Handling Precautions
Camera Care
This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical
shock.
The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you
accidentally drop the camera into water, promptly consult your nearest
Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the
camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a well-wrung wet cloth.
Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field such
as a magnet or electric motor. Also avoid using or leaving the camera near
anything emitting strong radio waves such as a large antenna. Strong
magnetic fields can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data.
Do not leave the camera in excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight.
High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.
The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to
disassemble the camera yourself.
Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirror, and
focusing screen. Do not use cleaners that contan organic solvents to clean
the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, takhe camera to the nearest
Canon Service Center.
Do not touch the camera’s electrconcts with your fingers. This is to
prevent the contacts from corrodrroded contacts can cause camera
misoperation.
If the camera is suddenly rougt in from the cold into a warm room,
condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent
condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to
the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.
If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid
damaging the camera. If there is condensation, remove the lens, card and
battery from the camera, and wait until the condensation has evaporated
before using the camera.
If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery
and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while the
camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a while to
check that the camera is still working.
Avoid storing the camera where there are corrosive chemicals such as a
darkroom or chemical lab.
If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions
before using it. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is
an important shoot coming up, have the camera checked by your Canon
dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.

Handling Precautions
LCD Panel and LCD Monitor
Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision
technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there might be a few dead
pixels among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying
only black or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images
recorded.
If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur
where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only
temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days.
In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow or it
might look black. It will return to normal at room temperature.
Cards
To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:
Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force,
physical shock, or vibration.
Do not store or use the card near anything having a strong magnetic field
such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Asavoid places prone to having
static electricity.
Do not leave the card in direct unligr near a heat source.
Store the card in a case.
Do not store the card in hot, dr humid locations.
Lens
After detaching the lens from the camera, attach the
lens caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to
avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical
contacts.
Contacts
Cautions During Prolonged Use
If you use continuous shooting, Live View shooting, or movie shooting for a
prolonged period, the camera may become hot. Although this is not a
malfunction, holding the hot camera for a long period can cause slight skin
burns.

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 storage, a charged battery will gradually discharge and
lose its power.
After recharging the battery, detach it and unplug the power
cord from the power outlet.
When not using the battery and charger, attach the protective covers.
Use the battery in an ambient temperature range of 0°C - 45°C /
32°F - 113°F.
To attain best battery performance, an ambient temperature of 10°C -
30°C / 50°F - 86°F is recommended. In cold locations such as snowy
areas, battery performance and operation time may temporarily decrease.
When not using the camera, remove he battery.
If the battery is left in the camera for a olonged period, a small
amount of power current is relea, resulting in excess discharge
and shorter battery life. Tat te battery from the camera and
attach the protective cover e storing. Storing the battery after it
is fully charged can ower the battery’s performance.
The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.
The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/60 Hz
power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available plug adapter for
the respective country or region. Do not attach any portable voltage
transformer to the battery charger. Doing so can damage the battery charger.
Check the battery performance.
While the battery is recharging, press the
<PERFORMANCE> button to check the battery’s
performance level indicated by the Charge level indicator.
(Green) : Battery performance is fine.
(Green) : Battery’s recharge performance is slightly degraded.
(Red) : Purchasing a new battery is recommended.
If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully
charged, the battery has reached the end of its service life.
Check the battery’s recharge performance (p.247) and purchase a new battery.

