not apply heat or apply solder to the battery pack or back-up battery. Do not expose  
the battery pack or back-up battery to fire or water. And do not subject the battery  
pack or back-up battery to strong physical shock.  
- Do not install the battery pack or back-up battery in reversed polarity (+ –). Do not  
mix new and old or different types of batteries.  
- Do not recharge the battery pack outside the allowable ambient temperature range  
of 0°C - 40°C (32°F - 104°F). Also, do not exceed the recharging time.  
- Do not insert any foreign metallic objects into the electrical contacts of the camera,  
accessories, connecting cables, etc.  
• Keep the back-up battery away from children. If a chilwallows the battery, consult a  
physician immediately. (Battery chemicals mm thstomach and intestines.)  
• When disposing of a battery pack or bup bery, insulate the electrical contacts  
with tape to prevent contact with othec ojects or batteries. This is to prevent  
fire or an explosion.  
• If excessive heat, smoke, or fumes are emitted during battery pack recharging,  
immediately unplug the battery hargr from the power outlet to stop the recharging  
and prevent a fire.  
• If the battery pack or back-up battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or  
fumes, remove it immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process.  
• Prevent any battery leakage from contacting your eyes, skin, and clothing. It can  
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.

• If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts, do  
not touch the internal parts due to the possibility of electrical shock.  
• Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. High-voltage internal parts can cause  
electrical shock.  
• Do not look at the sun or an extremely bright light source through the camera or lens.  
Doing so may damage your vision.  
• Keep the camera from the reach of small children. The neck strap can accidentally  
choke the child.  
• Do not store the equipment in dusty or humid places. This is to prevent fire and  
electrical shock.  
• Before using the camera inside an airplane or hospital, check if it is allowed.  
Electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the plane’s  
instruments or the hospital’s medical equipment.  
To prevent fire and electrical shock, follow the safeguards below:  
- Always insert the power plug all the way in.  
- Do not handle a power plug with wet hands.  
- When unplugging a power plug, grasp and pull the plug instead of the cord.

may become moist and shrt-circuit utlet to cause a fire.  
Preventing Injury or Equiment Damage  
• Do not leave equipment inside a car under the hot sun or near a heat source. The  
equipment may become hot and cause skin burns.  
• Do not carry the camera around while it is attached to a tripod. Doing so may cause  
injury. Also make sure the tripod is sturdy enough to support the camera and lens.  
• Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera under the sun without the lens cap  
attached. Otherwise, the lens may concentrate the sun’s rays and cause a fire.  
• Do not cover or wrap the battery-recharging apparatus with a cloth. Doing so may trap  
heat within and cause the casing to deform or catch fire.  
• If you drop the camera in water or if water or metal fragments enter inside the camera,  
promptly remove the battery pack and back-up battery. This is to prevent fire and  
electrical shock.  
• Do not use or leave the battery pack or back-up battery in a hot environment. Doing so  
may cause battery leakage or a shorter battery life. The battery pack or back-up  
battery can also become hot and cause skin burns.

the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, takhe camera to the nearest  
Canon Service Center.  
  Do not touch the camera’s electrconcts with your fingers. This is to  
prevent the contacts from corrodrroded contacts can cause camera  
misoperation.  
  If the camera is suddenly rougt in from the cold into a warm room,  
condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent  
condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to  
the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.  
  If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid  
damaging the camera. If there is condensation, remove the lens, memory  
card and battery from the camera, and wait until the condensation has  
evaporated before using the camera.

Handling Precautions  
LCD Panel and LCD Monitor  
  Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision  
technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there might be a few dead  
pixels among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying  
only black or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images  
recorded.  
  If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur  
where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only  
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.  
  Do not bend the card or subect it to any excessive force or physical shock.  
  Do not store the memory card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.  
Lens Electrical Contacts  
After detaching the lens from the camera, attach the lens  
caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid  
scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.  
Contacts  
Cautions for Prolonged Use  
When you shoot continuously for a prolonged period or use Live View shooting  
for a long 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.

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.

26  
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.

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.

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.

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  
amount.

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.

(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 “_”.

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.

3 Changing the File Name  
The file name has four alphanumeric characters  
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.

About User setting2  
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.  
(Ex.) 7E3B0001.JPG  
Select [File numbering].  
  Under the [5] tab, select [File

numbering], then press <0>.  
Select the file numbering method.  
  Turn the <5> dial to select the  
desired method, then press <0>.  
2
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.

3 File Numbering Methods  
Auto Reset  
The file numbering restarts from 0001 each time the memory card  
is replaced or a new folder is created.  
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.

If the [2 Beep] menu is set to [Off], 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.  
AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects  
This AF mode is for moving subjects  
when the fcusing distance keeps  
chag. While you hold down the  
uttbutton halfway, the subject  
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 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.

S Selecting the AF Point  
Lens’ Maximum Aperture and AF Sensitivity  
The EOS-1Ds Mark III can execute high-precision AF with lenses  
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.

