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.
Do not block the mirror operation with your finger, etc. Doing so may cause a
malfunction.
Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, vfinder, reflex mirror, and
focusing screen. Do not use cleaners tontaiorganic solvents to clean
the camera body or lens. For stun dtake the camera to the nearest
Canon Service Center.
Do not touch the camera’electrintacts with your fingers. This is to
prevent the contacts from orroding. Corroded contacts can cause camera
misoperation.
If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room,
condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent
condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to
the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.
If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid
damaging the camera. If there is condensation, remove the lens, card and
battery from the camera, and wait until 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.
14
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 may be a few dead pixels
among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying only black
or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded.
If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur
where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only
temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days.
In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow or it
may 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. Alsavoid places prone to having
static electricity.
Do not leave the card in direct sunlr ner a heat source.
Store the card in a case.
Do not store the card in hot, or umid locations.
Lens
After detaching the lens fm the camera, attach the lens
caps and 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.

up (50%/80%/100%).
It takes approx. 130 min. for LP-E4N and approx. 120 min. for LP-
E4 to fully recharge a completely exhausted battery at 23°C/73°F.
The time required to recharge the battery will vary greatly
depending on the ambient temperature and the battery’s
remaining capacity.
The LC-E4N charger cannot charge any battery other than the Battery
Pack LP-E4N/LP-E4.
Depending on the battery’s condition, charge may not reach 100%.
30
Charging the Battery
Tips for Using the Battery and Charger
Upon purchase, the battery is not fully charged.
Recharge the battery before using.
Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be used.
Even during storage, a charged battery will gradually drain and lose its capacity.
After recharging the battery, detach it and disconnect the
charger from the power outlet.
When not using the battery and charger, attach the protective covers provided.
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 the battery.
If the battery is left in the camera for a proonged period, a small amount
of power current is released, resuin exess discharge and shorter
battery life. Store the batterthprotective cover attached. Storing
the battery when it is ully chmay lower the battery’s performance.
The battery chargecan 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 charger’s
<PERFORMANCE> button to check the battery’s performance level
indicated by the Charge level indicator.
(Green) : Battery’s recharge 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.360) and purchase a
new battery.
31
Charging the Battery
Use a 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. Disconnect the car battery cable from the cigarette lighter
socket when the car engine is off. 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 ratthe battery so that the correct
battery level is detected and thmera’s battery level indicator can
display the correct battey level. Calibration is not a required
operation. If you just want to recharge the battery, you can let the
battery start recharging automatically after approx. 10 sec. If you want
to perform calibration, press the <CALIBRATE> button while the
<CAL/CHARGE> lamp is blinking in red. The Charge level indicator
will blink in red and calibration (power discharge) will start.
After calibration is complete, the battery will start recharging
automatically. Note that the less depleted the battery is the longer
calibration will take. The <2h>, <4h>, and <10h> figures on the side of
the Charge level indicator indicate the approximate time it will take to
complete calibration (power discharge). If the <10h> indicator blinks in
red, it will take approx. 10 hours.
After calibration is complete and the battery is totally drained, it will
take a further 2 hours to recharge the battery fully. If you want to stop
calibration before it is completed and start recharging the battery,
remove the battery from the charger and attach it again.
32
Charging the Battery
None of the Charger’s Status Lamps Light Up
If the <CAL/CHARGE> lamp lights up but none of the status lamps
do, the battery’s internal temperature is outside the required 0°C -
40°C / 32°F - 104°F temperature range. The battery will start
recharging when the internal temperature is within 0°C - 40°C / 32°F
- 104°F.
All Three Charge Level Indicators Blink
If any of the following occurs, remove the battery from the charger
and consult your dealer or nearest Canon Service Center: All the
Charge level lamps blink in green, all the Calibration (Discharge)
status indicator lamps blink in red, or the indicators blink alternately
in red and green (including the <CAL/CHARGE> lamp).
Also, if a battery other than the Battery ack LP-E4N/LP-E4 is
attached to the charger, the indrs wl blink in red and green
(including the <CAL/CHA> lmp) and the battery cannot be
recharged.
The charger cannot charge any battery other than the Battery Pack LP-E4N/
LP-E4.
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.
It is best to perform battery calibration when the battery is nearly
exhausted. If you try to calibrate the battery while it is fully charged, it can
take as long as approx. 15 hours to calibrate and then fully charge the
battery.
33

focus again. Or see “When Autofocus Fails” (p.108).
If [z3: Beep] is set to [Disable], the beeper will not sound when focus
is achieved.
Focus Lock
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 convenient when
you want to focus a subject not covered by the Area AF frame.
67
2: Selecting the AF Mode
AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects
This AF mode is suited for moving
subjects when the focusing distance
keeps changing. While you hold down
the shutter button halfway, the
subject will be focused continuously.
The exposure is set at the moment
the picture is taken.
AF is also possible by pressing the
<p> button.
Focus Tracking with AI Servo AF
If the subject approaches or moves away from the camera at a constant
rate, the camera tracks the subject and predics the focusing distance
immediately before the picture is taken. This ifor obtaining correct
focus at the moment of exposure.
When the AF area selection mode to 1-point automatic selection (p.69),
the camera first uses the manuallyed AF point to focus. During
autofocusing, if the subject moves away from the manually-selected AF point,
focus tracking continues as long as the subject is covered by the Area AF frame.
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 up.
AF Status Indicator
When you press the shutter button
halfway and the camera is focusing with
AF, the <i> icon will appear on the
lower right of the viewfinder.
In the One-Shot AF mode, the icon also
appears after focus is achieved when
you press the shutter button halfway.
The AF status indicator can be displayed outside the viewfinder’s image
area (p.101).
68
S Selecting the AF Area
61 AF points are provided for AF. You can select the AF point(s) suiting
the scene or subject.
Depending on the lens attached to the camera, the number of
usable AF points and AF point patterns will differ. For details,

