INSTRUCTION

MANUAL

Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.

The EOS 7D is a high-performance, digital SLR camera featuring a fine-detail CMOS sensor with about 18.0 effective megapixels, Dual

“DIGIC 4”, 100% viewfinder coverage, high-precision and high-speed

19-point AF (all cross-type), approx. 8 fps continuous shooting, Live

View shooting, and Full HD (Full High-Definition) movie shooting.

The camera is highly responsive to any shooting situation at anytime, provides many features for demanding shoots, and expands shooting possibilities with system accessories.

Take a Few Test Shots to Familiarize Yourself with the

Camera

With a digital camera, you can immediately view the image you have captured. While reading this manual, take a few test shots and see how they come out. You can then better understand the camera.

To avoid botched pictures and accidents, first read the Safety Warnings

(p.261,262) and Handling Precautions (p.12,13).

Testing the Camera Before Using and Liability

After shooting, playback and check whether the image has been properly recorded. If the camera or memory card is faulty and the images cannot be recorded or downloaded to a computer, Canon cannot be held liable for any loss or inconvenience caused.

Copyrights

Copyright laws in your country may prohibit the use of your recorded images of people and certain subjects for anything but private enjoyment. Also be aware that certain public performances, exhibitions, etc., may prohibit photography even for private enjoyment.

CF Card

In this manual, “card” refers to the CF card. The CF card (for

recording images) is not included. Please purchase it separately.

Handling Precautions

Camera Care

This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical shock.

The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you accidentally drop the camera into water, promptly consult your nearest

Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a well-wrung wet cloth.

Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field such as a magnet or electric motor. Also avoid using or leaving the camera near anything emitting strong radio waves such as a large antenna. Strong magnetic fields can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data.

Do not leave the camera in excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight.

High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.

The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to disassemble the camera yourself.

Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirror, and focusing screen. Do not use cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, take the camera to the nearest

Canon Service Center.

Do not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your fingers. This is to prevent the contacts from corroding. 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.

12

Handling Precautions

LCD Panel and LCD Monitor

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

If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days.

In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow or it might look black. It will return to normal at room temperature.

Cards

To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:

Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force, physical shock, or vibration.

Do not store or use the card near anything having a strong magnetic field such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places prone to having static electricity.

Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source.

Store the card in a case.

Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.

Lens

After detaching the lens from the camera, attach the lens caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.

Contacts

Cautions During Prolonged Use

If you use continuous shooting, Live View shooting, or movie shooting for a prolonged period, the camera may become hot. Although this is not a malfunction, holding the hot camera for a long period can cause slight skin burns.

It takes about 2.5 hours to fully recharge a completely exhausted battery at 23°C / 73°F. The time required to recharge the battery depends on the ambient temperature and battery’s charge level.

For safety reasons, recharging in low temperatures (5°C - 10°C /

41°F - 50°F) will take a longer time (up to 4 hours).

24

Charging the Battery

Tips for Using the Battery and Charger

Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be used.

Even during non-use or storage, a charged battery will gradually discharge and lose its power.

After recharging the battery, detach it and unplug the power cord or prongs from the power outlet.

You can attach the cover in a different orientation to indicate whether the battery has been recharged or not.

If the battery has been recharged, attach the cover so that the battery-shaped hole < > is aligned over the blue sticker on the battery. If the battery is exhausted, attach the cover in the opposite orientation.

When not using the camera, remove the battery.

If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small amount of power current is released, resulting in excess discharge and shorter battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover attached. 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 or region. Do not attach any portable voltage transformer to the battery charger. Doing so can damage the battery charger.

If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully charged, the battery has worn out.

Check the battery’s recharge performance (p.230) and purchase a new battery.

If the battery’s remaining capacity (p.230) is 94% or higher, the battery will not be recharged.

After disconnecting the charger’s power plug, do not touch the charger power plug (prongs) for at least 3 sec.

The figures above are based on a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E6, no Live

View shooting, and CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) testing standards.

Battery Grip BG-E7 approximately doubles the number of possible shots with two LP-E6 batteries installed. With size-AA/LR6 alkaline batteries, the number of possible shots at 23°C / 73°F is approx. 400 shots without flash use and approx. 300 shots with 50% flash use.

28

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 LCD monitor often.

• Using the lens Image Stabilizer.

The lens operation is powered by the camera’s battery. Depending on the lens used, the number of possible shots may be lower.

For battery life with Live View shooting, see page 133.

See the [7 Battery info.] menu to further check the battery’s condition

(p.230).

If size-AA/LR6 batteries are used in Battery Grip BG-E7, a four-level indicator will be displayed. ([ / ] will not be displayed.)

Installing and Removing the CF Card

30

The access lamp lights or blinks while the picture is taken, when data is being transferred to the card and when data is being recorded, read, or erased on the card. While the access lamp is lit or blinking, never do any of the following. Doing so may damage the image data. It may also damage the card or camera.

• Opening the card slot cover.

• Removing the battery.

• Shaking or banging the camera around.

If the card already contains recorded images, the image number might not start from 0001 (p.80).

If a card-related error message is displayed on the LCD monitor, remove and reinstall the card. If the error persists, use a different card.

If you can transfer all the images in the card to a computer, transfer all the images and then format the card (p.43). The card may then return to normal.

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

Attaching and Detaching a Lens

About Zooming

To zoom, turn the zoom ring on the lens with your fingers.

If you want to zoom, do it before focusing. Turning the zoom ring after achieving focus may throw off the focus slightly.

Detaching the Lens

While pressing the lens release button, turn the lens as shown by the arrow.

Turn the lens until it stops, then detach it.

Attach the rear lens cap to the detached lens.

To owners of the EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens:

You can prevent the lens from extending out while you are carrying it around. Set the zoom ring to the 18mm wide-angle end, then slide the zoom ring lock lever to <LOCK>. The zoom ring can be locked only at the wide-angle end.

Do not look at the sun directly through any lens. Doing so may cause loss of vision.

If the front part (focusing ring) of the lens rotates during autofocusing, do not touch the rotating part.

32

Image Conversion Factor

Since the image sensor size is smaller than the 35mm film format, it will look like the lens focal length is increased by 1.6x.

Image sensor size

(22.3 x 14.9 mm / 0.88 x 0.59 in.)

35mm image size

(36 x 24 mm / 1.42 x 0.94 in.)

About the Lens Image Stabilizer

When you use the IS lens’ built-in Image Stabilizer, camera shake is corrected to obtain a less blurred shot. The procedure explained here is based on the EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens as an example.

* IS stands for Image Stabilizer.

1

Set the IS switch to <1>.

Set the camera’s power switch to

<1>.

2

Press the shutter button halfway.

X The Image Stabilizer will operate.

3

Take the picture.

When the picture looks steady in the viewfinder, press the shutter button completely to take the picture.

The Image Stabilizer is not effective for moving subjects.

The Image Stabilizer may not be effective for excessive shaking such as on a rocking boat.

