 6400 in wholestop increments. Under [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [2: ISO
expansion] is set to [1: On], the manual setting range will expand so
you can also select H (equivalent to ISO 12800).
Under [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [3: Highlight tone
priority] is set to [1: Enable], the ISO speed will be ISO 200 - 6400.

Since shooting a movie at ISO 12800 may result in much noise, it is
designated as an expanded ISO speed (displayed as “H”).
Under [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [2: ISO expansion] is set to
[1: On] and you switch from still photo shooting to movie shooting, the
manual setting range’s maximum will be H (equivalent to ISO 12800).
Even if you switch back to still photo shooting, the ISO speed will not
revert to the original setting.
Exposure compensation cannot be set.
Changing the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting is not
recommended since the changes in the exposure will be recorded.
If you change the shutter speed while shooting under fluorescent or LED
lighting, image flicker may be recorded.

When ISO Auto is set, you can press the button to lock the ISO
speed.
After recomposing the picture, you can see the exposure level difference
on the exposure level indicator (p.175) compared to when you pressed
the button.
By pressing the button, you can display the histogram.
When shooting a movie of a moving subject, a shutter speed of 1/30 sec.
to 1/125 sec. is recommended. The faster the shutter speed, the less
smooth the subject’s movement will look.

Notes on Movie Shooting
During movie shooting, do not point the lens toward the sun. The sun’s
heat can damage the camera’s internal components.
If is set and the ISO speed or aperture changes during movie
shooting, the white balance may also change.
If you shoot a movie under fluorescent or LED lighting, the movie may
flicker.
Zooming the lens during movie shooting is not recommended. Zooming
the lens can cause changes in the exposure regardless of whether the
lens’ maximum aperture changes or not. Exposure changes may be
recorded as a result (except EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM).
You cannot magnify the image during movie shooting.
Cautions for movie shooting are on pages 195 and 196.
If necessary, also read the Live View shooting cautions on pages
165 and 166.

Movie-related settings are under the [Z1] and [Z2] tabs (p.191).
A movie file is recorded each time you shoot a movie. If the file size
exceeds 4 GB, a new file will be automatically created.
The movie image’s field of view is approx. 100% (with movie recording
size set to [A]).
The sound will be recorded in stereo by the camera’s built-in microphone
(p.170).
Most commercially-available external stereo microphones with a 3.5 mm
diameter miniplug can be connected to the camera. If an external
microphone has been connected to the camera’s external microphone IN
terminal (p.20), it will be given priority over the built-in microphone.
You can use Remote Controller RC-6 (sold separately, p.303) to start
and stop the movie shooting if the drive mode is . Set the shooting
timing switch to <2> (2-sec. delay), then press the transmit button. If the
switch is set to (immediate shooting), still photo shooting will take

Cautions for Shooting Video Snapshots
You can add to an album only video snapshots with the same duration
(approx. 2 sec., 4 sec., or 8 sec. each).
Note that if you do any of the following while shooting video snapshots, a
new album will be created for subsequent video snapshots.
• Changing the [Movie rec. size] (p.181).
• Changing the [Sound rec.] setting from [Auto/Manual] to [Disable] or
from [Disable] to [Auto/Manual] (p.193).
• Updating the firmware.
You cannot take still photos while shooting a video snapshot.
The shooting duration of a video snapshot is only approximate.

3 Movie Menu Function Settings
When you set the power switch to , the [Z1/Z2] tab will show
functions dedicated to movie shooting. The menu options are as
follows.

AF method
The AF methods are the same as described on pages 153-159. You
can select [u+Tracking], [FlexiZone - Multi], or [FlexiZone Single].

Movie Servo AF
The default setting is [Enable]. You can focus by pressing the
shutter button halfway regardless of the setting.
• When [Enable] is set:
• You can shoot a movie while focusing a moving subject
continuously. Note that the camera may record the lens operation
noise. To reduce the recording of the lens operation noise, use a
commercially-available external microphone. Using the EF-S18135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens will minimize the focusing noise
during movie shooting.
• During Movie Servo AF, turn off the power before you set the
lens’s focus mode switch to .

3 Movie Menu Function Settings

• If you want to hold the focus at a certain point or avoid recording
the lens operation noise before or during movie shooting, you
can temporally stop Movie Servo AF by performing one of the
operations below. When you stop Movie Servo AF, the AF point
will turn gray. When you perform the same operation again,
Movie Servo AF will resume.
• Press the button.
• Tap the [ ] icon on the lower left of the screen.
• If [6: Shutter/AE lock button] is set to [2: AF/AF lock, no AE
lock] in the [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], Movie Servo AF
will stop while you hold down the button. When you let go
of the button, Movie Servo AF will resume.
• When you press the or button, change the AF
method, or operate the lens focus mode switch, Movie Servo AF
is stopped. It will resume when you return to movie shooting.
• For cautions when [Movie servo AF] is set to [Enable], see
page 197.
• When [Disable] is set:
• You can focus only when the shutter button is pressed halfway.

