The following precautions are provided to prevent harm or injury to
yourself and others. Make sure to thoroughly understand and follow
these precautions before using the product.
If you experience any malfunctions, problems, or damage to the
product, contact the nearest Canon Service Center or the dealer
from whom you purchased the product.
Safety Precautions
Warnings: Follow the warnings below. Otherwise, death or
serious injuries may result.
To prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, explosions, and electrical shock,
follow the safeguards below:
• Do not use any batteries, power sources, or accessories not specified in the
Instruction Manual. Do not use any home-made or modified batteries, or the
product if it is damaged.
• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery. Do not apply heat or
solder to the battery. Do not expose the battery to fire or water. Do not subject the
battery to strong physical shock.
• Do not insert the battery’s plus and minus ends incorrectly.
• Do not recharge the battery in temperatures outside the allowable charging
(working) temperature range. Also, do not exceed the recharge time indicated in
the Instruction Manual.
• Do not insert any foreign metallic objects into the electrical contacts of the camera,
accessories, connecting cables, etc.
When disposing of a battery, insulate the electrical contacts with tape. Contact with
other metallic objects or batteries may cause a fire or an explosion.
If excessive heat, smoke, or fumes are emitted when recharging the battery,
immediately unplug the battery charger from the power outlet to stop recharging.
Otherwise, it may cause a fire, heat damage, or electrical shock.
If the battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or fumes, remove it
immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process. It may cause a fire, electrical
shock or burns if you keep using it.
Prevent any battery leakage from contacting your eyes, skin, and clothing. It can
cause blindness or skin problems. If the battery leakage comes in contact with your
eyes, skin, or clothing, flush the affected area with lots of clean water without rubbing
it. See a physician immediately.
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 hold the camera in the same position for long periods of time. Even if the
camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same body part may cause
skin redness or blistering due to low-temperature contact burns. Using a tripod is
recommended when using the camera in very hot places or for people with circulation
problems or poor skin sensation.
Do not fire the flash at anyone driving a car or other vehicle. It may cause an accident.
23
Safety Precautions
When the camera or accessories are not in use, make sure to remove the battery, and
disconnect the power plug and connecting cables from the equipment before storing.
This is to prevent electrical shock, excessive heat, fire, and corrosion.
Do not use the equipment where there is flammable gas. This is to prevent an
explosion or a fire.
If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts,
do not touch the exposed internal parts. There is a possibility of an 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 equipment out of the reach of children and infants, including when in use. Straps
or cords may accidentally cause choking, electrical shock, or injury. Choking or injury
may also occur if a child or infant accidentally swallows a camera part or accessory. If
a child or infant swallows a part or accessory, consult a physician immediately.
Do not use or store the equipment in dusty or humid places. Likewise, keep the battery
away from metallic items and store it with its protective cover attached to prevent short-
circuit. This is to prevent fire, excessive heat, electrical shock, and burns.
Before using the camera inside an airplane or hospital, check if it is allowed.
Electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the plane’s
instruments or the hospital’s medical equipment.
To prevent a fire and electrical shock, follow the safeguards below:
• Always insert the power plug all the way in.
• Do not handle a power plug with wet hands.
• When unplugging a power plug, grasp and pull the plug instead of the cord.
• Do not scratch, cut, or excessively bend the cord or put a heavy object on the
cord. Also do not twist or tie the cords.
• Do not connect too many power plugs to the same power outlet.
• Do not use a cord whose wire is broken or insulation is damaged.
Unplug the power plug periodically and clean off the dust around the power outlet
with a dry cloth. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power
outlet may become moist and short-circuit the outlet, causing a fire.
Do not connect the battery directly to an electrical outlet or a car’s cigarette lighter
outlet. The battery may leak, generate excessive heat or explode, causing fire,
burns, or injuries.
A thorough explanation of how to use the product by an adult is required when the
product is used by children. Supervise children while they are using the product.
Incorrect usage may result in electrical shock or injury.
Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera in the sun without the lens cap

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 and clean cloth. If the
camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a clean, 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 only a commercially-available blower to blow away dust when it adheres
to the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirror, focusing screen, etc. Do not use
cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean the camera body or lens. For
stubborn dirt, take the camera to the nearest Canon Service Center.
Do not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your fingers. This is to
prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause camera
malfunction.
If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room,
condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent
condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to
the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.
Handling Precautions
Handling Precautions
26
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 chemicals that result in rust and
corrosion such as in a chemical lab.
If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions
before using it. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is
an important shoot such as a foreign trip coming up, have the camera
checked by your nearest Canon Service Center or check the camera
yourself and make sure it is working properly.
If you repeat continuous shooting or perform Live View shooting or movie
shooting for a prolonged period, the camera may become hot. This is not a
malfunction.
If there is a bright light source inside or outside the image area, ghosting
may occur.
LCD Monitor
Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision
technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, 0.01% or fewer of the pixels
may be dead, and there may also be spots of black, red, or other colors.
Dead pixels 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 slightly slow in low temperatures, or
look black in high temperatures. It will return to normal at room temperature.
27
Handling Precautions
Cards
To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:
Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force,
physical shock, or vibration.
Do not touch the card’s electronic contacts with your fingers or anything
metallic.
Do not affix any stickers, etc. on the card.
Do not store or use the card near anything that has a strong magnetic field,
such as a TV set, speakers, or magnets. Also avoid places prone to having
static electricity.
Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
Store the card in a case.
Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
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 smudges are
visible on the images, having the sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is
recommended.

36
1Remove the protective cover.
Detach the protective cover provided
with the battery.
2Attach the battery.
As shown in the illustration, attach the
battery securely to the charger.
To detach the battery, follow the
above procedure in reverse.
3Recharge the battery.
Connect the power cord to the
charger and insert the plug into a
power outlet.
Recharging starts automatically and
the charge lamp lights up in orange.
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 room temperature (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 (5°C - 10°C /
41°F - 50°F) will take longer (up to approx. 4 hr.).
Charging the Battery
37
Charging the Battery
Upon purchase, the battery is not fully charged.
Charge the battery before use.
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 will keep being 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 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 may
damage the battery charger.
If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after having
been fully charged, the battery has reached the end of its
service life.
Check the battery’s recharge performance (p.380) and purchase a
new battery.
Tips for Using the Battery and Charger
After disconnecting the charger’s power plug, do not touch the prongs for
approx. 5 sec.
Do not charge any battery other than a Battery Pack LP-E17.
Battery Pack LP-E17 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.
38
Load a fully charged Battery Pack LP-E17 into the camera. The camera
can use an SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory card (sold separately). UHS-I
Speed Class SDHC and SDXC memory cards can also be used. The
captured images are recorded onto the card.
Make sure the card’s write-protect switch is set upward to
enable writing/erasing.
1Open the cover.
Slide the lever as shown by the
arrows and open the cover.
2Insert the battery.
Insert the end with the battery
contacts.
Insert the battery until it locks in

When the access lamp is lit or blinking, it indicates that images are
being written to, read from, or erased from the card, or data is being
transferred. Do not open the card slot/battery compartment cover.
Also, never do any of the following while the access lamp is lit or
blinking. Otherwise, it can damage the image data, card, or camera.
• Removing the card.
• Removing the battery.
• Shaking or banging the camera around.
• Unplugging and connecting a power cord (when household power
outlet accessories (sold separately, p.381) are used).
If the card already contains recorded images, the image number may not
start from 0001 (p.292).
If a card-related error message is displayed on the LCD monitor, remove
and reinsert the card. If the error persists, use a different card.
If you can transfer images on the card to a computer, transfer all the
images and then format the card with the camera (p.68). The card may
then return to normal.
Do not touch the card’s contacts with your fingers or metal objects. Do
not expose the contacts to dust or water. If smudges adhere to the
contacts, contact failure may result.
Multimedia cards (MMC) cannot be used. (Card error will be displayed.)

3 Setting the Touch Control Response
Cautions for Touch Control Operations
Since the LCD monitor is not pressure sensitive, do not use any sharp
objects, such as your fingernail or a ballpoint pen, for touch operations.
Do not use wet fingers for touch operations.
If the LCD monitor has any moisture or if your fingers are wet, the touch
screen may not respond or malfunction may occur. In such a case, turn
off the power and wipe off the moisture with a cloth.
Attaching any commercially-available protective sheet or sticker on the
LCD monitor may degrade the touch operation response.
If you quickly perform touch operation when [Sensitive] is set, the touch
operation response may be poor.