Charging the Battery
Use the Car’s Cigarette Lighter Socket to Recharge the Battery
With Car Battery Cable CB-570 (sold separately), you can connect the
charger’s car battery cable socket (<DC IN> terminal) to your car’s
cigarette lighter socket.
When recharging the battery this way, be sure that the car’s engine
is running. If the car engine is off, disconnect the car battery cable
from the cigarette lighter socket. If you leave the car battery cable
connected to the cigarette lighter socket, it may drain the car battery.
Do not use a transformer for the car with the battery charger.
Battery charging from a car battery is possible only with a 12 V DC
or 24 V DC car battery in a minus-grounded car. The shape or
dimensions of the cigarette lighter socket in certain cars might not be
compatible with the car battery cable.
The <CAL/CHARGE> Lamp nks n Red
This indicates that you should brathe battery so that the correct
battery level is detected and tmera’s battery level indicator can
display the correct battry level. Calibration is not a required
operation. If you want to just echarge the battery, you can let the
battery start recharging automatically after approx. 10 sec. If you
want to do the calibration, press the <CALIBRATE> button while the
<CAL/CHARGE> lamp is blinking in red. The Charge level indicator
will blink in red and the calibration (power discharge) will start.
After the calibration is completed, the battery will start recharging
automatically. Note that the less depleted the battery, the longer the
calibration will take. The <2h>, <4h>, and <10h> figures on the side of
the Charge level indicator respectively indicate the approximate number
of hours it will take to complete the calibration (power discharge). If the
<10h> indicator blinks in red, it will take approx. 10 hours.
After the calibration is completed and the battery is totally drained, it
will take a further 2 hours to recharge the battery fully. If you want to
stop the calibration before it is completed and start recharging the
battery, remove the battery from the charger and attach it again.

Charging the Battery
All Three Charge Level Indicators Blink
If all three Charge level indicators blink in green, it means that the
battery’s internal temperature is not within 0°C - 40°C / 32°F - 104°F.
The battery will start recharging when the internal temperature is
within 0°C - 40°C / 32°F - 104°F.
If all the Calibration (discharge) status indicators blink in red or if all
the lamps blink in red and green (including the <CAL/CHARGE>
lamp), remove the battery from the charger and take it to your dealer
or to nearest Canon Service Center.
Also, if a battery other than Battery Pack LP-E4 is attached to the
charger, the lamps will blink in red and green (including the <CAL/
CHARGE> lamp) and the battery cannot be recharged.
The charger cannot charge any battery other than Battery Pack LP-E4.
Battery Pack LP-E4 is dedicated to Canon products only. Using it with a
non-Canon battery charger or product may result in malfunction or
accidents for which Canon cannot be held liable.
When two battery packs are attached to the charger, the battery attached
first will be charged first, then the other battery will be charged.
Although one battery can be recharged and another calibrated at the same
time, two batteries cannot be recharged or calibrated at the same time.
For battery calibration, it is best to do it after the battery is nearly
exhausted. If you do the calibration with a fully charged battery, it will
take approx. 12 hours to complete the calibration and the battery
recharging (approx. 10 hours to discharge, and approx. 2 hours to fully
recharge).

Figures for the file size, possible shots, and maximum burst during continuous
shooting are based on Canon’s 4GB testing card and Canon’s testing
standards (JPEG quality 8, ISO 100, and Standard Picture Style). These
figures will vary depending on the subject, card brand, ISO speed,
Picture Style, Custom Functions, and other settings.
The maximum burst applies to <o> high-speed continuous shooting.
Figures in parentheses apply to an Ultra DMA (UDMA) mode 6 16GB card

About RAW
A RAW image is the raw data output by the image sensor, converted to
digital data and recorded on the card as is. You can select from 1,
K1, or 61 (Commonly referred as RAW in this manual).
With RAW images, you can use the provided software to make various
adjustments as desired and then generate a JPEG, TIFF, etc., image.
Commercially-available software might not be able to display RAW images.
Using the provided software is recommended.
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 ppin, based on a formatted
card.
In the viewfinder, throxmate maximum burst is
indicated on te righ.
The maximum burst is displayed even when a card is not inserted 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.214).
If the viewfinder displays “99” for the maximum burst, it means the
maximum burst is 99 or higher. If the maximum burst decreases to 98 or
lower and the internal buffer memory becomes full, “buSY” will be
displayed on the top LCD panel and in the viewfinder and shooting will
be disabled temporarily. 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 61.
The maximum burst indicator in the viewfinder will not change even
when you use a UDMA CF card. However, the maximum burst shown in
parentheses on page 61 will apply.