AF with shutter button during k (movie recording)
When you press the shutter button while shooting a movie, you can
shoot a still photo. The default setting is [ONE SHOT].
• When [ONE SHOT] is set:
• You can refocus and shoot a still photo by pressing the shutter
button halfway while shooting a movie.
• When shooting a static subject (not moving), you can perform
shooting in precise focus.
• When [Disable] is set:
• You can immediately start shooting a still photo by pressing the
shutter button, even though focus is not achieved. It is effective
when you want give priority to the shutter chance rather than to
focus.

3 Movie Menu Function Settings

Grid display
With [Grid 1l] or [Grid 2m], you can display grid lines to help
you level the camera vertically or horizontally.
Metering timerN
You can change how long the exposure setting is displayed (AE lock time).
Movie recording size
You can set the movie recording size (image size and frame rate).
For details, see pages 181-182.
Sound recordingN

Normally, the built-in microphone will
record stereo sound. If a commerciallyavailable microphone equipped with a
mini plug (3.5 mm diameter) is
connected to the camera’s external
microphone IN terminal (p.20), it will be
given priority.

[Sound rec./Rec. level] options
[Auto]
: The sound-recording level is adjusted automatically.
Auto level control will operate automatically in
response to the sound level.
[Manual] : For advanced users. You can adjust the sound
recording level to one of 64 levels. Select [Rec. level]
and look at the level meter while pressing the
key to adjust the sound recording level. While looking
at the peak hold indicator (approx. 3 sec.), adjust so
that the level meter sometimes lights up the “12” (-12
dB) mark on the right for the loudest sounds. If it
exceeds “0”, the sound will be distorted.
[Disable] : Sound will not be recorded.

3 Movie Menu Function Settings

[Wind filter]
When set to [Enable], it reduces wind noise when there is wind
outdoors. This feature takes effect only with the built-in
microphone.
Note that [Enable] will also reduce low bass sounds, so set this
function to [Disable] when there is no wind. It will record a more
natural sound than with [Enable].
[Attenuator]
Even if you set [Sound recording] to [Auto] or [Manual] and
shoot, sound distortion may still result if there is a very loud sound.
In such a case, setting it to [Enable] is recommended.
In Basic Zone modes, the settings available for [Sound recording] will
be [On/Off]. If [On] is set, the sound-recording level will be adjusted
automatically (same as with [Auto]). However, the wind filter function will
not take effect.
The sound volume balance between L (left) and R (right) cannot be
adjusted.
Both L and R record audio at a 48 kHz/16-bit sampling rate.

Video snapshot
You can shoot video snapshots. For details, see page 183.

Movie Shooting Cautions
White and Red Internal Temperature Warning Icons
If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged movie
shooting or under a high ambient temperature, a white icon will
appear. Even if you shoot a movie while this icon is displayed, the
movie’s image quality will hardly be affected. However, if you shoot still
photos, the image quality of the still photos may deteriorate. It is
recommended to stop still photo shooting for a while and allow the
camera to cool down.
If the camera’s internal temperature further increases while the white
icon is displayed, a red icon will start blinking. This blinking
icon indicates that movie shooting will soon stop 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 a movie at a high temperature for a prolonged period will cause
the and icons to appear earlier. When you are not shooting,
turn off the camera.

Recording
If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer and you set the Image
Stabilizer (IS) switch to <1>, 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 shorten the total movie
shooting time or decrease the number of possible shots. If you use a
tripod or if the Image Stabilizer is not necessary, it is recommended to set
the IS switch to <2>.
The camera’s built-in microphone will also pick up camera operation
noise. Using a commercially-available external microphone can prevent
(or reduce) these noises from being recorded.
Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the
camera’s external microphone IN terminal.
If the brightness changes during autoexposure movie shooting, that part
may look momentarily still when you play back the movie. In such cases,
shoot movies with manual exposure.

Movie Shooting Cautions
Recording
If you use a card with a slow writing speed, a five-level
indicator may appear on the right of the screen during movie
shooting. It indicates how much data has not yet been
written to the card (remaining capacity of the internal buffer
memory). The slower the card, the faster the indicator will
climb upward. If the indicator becomes full, movie shooting
will stop automatically. If the card has a fast writing speed,
Indicator
the indicator will either not appear or the level (if displayed)
will hardly go upward. First, shoot a few test movies to see if
the card can write fast enough.
If there is a very bright light source in the picture, the bright area may
appear black on the LCD monitor. In movies, the bright areas will be
recorded in almost the same way you see it on the LCD monitor.

Still Photo Shooting During Movie Shooting
Regarding the image quality of still photos, see “Image Quality” on page
165.

TV Connection
If you connect the camera to a TV set (p.258, 261) and shoot a movie,
the TV will not output any sound during the shooting. However, the
sound will be properly recorded.