With the EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens, the Image Stabilizer will not be very effective while you move the camera to take panned shots.

The Image Stabilizer can operate with the lens focus mode switch set to either <AF> or <MF>.

If the camera is mounted on a tripod, you can save battery power by switching the IS switch to <2>.

The Image Stabilizer can operate even when the camera is mounted on a monopod.

Some IS lenses enable you to switch the IS mode manually to suit the shooting conditions. However, the EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM,

EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS, and EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lenses switch the IS mode automatically.

33

Basic Operation

Adjusting the Viewfinder Clarity

Turn the dioptric adjustment knob.

Turn the knob left or right so that the

AF points in the viewfinder look sharp.

If the knob is difficult to turn, remove the eyecup (p.108).

If the camera’s dioptric adjustment still cannot provide a sharp viewfinder image, using Dioptric Adjustment Lens Eg (sold separately) is recommended.

FAQ

The focus confirmation light <o> blinks and focus is not achieved.

Aim the center of the Area AF frame over an area having good contrast, then press the shutter button halfway (p.92). If you are too close to the subject, move away and try again.

Sometimes multiple AF points light up simultaneously.

All those AF points have achieved focus. As long as the AF point covering the desired subject lights up, you can take the picture.

The beeper continues to beep softly. (The focus confirmation

light <o> does not light.)

It indicates that the camera is focusing continuously on a moving subject.

(The focus confirmation light <o> does not light.) You can shoot a moving subject in focus.

Pressing the shutter button halfway does not focus the subject.

If the focus mode switch on the lens is set to <MF> (Manual Focus), set it to <AF> (Auto Focus).

Although it is daylight, the flash popped up.

For a backlit subject, the flash may pop up to help reduce the subject’s dark shadow.

In low light, the built-in flash fired a series of flashes.

Pressing the shutter button halfway may trigger the built-in flash to fire a series of flashes to assist autofocusing. This is called the AF-assist beam. It is effective up to approx. 4 meters/13.1 feet away.

Although flash was used, the picture came out dark.

The subject was too far away. The subject should be within 5 meters/16.4 feet from the camera.

When flash was used, the bottom part of the picture came out unnaturally dark.

The subject was too close to the camera, and a shadow was created by the lens barrel. The subject should be at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away from the camera. If a hood has been attached to the lens, remove it before taking the flash picture.

Recomposing the Shot

Depending on the scene, position the subject toward the left or right to create a balanced background and good perspective.

In the <1> (Full Auto) mode, while you press the shutter button halfway to focus a still subject, the focus will be locked. You can then recompose the shot and press the shutter button completely to take the picture. This is called “focus lock”.

Shooting a Moving Subject

In the <1> (Full Auto) mode, if the subject moves (distance to camera changes) during or after you focus, AI Servo AF will take effect to focus the subject continuously. As long as you keep aiming the AF point on the subject while pressing the shutter button halfway, the focusing will be continuous. When you want to take the picture, press the shutter button completely.

Figures for the file size, possible shots, and maximum burst during continuous shooting are based on Canon’s testing standards (ISO 100 and Standard

Picture Style) using a 4GB card. These figures will vary depending on the subject, card brand, ISO speed, Picture Style, Custom Functions, etc.

The maximum burst applies to high-speed continuous shooting. Figures in parentheses apply to an Ultra DMA (UDMA) 4GB card based on Canon’s testing standards.

If you select both RAW and JPEG, the same image will be recorded simultaneously to the card in both types at the selected image-recording quality. The two images will be saved in the same folder with the same file numbers (file extension .JPG for JPEG and .CR2 for RAW).

The icons are read as follows: 1 (RAW), 41 (Medium RAW),

61 (Small RAW), JPEG, 7 (Fine), 8 (Normal), 3 (Large), 4

(Medium), and 6 (Small).

3 Setting the Image-recording Quality

About RAW

A RAW image is the data output by the image sensor, converted to digital data and recorded on the card as is. You can select from 1,

41 , or 61 (Commonly referred as RAW in this manual).

With RAW images, you can use the provided software to make various adjustments as desired and then generate a JPEG, TIFF, etc., image.

Commercially-available software might not be able to display RAW images.

Using the provided software is recommended.

Maximum Burst During Continuous Shooting

The maximum burst during continuous shooting indicated on the preceding page is the number of continuous shots that can be taken without stopping, based on a formatted 4GB card.

The number is displayed on the bottom right in the viewfinder. If the maximum burst is 99 or higher, “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 loaded before taking a picture.

If [8C.Fn II -2: High ISO speed noise reduction] is set to [2: Strong], the maximum burst will be greatly reduced (p.208).

60

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 LCD panel and shooting will be disabled temporarily.

If you stop the continuous shooting, the maximum burst will increase. After all the captured images are written to the card, the maximum burst will be as listed on page 59.

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.

70

You can also use the [2 White balance] menu to set the white balance.

B : Setting the White BalanceN

O Custom White Balance

Custom white balance enables you to manually set the white balance for a specific light source for better accuracy. Do this procedure under the actual light source to be used.

1

Photograph a white object.

Look through the viewfinder and the area within the dotted line should cover a solid-white object.

Focus manually and set the standard exposure for the white object.

You can set any white balance.

If the exposure obtained in step 1 is way off, a correct white balance might not be obtained.

If the image was captured while the Picture Style was set to

[Monochrome] (p.65), it cannot be selected in step 3.

Instead of a white object, an 18% gray card (commercially available) can produce a more accurate white balance.

The personal white balance registered with the provided software will be registered under <O>. If you do step 3, the data for the registered personal white balance will be erased.

P Setting the Color Temperature

You can set the white balance’s color temperature numerically in Kelvin.

This is for advanced users.

1

Select [White balance].

Under the [2] tab, select [White

balance], then press <0>.

2

Set the color temperature.

Turn the <5> dial to select [P].

Turn the <6> dial to set the color temperature, then press <0>.

The color temperature can be set from 2500K to 10000K in 100K increments.

72

When setting the color temperature for an artificial light source, set white balance correction (magenta or green) as necessary.

If you want to set <P> to the reading taken with a commerciallyavailable color temperature meter, take test shots and adjust the setting to compensate for the difference between the color temperature meter’s reading and the camera’s color temperature reading.

u White Balance CorrectionN

You can correct the white balance that has been set. This adjustment will have the same effect as using a commercially-available color temperature conversion filter or color compensating filter. Each color can be corrected to one of nine levels.

This is for advanced users who are familiar with using color temperature conversion or color compensating filters.

White Balance Correction

1

Select [WB SHIFT/BKT].

Under the [2] tab, select [WB

SHIFT/BKT], then press <0>.

Sample setting: A2, G1

2

Set the white balance correction.

Use <9> to move the “ ” mark to the desired position.

B is for blue, A is amber, M is magenta, and G is green. The color in the respective direction will be corrected.

On the upper right, “SHIFT” indicates the direction and correction amount.

