Otherwise, it may cause a fire, heat damage, or electrical shock.
 If the battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or fumes, remove it
immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process. It may cause a fire,
electrical shock or burns if you keep using it.
 Prevent any battery leakage from contacting your eyes, skin, and clothing. It can
cause blindness or skin problems. If the battery leakage comes in contact with your
eyes, skin, or clothing, flush the affected area with lots of clean water without
rubbing it. See a physician immediately.
 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 hold the camera in the same position for long periods of time. Even if the
camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same body part may cause
skin redness or blistering due to low-temperature contact burns. Using a tripod is
recommended for people with circulation problems or very sensitive skin, or when
using the camera in very hot places.
 Do not fire the flash at anyone driving a car or other vehicle. It may cause an accident.

Safety Precautions
 When the camera or accessories are not in use, make sure to remove the battery
and disconnect the power plug from the equipment before storing. This is to prevent
electrical shock, excessive heat, fire, and corrosion.
 Do not use the equipment where there is flammable gas. This is to prevent an
explosion or a fire.
 If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts,
do not touch the exposed internal parts. There is a possibility of an 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 equipment out of the reach of children and infants, including when in use. Straps
or cords may accidentally cause choking, electrical shock, or injury. Choking or injury
may also occur if a child or infant accidentally swallows a camera part or accessory. If
a child or infant swallows a part or accessory, consult a physician immediately.
 Do not use or store the equipment in dusty or humid places. Likewise, keep the battery
away from metallic items and store it with its protective cover attached to prevent
short-circuit. This is to prevent fire, excessive heat, electrical shock, and burns.
 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 a 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 wire is broken or insulation is damaged.
 Unplug the power plug periodically and clean off the dust around the power outlet
with a dry cloth. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power
outlet may become moist and short-circuit the outlet, causing a fire.
 Do not connect the battery directly to an electrical outlet or a car’s cigarette lighter
outlet. The battery may leak, generate excessive heat or explode, causing fire,
burns, or injuries.
 A thorough explanation of how to use the product by an adult is required when the
product is used by children. Supervise children while they are using the product.
Incorrect usage may result in electrical shock or injury.
 Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera in 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 product with a cloth. Doing so may trap heat within and
cause the casing to deform or catch fire.
 Be careful not to get the camera wet. If you drop the product in the water or if water
or metal get inside the product, promptly remove the battery. This is to prevent fire,
electrical shock, and burns.
 Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the product.
Doing so may cause fire or a health hazard.
23
Safety Precautions
Cautions:
Follow the cautions below. Otherwise, physical injury
or property damage may result.
 Do not use or store the product in a high-temperature location such as inside a car
under the hot sun. The product may become hot and cause burns. Doing so may
also cause battery leakage or explosion, which will degrade the performance or
shorten the life of the product.
 Do not carry the camera around when it is attached to a tripod. Doing so may cause
an injury or an accident. Also make sure the tripod is sturdy enough to support the
camera and lens.
 Do not leave the product in a low-temperature environment for an extended period of
time. The product will become cold and may cause injury when touched.
 Do not fire the flash near the eyes. It may hurt the eyes.

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.
 To maximize the camera’s dust- and drip- resistance, keep the terminal
cover, battery compartment cover, card slot cover, and all other covers firmly
closed.
 This camera is designed to be dust- and drip- resistant, in order to help
prevent sand, dust, dirt, or water that falls on it unexpectedly from getting
inside, but it is impossible to prevent dirt, dust, water, or salt from getting
inside at all. As far as possible, do not allow dirt, dust, water, and salt to get
on the camera.
 If water gets on the camera, wipe it off with a dry and clean cloth. If dirt, dust,
or salt gets on the camera, wipe it off with a clean, well-wrung wet cloth.
 Using the camera in a location with large amounts of dirt or dust may cause
a malfunction.
 Cleaning the camera after use is recommended. Allowing dirt, dust, water, or
salt to remain on the camera may cause a malfunction.
 If you accidentally drop the camera into water or are concerned that
moisture (water), dirt, dust, or salt may have gotten inside it, promptly
consult the nearest Canon Service Center.
 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.
25
Handling Precautions
 Do not block the mirror operation with your finger, etc. Doing so may cause a
malfunction.
 Use only a commercially-available blower to blow away dust when it adheres
to the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirror, focusing screen, etc. 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
malfunction.
 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 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 chemicals that result in rust and
corrosion such as in a 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 such as a foreign trip coming up, have the camera
checked by your nearest Canon Service Center or check the camera
yourself and make sure it is working properly.
 If you repeat continuous shooting or perform Live View shooting or movie
shooting for a prolonged period, the camera may become hot. This is not a
malfunction.
 If there is a bright light source inside or outside the image area, ghosting
may occur.
26
Handling Precautions
LCD Panel and LCD Monitor
 Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision
technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, 0.01% or fewer of the pixels
may be dead, and there may also be spots of black, red, or other colors.
Dead pixels 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.
 The LCD monitor display may seem slightly slow in low temperatures, or
look black in high temperatures. 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 touch the card’s electronic contacts with your fingers or anything
metallic.
 Do not affix any stickers, etc., on the card.
 Do not store or use the card near anything that has a strong magnetic field,
such as a TV set, speakers, or magnets. 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.

Charging the Battery
Tips for Using the Battery and Charger
 Upon purchase, the battery is not fully charged.
Charge the battery before use.
 Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be used.
Even during storage, a charged battery will gradually drain and lose its capacity.
 After recharging the battery, detach it and disconnect the
charger from the power outlet.
 You can attach the cover in a different
orientation to indicate whether the battery
is recharged or not.
If the battery is 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 will keep released, resulting in excess discharge and shorter
battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover attached. Storing the
battery when it is fully charged may lower the battery 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 may damage the battery charger.
 If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after having been
fully charged, the battery has reached the end of its service life.
Check the battery’s recharge performance (p.526) and purchase a new battery.
 After disconnecting the charger’s power plug, do not touch the prongs for
approx. 10 sec.
 If the battery’s remaining capacity (p.526) is 94% or higher, the battery
will not be recharged.
 The provided charger cannot charge any battery other than Battery Pack
LP-E6N/LP-E6.

being written to, read from, or erased from the card, or data is being
transferred. Do not open the card slot cover during this time.
Also, never do any of the following while the access lamp is lit or
blinking. Otherwise, it can damage the image data, card, or camera.
• Removing the card.
• Removing the battery.
• Shaking or banging the camera around.
• Unplugging and connecting a power cord (when household power
outlet accessories (sold separately, p.530) are used).
 If the card already contains recorded images, the image number may not
start from 0001 (p.223).
 If a card-related error message is displayed on the LCD monitor, remove
and reinsert the card. If the error persists, use a different card.
If you can transfer images on the card to a computer, transfer all the
images and then format the card with the camera (p.73). The card may
then return to normal.
 Do not touch the SD card’s contacts with your fingers or metal objects.
Do not expose the contacts to dust or water. If smudges adhere to the
contacts, contact failure may result.

will be formatted in exFAT.
When shooting a movie with a card formatted in exFAT, the movie
will be recorded in a single file (instead of being split into multiple
files) even if it exceeds 4 GB. (The movie file will exceed 4 GB.)
74
Before You Start
 If you format a CF card exceeding 128 GB or SDXC card with this
camera and then insert it into another camera, an error may be displayed
and the card may become unusable. Certain computer operating
systems or card readers may not recognize a card formatted in exFAT.
 When the card is formatted or data is erased, only the file management
information is changed. The actual data is not completely erased. Be
aware of this when selling or discarding the card. When discarding the

Basic Shooting
This chapter explains how to use the Mode Dial’s <A>
(Scene Intelligent Auto) mode for easy picture taking.
In the <A> mode, all you do is point and shoot and the
camera sets everything automatically (p.536). Also, to prevent
botched pictures due to misoperations, advanced shooting
function settings cannot be changed.
Scene Intelligent Auto
Auto Lighting Optimizer
In the <A> mode, the Auto Lighting Optimizer (p.201) will adjust
the image automatically to obtain the optimum brightness and
contrast based on the shooting resut.
93
A Fully Automatic Shooting (Scene Intelligent Auto)
<A> is a fully automatic mode. The camera analyzes the scene
and sets the optimum settings automatically. It also adjusts focus
automatically on either the still or moving subject by detecting the
motion of the subject (p.97).