Cautions when [Movie servo AF] is set to [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 in front of the camera.
Also refer to “Shooting conditions that make focusing difficult” on page
159.
• Since using Movie Servo AF will consume battery power, the number of
possible shots and the possible movie shooting time will be reduced.
• During zooming or image magnification, Movie Servo AF operation will be
stopped momentarily.
• During movie shooting, if a subject approaches / moves away, or if
the camera is moved vertically or horizontally (panning) the recorded
movie image may momentarily expand or contract (change in image
magnification).

3 Creating and Selecting a Folder
You can freely create and select the folder where the captured images
are to be saved.
This operation is optional since a folder will be created automatically for
saving captured images.
Creating a Folder

Select [Select folder].
Under the [51] tab, select [Select
folder], then press <0>.

[Create folder].
2 Select
Select [Create folder], then press
<0>.

a new folder.
3 Create
Select [OK], then press <0>.
X A new folder with the folder number
increased by one is created.

Selecting a Folder
With the folder selection screen
displayed, select a folder and press
<0>.
X The folder where the captured
images will be saved is selected.
Subsequent captured images will be
recorded into the selected folder.

Lowest file number
Number of images
in folder

Folder name
Highest file number

As with “100CANON” for example, the folder name starts with three digits
(folder number) followed by five alphanumeric characters. 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 (p.205) is executed, a new folder will be created
automatically. Folders numbered from 100 to 999 can be created.

Creating Folders with a Personal Computer
With the card open on the screen, create a new folder named “DCIM”. Open
the DCIM folder and create as many folders as necessary to save and
organize your images. The folder name must follow the format “100ABC_D”.
The first three digits are the folder number, from 100 to 999. The next 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 other five characters in
each name are different.

3 File Numbering Methods
The image files will be numbered from 0001 to 9999 in the order the
images are taken, then saved in a folder. You can change how the file
number is assigned.
The file number will appear on your computer in this format:
IMG_0001.JPG.
Under the [51] tab, select [File
numbering], then press <0>. The
available settings are described below.
Select the option, then press <0>.

[Continuous]: The file numbering continues in sequence even
after you replace the card or create a folder.
Even after you replace the card or create a new folder, the file
numbering continues in sequence up to 9999. This is convenient
when you want to save images numbered anywhere between 0001
to 9999 in multiple cards or folders into one folder in your personal
computer.
If the replacement card or existing folder already contains images
recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images may
continue from the file numbering of the existing images in the card or
folder. If you want to use continuous file numbering, it is
recommended that you use a newly-formatted card each time.

replacing the card

Next sequential file number

File numbering after
creating a folder

[Auto reset]: The file numbering restarts from 0001 each time
the card is replaced or a new folder is created.
When you replace the card or create a folder, the file numbering
restarts from 0001 for the new images saved. This is convenient if
you want to organize images according to cards or folders.
However, if the replacement card or existing folder already contains
images recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images
may continue from the file numbering of the existing images in the
card or folder. If you want to save images with the file numbering
starting from 0001, use a newly formatted card each time.

creating a folder

File numbering is reset

[Manual reset]: To reset the file numbering to 0001 manually or
to start from file number 0001 in a new folder.
When you reset the file numbering manually, a new folder is created
automatically and the file numbering of images saved to that folder
starts from 0001.
This is convenient if you want to use different folders for the images
taken yesterday and the ones taken today, for example. After the
manual reset, the file numbering returns to continuous or auto reset.
(There will be no Manual reset confirmation screen.)
If the file number in folder 999 reaches 9999, shooting will not be possible
even if the card still has storage capacity. The LCD monitor will display a
message telling you to replace the card. Replace it with a new card.
For both JPEG and RAW images, the file name will start with “IMG_”. Movie
file names will start with “MVI_”. The extension will be “.JPG” for JPEG
images, “.CR2” for RAW images, and “. MOV” for movies.

beam.

C
[E-TTL II meter.]

For normal flash exposures, set this
to [Evaluative].
[Average] is for advanced users. As
with an external Speedlite, the
metering area is averaged. Flash
exposure compensation may be
necessary.

Even if [Flash firing] is set to [Disable], if focus is difficult to achieve in low
light, the built-in flash may still fire a series of flashes (AF-assist beam,
p.98).

3 Setting the FlashN

[Flash sync. speed in Av mode]
You can set the flash-sync speed for
flash photography in the aperture-priority
AE (f) mode.

: Auto
The flash sync speed is set automatically within a range of 1/200
sec. to 30 sec. to suit the scene’s brightness. High-speed sync is
also possible.
: 1/200-1/60 sec. auto

3 Setting the FlashN

Shutter synchronization
Normally, set this to [1st curtain] so that the flash fires immediately
after the exposure starts.
If [2nd curtain] is set, the flash will fire right before the shutter
closes. When this is combined with a slow shutter speed, you can
create a trail of light such as from car headlights at night. With E-TTL
II (auto flash exposure), two flashes will be fired: Once when you
press the shutter button completely, and once immediately before
the exposure ends. Also, with shutter speeds faster than 1/30 sec.,
1st curtain synchronization will automatically take effect.
If an external Speedlite is attached, you can also select [Hi-speed]
(e). For details, refer to the Speedlite’s instruction manual.
Wireless functions
When performing optical transmission wireless flash shooting using
the master function of the built-in flash, see “Wireless Flash
Photography” on page 225. When performing wireless flash
shooting with radio or optical transmission using the master function
of the external Speedlite, refer to the Speedlite’s instruction manual.

