cause blindness or skin problems. If the battery leakage contacts your eyes, skin, or
clothing, flush the affected area with lots of clean water without rubbing it. See a
physician immediately.
• During the recharging, keep the equipment away from the reach of children. The cord
can accidentally choke the child or give an electrical shock.
• Do not leave any cords near a heat source. It can deform the cord or melt the
insulation and cause a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not fire the flash at someone driving a car. It may cause an accident.
• Do not fire the flash near a person’s eyes. It may impair the person’s vision. When
using flash to photograph an infant, keep at least 1 meter away.
• Before storing the camera or accessory when not in use, remove the battery pack and
disconnect the power plug. This is to prevent electrical shock, heat generation, and
fire.
• Do not use the equipment where there is flammable gas. This is to prevent an
explosion or fire.

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
temporarily and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few
days.
Memory Cards
Memory cards are precision devices. Do not drop the memory card or
subject it to vibration. Doing so could damage the images recorded on them.
Do not store or use the memory card near anything having a strong
magnetic field such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places
prone to having static electricity. Otherwise, he images recorded on the
memory card might be lost.
Do not leave the memory card in diunligt or near a heat source. Doing
so can warp the cards and mae thenusable.
Do not spill any liquid onto thorcard.
Always store your memory caa case to protect the data stored on
them.

Recharging the Battery
Connect the charger to a power outlet.
1
Connect the power plug to a power outlet,
and connect the power cord to the charger.
When no battery is attached, all the
indicator lamps will be off.
Remove the protective covers
2 from the charger and battery.
Remove the protective cover on the
charger by sliding it out.
Recharge the battery.
3
Slide in the battery into the charger’s
slot as shown by the arrow, and make
sure it is seurely attached. You can
attae batery to slot A or B.
X e Carge level indicator will light in
n and charging will start.
X
When the battery is fully charged, all three Charge
level indicators will light (50%/80%/100%).
It takes about 2 hours to fully recharge a
completely exhausted battery. The time
required to recharge the battery depends on the
ambient temperature and battery’s charge level.
The charger cannot charge any battery other than Battery Pack LP-E4.
Battery Pack LP-E4 is dedicated to Canon only. Using it with a non-Canon battery charger
or product may result in malfunction or accidents for which Canon cannot be held liable.
For battery calibration (p.28), 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 about 12 hours to
complete the calibration (power discharge) and the battery recharging (approx. 10
hours to discharge, and approx. 2 hours to fully recharge).
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 (p.28) at the same time, two batteries cannot be recharged or calibrated at the same time.

Recharging the Battery
Tips for Using the Battery and Charger
Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be
used.
Even during non-use or storage, a charged battery will gradually
discharge and lose its power.
After recharging the battery, detach it and unplug the power
cord 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, rve the battery.
If the battery is left in the a for a prolonged period, a small
amount of power curent is sed, resulting in excess discharge
and shorter battery le. Take out the battery from the camera and
attach the protective cover before storing. Storing the battery after it
is fully charged can lower the battery’s performance.
The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.
The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/60 Hz
power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available plug adapter
for the respective country. 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 performance is slightly degraded.
(Red): Purchasing a new battery is recommended.

27
Recharging the Battery
The <CAL/CHARGE> lamp blinks in red.
This indicates that you should calibrate the battery so that the correct battery level is detected
and the camera’s battery level indicator can display the correct battery level. Calibration is not a
required operation. If you want to just recharge the battery, you can let the battery start
recharging automatically after about 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 attah it to the charger again.
All three Charge level indicators k.
If all three Charge level indicators blink in it mns that the battery’s internal temperature
is not within 0°C - 40°C / 32°F - 104°F. Twistart recharging when the internal
temperature is within 0°C - 40°C 32°F - 10
If all the Calibration (discharge) stus inicators blink in red or if all the lamps blink between
green and red (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 the LP-E4 is attached to the charger, the lamps will blink between
red and green (including the <CAL/CHARGE> lamp) and the battery cannot be recharged.
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 on.
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 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 number of possible shots and maximum burst apply to a 2GB CF card
based on Canon’s testing standards. Figures in parentheses apply to an Ultra
DMA (UDMA) 2GB CF card based on Canon’s testing standards.
The file size, number of possible shots, and maximum burst during continuous shooting are
based on Canon’s testing standards (JPEG quality: 8, ISO 100, Picture Style: Standard).
Check the viewfinder or top LCD panel for the current number of possible shots.
The file size, number of possible shots, and maximum burst during
continuous shooting will vary depending on the subject, memory card
brand, ISO speed, Picture Style, etc.
In the case of monochrome images, the file size will be smaller so the number
of possible shots will be higher.