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 [1 White balance] menu to set the white balance.
To set Personal WB, select [PC-*]. To save the Personal WB to the
camera, use the provided software. If Personal WB has not been
registered, [PC-*] will not be displayed.

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

white balance, 2. Magenta (M) bias, 3. Green (G) bias.
During WB bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will be
lower and the number of possible shots will also decrease to one-third the
normal number. Also, the white balance icon will blink on the rear 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.
“BKT” stands for Bracketing.

About the Lens Correction Data
The camera already contains lens peripheral illumination correction
data for approx. 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 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 JPEG images aeadcaptured, lens peripheral light correction
cannot be applied.
Depending on shooting conditions, noise might appear on the image
periphery.
When using a third-party 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.

As with “100EOS1D” for example, the folder name starts with three digits
(folder number) followed by five alphanumeric characters. A folder can contain
up to 9999 images (file No. 0001 - 9999). When a folder becomes full, a new
folder with a higher one-up folder number is created automatically. Also, if
manual reset (p.89) 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.

the file name’s fourth character from the left. The meaning of the image size
characters is as follows:
“*** L” = 3, 1
“*** N” = 5
“***M” = 4, K1
“***S” = 6, 61
When the image is transferred to a personal computer, the automatically
appended fourth character will be included. You can then see the image size
without having to open the image. The image type (RAW or JPEG) can be
distinguished with the extension.
The first character cannot be an underscore “_”.
The extension will be “.JPG” for JPEG images, “.CR2” for RAW images,
and “.MOV” for movies.
When you shoot a movie with User setting2, the file name’s fourth
character will be an underscore “_”.

Manual Reset
To reset the file numbering to 0001 or to start from file number
0001 in a new folder.
When you reset the file numbering manually, a new folder is created
automatically and the file numbering of images saved to that folder
starts from 0001.
This is convenient if you want to use different folders for the images
taken yesterday and the ones taken today, for example. After the
manual reset, the file numbering returns to continuous or auto reset.
If the file number in 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 it with a new card.

about image processing, Aobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File
System 2.0 (Exif 2.21). The image will look very subdued in a sRGB
personal computer environment and with printers not compatible with
Design rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21). Post-processing of
the image with software will therefore be required.
If the captured still photo was shot in the Adobe RGB color space, the
first character in the file name will be an underscore “_”.

Focus Tracking with AI Servo AF
If the subject approaches or retreats from the camera at a constant rate,
the camera tracks the subject and predicts thfocusing distance
immediately before the picture is taken. This ifor obtaining correct
focus at the moment of exposure.
When the AF point selection omatic (p.97), the camera first
uses the center AF point to fouring autofocusing, if the subject
moves away from the cnter AF point, focus tracking continues as
long as the subject is covered by the Area AF frame.
With a manually selected AF point, the selected AF point will focus
track the subject.
With AI Servo AF, the beeper will not sound even when focus is achieved.
Also, the focus confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder will not light.

Extremely backlit or reflective subjects
(Example: Car with a highly reflective body, etc.)
Near and far subjects covered by an AF point
(Example: Animal in a cage, etc.)
Repetitive patterns
(Example: Skyscraper windows, computer keyboards, etc.)
In such cases, do one of the following:
(1) With One-Shot AF (p.95), focus an objct at the same distance
as the subject and lock the focfore recomposing.

2 Mirror Lockup
Although using the self-timer or Remote Switch can prevent camera
shake, using mirror lockup to prevent camera vibrations (mirror shock)
can also help when you use a super telephoto lens or shoot close ups
(macro photography).