Mirror Lockup  
Although using the self-timer or Remote Switch can prevent camera  
shake, using mirror lockup to prevent camera vibrations can also help  
when you use a super telephoto lens or shoot close ups.  
When C.Fn III -15 [Mirror lockup] is set to [1:Enable] or [2:Enable:  
Down with SET] (p.172), shooting with mirror lockup is possible.

taken. To cancel the mirror lockress <0>.  
  In very bright light such as at thch or ski slope on a sunny day, take  
the picture promptly aftr miror lockup.  
  During mirror lockup, do not point the camera lens at the sun. The sun’s  
heat can scorch and damage the shutter curtains.  
  If you use bulb exposures, the self-timer, and mirror lockup in  
combination, keep pressing the shutter button completely (self-timer  
delay time + bulb exposure time). If you let go of the shutter button  
during the 10-sec./2-sec. self-timer countdown, there will be a shutter-  
release sound. This is not the actual shutter release (no picture is taken).  
  When [1:Enable] is set, single shooting will take effect even if the drive  
mode is continuous. When [2:Enable: Down with SET] is set, the  
current drive mode will take effect for the shooting.  
  When the self-timer is set to <k> or <l>, the picture will be taken  
after 10 sec. or 2 sec. respectively.  
  The mirror locks up, and after 30 seconds, it will go back down  
automatically.  
  For mirror lockup shots, using Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer Remote  
Controller TC-80N3 (both sold separately) is recommended.

Flash Photography  
Using an EX-series Speedlite  
An EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) makes flash photography as  
easy as normal shooting without flash. You can easily do the flash  
operations below. For detailed instructions, see the EX-series  
Speedlite’s instruction manual.  
  E-TTL II Autoflash  
E-TTL II is an autoflash exposure system incorporating improved  
flash exposure control and lens focusing distance information,  
making it more precise than the previous E-TTL system (evaluative  
flash metering with preflash). The camera can execute E-TTL II  
autoflash with any EX-series Speedlite.  
• High-Speed Sync (FP flash)  
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.

Flash Photography  
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.

  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.  
Dark image  
Normal image  
Bright image  
[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.

  The user-executed cleaning takes about 4 sec. to complete. During the  
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  
  Get a solid-white object (paper, etc.).  
  Set the lens focal length to 50mm or longer.  
  Set the lens focus mode switch to <g> and set the focus to infinity  
(). If the lens has no distance scale, look at the front of the lens

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.

3 Manual Sensor Cleaning  
Dust which could not be removed by the automatic sensor cleaning can  
be removed manually with a blower, etc.

3 Manual Sensor Cleaning  
  While cleaning the sensor, never do any of the following. If the  
power is cut off, the shutter will close and the shutter curtains and  
image sensor might get damaged.  
• Set the power switch to <2>.  
• Remove/insert the battery.  
  The surface of the image sensor is extremely delicate. Clean the sensor  
with care.  
  Use a plain blower without any brush attached. A brush can scratch the  
sensor.  
  Do not insert the blower tip inside the camera beyond the lens mount. If  
the power is turned off, the shutter will close and the shutter curtains or  
reflex mirror might 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 smear that cannot be removed with a blower remains, having the  
sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center irecommended.

C.Fn II -1 Long exposure noise reduction  
0: Off  
1: Auto  
For 1 sec. or longer exposures, noise reduction is performed  
automatically if noise typical of long exposures is detected. This [Auto]  
setting is effective in most cases.  
2: On  
Noise reduction is performed for all exposures 1 sec. or longer. The [On]  
setting may be effective for noise that cannot be detected or reduced  
with the [Auto] setting.  
With setting 2, if a long exposure is made during Live View shooting, the  
LCD monitor will not display anything (no Live View image display) while  
noise reduction is applied after the picture s aken. During the noise  
reduction process, shooting is possioweer, you will not be able to see  
anything on the LCD monitor ain tviewfinder. Since you cannot check  
the focus and picture compohoting is not recommended during the  
noise reduction proces.  
With setting 1 and 2, after the picture is taken, the noise reduction process  
may take the same amount of time as the exposure. During the noise  
reduction, shooting is still possible as long as the maximum burst indicator  
in the viewfinder shows “1” or higher.

For Laser-matte screens.  
2: pEc-S  
For Super Precision Mate screens.  
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.

Understanding the Program Line  
The lower horizontal axis represents the shutter speed, and the right-hand  
vertical axis represents the aperture.  
The combinations of shutter speed and aperture automatically determined by  
Program AE are shown as lines with respect to the subject brightness  
(Exposure Value) levels on the left and top edges of the graph.  
Using an EF50mm f/1.4 USM lens with a subject brightness of EV12, the point  
where the diagonal line from EV12 (on the top edge) intersects the Program AE  
line represents the corresponding shutter speed (1/320 sec.) and aperture  
(f/3.5) that the program sets automatically. The diagonal arrowed lines at the  
upper left indicate the metering range for each ISO speeds.

Troubleshooting Guide  
Shooting  
No images can be shot or recorded.  
  The memory card is not properly inserted. (p.32)  
  If the memory card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary  
images to make room.  
Or if a not-full memory card is inserted in the other card slot, switch the  
recording to that card. (p.32, 73, 128)  
  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 focus, or focus  
manually. (p.36, 86)  
The LCD monitor does not display a lear image.  
  If dust is adhering to the LCD mor, wipe with a lens cloth or soft  
cloth.  
  In low or high temeratureLCD monitor display may seem slow  
or it might look blac. It ill return to normal at room temperature.  
The image is out of focus.  
  On the lens, set the focus mode switch to <f>. (p.35)  
  To prevent camera shake, hold the camera still and press the shutter  
button gently. (p.36, 40)

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)  
Image Review & Operation  
The image cannot be erased.  
  If the image has been erase-protected, it cnnot be erased. (p.123)  
The shooting date and time plaed is incorrect.  
  The correct date and tme haeen set. (p.46)  
No image appears on the TV screen.  
  Make sure the video cable plug is connected all the way in. (p.122)  
  Set the video OUT format (NTSC/PAL) to the same video format as  
the TV. (p.44)  
  Use the video cable that came with the camera. (p.122)