 Press the shutter button completely to
take the picture.
 The captured image will be displayed
for approx. 2 sec. on the LCD
monitor.
The <A> mode makes the colors look more impressive in nature, outdoor,
and sunset scenes. If you do not obtain the desired color tones, change the
mode to <d>, <s>, <f>, or <a>, set a Picture Style other than
<D>, then shoot again (p.183).
FAQ
 The focus indicator <o> blinks and focus is not achieved.
Aim the Area AF frame over an area with good contrast, then press
the shutter button halfway (p.58). If you are too close to the subject,
move away and shoot again.
 When focus is achieved, the AF points do not light up in red.
The AF points light up in red only when focus is achieved in low light
or with a dark subject.
 Multiple AF points light up simultaneously.
Focus has been achieved at all those points. You can take the
picture as long as an AF point covering the target subject is lighting
up.
 The beeper continues to beep softly. (The focus indicator <o>
does not light up.)
It indicates that the camera is focusing continuously on a moving
subject. (The AF status indicator lights up, but the focus
indicator <o> does not light up.) You can take sharp pictures of a
moving subject.
Note that focus lock (p.97) will not work in this case.
95
A Fully Automatic Shooting (Scene Intelligent Auto)
 Pressing the shutter button halfway does not focus on the
subject.
If the focus mode switch of the lens is set to <MF> (manual focus),
set it to <AF> (autofocus).
 The shutter speed display is blinking.
Since it is too dark, taking the picture may result in a blurred subject
due to camera shake. Using a tripod or a Canon EX-series Speedlite
(sold separately, p.286) is recommended.
 When the external flash was used, the bottom part of the
picture came out unnaturally dark.
If a hood is attached to the lens, it may obstruct the flash light. If the
subject is close, detach the hood before taking the picture with flash.
Minimizing Blurred Photos
 Silent single shooting (p.161), Single shooting in Live View shooting,
etc. are effective. Mirror lockup (p.276) is also effective except when
the shooting mode is set to <A>.
 For continuous shooting, using Silent continuous shooting (p.161) or
Live View continuous shooting is effective.
 Use a sturdy tripod that can bear the weight of the shooting
equipment. Mount the camera securely on the tripod.
 Using a remote switch or a remote controller is recommended
(p.279).
96
A Full Auto Techniques (Scene Intelligent Auto)
Recomposing the Shot
Depending on the scene, positioning the subject toward the left or right
to include a balanced background will result in a picture with better
perspective.
In the <A> mode, pressing the shutter button halfway to focus on a
still subject will lock the focus on that subject. Recompose the shot
while keeping the shutter button pressed halfway, and then press the
shutter button completely to take the picture. This is called “focus lock”.
Shooting a Moving Subject
In the <A> mode, if the subject moves (distance to camera changes)
during or after focusing, AI Servo AF will take effect to focus on the
subject continuously. (The beeper will continue beeping softly.) As long
as you keep the Area AF frame positioned over the subject while
pressing the shutter button halfway, focusing will be continuous. At the
decisive moment, press the shutter button completely to take the
picture.

shot if desired.
 If focus cannot be achieved, the focus indicator <o> in the viewfinder
will blink. If this occurs, the picture cannot be taken even if the shutter
button is pressed completely. Recompose the shot and try to focus again
or see “When Autofocus Fails” (p.158).
 If [z1: Beep] is set to [Disable], the beeper will not sound when focus
is achieved.
 After achieving focus with One-Shot AF, you can lock the focus on a
subject and recompose the shot. This is called “focus lock”. This is useful
when you want to focus on a peripheral subject not covered by the Area
AF frame.
 When a lens equipped with an electronic manual focusing function is
used, after achieving focus, you can focus manually by turning the lens
focusing ring while pressing the shutter button halfway (p.159).
101
f: Selecting the AF OperationN
AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects
This AF operation is suited for
moving subjects when the focusing
distance keeps changing. While you
hold down the shutter button halfway,
the camera will keep focusing on the
subject continuously.
 The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.
 When the AF area selection mode (p.109) is set to Automatic
selection AF, focus tracking will continue as long as the Area AF
frame covers the subject.
With AI Servo AF, the beeper will not sound even when focus is achieved.
Also, the focus indicator <o> in the viewfinder will not light up.
AI Focus AF for Switching the AF Operation Automatically
AI Focus AF switches the AF
operation from One-Shot AF to AI
Servo AF automatically if a still
subject starts moving.
 After the subject is focused in One-Shot AF, if the subject starts
moving, the camera will detect the movement, change the AF
operation automatically to AI Servo AF, and start tracking the moving
subject.
When focus is achieved with AI Focus AF with the Servo operation active,
the beeper will continue beeping softly. However, the focus indicator <o> in
the viewfinder will not light up. Note that focus will not be locked in this case.
102
f: Selecting the AF OperationN

(above, below, on the left, and on the right) are used to focus. Effective
when it is difficult to track a moving subject with just one AF point.
With AI Servo AF, the initial manually-selected AF point <S> must
focus-track the subject first. However, it is superior to Zone AF in
focusing on the target subject.
With One-Shot AF, when focus is achieved with expanded AF points,
the expanded AF points <S> will also be displayed along with the
manually-selected AF point <S>.
109
AF Area Selection ModesN
AF point expansion (Manual selection, surrounding points)
The manually-selected AF point <S> and surrounding AF points <w>
are used to focus. Focusing is performed over a wider area than with
AF point expansion (manual selection ). Effective when it is difficult to
track a moving subject with just one AF point.
AI Servo AF and One-Shot AF work in the same way as with AF point
expansion (manual selection ) mode (p.109).
Zone AF (Manual selection of zone)
The AF area is divided into nine focusing zones for focusing. All the AF
points in the selected zone are used for the automatic AF point
selection. It is superior to Single-point AF or AF point expansion in
achieving focus, and it is effective for moving subjects.
However, since it is inclined to focus on the nearest subject, focusing on
a specific target may be more difficult.
The AF point(s) achieving focus is displayed as <S>.
110
AF Area Selection ModesN
Large Zone AF (Manual selection of zone)
The AF area is divided into three focusing zones (left, center, and right)
for focusing. Since the focusing area is larger than with Zone AF and all
the AF points in the selected zone are used for the automatic AF point
selection, it is superior to single-point AF and AF point expansion in
tracking the subject, and it is effective for moving subjects.
However, since it is inclined to focus on the nearest subject, focusing on
a specific target may be more difficult.
The AF point(s) achieving focus is displayed as <S>.
Automatic selection AF
The Area AF frame (entire AF area) is used to focus. The AF point(s)
achieving focus is displayed as <S>.
With One-Shot AF, pressing the shutter button
halfway will display the AF point(s) <S> that
achieved focus. If multiple AF points are
displayed, it means they all have achieved focus.
This mode tends to focus on the nearest subject.
With AI Servo AF, you can set the AI Servo AF’s
initial position with [f4: Initial AF pt,
AI
Servo AF] (p.146). As long as the Area AF frame
can track the subject during shooting, focusing
will continue.
111
AF Area Selection ModesN
 When AI Servo AF mode is set for Zone AF, Large Zone AF, or Automatic
selection AF, the active AF point <S> will keep switching to track the
subject. However, under certain shooting conditions (such as when the
subject is small), it may not be able to track the subject.
 With Single-point Spot AF, focusing with an EOS-dedicated, external
Speedlite’s AF-assist beam may be difficult.
 If a peripheral AF point or a wide-angle or telephoto lens is used,
achieving focus may be difficult with an EOS-dedicated, external
Speedlite’s AF-assist beam. In such a case, use the center AF point or
an AF point close to the center.
 In low temperatures, the AF point display may be difficult to see due to
the characteristics of AF point display (using liquid crystal).
 With [24: Orientation linked AF point], you can set the AF area
selection mode + AF point or only the AF point separately for the
horizontal and vertical orientations (p.144).
 With [24: Selectable AF point], you can change the number of
manually selectable AF points (p.142).

AF Sensor
The camera’s AF sensor has 61 AF points. The illustration below shows
the AF sensor pattern corresponding to each AF point. When using
lenses with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 or faster, high-precision AF is
possible at the viewfinder center.
Depending on the lens attached to the camera, the number of usable
AF points, AF point patterns, Area AF frame shape, etc. vary. For
details, see “Lenses and Usable AF Points” on page 115.

AF Sensor
These focusing sensors are geared to obtain
higher precision focusing for lenses with a
maximum aperture of f/2.8 or faster. A diagonal
cross pattern makes it easier to focus subjects
that may be difficult to focus. They cover the five
AF points vertically aligned at the center.
These focusing sensors are geared to obtain
high-precision focusing for lenses with a
maximum aperture of f/4 or faster. Since they
have a horizontal pattern, they can detect
vertical lines.
These focusing sensors are geared for lenses
with a maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster
(greater than f/5.6 but not exceeding f/8 with an
extender attached). Since they have a horizontal
pattern, they can detect vertical lines. They
cover the three columns of AF points at the
viewfinder center.
These focusing sensors are geared for lenses
with a maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster
(greater than f/5.6 but not exceeding f/8 with an
extender attached). Since they have a vertical
pattern, they can detect horizontal lines. They
cover all 61 AF points.
114
Lenses and Usable AF Points
 Although the camera has 61 AF points, the number of usable AF
points, focusing patterns, Area AF frame shape, etc. vary
depending on the lens. The lenses are thereby classified into
eleven groups from A to K.
 When using a lens in groups G to K, fewer AF points will be usable.
 Lens groups are listed on pages 122-126. Check which group your
lens belongs to.
 When you press the <S> button, the AF points indicated by the mark
will blink. (The / / AF points will stay lit.) Regarding lighting up or
blinking of the AF points, see page 108.
 Regarding new lenses released after the EOS 5D Mark IV (in the second
half of 2016), check the Canon website to see which group they belong
to.
 Some lenses may not be available in certain countries or regions.