Pressing the <B> button will cancel all the [WB SHIFT/BKT] settings.

Press <0> to exit the setting and return to the menu.

During the white balance correction, <u> will be displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel.

One level of the blue/amber correction is equivalent to 5 mireds of a color temperature conversion filter. (Mired: Measuring unit indicating the density of a color temperature conversion filter.)

73

u White Balance CorrectionN

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.

B/A bias ±3 levels

Set the white balance bracketing amount.

In step 2 for white balance correction, when you turn the <5> dial, the “ ” mark on the screen will change to “ ” (3 points).

Turning the dial to the right sets the B/A bracketing, and turning it to the left sets the

M/G bracketing.

X On the right side of the screen, “BKT” indicates the bracketing direction and the bracketing amount.

Pressing the <B> button will cancel all the [WB SHIFT/BKT] settings.

Press <0> to exit the setting and return to the menu.

Bracketing Sequence

The images will be bracketed in the following sequence: 1. Standard white balance, 2. Blue (B) bias, and 3. Amber (A) bias, or 1. Standard white balance, 2. Magenta (M) bias, 3. Green (G) bias.

74

During WB bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will be lower and the number of possible shots will also decrease to one-third the normal number. Also, the white balance icon will blink on the LCD panel.

You can also set white balance correction and AEB together with white balance bracketing. If you set AEB in combination with white balance bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded for a single shot.

Since three images are recorded for one shot, the card will take longer to record the shot.

“BKT” stands for Bracketing.

3

Auto Lighting OptimizerN

If the image comes out dark or the contrast is low, the brightness and contrast can be corrected automatically. With JPEG images, the correction is done when the image is captured. For RAW images, it can be corrected with Digital Photo Professional (provided software).

The default setting is [Standard].

1

Select [Auto Lighting Optimizer].

Under the [2] tab, select [Auto

Lighting Optimizer], then press

<0>.

2

Set the correction setting.

Turn the <5> dial to select the setting, then press <0>.

B

Sample of corrected brightness

Depending on the shooting conditions, noise might increase.

If a setting other than [Disable] is set and you use exposure compensation, flash exposure compensation, or manual exposure to darken the exposure, the image might still come out bright. If you want the darker exposure, set this to [Disable] first.

In fully-automatic modes (1/C), [Standard] will be set automatically.

75

3

Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction

Due to the lens characteristics, the four corners of the picture might look darker. This is called lens light fall-off or drop in peripheral illumination.

With JPEG images, the correction is done when the image is captured.

For RAW images, it can be corrected with Digital Photo Professional

(provided software).

The default setting is [Enable].

1

Select [Peripheral illumin. correct.].

Under the [1] tab, select

[Peripheral illumin. correct.], then press <0>.

3 Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction

About the Lens Correction Data

The camera already contains lens peripheral illumination correction data for about 25 lenses. In step 2, if you select [Enable], the peripheral light correction will be applied automatically for any lens whose correction data has been registered in the camera.

With the EOS Utility (provided software), you can check which lenses have their correction data registered in the camera. You can also register the correction data for unregistered lenses. For details, see the

PDF Software Instruction Manual (on the CD-ROM) for EOS Utility.

For JPEG images already captured, lens peripheral illumination correction cannot be applied.

Depending on shooting conditions, noise might appear on the image periphery.

When using a third-party lens, setting the correction to [Disable] is recommended, even if [Correction data available] is displayed.

Lens peripheral illumination correction is applied even when an Extender is attached.

If the correction data for the attached lens has not been registered to the camera, the result will be the same as when the correction is set to

[Disable].

The correction amount applied will be slightly lower than the maximum correction amount settable with Digital Photo Professional (provided software).

If the lens does not have distance information, the correction amount will be lower.

The higher the ISO speed, the lower the correction amount will be.

About Folders

As with “100EOS7D” for example, the folder name starts with three digits

(folder number) followed by five alphanumeric characters. A folder can contain up to 9999 images (file No. 0001 - 9999). When a folder becomes full, a new folder with a higher one-up folder number is created automatically. Also, if manual reset (p.81) is executed, a new folder will be created automatically.

Folders numbered from 100 to 999 can be created.

Creating Folders with a Personal Computer

With the card open on the screen, create a new folder named “DCIM”. Open the DCIM folder and create as many folders as necessary to save and organize your images. The folder name must follow the “100ABC_D” format where the first three digits is 100 - 999 followed by five alphanumeric characters. The five characters can be a combination of upper- or lower-case letters from A to Z, numerals, and an underscore “_”. There can be no space in the folder name. Also, folder names cannot have the same three-digit number such as “100ABC_D” and “100W_XYZ” even if the letters are different.

File Numbering Methods

The 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.

The file number will appear on a computer in this format:

IMG_0001.JPG.

Select [File numbering].

Under the [5] tab, select [File

numbering], then press <0>.

2

Select the file numbering method.

Turn the <5> dial to select the desired method, then press <0>.

Continuous

Continues the file numbering sequence even after the card is replaced or a new folder is created.

Even after you replace the 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 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 use continuous file numbering, you should use a newly-formatted card each time.

3 File Numbering Methods

Auto Reset

Restarting the file numbering from 0001 each time the card is replaced or a new folder is created.

Whenever the 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 cards or folders. If the replacement 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 card each time.

File numbering is reset

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 when you want to use different folders for the images taken yesterday and the ones taken today, for example. After the manual reset, the file numbering returns to continuous or auto reset.

If the file number in folder No. 999 reaches 9999, shooting will not be possible even if the card still has storage capacity. The LCD monitor will display a message to replace the card. Replace with a new card.

For both JPEG and RAW images, the file name will start with “IMG_”. Movie file names will start with “MVI_”. The extension will be “.JPG” for JPEG images, “.CR2” for RAW images, and “.MOV” for movies.

Setting the Color SpaceN

The color space refers to the range of reproducible colors. With this camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or

Adobe RGB. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended.

In the fully-automatic modes (1/C), sRGB is set automatically.

1

Select [Color space].

Under the [2] tab, select [Color

space], then press <0>.

2

Set the desired color space.

Select [sRGB] or [Adobe RGB], then press <0>.

About Adobe RGB

This color space is mainly used for commercial printing and other industrial uses. This setting is not recommended if you do not know about image processing, Adobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File

System 2.0 (Exif 2.21). The image will look very subdued in the sRGB personal computer environment and with printers not compatible with

Design rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21). Post-processing of the image with software will therefore be required.

82

If the image is captured with the color space set to Adobe RGB, the file name will start with “_MG_” (first character is an underscore).

The ICC profile is not appended. The ICC profile is explained in the PDF

Software Instruction Manual on the CD-ROM.

Setting the AF and

Drive Modes

The 19 AF points in the viewfinder make AF shooting suitable for a wide variety of subjects and scenes.

You can also select the AF mode and drive mode best matching the shooting conditions and subject.