3 Formatting the Card
When the card is formatted, all images and data on the card will be
erased. Even protected images will be erased, so make sure there is
nothing you need to keep. If necessary, transfer the images and data to
a computer, etc. before formatting the card.
The card capacity displayed on the card format screen may be smaller
than the capacity indicated on the card.
This device incorporates exFAT technology licensed from Microsoft.
69
3 Formatting the Card
The card is new.
The card was formatted by a different camera or a computer.
The card is full of images or data.
A card-related error is displayed (p.427).
Card’s file formats
SD/SDHC cards will be formatted in FAT32. SDXC cards will be
formatted in exFAT.
When shooting a movie with a card formatted in exFAT, the movie
will be recorded in a single file (instead of being split into multiple
files) even if it exceeds 4 GB. (The movie file will exceed 4 GB.)
Perform [Format card] in the following cases:
Low-level Formatting
Perform low-level formatting if the card’s writing or reading speed seems
slow or if you want to totally erase the data on the card.
Since low-level formatting will format all recordable sectors on the card, the
formatting will take slightly longer than normal formatting.
You can stop the low-level formatting by selecting [Cancel]. Even in this
case, normal formatting will already be complete and you can use the card
as usual.
If you format an SDXC card with this camera and then insert it into
another camera, an error may be displayed and the card may become
unusable. Certain computer operating systems or card readers may not
recognize a card formatted in exFAT.
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, perform low-level formatting or destroy the card physically to
prevent personal data from being leaked.
Before using a new Eye-Fi card, the software on the card must be
installed on your computer. Then format the card with the camera.

set it to <AF> (autofocus).
The flash fired even if it was daylight.
For a backlit subject, the flash may fire to help lighten the subject’s
dark areas. If you do not want the flash to fire, use the Quick Control

Off) mode and shoot (p.77).
The built-in flash fired and the picture came out extremely
bright.
Move further away from the subject and shoot. When shooting with
flash, 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 the AF-
assist beam. Its effective range is approx. 4 meters / 13.1 feet. Note
that the built-in flash will make a sound when firing continuously.
This is normal and not a malfunction.
When flash was used, the bottom part of the picture came out
unnaturally dark.
The shadow of the lens barrel was captured in the picture because
the subject was too close to the camera. Move further away from the
subject and shoot. If a hood is attached to the lens, remove it before
taking the flash picture.
75
Depending on the scene, positioning the subject toward the left or right to
include a balanced background will result in a picture with better perspective.
In the <A> mode, pressing the shutter button halfway to focus on a
still subject will lock the focus on that subject. Recompose the shot
while keeping the shutter button pressed halfway, and then 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 <8:
5C>).
In the <A> mode, if the subject moves (distance to camera changes)
during or after focusing, AI Servo AF will take effect to focus on the
subject continuously. (The beeper will continue beeping softly.) As long
as you keep the AF point positioned over the subject while pressing the
shutter button halfway, focusing will be continuous. At the decisive
moment, press the shutter button completely to take the picture.

subject stand out. It also makes skin tones and hair look softer.
Select the location where the distance between the subject and
the background is the farthest.
The further the distance between the subject and background, the
more blurred the background will look. The subject will also stand
out better against an uncluttered dark background.
Use a telephoto lens.
If you have a zoom lens, use the telephoto end to fill the frame with
the subject from the waist up. Move in closer as necessary.
Focus on the face.
Check that the AF point covering the face lights up. For close-ups of
the face, focus on the eyes.
2 Shooting Portraits
Shooting Tips
アテ
The default setting is <i> (Continuous shooting). If you keep holding down
the shutter button, you can shoot continuously (max. approx. 5.0 shots/sec.)
to capture changes in the subject’s facial expression and pose.
88
Use the <q> (Group Photo) mode to shoot group photos. You can take
a picture in which both the people in the front and people in the back are
all in focus.
Use a wide-angle lens.
When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to make it easy to
get all the people in the group in focus at once, from the front row to
the back. Also, if you place a little distance between the camera and
the subjects (so that the subjects’ entire bodies are in the shot), the
focus range increases in depth.
Take multiple shots of the group.
It is recommended to shoot multiple photos in case some people
close their eyes.
q Shooting Group Photos
Shooting Tips
See the cautions on page 98.
When shooting indoors or in low-light, hold the camera steady or use a
tripod to prevent camera shake.
You can adjust the image brightness with [Brightness].
89
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 a zoom lens, set the lens to the wide-angle end to make
the objects near and far in focus. It also adds breadth to landscapes.
Shooting night scenes.
The <3> mode is also good for night scenes because it disables
the built-in flash. When shooting night scenes, use a tripod to
prevent camera shake.
3 Shooting Landscapes
Shooting Tips
The built-in flash will not fire even in backlit or low-light conditions.
If you are using an external Speedlite, the Speedlite will fire.
90
Use the <5> (Sports) mode to shoot a moving subject, such as a
running person or a moving vehicle.
Use a telephoto lens.
Use of a telephoto lens is recommended for shooting from a
distance.
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
indicator <o> will blink.
The default setting is <i> (Continuous shooting). At the decisive
moment, press the shutter button completely to take the picture. If
you keep holding down the shutter button, you can shoot
continuously while maintaining autofocus to capture changes in the
subject’s movement.
5 Shooting Moving Subjects
Shooting Tips
The built-in flash will not fire even in backlit or low-light conditions.
Under low light where camera shake tends to occur, the viewfinder’s
shutter speed display on the bottom left will blink. Hold the camera
steady and shoot.
If you are using an external Speedlite, the Speedlite will fire.