3 Selecting AI Servo AF CharacteristicsN
Case 1: Versatile multi purpose setting
Default settings
• Tracking sensitivity: 0
• Accel./decel. tracking: 0
• AF pt auto switching: 0
Standard setting suited for any moving
subject. Works with various subjects and
scenes.
Select [Case 2] to [Case 6] for the
following: When an obstacle cuts across
the AF points or the subject tends to
stray from the AF points, when you want
to focus on a subject appearing
suddenly, when the speed of a moving
subject changes suddenly, or when the
subject dramatically moves horizontally
or vertically.
Case 2: Continue to track subjects, ignoring possible obstacles
Default settings
The camera will try to continue focusing
on the subject even if an obstacle cuts
across the AF points or if the subject
strays from the AF points. Effective when
there may be an obstacle blocking the
subject or when you do not want to focus
on the background.
• Tracking sensitivity: Locked on:
-1
• Accel./decel. tracking: 0
• AF pt auto switching: 0
If an obstacle gets in the way or if the subject moves away from the AF
points for a prolonged period and the default setting is unable to track the
target subject, setting [Tracking sensitivity] to [-2] may give better results
(p.132).
128
3 Selecting AI Servo AF CharacteristicsN
Case 3: Instantly focus on subjects suddenly entering AF points
Default settings
• Tracking sensitivity: Responsive:
+1
• Accel./decel. tracking: +1
• AF pt auto switching: 0
Once an AF point starts tracking the
subject, this setting enables the camera
to consecutively focus on subjects at
different distances. If a new subject
appears in front of the target subject, the
camera will start focusing on the new
subject. Also effective when you want to
always focus on the closest subject.
If you want to quickly focus on a subject appearing suddenly, setting
[Tracking sensitivity] to [+2] may give better results (p.132).
Case 4: For subjects that accelerate or decelerate quickly
Geared for tracking moving subjects
whose speed can change dramatically
and suddenly.
Effective for subjects having sudden
movements, sudden acceleration,
sudden deceleration, or sudden stops.
Default settings
• Tracking sensitivity: 0
• Accel./decel. tracking: +1
• AF pt auto switching: 0
If the subject is in motion, and prone to sudden, dramatic changes in speed,
setting [Accel./decel. tracking] to [+2] may give better results (p.133).
129
3 Selecting AI Servo AF CharacteristicsN
Case 5: For erratic subjects moving quickly in any direction
Default settings
• Tracking sensitivity: 0
• Accel./decel. tracking: 0
• AF pt auto switching: +1
Even if the target subject moves
dramatically up, down, left, or right, the
AF point will switch automatically to
focus-track the subject. Effective for
shooting subjects that move dramatically
up, down, left, or right.
It is recommended to use this setting
with the following modes; AF point
expansion (manual selection ), AF
point expansion (manual selection,
surrounding points), Zone AF, Large
Zone AF, and Automatic selection AF.
With Single-point Spot AF or Single-point
AF mode, the tracking action will be the
same as with Case 1.
If the subject moves even more dramatically up, down, left, or right, setting
[AF pt auto switching] to [+2] may give better results (p.134).
130
3 Selecting AI Servo AF CharacteristicsN
Case 6: For subjects that change speed and move erratically
Default settings
• Tracking sensitivity: 0
• Accel./decel. tracking: +1
• AF pt auto switching: +1
Geared for tracking moving subjects
whose speed can change dramatically
and suddenly. Also, if the target subject
moves dramatically up, down, left or right
and it is difficult to focus, the AF point
switches automatically to track the
subject.
It is recommended to use this setting
with the following modes; AF point
expansion (manual selection ), AF
point expansion (manual selection,
surrounding points), Zone AF, Large
Zone AF, and Automatic selection AF.
With Single-point Spot AF or Single-point
AF mode, the tracking action will be the
same as with Case 4.
 If the subject is in motion, and prone to sudden, dramatic changes in
speed, setting [Accel./decel. tracking] to [+2] may give better results
(p.133).
 If the subject moves even more dramatically up, down, left, or right,
setting [AF pt auto switching] to [+2] may give better results (p.134).
131
3 Selecting AI Servo AF CharacteristicsN
Parameters
 Tracking sensitivity
Sets the subject-tracking sensitivity
during AI Servo AF when an obstacle
cuts across the AF points or when the
subject strays from the AF point.
0
Default setting. Suitable for moving subjects in general.
Locked on: -2 / Locked on: -1
The camera will try to continue focusing on the subject even if an
obstacle cuts across the AF points or if the subject strays from the AF
points. The -2 setting makes the camera keep tracking the target
subject longer than the -1 setting.
However, if the camera focuses on a wrong subject, it may take
slightly longer to switch and focus on the target subject.
Responsive: +2 / Responsive: +1
The camera can focus consecutively on subjects at different
distances that are covered by the AF points. Also effective when you
want to always focus on the closest subject. The +2 setting is more
responsive than the +1 setting when focusing on the next subject.
However, the camera will be more prone to focus on an unintended
subject.
[Tracking sensitivity] is the feature named [AI Servo tracking sensitivity]
in the EOS-1D Mark III/IV, EOS-1Ds Mark III, and EOS 7D.
132
3 Selecting AI Servo AF CharacteristicsN
 Acceleration/deceleration tracking
This sets the tracking sensitivity for
moving subjects whose speed can
momentarily change dramatically by
starting or stopping suddenly, etc.
0
Suited for subjects that move at a steady speed (minor changes in
moving speed).
-2 / -1
Suited for subjects that move at a steady speed (minor changes in
moving speed). It is effective when 0 is set but focus is unstable due
to the subject’s slight movement or an obstacle in front of the subject.
+2 / +1
Effective for subjects having sudden movements, sudden
acceleration/deceleration, or sudden stops. Even if the moving
subject’s speed suddenly changes dramatically, the camera
continues to focus on the target subject. For example, for an
approaching subject, the camera becomes less prone to focus
behind it to avoid subject blur. For a subject stopping suddenly, the
camera becomes less prone to focus in front of it. Setting +2 can
track dramatic changes in the moving subject’s speed better than
with +1.
However, since the camera will be sensitive to even slight
movements of the subject, focusing may become unstable for short
periods.
133
3 Selecting AI Servo AF CharacteristicsN
 AF point auto switching
This sets the switching sensitivity of the
AF points as they track the subject
moving dramatically up, down, left, or
right.
This setting takes effect when the AF
area selection mode is set to AF point
expansion (manual selection ), AF
point expansion (manual selection,
surrounding points), Zone AF, Large
Zone AF, or Automatic selection AF.
0
Standard setting for gradual AF point switching.
+2 / +1
Even if the target subject moves dramatically up, down, left, or right
and moves away from the AF point, the camera switches its focus to
neighboring AF points to continue focusing on the subject. The
camera switches to the AF point deemed most likely to focus on the
subject based on the subject’s continual movement, contrast, etc.
Setting +2 makes the camera more prone to switch the AF point than
with +1.
However, with a wide-angle lens having a wide depth of field or if the
subject is too small in the frame, the camera may focus with an
unintended AF point.

AI Servo 2nd image priority
AF2
With AI Servo AF for continuous shooting, you can preset the AF
operation characteristics and shutter-release timing for the subsequent
shots after the first shot in continuous shooting.
0: Equal priority
Equal priority is given to focusing and
continuous shooting speed. In low
light or with low-contrast subjects,
continuous shooting speed may slow
down.
-2/-1: Shooting speed priority
Priority is given to the continuous shooting speed instead of achieving
focus. With -2, decrease of continuous shooting speed can be better
prevented than with -1.
+2/+1: Focus priority
Priority is given to achieving focus instead of the continuous shooting
speed. The picture will not be taken until focus is achieved. Although
focus can be achieved easier in low-light conditions with +2 than with
+1, continuous shooting speed may decrease.
Under shooting conditions that activate flicker reduction (p.215), even if
[Shooting speed priority]: [-1] or [-2] is set, the continuous shooting speed
may become slower or the shooting interval may become irregular.
If focus cannot be achieved in low-light conditions when [0: Equal priority]
is set, setting [Focus priority]: [+1] or [+2] may give better results.

Lens drive when AF impossible
AF4
If focus cannot be achieved with autofocus, you can have the camera
keep searching for the precise focus or have it stop searching.
ON: Continue focus search
If focus cannot be achieved with
autofocus, the lens is driven to search
for the precise focus.
OFF: Stop focus search
If autofocus starts and the focus is far
off or if focus cannot be achieved, the
lens drive will not be performed. This
prevents the lens from becoming
grossly out of focus due to the focus
search drive.
When focus search drive is performed using a super telephoto lenses or
other lenses with wide focusing drive ranges, the lens can become grossly
out of focus and it may take more time to achieve focus next time. Setting
[Stop focus search] is recommended.

EOS iTR* AF performs autofocus by recognizing faces and subject
colors. EOS iTR AF works when the AF area selection mode is set to
Zone AF, Large Zone AF, or Automatic selection AF.
* intelligent Tracking and Recognition: a function that identifies the subject with
the metering sensor in order for the AF points to track it.
u: EOS iTR AF (Face priority)
The AF point is automatically selected
based not only on AF information, but
also the human face and the subject’s
color information.
With AI Servo AF, the subject is tracked while giving higher priority to
using face information than with the [EOS iTR AF] setting. This makes it
easier to keep track of the subject than when only AF information is
available.
In One-Shot AF mode, EOS iTR AF makes focusing on human faces
easier, so you can shoot while concentrating on the composition.
ON: EOS iTR AF
The AF point is automatically selected based not only on AF
information, but also the human face and the subject’s color
information. With AI Servo AF, the subject is tracked giving weight to the
information not only on the face information but also on where (AF
point) the focus was first achieved. The One-Shot AF operation will be
the same as with the [EOS iTR AF (Face priority)] setting.