Setting the Image-recording Quality
About RAW
The RAW image is the data output by the image sensor and converted
to digital data which is recorded on the memory card as is. The RAW
image is transferred to a personal computer where software (provided)
is used to adjust the image as needed. From the RAW image, the
software can develop and generate the adjusted image in the desired
type such as JPEG or TIFF.
About sRAW
This is a small RAW image which is one-fourth (approx. 5.2
megapixels) the size of a normal RAW image. As with RAW images,
sRAW images can be developed and adjusted with the provided
software. This image type is handy when you do not need a very high
resolution as a normal RAW image.
Maximum Burst During Couous Shooting
The maximum burst n on the preceding page
indicates the nmbr of continuous shots that can be taken
with a formatted 2GB CF card based on Canon’s testing
standards.
The actual maximum burst will vary depending on the
subject, memory card brand, image-recording quality
(image size and JPEG quality), ISO speed, drive mode, Picture Style,
Custom Functions, etc. The maximum burst shown are only estimated
figures. In the viewfinder, the approximate maximum burst is indicated
on the right side.
If C.Fn II -2 [High ISO speed noise reduction] is set to [1: On], the
maximum burst will be greatly reduced. (p.163)
If C.Fn I -8 [Safety shift] is set to [2: Enable (ISO speed)], the maximum
burst displayed in the viewfinder will decrease. (p.160)
The maximum burst is displayed even when a memory card is not in the
camera. Make sure that a memory card is loaded before taking a picture.
The maximum burst for <o> is displayed regardless of the drive mode.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
54
Setting the Image-recording Quality
If the viewfinder displays “99” for the maximum burst, it means the maximum
burst is 99 or higher. If 98 or lower is displayed, the maximum burst is 98 or
lower. If you stop the continuous shooting, the maximum burst will increase.
After all the captured images are written to the memory card, the maximum
burst will be as listed on page 53.
3 Setting the JPEG Quality (Compression Rate)

The higher the image-recording quality, the fewer the number of possible
shots will be. On the other hand, the lower the image-recording quality, the
higher the number of possible shots will be.

Z: Setting the ISO Speed
The ISO speed is a numeric indication of the sensitivity to light. A higher
ISO speed number indicates a higher sensitivity to light. Therefore, a
high ISO speed is suited for low light and moving subjects. However,
the image may look more coarse with noise, etc. On the other hand, a
low ISO speed is not suited for low light or action shots, but the image
will look finer.
The camera can be set between ISO 100 and 1600 in 1/3-stop
increments.
Press the <Z> button. (9)

Using a high ISO speed or shooting in high-temperature conditions may
result in more grainy images.
High temperatures, high ISO speeds, or long exposures may cause
irregular colors in the image.
If C.Fn II -3 [Highlight tone priority] is set to [1: Enable], “L” (equivalent
to ISO 50), ISO 100/125/160 and “H” (equivalent to ISO 3200) settings
cannot be set. (p.164)
With C.Fn I -3 [Set ISO speed range], the ISO speed range can be
extended to ISO 50 (L) to 3200 (H). (p.158)

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 white balance, go to the [1 White balance] menu and select
PC *]. To save the Personal WB to the camera, use the provided software. If no
Personal WB has been registered, the menu will not be displayed.

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

Bracketing Sequence
Correct white balance, blue (B) bias, and amber (A) bias. Or, correct
white balance, magenta (M) bias, and 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 memory card will take
longer to record the shot.
“BKT” stands for Bracketing.

This setting is not recommended do not know about image
processing, Adobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File System 2.0
(Exif 2.21). Since the image will look very subdued with sRGB personal
computer environment and printers not compatible with Design rule for
Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21), post-processing of the image with
software will be required.
If the captured image 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. The ICC profile is explained in the
Software Instruction Manual in the CD-ROM.

About Folders
As with “100EOS1D” for example, the folder name starts with three digits
(folder number) followed by five 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.80) 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 memory 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 spaces
in the folder name. Also, folder names cannt havthe same three-digit
number such as “100ABC_D” and “100W” eveif the letters are
different.

followed by a four-digit image number (p.79) and
extension. The first four alphanumeric characters
are set upon factory shipment and unique to the
camera. However, you can change it.
(Ex.) 7E3B0001.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.

When you select the “*** + image size” registered with User setting2 and
take pictures, the image size character will be automatically appended as
the file name’s fourth character from the left. The meaning of the file name
characters is as follows:
“*** L” = 3(JPEG Large), 1
“*** N” = 5(JPEG Medium2)
“***M” = 4(JPEG Medium1)
“*** S” = 6(JPEG Small), 9
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, sRAW, JPEG) can
be distinguished with the extension.
The first character cannot be an underscore “_”.
The extension will be “.JPG” for JPEG images and “.CR2” for RAW and
sRAW images.