you keep holding down the shutter button, you can shoot
continuously while maintaining autofocusing to capture changes in
the subject’s facial expression and movement.
C Photographing Children
Shooting Tips
While the flash is recharging, “DbuSY” is displayed in the viewfinder, and
a picture cannot be taken. Take the picture after this display turns off.
See the cautions on page 98.
92
When you want to shoot 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 small objects such as flowers stand out
better.
Move in as close as possible to the subject.
Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. Some lenses
have indications such as <0.25m/0.8ft> on them. The lens minimum
focusing distance is measured from the <V> (focal plane) mark on
the top of the camera to the subject. If you are too close to the
subject and focus cannot be achieved, the focus indicator <o> will
blink.
If the built-in flash is fired and the bottom part of the picture comes
out unnaturally dark, move away a little from the subject and try
again.
With a zoom lens, use the telephoto end.
When using a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the
subject look larger.
4 Shooting Close-ups
Shooting Tips
93
When shooting food, use <P> (Food). The photo will look bright and
appetizing. Also, depending on the light source, the reddish tinge will be
suppressed in the pictures taken under tungsten lights, etc.
Change the color tone.
You can change [Color tone]. To increase the food’s reddish tinge,
set it toward [Warm]. Set it toward [Cool] if it looks too red.
Avoid using flash.
If you use flash, the light may reflect off the dish or food and results
in unnatural shadows. Therefore, <b> (Built-in flash off) is set by
default. Try to prevent camera shake when shooting in low-light
locations.
P Shooting Food
Shooting Tips
Since this mode lets you shoot the food in appetizing color tones, human
subjects may be photographed with an unsuitable skin tone.
The warm color cast of subjects may fade.
When multiple light sources are included on the screen, the warm color
cast of the picture may not be reduced.
If you use flash, the [Color tone] setting will switch to the standard.
94
When you want to photograph a human subject lit in candlelight, use
<x> (Candlelight). The atmosphere of candlelight is reflected in the
color tones of the picture.
Use the center AF point to focus.
Aim the center AF point in the viewfinder over the subject, then
shoot.
Prevent camera shake if the numeric display (shutter speed) in
the viewfinder blinks.
Under low light, the viewfinder’s shutter speed display will blink.
Hold the camera steady or use a tripod. When using a zoom lens,
you can reduce the blur caused by camera shake by setting the lens
to the wide-angle end.
Change the color tone.
You can change [Color tone]. To increase the candlelight’s reddish
tinge, set it toward [Warm]. Set it toward [Cool] if it looks too red.
x Shooting Candlelight Portraits
Shooting Tips
Live View shooting is not possible.
Flash photography is not possible. In low light, the AF-assist beam may
be emitted (p.117).
95
When you want to photograph people at night and obtain a natural-
looking night scene in the background, use the <6> (Night Portrait)
mode. Using a tripod is recommended.
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, since camera shake is prone to occur with
handheld shooting, use a tripod.
Check the subject’s brightness.
Under low light, the built-in flash will fire automatically to obtain a
good exposure of the subject.
Note that it is recommended to play back the captured image on
location to check the image brightness. If the subject looks dark,
move nearer and shoot again.
Also shoot in other shooting modes.
Since camera shake is prone to occur with night shots, shooting also
with <A> and <F> is recommended.
6
Shooting Night Portraits (With a Tripod)
Shooting Tips
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.
See the cautions on page 98.
96
Using a tripod when shooting a night scene gives the best results.
However, the <F> (Handheld Night Scene) mode enables you to shoot
night scenes even while handholding the camera. In this shooting
mode, four shots are taken consecutively for each picture, and the
resulting one image with reduced camera shake is recorded.
Hold the camera firmly.
During shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. In this mode,
four shots are aligned and merged into a single image. However, if
there is significant misalignment in any of the four shots due to
camera shake, they may not align properly in the final image.
For shots including people, fire the flash.
If you are to include people in the night scene shot, press the <Q>
button to set <D> (Built-in flash on). To take a nice portrait, the first
shot will use flash. Tell the subject not to move until all four
consecutive shots are taken.
F Shooting Night Scenes (Handheld)
Shooting Tips
Compared to other shooting modes, the shooting range will be smaller.
See the cautions on pages 98-99.
97
When shooting a scene having both the bright and dark areas, use the
<G> (HDR Backlight Control) mode. When you take one picture in this
mode, three consecutive shots are taken at different exposures. This
results in one image, with a wide tonal range, that has minimized the
clipped shadows caused by backlighting.
Hold the camera firmly.
During shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. In this mode,
three shots are aligned and merged into a single image. However, if
there is significant misalignment in any of the three shots due to
camera shake, they may not align properly in the final image.
G Shooting Backlit Scenes
Shooting Tips
Compared to other shooting modes, the shooting range will be smaller.
Flash photography is not possible. In low light, the AF-assist beam may
be emitted (p.117).
See the cautions on page 99.
HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.
98
Cautions for <q> Group Photo
Since distortion correction is applied, the camera records an image area
narrower than the one seen through the viewfinder. (The image
periphery is slightly trimmed and the resolution looks slightly lowered.)
Also, during Live View shooting, the angle of view changes slightly.
Cautions for <C> Kids
During Live View shooting, if flash is fired in continuous shooting, the
continuous shooting speed will decrease. Even if the flash is not fired for
subsequent shots, shooting will still be performed with the decreased
continuous shooting speed.
Cautions for <6> Night Portrait and <F> Handheld Night Scene
During Live View shooting, achieving focus may be difficult with point
sources of light, such as may be found in a night scene. In such a case,
set the lens’s focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually.
The Live View image displayed will not look exactly the same as the
actual captured image.
Cautions for <6> Night Portrait
During Live View shooting, achieving focus may be difficult when the
face of the subject looks dark. In such a case, set the lens’s focus mode
switch to <MF> and focus manually.
99
Cautions for <F> Handheld Night Scene and <G> HDR Backlight
Control
You cannot select 1+73 or 1. If 1+73 or 1 is set, the image
will be recorded in 73 quality.
If you shoot a moving subject, the subject’s movement may leave
afterimages, or the surrounding area of the subject may become dark.
The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns
(lattice, stripes, etc.), flat or single-tone images, or images significantly
misaligned due to camera shake.
It takes some time to record images to the card since they are merged
after shooting. During the image processing, “buSY” will be displayed in
the viewfinder, and you cannot take another picture until the processing
is complete.
Cautions for <F> Handheld Night Scene
In flash photography, if the subject is too close to the camera, the picture
may come out extremely bright (overexposure).
In flash photography, if you shoot a night scene with limited lights, the
shots may not align correctly. This may result in a blurry picture.
In flash photography, if the human subject is close to the background that
is also illuminated by the flash, the shots may not align correctly. This
may result in a blurry picture. Unnatural shadows and unsuitable colors
may also appear.
Flash coverage angle with an external Speedlite:
• When using a Speedlite with automatic flash coverage setting, the
zoom position will be fixed to the wide (wide-angle) end regardless of
the lens’s zoom position.
• When using a Speedlite requiring manual flash coverage setting, set
the flash head to the normal position.
Cautions for <G> HDR Backlight Control
The image may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and may look
irregular or have significant noise.
HDR Backlight Control may not be effective for excessively backlit
scenes or extremely high-contrast scenes.
When shooting subjects that are sufficiently bright as they are, for
example for normally lit scenes, the image may look unnatural due to the
HDR effect.

Gives the image a soft look. You can change the degree of softness
by adjusting the blur.
X 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 expands
the center part of the image, the resolution at the center may
decrease depending on the number of recorded pixels. Check the
image on the screen when setting this filter. The AF point will be
fixed to the one at the center.

v Shooting with Creative Filter Effects
Z Water painting effect
Makes the photo look like a watercolor painting with soft colors. You
can control the color density by adjusting the filter effect. Note that
night scenes or dark scenes may not be rendered with a smooth
gradation and may look irregular or have significant noise.
H Toy camera effect
Darkens the photo’s corners and applies a unique color tone that
makes it look as if it was shot by a toy camera. You can change the
color cast by adjusting the color tone.
c Miniature effect
Creates a diorama effect.
If you want the image center to look sharp, take the picture without
changing any setting.
To move the area that looks sharp (miniature effect frame) in Live
View shooting, see “Adjusting Miniature Effect” (p.105). The AF
method will be Live 1-point AF. Positioning the miniature effect frame
over the AF point before shooting is recommended.
During viewfinder shooting, aim the center AF point over the subject
and shoot.
A HDR art standard
Clipped highlights and shadows will be reduced. The low contrast
and flat gradation create a painting-like effect. The subject outlines
will have bright (or dark) edges.
B HDR art vivid
The colors are more saturated than with [HDR art standard], and
the low contrast and flat gradation create a graphic art effect.
For <A> <B> <C> <D>, clipped highlights and shadows will be
reduced for a high dynamic range of tones even with high-contrast scenes.
Three images of different exposures are captured continuously for
each shot and merged into a single image. See the cautions on
page 104.
v Shooting with Creative Filter Effects
104
C HDR art bold
The colors are the most saturated, making the subject pop out, and
the picture looks like an oil painting.
D HDR art embossed
The color saturation, brightness, contrast and gradation are
decreased to make the picture look flat. The picture looks faded and
old. The subject outlines will have bolder bright (or dark) edges.
Cautions for <A> HDR Art Standard, <B> HDR Art Vivid,
<C> HDR Art Bold, and <D> HDR Art Embossed
Compared to other shooting modes, the image area will be smaller.
The Live View image displayed with the filter applied will not look exactly
the same as the actual captured image.
If you shoot a moving subject, the subject’s movement may leave
afterimages, or the surrounding area of the subject may become dark.
The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns
(lattice, stripes, etc.), flat or single-tone images, or images significantly
misaligned due to camera shake.
If you are handholding the camera, try to prevent camera shake when
shooting.
The color gradation of the sky or white walls may not be reproduced
correctly. Irregular exposure, irregular colors, or noise may appear.
Shooting under fluorescent or LED lighting may result in unnatural color
reproduction of the illuminated areas.
It takes some time to record images to the card since they are merged

Setting the AF and
Drive Modes
The AF points in the viewfinder are
arranged to make AF shooting
suitable for a wide variety of
subjects and scenes.
You can also select the AF operation and drive mode
that best match the shooting conditions and subject.
The O icon at the upper right of the page title indicates that
the function is available only in Creative Zone modes
(p.31).
In Basic Zone modes, the AF operation is set automatically.
<AF> stands for autofocus. <MF> stands for manual focus.
114
You can select the AF (autofocus) operation characteristics to suit the
shooting conditions or subject. In Basic Zone modes, the optimum AF
operation is set automatically for the respective shooting mode.

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

If focus cannot be achieved, the focus indicator <o> in the viewfinder
will blink. If this occurs, the picture cannot be taken even if the shutter
button is pressed completely. Recompose the shot or see “Subjects
Difficult to Focus on” (p.121) and try to focus again.
If [53: Beep] is set to [Disable], the beeper will not sound when focus is
achieved.
After achieving focus with One-Shot AF, you can lock the focus on a
subject and recompose the shot. This is called “focus lock”. This is useful
when you want to focus on a peripheral subject.
When a lens equipped with an electronic manual focusing function is
used, see page 118.
f: Changing the Autofocus OperationN
116
This AF operation is suited for moving subjects when the focusing
distance keeps changing. While you hold down the shutter button
halfway, the camera will keep focusing on the subject
continuously.
The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.
When the AF point selection (p.119) is automatic, the camera first
uses the center AF point to focus. During autofocusing, if the subject
moves away from the center AF point, focus tracking continues as
long as the subject is covered by another AF point.
AI Focus AF switches the AF operation from One-Shot AF to AI
Servo AF automatically if a still subject starts moving.
After the subject is in focus in One-Shot AF, if the subject starts
moving, the camera will detect the movement, change the AF
operation automatically to AI Servo AF, and start tracking the moving
subject.
AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects
AI Focus AF for Switching the AF Operation Automatically
With AI Servo AF, the beeper will not sound even when focus is achieved.
Also, the focus indicator <o> in the viewfinder will not light up.
When focus is achieved with AI Focus AF with the Servo operation active,
the beeper will continue beeping softly. However, the focus indicator <o> in
the viewfinder will not light up. Note that focus lock is not possible in this
case.