3 Fine Adjustment of AF’s Point of FocusN
Fine adjustment of the AF’s point of focus is possible for viewfinder
shooting. This is called “AF Microadjustment”. Before making the
adjustment, read “General Cautions for AF Microadjustment” and
“Notes for AF Microadjustment” on page 157.
Normally, this adjustment is not required. Perform this adjustment
only if necessary. Note that performing this adjustment may prevent
accurate focusing from being achieved.
Adjust All by Same Amount
Set the adjustment amount manually by repeatedly making
adjustments, shooting, and checking the results until the desired result
is achieved. During AF, regardless of the lens used, the point of focus
will always be shifted by the adjustment amount.

You can make the adjustment for each lens and register the adjustment
in the camera. You can register the adjustment for up to 40 lenses.
When you autofocus with a lens whose adjustment is registered, the
point of focus will always be shifted by the adjustment amount.
Set the adjustment amount manually by repeatedly making
adjustments, shooting, and checking the results until the desired result
is achieved. If you use a zoom lens, make the adjustment for the wideangle (W) and telephoto (T) ends.

3 Fine Adjustment of AF’s Point of FocusN
When shooting with the intermediate range (focal length) of a zoom lens, the
AF’s point of focus is corrected automatically relative to the adjustments
made for the wide-angle and telephoto ends. Even if only the wide-angle or
telephoto end is adjusted, a correction will be made automatically for the
intermediate range.
Clearing All AF Microadjustments
When [ Clear all] appears at the bottom of the screen, pressing the
<L> button will clear all the adjustments made for [All by same
amount] and [Adjust by lens].
General Cautions for AF Microadjustment
 The AF’s point of focus will vary slightly depending on the subject
conditions, brightness, zoom position, and other shooting conditions.
Therefore, even if you perform AF Microadjustment, focus may still not
be achieved at the suitable position.
 The adjustment amount of one step varies depending on the maximum
aperture of the lens. Keep adjusting, shooting, and checking the focus
repeatedly to adjust the AF’s point of focus.
 The adjustment will not be applied to AF in Live View shooting or movie
shooting.
 The adjustments will be retained even if you clear all the camera settings
(p.77). However, the setting itself will be [Disable].
Notes for AF Microadjustment
 It is best to make the adjustment at the actual location where you will
shoot. This will make the adjustment more precise.
 Using a tripod when making the adjustment is recommended.
 For making adjustments, shooting at the 73 image-recording quality is
recommended.
157
When Autofocus Fails
Autofocus may fail to achieve focus (focus indicator <o> in the
viewfinder blinks) with special subjects such as the following:
Subjects Difficult to Focus
 Subjects with very low contrast
(Example: Blue skies, solid-color flat surfaces, etc.)
 Subjects in very low light
 Strongly backlit or reflective subjects
(Example: Cars with highly reflective bodies, etc.)
 Near and distant subjects framed close to an AF point
(Example: Animals in cages, etc.)
 Subjects such as dots of light framed close to an AF point
(Example: Night scenes, etc.)
 Subjects with repetitive patterns
(Example: Skyscraper windows, computer keyboards, etc.)
 Subjects with finer patterns than an AF point
(Example: Faces or flowers as small as or smaller than an AF point,
etc.)
In such cases, focus in either of the following two ways.
(1) With One-Shot AF, focus on an object at the same distance as the
subject and lock the focus, then recompose the shot (p.101).
(2) Set the lens’s focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually
(p.159).
 Depending on the subject, focus may be achieved by slightly
recomposing the shot and performing AF operation again.
 For conditions that make focusing difficult with AF during Live View
shooting or movie shooting, see page 324.

3 Setting the Image-Recording Quality
 The number of possible shots is based on Canon’s testing standards and an 8
GB card.
 The maximum burst is with Canon’s standard testing CF card (Standard: 8 GB,
High speed: UDMA Mode 7, 64 GB) and SD card (Standard: 8 GB, High speed:
UHS-I, 16 GB), and based on the following conditions set by the Canon’s
testing standard: <o> High-speed continuous shooting, 3:2 aspect ratio,
ISO 100, Dual Pixel RAW shooting disabled, Standard Picture Style, IPTC
information not appended.
 The file size, number of possible shots, and maximum burst will vary
depending on the subject, card brand, ISO speed, Picture Style, Custom
Functions, and other settings.
 “Full” indicates that shooting is possible until the card becomes full with the
listed conditions.
 Even if you use a UDMA CF card or high-speed SD card, the maximum
burst indicator remains the same. However, the maximum burst shown in
the table on the preceding page applies to continuous shooting.
 If you select both RAW and JPEG, the same image will be recorded
simultaneously to the card in both RAW and JPEG at the imagerecording qualities that were set. The two images will be recorded with
the same file numbers (file extension: .JPG for JPEG and .CR2 for
RAW).
 The image-recording quality icons indicate as follows: 1 (RAW),
41 (Medium RAW), 61 (Small RAW), JPEG (JPEG), 7 (Fine),
8 (Normal), 3 (Large), 4 (Medium), and 6 (Small).
172
3 Setting the Image-Recording Quality
RAW Images
A RAW image is raw data output by the image sensor converted to
digital data. It is recorded to the card as is, and you can select the
quality as follows: 1, 41, or 61.
A 1 image can be processed with [31: RAW image processing]
(p.446) and saved as a JPEG image. (41 and 61 images cannot
be processed with the camera.) As the RAW image itself does not
change, you can process the RAW image to create any number of
JPEG images with various processing conditions.
You can use Digital Photo Professional (EOS software, p.596) to
process RAW images. You can make various adjustments to images
depending upon how they will be used and can generate JPEG, TIFF, or
other types of images reflecting the effects of those adjustments.
RAW Image Processing Software
 To display RAW images on a computer, using Digital Photo Professional
(DPP, EOS software) is recommended.
 Previous versions of DPP Ver.4.x cannot process RAW images taken with this
camera. If a previous version of DPP Ver.4.x is installed on your computer,
update it with the EOS Solution Disk (p.597). (The previous version will be
overwritten.) Note that DPP Ver.3.x or earlier cannot process RAW images
taken with this camera.
 Commercially-available software may not be able to display RAW
images taken with this camera. For compatibility information, contact the
software manufacturer.

[One-touch image quality (hold)] to the button or depth-offield preview button, you can quickly switch to the desired imagerecording quality and shoot.
For details, see “Custom Controls” (p.495).
Under [51: Record func+card/folder sel.], if [Record func.] is set to [Rec.
separately], you cannot switch to the One-touch image quality setting.
Maximum Burst for Continuous Shooting
The approximate maximum burst is
displayed in the viewfinder and on the
bottom right of the Quick Control screen
and Custom Quick Control screen.
If the maximum burst for continuous
shooting 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 inserted before taking a picture.
If the maximum burst is displayed as “99”, it indicates that you can shoot 99
or more shots continuously. 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. Shooting will then be disabled temporarily.
If you stop continuous shooting, the maximum burst will increase. After all
the captured images are written to the card, you can resume continuous
shooting and shoot up to the maximum burst listed in the table on page 171.

Setting the Dual Pixel RAW Function
If you shoot 1 images (other than 41 or 61) when Dual Pixel
RAW function is set, they will be recorded as “special 1 images (Dual
Pixel RAW images)” with Dual Pixel data from the image sensor
appended. This is called Dual Pixel RAW shooting.
When you perform processing of the Dual Pixel RAW image with the
Digital Photo Professional (EOS software, p.596), you can make use of
the Dual Pixel data recorded with the Dual Pixel RAW image for
microadjustment of the position of maximum sharpness and resolution
using the depth information contained within the file, repositioning the
viewpoint or foreground bokeh for a more pleasing result, and reducing
the appearance of ghosting in images.
Since the effect will differ depending on the shooting conditions,
refer to the Digital Photo Professional Instruction Manual for the
features of Duel Pixel RAW function and Dual Pixel RAW image
processing before performing Dual Pixel Raw shooting.

3 Setting Noise ReductionN
Cautions for Setting Multi Shot Noise Reduction
 If there is significant misalignment in the image due to camera shake, the
noise reduction effect may become smaller.
 If you are handholding the camera, keep it steady to prevent camera
shake. Using a tripod is recommended.
 If you shoot a moving subject, the moving subject may leave
afterimages.
 The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns
(lattice, stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.
 If the subject’s brightness changes as the four consecutive shots are
taken, irregular exposure in the image may result.
 After shooting, it may take some time to record an image to the card after
performing noise reduction and merging the images. During the
processing of the images, “buSY” will be displayed in the viewfinder and
on the LCD panel, and you cannot take another picture until the
processing is completed.
 You cannot use AEB and WB bracketing.
 If [z3: Long exp. noise reduction], [z3: Multiple exposure], [z3:

3 Correction of Lens Aberrations due
to Optical CharacteristicsN
Peripheral light fall-off is a phenomenon that makes the image corners
look darker due to the optical characteristics of the lens. Image
distortion due to optical characteristics of the lens is called distortion.
Color fringing along subject outlines is called chromatic aberration. And
decreased image sharpness due to the aperture is called diffraction
phenomenon. These lens aberrations can be corrected. The Digital
Lens Optimizer can correct the various aberrations caused by optical
characteristics of the lens, diffraction phenomenon, and the
deterioration of resolution caused by the low-pass filter.
By default, the [Peripheral illum corr], [Chromatic aberr corr], and
[Diffraction correction] are set to [Enable], [Distortion correction]
and [Digital Lens Optimizer] is set to [Disable].
If the lens correction data is registered (saved) in the camera,
peripheral illumination correction, chromatic aberration correction, and
diffraction correction will be done even in the <A> mode.
If the setting screen displays [Correction data not available] or the
[ ] icon, it means that the correction data for the respective lens is not
registered in the camera. See “Lens Correction Data” on page 213.