DFlash Photography
Using Non-EX-series Canon Speedlites
With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set in TTL or A-TTL
autoflash mode, the flash can be fired at full output only.
Set the camera’s shooting mode to <a> (manual exposure) or
<f> (aperture-priority AE) and adjust the aperture setting before
shooting.
When using a Speedlite which has manual flash mode, shoot in the
manual flash mode.
Using Non-Canon Flash Units
Sync Speed
The camera can synchronize with compact, non-Canon flash units at 1/300
sec. or 1/250 sec. or slower. With large studio flsh units, since the flash
duration is longer than compact flash units, set te sync speed within 1/125
sec. to 1/30 sec. Be sure to test the flash chroization before shooting.
PC Terminal
The camera’s PC terminal can be
used with flash units having a sync
cord. The PC terminal is threaded to
prevent inadvertent disconnection.
The camera’s PC terminal has no
polarity. You can connect any sync
cord regardless of its polarity.
If the camera is used with a flash unit or flash accessory dedicated to
another camera brand, the camera may not operate properly and
malfunction may result.
Do not connect to the camera’s PC terminal any flash unit requiring 250 V
or more.
Do not attach a high-voltage flash unit on the camera’s hot shoe. It might
not fire.
A flash unit attached to the camera’s hot shoe and a flash unit connected to
the PC terminal can both be used at the same time.

3Setting the Flash
Functions settable under [Flash function settings]
On the screen, the settable functions and what’s displayed will
differ depending on the Speedlite, current flash mode, flash
Custom Function settings, etc.
To see which functions your Speedlite provides, refer to the Speedlite’s
instruction manual.
Flash mode
With an external Speedlite, you can select the flash mode to suit
your flash shooting.
[E-TTL II] is the standard mode of
EX-series Speedlites for automatic
flash shooting.
[Manual flash] is for users who want
to set the [Fash output] (1/1 to 1/
128) temseves.
[MULlash] is for users who want
et the [Flash output],
quency], and [Flash count]
themselves.
For [TTL], [AutoExtFlash], and
Man.ExtFlash], refer to the instruction
[
manual of the Speedlites which
provide the respective flash mode.
Shutter sync.
Normally, set this to [1st curtain] so that the flash fires immediately
after the exposure starts.
If [2nd curtain] is set, the flash will fire right before the shutter closes.
When this is combined with a slow sync speed, you can create a trail
of light such as from car headlights at night. With 2nd curtain sync,
two flashes will be fired: Once when you press the shutter button
completely, and once immediately before the exposure ends.
If [Hi-speed] is set, the flash can be used with all shutter speeds.
This is especially effective for portraits using fill flash when you want
to give priority to the aperture setting.

3Setting the Flash
FEB
While the flash output is changed automatically, three flash shots are
taken. For details, see the instructions for FEB (Flash Exposure
Bracketing) in your Speedlite’s instruction manual.
Flash exposure compensation
The same setting as “Flash exposure compensation” on page 119
can be done.
E-TTL II
For normal flash exposures, set it to [Evaluative].
If [Average] is set, the flash exposure will be averaged for the entire
metered scene as with an external metering flash. Since flash
exposure compensation may be necessary depending on the scene,
this setting is for advanced users.
Zoom
You can adjust the Speedlite’s flash corage. Normally, set this to
[Auto] so that the camera will auaticaly set the flash coverage to
match the lens focal lengt
Wireless setting
Wireless flash (with multile flash units) is possible. For details, see
your Speedlite’s instruction manual about wireless flash.
Flash firing
To enable flash photography, set [Enable]. To enable only the AF-
assist beam to be emitted, set [Disable].
When using 2nd-curtain sync, set the shutter speed to 1/50 sec. or slower. If
the shutter speed is 1/60 sec. or faster, 1st-curtain sync will be applied even
if [2nd curtain] is set.
If flash exposure compensation has already been set with the Speedlite,
you cannot use the camera’s <Q> button or Flash function settings
menu to set flash exposure compensation. If it is set with both the
camera and Speedlite, the Speedlite’s setting overrides the camera’s.
The flash function’s [E-TTL II] setting will work together with C.Fn II -5
(p.215). And [Flash firing] will work with C.Fn II -7 (p.216).