Under low-light conditions, when you press the shutter button halfway,
the built-in flash may fire a brief burst of flashes. This illuminates the
subject to help autofocusing.
AF-Assist Beam with the Built-in Flash
AF-assist beam will not be emitted from the built-in flash in <7> <8:
5C> modes.
AF-assist beam will not be emitted from the built-in flash when [Built-in
flash firing] is set to <b> in <A>, <C>, <8: 2q4PF>, or
<v: GWXZHc> mode.
The AF-assist beam will not be emitted with AI Servo AF operation.
The built-in flash makes a sound when firing continuously. This is normal
and not a malfunction.
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 <D>
button, the AF-assist beam will be emitted as necessary. Note that
depending on the setting for [5: AF-assist beam firing] under [54:

When shooting a portrait up close, use One-Shot AF and focus
on the eyes.
If you set the composition after focusing on the eyes of the person to
be photographed, the vivid facial expression will stand out more in
the picture.
If it is difficult to focus, select the center AF point.
The center AF point has the highest focusing performance among
the nine AF points.
When you want to keep focusing on a moving subject easily,
use automatic AF point selection and AI Servo AF in
combination (p.116).
The center AF point will first be used to focus on 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.
Shooting Tips
If you use an extender (sold separately) in combination and the open
aperture f/number becomes higher than f/5.6, AF shooting will not be
possible (except in Live View shooting). For details, refer to the extender’s
instruction manual.
121
Autofocus may fail to achieve focus (focus indicator <o> in the
viewfinder blinks) with special subjects such as the following:
Subjects with very low contrast
(Example: Blue skies, solid-color flat surfaces, etc.)
Subjects in very low light
Strongly backlit or reflective subjects
(Example: Cars with highly reflective bodies, etc.)
Near and distant subjects positioned close to an AF point
(Example: Animals in cages, etc.)
Light source such as dots of light positioned close to an AF point
(Example: Night scenes, etc.)
Subjects with repetitive patterns
(Example: Skyscraper windows, computer keyboards, etc.)
Subjects with finer patterns than an AF point
(Example: Faces or flowers as small as or smaller than an AF point,
etc.)
In such cases, focus in either of the following two ways.
(1) With One-Shot AF, focus on an object at the same distance as the
subject and lock the focus, then recompose the shot (p.75).
(2) Set the lens’s focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually.
Subjects Difficult to Focus on
Depending on the subject, focus may be achieved by slightly
recomposing the shot and performing AF operation again.
For conditions that make focusing difficult with AF during Live View
shooting or movie shooting, see page 221.

I want to select the image-recording quality matching the paper
size for printing.
Refer to the diagram on the left when
choosing the image-recording quality. If
you want to crop the image, selecting a
higher quality (more pixels) such as 73,
83, 1+73, or 1 is recommended.
b is suitable for playing back the image
with a digital photo frame.
What’s the difference between 7 and 8?
These settings indicate the different levels of image quality caused
by different compression rates. The 7 setting produces a higher
image quality with the same number of pixels. Although 8 produces
a slightly lower image quality, this allows more images to be saved
on the card. b will be in 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 is indicated. On the contrary, 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 on the viewfinder’s right side. Since
it is only a single-digit indicator 0 - 9, any number higher than 8 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 must be processed on a computer. For details, see

shutter button halfway.
When [AUTO] is set, the ISO speed is
indicated in whole-stop increments.
However, the ISO speed is actually
set in finer increments. Therefore, in
the image’s shooting information
(p.349), you may find an ISO speed
such as ISO 125 or ISO 640
displayed as the ISO speed.
Automatic ISO speed setting: ISO [AUTO]
Under [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [4: Highlight tone priority] is
set to [1:Enable], ISO 100 and “H” (equivalent to ISO 51200) cannot be
selected (p.367).
Shooting in high temperatures may result in images that look grainier.
Long exposures can also cause irregular colors in the image.
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.
When shooting in conditions that produce an extreme amount of noise,
such as a combination of high ISO speed, high temperature, and long
exposure, images may not be recorded properly.
As “H” (equivalent to ISO 51200) is an expanded ISO speed setting,
noise (dots of light, banding, etc.) and irregular colors will be more
noticeable, and the resolution will be lower compared to the standard
setting.

White balance (WB) is for making the white areas look white. Normally,
the Auto [Q] (Ambience priority) or [Qw] (White priority) setting will
obtain the correct white balance. If natural-looking colors cannot be
obtained with Auto, you can select the white balance to match the light
source or set it manually by shooting a white object.
In Basic Zone modes, [Q] (Ambience priority) is set automatically. (In
the <P> mode, [Qw] (White priority) is set.)

To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of the type of
lighting. With a digital camera, the white for color correction basis is
decided depending on the color temperature of the illumination, and
then the color is adjusted with software to make the white areas look
white. With this function, you can take the pictures with natural color
tones.

With just one shot, three images with different color tones 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 and magenta/green bias. This function 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.
In step 2 for “White Balance

Since three images are recorded for one shot, it takes longer to record
the image to the card.
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.
During Live View shooting, the white balance icon will blink.

If you shoot a moving subject, the moving subject may leave
afterimages.
The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns
(lattice, stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.
If the subject’s brightness changes as the four consecutive shots are
taken, irregular exposure in the image may result.
After shooting, it may take some time to record an image to the card after
performing noise reduction and merging the images. During the image
processing, “buSY” will be displayed in the viewfinder, and you cannot
take another picture until the processing is complete.
You cannot use AEB and white balance bracketing.

cannot take another picture until the noise reduction process is complete.
Images taken at ISO 1600 or higher may look grainier with the [Enable]
setting than with the [Disable] or [Auto] setting.
With [Auto] or [Enable] set, if a long exposure is used with the Live View
image displayed, “BUSY” will be displayed during the noise reduction
process. The Live View display will not appear until the noise reduction is
complete. (You cannot take another picture.)

Peripheral light fall-off is a phenomenon that makes the image corners
look darker due to the optical characteristics of the lens. Color fringing
along subject outlines is called chromatic aberration. Image distortion
due to optical characteristics of the lens is called distortion. And
decreased image sharpness due to the aperture is called diffraction
phenomenon. These lens aberrations can be corrected.
By default, [Peripheral illum corr], [Chromatic aberr corr], and
[Diffraction correction] are set to [Enable], and [Distortion
correction] is set to [Disable].
If the lens correction data is registered (saved) in the camera,
peripheral illumination correction, chromatic aberration correction, and
diffraction correction will be applied even in Basic Zone modes.
If the setting screen displays [Correction data not available] or the
[F] icon, it means that the correction data for the respective lens is not
registered in the camera. See “Lens Correction Data” on page 157.

Diffraction Correction
Since distortion correction is applied, the camera records an image
range narrower than the one seen through the viewfinder. (The image
periphery is slightly trimmed and the resolution looks slightly lowered.)
Distortion correction will be reflected in the captured image, but it cannot
be seen in the viewfinder during shooting.
Distortion correction cannot be set during movie shooting or when Multi
Shot Noise Reduction is set.
Using distortion correction during Live View shooting will slightly affect
the angle of view.
When you magnify the image during Live View shooting, distortion correction
is not applied to the image displayed. Therefore, magnifying the periphery of
the image may display parts of the image that will not be recorded.
Images with distortion correction applied will not have the Dust Delete
Data (p.304) appended. Also, the AF point(s) will not be displayed
(p.349) for image playback.
Depending on shooting conditions, noise may be intensified together
with the effects of correction.
The higher the ISO speed, the lower the correction amount will be.
Diffraction correction will not be applied to the Live View image.
For movie shooting, [Diffraction correction] will not appear. (Correction
is not possible.)
With “Diffraction correction”, degraded resolution due to the low-pass filter,
etc. is corrected in addition to diffraction. Therefore, correction is effective
even at an aperture close to the open aperture.
157
3 Correction of Lens Aberrations due to Optical CharacteristicsN
The lens correction data for lens aberration corrections is registered
(stored) in the camera. With [Enable] selected, the peripheral
illumination correction, chromatic aberration correction, distortion
correction, and diffraction correction will be applied automatically.
With EOS Utility (EOS software, p.444), 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 EOS Utility Instruction Manual.
For lenses incorporating the correction data, it is not necessary to
register the correction data to the camera.