The M icon on the upper right of the page title indicates that the function can be used when the Mode Dial is set to

<d/s/f/a/F>.

In fully-automatic modes (1/C), the AF mode, AF point selection, and drive mode are set automatically.

One-Shot AF for Still Subjects

Suited for still subjects. When you press the shutter button halfway, the camera will focus only once.

AF point

Focus confirmation light

When focus is achieved, the AF point which achieved focus will be displayed, and the focus confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder will also light.

With evaluative metering, the exposure setting will be set at the same time focus is achieved.

While you hold down the shutter button halfway, the focus will be locked. You can then recompose the shot if desired.

In the d/s/f/a/F shooting modes, AF is also possible by pressing the <p> button.

If focus cannot be achieved, the focus confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder will blink. If this occurs, a picture cannot be taken even if the shutter button is pressed completely. Recompose the picture and try to focus again. Or see “When Autofocus Fails” (p.92).

If the [1 Beep] menu is set to [Off], the beeper will not sound when focus is achieved.

85

f : Selecting the AF ModeN

AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects

This AF mode is 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.

In the d/s/f/a/F shooting modes, AF is also possible by pressing the <p> button.

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.

AI Focus AF for Automatic Switching of AF Mode

AI Focus AF switches the AF mode from One-Shot AF to AI Servo AF automatically if the still subject starts moving.

After the subject is focused in the

One-Shot AF mode, if the subject starts moving, the camera will detect the movement and change the AF mode automatically to AI Servo AF.

86

When focus is achieved in the AI Focus AF mode with the Servo mode active, the beeper will sound softly. However, the focus confirmation light

<o> in the viewfinder will not light.

AF point (or zone) will be selected.

You can also use the <6> and

<5> dials to select the AF point. The

<6> dial selects an AF point in the horizontal direction, and the <5> dial selects an AF point in the vertical direction.

88

With [8C.Fn III -7: Manual AF pt. selec. pattern], you can set either [0:

Stops at AF area edges] or [1: Continuous] (p.212).

AF Area Selection Modes

The AF areas are explained starting with the smallest one.

(1) Spot AF (Manual selection)

C.Fn III -6

Although this is the same as single-point AF, the selected AF point <O> covers a smaller pinpoint area to focus. Effective for pinpoint focusing overlapping subjects such as an animal in a cage.

Since Spot AF covers a very small area, focusing might be difficult during hand-held shooting or for a moving subject.

(2) Single-point AF (Manual selection)

Select one AF point <S> to be used to focus.

(3) AF point expansion (Manual selection)

C.Fn III -6

The manually-selected AF point <S> and adjacent AF points <w> 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 focustrack 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 the expanded AF point, the expanded AF point <S> will also be displayed along with the manually-selected AF point <S>.

89

AF Area Selection Modes

(4) Zone AF (Manual selection of zone)

The 19 AF points are divided into five zones for focusing. All the AF points in the selected zone are used for the automatic selection of the

AF point. It makes achieving focus easier than with single-point AF or

AF point expansion and it is effective for moving subjects. However, since it is inclined to focus the nearest subject, focusing a specific target is harder than with single-point AF or AF point expansion.

With One-Shot AF, the AF point <S> which achieved focus will be displayed.

(5) 19-point AF auto selection

All the AF points are used to focus. Automatically set in fully-automatic modes (1/C).

With One-Shot AF, pressing the shutter button halfway will display the AF point(s) <S> which 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.88) AF point <S> is used first to achieve focus. This cannot be set in fully-automatic modes (1/C).

90

With 19-point AF and Zone AF, the active AF point will keep switching to track the subject in AI Servo AF mode. However, under certain shooting conditions (such as when the subject is small), it might not be able to track the subject. Also, in low temperatures, the tracking response is slower.

AF Area Selection Modes

If [8C.Fn III -12: Orientation linked AF point] is set to [1: Select

different AF points], you can set the AF area selection mode and manually-selected AF point (or zone in the case of Zone AF) separately for vertical and horizontal shooting (p.214).

If [8C.Fn III -10: Focus display in AI SERVO/MF] is set to [Disable], the active AF points <S> during AI Servo AF will not be displayed.

AF-Assist Beam with the Built-in Flash

Under low-light conditions, when you press the shutter button halfway, the built-in flash fires a brief burst of flashes. It illuminates the subject to enable easier autofocusing.

The built-in flash’s AF-assist beam is effective up to about 4 meters/13.1 feet.

In the d/s/f/a/F shooting modes, press the <I> button to popup the built-in flash. Then it will fire the AF-assist beam when necessary.

Lens’ Maximum Aperture and AF Sensitivity

With lenses whose maximum aperture is larger than f/5.6

With all AF points, cross-type AF sensitive to both vertical and horizontal lines is possible.

With lenses whose maximum aperture is larger than f/2.8*

With the center AF point, high-precision, cross-type AF sensitive to both vertical and horizontal lines is possible. The center AF point’s sensitivity to vertical and horizontal lines is about twice as sensitive as the other

AF points.

The remaining 18 AF points will work as cross-type points with lenses brighter than f/5.6.

* Except with the EF 28-80mm f/2.8-4L USM and EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro lenses.

91

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

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 one of the following:

(1) With One-Shot AF, focus an object at the same distance as the subject and lock the focus before recomposing (p.52).

(2) Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually.

MF: Manual Focusing

1

w Partial metering

Effective when the background is much brighter than the subject due to backlighting, etc. Partial metering covers about 9.4% of the viewfinder area at the center.

r Spot metering

This is for metering a specific spot of the subject or scene.

The metering is weighted at the center covering about

2.3% of the viewfinder area. When spot metering is set, the spot metering circle will be displayed in the viewfinder.

e Center-weighted average metering

The metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for the entire scene.

F: Bulb Exposures

When bulb is set, the shutter stays open while you hold down the shutter button completely, and closes when you let go of the shutter button. This is called bulb exposure. Use bulb exposures for night scenes, fireworks, the heavens, and other subjects requiring long exposures.

1

Set the Mode Dial to <F>.

2

Set the desired aperture.

While looking at the LCD panel, turn the <6> or <5> dial.

Elapsed exposure time

3

Take the picture.

While you hold down the shutter button, the exposure will continue.

X The elapsed exposure time will be displayed on the LCD panel.

Since bulb exposures produce more noise than usual, the image might look a little grainy.

When [8C.Fn II -1: Long exp. noise reduction] is set to [1: Auto] or

[2: On], noise generated by the bulb exposure can be reduced (p.208).

For bulb exposures, using the Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer Remote

Controller TC-80N3 (both sold separately) is recommended.

You can also use a remote controller (sold separately, p.110) for bulb exposures. When you press the remote controller’s transmit button, the bulb exposure will start immediately or 2 sec. later. Press the button again to stop the bulb exposure.

107

F: Bulb Exposures

Using the Eyepiece Cover

If you take a picture without looking at the viewfinder, light entering the eyepiece can throw off the exposure. To prevent this, use the eyepiece cover (p.23) attached to the camera strap. During Live View shooting and movie shooting, attaching the eyepiece cover is unnecessary.