3 File Numbering Methods
The 4-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 to one folder. You can also
change how the file number is assigned.

Continuous
Continues the file numbering sequence even after the memory
card is replaced or a new folder is created.
Even after you replace the memory card or create a new folder, the file
numbering continues in sequence up to 9999. This is convenient when you
want to save the images numbered anywhere between 0001 to 9999 in
multiple cards or folders into one folder in your personal computer.
If the replacement memory card or existing folder already contains
images recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images might
continue from the file numbering of the existing images in the card or
folder. If you want to save images with continuous file numbering, use a
newly formatted memory card each time.

Whenever the memory card is replaced or a new folder created, the file
numbering starts from 0001. This is convenient if you want to organize
images according to memory cards or folders.
If the replacement memory card or existing folder already contains
images recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images might
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 memory card each time.

Manual Reset
The file numbering starts from 0001 in the 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 when you want to use different
folders for the images taken yesterday and the ones taken today, for
example. After the manual reset, the file numbering returns to
continuous or auto reset.
If the folder number is 999 and the file number reaches 9999, you will not be
able to take any more pictures even if the memory card is not full. A
message asking you to replace the memory card will appear on the LCD
monitor. Either replace the memory card or switch to the other memory card
in the camera.

AF is also possible by pressing the
<p> button.
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 the focusing distance immediately before
the picture is taken. This is for obtaining correct focus at the moment of exposure.
When the AF point selection is automatic (p.84), the camera first
uses the center AF point to focus. During autofocusing, if the subject
moves away from the center AF point, focus tracking continues as
long as the subject is covered by the Area AF.
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.

whose maximum aperture is f/2.8 or larger.
With f/2.8 and faster lenses*
With the 19 AF points indicated by
high-precision, cross-type AF (both
,
horizontal- and vertical-line sensitive) is
possible. With cross-type AF, vertical-line
detection is about 2 times as sensitive as
horizontal-line detection. The remaining
26 Assist AF points are horizontal-line
Assist AF points
Cross-type points
sensitive only
.
* Excluding thEF24mm f/2.8 and EF28mm f/2.8.
With lenses whose maximum aperture if/4 or larger
If the maximum aperture of the lenExtender and lens combination
is faster than f/4, the center Aint will work as a high-precision,
cross-type point sensitive to borizontal and vertical lines. The
remaining 18 AF points and the 26 Assist AF points work as horizontal-
line sensitive AF points.
With lenses whose maximum aperture is f/5.6 or larger
With lenses whose maximum aperture is larger than f/5.6, all the AF
points, including the Assist AF points, will be horizontal-line sensitive only.
With lenses whose maximum aperture is f/8 or larger
With lenses whose maximum aperture is larger than f/8, AF will be
possible with the center AF point which will be horizontal-line sensitive.
AF will not work with the other AF points.
When the EF70-200mm f/2.8L USM is used with an Extender, use the center
AF point only. The other AF points may cause a focusing error.
When using the EF24mm f/2.8 or EF28mm f/2.8 lens,
the 13 AF points shown on the right can be used as
cross-type points. The remaining 6 AF points will be
horizontal-line sensitive.

When Autofocus Fails
Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (the focus confirmation light <o>
blinks) with certain subjects such as the following:
Subjects difficult to focus
Low-contrast subjects
Example: Blue sky, solid-color walls, etc.
Subjects in low light
Extremely backlit and reflective subjects
Example: Car with a reflective body, etc.
Overlapping near and far objects
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, focus an object at the ame distance as the
subject and lock the focus before mpoing. (p.83)
(2) Set the lens focus mode swito <g> and focus manually.

With high-speed sync, you can set a flah sync speed faster than 1/
250 sec.
• FE (Flash Exposure) Lo
Press the camera’s <I> n to lock the flash exposure at the
desired part of the sbject.
• Flash Exposure Compensation
In the same way as normal exposure compensation, you can set
exposure compensation for flash. You can set the flash exposure
compensation up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments.
With the camera, set it by pressing <Q> and turning the <5> dial.
• FEB (Flash Exposure Bracketing)
The flash output is changed automatically for three successive shots
(only with FEB-compatible Speedlites). Set flash exposure
bracketing up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments. During FEB
shooting, the <r> icon will blink in the viewfinder.
• E-TTL II Wireless Autoflash with Multiple Speedlites
As with wired, multiple Speedlites, wireless E-TTL II autoflash with
multiple Speedlites (those compatible with wireless flash) provides
all the above features. Sophisticated lighting effects can be obtained
since connection cables are unnecessary.