General Cautions for Lens Aberration Correction
Peripheral illumination correction, chromatic aberration correction,
distortion correction, and diffraction correction cannot be applied to
JPEG images already taken.
When using a non-Canon lens, setting the corrections to [Disable] is
recommended even if [Correction data available] is displayed.
The correction amount will be less (except for diffraction correction) if the
lens used does not have distance information.
General Notes for Lens Aberration Correction
The effect of the lens aberration correction varies depending on the lens
used and shooting conditions. Also, the effect may be difficult to discern
depending on the lens used, shooting conditions, etc.
If the effect of the correction is not visible, magnify the image after
shooting and check it again.
Corrections can be applied even when an extender or life-size converter
is attached.
If the correction data for the attached lens is not registered to the
camera, the result will be the same as when the correction is set to
[Disable] (except for diffraction correction).
In Basic Zone modes, peripheral illumination correction, chromatic
aberration correction, and diffraction correction will be applied
automatically. Distortion correction will be applied automatically only in
the <q> mode.
159
The range of reproducible colors is called “color space”. With this
camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or
Adobe RGB. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended.
In Basic Zone modes, [sRGB] is set automatically.
1Select [Color space].
Under the [z3] tab, select [Color
space], then press <0>.
2Set the desired color space.
Select [sRGB] or [Adobe RGB], then
press <0>.
This color space is mainly used for commercial printing and other
industrial uses. This setting is not recommended if you are not familiar
with 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 an
sRGB computer environment and with printers not compliant to Design
rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21 or higher). Post-processing
of the image with computer software will therefore be required.

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 with the aperture displayed, the
aperture value will also change to maintain the
same exposure (amount of light reaching the image
sensor). In this operation, if the aperture value
exceeds the adjustable range, it will blink to indicate
that the standard exposure cannot be obtained.
If the exposure will be too dark, the maximum aperture (lowest
f/number) will blink. If this happens, turn the <6> dial
counterclockwise to set a slower shutter speed or increase the ISO
speed.
If the exposure will be too bright, the minimum aperture (highest
f/number) will blink. If this happens, turn the <6> dial clockwise to
set a faster shutter speed or decrease the ISO speed.
To obtain a correct flash exposure on the main subject, the flash
output will be set automatically (autoflash) to match the
automatically-set aperture. Note that the range of settable shutter
speed will be limited within 1/200 sec. to 30 sec.

The higher the f/number, the wider
the depth of field where sharper focus
is obtained in both the foreground
and background.
Turning the <6> dial clockwise sets
a higher f/number (smaller aperture
opening), and turning it
counterclockwise sets a lower
f/number (larger aperture opening).
3Take the picture.
When you focus and press the
shutter button completely, the picture
will be taken with the set aperture.

The higher the f/number, the smaller the aperture opening will be. The
f/number displayed will differ depending on the lens. If no lens is attached to
the camera, “00” will be displayed for the aperture.
167
f: Changing the Depth of Field
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 will vary depending 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 with the shutter speed displayed, the
shutter speed will also change to maintain the
same exposure (amount of light reaching the
image sensor). In this operation, if the shutter
speed exceeds the adjustable range, it 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
counterclockwise to set a lower 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
clockwise to set a higher f/number or decrease the ISO speed.

To obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be automatically
controlled (autoflash) to match the set aperture. The shutter speed will
be set automatically within the range of 1/200 sec. - 30 sec. to match
the brightness of the scene.
In low light, the main subject is exposed with the autoflash, and the
background is exposed with a slow shutter speed set automatically. The
picture comes out with the standard exposure for both the subject and
background with a touch of the atmosphere (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
camera shake.
To prevent a slow shutter speed, under [z2: Flash control], set
[Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to [1/200-1/60sec. auto] or [1/200
sec. (fixed)] (p.190).
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).
D Using the Built-in Flash
Depth-of-Field PreviewN
While looking at the Live View image (p.196) and holding down the depth-of-
field preview button, you can see how the range of acceptable focus will
change as you adjust the aperture.

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

[5:Expo comp (hold btn, turn S)] with [9: Assign SET button]
under [54: Custom Functions(C.Fn)] (p.371)
Quick Control (p.58)
To obtain a correct flash exposure on the main subject, the flash output
will be set automatically (autoflash) to match the manually-set aperture.
Note that the range of settable shutter speed will be limited within 1/200
sec. to 30 sec. or to bulb.
Exposure Compensation with ISO Auto
D Using the Built-in Flash
If ISO Auto is set, the ISO speed setting will change to obtain the
standard exposure with the set shutter speed and aperture. Therefore,
you may not obtain the desired exposure effect. In such a case, set the
exposure compensation.
If flash is used when ISO Auto is set, exposure compensation will not be
applied even if an exposure compensation amount is set.
Under [z3: Auto Lighting Optimizer], if the checkmark [X] for
[Disable during man expo] is removed, Auto Lighting Optimizer can be
set even in the <a> mode (p.149).
When ISO Auto is set, you can press the <A> button to lock the ISO
speed.
If you press the <A> button and recompose the shot, you can see the
exposure level difference on the exposure level indicator compared to
when the <A> button was pressed.
If exposure compensation (p.174) was applied in <d>, <s>, or <f>
mode, the exposure compensation amount already set will still be
maintained when the shooting mode is switched to <a> with ISO Auto
set.
171
a: Manual Exposure
A bulb exposure keeps the shutter open
for as long as you hold down the shutter
button. It can be used to shoot fireworks
and other subjects requiring long
exposures.
In step 3 on page 169, turn the <6>
dial to the left to set <BULB>. The
elapsed exposure time will be displayed
on the LCD monitor.
BULB: Long (Bulb) Exposures
Elapsed exposure time
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun
or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image
sensor or the camera’s internal components.
Since long bulb exposures produce more noise than usual, the image
may look slightly grainy.
If ISO Auto is set, the ISO speed will be ISO 400.
When shooting bulb exposures, if you use both the self-timer and mirror
lockup, keep pressing the shutter button completely (for 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.
You can reduce the noise due to long exposures by setting [z4: Long
exp. noise reduction] to [Auto] or [Enable] (p.151).
For bulb exposures, using a tripod and a remote switch (sold separately,
p.385) is recommended.
You can also use Wireless Remote Control BR-E1 (sold separately,
p.382) for bulb exposures. When you press the BR-E1’s release button
(transmit button), the bulb exposure will start immediately or 2 sec. later.
Press the button again to stop the bulb exposure.
You can turn off the elapsed exposure time display by pressing the
<U> button.

press the shutter button halfway and focus is achieved. In the w (Partial
metering), r (Spot metering), and e (Center-weighted average metering)
modes, the exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken. (Pressing the
shutter button halfway does not lock the exposure.)
174
Set exposure compensation if the results of shooting without using the
flash are not as bright as expected. This feature can be used in Creative
Zone modes (except <a>). You can set the exposure compensation up
to ±5 stops* in 1/3-stop increments.
If the <a> mode and ISO Auto are both set, see page 170 to set the

compensation for a darker image is set.
The set exposure compensation level will not be applied to movie
shooting.
When you set the power switch to <2>, the exposure compensation
setting will be canceled.
The exposure compensation amount displayed in the viewfinder goes up
to only ±2 stops. If the exposure compensation amount exceeds ±2
stops, the end of the exposure level indicator will display <I> or <J>.
If you want to set exposure compensation exceeding ±2 stops, setting it
with [z2: Expo.comp./AEB] (p.176) is recommended.
176
This feature takes exposure compensation a step further by varying the
exposure automatically in the range of ±2 stops in 1/3-stop increments
with three shots as shown below. You can then choose the best exposure.
This is called AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing).

3 Setting the Flash FunctionN
Flash mode
When using an external Speedlite, you can select the flash mode to
suit your desired photographic effects.
[E-TTL II] is the standard mode of
EX-series Speedlites for automatic
flash photography.
[Manual flash] is the mode for
advanced users who want to set the
[Flash output] (1/1 to 1/128)
themselves.
Regarding other flash modes, refer to
the instruction manual of a Speedlite
compatible with the respective flash
mode.
Shutter synchronization
Normally, set this to [First-curtain synchronization] so that the
flash fires immediately after the exposure starts.
If [Second-curtain synchronization] is set, the flash will be fired
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 a more natural feel. When second-curtain
synchronization is set together with [E-TTL II], the flash will be fired
twice in a row: once when you press the shutter button completely
and once right before the end of the exposure. Also, if the shutter
speed is 1/30 sec. or faster, first-curtain synchronization will be
applied automatically.
If an external Speedlite is attached, you can also select [High-speed
synchronization] (e). For details, refer to the Speedlite’s
instruction manual.
Flash exposure compensation
See “Flash Exposure Compensation” on page 184.