Low-contrast subjects such as the blue sky and solid-color, flat
surfaces.
Subjects in low light.
Stripes and other patterns where there is contrast only in the
horizontal direction.
Under a light source whose brightness, color, or pattern keeps
changing.
Night scenes or points of light.
Under fluorescent lighting or when the image flickers.
Extremely small subjects.
Subjects at the edge of the picture.
Subjects strongly reflecting light.
The AF point covers both a near and faaway subject (such as an
animal in a cage).
Subjects which keep moving wihe AF point and cannot keep
still due to camera shake bjet blur.
A subject approaching or g away from the camera.
Autofocusing while he subject is way out of focus.

Live View Shooting Cautions
Notes About the Live View Image
Under low or bright light conditions, the Live View image might not reflect
the brightness of the captured image.
If the light source within the image changes, the screen might flicker. If
this happens, stop 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. However, the actual
captured image will correctly show the bright area.
In low light, if you set the [6 LCD brightness] to a bright setting,
chrominance noise may appear in the LivView image. However, the
chrominance noise will not be recorded ihe captured image.
When you magnify the image, thge sarpness may look more
pronounced than it really i
About the <E> icon and cainternal temperature increase
When you shoot cotinuously with the Live View function for a long
period or in high temeraures, the camera's internal temperature may
increase and the <E> warning icon will appear on the screen. Note that
if you shoot with the Live View function for a long period in high
temperatures, the <E> warning icon will appear earlier. Turn off the
camera when not shooting images.
If you shoot with the Live View function while the <E> warning icon is
displayed, the image quality of still photos may be degraded. You should
stop Live View shooting and allow the camera to rest until the camera’s
internal temperature decreases.
If Live View shooting continues while the <E> warning icon is displayed,
the camera’s internal temperature will further increase and Live View
shooting may stop automatically. Live View shooting will be disabled until
the camera’s internal temperature decreases. Turn off the camera and
allow the camera to rest for a while.

Live View Shooting Cautions
Notes About the Shooting Results
When you shoot with the Live View function at high ISO speeds, noise
(horizontal banding, dots of light, etc.) or irregular colors may appear.
When you shoot continuously with the Live View function for a long
period, the camera’s internal temperature may increase and it can
degrade image quality. Terminate Live View shooting when not shooting
images.
Before taking a long exposure, stop Live View shooting temporarily and
wait several minutes before shooting. This is to prevent image
degradation.
When you playback an image shot at high ISO speeds, noise or irregular
colors may appear.
If you take the picture during magnified view, the exposure might not
come out as desired. Return to the normal view before taking the picture.
During the magnified view, the shutter speend aperture will be
displayed in red. Even if you take thure dring magnified view, the
image will be captured in the al vw.
Custom Function Notes
During Live View shoong, certain Custom Function settings will be
disabled (p.205-207).
If [8C.Fn II -4: Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.81) is set to a setting other
than [3: Disable], the image may look bright even if manual exposure,
exposure compensation, or flash exposure compensation has been set
to make the exposure darker.

Cards which can record movies
When shooting movies, use a large-capacity card with a fast
writing/reading speed. The CF card’s speed should be 8MB/
sec. or higher. And the SD card should be rated SD Speed
Class 6 “
” or higher.
If you use a slow-writing card when shooting movies, the movie might
not be recorded properly. And if you playback a movie on a card
having a slow reading speed, the movie might not playback properly.
To check the card’s read/write speed, refer to the card
manufacturer’s Web site.