(correction is not possible).
 Using distortion correction during Live View shooting will slightly affect
the angle of view.
 When you magnify the image during Live View shooting, distortion
correction is not applied to the image displayed. Therefore, magnifying
the periphery of the image may display parts of the image that will not be

Lens Correction Data
The lens correction data for lens aberration corrections is registered
(stored) in the camera. With [Enable] selected, the peripheral
illumination correction, distortion correction, Digital Lens Optimizer,
chromatic aberration correction, and diffraction correction will be
applied automatically.
With EOS Utility (EOS software, p.596), you can check which lenses
have their correction data registered in the camera. You can also
register the correction data for unregistered lenses. For details, refer to
the EOS Utility Instruction Manual.
For lenses incorporating the correction data, it is not necessary to
register the correction data to the camera.
213
3 Correction of Lens Aberrations due to Optical CharacteristicsN
Cautions for Lens Correction
 Peripheral illumination correction, distortion correction, chromatic
aberration correction, and diffraction correction cannot be applied to
JPEG images already taken.
 When using a non-Canon lens, setting the corrections to [Disable] is
recommended even if [Correction data available] is displayed.
 If you use magnified view during Live View shooting, the peripheral
illumination correction and distortion correction will not be reflected in the
image on the screen. Note that the Digital Lens Optimizer and diffraction
correction will not be applied to the Live View image.
 The correction amount will be less (except for diffraction correction) if the
lens used does not have distance information.
Notes for Lens Correction
 The effect of the lens aberration correction varies depending on the lens
used and shooting conditions. Also, the effect may be difficult to discern
depending on the lens used, shooting conditions, etc.
 If the correction is difficult to discern, magnifying and checking the image
after shooting is recommended.
 Corrections can be applied even when an extender or life-size converter
is attached.
 If the correction data for the attached lens is not registered to the
camera, the result will be the same as when the correction is set to
[Disable] (except for diffraction correction).
214
3 Reducing FlickerN
If you shoot an image with a fast shutter speed under a light source
such as fluorescent light, the blinking of the light source causes flicker
and the image may be vertically unevenly exposed. If continuous
shooting is used under these conditions, uneven exposures or colors
across the images may result. When you use this feature during
viewfinder shooting, the camera detects the flickering frequency of the
light source and takes the picture when the flicker causes less effect on
exposure or color tone.

Select [Anti-flicker shoot.].
 Under the [z4] tab, select [Antiflicker shoot.], then press <0>.
2 Select [Enable].
the picture.
3 Take
 The image will be taken with reduced
unevenness of exposure or color tone
caused by the flicker.
 When [Enable] is set and you shoot under a flickering light source, the
shutter-release time lag may become longer. Also, the continuous shooting
speed may become slower, and the shooting interval may become irregular.
 This function does not work with mirror lockup, Live View shooting, or
movie shooting.
 In the <d> or <f> mode, if the shutter speed changes during continuous
shooting or if you shoot multiple shots of the same scene at different shutter
speeds, the color tone may be inconsistent. To avoid inconsistent color
tones, use the <s> or <a> mode at a fixed shutter speed.
 The color tone of the captured images when [Anti-flicker shoot.] is set
to [Enable] may look different from when [Disable] is set.
 Flicker at a frequency other than 100 Hz or 120 Hz cannot be detected.
Also, if the flickering frequency of the light source changes during
continuous shooting, effects of the flicker cannot be reduced.
215
3 Reducing FlickerN
 If the subject is against a dark background or if there is a bright light in
the image, flicker may not be properly detected.
 Under certain special types of lighting, the camera may not be able to
reduce the effects of the flicker even when <G> is displayed.
 Depending on the light source, flicker may not be detected properly.
 If you recompose a shot, <G> may appear and disappear
intermittently.
 Depending on the light sources or shooting conditions, the expected
result may not be obtained even if you use this function.
 Taking test shots in advance is recommended.
 If <G> is not displayed in the viewfinder, add a checkmark to
[Flicker detection] in [Show/hide in viewfinder] (p.84). If you shoot
with flicker reduction, <G> will light up. Under a light source which
does not flicker, or if no flicker is detected, <G> will not be
displayed.
 If a checkmark is added to [Flicker detection] and [z4: Anti-flicker
shoot.] is set to [Disable], metering under a flickering light source will
cause <G> to blink in the viewfinder as a warning. Setting to
[Enable] before shooting is recommended.
 In the <A> mode, <G> will not be displayed, but the picture will
be taken with flicker reduction.
 Flicker reduction also works with flash. However, the expected result
may not be obtained for wireless flash shooting.
216
3 Setting the Color SpaceN
The range of reproducible colors is called “color space”. With this
camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or
Adobe RGB. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended.

Adobe RGB
This color space is mainly used for commercial printing and other
industrial uses. This setting is not recommended if you are not familiar
with image processing, Adobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File
System 2.0 (Exif 2.21 or higher). The image will look very subdued in a
sRGB computer environment and with printers not compliant to Design
rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21 or higher). Post-processing
of the image with computer software will therefore be required.
 If the captured still photo was shot in the Adobe RGB color space, the
first character in the file name will be an underscore “_”.
 The ICC profile is not appended. For explanations about the ICC profile,
refer to the Digital Photo Professional Instruction Manual.

As with “100EOS5D” for example, the folder name starts with three digits
(the folder number) followed by five alphanumeric characters. A folder can
contain up to 9999 images (file number 0001 - 9999). When a folder
becomes full, a new folder with the folder number increased by one is
created automatically. Also, if manual reset (p.224) is executed, a new
folder will be created automatically. Folders numbered from 100 to 999 can
be created.
Creating Folders with a Computer
With the card open on the screen, create a new folder named “DCIM”. Open
the DCIM folder and create as many folders as necessary to save and
organize your images. The folder name must follow the format
“100ABC_D”. The first three digits are always the folder number from 100 to
999. The last five characters can be any combination of upper- and lowercase letters from A to Z, numerals, and the underscore “_”. The space
cannot be used. Also note that two folder names cannot share the same
three-digit folder number (for example, “100ABC_D” and “100W_XYZ”)
even if the remaining five characters in each name are different.

“***M” = 74 / 84 / 41
“***S” = 7a/8a/61
“***T” = b
“***U” = c
When the image is transferred to a computer, you can refer to the fourth
character of the image file name to identify the image size (image-recording
quality) without opening the image. RAW or JPEG images can be
distinguished with the extension.
 If you cannot enter text in step 3, press the <Q> button and use the

Continues the file numbering sequence even after the card is
replaced or a new folder is created.
Even after you replace the card, create a folder, or switch the target
card (such as f9g), the file numbering continues in sequence up to
9999 for the images saved. This is useful when you want to save
images numbered anywhere between 0001 to 9999 on multiple cards or
in multiple folders into one folder on a computer.
If the replacement card or existing folder already contains images
recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images may continue
from the file numbering of the existing images on the card or in the
folder. If you want to use continuous file numbering, it is recommended
that you use a newly-formatted card each time.

GPS Settings
This chapter explains the camera’s built-in GPS
settings. The EOS 5D Mark IV (WG) can receive
satellite navigation signals from GPS satellites (USA),
GLONASS satellites (Russia), and Quasi-Zenith
Satellite System (QZSS) “Michibiki” (Japan).
 The GPS function is set to [Disable] by default.
 This manual uses the term “GPS” to refer to the satellite
navigation function.
When [GPS] is set to [Mode 1] (p.231), the camera will
continue to receive GPS signals at regular intervals
even after the camera’s power switch is set to <2>.
The battery will thereby drain faster and the number of
possible shots will decrease. If you will not use GPS,
setting [GPS] to [Disable] or [Mode 2] is recommended.
When using GPS function, be sure to check the region of use and
use the function in accordance with the laws and regulations of
the country or region. Be particularly careful when using GPS
outside your home country.

Acquiring GPS Signals
To acquire GPS signals, take the camera outside where the sky is
unobstructed. Face the top of the camera toward the sky while keeping
your hands, etc. away from the camera top.
When the signal acquisition conditions are good, it will take the camera
approx. 30 sec. to 60 sec. to acquire the GPS satellite signals after you
set [GPS] to [Mode 1] or [Mode 2]. Check that [r] is displayed on
the LCD panel, then shoot.

 Mode 1
The camera will continue to receive GPS signals at regular intervals
even when the power switch is set to <1> or <2>.
 Mode 2
When the power switch is set to <1>, the camera will receive
GPS signals. When the power switch is set to <2>, the GPS
function will also turn off. However, if auto power off is in effect, the
camera will continue to receive GPS signals at regular intervals.
231
Acquiring GPS Signals
GPS Acquisition Status
The GPS acquisition status is indicated
by the [r] icon displayed on the
camera’s LCD panel.
Constant r: Signal acquired
Blinking r: Signal not acquired yet
When you shoot while [r] is
constantly displayed, the image will be
geotagged.
 When [Mode 1] is set, the camera will continue to receive GPS signals at
regular intervals even when the power switch is set to <2>.
Therefore, the battery will drain faster and fewer shots can be taken. If
you will not use the camera for a prolonged period, set to [Disable].
 When [Mode 2] is set, the camera will continue to receive GPS signals at
regular intervals even during auto power off. Therefore, if auto power off
is prolonged, the battery will drain faster and fewer shots can be taken. If
you will not use the camera for a prolonged period, set the power switch
to <2>.
 The built-in GPS antenna is located in front of the hot shoe on the right
when viewed from the back of the camera (p.28). The GPS signal can be
acquired while an external Speedlite is attached to the hot shoe, but the
acquisition sensitivity will slightly decrease.
 GPS Receiver GP-E2 (sold separately) cannot be used.
232
Acquiring GPS Signals
Poor GPS Coverage
Under the following conditions, the GPS satellite signal will not be properly
acquired. As a result, the geotag information may not be recorded or
inaccurate geotag information may be recorded.
 Indoors, underground, in tunnels or forests, between buildings, or in
valleys.
 Near high-voltage power lines or mobile phones operating on the 1.5
GHz band.
 When the camera is left inside a bag, etc.
 When traveling a long distance.
 When traveling through different environments.
 Since GPS satellites move as time passes, satellite movement can
interfere with geotagging and cause missing or inaccurate location
information even in conditions other than the above. Additionally, the
location information may also include a different location information with
the route traveled even if the camera was used at just one location.
 The battery level may be low when you start using the camera due to the
effect of the GPS function. If necessary, recharge the battery or prepare
a charged, spare battery (sold separately).
 The camera can receive GPS signals even when shooting in the vertical
orientation.

 If you perform handheld HDR shooting with [Auto Image Align] set to
[Enable], image periphery will be slightly trimmed and resolution will be
slightly lowered. Also, if the images cannot be aligned properly due to
camera shake, etc., auto image alignment may not take effect. Note that
when shooting with excessively bright (or dark) exposure settings, auto
image alignment may not work properly.
 If you perform handheld HDR shooting with [Auto Image Align] set to
[Disable], the 3 images may not be properly aligned and the HDR effect
may become smaller. Using a tripod is recommended.
 Auto image alignment may not work properly with repetitive patterns
(lattice, stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.
 The color gradation of the sky or white walls may not be reproduced
correctly. Irregular colors, irregular exposure or noise may appear.
 HDR shooting under fluorescent or LED lighting may result in unnatural
color reproduction of the illuminated areas.
 With HDR shooting, the images will be merged, then saved to the card,
so it may take some time. Therefore, it will take a longer time to record
the HDR image to the card than with normal shooting. During the
processing of the images, “buSY” will be displayed in the viewfinder and
on the LCD panel, and you cannot take another picture until the
processing is completed.

 Live View shooting, movie shooting, or bulb exposures cannot be
performed with interval timer.
 For prolonged interval timer shooting, using the household power outlet
accessories (sold separately, p.530) is recommended.
 If a shutter speed longer than the shooting interval, such as a long
exposure, is set, the camera cannot shoot with the set interval. The
camera will thereby shoot fewer still photos than the number set for
interval timer shooting. Also, the number of shots may decrease when
the shutter speed and the shooting interval are nearly the same.
 If the image recording time on the card is longer than the set shooting
interval due to the shooting functions set, card performance, etc., some
of the shots may not be taken with the set intervals.
 If you use flash with interval timer shooting, set an interval longer than
the flash’s recycling time. If the interval is too short, the flash may not
fire.
 If the shooting interval is too short, the camera may not take a picture or
may capture an image without autofocusing.

This chapter explains how to shoot with external EXseries Speedlites (sold separately) and how to set
Speedlite settings on the camera’s menu screen.
285
D Flash Photography
EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlites
Using an EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) makes flash
photography easy.
For detailed instructions, refer to the EX-series Speedlite’s
Instruction Manual. This camera is a Type-A camera that can use all
the features of EX-series Speedlites.
To set the flash functions and flash Custom Functions on the camera’s
menu screen, see pages 289-295.
 Flash exposure compensation
In the same way as normal exposure compensation, flash output
can be adjusted. You can set flash exposure compensation up to
±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments.
Press the camera’s <m> button, then turn the <5> dial while
looking in the viewfinder or at the LCD panel.
 FE lock
This enables you to attain an appropriate flash exposure for
a specific part of the subject. Aim the viewfinder center over
the subject, press the camera’s button, then compose
the shot and take the picture.
286
D Flash Photography
If [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.201) is set to any setting other than
[Disable], the image may still look bright even if a decreased flash exposure
compensation for a darker image is set.
If it is difficult to achieve focus with autofocus, the EOS-dedicated, external
Speedlite will automatically emit the AF-assist beam as necessary.
Canon Speedlites Other Than the EX-series
 With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set to A-TTL or 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 that has manual flash mode, shoot in the
manual flash mode.
287
D Flash Photography
Non-Canon Flash Units
 Sync Speed
The camera can synchronize with non-Canon compact flash units at
1/200 sec. and slower speeds. With large studio flash units, the flash
duration is longer than that of a compact flash unit and varies
depending on the model. Be sure to check before shooting if flash
sync is properly performed by test shooting at a sync speed of
approx. 1/60 sec. to 1/30 sec.
 PC Terminal
 The camera’s PC terminal can be
used with flash units having a sync
cord. The terminal has locking
threads to prevent the cord from
falling off.
 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 unit with Live View shooting, set [z6:
Silent LV shoot.] to [Disable] (p.312). The flash will not be fired 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 with an output
voltage of 250 V or more.
 Do not attach a high-voltage flash unit to the camera’s hot shoe. It may
not be fired.
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.

 Flash zoom (Flash coverage)
With Speedlites having a zooming flash
head, you can set the flash coverage.
Normally, set this to [AUTO] so that the
camera will automatically set the flash
coverage to match the lens focal length.
292
3 Setting the Flash FunctionN
 Shutter synchronization
Normally, set this to [First-curtain
synchronization] so that the flash fires
immediately after the exposure starts.
If [Second-curtain synchronization] is set, the flash will be fired right
before the shutter closes. When this is combined with a slow shutter
speed, you can create a trail of light such as from car headlights at night
with a more natural feel. When second-curtain synchronization is set
together with [ETTL II], the flash will be fired twice in a row: once when
you press the shutter button completely and once right before the end
of the exposure.
If [High-speed synchronization] is set, the flash can be used at all
shutter speeds. This is effective when you want to shoot with
background blur (open aperture) in locations such as outdoors in
daylight.
 Flash exposure compensation
You can set flash exposure
compensation up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop
increments.
For details, refer to the Speedlite’s
Instruction Manual.
 Flash exposure bracketing
While changing the flash output
automatically, three shots will be taken.
For details, refer to the Instruction
Manual of a Speedlite equipped with
flash exposure bracketing.
293
3 Setting the Flash FunctionN
When using second-curtain synchronization, set the shutter speed to 1/25
sec. or slower. If the shutter speed is 1/30 sec. or faster, first-curtain
synchronization will be applied automatically even if [Second-curtain
synchronization] is set.
 With an EX-series Speedlite not compatible with flash function settings,
you can only set the following: [Flash firing], [E-TTL II meter.], and
[Flash exposure compensation] under [Flash function settings].
([Shutter synchronization] can also be set with certain EX-series
Speedlites.)
 If flash exposure compensation is set with the Speedlite, you cannot set
the flash exposure compensation with the camera. If it is set with both
the camera and Speedlite, the Speedlite’s setting overrides the camera’s.

General Live View Shooting Cautions
Image Quality
 When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (such as dots of light and
banding) may become noticeable.
 Shooting in high temperatures may cause noise and irregular colors in
the image.
 If Live View shooting is used continuously for a prolonged period, the
camera’s internal temperature may rise, and image quality may
deteriorate. Always exit Live View shooting when you are not shooting.
 If you shoot a long exposure while the camera’s internal temperature is
high, image quality may deteriorate. Exit Live View shooting and wait a
few minutes before shooting again.
White <s> and Red <E> Internal Temperature Warning Icons
 If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged Live
View shooting or under a high ambient temperature, a white <s> or red
<E> icon will appear.
 The white <s> icon indicates that the image quality of still photos will
deteriorate. It is recommended that you temporarily exit Live View
shooting and allow the camera to cool down before shooting again.
 The red <E> icon indicates that the Live View shooting will soon stop
automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the
camera’s internal temperature decreases. Exit the Live View shooting or
turn off the power and let the camera rest for a while.
 Using Live View shooting at a high temperature for a prolonged period
will cause the <s> or <E> icon to appear earlier. When you are not
shooting, always turn off the camera.
 If the camera’s internal temperature is high, the quality of images shot
with a high ISO speed or long exposure may deteriorate even before the
white <s> icon is displayed.
Shooting Results
 In magnified view, the shutter speed and aperture will be displayed in
red. If you take the picture in magnified view, the exposure may not come
out as desired. Return to the normal view before taking the picture.
 Even if you take the picture in magnified view, the image will be captured
with the image area of the normal view.
331
General Live View Shooting Cautions
Live View Image
 Under low- or bright-light conditions, the Live View image may not reflect
the brightness of the captured image.
 Even if a low ISO speed is set, noise may be noticeable in the displayed
Live View image under low light. However, when you shoot, the image
recorded will have less noise. (The image quality of the Live View image
is different from that of the recorded image.)
 If the light source (illumination) within the image changes, the screen
may flicker. If this happens, exit Live View shooting and resume Live
View shooting under the actual light source.
 If you point the camera in a different direction, it may throw off the Live
View image’s correct brightness momentarily. Wait until the brightness
level stabilizes before shooting.
 If there is a very bright light source in the image, the bright area may
appear black on the LCD monitor. However, the actual captured image
will correctly show the bright area.
 In low light, if you set the [52: LCD brightness] to a bright setting, noise
or irregular colors may appear in the Live View image. However, the
noise or irregular colors will not be recorded in the captured image.
 When you magnify the image, the image sharpness may look more
pronounced than in the actual image.
Custom Functions
 During Live View shooting, certain Custom Functions will not work
(certain settings become invalid). For details, see page 480.
Lens and Flash
 If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer and you set the Image
Stabilizer (IS) switch to <1>, the Image Stabilizer will operate at all
times even if you do not press the shutter button halfway. The Image
Stabilizer consumes battery power and may decrease the number of
possible shots. When the Image Stabilizer is not necessary, such as
when using a tripod, it is recommended that you set the IS switch to
<2>.
 The focus preset function is possible for Live View shooting only when
using a (super) telephoto lens equipped with the focus preset mode
released in and after the second half of 2011.
 FE lock and modeling flash will not work if an external Speedlite is used.

Cautions for Movie Shooting
 Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun
or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image
sensor or the camera’s internal components.
 If you shoot something that has fine detail, moire or false colors may
result.
 Under [51: Record func+card/folder sel.], even if [Record func.] is set
to [Rec. to multiple] (p.167), the movie cannot be recorded to both the
CF card [f] and SD card [g]. Note that if [Rec. separately] or [Rec. to
multiple] is set, the movie will be recorded to the card set for [Playback].
 If <Q> or <Qw> is set and the ISO speed or aperture changes during
movie shooting, the white balance may also change.
 If you shoot a movie under fluorescent or LED lighting, the movie image
may flicker.
 If you perform AF with a USM lens during movie shooting in low light,
horizontal banding noise may be recorded in the movie. The same type
of noise may occur if you focus manually with certain lenses equipped
with an electronic focusing ring.
 Shooting a few test movies is recommended if you intend to perform
zooming during movie shooting. Zooming during movie shooting may
result in recording of changes in exposure or mechanical sound of the
lens, or images may be out of focus.
 During movie shooting, if you perform AF, any of the following may occur:
The focus is temporarily greatly thrown off, changes in movie brightness
is recorded, the movie recording stops momentarily, and the mechanical
sound of the lens is recorded.
 During movie shooting, you cannot magnify the image even if you press
the button.
 Be careful not to cover the built-in microphone (p.334) with your fingers,
etc.
 If you connect or disconnect the HDMI cable during movie shooting, the
movie shooting will end.

k Shooting Movies
Warnings
Do not hold the camera in the same position for long periods of time.
Even if the camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same
body part may cause skin redness or blistering due to low-temperature contact
burns. Using a tripod is recommended for people with circulation problems or
very sensitive skin, or when using the camera in very hot places.
 “General Movie Shooting Cautions” are on pages 391-392.
 If necessary, also read “General Live View Shooting Cautions” on
pages 331-332.
Notes for Movie Shooting
 Under the [z4] and [z5] tabs (the [z2] and [z3] tabs in <A>

 4K movie shooting
Shooting 4K movies requires a high-performance card. For details
on card requirements for movie shooting, see “Cards that Can
Record Movies” on page 356.
Shooting 4K movies or High Frame Rate movies greatly increases
the processing load. Compared with normal movie shooting, the
camera’s internal temperature may increase faster or may
become higher. If the red E icon appears during movie shooting,
it indicates that the card may be hot. Stop the movie shooting and
let the camera cool down before removing the card. (Do not
remove the card right away.)
From a 4K movie, you can select any desired frame to save it as
an approx. 8.8 megapixel (4096x2160) JPEG still image to the
card (p.427).
To obtain better performance with the card, formatting the card with the
camera before shooting movies is recommended (p.73).

 If you change the [53: Video system] setting, also set the movierecording size again.
 Movies shot in 4K, L8/7, or at a high frame rate may not be
played back properly on other devices due to the heavy data processing
load during playback.

3 Setting the Movie Recording Quality
 Movie recording method/Compression rate
J MJPG
Selectable when the movie recording format is [MOV]. Motion
JPEG is used to compress the movie for recording. Without any
compression between frames, each frame is compressed at a time
and recorded. The compression rate is therefore low. Also, since
the image size is large with 4K quality, the file size will be large.
W ALL-I (For editing/I-only)
Selectable when the movie recording format is [MOV].
Compresses each frame at a time for recording. Although the file
size is larger than with IPB (Standard), the movie is better suited in
editing.
X IPB (Standard)
Compresses multiple frames at a time efficiently for recording.
Since the file size is smaller than with ALL-I (For editing), movie
shooting time will be longer (with a card of the same capacity).
IPB (Light)
Selectable when the movie recording format is [MP4]. Since the
movie is recorded at a bit rate lower than with IPB (Standard), the
file size will be smaller than with IPB (Standard) and the playback
compatibility will be higher. Of the four movie-recording methods,
this one provides the longest possible shooting time (with a card of
the same capacity).

3 Setting the Movie Recording Quality
Cards that Can Record Movies
When shooting movies, use a large-capacity card with a reading/writing
speed (required card performance) shown in the table or higher than

High Frame Rate
At HD quality, you can shoot movies at a high frame rate of 119.9 fps or
100.0 fps. Good for shooting movies to be played back in slow motion.
The maximum recording time of one movie clip is 7 min. 29 sec.
The movie will be recorded as w2
W D or w3 W D.
Movie Servo AF will not work for high
frame rate movie shooting. Also, during
high frame rate movie shooting, AF will
not work.
High Frame Rate movies do not record
sound.
If the time code is displayed during movie shooting, it will count up 4
sec. for each sec. in real time.
Since the High Frame Rate movie will be recorded as a 29.97 fps/25.00
fps movie file, it will be played back in slow motion at 1/4 speed.
Cautions for [High Frame Rate: Enable]
 When [Count up] is set to [Free run] under [z5: Time code] (p.365),
the time code will not be recorded.
 [MOV/MP4], [Movie rec. size], and [24.00p] cannot be set.
 Even if you set it back to [Disable], the movie recording size will not
revert to the original setting. Set the movie recording size again.
 If you shoot a High Frame Rate movie under fluorescent or LED lighting,
the movie image may flicker.
 When you start or stop High Frame Rate movie shooting, the movie
image will not be updated temporarily (frame stops momentarily). Be
aware of this when using an external recording device to record the
movie from the HDMI video output.
 During the High Frame Rate movie shooting, the frame rate of the movie
image displayed on the LCD monitor is different from the frame rate of

 Movie Files Exceeding 4 GB
Even if you shoot a movie exceeding 4 GB, you can keep shooting
without interruption.
 Using CF cards up to 128 GB and SD/SDHC cards formatted
with the camera
If you use the camera to format a CF card with 128 GB or less in
capacity or an SD/SDHC card, the camera will format it in FAT32.
With a FAT32-formatted card, if you shoot a movie and the file size
exceeds 4 GB, a new movie file will be created automatically.
When you play back the movie, you will have to play each movie file
individually. Movie files cannot be played back automatically in
consecutive order. After the movie playback ends, select the next
movie and play it back.
 Using CF cards exceeding 128 GB and SDXC cards formatted
with the camera
If you use the camera to format a CF card with more than 128 GB in
capacity or an SDXC card, the camera will format it in exFAT.
When using an exFAT-formatted card, even if the file size exceeds 4
GB during movie shooting, the movie will be saved as a single file
(rather than being split into multiple files).
360
3 Setting the Movie Recording Quality
 When downloading movie files exceeding 4GB to a computer, use either
the EOS Utility (p.594) or a card reader (p.595). Movie files exceeding
4GB will not be downloaded if you perform image download with the
function of a computer (OS).
 Deleting any of the movie files created as a movie shot at one time
exceeding 4GB will make it impossible for EOS MOVIE Utility (p.597) to
play back the movie files consecutively or to merge and save them as a
single movie file.
Using EOS MOVIE Utility, you can automatically merge multiple MOV
format movie files split at 4 GB each and save them as a single movie file.
 Movie Shooting Time Limit
 When shooting movies other than High Frame Rate movies
The maximum recording time of one movie clip is 29 min. 59 sec. If
the movie shooting time reaches 29 min. 59 sec., the movie shooting
will stop automatically. You can start shooting a movie again by
pressing the <0> button. (The movie will be recorded as a new
movie file.)
 When shooting High Frame Rate movies
The maximum recording time of one movie clip is 7 min. 29 sec. If
the movie shooting time reaches 7 min. 29 sec., the movie shooting
will stop automatically. You can start shooting a High Frame Rate
movie again by pressing the <0> button. (The movie will be
recorded as a new movie file.)