AF Operation
Even when focus is achieved, pressing the shutter button halfway
will focus again.
The image brightness may change during and after the AF
operation.
Depending on the subject and shooting conditions, it may take
longer to focus, or the continuous shooting speed may decrease.
If the light source changes while the Live View image is displayed,
the screen may flicker and focusing may be difficult. If this happens,
exit Live View shooting and perform AF under the actual light source
under which you are shooting.
Notes for AF
If you cannot achieve focus with AF, set the lens’s focus mode switch to
<MF> and focus manually (p.228).
If you shoot the subject at the periphery and it is slightly out of focus,
recompose to move the subject (and AF point) toward the screen center,
focus again, 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 as necessary.
With certain lenses, it may take more time to achieve focus with
autofocus, or accurate focusing may not be achieved.

General 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 prolonged period, the
camera’s internal temperature may rise, and image quality may
deteriorate. Always exit Live View shooting when you are not shooting.
If you shoot a long exposure while the camera’s internal temperature is
high, image quality may deteriorate. Exit Live View shooting and wait a
few minutes before shooting again.
White <s> and Red <E> Internal Temperature Warning Icons
If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged Live
View shooting or under a high ambient temperature, a white <s> or red
<E> icon will appear.
The white <s> icon indicates that the image quality of still photos will
deteriorate. It is recommended that you temporarily exit Live View
shooting and allow the camera to cool down before shooting again.
The red <E> 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. Temporarily exit the Live View
shooting or 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 <s> or <E> icon to appear earlier. When you are not
shooting, always turn off the camera.
If the camera’s internal temperature is high, the quality of images shot
with a high ISO speed or long exposure may deteriorate even before the
white <s> icon is displayed.
Shooting Results
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 with the image area of the normal view.
If you use a TS-E lens (except the TS-E17mm f/4L or TS-E24mm f/3.5L
II) for shifting or tilting the lens or if you use an extension tube, the
standard exposure may not be obtained, or an irregular exposure may
result.
231
General Live View Shooting Cautions
Live View Image
Under low- or bright-light conditions, the Live View image may not reflect
the brightness of the captured image.
Even if a low ISO speed is set, noise may be noticeable in the displayed
Live View image under low light. However, when you shoot, the image
recorded will have less noise. (The image quality of the Live View image
is different from that of the recorded image.)
If the light source (illumination) within the image changes, the screen
may flicker. If this happens, exit Live View shooting and resume Live
View shooting under the actual light source.
If you point the camera in 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 image, the bright area may
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, noise
or irregular colors may appear in the Live View image. However, the
noise or irregular colors will not be recorded in the captured image.
When you magnify the image, the image sharpness may look more
pronounced than in the actual image.
If the shutter speed is 1 sec. or slower, “BUSY” is displayed on the LCD
monitor, and the Live View display will not appear until the exposure is
complete.
Custom Functions
During Live View shooting, certain Custom Function settings will not take
effect (p.365).
Lens and Flash
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 decrease the number of
possible shots depending on the shooting conditions. When the Image
Stabilizer is not necessary, such as when using a tripod, it is
recommended that you set the IS switch to <2>.
The focus preset function is possible for Live View shooting only when
using a (super) telephoto lens equipped with the focus preset mode
released in and after the second half of 2011.
FE lock will not work if the built-in flash is used. FE lock and modeling
flash will not work if an external Speedlite is used.

], the ISO speed will be set automatically within
ISO 100 - ISO 12800. The maximum limit varies depending on the
[
kISO Auto
] setting (p.

).
You can set the ISO speed manually within ISO 100 - ISO 12800 in
whole-stop increments. Under [54: Custom Functions(C.Fn)], if
you set [2: ISO expansion] to [1:On], the maximum limit of the
manual ISO speed setting range will be expanded so you can also
select H (equivalent to ISO 25600).
Under [54: Custom Functions(C.Fn)], if [4: Highlight tone
priority] is set to [1:Enable], the ISO speed will be ISO 200 -
ISO 12800.
Since shooting a movie at ISO 25600 equivalent may result in much
noise, it is designated as an expanded ISO speed (displayed as “H”).
When switching from still photo shooting to movie shooting, check the
camera settings again before shooting movies.
Changing the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting is not
recommended since the changes in the exposure will be recorded.
When shooting a movie of a moving subject, a shutter speed of approx.
1/30 sec. to 1/125 sec. is recommended. The faster the shutter speed,
the less smooth the subject’s movement will look.
If you change the shutter speed while shooting under fluorescent or LED
lighting, image flicker may be recorded.
If you set [5:Expo comp (hold btn, turn S)] with [9: Assign SET

Still Photo Shooting
Cautions for Movie Shooting
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun
or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image
sensor or the camera’s internal components.
When you press the shutter button halfway to autofocus during movie
shooting, the following phenomena may occur.
• Focus may become far off momentarily.
• The brightness of the recorded movie may change.
• The recorded movie may be momentarily still.
• The movie may record the lens mechanical sound.
If <Q> or <Qw> 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 image
may flicker.
Shooting a few test movies is recommended if you intend to perform
zooming during movie shooting. Zooming during movie shooting may
result in recording of changes in exposure or mechanical sound of the
lens, or images may be out of focus.
During movie shooting, you cannot magnify the image even if you press
the <u> button.
Be careful not to cover the built-in microphones (p.234) with your fingers,
etc.
If you connect or disconnect the HDMI cable during movie shooting, the
movie shooting will end.
General Movie Shooting Cautions are on pages 278-279.
If necessary, also read “General Live View Shooting Cautions” on
pages 230-231.
Do not hold the camera in the same position for long periods of time.
Even if the camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same
body part may cause skin redness or blistering due to low-temperature
contact burns. Using a tripod is recommended when using the camera in
very hot places or for people with circulation problems or very sensitive skin.

Notes for Movie Shooting
Each time you shoot a movie, a new movie file is created on the card.
The movie image’s field of view is approx. 100% (with movie recording
size set to [1920x1080]).
Stereo sound is recorded by the camera’s built-in microphones.
If you connect the Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold
separately) to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal (p.28), the
external microphone is given the priority.
Most external microphones equipped with a 3.5 mm diameter mini plug
can be used.
With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E17, the possible movie shooting
time will be as follows: approx. 2 hr. at room temperature (23°C / 73°F) and
approx. 1 hr. 45 min. at low temperatures (0°C / 32°F) (with movie
recording size set to
L6

Movie Files Exceeding 4 GB
Even if you shoot a movie exceeding 4 GB, you can keep shooting
without interruption.
Using SD/SDHC cards formatted with the camera
If you use the camera to format an SD/SDHC card, the camera will
format it in FAT32.
With a FAT32-formatted card, if you shoot a movie and the file size
exceeds 4 GB, a new movie file will be created automatically.
When you play back the movie, you will have to play each movie file
individually. Movie files cannot be played back automatically in
consecutive order. After the movie playback ends, select the next
movie and play it back.
Using SDXC cards formatted with the camera
If you use the camera to format an SDXC card, the camera will
format it in exFAT.
When using an exFAT-formatted card, even if the file size exceeds 4
GB during movie shooting, the movie will be saved as a single file
(rather than being split into multiple files).
Movie Shooting Time Limit
The maximum recording time of one movie clip is 29 min. 59 sec. If the
movie shooting time reaches 29 min. 59 sec., the movie shooting will
stop automatically. You can start shooting a movie again by pressing
the <A> button. (The movie will be recorded as a new movie file.)
When downloading movie files exceeding 4 GB to a computer, use either
the EOS Utility (p.444) or a card reader (p.448). Movie files exceeding 4 GB
will not be downloaded if you perform image download with the function of
the computer’s operating system.

2Shoot an HDR movie.
u Shooting HDR Movies
Since multiple frames are merged to create an HDR movie, certain parts
of the movie image may look distorted. During handheld shooting,
camera shake may make the distortion look more noticeable. Using a
tripod is recommended. Note that even if a tripod is used for shooting,
afterimages or noise may become more noticeable when the HDR movie
is played back frame-by-frame or in slow-motion compared to normal
playback.
Movie digital zoom, video snapshot, and time-lapse movie cannot be set.

Movie Servo AF
With this function enabled, the camera focuses on the subject
continuously during movie shooting. The default setting is [Enable].
When [Enable] is set:
The camera focuses on the subject continuously even when you
are not pressing the shutter button halfway.
If you want to keep the focus at a specific point or if you do not
want the lens mechanical sound to be recorded, you can
temporarily stop Movie Servo AF as follows.
• Tap [Z] on the screen’s bottom left.
• Press the <D> button.
• Under [54: Custom Functions(C.Fn)], if [8: Shutter/AE lock
button] is set to [2:AF/AF lock, no AE lock], you can pause the
Movie Servo AF while holding down the <A> button. When you
let go of the <A> button, Movie Servo AF will resume.
When Movie Servo AF is paused, if you return to movie shooting
after operations such as pressing the <M> or <x> button or
changing the AF method, Movie Servo AF will resume.
When [Disable] is set:
Press the shutter button halfway to focus.

AF method
The AF methods are the same as described on pages 214-223. You

Metering timerN
You can change how long the exposure setting is displayed (AE lock

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 to the camera.
• Also see “Shooting Conditions that Make Focusing Difficult” on page
221.
Since the lens is driven continuously and battery power is consumed, the
possible movie shooting time (p.246) will be shortened.
With certain lenses, the mechanical sound for focusing may be recorded.
In such a case, using Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold
separately) may reduce such sounds in the movie. Also, using certain
USM lenses (for example, the EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM) or
certain STM lenses (for example, the EF-S18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM) will
reduce the lens mechanical sound that is recorded.
Movie Servo AF will pause during zooming or magnified view.
During movie shooting, if a subject approaches or 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).
If you want to set the lens’s focus mode switch to <MF> during Movie
Servo AF, first set the camera’s power switch to <1>.

3 Menu Function Settings
Grid display
With [3x3 l] or [6x4 m], you can display grid lines to help you
level the camera vertically or horizontally before shooting. Also, with
[3x3+diag n], the grid is displayed together with diagonal lines to
help you compose with better balance by aligning the intersections
over the subject.
Note that the grid is not displayed on the LCD monitor during movie
shooting.
V button function
You can set the functions performed by pressing the shutter button
halfway or completely during movie shooting.
If [a/k] or [q/k] is set, besides pressing the <A> button, you
can start or stop the movie shooting by pressing the shutter button
completely or by using Remote Switch RS-60E3 (sold separately,
p.385).

278
General Movie Shooting Cautions
Red <E> Internal Temperature Warning Icon
If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged movie
shooting or under a high ambient temperature, a red <E> icon will
appear.
The red <E> icon indicates that movie shooting will soon be terminated
automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the
camera’s internal temperature decreases. Turn off the power and let the
camera rest for a while.
Shooting a movie at a high temperature for a prolonged period will cause
the <E> icon to appear earlier. When you are not shooting, always turn
off the camera.
Recording and Image Quality
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 depending on the shooting conditions. When the Image
Stabilizer is not necessary, such as when using a tripod, it is
recommended that you set the IS switch to <2>.
The camera’s built-in microphones will also record the operation sound
and mechanical sound of the camera during shooting. Using the
Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold separately) may reduce
these sounds in the movie.
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, the
movie image may freeze temporarily. In such a case, shoot movies with
manual exposure.
If there is a very bright light source in the image, the bright area may
appear black on the LCD monitor. The movie will be recorded almost
exactly as it appears on the LCD monitor.
In low light, noise or irregular colors may appear in the image. The movie
will be recorded almost exactly as it appears on the LCD monitor.
If you play back a movie with other devices, image or sound quality may
deteriorate or playback may not be possible (even if the devices support
MOV/MP4 format).
279
General Movie Shooting Cautions
Recording and Image Quality
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, 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.
Playback and TV Connection
If you connect the camera to a TV set (p.333) and shoot a movie, the TV
set will not output any sound during the shooting. However, the sound
will be properly recorded.
Indicator
Restrictions on MP4-format Movies
Note that generally, the following restrictions apply to MP4-format movies.
Sound will not be recorded for approx. the last two frames.
When you play back movies on Windows, movie images and sound may
become slightly out of synchronization.

As with “100CANON” for example, the folder name starts with three digits
(the 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.294) is executed, a new
folder will be created automatically. Folders numbered from 100 to 999 can
be created.
Creating Folders with a Computer
With the card open on the screen, create a new folder 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 always the folder number from 100 to
999. The last five characters can be any combination of upper- and lower-
case letters from A to Z, numerals, and the underscore “_”. The space
cannot be used. Also note that two folder names cannot share the same
three-digit folder number (for example, “100ABC_D” and “100W_XYZ”),
even if the last five characters in each name are different.

numbering continues in sequence up to 9999. This is useful when
you want to save images numbered anywhere between 0001 to
9999 on multiple cards or in multiple folders into one folder on a
computer.
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 on the card
or in the folder. If you want to use continuous file numbering, it is
recommended that you use a newly-formatted card each time.

This is useful, for example, if you want to use different folders for the
images taken yesterday and the ones taken today. After the manual
reset, the file numbering returns to continuous or auto reset. (There
will be no manual reset confirmation dialog.)
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” or “.MP4” for movies.

Normally, the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit will eliminate most of the dust
that may be visible on captured images. However, for the case where
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 (EOS software, p.444) to erase the dust
spots automatically.
Prepare a solid white object such as a sheet of paper.
Set the lens focal length to 50 mm or longer.
Set the lens’s focus mode switch to <MF> and set the focus to
infinity (u). If the lens has no distance scale, rotate the camera to
face toward you and turn the focusing ring clockwise all the way.
1Select [Dust Delete Data].
Under the [z4] tab, select [Dust
Delete Data], then press <0>.
2Select [OK].
When you select [OK] and press
<0>, the automatic sensor
cleaning will be performed, then a
message will appear. Although there
will be a mechanical sound of the
shutter during the cleaning, no picture
is taken.

3Shoot a solid-white object.
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 aperture-
priority 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.
XWhen 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 is not obtained
successfully, an error message will
appear. Follow the “Preparation”
procedure on the preceding page,
then select [OK]. Take the picture
again.
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 that you update the Dust Delete Data by obtaining it
again.
For details about using Digital Photo Professional (EOS software) to
erase dust spots automatically, refer to the Digital Photo Professional
Instruction Manual.
The Dust Delete Data appended to the image is so small that it hardly
affects the image file size.
Dust Delete Data
Be sure to use a solid-white object such as a new sheet of white paper. If the
object has any pattern or design, it may be recognized as dust data and
affect the accuracy of the dust deletion with EOS software.
306
Dust that could not be removed by the automatic sensor cleaning can
be removed manually with a commercially-available blower, etc. Before
cleaning the sensor, detach the lens from the camera.
The image sensor is extremely delicate. If the sensor needs to be
cleaned directly, having it done by a Canon Service Center is
recommended.
1Select [Sensor cleaning].
Under the [53] tab, select [Sensor
cleaning], then press <0>.
2Select [Clean manually].

3 Manual Sensor CleaningN
If you use a battery, make sure it is fully charged.
Using the household power outlet accessories (sold separately, p.381) is
recommended.
307
3 Manual Sensor CleaningN
When Multi Shot Noise Reduction is set, [Clean manually] cannot be
selected.
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>.
• Removing or inserting the battery.
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 pressurized air or gas to clean the sensor. Pressurized air
may damage the sensor, and sprayed gas may freeze on the sensor and
scratch it.
If the battery level becomes low while cleaning 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.

When the shooting information is displayed, overexposed and

areas where you want the gradation to be faithfully reproduced, set
the exposure compensation to a negative amount and shoot again.
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 [x3:
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.
[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.

G Grainy B/W
Creates a grainy black-and-white photo. You can change the black-
and-white effect by adjusting the contrast.
W Soft focus
Gives the image a soft look. You can change the degree of softness
by adjusting the blur.
X 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.
Creative Filter Characteristics
When shooting 1+73 or 1 image, the Creative filter will be applied
to the 1 image and the image will be saved as a JPEG image.
If an aspect ratio was set for a 1 image and the filter effect is applied
to it, the image will be saved in the aspect ratio that is set.
Dust Delete Data (p.304) will not be appended to images with Fish-eye
effect applied.

Y Art bold effect
Makes the photo look like an oil painting and the subject look more
three-dimensional. You can adjust the contrast and saturation. Note
that subjects such as the sky or white walls may not be rendered
with a smooth gradation and may look irregular or have significant
noise.
Z Water painting effect
Makes the photo look like a watercolor painting with soft colors. You
can control the color density by adjusting the filter effect. Note that
night scenes or dark scenes may not be rendered with a smooth
gradation and may look irregular or have significant noise.
H Toy camera effect
Darkens the photo’s corners and applies a unique color tone that
makes it look as if it was shot by a toy camera. You can change the
color cast by adjusting the color tone.

With a commercially-available Eye-Fi card already set up, you can
automatically transfer captured images to a 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 manufacturer.
The camera is not guaranteed to support Eye-Fi card functions
(including wireless transfer). In case of a problem with an Eye-
Fi card, please check with the card manufacturer. Also note
that approval is required to use Eye-Fi cards in many countries
or regions. Without approval, use of the card is not permitted.
If it is unclear whether the card has been approved for use in
your area, please check with the card manufacturer.