About the ISO speed during manual exposure
The ISO speed can be set to [AUTO] (A) or within ISO 100-12800 in
1/3-stop increments.
If the ISO speed is set to [AUTO] (A), the ISO speed will be set
automatically within ISO 100-12800. (The [8C.Fn I -3: Set ISO
speed range] (p.208) setting will not take effect.) Movie shooting as
in aperture-priority AE mode (fixed aperture, standard exposure) is
then possible.
If [Highest ISO speed] is set to [H1] (ISO 25600), [H2] (ISO 51200),
or [H3] (ISO 102400) in [8C.Fn I -3: Set ISO speed range], the
ISO speed can be set manually within the expanded range up to the
upper limit. Also, if the ISO speed range has been set to a narrower
range than the default, you can set the ISO speed within the
narrower range.
Even if [Lowest ISO speed] has been set [L] (ISO 50) in [8C.Fn

Movie Shooting Cautions
Recording and Image Quality
When you shoot movies at high ISO speeds, noise (horizontal banding,
dots of light, etc.) or irregular colors may appear.
If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer, the Image Stabilizer will
operate at all times even if you do not press the shutter button halfway.
The Image Stabilizer may cause the total movie shooting time or the
number of possible shots to decrease. If you use a tripod or if the Image
Stabilizer is not necessary, you should set the IS switch to <2>.
The camera’s built-in microphone will also pick up camera operation
noise. If you use a commercially-available external microphone, you can
prevent (or reduce) these noises from being recorded.
To autofocus again during movie shooting, press the <p> button.
(AF will not work by pressing the shutter button halfway.) However,
autofocusing during movie shooting is norecommended since it can
momentarily throw the focus way off or nge the exposure.
If the card’s remaining capacity ienouh for movie shooting, the
movie shooting remaining (p.8) will be displayed in red.
If you use a card having a ritig speed, a five-level
indicator might appar on thht of the screen during movie
shooting. It indicatehow 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.
Indicator
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.
During movie shooting, certain Custom Function settings will be disabled
(p.205-207).

point which achieved focus will be displayed in red. If automatic AF
point selection was used, multiple AF points might be displayed in red.
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 [4 Histogram] menu option.
[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 indcates
how many pixels exist for each brightnesleveThe
more pixels there are toward the left, thrker the
image. And the more pixels therowrd the right,
the brighter the image. If tere armany pixels on
the left, the shadow detail will be lost. And if there are
too many pixels on the right, the highlight detail will
be lost. The gradation in-between will be reproduced.
By checking the image and its brightness histogram,
Dark image

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. 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.

About Super Precision Matte Ec-S and Maximum Lens Aperture
This focusing screen is optimzed for f/1.8 to f/2.8 lenses.
If the lens maximum aperture is brighter than f/1.8, the center spot
metering circle and Area AF frame might become difficult to see.
Also, if the lens maximum aperture is slower than f/2.8, the viewfinder
will look darker.
Since the Ec-A, Ec-B, Ec-I, and Ec-L focusing screens have a prism at
the center, correct exposures cannot be obtained with evaluative
metering and center spot metering. Use either center-weighted average
metering or AF point-linked spot metering (except the center AF point).
To change the focusing screen, refer to the instructions that come with
the focusing screen.

Troubleshooting Guide
A darker exposure was set with exposure
compensation, but the image looks bright.
Set [8C.Fn II -4: Auto Lighting Optimizer] to [3: Disable]. If it is set
to [Standard/Low/Strong], the image might still come out bright even
if you set a darker exposure with manual exposure, exposure
compensation, or flash exposure compensation (p.81, 215).
The maximum burst during continuous shooting is lower.
Set [8C.Fn II -2: High ISO speed noise reduction] to one of the
following settings: [Standard/Low/Disable]. If it is set to [Strong], the
maximum burst will greatly decrease (p.214).
If you shoot a subject which has fine detail (field of grass, etc.), the file
size will be larger and the actual maximm burst might be lower than
the number mentioned on page .
ISO 100 cannot be set.
If [8C.Fn II -3: Hihlight te priority] is set to [Enable], the
settable ISO speed angstarts from ISO 200. If [Disable] is set, ISO
100 can be set (p.215).
When I use the <f> mode with flash, the shutter speed becomes slow.
If you shoot at night when the background is dark, the shutter speed
becomes slow automatically (slow-sync shooting) so that both the
subject and background are properly exposed. If you do not want a
slow shutter speed to be set, set [8C.Fn I -15: Flash sync. speed in
Av mode] to 1 or 2 (p.212).
The flash does not fire.
Make sure the flash (or PC sync cord) is securely attached to the
camera.