1

Remove the eyecup.

While grasping both sides of the eyecup, slide it upward to remove.

2

Attach the eyepiece cover.

Slide the eyepiece cover down into the eyepiece groove to attach it.

Connecting the Remote Switch

You can connect the Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer Remote

Controller TC-80N3 (both sold separately) or any EOS accessory equipped with an N3-type terminal to the camera and shoot with it.

To operate the accessory, refer to its instruction manual.

1

Open the terminal cover.

2

Connect the plug to the remote control terminal.

Connect the plug as shown in the illustration.

To disconnect the plug, grasp the plug’s silver part and pull out.

108

Mirror LockupN

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

When [8C.Fn III -13: Mirror lockup] is set to [1: Enable] (p.215), shooting with mirror lockup will be possible.

1

Focus the subject, press the shutter button completely and let go of it.

X The mirror will swing up.

2

Press the shutter button completely again.

X The picture is taken and the mirror goes back down.

In very bright light such as at the beach or 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 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 self-timer countdown, there will be a shutter-release sound.

However, 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 set to continuous.

When the self-timer is set to <Q> or <k>, 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. Pressing the shutter button completely again locks up the mirror again.

For mirror lockup shots, using the Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer

Remote Controller TC-80N3 (both sold separately) is recommended.

You can also lockup the mirror and shoot with a remote controller (sold separately, p.110). With Remote Controller RC-1, setting it to a 2-sec. delay is recommended for shooting.

109

R Remote Control Shooting

RC-1 RC-5

With Remote Controller RC-1 or RC-5 (both sold separately), you can shoot remotely up to about 5 meters/16.4 feet from the camera. RC-1 enables you to shoot immediately or after a 2-sec. delay, and RC-

5 has a 2-sec. delay.

D Using the Built-in Flash

In the d/s/f/a/F shooting modes, you can press the <D> button to pop-up and fire the built-in flash

whenever desired. If the built-in flash has popped up, you can push it back down with your fingers. In the <1> (Full

Auto) mode, the built-in flash fires automatically (p.50). In the <C> mode, you can set it to fire automatically or manually (p.53).

Using flash in the d/s/f/a/F shooting modes will set the shutter speed and aperture as shown below. In any shooting mode, E-TTL II autoflash control will take effect to suit the manually- or automatically-set aperture.

For close subjects, the subject should be at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away when using flash.

Detach the lens hood and keep at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away from the subject.

If the lens has a hood attached or you are too close to the subject, the bottom of the picture might look dark due to the obstructed flash. If you use a telephoto lens or a fast lens and the built-in flash is still partially obstructed, use an EX-series Speedlite (sold separately).

3 Using Red-eye Reduction

Using the red-eye reduction lamp before taking a flash picture can reduce red eye.

Under the [1] tab, select [Red-eye

On/Off], then press <0>. Select

[On], then press <0>.

For flash photography, when you press the shutter button halfway, the red-eye reduction lamp will light. Then when you press the shutter button completely, the picture will be taken.

112

The red-eye reduction feature is most effective when the subject looks at the redeye reduction lamp, when the room is well lit, or when you go closer to the subject.

When you press the shutter button halfway, the display on the viewfinder bottom will gradually turn off. For best results, take the picture after this display turns off.

The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies depending on the subject.

3

Take the picture.

If the [2 Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.75) is set to anything other than

[Disable], the image may still look bright even if a darker flash exposure has been set.

If you set flash exposure compensation with both the camera and EX-series

Speedlite, the Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation setting will override the camera’s. If you set flash exposure compensation with an EX-series Speedlite, any flash exposure compensation set with the camera will not take effect.

The exposure compensation amount will remain in effect even after you set the power switch to <2>.

The camera can also be used to set the EX-series Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation in the same way as with the Speedlite.

You can select the flash mode to suit your desired flash shooting.

[E-TTL II] is the standard mode of

EX-series Speedlites for automatic flash shooting.

[Manual flash] is for advanced users who want to set the [Flash output]

(1/1 to 1/128) themselves.

[MULTI flash] is for advanced users who want to set the [Flash output],

[Frequency], and [Flash count] themselves.

Regarding other flash modes, refer to your Speedlite’s instruction manual.

116

3 Setting the FlashN

To prevent the flash from overheating and degrading, avoid firing the MULTI flash more than 10 consecutive times. If you fire the flash 10 times, allow the flash to rest for at least 10 min. before firing the flash again. Some EX-series

Speedlites will automatically stop firing after 10 times to protect the flash. If this happens, let the flash rest for at least 15 min.

Shutter sync.

Normally, set this to [1st curtain] so that the flash fires immediately after the exposure starts.

If [2nd curtain] is set, the flash will fire right before the exposure ends. When this is combined with a slow sync speed, you can create a trail of light such as from car headlights at night. With 2nd curtain sync, two flashes will be fired, once when you press the shutter button completely, and once immediately before the exposure ends.

However, with shutter speeds faster than 1/30 sec., the 1st curtain sync will automatically take effect.

If an external Speedlite is attached, you can also set [Hi-speed]. For details, see the Speedlite’s instruction manual.

Flash exposure compensation

See “y Flash Exposure Compensation” on page 113.

E-TTL II

For normal flash exposures, set it to [Evaluative].

If [Average] is set, the flash exposure will be averaged for the entire metered scene as with an external metering flash. Since flash exposure compensation may be necessary depending on the scene, this setting is for advanced users.

Wireless setting

See “Using Wireless Flash” on page 119.

External Speedlites

EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlites

Basically operates like a built-in flash for easy operation.

When an EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) is attached to the camera, almost all the autoflash control is done by the camera. In other words, it is like a high-output flash attached externally in place of the built-in flash.

For detailed instructions, see the EX-series Speedlite’s instruction

manual. This camera is a Type-A camera that can use all the features of EX-series Speedlites.

Shoe-mount Speedlites Macro Lites

With an EX-series Speedlite not compatible with flash function settings

(p.115), only [Flash exp. comp] and [E-TTL II] can be set for [External

flash func. setting].

(Certain EX-series Speedlites also enable [Shutter sync.] to be set.)

If the flash metering mode is set to TTL autoflash with the Speedlite’s

Custom Function, the flash will fire at full output only.

Canon Speedlites other than the EX-series

With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set in TTL or A-TTL autoflash mode, the flash can be fired at full output only.

Set the camera’s shooting mode to <a> (manual exposure) or

<f> (aperture-priority AE) and adjust the aperture setting before shooting.

When using a Speedlite which has manual flash mode, shoot in the manual flash mode.

129

External Speedlites

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 studio flash units, since the flash duration is longer than compact flash units, set the sync speed within 1/60 sec. to 1/30 sec. Be sure to test the flash synchronization before shooting.

