Handling Cautions mum N Camera Care and Storage * The camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical shock. « The camera is nol waterproof and should not be used in wet conditions or underwater. If the camera gets wet, take it to your nearest Canon dealer as soon as possible. If small amounts of water splash onto the camera, wipe it with a clean dry cloth. If the camera is exposed to sally air, wipe it thoroughly with a slightly damp cloth, * Do not leave the camera in places prone to excessive heat such as in a car on a sunny day. Excessive heat can cause the camera 10 malfunction. * The camera contains precisión electronic circuitry. Never attempt to disassemble the camera. « Use only a blower brush to blow away any dust on the lens, eyepiece, mirror, focusing screen, film compartment, etc. Do not clean the camera body or lens with any cleaner containing an organic solvent. For stubborn dirt, consult your nearest Canon dealer. « The shutter curtains are extremely thin. Use only a blower to clean them. Be careful not lo blow air too forcefully on the shutter curtains. The shuller curtains can be easily deformed or damaged. Also, when loading and unloading film, be careful not to touch the shutter curtains, * Do not touch the electrical contacts with your fingers. Otherwise corrosion may develop on the contacts, resulting in improper camera operation. * |! the camera is not to be used for an extended period, remove the battery. Store the camera in a well-ventilated, cool, dry place, During the storage period, press the shutter button to release the shutter a few times once in a while. * Avoid storing the camera in a laboratory, cabinet, etc., where corrosive chemicals are present. TEE 1 == Tru TE ACA re ta 1 a " CI A ANT = * |f you have not used the camera for some time or are planning to take shots you will not want to lose (overseas vacation, etc.), have the camera checked by your Canon dealer beforehand, or check for yourself that the camera components are working properly. LCD Displays By their nature, LCD displays react more slowly at low temperatures, and may appear dark at high temperatures. The display will return to normal at room temperature. Batteries * Before installing the batteries, wipe the battery contacts to remove any fingerprints and smudges. This is to prevent faulty connections and corrosion. * Never disassemble or recharge the batteries. Also. never store a battery in high-temperature places or short circuit the battery contacts or toss a battery into a fire. * Although the batteries work well even at low temperatures, battery performance may decline slightly at freezing temperatures, In such a case, keep spare batteries warm in a pocket, etc., and use and warm the batteries alternately. How Low Battery Levels Affect Camera Operation On the LCD panel, if the <£ J> icon blinks or it is not displayed, a proper exposure can still be obtained as long as the shutter releases. However, when the battery level is low, film advance and auto rewind might stop midway or not work at all and <d > icon may blink on the LCD panel. After the batteries are replaced with new ones, film advance will be possible and film rewind can resume by pressing the <@&a32> button. Lens Electrical Contacts After detaching the lens from the camera, put on the lens caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.

Obtain batteries separately. The camera uses two == lithium batteries. E 1 Open the battery compartment | cover, ® Slide the release lever in the direction shown by the arrow in the diagram, and open the cover. , Install the batteries. e Make sure the battery contacts (+ and =) are properly oriented as shown. e Do not mix old and new batteries. Close the battery compartment cover. e Press the cover until it snaps shut. e The date and time must be set. See page 26. (DATE Model only) Fi For places where CR2 batteries may not be easily available, take spare batteries with you. Also carry spare batteries for extended shooling sessions. Checking the Battery Level mms Check the battery level after replacing the batteries and before using the camera. Turn the Mode Dial to a shooting mode. e The camera will then turn on and the LCD panel will display one of the following battery level mark: == : Battery level OK. «= : The battery level is low. Keep spare batteries handy. 8 - The batteries will soon be completely exhausted. —-- : Replace the balleries.

Gl * Keep the removed caps where you will not lose them. * <AF> stands for “Auto Focus” and <MF> stands for “Manual Focus." * An EF-5 lens cannot be attached to the camera. How the Shutter Button Works mm The shutter button has two stages. You can press it down halfway or fully. The two levels of shutter button operation are às follows: When it is pressed halfway: e Pressing the shutter button down halfway activates autofocusing (AF), and also activates the automatic exposure (AE) mechanism and sets the shutter speed and aperture value. e The exposure (the combination of shutter speed and aperture value) appears on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder (4). When it is pressed fully: e The shutter is released to take the picture and the film advances by one frame. ús If an Extender (optional) is used and the maximum aperture (the lowest number) of the lens becomes smaller than f/5.6, autofocusing will not operate. À Camera movement during the moment of exposure is called camera shake. Camera shake can cause blurred pictures, To prevent blurred pictures due to camera shake: * Hold the camera steady. . Firmly grasp the camera grip with your right hand, and press your both elbows lightly against your body. - Hold the lens at the bottom with your left hand. - Press the camera against your face and look through the viewfinder. - To maintain a stable stance, place one foot in front of the other instead of lining up both feet. * Use your finger tip to touch the shutter button, grasp the camera with your entire right hand, then press the shutter button gently. 14 @ Loading and Unloading Film Loading Film After you load the film, the camera first winds the entire roll onto the camera's take-up spool. With DX-coded film, the camera automatically sets the film's ISO speed. Then each time a picture is taken, one frame of film is rewound back into the film cartridge. The - frame counter shows always number of shots remaining. Turn the Mode Dial to any setting except < C3 >. Open the back cover. e Slide down the back cover release lever and open the back. Insert the film cartridge at a slight angle. Align the film leader edge with the < À > mark. ® Hold down the film cartridge while pulling out the film leader. If you pull out the film leader too much, rewind it back into the film cartridge. Close the back cover. ® Close the back cover until it snaps shut. » Film prewind will start and there will be a shutter-release sound about ЧЕ 10 sec. later. The < E) > icon and ны. x ; » frame count will also be displayed on the LCD panel. » During the film prewind, the ISO 50 + speed will be displayed on the LCD NA ; panel. E Loading and Unloading Film === Y * The shutter curtains have been manufactured with very high precision, Never touch them with your fingers. When loading film, do not touch or damage the curtains with your fingers or film. * In hot and humid environments, do not remove the film packaging until you are ready to load the film. « Infrared film cannot be used with this camera. ВБ If the film is not loaded properly. the < @ = icon will blink on the LCD panel and the shutter will not work. Reload the film cartridge properly. Unloading Film After the film's last frame is exposed, the camera rewinds the film automatically. = Aîter the film is rewound, there will be a shutter-release sound.

Multiple exposures - Program shift - Built-in flash manual firing and - Exposure compensation flash OFF - AEB - FE lock, high-speed sync (with EX-series Speediites) About Program Shift * In the Program AE mode, you can freely change the shutter speed and aperture value combination (program) set by the camera while retaining the same exposure. This is called program shift. * To shift the program, press the shutter button halfway and turn the <> dial until the desired shutter speed or aperture value is displayed. * Program shift is canceled automatically after the picture is taken. * Program shift cannot be set when the built-in flash is used. 33 Tv Shutter-Priority AE EEE In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture value automatically to suit the subject brightness. A fast shutter speed can freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject and a slow shutter speed can blur the subject to give the impression of motion. * <TV> stands for Time value which is the shutter speed. 7 7 1 Turn the Mode Dial to <Tv >. : Select the desired shutter ~~ speed. e Turn the <> dial. * The shutter speed can be set in half-stop increments. 3 Focus the subject. » The aperture value is set automatically. 4 Check the viewfinder display and take the picture. e |f the aperture value display is not blinking, a correct exposure will be obtained. U Ea * |f the maximum aperture value blinks, it indicates underexposure. Turn the <5> dial to set a slower shutter speed until the blinking stops. ETE « If the minimum aperture value blinks, it indicates overexposure. Turn the <> dial to set a faster shutter speed until the blinking stops. À] Shutter Speed Display The shutter speeds from “ 2000" to “ 2" indicate the denominator of the fractional shutter speed. For example, “ 125 " indicates 1/125 sec. Also, “ 0" " indicates 0.7 sec, and “I5'' " indicates 15 sec. 34 Av Aperture-Priority AE mms In this mode, you set the desired aperture value and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the subject brightness. The larger or brighter the aperture value (lower number) the more blurred the background will become. This effect is ideal for portraits. The smaller or darker the aperture value (higher f/number), the clearer the focus will be for both near and far objects (wider depth of field). L < Av> stands for aperture value. 1 Turn the Mode Dial to < Av >. Select the desired aperture value. e Turn the <> dial. ® The aperture value can be set in half-stop increments. Focus the subject. » The shutter speed is set automatically. EEE 4 Check the viewfinder display 7 and take the picture, e |f the shutter speed display does not blink, a correct exposure will be obtained. 0 » |f the slowest shutter speed blinks, it indicates EE underexposure. In such a case, tum the </5> dial to set a larger aperture value (smaller ffnumber) until the shutter speed display stops blinking. « |f the fastest shutter speed blinks, it indicates ETE overexposure. In such a case, turn the <i> dial to set a smaller aperture value (larger ffnumber) until the shutter speed display stops blinking. Е Aperture Value Display The larger the f/number, the smaller the diaphragm will be. The aperture value display will differ depending on the lens. When no lens is attached to the camera, “ 00” will be display for the aperture value. 35 M Manual Exposure msm" In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture value as desired. To determine the exposure, refer to the exposure level indicator in the viewfinder or use a handheld exposure meter. This method is called manual exposure. In the <M> mode, the center-weighted average metering will be set automatically. * <M> stands for Manual. 1 Turn the Mode Dial to <M>. 2 Set the shutter speed and aperture value. e To set the shutter speed, turn the <> dial, e To set the aperture value, hold down the < Ау > button and turn the <> dial, 3 Focus the subject. > The exposure setting will be displayed. * The exposure level mark <I> indicates how close the exposure level is to the correct exposure, 4 Determine the exposure. e Look at the exposure level indicator Exposure level mark and set the shutter speed and aperture value as desired. 5 Take the picture. В If the exposure level mark <I> blinks at the <2*> or <-2> level, it indicates that the difference between the standard exposure exceeds +/-2 stops. 36 A-DEP Automatic Depth-of-Field AE um This mode is for obtaining a wide depth of field automatically between a near subject and far subject. It is effective for group photos and landscapes. The camera uses the 7 AF points to detect the nearest and farthest subjects to be in focus. « <A-DEP> stands for Auto-depth of field. 1 Turn the Mode Dial to <A-DEP >. > Focus the subject. e Move the AF point over the subject The image was removed and press the shutter button due to halfway. copyright restrictions e Focus is achieved at all the AF point marks that light. 3 Take the picture. és The <A-DEP> mode cannot be used if the lens’ focus mode switch is set to <MF>. * |f the aperture value blinks, it indicates that the exposure level is correct but the desired depth of field cannot be achieved. Either use a wide-angle lens or move further away from the subjects. * In this shooting mode, you cannot freely change the shutter speed and aperture value. If the camera sels a slow shutter speed, hold the camera steady or use a tripod. + If flash is used, the result will be the same as using flash in the <P> mode. 37 AvE4 Exposure Compensation mms Exposure compensation is used to alter the camera's standard exposure setting. You can make the picture look lighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). The exposure compensation amount can be set up to +/-2 stops in half-stop increments. Turn the Mode Dial to a Creative Zone mode except <M>. 2 Check the exposure setting. e Press the shutter button halfway and check the display. 3 Set the exposure compensation amount, ® Hold down the < AvÆ> button and turn the <> dial. e To cancel the exposure compensation, set the exposure compensation amount to <} >.

In the <[1> (single frame) mode, press the shutter button completely three times to take the three AEB shots. * |f you use the sell-timer or remote control, the three AEB shots will be taken continuously automatically. * AEB can be combined with exposure compensation. + AEB cannot be used with flash or bulb exposures. 39 X AE LOCK Green aaa aaa aa AE lock enables you to lock the exposure at a different place from the point of focus. After locking the exposure, you can recompose the shot while maintaining the desired exposure level. This feature is useful for backlit and spotlighted subjects. For AE lock, partial metering is used automatically. 1 Focus the subject. » The exposure setting will be displayed. Press the <3 > button. (34) ® Aim the center of the viewfinder over the subject where the exposure is to be locked, then press the <> button. » The <> icon will light in the viewfinder to indicate that the exposure setting has been locked (AE lock). # Each time you press the <> button, it locks the current exposure setting. AE lock indicator 3 Compose the shot and take the picture. e If you want to maintain the AE lock while taking more pictures, hold down the <#> button and press the shutter button to take another picture. 40 Bulb Exposures mme When bulb is set, the shutter is open during the time you keep pressing the shutter button fully. Bulb exposures are useful when long exposures are required for night scenes, fireworks, astronomical photography, etc. 1 Turn the Mode Dial to <M >. Set the shutter speed to “ bulb ™. e Look at the LCD panel and turn the < 4 %> dial to select * bul b ”. e“ bul b" follows “ 30''”, 3 Select the desired aperture value. e Hold down the <AvEd> button and turn the <á3> dial. 4 Start the bulb exposure. » During the bulb exposure, “ bul b " blinks on the LCD panel. ® The bulb exposure continues as long as you hold down the shutter button. * Remote Controller AC-5 (optional) can also be used for bulb exposures (p.24). When you press Ihe transmit button, the exposure will start 2 sec. later. To stop the exposure, press the button again. (DATE Model only) s With a new set of batteries, the maximum bulb exposure time (at 20°C) will be about 4 hours. [mh Multiple Exposures mmm Since the film is not advanced after each shot, you can expose multiple shots on the same frame. You can expose up to nine shots on a single frame. 1 Move the <> arrow to the < mi > icon. ® Look at the LCD panel and press the <FUNC.> button. (56) »* | ” will be displayed. 2 Set the desired number of multiple exposures. e Turn the <> dial, e Press the shutter button halfway to return to normal camera operation. 41 [a Multiple Exposures sss 0 ana 3 Take the picture. > Alfter you take all the multiple exposures, the film advances to the next frame automatically and the multiple-exposure setting Is canceled. 4 If you shoot multiple exposures on the first few or last few frames of a roll, the multiple exposures might not be precisely aligned due to the film curling. E » During multiple-exposure shooting, the <B> arrow next to the <) > icon on the LCD panel will blink. « To cancel multiple exposures before shooting, set the number of multiple exposures to“ { °. « To cancel multiple exposures after shooting, follow steps 1 and 2 to sel the number of multiple exposures to blank. ISO Setting the ISO Film Speed mmm If the film is not DX-coded or if you want to set a different film speed, load the film in the camera and set the film speed manually as follows.

In a Creative Zone Mode Press the <5> button to pop up the built-in flash. P :Usethis mode for automatic flash photography. The flash sync speed (1/90 sec.) and aperture value will be set automatically as with the <CJ> (Full Auto) mode. Tv : Use this mode if you want to set the flash sync speed manually (within 30 sec. - 1/90 sec.). The camera will set the flash aperture value automatically to obtain a correct flash exposure. Av : Use this mode if you want to set the flash aperture value. The camera will set the flash sync speed (within 30 sec. - 1/90 sec.) automatically to obtain the best exposure for the aperture you set. For portraits with a night scene or dark background, a slow sync speed will be set to obtain a proper exposure for both the subject and background. The flash illuminates the subject, while the background is properly exposed with a slow shutter speed. * Because automatic slow-sync shooting uses a slow shutter speed, always use a tripod. M : You can manually set both the flash sync speed (within Bulb - 1/90 sec.) and aperture value. The subject is properly exposed with the flash and the background is exposed with the flash sync speed and aperture value you have set. A-DEP : The result will be the same as using the <P> mode. Flash Distance (With EF28-90mm ISO 43 Using the Built-in Flash massa Flash Distance (With EF28-80mm f/3.5-5.6) ISO 1-48 i» * When using the built-in flash, stay at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away from the subject. Otherwise, part of the photo will look dark. «When using the built-in flash, detach any hood attached to the lens. A lens hood will partially obstruct the flash coverage. * When a super telephoto lens or a fast, large-aperture lens is attached, the built-in flash coverage might be obstructed. * The built-in flash's flash coverage is 28mm lens angle. * |f you use a flash unit (with multiple contacts) dedicated to another camera brand or a high-voltage flash, the camera may not work properly or malfunction may result.