251
Troubleshooting Guide
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.120).
When the [Flash metering mode] flash Custom Function is set to
[TTL (autoflash)], the flash will always be fired at full output (p.124).
Flash exposure compensation cannot be set.
If flash exposure compensation has already been set with the Speedlite,
flash exposure compensation cannot be set with the camera. When the
Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation is canceled (set to 0), flash
exposure compensation can be set with the camera.
High-speed sync cannot be set in the Av mode.
Set [8C.Fn I -15: Flash sync. spin Amode] to [0: Auto]
(p.212).
Live View shooting is ot pole.
For Live View shooting, use a memory card (a hard disk-type card is
not recommended). A hard disk-type card requires a lower temperature
range for operation than 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.139).
During Live View shooting, the ISO speed, shutter speed, and
aperture cannot be set.
Set [LV z/k set.] to [Stills] (p.126).
The shutter makes two shooting sounds during Live View shooting.
During Live View shooting, the shutter will make two sounds when you
take a picture (p.127).

252
Troubleshooting Guide
Movies cannot be shot with manual exposure.
Set [LV z/k set.] to [Movies] and set the shooting mode to <a>
(manual exposure) (p.142, 144).
The movie shooting terminates by itself.
If the card’s writing speed is slow, movie shooting may stop
automatically. If you use a CF card, use one with a read/write speed of
at least 8 MB per sec. If you use an SD card, use one with SD Speed
Class 6 “
” or higher. To find out the card’s read/write speed,
see the card manufacturer’s Web site, etc.
If the movie file size reaches 4 GB or if the movie recording time
reaches 29 min. 59 sec., movie shooting will stop automatically.
The subject looks distorted during movie shooting.
During movie shooting, if yu mthe camera left or right quickly
(high-speed panning) or moving subject, the image might look
distorted. There mght be listortion if you shoot in the 1280x720
or 640x480 movie rcorng size (p.151).
When I shoot still photos during movie shooting,
the movie shooting stops.
To shoot still photos during movie shooting, using a CF card
compatible with UDMA transfer rates is recommended.
Setting a smaller image size for still photos and shooting fewer
continuous still photos can also resolve the problem.
The movie cannot play.
Movies edited with a personal computer using the provided software,
etc., cannot be played with the camera.

253
Troubleshooting Guide
When the movie is played, camera operation noise can be heard.
If you operate the camera’s dial or lens during movie shooting, the
respective operation noise will also be recorded. Using an external
microphone (commercially available) is recommended (p.153).
Display & Operation Problems
The LCD monitor does not display a clear image.
If the LCD monitor is dirty, use a soft cloth to clean it.
In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow
or might look black. It will return to normal at room temperature.

Troubleshooting Guide
The file numbering does not start from 0001.
If you use a card which already has images recorded, the file
numbering might start from the last image in the card (p.88).
The shooting date and time displayed is incorrect.
The correct date and time has not been set (p.49).
No image appears on the TV screen.
Make sure the stereo AV cable or HDMI cable’s plug is connected all
the way in (p.170, 171).
Set the video OUT format (NTSC/PAL) to the same video format as
the TV (p.170).
Use the stereo AV cable that came wth he camera (p.170).
The voice memo cannot bplad.
Set [8C.Fn IV -9: Hfunction] to [2: Play memo (hold:
