technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there might be a few dead  
pixels among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying  
only black or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images  
recorded.

where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only  
temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days.  
  In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow or it  
might look black. It will return to normal at room temperature.

Charging the Battery  
Tips for Using the Battery and Charger  
 
Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be used.  
Even during non-use or storage, a charged battery will gradually  
discharge and lose its power.  
  After recharging the battery, detach it and unplug the power  
cord or prongs from the power outlet.  
  You can attach the cover in a different  
orientation to indicate whether the battery  
has been recharged or not.  
If the battery has been recharged, attach the  
cover so that the battery-shaped hole <  
aligned over the blue sticker on tery. If tattery is  
exhausted, attach the cover in te orienon.  
  When not using the a, rehe battery.  
If the battery is left in for a olonged period, a small amount  
of power current is reing ixcess discharge and shorter  
battery liStothe e protective cover attached. Storing  
the batteafter it is fully can lower the battery’s performance.  
  The batty chargcan also be used in foreign countries.  
The battery arges compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/  
60 Hz power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available  
plug adapter for the respective country or region. Do not attach any  
portable voltage transformer to the battery charger. Doing so can  
damage the battery charger.  
  If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully  
charged, the battery has worn out.  
Purchase a new battery.  
  The charger cannot charge any battery other than Battery Pack LP-E6.  
  Battery Pack LP-E6 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.

If you can transfer all the images in the card to a personal computer,  
transfer all the images and then format the card. The card may then  
return to normal.  
  When holding a hard disk-type card, always hold its sides. You may  
damage the card by holding its flat surfaces. Compared to CF cards,  
hard disk-type cards are more vulnerable to vibration and physical  
shock. If you use such a card, be careful not to subject the camera to  
vibration or physical shock especially while recording or displaying  
images.

About the Lens Image Stabilizer  
When you use the IS lens’ built-in Image Stabilizer, camera shake is  
corrected to obtain a less blurred shot. The procedure explained here is  
based on the EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens as an example.  
* IS stands for Image Stabilizer.

  The Image Stabilizer is not effective for moving subjects.  
  The Image Stabilizer may not be effective for excessive shaking such as  
on a rocking boat.  
  If you use the EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens for panned shots,  
correction of camera shake might not be so effective.  
  The Image Stabilizer can operate with the focus mode switch set to  
either <AF> or <MF>.  
  If the camera is mounted on a tripod, you can save battery power by  
switching the IS switch to <2>.  
  The Image Stabilizer is effective even when the camera is mounted on a  
monopod.

  The focus confirmation light <o> blinks and focus is not  
achieved.  
Aim the AF point over an area having good contrast between light  
and dark, then press the shutter button halfway (p.84). If you are too  
close to the subject, move away and try again.  
  Sometimes multiple AF points flash simultaneously.  
This indicates that focus has been achieved at all those AF points.  
As long as the AF point covering the desired subject flashes, you  
can take the picture.  
  The beeper continues to beep softly. (Tfos confirmation  
light <o> also does not light.)

  The shutter speed display is blinking.  
Since it is too dark, taking the picture may result in a blurred shot  
due to camera shake. Either use a tripod or an external EX-series  
Speedlite (sold separately, p.103) when shooting.  
  Although I used an external Speedlite, the bottom part of the  
photo came out dark.  
If the lens hood is attached, it will obstruct the flash. If the subject is  
near to the camera, detach the hood before shooting with flash.

About RAW  
The RAW image is the data output by the image sensor, converted to  
digital data and recorded on the card as is. You can select it from  
among 1, D1, or D2. “RAW” written in the text will refer to  
all three RAW settings: 1, D1, and D2.  
With RAW images, you can use the provided software to make various  
adjustments as needed. From the RAW image, the software can  
develop and produce the adjusted image in the desired type such as  
JPEG or TIFF.

Maximum Burst During Continuous Shooting  
The maximum burst during continuous shooting indicated on the  
preceding page is the number of continuous shots that can be taken  
without stopping, based on a formatted 2GB card.  
The number is displayed in the  
viewfinder on the bottom right. If the  
maximum burst is 99 or higher, “99” will  
be displayed.

3Setting the Image-recording Quality  
  The maximum burst is displayed even when a card is not in the camera.  
Make sure that a card is loaded before taking a picture.  
  If [8C.Fn II -2: High ISO speed noise reduction] is set to [2: Strong],  
the maximum burst will be greatly reduced (p.176).  
If the viewfinder displays “99” for the maximum burst, it means the maximum  
burst is 99 or higher. If 98 or lower is displayed, the maximum burst is 98 or  
lower. If you stop the continuous shooting, the maximum burst will increase.  
After all the captured images are written to the card, the maximum burst will  
be as listed on page 55.