PC Terminal

The camera’s PC terminal can be used with flash units having a sync cord. The PC terminal is threaded to prevent inadvertent disconnection.

The camera’s PC terminal has no polarity. You can connect any sync cord regardless of its polarity.

Cautions for Live View shooting

If you use a non-Canon flash with Live View shooting, set [z Silent

shoot.] to [Disable] (p.137). The flash will not fire if it is set to [Mode 1] or [Mode 2].

If the camera is used with a flash unit or flash accessory dedicated to another camera brand, the camera may not operate properly and malfunction may result.

Do not connect to the camera’s PC terminal any flash unit requiring 250

V or more.

Do not attach a high-voltage flash unit on the camera’s hot shoe. It might not fire.

130

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 the picture on the camera’s LCD monitor. This is called “Live View shooting.”

Live View shooting is enabled by setting the Live View shooting/

Movie shooting switch to <A>.

Live View shooting is effective for still subjects which do not move.

If you handhold the camera and shoot while viewing the

LCD monitor, camera shake can cause blurred images.

Using a tripod is recommended.

Notes About the Live View Image

Under low or bright light conditions, the Live View image might not reflect the brightness of the captured image.

If the light source within the image changes, the screen might flicker. If this happens, stop and resume the Live View shooting under the actual light source to be used.

If you point the camera in a different direction, it might throw off the Live

View image’s correct brightness momentarily. Wait until the brightness level stabilizes before shooting.

If there is a very bright light source in the picture, such as the sun, the bright area might appear black on the LCD monitor. However, the actual captured image will correctly show the bright area.

In low light, if you set the [6 LCD brightness] to a bright setting, chrominance noise may appear in the Live View image. However, the chrominance noise will not be recorded in the captured image.

When you magnify the image, the image sharpness may look more pronounced than it really is.

About the <E> icon

If Live View shooting is used under direct sunlight or in other hot environments, the <E> icon (warning for the camera’s high internal temperature) may appear on the screen. If Live View shooting continues with a high internal temperature, it may degrade image quality. You should therefore stop Live View shooting if the warning icon appears.

If Live View shooting continues while the <E> warning icon is displayed and the camera’s internal temperature increases, the Live View shooting will stop automatically. Live View shooting will be disabled until the camera’s internal temperature decreases.

Notes About the Shooting Results

When you shoot continuously with the Live View function for a long period, the camera’s internal temperature may increase and it can degrade image quality. Terminate Live View shooting when not shooting images.

Before taking a long exposure, stop Live View shooting temporarily and wait several minutes before shooting. This is to prevent image degradation.

Live View shooting in high temperatures and at high ISO speeds may cause noise or irregular colors.

When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (horizontal banding, dots of light, etc.) may appear.

If you take the picture during magnified view, the exposure might not come out as desired. Return to the normal view before taking the picture.

During the magnified view, the shutter speed and aperture will be displayed in red. Even if you take the picture during magnified view, the image will be captured in the normal view.

Custom Function Notes

During Live View shooting, certain Custom Function settings will be disabled (p.205).

If the [2 Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.75) menu is set to anything other than [Disable], the image may look bright even if a decreased exposure compensation or flash exposure compensation has been set.

Notes About Lenses and Flash

The focus preset feature on super telephoto lenses cannot be used.

FE lock is not possible when the built-in flash or an external Speedlite is used. Modeling flash and test flash will not fire (except for wireless flash shooting) if an external Speedlite is used.

Do not connect the external microphone IN terminal to anything other than an external microphone.

Autofocusing during movie shooting is not recommended since it might momentarily throw the focus way off or change the exposure. Even if the

AF mode has been set to [Quick mode], it will switch to the Live mode during movie shooting.

If movie shooting is not possible due to the insufficient remaining capacity of the card, the movie shooting remaining time (p.152) will be displayed in red.

If you use a card having a slow writing speed, a five-level indicator might 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.

If the card has a fast writing speed, the indicator will either not appear or the level (if displayed) will hardly go upward.

Indicator

First, shoot a few test movies to see if the card can write fast enough.

If you take still photos during the movie shooting, the movie shooting might stop. If the still image recording quality has been set low, the movie shooting might continue instead.

When movie shooting is set, certain Custom Function settings will be disabled (p.205).

Notes on Movie Shooting

Camera’s internal temperature increase and image degradation

If you continue to shoot movies for a prolonged period, the camera’s internal temperature will increase. This can degrade the image quality.

While not shooting, turn off the power.

If you shoot under direct sunlight or high-temperature conditions, the

<E> icon (high internal temperature warning) may appear on the screen. If you keep shooting a movie with the warning icon displayed, the image quality might degrade. You should turn off the power and allow the camera to rest for a while.

If the <E> icon is displayed and you keep shooting movies until the camera’s internal temperature increases further, the movie shooting will 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.

Playback and TV connection

If the brightness changes during movie shooting, that part might freeze momentarily.

If the camera is connected to a TV set with an HDMI cable (p.177), pressing the <B> button during movie shooting will not display the

INFO screen.

If you connect the camera to a TV set (p.176-177) and shoot a movie, the TV will not output any sound during the shooting. However, the sound will be properly recorded.

About the Histogram

The brightness histogram display shows the exposure level distribution and overall brightness. The RGB histogram display is for checking the color saturation and gradation. The display can be switched with the [4 Histogram] menu option.

[Brightness] Display

This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of the image’s brightness level. The horizontal axis indicates the brightness level (darker on the left and brighter on the right), while the vertical axis indicates how many pixels exist for each brightness level. The more pixels there are toward the left, the darker the image. And the

Sample Histograms

Dark image 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

[RGB] Display

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

The horizontal axis indicates the color’s brightness level (darker on the left and brighter on the right), while the vertical axis indicates how many pixels exist for each color brightness level. The more pixels there are toward the left, the darker and less prominent the color. And the more pixels there are toward the right, the brighter and denser the color. If there are too many pixels on the left, the respective color information will be lacking. And if there are too many pixels on the right, the color will be too saturated with no detail. By checking the image’s RGB histogram, you can see the color’s saturation and gradation condition and white balance inclination.

k Enjoying Movies

Basically, there are the following three ways to playback the movies you shot.

Playback on a TV set

(p.176, 177)

Use the provided AV cable or an HDMI

Cable HTC-100 (sold separately) to connect the camera to a TV set. Then you can playback the captured movies and photos on the TV.

If you have a High-Definition TV set and connect your camera to it with an HDMI cable, you can watch Full HD (Full High-

Definition 1920x1080) and HD (High-

Definition 1280x720) movies with higher image quality.

Movies on a card can be played only by devices compatible with MOV files.

Since hard disk recorders do not have an HDMI IN terminal, the camera cannot be connected with an HDMI cable.

Even if the camera is connected to a hard disk recorder with a USB cable, movies and photos cannot be played nor saved.

Playback on the Camera’s LCD Monitor

(p.171-175)

You can playback the movie on the camera’s LCD monitor and even edit out the first and last scenes. You can also playback the photos and movies recorded in the card as an automatic slide show.

A movie edited with a personal computer cannot be rewritten to the card and played back with the camera.

169

k Enjoying Movies

Playback and Editing with a Personal Computer

(See the PDF file instruction manual for ZoomBrowser EX/ImageBrowser)

The movie files recorded in the card can be transferred to a personal computer and played or edited with ZoomBrowser

EX/ImageBrowser (provided software).

You can also extract a single frame from a movie and save it as a still photo.

To have the movie playback smoothly on a personal computer, the personal computer must be a high-performance model. Regarding the hardware requirements for ZoomBrowser EX/ImageBrowser, see the

PDF file instruction manual.

If you want to use commercially-available software to playback or edit the movies, be sure it is compatible with MOV files. For details on commercially-available software, inquire the software maker.

Sensor Cleaning

The camera has a Self Cleaning Sensor Unit attached to the image sensor’s front layer (low-pass filter) to shake off dust automatically.

The Dust Delete Data can also be appended to the image so that the dust spots remaining can be erased automatically by 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.

- 1.0 ft., fill the viewfinder with a patternless, solid-white object and take a picture.

X The picture will be taken in the aperture-priority AE mode with an aperture of f/22.

Since the image will not be saved, the data can still be obtained even if there is no card in the camera.

X When the picture is taken, the camera will start obtaining the Dust Delete Data.

When the Dust Delete Data is obtained, a message will appear.

Select [OK], and the menu will reappear.

If the data was not obtained successfully, a message to that effect will appear. Follow the “Preparation” procedure on the preceding page, then select [OK]. Take the picture again.

About the Dust Delete Data

After the Dust Delete Data is obtained, it is appended to all the JPEG and RAW images captured thereafter. Before an important shoot, you should update the Dust Delete Data by obtaining it again.

To erase dust spots automatically with the provided software, see the

PDF Software Instruction Manual on the CD-ROM.

The Dust Delete Data appended to the image is so small that it hardly affects the image file size.

186

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 CleaningN

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

The surface of the image sensor is extremely delicate. If the sensor needs to be cleaned directly, having it done by a Canon

• Opening the card slot cover.

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 is recommended.

0: Disable

1: Enable (Tv/Av)

This works in the shutter-priority AE (s) and aperture-priority AE (f) modes. When the subject’s brightness changes erratically and the correct autoexposure cannot be obtained, the camera will change the exposure setting automatically to obtain a correct exposure.

C.Fn I -7 Flash sync. speed in Av mode

0: Auto

Normally, the sync speed will be set automatically within 1/250 sec. to

30 sec. High-speed sync can also take effect.

1: 1/250-1/60 sec. auto

When flash is used with aperture-priority AE (f), this prevents a slow flash-sync speed from being set automatically in low-light conditions. It is effective for preventing subject blur and camera shake. However, while the subject will be properly exposed with the flash, the background will come out dark.

2: 1/250 sec. (fixed)

The flash-sync speed is fixed to 1/250 sec. This more effectively prevents subject blur and camera shake than with setting 1. However, the background will come out darker than with setting 1.

C.Fn II: Image

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 of 1 sec. or longer. The

[On] setting may be effective for noise that cannot be detected or reduced with the [Auto] setting.

With setting 1 and 2, after the picture is taken, the noise reduction process may take the same amount of time as the exposure. You cannot take another picture until the noise reduction process is completed.

At ISO 1600 and higher, noise might be more pronounced with setting 2 than with setting 0 or 1.

With setting 2, if a long exposure is used during Live View shooting,

“BUSY” will be displayed and the Live View display will not appear until the noise reduction process is completed. (You cannot take another picture.)

C.Fn II -2 High ISO speed noise reduction

Reduces the noise generated in the image. Although noise reduction is applied at all ISO speeds, it is particularly effective at high ISO speeds. At low ISO speeds, the noise in the shadow areas is further reduced. Change the setting to suit the noise level.

0: Standard 2: Strong

1: Low 3: Disable

With setting 2, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will greatly decrease.

If you playback a RAW or RAW+JPEG image with the camera or print the image directly, the effect of the high ISO speed noise reduction may look minimal. You can check the noise reduction effect or print noisereduced images with Digital Photo Professional (provided software).

C.Fn III -1 AI Servo tracking sensitivity

During focusing in AI Servo AF mode, the AF sensitivity for tracking subjects (or obstacles) moving into AF points can be set to one of five levels.

If it is set toward [Slow], interruptions by any obstacles will be less disruptive. It makes it easier to keep tracking the target subject.

If it is set toward [Fast], it will be easier to focus any subjects which suddenly enter the picture from the side. Convenient when you want to successively photograph multiple subjects located at random distances.

3 Custom Function SettingsN

C.Fn III -2 AI Servo 1st/2nd image priority

For the AI Servo AF and continuous shooting modes, you can change the

Servo’s operation characteristics and shutter-release timing.

0: AF priority/Tracking priority

For the first shot, focusing the subject is given priority. For the 2nd and following shots during continuous shooting, focus-tracking of the subject is given priority.

1: AF priority/Drive speed priority

For the first shot, focusing the subject is given priority. During continuous shooting, the continuous shooting speed is given priority over the focustracking of the subject.

2: Release/Drive speed priority

For the first shot, shutter release is given priority over focusing the subject. During continuous shooting, the continuous shooting speed is given priority more than with setting 1.

3: Release/Tracking priority

For the first shot, shutter release is given priority over focusing the subject. For the 2nd and following shots during continuous shooting, focus-tracking of the subject is given priority.

C.Fn III -3 AI Servo AF tracking method

In the AI Servo AF mode while you are focus-tracking a subject, the camera can either continue focusing the target subject even if a closer subject

(closer than at the main focus point) suddenly appears in the picture, or the camera can switch to focus the closer subject.

* Main focus point: With 19-point AF auto selection and AF point expansion, this is the first AF point which started the focusing. With Zone AF, this is the active AF point.

0: Main focus point priority

The active AF point will switch to the main focus point and start focusing the closer subject. Convenient when you always want to focus the closest subject.

1: Continuous AF track priority

Any closer subject appearing in the picture will be ignored as an obstruction. The main focus point does not take priority, so the tracking of the target subject can continue and switch to an adjacent AF point based on the preceding focusing result. Convenient when obstacles such as telephone poles go in front of the target subject.

Troubleshooting Guide

If a problem occurs, 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.

If the battery’s remaining capacity (p.230) is 94% or higher, the battery will not be recharged.

Do not recharge any battery pack other than genuine Canon Battery Pack LP-E6.

The charger’s lamp blinks at high speed.

If there is a problem with the battery charger or battery pack or if communication with the battery pack (non-Canon battery packs) is not possible, the protective circuit will terminate the charging and the orange lamp will blink quickly at a regular interval. If there is a problem with the battery charger or battery pack, unplug the charger’s power plug from the power outlet. Detach and reattach the battery pack to the charger. Wait 2 to 3 minutes, then reconnect the power plug to the power outlet. If the problem persists, contact your dealer or nearest Canon Service Center.

The charger’s lamp does not blink.

If the internal temperature of the battery pack attached to the charger is high, the charger will not charge the battery for safety reasons (lamp off). During the charging, if the battery’s temperature becomes high for any reason, the charging will stop automatically (lamp blinks). When the battery temperature goes down, the charging will resume automatically.

The camera does not operate even when the power switch is set to <1>.

The battery is not properly installed in the camera (p.26).

Recharge the battery (p.24).

Make sure the battery compartment cover is closed (p.26).

Make sure the card slot cover is closed (p.29).

243

Troubleshooting Guide

The access lamp still blinks even when the power switch is set to <2>.

If the power is cut off while an image is being recorded to the card, the access lamp will still continue to light/blink for a few seconds. When the image recording is completed, the power will turn off automatically.

The battery becomes exhausted quickly.

Use a fully-charged battery (p.24).

The battery performance might have degraded. See the [7 Battery

info.] menu to check the battery’s performance level (p.230). If the battery performance is poor, replace the battery pack with a new one.

If you keep displaying the Quick Control screen (p.38) or shooting Live

View shooting or movie shooting (p.131, 149) for a prolonged period, the number of possible shots will decrease.

The camera turns off by itself.

Auto power off is in effect. If you do not want auto power off to take effect, set [5 Auto power off] to [Off].

Shooting-Related Problems

No images can be shot or recorded.

The card is not properly inserted (p.29).

If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to make room (p.29, 179).

If you try to focus in 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.35, 92).

The viewfinder is dark.

Install a recharged battery pack in the camera (p.26).

244

Troubleshooting Guide

The image is out of focus.

Set the lens focus mode switch to <AF> (p.31).

To prevent camera shake, hold the camera still and press the shutter button gently (p.34, 35).

If the lens has an Image Stabilizer, set the IS switch to <1>.

The card cannot be used.

If a card error message is displayed, see page 30 or 249.

The maximum burst during continuous shooting is lower.

Set [8C.Fn II -2: High ISO speed noise reduction] to one of the following settings: [Standard/Low/Disable]. If it is set to [Strong], the maximum burst during continuous shooting will decrease (p.208).

If you shoot a subject which has fine detail (field of grass, etc.), the file size will be larger and the actual maximum burst will be lower than the number mentioned on page 59.

ISO 100 cannot be set.

If [8C.Fn II -3: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable], ISO 100 cannot be set. If [Disable] is set, ISO 100 can be set (p.209).

When I use the <f> mode with flash, the shutter speed becomes slow.

If you shoot at night when the background is dark, the shutter speed becomes slow automatically (slow-sync shooting) so that both the subject and background are properly exposed. If you do not want a slow shutter speed to be set, set [8C.Fn I -7: Flash sync. speed in

Av mode] to 1 or 2 (p.207).

245

Troubleshooting Guide

The built-in flash does not fire.

If you shoot continuously with the built-in flash at short intervals, the flash might stop operating to protect the flash unit.

The external flash does not fire.

Make sure the external flash (or PC sync cord) is securely attached to the camera.

If you use a non-Canon flash with Live View shooting, set the [z

Silent shoot.] menu to [Disable] (p.137).

The camera makes a noise when it is shaken.

The built-in flash’s pop-up mechanism moves slightly. This is normal.

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.133).

Live View shooting is not possible.

For Live View shooting, use a memory card (a hard disk-type card is not recommended). A hard disk-type card requires a lower temperature range for operation than normal memory cards. If the temperature gets too high, the Live View shooting may stop temporarily to prevent damage to the card’s hard disk. When the camera’s internal temperature decreases, you can resume Live View shooting (p.146).

The camera button/dial’s function has changed.

Check the setting with [8C.Fn IV -1: Custom Controls] (p.215).

246

Troubleshooting Guide

The movie shooting terminates by itself.

If the card’s writing speed is slow, movie shooting may stop automatically. Use a card with a read/write speed of at least 8 MB per sec. To find out the card’s read/write speed, see the card manufacturer’s Web site.

If the movie file size reaches 4 GB or if the movie recording time reaches 29 min. 59 sec., movie shooting will stop automatically.

When the movie is played, camera operation noise can be heard.

If you operate the camera’s dial or lens during movie shooting, the respective operation noise will also be recorded. Use an external microphone (commercially available) (p.158).

Display & Operation Problems

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.

In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow or might look black. It will return to normal at room temperature.

The menu screen shows few tabs and options.

In fully-automatic modes (1/C), some tabs and options are not displayed. Set the shooting mode to d/s/f/a/F (p.40).

247

Troubleshooting Guide

Part of the image blinks in black.

The [4 Highlight alert] menu option is set to [Enable] (p.163).

A red box is displayed on the image.

The [4 AF point disp.] menu option is set to [Enable] (p.163).

The file name’s first character is an underscore (“_MG_”).

Set the color space to sRGB. If Adobe RGB is set, the first character will be an underscore (p.82).

The file numbering does not start from 0001.

If you use a card which already has images recorded, the file numbering might start from the last image in the card (p.80).

The shooting date and time displayed is incorrect.

The correct date and time has not been set (p.42).

No image appears on the TV screen.

Make sure the AV cable or HDMI cable’s plug is connected all the way in (p.176, 177).

Set the video OUT format (NTSC/PAL) to the same video format as the TV (p.240).

Use the AV cable that came with the camera (p.176).

Printing-Related Problems

There are fewer printing effects than listed in the instruction manual.

What the screen displays may differ depending on the printer. This instruction manual lists all the printing effects available (p.194).

248

Error Codes

Error No.

If there is a problem with the camera, an error message will appear. Follow the onscreen instructions.

Safety Warnings

Follow these safeguards and use the equipment properly to prevent injury, death, and material damage.

Preventing Serious Injury or Death

• To prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, and explosions, follow the safeguards below:

- Do not use any batteries, power sources, and accessories not specified in this booklet. Do not use any home-made or modified batteries.

- Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery pack or back-up battery. Do 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 child swallows the battery, consult a physician immediately. (Battery chemicals may harm the stomach and intestines.)

• When disposing of a battery pack or back-up battery, insulate the electrical contacts with tape to prevent contact with other metallic objects 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 charger 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.

261

• 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.

- Do not scratch, cut, or excessively bend the cord or put a heavy object on the cord.

Also do not twist or tie the cords.

- Do not connect too many power plugs to the same power outlet.

- Do not use a cord whose insulation has been damaged.

• Occasionally unplug the power plug and use a dry cloth to clean off the dust around the power outlet. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power outlet may become moist and short-circuit the outlet to cause a fire.

Preventing Injury or Equipment 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.

• Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the equipment.

Doing so may cause fire or a health hazard.

If the product does not work properly or requires repair, contact your dealer or your nearest Canon Service Center.