Flash exposure compensation
See “Flash Exposure Compensation” on page 118.
Flash mode
You can select the flash mode to suit your desired flash shooting.
[E-TTL II] is the standard mode of
EX-series Speedlites for automatic
flash shooting.
[Manual flash] is for advanced users
who want to set the [Flash output]
(1/1 to 1/128) themselves.
Regarding other flash modes, refer to
your Speedlite’s instruction manual.

Immediately after the sensor cleaning is finished, the [Clean nowf]
option will remain disabled temporarily.

Disabling Automatic Sensor Cleaning
In step 2, select [Auto cleaningf] and set it to [Disable].
X The sensor cleaning will no longer be executed when you set the
power switch to <1> or <2>.

3 Appending Dust Delete DataN
Normally, the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit will eliminate most of the dust
that may be visible on captured images. However, in case visible dust
still remains, you can append the Dust Delete Data to the image for
erasing the dust spots later. The Dust Delete Data is used by Digital
Photo Professional (provided software, p.350) to erase the dust spots
automatically.

Preparation
Prepare a solid white object such as a sheet of paper.
Set the lens focal length to 50 mm or longer.
Set the lens focus mode switch to and set the focus to infinity
(∞). If the lens has no distance scale, look at the front of the lens and
turn the focusing ring clockwise all the way.

3 Photograph
At a distance of 20 cm - 30 cm (0.7 ft.

- 1.0 ft.), fill the viewfinder with a
patternless, solid-white object and
take a picture.
X The picture will be taken in aperturepriority AE mode at an aperture of f/22.
Since the image will not be saved, the
data can still be obtained even if there
is no card in the camera.
X 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. Select
[OK], and the menu will reappear.
If the data was not obtained
successfully, a message to that effect
will appear. Follow the “Preparation”
procedure on the preceding page, then
select [OK]. Take the picture again.

About the Dust Delete Data
After the Dust Delete Data is obtained, it is appended to all the JPEG
and RAW images captured thereafter. Before an important shoot, it is
recommended to update the Dust Delete Data by obtaining it again.
For details about using Digital Photo Professional (provided software,
p.350) to erase dust spots, refer to the Software Instruction Manual
(p.352) on the Software Instruction Manual CD-ROM.
The Dust Delete Data appended to the image is so small that it hardly
affects the image file size.
Be sure to use a solid-white object such as a new sheet of white paper. If the
paper has any pattern or design, it may be recognized as dust data and
affect the accuracy of the dust deletion with the software.

3 Manual Sensor CleaningN
Dust that could not be removed by the automatic sensor cleaning can
be removed manually with a blower, etc. Before cleaning the sensor,
detach the lens from the camera.
The surface of the image sensor is extremely delicate. If the

If you use a battery, make sure it is fully charged. If the battery grip with sizeAA/LR6 batteries is attached, manual sensor cleaning will not be possible.
For the power source, using AC Adapter Kit ACK-E8 (sold separately) is
recommended.

3 Manual Sensor CleaningN

While cleaning the sensor, never do any of the following. If the
power is cut off, the shutter will close and the shutter curtains and
image sensor may get damaged.
• Setting the power switch to <2>.
• Opening the battery compartment cover.
• Opening the card slot cover.
The surface of the image sensor is extremely delicate. Clean the sensor
with care.
Use a plain blower without any brush attached. A brush can scratch the
sensor.
Do not insert the blower tip inside the camera beyond the lens mount. If
the power is turned off, the shutter will close and the shutter curtains or
reflex mirror may get damaged.
Never use canned air or gas to clean the sensor. The blowing force can
damage the sensor or the spray gas can freeze on the sensor.
If the battery level becomes low while you clean the sensor, the beeper
will sound as a warning. Stop cleaning the sensor.
If a smudge that cannot be removed with a blower remains, having the
sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is recommended.

Wireless Flash
Photography

You can use the built-in flash
for wireless flash shooting.

The camera’s built-in flash can work as a master unit
with Canon Speedlites with a wireless slave feature and
wirelessly trigger the Speedlite(s) to fire.
Canceling the slave unit’s auto power off
To cancel the slave unit’s auto power off, press the
camera’s button. If you are using manual flash
firing, press the slave unit’s test firing (PILOT) button to
cancel the auto power off.

Be sure to also read the information about wireless flash

k Enjoying Movies
You can play back movies in the following three ways:

Playback on a TV set

Use the stereo AV cable AVC-DC400ST
(sold separately) or HDMI cable HTC100 (sold separately) to connect the
camera to a TV set. Then you can play
back captured movies and still photos on
the TV.
If you have a High-Definition TV set and
connect your camera with an HDMI
cable, you can watch Full High-Definition
(Full HD: 1920x1080) and HighDefinition (HD: 1280x720) movies with
higher image quality.