AF Point Display Indications
Pressing the <S> button lights up the AF points that are cross-type AF
points for high-precision autofocusing. The blinking AF points are
horizontal-line sensitive. For details, see page 75.
When you press the <S> button, the top LCD panel displays the following:
• 61-point automatic selection AF and Zone AF (manual selection of
zone):
AF
• Single-point Spot AF, Single-point AF, and AF point expansion:
SEL (Center)/SEL AF (Off-center)
With [25: Manual AF pt. selec. pattern], you can set either [Stops at
AF area edges] or [Continuous] (p.99).
71
AF Area Selection Modes
Single-point Spot AF (Manual selection)
Although this is the same as Single-point AF, the
selected AF point <O> covers a smaller area to
focus. Effective for pinpoint focusing of
overlapping subjects such as an animal in a cage.
Since Spot AF covers a very small area, focusing
may be difficult during hand-held shooting or for a
moving subject.
Single-point AF (Manual selection)
Select one AF point <S> to be used for focusing.
AF point expansion (Manulection
)
The manually-selected AF oint <S> and adjacent AF points <w>
(above, below, on the left and on the right) are used to focus. Effective
when it is difficult to track a moving subject with just one AF point.
With AI Servo AF, the manually-selected AF point <S> must focus-
track the subject first. However, it is easier to focus the target subject
than with Zone AF.
With One-Shot AF, when focus is achieved with an expanded AF point,
the expanded AF point <S> will also be displayed along with the
manually-selected AF point <S>.
72
AF Area Selection Modes
AF point expansion (Manual selection, surrounding points)
The manually-selected AF point <S> and adjacent AF points <w> are
used to focus. The AF point expansion is larger than with AF point
expansion (Manual selection ), so the focusing is executed over a
wider area. Effective when it is difficult to track a moving subject with
just one AF point.
AI Servo AF and One-Shot AF work in the same way as with AF point
expansion (Manual selection ) mode (p.72).
Zone AF (Manual selection of zone)
The 61 AF points are divided into nine zons for focusing. All the AF
points in the selected zone are useautomatically select the point of
focus. It makes achieving foceasthan with Single-point AF or AF
point expansion and it is effeor moving subjects.
However, since it is incned to us the nearest subject, focusing a
specific target is harder han with Single-point AF or AF point
expansion.
The AF point(s) achieving focus is displayed as <S>.
73
AF Area Selection Modes
61-point automatic selection AF
All the AF points are used to focus.
With One-Shot AF, pressing the shutter button
halfway will display the AF point(s) <S> that
achieved focus. If multiple AF points are displayed,
it means they all have achieved focus. This mode
tends to focus the nearest subject.
With AI Servo AF, the manually-selected (p.71) AF
point <S> is used first to achieve focus. The AF
point(s) achieving focus is displayed as <S>.
With 61-point automatic selecAF Zone AF, the active AF point
<S> will keep switching to trsubject in AI Servo AF mode.
However, under certaishootinditions (such as when the subject is
small), it may not be abto tack the subject. Also, in low temperatures,
the tracking response is slower.
With Single-point Spot AF, focusing with the Speedlite’s AF-assist beam
may be difficult.
If the camera cannot focus with the EOS-dedicated Speedlite’s AF-assist
beam, set the AF area selection mode to Single-point AF (Manual
selection) and select the center AF point to focus.
When the AF point(s) lights up, part or all of the viewfinder may light up in
red. This is a characteristic of AF point display (using liquid crystal).
In low temperatures, the AF point’s blinking (p.71) may be difficult to see.
This is a characteristic of AF point display (using liquid crystal).
If you set [24: Orientation linked AF point] to [
Select separate
AF points], you can set the AF area selection mode and manually-
selected AF point (or Zone) separately for vertical and horizontal
shooting (p.98).
With [24: Selectable AF point], you can change the number of
manually selectable AF points (p.96).

About the AF Sensor
The camera’s AF sensor has 61 AF points. The illustration below shows
the AF sensor pattern corresponding to each AF point. With f/2.8 or
larger maximum aperture lenses, high-precision AF is possible at the
viewfinder center.
Depending on the lens attached to the camera, the number of
usable AF points and AF pattern will differ. For details, see pages
76 to 81.

These focusing sensors are geared to achieve higher
precision focusing with f/2.8 or larger maximum aperture
lenses. A diagonal cross pattern makes it easier to focus
subjects that may be difficult to focus. They cover the five
vertical AF points at the center.
These focusing sensors are geared to achieve high-
precision focusing with f/4 or larger maximum aperture
lenses. Since they have a horizontal pattern, they can
detect vertical lines.
These focusing sensors are geared for f/5.6 or larger
maximum aperture lenses. Since they have a horizontal
pattern, they can detect vertical lines. They cover the three
columns of AF points at the viewfinder’s center.
These focusing sensors are geared for f/5.6 or larger
maximum aperture lenses. They can detect horizontal lines
and cover all 61 AF points in a vertical pattern.
75
Lenses and Usable AF Points
Although the camera has 61 AF points, the number of usable AF
points and focusing patterns will differ depending on the lens. The
lenses are thereby classified into eight groups from A to H. Check
which group your lens belongs to.
When using a lens from groups F to H, fewer AF points will be usable.
When you press the <S> button, the AF points indicated by the mark
will blink. (The AF points will stay lit.)
“Extender EF1.4x” and “Extender EF2x” apply to all the I/II/III models.

About the Parameters
Tracking sensitivity
Sets the subject-tracking sensitivity
during AI Servo AF when an obstacle
enters the AF points or when the AF
points stray from the subject.
[0]
Standard setting suited for most moving subjects.
[Locked on: -2 / Locked on: -1]
The camera will try to continue focusing the subject even if an
obstacle enters the AF points or if the sbject strays from the AF
points. The -2 setting makes the era rack the target subject
longer than with the -1 sett
However, if the camera foche wrong subject, it may take slightly
longer to switch subjcts and refocus the target subject.
[Responsive: +2 / Responsive:+1]
Once an AF point tracks a subject, the camera can focus consecutive
subjects at different distances. Also effective when you want to
always focus on the closest subject. The +2 setting makes it quicker
to focus the next consecutive subject than with +1.
However, the camera will be more prone to focus on the wrong
subject.
[Tracking sensitivity] is the parameter named [AI Servo tracking
sensitivity] in the EOS-1D Mark III/IV, EOS-1Ds Mark III, and EOS 7D.
87
3 Selecting AI Servo AF Characteristics (For a Subject)
Acceleration/deceleration tracking
This sets the tracking sensitivity for
moving subjects whose speed can
suddenly change dramatically by starting
or stopping suddenly, etc.
[0]
Suited for subjects that move at a fixed speed.
[+2 / +1]
Effective for subjects having sudden movements, sudden
acceleration/deceleration, or sudden stops. Even if the moving
subject’s speed suddenly changes dramatially, the camera
continues to focus the target subject. For eample, for an
approaching subject, the camera bes less prone to focus
behind it, which would result ilurd subject. For a subject
stopping suddenly, the camermes less prone to focus in front
of it. Setting +2 can tracdramatic changes in the moving subject’s
speed better than with +1
However, since the camera will be sensitive to even slight
movements of the subject, the focusing may be unstable
momentarily.
88

AF point auto switching
This sets the switching sensitivity of the
AF points as they track a subject that
moves dramatically up, down, left, or
right.
This setting takes effect in the following

expansion (Manual selection
), AF
point expansion (Manual selection,
surrounding points), Zone AF (Manual

[0]
Standard setting for gradual AF point swtching.
[+2 / +1]
Even if the target subject moves matically up, down, left, or right
and moves away from the intthe AF point switches to another
one to continue focuing the ject. The camera switches to the AF
point deemed most liely to focus the subject based on the subject’s
continual movement, contrast, etc. Setting +2 makes the camera
more prone to switch the AF point than with +1.
However, with a wide-angle lens having a wide depth of field or if the
subject is too small in the frame, the camera may focus with the
wrong AF point.