About White Balance  
To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of the type of  
lighting. With a digital camera, the color temperature is adjusted with  
software to make the white areas look white. This adjustment serves as  
the basis for the color correction. The result is natural-looking colors in  
the pictures.  
You can also use the [2White balance] menu to set the white balance.

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

During WB bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will be  
lower and the number of possible shots will also decrease to one-third the  
normal number. Also, the white balance icon will blink on the LCD panel.  
  You can also set white balance correction and AEB together with white  
balance bracketing. If you set AEB in combination with white balance  
bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded for a single shot.  
  Since three images are recorded for one shot, the card will take longer to  
record the shot.

About the Lens Correction Data  
The camera already contains lens peripheral light correction data for  
about 25 lenses. In step 2, if you select [Enable], the peripheral light  
correction will be applied automatically for any lens whose correction  
data has been registered in the camera.  
With the EOS Utility (provided software), you can check which lenses  
have their correction data registered in the camera. You can also  
register the correction data for unregistered lenses. For details, see the  
Software Instruction Manual (CD-ROM) for EOS Utility.  
  For JG images alrd, lens peripheral light correction  
cannbe applied.  
  Depeng on shoong conditions, noise might appear on the image  
periphe
  When usinparty lens, setting the correction to [Disable] is  
recommended, even if [Correction data available] is displayed.  
  Lens peripheral light correction is applied even when an Extender is  
attached.  
  If the correction data for the attached lens has not been registered to the  
camera, the result will be the same as when the correction is set to  
[Disable].  
  The correction amount applied will be slightly lower than the maximum  
correction amount settable with Digital Photo Professional (provided  
software).  
  If the lens does not have distance information, the correction amount will  
be lower.  
  The higher the ISO speed, the lower the correction amount will be.

up to 9999 imas (file o. 0001 - 9999). When a folder becomes full, a new  
folder with a higher ne-up folder number is created automatically. Also, if  
manual reset (p.75) is executed, a new folder will be created automatically.  
Folders numbered from 100 to 999 can be created.  
Creating Folders with a Personal Computer  
With the card open on the screen, create a new folder named “DCIM”. Open  
the DCIM folder and create as many folders as necessary to save and  
organize your images. The folder name must follow the “100ABC_D” format  
where the first three digits is 100 - 999 followed by five alphanumeric  
characters. The five characters can be a combination of upper- or lower-case  
letters from A to Z, numerals, and an underscore “_”. There can be no space in  
the folder name. Also, folder names cannot have the same three-digit number  
such as “100ABC_D” and “100W_XYZ” even if the letters are different.

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

there are six invisible Assist AF points (in diagram) that function in  
the AI SERVO AF mode. Therefore, even if the subject moves away  
from the center AF point during autofocusing, focusng can still  
continue. Also, even if the subject moves far awaom the center  
AF point, focus tracking continues as long ae sject is covered  
by another AF point.

(Example: Blue sky, solid-color walls, etc.)  
  Subjects in low light  
  Extremely backlit or reflective subjects  
(Example: Car with a reflective body, etc.)  
  Near and far subjects covered by an AF point  
(Example: Animal in a cage, etc.)  
  Repetitive patterns  
(Example: Skyscraper windows, computer koa, etc.)  
In such cases, do one of the following:

button, attach the eyepiece cover (p.100). If stray light enters the  
viewfinder when you press the shutter button, it may throw off the  
exposure.  
  When using the self-timer to shoot only yourself, use focus lock (p.50) for  
an object at about the same distance as where you will be.

Live VieShooting Cautions for Stills and Movies  
Notes Abohe LivView Image  
  Under low ligbright light conditions, the Live View image might not  
reflect the brightness of the captured image. However, for movies, the  
movie image displayed will be recorded in almost the same way you see  
it on the LCD monitor.  
  If the light source within the image changes, the screen might flicker. If  
this happens, stop and resume the Live View shooting under the actual  
light source to be used.  
  If you point the camera in a different direction, it might throw off the Live  
View image’s correct brightness momentarily. Wait until the brightness  
level stabilizes before shooting.  
 
If there is a very bright light source in the picture, such as the sun, the bright  
area might appear black on the LCD monitor. In still photos, such bright  
areas will be recorded properly as a bright area. In movies, the bright areas  
will be recorded in almost the same way you see it on the LCD monitor.

Live View Shooting Cautions for Stills and Movies  
Notes About the Live View Image  
  Under low light, the Live View image might show chrominance noise. In  
still photos, chrominance noise is not recorded. However, in movies, it  
will be recorded in almost the same way you see it on the LCD monitor.  
  When you magnify the image, the image sharpness may look more  
pronounced than it really is.  
Notes About the Shooting Results  
  When you shoot continuously with Live View function for a long period,  
the camera’s internal temperature may increase and it can degrade  
image quality. Terminate Live View shooting when nohooting images.  
  Before taking a long exposure or shooting a mie, stLive View  
shooting temporarily and wait several minutes befoting. This is to  
prevent image degradation.  
  Live View shooting in high temperahigh ISO eeds may  
cause noise or irregular colors.  
  If you shoot still photos SO spr shoot a movie in low light,  
horizontal stripes may eabls noise.  
  If you take the picture is mnified, the exposure might  
not come t as sirednormal view before taking the  
picture. Ding the magnifshutter speed and aperture will be  
displayed red. Even if you the picture during magnified view, the  
captured ige will sw the normal view.

  About the Histogram  
The brightness histogram display shows the exposure level  
distribution and overall brightness. The RGB histogram display is for  
checking the color saturation and gradation. The display can be  
switched with the [4Histogram] menu.  
[Brightness] Display  
Sample Histograms  
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 mo
pixels there are toward the left, the dthe  
image. And the more pixels there ahe  
right, the brighter the image. If there
many pixels on the left, w dewill be

[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. And the more  
pixels there are toward the right, the brighter and denser the color. If  
there are too many pixels on the left, the respective color information will  
be lacking. And if there are too many pixels on the right, the color will be  
too saturated with no detail. By checking the image’s RGB histogram,  
you can see the color’s saturation and gradation condition and white  
balance inclination.

3Appending Dust Delete DataN  
Normally, the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit will eliminate most of the dust  
that might be visible on captured images. However, in case visible dust  
still remains, you can append the Dust Delete Data to the image to later

About the Dust Delete Data  
After the Dust Delete Data is obtained, it is appended to all the JPEG  
and RAW images captured thereafter. Before an important shoot, you  
should update the Dust Delete Data by obtaining it again.  
To erase dust spots automatically with the bundled software, see the  
Software Instruction Manual in the CD-ROM.  
The Dust Delete Data appended to the image is so small that it hardly  
affects the image file size.  
Be sure to use a solid-white object such as a new sheet of white paper. If the

off). During the charging, if the battery’s temperature becomes high for  
any reason, the charging will stop automatically (lamp blinks).When  
the battery temperature goes down, the charging will resume

access lamp will light/blink for a few sec. When the image recording is  
completed, the power will turn off automatically.  
The battery becomes exhausted quickly.  
  Use a fully-charged battery (p.24).

  Set the lens focus mode switch to <AF> (p.31).  
  To prevent camera shake, hold the camera still and press the shutter  
button gently (p.34, 35).  
  If the lens has an Image Stabilizer, set the IS switch to <1>.  
The card cannot be used.  
  If a card error message is displayed, see page 30 or 209.  
The maximum burst during continuous shting is lower.

When I use the <f> mode with flash, the shutter speed  
becomes slow.  
  If you shoot night scenes, the shutter speed becomes slow  
automatically (slow-sync shooting) so that both the subject and  
background are properly exposed. If you do not want a slow shutter  
speed to be set, set [8C.Fn I -7: Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to

  Make sure the flash (or PC sync cord) is securely attached to the  
camera.  
  If you use a non-Canon flash with Live View shooting, set [Silent  
shoot.] to [Disable] (p.104).  
The flash always fires at full output.  
  If you use a flash unit other than an EX-series Speedlite, the flash will  
always be fired at full output (p.103).  
  When the [Flash metering mode] flash Custom Fction is set to

For Live Vieshootinuse a memory card (a hard disk-type card is not  
recommendeddisk-type card requires a lower temperature  
range for operation than normal memory cards. If the temperature gets  
too high, the Live View shooting may stop temporarily to prevent damage  
to the card’s hard disk. When the camera’s internal temperature  
decreases, you can resume Live View shooting (p.112).  
I cannot take still photos at the shutter speed, aperture or ISO

automatically. Use a card with a read/write speed of at least 8 MB per  
sec. To find out the card’s read/write speed, see the card  
manufacturer’s Web site.  
  If the movie file size reaches 4 GB or if the movie is shot for 29 min. 59  
sec., the movie shooting will stop automatically.