Since hard disk recorders do not have an HDMI IN terminal, the camera
cannot be connected to a hard disk recorder with an HDMI cable.
Even if the camera is connected to a hard disk recorder with a USB
cable, movies and still photos cannot be played or saved.
If the playback device is not compatible with MOV files, the movie cannot
be played.

Playback on the Camera’s LCD Monitor

You can play back movies on the
camera’s LCD monitor. You can also edit
out the movie’s first and last scenes, and
play back the still photos and movies on
the card in an automatic slide show.

A movie edited with a personal computer cannot be rewritten to the card and
played back with the camera. However, video snapshot albums edited with
EOS Video Snapshot Task (p.190) can be played on the camera.

k Enjoying Movies

Playback and Editing with a Personal Computer

The movie files recorded on the card can
be transferred to a personal computer
and played with ImageBrowser EX
(provided software).

To have the movie play back smoothly on a personal computer, use a
high-performance personal computer. Regarding the computer hardware
requirements for ImageBrowser EX, refer to the PDF file ImageBrowser
EX User Guide.
If you want to use commercially-available software to play back or edit
the movies, be sure it is compatible with MOV files. For details on

About the Highlight Alert
When the shooting information is displayed, any overexposed areas of the
image will blink. To obtain more image detail in the overexposed areas, set
the exposure compensation to a negative amount and shoot again.
About the Histogram
The brightness histogram shows the exposure level distribution and overall
brightness. The RGB histogram is for checking the color saturation and
gradation. The display can be switched with [x2: Histogram disp].
[Brightness] 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. 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. If there are too many
pixels on the right, the highlight detail 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

Normal brightness

[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).
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. 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. If there are too many pixels on the right,
the color will be too saturated with no gradation. By checking the
image’s RGB histogram, you can see the color’s saturation and
gradation condition, as well as white balance inclination.

Post-Processing
Images

After shooting, you can apply Creative filters or resize
the images (downsize the pixel count).

The camera may not be able to process images taken with

When shooting 1+73 or 1 images, the Creative filter will be applied to
the 1 image and the image will be saved as a JPEG image. If an aspect
ratio is set for Live View shooting and a Creative filter is applied to the 1
image, the image will be saved in the aspect ratio that was set.

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.

U Creative Filters

Fish-eye effect
Gives the effect of a fish-eye lens. The image will have a barrel-type
distortion.
Depending on the level of this filter effect, the area trimmed along
the periphery of the image changes. Also, since this filter effect will
magnify the image center, the apparent resolution at the center may
degrade depending on the number of recorded pixels. Set the filter
effect in step 4 while checking the resulting image.
Art bold effect
Makes the photo look like an oil painting and the subject look threedimensional. You can adjust the contrast and saturation. Note that
the sky, white walls, and similar subjects 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. You
can adjust 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
Gives a color cast typical of toy cameras and darkens the image’s
four corners. By adjusting the color tone, you can change the color
cast.
Miniature effect
Creates a diorama effect. You can change where the image looks
sharp. In step 4, you can press the button to change the
orientation (vertical/horizontal) of the white frame that shows where
you want the image to look sharp.

AF-assist beam firing

The settings to specify whether or not the AF-assist beam is emitted by the
camera’s built-in flash or by an external, EOS-dedicated Speedlite can be
set.
0: Enable
If necessary, the AF-assist beam will be emitted by the built-in flash or
external Speedlite.
1: Disable
The AF-assist beam is not emitted.
2: Enable external flash only
If an external Speedlite is attached, it will emit the AF-assist beam when
necessary. The camera’s built-in flash will not fire the AF-assist beam.
3: IR AF assist beam only
Among external Speedlites, only those which have an infrared AF-assist
beam will be able to emit the beam. This prevents any Speedlite which
uses a series of intermittent flashes (like the built-in flash) from firing the
AF-assist beam.
With an EX-series Speedlite equipped with an LED light, the LED light
will not automatically turn on for AF-assist.

If the external Speedlite’s [AF-assist beam firing] Custom Function is set
to [Disabled], the Speedlite will not emit the AF-assist beam even if the
camera’s C.Fn-4 is set to 0, 2, or 3.

0: Disable

External Speedlites
EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlites
Basically operates like a built-in flash for easy operation.
When an EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) is attached to the
camera, almost all the autoflash control is done by the camera. In other
words, it is like a high-output flash attached externally in place of the
built-in flash.
For detailed instructions, refer to the EX-series Speedlite’s
instruction manual. This camera is a Type-A camera that can use all
the features of EX-series Speedlites.

Shoe-mount Speedlites

With an EX-series Speedlite not compatible with flash function settings
(p.216), only [Flash exposure compensation] can be set for [External
flash func. setting]. (With certain EX-series Speedlites, [Shutter
synchronization] is also settable.)
If flash exposure compensation is set with the external Speedlite, the
flash exposure compensation icon displayed on the camera’s LCD
monitor will change from y to 0.
If the Speedlite’s Custom Function has the flash metering mode set to
TTL autoflash, the flash will fire at full output only.

External Speedlites

Canon Speedlites Other Than the EX-series
With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set in TTL or A-TTL
autoflash mode, the flash can be fired at full output only.
Set the camera’s shooting mode to (manual exposure) or
(aperture-priority AE) and adjust the aperture setting before
shooting.
When using a Speedlite that has manual flash mode, shoot in the
manual flash mode.

Using Non-Canon Flash Units
Sync Speed
The camera can synchronize with compact, non-Canon flash units at
1/200 sec. or slower shutter speeds. Use a sync speed slower than
1/200 sec.
Be sure to test the flash unit beforehand to make sure it synchronizes
properly with the camera.

Cautions for Live View shooting

A non-Canon flash will not fire during Live View shooting.

If the camera is used with a flash unit or flash accessory dedicated to
another camera brand, the camera may not operate properly and
malfunction may result.
Do not attach a high-voltage flash unit on the camera’s hot shoe. It may
not fire.

Using Eye-Fi Cards
With a commercially-available Eye-Fi card already set up, you can
automatically transfer captured images to a personal computer or
upload them to an online service via a wireless LAN.
The image transfer is a function of the Eye-Fi card. For instructions on
how to set up and use the Eye-Fi card or to troubleshoot any image
transfer problems, refer to the Eye-Fi card’s instruction manual or
contact the card’s manufacturer.

Troubleshooting Guide
If a problem occurs with the camera, first refer to this Troubleshooting
Guide. If this Troubleshooting Guide does not resolve the problem,
contact your dealer or nearest Canon Service Center.

Power-Related Problems
The battery pack does not recharge.
Do not recharge any battery pack other than a genuine Canon Battery
Pack LP-E8.

The battery charger’s lamp blinks.
If there is a problem with the battery charger, the protective circuit will
stop the charging operation and the charge lamp will blink in orange. If
this happens, disconnect the charger’s power plug from the power
outlet and remove the battery pack. Attach the battery pack to the
charger again and wait a while before connecting the charger to a
power outlet again.

The camera does not operate even when the power switch
is set to <1>.
Make sure the battery is properly installed in the camera (p.30).
Make sure the battery compartment cover is closed (p.30).
Make sure the card slot cover is closed (p.31).
Recharge the battery (p.28).
Press the button (p.50).

The access lamp still blinks even when the power switch is
set to <2>.
If the power is turned off while an image is being recorded to the card,
the access lamp will remain on/continue to blink for a few seconds.
When the image recording is completed, the power will turn off
automatically.

Troubleshooting Guide

The battery becomes exhausted quickly.
Use a fully-charged battery pack (p.28).
The rechargeable battery pack performance will degrade over
repeated use. Purchase a new one.
The number of possible shots will decrease with any of the following
operations:
• Pressing the shutter button halfway for a prolonged period.
• Often activating only the AF without taking a picture.
• Using the lens’ Image Stabilizer.
• Using the LCD monitor often.
• Continuing Live View shooting or movie shooting for a prolonged
period.

The camera turns off by itself.

Auto power off is in effect. If you do not want auto power off to take
effect, set [52: Auto power off] to [Disable] (p.201).
Even if [52: Auto power off] is set to [Disable], the LCD monitor will
still turn off after the camera is left idle for 30 min. (The camera’s
power does not turn off.) Press the button to turn on the LCD
monitor.

Shooting-Related Problems
No images can be shot or recorded.
Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.31).
Slide the card’s write-protect switch to the Write/Erase position (p.31).
If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images
to make room (p.31, 264).
If you try to focus in the One-Shot AF operation while the focus
confirmation light in the viewfinder blinks, a picture cannot be
taken. Press the shutter button halfway again to refocus automatically,
or focus manually (p.43, 100).

Troubleshooting Guide

The card cannot be used.
If a card error message is displayed, see page 32 or 331.

The image is out of focus.
Set the lens focus mode switch to (p.39).
To prevent camera shake, press the shutter button gently (p.42, 43).
If the lens has an Image Stabilizer, set the IS switch to <1>.
In low light, the shutter speed may become slow. Use a faster shutter
speed (p.108), set a higher ISO speed (p.90), use flash (p.104), or use
a tripod.

I cannot lock the focus and recompose the shot.

Set the AF operation to One-Shot AF. Focus lock is not possible in the
AI Servo AF and AI Focus AF operations (p.95).

The continuous shooting speed is slow.

Depending on the lens type, shutter speed, aperture, subject
conditions, brightness, etc., the continuous shooting speed may
become slower.

Troubleshooting Guide

The maximum burst during continuous shooting is lower.
With ISO 12800 or “H” (equivalent to ISO 25600), the maximum burst
for continuous shooting will greatly decrease (p.91).
Set [z3: High ISO speed NR] to [Standard/Low/Disable]. If it is set
to [High] or if [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] is set, the maximum burst
during continuous shooting will greatly decrease (p.124).
With [Chromatic aberration: Enable], the maximum burst for
continuous shooting will greatly decrease (p.128).
During WB bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will
decrease (p.138).
If you shoot something that has fine detail (such as a field of grass),
the file size will be larger and the actual maximum burst may be lower
than the number mentioned on page 87.

ISO 100 cannot be set.

Under [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [3: Highlight tone priority]
is set to [1: Enable], ISO 100 cannot be set. If [0: Disable] is set, ISO
100 can be set (p.295). This also applies to movie shooting (p.174).

ISO speed [H] (ISO 25600) cannot be set.
Under [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [3: Highlight tone priority]
is set to [1: Enable], the [H] ISO speed (25600) cannot be selected
even when [2: ISO expansion] is set to [1: On]. If [0: Disable] is set
for [3: Highlight tone priority], [H] can be set (p.294).

The Auto Lighting Optimizer cannot be set.
Under [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [3: Highlight tone priority]
is set to [1: Enable], the Auto Lighting Optimizer cannot be set. If [0:
Disable] is set, the Auto Lighting Optimizer can be set (p.295).

Troubleshooting Guide

Even though I set a decreased exposure compensation,
the image comes out bright.
Set [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer] to [Disable]. When [Standard/
Low/High] is set, even if you set a decreased exposure compensation
or flash exposure compensation, the image may come out bright
(p.123).

When I use the mode with flash, the shutter speed
becomes slow.
If you shoot at night when the background is dark, the shutter speed
becomes slow automatically (slow-sync shooting) so that both the
subject and background are properly exposed. To prevent a slow
shutter speed, under [z1: Flash control], set [Flash sync. speed in
Av mode] to [1/200-1/60 sec. auto] or [1/200 sec. (fixed)] (p.215).

The built-in flash is raised by itself.

In the A, 2, 4, and 6 modes, the built-in flash will be raised
automatically when flash is necessary.

The built-in flash does not fire.
If you shoot continuously with the built-in flash at short intervals, the
flash may stop operating to protect the flash unit.

The flash always fires at full output.
If you use a flash unit other than an EX-series Speedlite, the flash will
always be fired at full output (p.306).
Under [z1: Flash control] and [External flash C.Fn setting], if
[Flash metering mode] is set to [TTL], the flash will always fire at full
output (p.216).

Troubleshooting Guide

I cannot set flash exposure compensation with [External
flash func. setting].
If flash exposure compensation has been set on an external Speedlite,
[Flash exposure compensation] (p.217) cannot be set in the
[External flash func. setting] screen. Also, if you set flash exposure
compensation with the camera and then set flash exposure
compensation with the external Speedlite, the Speedlite’s flash
exposure compensation setting will be given priority. When the
Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation is canceled (set to 0), flash
exposure compensation can be set with the camera.

High-speed sync cannot be set in the mode.

Under [z1: Flash control], set [Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to
[Auto] (p.215).

The camera makes a noise when it is shaken.

The built-in flash’s pop-up mechanism moves slightly. This is normal.

The shutter makes two shooting sounds during Live View
shooting.
If you use flash, the shutter will make two sounds each time you shoot
(p.145).

During Live View and movie shooting, a white or
red icon is displayed.
It indicates that the camera’s internal temperature is high. If the white
icon is displayed, the still photo’s image quality may deteriorate.
If the red icon is displayed, it indicates that the Live View or
movie shooting will soon stop automatically (p.165, 195).

Troubleshooting Guide

Movie shooting stops by itself.
If the card’s writing speed is slow, movie shooting may stop
automatically. Use an SD Speed Class 6 “
” or faster card. To
find out the card’s read/write speed, see the card manufacturer’s Web
site, etc.
If the movie shooting time reaches 29 min. 59 sec., the movie shooting
will stop automatically.

The ISO speed cannot be set for movie shooting.
In shooting modes other than , the ISO speed is set
automatically. In the mode, you can freely set the ISO speed
(p.174).

The exposure changes during movie shooting.
If you change the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting, the
changes in the exposure may be recorded.
Zooming the lens during movie shooting can cause changes in the
exposure regardless of whether the lens’ maximum aperture changes
or not. Changes in the exposure may be recorded as a result (except
EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM).

The subject looks distorted during movie shooting.
If you move the camera to the left or right quickly (high-speed panning)
or shoot a moving subject, the image may look distorted.

The image flickers or horizontal stripes appear during movie
shooting.
Flickering, horizontal stripes (noise), or irregular exposures can be
caused by fluorescent light, LED bulbs, or other light sources during
movie shooting. Also, changes in the exposure (brightness) or color
tone may also be recorded. In the mode, a slow shutter speed
may solve the problem.

Troubleshooting Guide

Operation Problems
During touch screen operations, the beeper suddenly sounds softer.
Check if your finger is covering the speaker (p.21).

Touch screen operation is not possible.
Check if [Enable] is set with [53: Touch control] (p.55).

Display Problems
The menu screen shows few tabs and options.
In Basic Zone modes and in movie shooting mode, certain tabs and
menu options are not displayed. Set the shooting mode to a Creative
Zone mode (p.46).

The file name’s first character is an underscore (“_”).

Set the color space to sRGB. If Adobe RGB is set, the first character
will be an underscore (p.139).

The file name starts with “MVI_”.
It is a movie file (p.205).

The file numbering does not start from 0001.
If the card already contains recorded images, the image number may
not start from 0001 (p.204).

Troubleshooting Guide

The shooting date and time displayed is incorrect.
Make sure the correct date and time has been set (p.36).
Check the time zone and daylight savings time (p.36).

The date and time is not in the picture.
The shooting date and time does not appear in the picture. The date
and time is instead recorded in the image data as shooting
information. When printing, you can imprint the date and time in the
picture by using the date and time recorded in the shooting information
(p.281).

[###] is displayed.

If the card has recorded a number of images greater than the camera
can display, [###] will be displayed (p.245).

The LCD monitor does not display a clear image.

If the LCD monitor is dirty, use a soft cloth to clean it.
In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow
or may look black. It will return to normal at room temperature.

[Eye-Fi settings] does not appear.
[Eye-Fi settings] will appear only when an Eye-Fi card is inserted in
the camera. If the Eye-Fi card has a write-protect switch set to the
LOCK position, you will not be able to check the card’s connection
status or disable Eye-Fi card transmission (p.307).

Troubleshooting Guide

Playback Problems
Part of the image blinks in black.
It is the highlight alert (p.268). Overexposed highlight areas with a loss
of highlight detail will blink.

The image cannot be erased.
If the image is protected, it cannot be erased (p.262).

The movie cannot be played back.
Movies edited with a personal computer using the provided
ImageBrowser EX (p.350) or other software cannot be played back
with the camera. However, video snapshot albums edited with EOS
Video Snapshot Task (p.190) can be played back on the camera.

When the movie is played back, camera operation noise
can be heard.

If you operate the camera’s dials or lens during movie shooting, the
operation noise will also be recorded. Using an external microphone
(commercially available) is recommended (p.193).

The movie has still moments.
During autoexposure movie shooting, if there is a drastic change in the
exposure level, the recording will stop momentarily until the brightness
stabilizes. If this happens, shoot with shooting mode (p.173).

No image appears on the TV screen.
Make sure the stereo AV cable or HDMI cable’s plug is inserted all the
way in (p.258, 261).
Set the video OUT system (NTSC/PAL) to the same video system as
the TV set (p.261).

Troubleshooting Guide

There are multiple movie files for a single movie shoot.
If the movie file size reaches 4 GB, another movie file will be created
automatically (p.182).

My card reader does not recognize the card.
Depending on the card reader and computer OS used, SDXC cards
might not be correctly recognized. If this occurs, connect your camera
to the computer with the provided interface cable, then transfer the
images to your computer using EOS Utility (provided software, p.350).

I cannot resize the image.
JPEG c and RAW images cannot be resized (p.273).

Sensor Cleaning Problems

The shutter makes a noise during sensor cleaning.

If you selected [Clean nowf], the shutter will make a noise, but no
picture is taken (p.219).

Automatic sensor cleaning does not work.
If you repeatedly turn the power switch <1>/<2> at a short
interval, the icon may not be displayed (p.34).

Printing-Related Problems
There are fewer printing effects than listed in the instruction
manual.
What is displayed on the screen differs depending on the printer. This
instruction manual lists all the printing effects available (p.280).

Handling precautions: EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM
The EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM utilizes a stepping motor that drives
the focus lens. The motor also controls the focus lens during zooming.
1. When the camera is OFF
The motor does not operate while the camera is OFF or when the
camera is OFF due to the use of the auto power off function.
Therefore, users must be aware of the following points.
Manual focus adjustments are not possible.
During zooming, delayed focus will occur.
2. When the lens is in sleep mode
If not operated for a certain period of time, this lens will enter sleep
mode in order to save power. Sleep mode differs from when the
camera is OFF due to the use of the auto power off function. To exit
sleep mode, press the shutter button halfway. In this state, the motor
will not operate even if the camera is ON. Therefore, users must be
aware of the following points.
Manual focus adjustments are not possible.
During zooming, delayed focus will occur.
3. During initial reset
When the camera is ON or when the camera is turned ON by
pressing the shutter button halfway down when the camera is OFF
due to the use of the auto power off function*1, the lens performs an
initial reset of the focus lens.
Although the image in the viewfinder will appear out of focus
during the initial reset, this does not mean that the lens has
malfunctioned.
Although the shutter can be released during the initial reset, users
must wait approximately 1 second*2 after the initial reset has
completed before shooting.

such repairs on a chargeable basis.

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.

• 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

• 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.