Metered Manual Flash Exposure
This is for close-up flash photography when you want to set the flash level
manually. Use an 18% gray card and an EX-series Speedlite which has
manual flash mode. Follow the instructions below:
1. Set the camera and Speedlite settings.
• Set the camera’s shooting mode <a> or <f>.
• Set the Speedlite to manual flash mode.
2. Focus the subject.
• Focus manually.
3. Set up the 18% gray card.
• Place the gray card at the subject’s position.
• In the viewfinder, the entire spot metering circle at the center should
cover the gray card.
4. Press the <I> button. (8)
5. Set the flash exposure level.
• Adjust the Speedlite’s manual flash leveand the camera
aperture so that the flash exposevel ligns with the
standard exposure index.
6. Take the picture.
• Remove the gray ard anthe picture.
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 overides the camera’s.
If autofocus cannot be achieved, the external, EOS-dedicated
Speedlite’s AF-assist beam (if the Speedlite has it) will be emitted
automatically.
If focus cannot be achieved with the external Speedlite’s AF-assist
beam, select the center AF point. With some external Speedlites,
autofocus with AF-assist beam works only with the center AF point.
This camera is a Type-A camera that can use all the features of EX-
series Speedlites.
The flash function’s [E-TTL II] setting will work together with C.Fn II -4
(p.164). And [Flash firing] will work with C.Fn II -6 (p.165).
Only [E-TTL II] and [Flash exp. comp] can be settable for flash function
settings with an EX-series Speedlite not controllable by the camera.
(For some EX-series Speedlites, [Shutter sync.] can also be settable.)

Flash Photography
Using Non-EX-series Canon Speedlites
With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set in the TTL or A-TTL
autoflash mode, the flash can be fired at full output only. Set the
camera’s shooting mode to manual or aperture-priority AE and shoot.
When using a Speedlite which has manual flash mode, shoot in the
manual flash mode.
With an EX-series Speedlite set to TTL autoflash with the flash’s
Custom Function, the flash will fire at full output only.
Using Non-Canon Flash Units
Sync Speed
The camera can synchronize with non-Canon compact flash units at
1/250 sec. and slower speeds. With large stuo flash units, since the
flash duration is longer, set the sync sd witin 1/30 sec. to 1/125
sec. Be sure to test the flash synchroniion before shooting.
PC Terminal
The camera’s PC terminal is provided
for 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.
Also, 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 work.
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.

Live View Shooting
You can shoot while viewing a rl-timimage on the
camera’s LCD monitor or on a psonal computer
screen. This is called “Livw shooting.”
Using a hard disk-type card is not recommended. Use a
memory card.
When you use Live View shooting 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.
For a long exposure, stop Live View shooting temporarily and
wait several minutes before shooting.
If the < > (warning for high temperature in the camera) icon is
displayed, terminate Live View shooting.
With a hard-disk type card in the camera, if Live View shooting
continues while the < > icon is displayed, the Live View might
stop automatically. Live View shooting will be disabled until the
camera’s internal temperature decreases.

Live View Shooting
Instead of looking through the viewfinder, you can look at a real-time
image on the camera’s LCD monitor while shooting. You can also
magnify the real-time image on the LCD monitor by 5x or 10x so you
can focus more precisely. Convenient when the camera is mounted on
a tripod for shooting still lifes, for example.
Preparing for Live View Shooting
Set the lens focus mode switch to
<g>.
During Live View shooting,
autofocusing is not possible.

During Live View shooting, do not point the camera toward the sun. The
sun’s heat can damage the camera’s internal components.
If you handhold the camera like a compact digital camera and shoot while
viewing the LCD monitor, camera shake can cause blurred images. For Live
View shooting, mounting the camera on a tripod is recommended.
About Remote Live View Shooting
With the provided software installed in the personal computer, you can connect the camera to
the personal computer and shoot remotely while viewing the computer screen instead of the
camera’s viewfinder. For details, see the Software Instruction Manual in the CD-ROM.