Auto AF point selection: EOS iTR AF
When the AF area selection mode is set to 61-point automatic selection
AF or Zone AF, AF is possible while using the subject’s color or face
detection information.
Using this function makes it easier to continue focusing a moving
subject with AI Servo AF. Using this function also makes it easier to
focus human subjects in One-Shot AF mode.
ON: Enable
The AF point is automatically selected
based on the AF information combined
with the color and facial information of
the subject. With AI Servo AF, the color
of thea where focus is initially
chied is recorded.
The camera then tracks that by witching AF points. If a human
face is detected, the Atrackind AF point switching switch to this
face. With 61-point automatiselection AF and AI Servo AF, you can
manually select the initial AF point to be used to focus. If multiple faces
are detected, the camera focuses using the AF point on the optimum
face given current conditions.
With One-Shot AF, the camera selects the AF point based on face position
information, and you can give priority to composition when taking the picture.
OFF: Disable
The AF point is selected automatically based only on the AF information.
When [Auto AF pt sel: EOS iTR AF] is set to [Enable], focus will take
slightly longer than with [Disable].
Even if you set [Enable], the desired result may not be obtained
depending on the shooting conditions and subject.
Under low-light conditions when the flash emits the AF-assist beam
automatically, the AF point is selected automatically based only on the
AF information. (The AF does not use facial information.)
Face detection may not work if the face is small or in low-light condition.

3 Customizing AF Functions
Lens drive when AF impossible
If focus cannot be achieved with autofocus, you can have the camera
keep searching for the correct focus or have it stop searching.
ON: Continue focus search
If focus cannot be achieved with
autofocus, the lens is driven to search for
the correct focus.
OFF: Stop focus search
If autofocus starts and the focus is far off
or if focus cannot be achieved, the lens
drive stops. This prevents the lens from
becoming grossly out of focus due to
focus searching.
Super telephoto lenses can become groout f focus during continuous
focus search, taking more time to achiecus the next time. Therefore,
setting [Stop focus search] is reened for super telephoto lenses.

Fine Adjustment of AF’s Point of Focus
Fine adjustment of the AF’s point of focus is possible for viewfinder
shooting and in Live View shooting’s [Quick mode]. This is called “AF
Microadjustment”. Before making the adjustment, read “Notes for AF
Microadjustment” on page 107.
Normally, this adjustment is not required. Do this adjustment
only if necessary. Note that performing AF Microadjustment
may prevent correct focusing from being achieved.
Adjust All by Same Amount
Set the adjustment value manually by adjusting, shooting, and checking
the result. Repeat this until the desired adjustment is made. During AF,
regardless of the lens used, the point of focus will always be shifted by
the adjustment amount.
Select [AF Mcroadjustment].

You can perform AF Microadjustment for each lens and register the
adjustment in the camera. You can register the adjustment for up to 40
lenses. When you autofocus with a lens whose adjustment has been
registered, the point of focus will always be shifted by the adjustment
amount
.
Set the adjustment manually by adjusting, shooting, and checking the
result. Repeat this until the desired adjustment is made. If you use a zoom
lens, make the adjustment for the wide-angle (W) and telephoto (T) ends.

3 Fine Adjustment of AF’s Point of Focus
Clearing All AF Microadjustment data
When [ Clear all] appears at the bottom of the screen, pressing the
<L> button will clear all the adjustment data set for [All by same
amount] and [Adjust by lens].
Notes for AF Microadjustmen
The AF’s point of fous wl vary slightly depending on the subject
conditions, brightness, zoom position, and other shooting conditions.
Therefore, even if you perform AF Microadjustment, focus may still not
be achieved at the suitable position.
The adjustment data will be retained even if you clear all the camera
settings (p.58). However, the setting itself will be [Disable].
It is best to make the adjustment at the actual location where you will
shoot. This will make the adjustment more precise.
Using a tripod when making the adjustment is recommended.
To check the result of the adjustment, setting the image size to JPEG L
(Large) and the JPEG quality (compression) to 8 or higher is
recommended.
The adjustment amount of one step varies depending on the maximum
aperture of the lens. Keep adjusting, shooting, and checking the focus
repeatedly to adjust the AF’s point of focus.
AF adjustment is not possible for Live View shooting’s [Live mode] and
[uLive mode] (contrast AF).
107
When Autofocus Fails
Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (the viewfinder’s focus confirmation
light <o> blinks) with certain subjects such as the following:
Subjects difficult to focus
Very low-contrast subjects
(Example: Blue sky, solid-color walls, etc.)
Subjects in very low light
Extremely backlit or reflective subjects
(Example: Car with a highly reflective body, etc.)
Near and far subjects covered by an AF point
(Example: Animal in a cage, etc.)
Repetitive patterns
(Example: Skyscraper windows, computer keyboards, etc.)
In such cases, do either of the following:
(1) With One-Shot AF, focus on an object at te same distance as the
subject and lock the focus before rmposng (p.67).
(2) Set the lens focus mode switco <> and focus manually (p.109).
For conditions where AF can fail to achieve focus with [Live mode]/[uLive
mode] during Live View shooting, see page 213.

The file size, possible shots, and maximum burst during continuous shooting
are based on Canon’s 8 GB 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 7, 128 GB card
based on Canon’s testing standards.
120
Setting the Image-Recording Quality
If you select both RAW and JPEG, the same image will be recorded
simultaneously to the card in both RAW and JPEG at the image-
recording quality that was set. The two images will be recorded with the
same file number (file extension .JPG for JPEG and .CR2 for RAW).
In accordance with the selected image size, the <p> or <1> icon will
be displayed on the right side in the viewfinder.
The image size icons indicate the following: 1 (RAW), 41 (Medium
RAW), 61 (Small RAW), JPEG, 3 (Large), H (Medium 1), 5
(Medium 2), 6 (Small).
About RAW
A RAW image is raw data output by the image sensor converted to
digital data. The image data is recorded to the card as is, and you can
select the quality as follows: 1, 41, r 61.
A 1 image can be processed wi32: RAW image processing]
(p.286) and saved as a JPEG age41 and 61 images cannot
be processed with the camerile the RAW image itself does not
change, you can proces the Rimage according to different
processing conditions to crete any number of JPEG images from it.
With all RAW images, you can use Digital Photo Professional (provided
software, p.410) to make various adjustments and then generate a
JPEG, TIFF, etc., image incorporating those adjustments.
Commercially-available software may not be able to display RAW images.
Using the provided software is recommended.
121
Setting the Image-Recording Quality
One-touch Image Quality Setting
Custom Controls let you assign image-recording quality to the <B>
button, Multi-function button 2, or depth-of-field preview button with
[One-touch image quality setting], so that you can temporarily switch
image quality settings at the touch of a button before shooting.
For details, see Custom Controls (p.333).
If [51: Record func+card/folder sel.] is set to [Rec. separately], you
cannot switch to the One-touch image quality setting.
Maximum Burst During Continuous Shooting
The number of shots for the maximum burst is displayed
on the right in the viewfinder. If the maximum burst for
continuous shooting is 99 highr, “99” will be displayed.
The maximum burst is displayed even when a card is not inserted in the
camera. Make sure that a card is inserted before taking a picture.
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 in the viewfinder and on the top LCD panel. Shooting will then
be disabled temporarily. If you stop 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 120.
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 120 will apply.

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.
Shooting long exposures at high ISO speeds may result in irregular
colors in the image.
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.
124
i: Setting the ISO Speed
As H1 (equivalent to ISO 102400) and H2 (equivalent to ISO 204800) are
expanded ISO speed settings, noise (such as dots of light and banding) and
irregular colors will be more noticeable, and the resolution will be lower than usual.
If you use a high ISO speed and flash to shoot a close subject, overexposure may result.
If [ISO speed range] is set to [Maximum: 51200] and you shoot a movie
while ISO 32000/40000/51200 is set, the ISO speed will switch to ISO 25600
(during manual-exposure movie shooting). Even if you switch to still photo

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 set the white balance under [z1: White balance].
To set a Personal WB, select [PC-*]. Refer to the EOS Utility Instruction
Manual for the procedure to register a Personal WB.
137
O Custom White Balance
Custom white balance enables you to manually set the white balance
for a specific light source for better accuracy. Perform this procedure
under the actual light source to be used.
Up to five sets of Custom white balance data can be registered to the
camera. You can also append a name (caption) to the registered
Custom white balance data.
3 Registering Custom WB
There are two ways to register Custom white balance data. You can either
take a picture and register it, or register an image already saved in the card.

4. Follow step 4 above to photograph a solid-white object.
→ The Custom WB data will be registered under the selected number.
When a picture is taken, the registered Custom white balance will be
applied.
If the exposure of the picture differs greatly from the standard exposure,
a correct white balance might not be obtained. If [Correct WB may not
be obtained with the selected image] is displayed in step 4, go back to
step 1 and try again.
The image captured in step 4 will not be recorded to the card.
Instead of a white object, an 18% gray card can produce a more
accurate white balance.

White Balance Auto Bracketing
With just one shot, three images having a different color balance can be
recorded simultaneously. Based on the color temperature of the current white
balance setting, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bias or
magenta/green bias. This is called white balance bracketing (WB-BKT). White
balance bracketing is possible up to ±3 levels in single-level increments.
Set the white balance bracketing amount.
In step 2 for white balance correction,

white balance, 2. Magenta (M) bias, and 3. Green (G) bias.
During WB bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will
be lower and the number of possible shots will also decrease to approx.
one-third the normal number.
You can also set white balance correction and AEB together with white
balance bracketing. If you set AEB in combination with white balance
bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded for a single shot.
Since three images are recorded for one shot, the card will take longer to
record the shot.
When white balance bracketing is set, the white balance icon will blink.
You can change the number of shots for white balance bracketing (p.321).
“BKT” stands for bracketing.

3 Lens Peripheral Illumination / Chromatic Aberration Correction
About the Lens Correction Data
The camera already contains lens peripheral illumination correction
data and chromatic aberration correction data for approx. 25 lenses. If
you select [Enable], the peripheral illumination correction and
chromatic aberration correction will be applied automatically for any
lens whose correction data is registered in the camera.
With EOS Utility (provided software), you can check which lenses have
their correction data registered in the camera. You can also register the
correction data for unregistered lenses. For details, refer to the
Software Instruction Manual (CD-ROM) for EOS Utility (p.412).
Notes for Peripheral Illmination Correction and Chromatic Aberration
Correction
Corrections cannot be applied afterwards to JPEG images captured
when [Disable] was set.
When using a non-Canon lens, setting the corrections to [Disable] is
recommended, even if [Correction data available] is displayed.
If you use the magnified view during Live View shooting, the peripheral
illumination correction and chromatic aberration correction will not be
reflected in the image.
If the effect of the correction is not so visible, magnify the image and
check it.
The corrections are also applied when an Extender is attached.
If the correction data for the attached lens is not registered to the
camera, the result will be the same as when the correction is set to
[Disable].
If the lens does not have distance information, the correction amount will
be lower.

About Folders
As with “100EOS1D” 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.159) is executed, a new folder will be created
automatically. Folders numbered from 100 to 999 can be created.
Creating Folders with a Personal Computer
With the card open on the screen, create a new folder named “DCIM”. Open
the DCIM folder and create as many folders as necessary to save and
organize your images. The folder name must follow the format “100ABC_D”.
The first three digits are the folder number, from 100 to 999. The final five
characters can be any combination of upper- and lower-case letters from A to
Z, numerals, and the underscore “_”. The space cannot be used. Also note
that two folder names cannot share the same three-digit folder number (for
example, “100ABC_D” and “100W_XYZ”), even if the other five characters in
each name are different.
155
3 Changing the File Name
The file name has four alphanumeric characters
followed by a four-digit image number (p.158) and
extension. The first four alphanumeric characters
are set upon factory shipment and unique to the
camera. However, you can change them.
(Ex.) BE3B0001.JPG
With “User setting1”, you can change and register the four characters
as desired. With “User setting2”, if you register three characters, the
fourth character from the left will be appended automatically to indicate
the image size.

About User setting2
When you select the “*** + image size” registered with User setting2 and
take pictures, a character that indicates image-recording quality will be
automatically appended as the file name’s fourth character from the left. The
meaning of the image size characters is as follows:
“*** L” = 3, 1
“***M” = H, 41
“*** N” = 5
“***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. RAW or JPEG images 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 “_”.
157
3 File Numbering Methods
The four-digit file number is like the frame
number on a roll of film. The captured images
are assigned a sequential file number from
0001 to 9999 and saved in one folder. You can
change how the file number is assigned.
(Ex.) BE3B0001.JPG
Select [File numbering].
Under the [51] tab, select [File
1
numbering], then press <0>.
Select the file numbering method.
Turn the <5> dial to select the
2
desired setting, then press <0>.
Continuous
Continues the file numbering sequeven after the card is
replaced or a new folder is cred.
Even after you replace the card, e a folder, or switch the target
card (such as f → g), te file nubering continues in sequence up
to 9999 for the images saved. Tis is convenient when you want to save
images numbered anywhere between 0001 to 9999 in multiple cards or
folders into one folder in your personal computer.
If the replacement card or existing folder already contains images
recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images may continue
from the file numbering of the existing images in the card or folder. If
you want to use continuous file numbering, you should use a newly-
formatted card each time.

When you replace the card, create a folder, or switch the target card
(such as f → g), the file numbering restarts from 0001 for the new
images saved. This is convenient if you want to organize images
according to cards or folders.
However, if the replacement card or existing folder already contains
images recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images may
continue from the file numbering of the existing images in the card or
folder. If you want to save images with the file numbering starting from
0001, use a newly formatted card each time.

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.
(There will be no Manual reset confirmation screen.)
If the file number reaches 9999 in folder 999, shooting will not be possible even
if the card still has storage capacity. A message explaining the need to replace
the card will appear on the LCD monitor. Replace the card with a new one.

3 Setting the Color Space
The range of reproducible colors is called the color space. With this
camera, the color space for captured images can be set to sRGB or
Adobe RGB. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended.
Select [Color space].
1
Under the [z1] tab, select [Color
space], then press <0>.
Set the desired color space.
2
Select [sRGB] or [Adobe RGB], then

About Adobe RGB
This color space is mainly used mercial printing and other
industrial uses. This setting is nommended if you do not know
about image processing, Adobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File
System 2.0 (Exif 2.21 or higher). The image will look very subdued in a
sRGB personal computer environment and with printers not compatible
with Design rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21 or higher). 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 “_”.
The ICC profile is not appended. Refer to explanations about the ICC
profile in the Software Instruction Manual (p.412) on the CD-ROM.

2 Mirror Lockup
In very bright light such as at the beach or a ski slope on a sunny day,
take the picture promptly after mirror lockup.
Do not point the camera toward the sun. The sun’s heat can scorch and
damage the shutter curtains.
If you use the self-timer and mirror lockup in combination with bulb
exposure, keep pressing the shutter button completely (self-timer delay
time + bulb exposure time). If you let go of the shutter button during the
self-timer countdown, there will be a shutter-release sound, but no
picture will be taken.
During mirror lockup, shooting function settings and menu operations,
etc. are disabled.
When [Enable] is set, single shooting will take effect even if the drive
mode is set to continuous. When [Enable: Mirror down w/s] is set,
the current drive mode will take effect for the shooting.
You can also use the self-timer with mirror kup.
If 30 seconds elapse after the mirrolockeup, it will go back down
automatically. Pressing the shbun completely again locks up the
mirror again.
For mirror lockup shoong, usiripod and Remote Switch RS-80N3

Wireless functions
Wireless (multiple) flash shooting is
possible with radio or optical
transmission. For details on wireless
flash, refer to the Speedlite’s instruction
manual.
Flash zoom (Flash coverage)
With Speedlites having a zooming flash
head, you can set the flash coverage.
Normally, set this to [AUTO] so that the
camera will automatically set the flash
coverage to match the lens focal length.
Shutter synchronization
Nallyset this to [First-curtain
sonization] so that the flash fires
immediately after the exposure starts.
If [Second-curtain synchronization] is set, the flash will fire right
before the shutter closes. When this is combined with a slow shutter
speed, you can create a trail of light such as from car headlights at
night. With Second-curtain synchronization, two flashes will be fired:
Once when you press the shutter button completely, and once
immediately before the exposure ends.
If [High-speed synchronization] is set, the flash can be used at all
shutter speeds. This is especially effective for portraits using fill flash
when you want to give priority to the aperture setting.

3 Setting the Flash
Flash exposure compensation
The same setting as “Flash exposure
compensation” on page 190 can be set.
For details, refer to the Speedlite’s
instruction manual.
Flash exposure bracketing
While the flash output is changed
automatically, three shots are taken.
For details on FEB (Flash Exposure
Bracketing), refer to the Speedlite’s
instruction manual.
When using second-curtain synchronization, set the shutter speed to 1/25
sec. or slower. If the shutter speed is 1/30 sec. or faster, first-curtain
synchronization will be applied even if [Second-curtain synchronization]
is set.
By selecting [Clear flash settings], you can revert the flash settings to
their defaults.
With an EX-series Speedlite not compatible with flash function settings,
you can only set the following: [Flash firing], [E-TTL II meter.], and

Live View Shooting Cautions
Image Quality
When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (such as dots of light and
banding) may become noticeable.
Shooting in high temperatures may cause noise and irregular colors in the image.
If Live View shooting is used continuously for a long period, the camera’s
internal temperature may rise, degrading image quality. Stop Live View
shooting when not shooting images.
If you shoot a long exposure while the camera’s internal temperature is
high, image quality may be degraded. Stop Live View shooting and wait
a few minutes before shooting again.
White <s> and Red <E> Internal Temperature Warning
If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged Live
View shooting or a high ambient temperature, a white icon <s> will
appear. If you continue shooting while thicon is displayed, the image
quality may be degraded. It is recommeed to temporarily exit Live
View shooting and allow the camo coodown before shooting again.
If the camera’s internal temre fther increases while the white icon
> is displayed, a red icowilstart blinking. This blinking icon is a
<s
warning that the Live View shog will soon end automatically. If this
happens, you will not e abe to shoot again until the camera’s internal
temperature decreases. Turn off the power and let the camera rest for a while.
Using Live View shooting at a high temperature for a prolonged period
will cause the <s> and <E> icons to appear earlier. When you are not
shooting, turn off the camera.
If the camera’s internal temperature is high, the image quality of high ISO
speed images or long exposures may be degraded even before the
white icon <s> is displayed.
Shooting Result
If you take the picture in magnified view, the exposure may not come out as
desired. Return to the normal view before taking the picture. In magnified view,
the shutter speed and aperture will be displayed in orange. Even if you take the
picture in magnified view, the image will be captured in the normal view.
If [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.146) is not set to [Disable], the
image may look bright even if a decreased exposure compensation or
decreased flash exposure compensation was set.
If you use a TS-E lens to shift the lens vertically or use an Extension Tube, the
standard exposure may not be obtained or an irregular exposure may result.
217
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.
If the light source within the image changes, the screen may flicker. If this
happens, exit Live View shooting and resume shooting under the actual
light source to be used.
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 picture, 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 recordethe captured image.
When you magnify the image, the isharness may look more
pronounced than it really is.
Custom Functions
During Live View shoong, certaiCustom Function settings will not take
effect (p.318).
Lens and Flash
The focus preset function is possible during Live View shooting only
when using a (super) telephoto lens equipped with the focus preset
mode marketed since the second half of 2011.
FE lock and modeling flash will not work if an external Speedlite is used.

or noise at high ISO speeds may be recorded.
When shooting a movie of a moving subject, a shutter speed of 1/30 sec.
to 1/125 sec. is recommended. The faster the shutter speed, the less
smooth the subject’s movement will look.
If you change the shutter speed while shooting under fluorescent or LED
lighting, image flicker may be recorded.
If ISO Auto is set, you can press the <A> button to lock the ISO speed.
When you press the <A> button and then recompose the picture, you
can see the exposure level difference on the exposure level indicator
(p.25, 227) compared to when you first press the <A> button.
By pressing the <B> button, you can display the histogram.

Notes on Movie Shooting
The camera cannot autofocus continuously like a camcorder.
Autofocusing during movie shooting may momentarily throw the focus far
off or change the exposure.
When you autofocus during movie shooting under low-light conditions
using a USM lens, horizontal stripes (noise) may be recorded. Note that
with certain lenses equipped with the electronic focusing ring, similar
noise may be recorded even with manual focusing (MF).
During movie shooting, do not point the lens toward the sun. The sun’s
heat can damage the camera’s internal components.
Under [51: Record func+card/folder sel.], even if [Record func.] is set
to [Rec. to multiple] (p.114), the movie cannot be recorded to both Card
1 <f> and Card 2 <g>. If [Rec. separately] or [Rec. to multiple] is
set, the movie will be recorded to the card which is set for [Playback].
If <Q> is set and the ISO speed or aperture changes during movie
shooting, the white balance may also change
If you shoot a movie under fluorescer LED lighting, the movie may
flicker.
Zooming the lens during movotinis not recommended. Zooming
the lens can cause changes in xposure regardless of whether the
lens’ maximum aperturchanges or not. Exposure changes may be
recorded as a result.
Cautions for movie shooting are on pages 243 and 244.
If necessary, also read the Live View shooting cautions on pages
217 and 218.
Movie-related settings are under the [z4] and [z5] tabs (p.241).
A movie file is recorded each time you shoot a movie. If the file size
exceeds 4 GB, a new file will be created.
The movie image’s field of view is approx. 100% (with movie recording
size set to [A]).
You can also focus the image by pressing the <p> button.
To focus during movie shooting, press the <p> button. You cannot
focus by pressing the shutter button.

k Shooting Movies
Notes on Movie Shooting
Under [z5: Movie shoot. btn], if [V/o] is selected, you can press
the shutter button completely to start or stop the movie shooting (p.242).
Monaural sound is recorded by the camera’s built-in microphone (p.221).
By connecting a stereo microphone (commercially available) equipped
with a 3.5 mm mini plug to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal
(p.21), stereo sound recording is possible.
With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E4N, the total movie shooting time
will be as follows: approx. 2 hr. 10 min. at room temperature (23°C/73°F),
and approx. 2 hr. at low temperatures (0°C/32°F).
When using a (super) telephoto lens equipped with the power focus
mode marketed since the second half of 2011, power focusing is
possible during movie shooting.

Movie Shooting Cautions
White <s> and Red <E> Internal Temperature Warning Icons
If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged movie
shooting or a high ambient temperature, a white icon <s> will appear.
Even if you shoot a movie while this icon is displayed, the movie’s image
quality will hardly be affected. However, if you shoot still photos, the
image quality of the still photos may degrade. You should stop shooting
still photos for a while and allow the camera to cool down.
If the camera’s internal temperature further increases while the white
icon <s> is displayed, a red icon <E> may start blinking. This blinking
icon is a warning that movie shooting will soon stop automatically. If this
happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the camera’s internal
temperature decreases. Turn off the power and let the camera rest for a
while.
Shooting a movie at a high temperature for a prolonged period will cause
the <s> and <E> icons to appear eali. When you are not shooting,
turn off the camera.
Recording and Image Quality
If the attached lens has aStabilizer, the Image Stabilizer will
operate at all times even if yo not press the shutter button halfway.
The Image Stabilizeconumes battery power and may shorten the total
movie shooting time or decrease the number of possible shots. If you
use a tripod or if the Image Stabilizer is not necessary, you should set the
IS switch to <2>.
The camera’s built-in microphone will also pick up camera operation
noise. Using a commercially-available external microphone can prevent
(or reduce) these noises from being recorded.
Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the
camera’s external microphone IN terminal.
If there is a very bright light source in the picture, the bright area may
appear black on the LCD monitor. In movies, the bright areas will be
recorded in almost the same way you see it on the LCD monitor.
In low light, noise or irregular colors may appear in the image. In movies,
the bright areas will be recorded in almost the same way you see it on
the LCD monitor.
243
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.
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.
Still Photo Shooting During Movie Shooting
Regarding the image quality of still photos, see “Image Quality” on page
217.
Playback and TV Connection
In autoexposure shooting, shuttr-priAE, or aperture-priority AE
modes, if the brightness chanrinmovie shooting, the movie may
freeze temporarily. In sch casoot movies with manual exposure.
If you connect the camra to a TV set (p.269, 272) and shoot a movie,
the TV will not output any sound during the shooting. However, the
sound will be properly recorded.

Sensor Cleaning
The camera has a Self Cleaning Sensor Unit attached
to the image sensor’s front layeow-pass filter) to
shake off dust automatica
The Dust Delete Datcan also be appended to the
image so that the dust spots remaining can be erased
automatically by Digital Photo Professional (provided
software, p.410).
About smudges adhering to the front of the sensor
Besides dust entering the camera from outside, in rare cases
lubricant from the camera’s internal parts may adhere to the front of
the sensor. If visible spots still remain after the automatic sensor
cleaning, having the sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is
recommended.
Even while the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit is operating, you can
press the shutter button halfway to interrupt the cleaning and start
shooting immediately.
293
f Automatic Sensor Cleaning
Whenever you set the power switch to <1/R> or <2>, the
Self Cleaning Sensor Unit operates to automatically shake off the dust
on the front of the sensor. Normally, you need not pay attention to this
operation. However, you can select to perform sensor cleaning at any
time, or disable it.

3 Appending Dust Delete Data
Normally, the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit will eliminate most of the dust
that may be visible on captured images. However, in case visible dust
still remains, you can append the Dust Delete Data to the image for
erasing the dust spots later. The Dust Delete Data is used by Digital
Photo Professional (provided software, p.410) to erase the dust spots
automatically.
Preparation
Prepare a solid white object such as a sheet of paper.
Set the lens focal length to 50 mm or longer.
Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF> and set the focus to infinity
(∞). If the lens has no distance scale, look at the front of the lens and

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.
For details about using Digital Photo Professional (provided software,
p.410) to erase dust spots, refer to the Software Instruction Manual
(p.412) on the Software Instruction Manual CD-ROM.
The Dust Delete Data appended to the image is so small that it hardly
affects the image file size.
Be sure to use a solid-white object such as a new sheet of white paper. If the
paper has any pattern or design, it may be recognized as dust data and
affect the accuracy of the dust deletion with the software.

3 Manual Sensor Cleaning
Dust that could not be removed by the automatic sensor cleaning can
be removed manually with a blower, etc. Before cleaning the sensor,
detach the lens from the camera.

3 Manual Sensor Cleaning
While cleaning the sensor, never do any of the following. Doing any
of the following will cut off the power and close the shutter. The
shutter curtains and image sensor may then 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 cut off, the shutter will close and the shutter curtains or
reflex mirror may get damaged.
Never use canned air or gas to clean the sensor. The blowing force can
damage the sensor or the spray gas can freeze on the sensor.
If the battery level becomes low while you clean the sensor, the beeper
will sound as a warning. Stop cleaning the sesor.
If a smudge that cannot be removed h a blwer remains, having the
sensor cleaned by a Canon Service er is rcommended.

Troubleshooting Guide
If a problem occurs with the camera, first refer to this Troubleshooting
Guide. If this Troubleshooting Guide does not resolve the problem,
contact your dealer or nearest Canon Service Center.
Power-Related Problems
The battery pack does not recharge.
Do not recharge any battery pack other than a genuine Canon Battery
Pack LP-E4N or LP-E4.
The battery charger’s <CAL/CHARGE> lamp blinks in red, no
Charge level lamp is lit, or all three Charge level lamps are blinking.
See pages 32 and 33. If you are recharging attery Pack LP-E4N with
Battery Charger LC-E4 and all three Chargvel lamps blink in green,
use the charger to check the battery ’s recharge performance (p.31).
• If a Charge level lamp lightyocan keep using the battery pack.
However, if the battery packharge performance is low, replacing
the battery pack with a new one is recommended.
• If no Charge level lamps lght up, the battery pack is faulty. Remove
the battery pack from the charger and consult your dealer or nearest
Canon Service Center.
The camera does not operate even when the power switch is
set to <1>.
Make sure the battery is properly installed in the camera (p.34).
Make sure the card slot cover is closed (p.35).
Recharge the battery (p.30).
The access lamp still blinks even when the power switch is
set to <2>.
If the power is turned off while an image is being recorded to the card, the
access lamp will remain on/continue to blink for a few seconds. When the
image recording is completed, the power will turn off automatically.
372
Troubleshooting Guide
The battery becomes exhausted quickly.
Use a fully-charged battery pack (p.30).
The battery performance may have degraded. See [53: Battery info.]
to check the battery’s recharge performance level (p.360). If the
battery performance is poor, replace the battery pack 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.
• Often activating only the AF without taking a picture.
• Using the lens’ Image Stabilizer.
• Using the LCD monitor often.
• Continuing Live View shooting or movie shooting for a prolonged
period.
The camera turns off by itself.
Auto power off is in effecu do not want auto power off to take
effect, set [52: Auo powef] to [Disable] (p.57).
Even if [52: Auto poweoff] is set to [Disable], the LCD monitor will
still turn off after the camera is left idle for 30 min. (The camera’s
power does not turn off.)
Shooting-Related Problems
The lens cannot be attached.
The camera cannot be used with EF-S lenses (p.43).
The viewfinder is dark.
Install a recharged battery pack in the camera (p.34).
373
Troubleshooting Guide
No images can be shot or recorded.
Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.35).
If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to
make room (p.35, 280).
If you try to focus in the One-Shot AF mode while the focus
confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder blinks, a picture cannot be
taken. Press the shutter button halfway again to refocus automatically,
or focus manually (p.46, 109).
The card cannot be used.
If a card error message is displayed, see page 37 or 388.
An error message is displayed when the card is inserted in
another camera.
Cards with capacities greaten 18 GB are formatted in exFAT.
This means that if you formad with a capacity over 128 GB with
this camera and then nsert it inanother camera, an error may be
displayed and it may nobe possible to use the card.
The image is out of focus.
Set the lens focus mode switch to <AF> (p.43).
To prevent camera shake, press the shutter button gently (p.45, 46).
If the lens has an Image Stabilizer, set the IS switch to <1>.
In low light, the shutter speed may become slow. Use a faster shutter
speed (p.167), set a higher ISO speed (p.124), use flash (p.189), or
use a tripod.
374
Troubleshooting Guide
There are fewer AF points.
Depending on the attached lens, the number of usable AF points and
patterns will differ. The lenses are categorized into eight groups from A
to H. Check which group your lens belongs to. Using a lens in Groups
F to H will have fewer usable AF points (p.76).
The AF points are blinking.
When you press the <S> button, the blinking AF points are those that
are not cross-type AF points and are only horizontal line-sensitive. The
AF points that light up are cross-type AF points (p.71).
The AF point at the registered area is blinking (p.338).
I cannot lock the focus and recompose the shot.
Set the AF mode to One-Shot ote hat focus lock will not work in
the AI Servo AF mode (p.6).
The continuous shooting ed slows down.
At the <o> setting, the maximum continuous speed will be approx.
10 shots/sec. if the ISO speed is set to any of the following:
• ISO 32000 or higher is set manually.
• [Auto ISO range]’s [Maximum] is set to [51200] and Auto ISO
automatically sets ISO 32000 or higher.
• [81: Safety shift] is set to [ISO speed] and the safety shift
automatically sets ISO 32000 or higher.
Note that if the camera’s internal temperature is low, and when ISO
20000 or higher is set manually or automatically, the maximum
continuous shooting speed for <o> will be approx. 10 fps.
Depending on the ISO speed, shutter speed, aperture, subject
conditions, brightness, lens type, etc., the continuous shooting speed
may become slower.
If [Auto AF pt sel.: EOS iTR AF] is set to [Enable] (p.95) and you
shoot under low light, the continuous shooting speed will decrease.
375
Troubleshooting Guide
The maximum burst during continuous shooting is lower.
If you shoot something that has fine detail (such as a field of grass),
the file size will be larger and the actual maximum burst may be lower
than the number mentioned on page 120.
ISO 100 cannot be set/ISO speed expansion cannot be
selected.
If [z2: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable], the settable ISO
speed range will be ISO 200 - 51200 (ISO 200 - 25600 for movie shooting).
Even if you expand the settable ISO speed range in [ISO speed range],
you cannot set expanded ISO speeds (L, H, H1, or H2). If [z2: Highlight
tone priority] is set to [Disable], ISO 100/125/160 can be set (p.150).
The Auto Lighting Optimizer cannot be et.
If [z2: Highlight tone priori] is to [Enable], the Auto Lighting
Optimizer cannot be set. If [iglight tone priority] is set to
[Disable], then the Auo Lightiptimizer can be set (p.150).
Even though I set a decreased exposure compensation, the
image comes out bright.
Set [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer] to [Disable]. When [Standard/
Low/High] is set, even if you set a decreased exposure compensation or
flash exposure compensation, the image may come out bright (p.146).
The Live View image or captured image is not displayed
during multiple-exposure shooting.

Troubleshooting Guide
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. To prevent a slow
shutter speed, under [z3: External Speedlite control], set [Flash
sync. speed in Av mode] to [1/250-1/60 sec. auto] or [1/250 sec.
(fixed)] (p.194).
The flash does not fire.
Make sure the flash (or PC sync cord) is securely attached to the
camera.
If you use a non-Canon flash unit with ve View shooting, set [z4:
Silent LV shoot.] to [Disable] (p08).
The flash always fires at ouput.
If you use a flash unit other n an EX-series Speedlite, the flash will
always be fired at ful ouput (p.191).
When the [Flash metering mode] flash Custom Function is set to
[TTL] (autoflash), the flash will always be fired at full output (p.198).
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 <f> mode.
Under [z3: External Speedlite control], set [Flash sync. speed in
Av mode] to [Auto] (p.194).

Troubleshooting Guide
The shutter makes two shooting sounds during Live View shooting.
If you use flash, the shutter will make two sounds each time you shoot
(p.202).
During Live View and movie shooting, a white
icon is displayed.
or red E
It indicates that the camera’s internal temperature is high. If the white
> icon displayed, the still photo’s image quality may deteriorate. If
<
the red <E> icon is displayed, it indicates that the Live View or movie
shooting will soon stop automatically (p.217, 243).
Movie shooting stops by itself.
If the card’s writing speed is slow, movie sooting may stop
automatically. With IPB compressise a card with an actual
reading/writing speed of at lea10 B/sec. With ALL-I (I-only)
compression, the card shouaactual reading/writing speed of
at least 30 MB/sec. To find out card’s speed, see the card
manufacturer’s Web site (p.19).
If the movie shooting time reaches 29 min. 59 sec., the movie shooting
will stop automatically.
The ISO speed cannot be set for movie shooting.
If the shooting mode is <d/s/f/BULB>, the ISO speed will be set
automatically. In the <a> mode, you can freely set the ISO speed
(p.226).
For movie shooting, ISO 32000/40000/51200 cannot be set.
Under [z2: ISO speed settings], if [ISO speed range]’s [Maximum]
is set to [51200/H] or higher, the manual setting range’s Maximum will
be expanded to enable ISO 32000/40000/51200 to be set. However,
since movie shooting at ISO 32000/40000/51200 may result in
substantial noise, the expanded ISO speed (“H” displayed) will be
used.
378
Troubleshooting Guide
The manually set ISO speed changes when switching to
movie shooting.
If you shoot a movie when [Maximum: 51200] is set with [ISO speed
range] and ISO speed is set to ISO 32000/40000/51200, the ISO
speed will switch to ISO 25600 (during movie shooting with manual
exposure). Even if you switch back to still photo shooting, the ISO
speed will not revert to the original setting.
If you shoot a movie when L (ISO 50) is set, the ISO speed setting will
switch to ISO 100 (during movie shooting with manual exposure).
Even if you switch back to still photo shooting, the ISO speed will not
revert to the original setting.
The exposure changes during movie shooting.
If you change the shutter speed oaperre during movie shooting, the
changes in the exposure may bcorde.
Zooming the lens during shooting can cause changes in the
exposure regardles of wthe lens’ maximum aperture changes
or not. Changes in he eposure may be recorded as a result.
The subject looks distorted during movie shooting.
If you move the camera to the left or right quickly (high-speed panning)
or shoot a moving subject, the image may look distorted.
The image flickers or horizontal stripes appear during movie
shooting.
Flickering, horizontal stripes (noise), or irregular exposures can be
caused by fluorescent light, LED bulbs, or other light sources during
movie shooting. Also, changes in the exposure (brightness) or color
tone may also be recorded. In the <a> mode, a slow shutter speed
may solve the problem.
379
Troubleshooting Guide
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 the still photos and shooting fewer
continuous shots may resolve the problem.
The time code is off.
Shooting still photos during movie shooting will cause a discrepancy
between the actual time and time code. When you want to edit a movie using
time code, it is recommended not to shoot still photos during movie shooting.
Operation Problems
I cannot change the setting <6>, <5>, or <9>.
Set the power switch <1> (p.38).
Check the [85: Multi function lock] setting (p.329).
Vertical-grip controls such as <

With [51: File name], select the camera’s unique file name or the file
name registered under User setting 1 (p.156).
The file numbering does not start from 0001.
If the card already contains recorded images, the image number may
not start from 0001 (p.158).
The shooting date and time displayed is incorrect.
Make sure the correct date and time has been set (p.40).
Check the time zone and daylight savings time (p.41).
The date and time is not in the pictue.
The shooting date and time does apper in the picture. The date and
time is instead recorded in mae data as shooting information. When
printing, you can imprint thand time in the picture by using the date
and time recorded ithe shooting information (p.40, 305).
[###] is displayed.
If the card has recorded a number of images greater than the camera
can display, [###] will be displayed (p.257).
In the viewfinder, the AF point display speed is slow.
In low temperatures, the display speed of the AF points may become
slower due to the AF point display device’s (liquid crystal)
characteristics. The display speed will return to normal at room
temperature.
The LCD monitor does not display a clear image.
If the LCD monitor is dirty, use a soft cloth to clean it.