Cautions for Using Eye-Fi Cards
Under [Wi-Fi settings] of [51: Wireless communication settings], if
[Wi-Fi] is set to [Enable], image transfer with an Eye-Fi card will not be
possible.
If “J” is displayed, an error occurred while retrieving the card
information. Turn the camera’s power switch off and on again.
Even if [Eye-Fi trans.] is set to [Disable], it may still transmit a signal. In
hospitals, on airplanes, and in other places where wireless transmissions
are prohibited, remove the Eye-Fi card from the camera beforehand.
If the image transfer does not function, check the Eye-Fi card and
computer settings. For details, refer to the card’s instruction manual.
Depending on the wireless LAN’s connection conditions, the image
transfer may take longer or it may be interrupted.
Because of the communication function, the Eye-Fi card may become
hot.
The camera’s battery power will be consumed faster.
During the image transfer, auto power off will not take effect.
If you insert a wireless LAN card other than an Eye-Fi card, [Eye-Fi
settings] will not appear. Also, the transmission status icon <H> will not
appear.

Troubleshooting Guide
Power-Related Problems
The battery does not recharge.
The battery charger’s lamp blinks.
The camera is not activated even when
the power switch is set to <1>.
The access lamp still blinks even when
the power switch is <2>.
413
Troubleshooting Guide
Do not use any battery other than genuine Canon Battery Pack
LP-E17.
Remove and install the battery again (p.38).
If the electrical contacts are dirty, use a soft cloth to clean them.
Use a fully-charged battery (p.36).
The battery performance may have degraded. See [53: Battery info.]
to check the battery’s recharge performance level (p.380). If the
battery performance is poor, replace the battery with 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.
• Activating the AF frequently without taking a picture.
• Using the lens’s Image Stabilizer.
• Using the LCD monitor frequently.
• Continuing Live View shooting or movie shooting for a prolonged

still turn off after the camera is left idle for approx. 30 min.
(The camera’s power does not turn off.) Press the <U> button to
turn on the LCD monitor.
[Battery communication error. Does this battery/do these
batteries display the Canon logo?] is displayed.
The battery becomes exhausted quickly.
The camera turns off by itself.
Troubleshooting Guide
414
The camera cannot be used with EF-M lenses (p.48).
Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.38).
Slide the card’s write-protect switch to the Write/Erase setting (p.38).
If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to
make space (p.38, 339).
You cannot take a picture when focus indicator <o> in the viewfinder
blinks during focusing with One-Shot AF. Press the shutter button
halfway again to refocus automatically, or focus manually (p.51, 122).
If a card error message is displayed, see page 40 or 427.
Since SDXC cards are formatted in exFAT, if you format a card with
this camera and then insert it into another camera, an error may be
displayed and it may not be possible to use the card.
Shooting-Related Problems
The lens cannot be attached.
No images can be shot or recorded.
The card cannot be used.
An error message is displayed when
the card is inserted in another camera.
415
Troubleshooting Guide
Set the lens’s focus mode switch to <AF> (p.48).
Press the shutter button gently to prevent camera shake (p.50-51).
With a lens equipped with the Image Stabilizer, set the IS switch to
<1>.
In low light, the shutter speed may become slow. Use a faster shutter
speed (p.164), set a higher ISO speed (p.132), use flash (p.182), or
use a tripod.
Set the AF operation to One-Shot AF. Focus lock is not possible in the
AI Servo AF mode or when servo takes effect in AI Focus AF mode
(p.114).
Horizontal stripes (noise) or irregular exposures can be caused by
fluorescent lighting, LED lighting, or other light sources during
viewfinder or Live View shooting. Also, the exposure or color tone may
not come out right. A slow shutter speed may reduce the problem.
The image is out of focus or blurred.
I cannot lock the focus and recompose the shot.
Horizontal stripes appear, or the exposure or color tone
look strange.
Troubleshooting Guide
416
During viewfinder shooting or Live View shooting, if you use a TS-E
lens (except 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 the exposure may be irregular.
The maximum continuous shooting speed may become slower
depending on the shutter speed, aperture, subject conditions,
brightness, lens, flash use, temperature, battery type, remaining
battery level, shooting function settings, etc. For details, see page 124.
If you shoot a subject 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 listed on page 129.
Under [54: Custom Functions(C.Fn)], if [4: Highlight tone priority]
is set to [1:Enable], ISO 100 cannot be set. If [0:Disable] is set, ISO
100 can be set (p.367). This also applies to movie shooting (p.239).
The standard exposure cannot be
obtained or the exposure is irregular.
The continuous shooting speed is slow.
The maximum burst during continuous shooting is lower.
ISO 100 cannot be set.
417
Troubleshooting Guide
Under [54: Custom Functions(C.Fn)], if [4: Highlight tone priority]
is set to [1:Enable], the settable ISO speed range will be ISO 200 -
ISO 25600 (up to ISO 12800 for movies) even when [2: ISO
expansion] is set to [1:On]. If [0:Disable] is set for [4: Highlight tone
priority], [H] can be set (p.367). This also applies to movie shooting
(p.239).
Under [54: Custom Functions(C.Fn)], if [4: 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.367).
Set [z3: 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.149).
If you shoot at night when the background is dark, the shutter speed
automatically becomes slow (slow-sync shooting) so that both the
subject and background are properly exposed. To prevent a slow
shutter speed, under [z2: Flash control], set [Flash sync. speed in
Av mode] to [1/200-1/60sec. auto] or [1/200 sec. (fixed)] (p.190).
Expanded ISO speeds cannot be selected.
The Auto Lighting Optimizer cannot be set.
Even if I set a decreased exposure compensation,
the image comes out bright.
When I use the <f> mode with flash,
the shutter speed becomes slow.
Troubleshooting Guide
418
In shooting modes (<A> <C> <8: 2qC46>
<v: GWXZH>) whose default setting is <a> (Built-in autoflash),
the built-in flash will be raised automatically when necessary.
In the <8: xG> and <v: ABCD> modes, when you
press the shutter button halfway under low-light conditions, the built-in
flash may be raised automatically and emit the AF-assist beam.
If you use the built-in flash too often in too short a period of time, the
flash may stop firing for a while to protect the light-emitting unit.
If you use a flash unit other than an EX-series Speedlite, the flash will
always fire at full output (p.188).
Under [z2: Flash control], if [Flash metering mode] in [External
flash C.Fn setting] is set to [TTL flash metering] (autoflash), the
flash will always fire at full output (p.194).
If flash exposure compensation is set with the external Speedlite,
compensation amount cannot be set with the camera. When the
external Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation is canceled (set to
0), flash exposure compensation can be set with the camera.
Under [z2: Flash control], set [Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to
[Auto] (p.190).
The built-in flash rises by itself.
The built-in flash does not fire.
The external flash always fires at full output.
Flash exposure compensation cannot be
set for the external Speedlite.
High-speed sync cannot be set in the <f> mode.
419
Troubleshooting Guide
A small noise may be heard when the camera’s internal mechanism
moves slightly.
If you use flash, the shutter will make two release sounds each time
you shoot (p.198).
It indicates that the camera’s internal temperature is high. If the white
<s> icon is displayed, the still photo’s image quality may deteriorate.
If the red <E> icon is displayed, it indicates that the Live View
shooting will soon stop automatically (p.230).
It indicates that the camera’s internal temperature is high. If the red
<E> icon is displayed, it indicates that the movie shooting will soon
stop automatically (p.278).
If the card’s writing speed is slow, movie shooting may stop
automatically. For cards that can record movies, see page 8. To find
out the card’s writing speed, refer to the card manufacturer’s website,
etc.
If you shoot a movie for 29 min. 59 sec., the movie shooting will stop
automatically.
The camera makes a noise when it is shaken.
The shutter makes two release sounds during
Live View shooting.
During Live View shooting, a white s or
red E icon is displayed.
During movie shooting, the red E icon is displayed.
Movie shooting stops by itself.
Troubleshooting Guide
420
In shooting modes other than <a>, the ISO speed is set
automatically.
In the <a> mode, you can manually set the ISO speed (p.239).
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 may cause changes in the
exposure regardless of whether the lens’s maximum aperture changes
or not. The changes in the exposure may be recorded as a result.
If you move the camera to the left or right or shoot a moving subject,
the image may look distorted.
Flickering, horizontal stripes (noise), or irregular exposures can be
caused by fluorescent lighting, LED lighting, or other light sources
during movie shooting. Also, changes in the exposure (brightness) or
color tone may be recorded. Note that in the <a> mode, a slow
shutter speed may reduce the problem.
The ISO speed cannot be set for movie shooting.
The exposure changes during movie shooting.
The subject looks distorted during movie shooting.
The image flickers or horizontal stripes appear during
movie shooting.