During Live View image display, if you point the camera in a different direction, it
might throw off the correct brightness momentarily and the image might not look
right. Wait until the image stabilizes at the correct brightness before shooting.
If you shoot while the image brightness is noyet stable, the resulting image
might be overexposed or underexposed.
If the light source within the ichges, the screen might flicker. If this
happens, press <0> to end oting, then with the new light source in
place, press <0> agn to resushooting.
Setting the Shooting Functions
In the same way as during shooting through the viewfinder, you can set
the shooting functions (shooting mode, drive mode, memory card
selection, image size, ISO speed, Picture Style, white balance,
exposure compensation, AEB, AE lock, flash exposure compensation,
etc.) while looking at the top/rear LCD panel or LCD monitor.
Only the metering mode cannot be changed. Focusing frame-linked
evaluative metering with the image sensor will take effect.
Continuous shooting is possible.
The metering and AE lock activated with the <A> button will remain
active for 16 sec.
To set the white balance, memory card selection, or image size, press

High temperatures, high ISO speeds, or long exposures may cause noise or
irregular colors in the captured image shot with Live View shooting.
During continuous shooting, the exposure set for the first shot will also
be applied to subsequent shots. If you recompose during continuous
shooting, the exposure might not match the latter shots.
If the camera is not operated for a prolonged period, the power will turn
off automatically as set with [5 Auto power off]. (p.47)
While the image is magnified, pressing the <A> button will not renew the exposure setting.
During the 5x or 10x magnified view, the image sharpness may be applied to a
higher degree than what was set. This is to make it easier to focus manually.

If there is a very bright light source in the picture, such as the sun, the
bright area might be covered in black on the LCD monitor. However, the
actual captured image will correctly show the bright area.
The time it takes to actually take the picture after you press the shutter
button completely is slightly longer than with shooting through the
viewfinder.
When you press the shutter button completely, the shutter will make two
shutter-release sounds (with flash, the reflex mirror and shutter operation
make multiple sounds). However, only one shot is taken.

About the Highlight Alert
When the [4 Highlight alert] menu is set to [Enable], overexposed
highlight areas will blink. To obtain more image detail in the overexposed areas,
set the exposure compensation to a negative amount and shoot again.
About the AF Point Display
When the [4 AF point disp.] menu is set to [Enable], the AF point
which achieved focus will be displayed in red in the shooting
information display and histogram display. 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, overall brightness, and gradation. And the RGB histogram
display is for checking the color saturation and gradation. The display
can be switched with the [4 Histogram] menu.
[Brightness] Display
Sample Histograms
This histogram is a graph showing the dtion f the image’s
brightness level. The horizontal axis inde bghtness level
(darker on the left and brighter othe righle the vertical axis
indicates how many pixels exist fr eacbrightness level. The
more pixels there are toward the left, the darker the image. And the
more pixels there are toward the right, the brighter the image. If
there are too many pixels on the left, the shadow detail will be lost.
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, you can see the exposure
level inclination and the overall tone reproduction condition.

[RGB] Display
This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of the image’s brightness level of each
primary color (RGB or red, blue, and green). 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.

Sensor Cleaning
The camera has a Self Cleaning ensr Unit attached
to the sensor’s front layer (low-ps filter) to shake off
dust automatically.
The Dust Delete Data can be appended to the
image so that any remaining dust spots can be removed
automatically by the Digital Photo Professional
(provided software).
About smear 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.
In case 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.

3 Automatic Sensor Cleaning
Whenever you set the power switch to <1/J> or <2>, the Self Cleaning
Sensor Unit operates (approx. 3.5 sec.) to automatically shake off any dust on
the front of the sensor. Normally, you need not be aware of this operation.
However, you can execute the sensor cleaning at anytime as well as disable it.

sensor cleaning, the shutter will make 3 shutter-release sounds. The
camera is not taking pictures.
For best results, do the sensor cleaning while the camera bottom is
placed on a table or other surface at a perpendicular angle.
Even if you repeat the sensor cleaning multiple times, the result will not
improve that much. Right after the sensor cleaning is finished, the
[Cleaning nowf] option will remain disabled temporarily.
Disabling Automatic Sensor Cleaning
In step 2, select [Auto cleaningf] and set it to [Disable].

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

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

For Laser-matte screens.
2: pEc-S

3: kEc-N,R
For New Laser-matte screens.
The
pEc-S focusing screen is optimized for lenses whose maximum aperture
is f/1.8 to f/2.8. If the lens maximum aperture is brighter than f/1.8, the center
spot metering circle and Area AF ellipse might become difficult to see.
Also, if the lens maximum aperture is slower than f/2.8, the viewfinder will
look darker.
Even if all the Custom Functions are cleared, this setting will be retained.
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 came with
the focusing screen.

Troubleshooting Guide
Live View shooting is not possible.
When using Live View shooting, use a memory card (a hard disk-type
card such as MicroDrive is not recommended). A hard disk-type card
requires a lower temperature range for operation than with normal
memory cards. If the temperature gets too high, the Live View shooting
may stop temporarily to prevent damage to the card’s hard disk. When
the camera’s internal temperature decreases, the Live View shooting
will be able to resume. (p.109)