will be distorted.
: Sound will not be recorded. Also, sound will not be output
for the HDMI output (p.387).
High Frame Rate movies do not record sound. Also, [z4: Sound
recording] cannot be set.
362
3 Setting the Sound Recording
Wind Filter/Attenuator
Wind filter
Attenuator
: When [Enable] is set, it reduces the wind noise when
recording outdoors. This feature works only when you
use the built-in microphone for movie shooting. Note
that [Enable] reduces low bass sounds, so set it to
[Disable] when there is no wind. It will record a more
natural sound than with [Enable].
: Automatically suppresses sound distortion caused by
loud noises. Even if [Sound rec.] is set to [Auto] or
[Manual] for shooting, sound distortion may still result
if there is a very loud sound. In such a case, setting it
to [Enable] is recommended.
 Using a microphone
Normally, the built-in microphone records monaural sound.
Stereo sound recording is possible by connecting an external stereo
microphone equipped with a miniature stereo plug (3.5 mm
diameter) to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal (p.29) as
the external microphone is given the priority. Using the Directional
Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold separately) is recommended.
 Using headphones
By connecting headphones (commercially-available) equipped with
a 3.5 mm diameter mini plug to the camera’s headphone terminal
(p.29), you can listen to the sound during movie shooting. If you are
using an external stereo microphone, you can listen to the sound in
stereo. To adjust the headphones’ sound volume, press the <Q>
button and select <n>. Then turn <5> to adjust the volume
(p.350).
You can also use headphones during movie playback.
363
3 Setting the Sound Recording
 If you use the Wi-Fi (wireless communication) function with an external
microphone, the sound noise may be recorded. During sound recording,
using the wireless communication function is not recommended.
 When connecting an external microphone or headphones to the camera,
be sure to insert the plug all the way in.
 The camera’s built-in microphone will also record the operation sound
and mechanical sound of the camera during shooting. Use the
Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold separately) to reduce these
sounds in the movie.
 Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the
camera’s external microphone IN terminal.
 When using headphones for audio, noise reduction will not be applied to
the headphone output. Because of this, what you hear will differ from the
actual audio recorded with the movie.
 When listening to the sound with headphones, do not change the
[Sound recording] settings. Doing so may cause a sudden increase in
the sound level and hurt your ears.
 In the <A> mode, [Sound recording] can be set to [On] or [Off]. If [On]
is set, the sound-recording level will be adjusted automatically (same as
with [Auto]), but the wind filter function will not take effect.
 When the camera is connected to a TV set with an HDMI cable, the
sound will also be output (except when [Sound rec.: Disable] is set).
 The sound volume balance between L (left) and R (right) cannot be
adjusted.
 Audio is recorded at a 48 kHz/16-bit sampling rate.
364
3 Setting the Time Code
The time code is a time reference
recorded automatically to synchronize
the movie during movie shooting. It is
recorded at all times in the following
units: hours, minutes, seconds, and
frames. It is mainly used during movie
editing.
Use [z5: Time code] (the [z3] tab in
<A> mode) to set the time code.
Count Up
Rec run
Free run
: The time code counts up only while you are shooting a
movie. The time code will continue in the sequence of the
movie files captured.
: The time code counts up whether you are shooting a
movie or not.
Start Time Setting
You can set the time code’s initial point (start time).
Manual input setting: You can freely set the hour, minute, second, and
frames.
Reset
: The time set with [Manual input setting] and
[Set to camera time] is reset to “00:00:00.” or
“00:00:00:” (p.368).
Set to camera time : Sets hours, minutes, and seconds to match the
camera’s internal clock. “Frames” will be set to “00”.
 If you shoot a High Frame Rate movie with [Free run] set, the time code
will not be appended.
 If [Free run] is set and you change the time, zone, or daylight saving
time (p.51), the time code will be affected.
 If you play back an MP4 movie with a device other than the camera, the
time code may not be displayed properly.

 Time code
The time code can be appended to a movie that is output via HDMI.
Enable: Appends time code to HDMI video output. When [Enable]
is set, [Rec Command] will be displayed.
Disable: Time code not appended to HDMI video output.
 Record command
When a video output via HDMI is recorded by an external recording
device, the camera’s movie shooting start and stop can sync with the
recording by an external recording device.
Enable: The movie shooting start and stop sync with the recording
by an external recording device.
Disable: The recording start and stop are controlled by the external
recording device.
 During High Frame Rate movie shooting, when outputting a movie via
HDMI with [Count up] in [Time code] set to [Free run], the time code
will not be appended to the HDMI video output.
 To check whether your external recording device is compatible with the
[Time code] or [Rec Command], consult the manufacturer of the
external recording device.
 Even if you set [Time code] to [Disable], time code may be appended to
the movie depending on the specifications of the external recording
device. For specifications of time code for HDMI input, consult the
manufacturer of the external recording device.
367
3 Setting the Time Code
Drop Frame
If the frame rate is set to 2 (119.9 fps), 8(59.94 fps), or 6(29.97
fps), the time code’s frame count causes a discrepancy between the
actual time and time code. When [Enable] is set, this discrepancy is
corrected automatically. This correction function is called “drop frame.”
This is for advanced users editing movies.
Enable : The discrepancy is corrected automatically by skipping time
code numbers (DF: Drop frame).
Disable : The discrepancy is not corrected (NDF: Non-drop frame).
The time code will be displayed as follows:
Enable (DF)
: 00:00:00. (Playback time: 00:00:00.00)
Disable (NDF) : 00:00:00: (Playback time: 00:00:00:00)
If the frame rate is 3(100.0 fps), 7(50.00 fps), 5(25.00 fps),
B(24.00 fps), or 4(23.98 fps), the drop frame will not work. (If 3/
7/5/B/4 is set or if [53: Video system] is set to [For PAL],
[Drop frame] will not be displayed.)

 Since multiple frames are merged to create an HDR movie, certain parts
of the movie may look distorted. During handheld shooting, camera
shake may make the distortion look more noticeable. Using a tripod is
recommended. Note that even if a tripod is used for shooting,
afterimages or noise may become more noticeable when the HDR movie
is played back frame-by-frame or in slow-motion compared to normal
playback.
 If [z5: Time-lapse movie] is set to [Enable], HDR movie shooting will
not be possible.
 If you change the HDR movie shooting setting, the color and brightness
of the image may drastically change for a moment. Also, the movie
image will not be updated temporarily (frame stops momentarily). Be
aware of this when using an external recording device to record the
HDMI video output.

 Movie Servo AF SpeedN
You can set the Movie Servo AF’s AF
speed and its operation conditions.
This function is settable when [Movie
Servo AF] is set to [Enable] and [AF
method] is set to [FlexiZone - Single].
Additionally, the function is enabled
when using a lens supporting slow focus
transition during movie shooting*.
When active : [Always on] sets the AF adjustment speed to take effect
at all times for movie shooting (before and during movie
shooting). [During shooting] sets the AF adjustment
speed to take effect only during movie shooting.
AF speed
: You can adjust the AF speed (focus transition speed)
from standard speed to slow (one of seven levels) or
fast (one of two levels) to obtain the desired effect for
movie creation.
* Lenses supporting slow focus transition during movie shooting
USM and STM lenses released in and after 2009 are compatible. For
details, refer to Canon website.
Setting [AF method] to [u+Tracking] or [FlexiZone - Multi] gives the
same effect as [AF speed] set to [Standard (0)].

 Movie Servo AF tracking sensitivityN
You can change the Movie Servo AF’s
tracking sensitivity to one of seven
levels. This affects the responsiveness of
AF tracking sensitivity when the subject
strays from the AF points, such as during
panning or when an obstacle cuts across
the AF points.
This function is settable when [Movie
Servo AF] is set to [Enable] and [AF
method] is set to [FlexiZone - Single].
Locked on: -3/-2/-1
This setting makes the camera less inclined to track a different subject if
the AF point loses the original subject. The closer the setting is to the
minus (-) symbol, the less the camera is inclined to track a different
subject. It is effective when you want to prevent the AF points from
rapidly tracking something that is not the intended subject during
panning or when an obstacle cuts across the AF points.
Responsive: +1/+2/+3
This makes the camera more responsive when tracking a subject that
covers the AF point. The closer the setting is to the plus (+) symbol, the
more responsive the camera is. It is effective when you want to keep
tracking a moving subject as its distance from the camera changes or to
rapidly focus on another subject.
Setting [AF method] to [u+Tracking] or [FlexiZone - Multi] gives the
same effect as setting [0].

warnings on the HDMI output device’s screen. Be particularly careful
when setting [awithout info]. When [A+a] is set, you can see the
warnings displayed on the camera’s LCD monitor.
 When you are not shooting a movie, the power will turn off automatically
after the set time for [52: Auto power off] elapses. If you select
[A+a] and set [52: Auto power off] to [Disable], the HDMI output
will stop if you do not operate the camera for 30 min. (movie shooting will
be cancelled).
 With [awithout info] set and you press the buttons such as <n>
or <m>, the setting screen may be displayed in the HDMI video
output. While recording a movie to an external recording device,
operating the buttons is not recommended.
 Depending on the viewing environment, the brightness and color of the

compatible with the commercially-available, external recording
device you will use to record the movie via HDMI output.
 When [24.00p] under [z4: Movie rec quality] is set to [Enable], you
cannot set [54: HDMI frame rate]. The movie will be output at 1080/
24.00p via HDMI.
 The HDMI output during High Frame Rate movie shooting will not output
the movie at 119.9p/100.0p.
 HDMI output with the High Frame Rate setting will have the 59.94p/
50.00p movie image according to the [54: HDMI frame rate] setting.
 The selectable frame rates vary depending on the [53: Video system]
setting.
 If the picture does not appear on the HDMI output device, set the [53:
Video system] correctly to [For NTSC] or [For PAL] (depending on the

General Movie Shooting Cautions
Red <E> Internal Temperature Warning Icon
 If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged movie
shooting or under a high ambient temperature, a red <E> icon will
appear.
 The red <E> icon indicates that movie shooting will soon be terminated
automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the
camera’s internal temperature decreases. Turn off the power and let the
camera rest for a while.
 Shooting a movie at a high temperature for a prolonged period will cause
the <E> icon to appear earlier. When you are not shooting, always turn
off the camera.
Recording and Image Quality
 If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer and you set the Image
Stabilizer (IS) switch to <1>, the Image Stabilizer will operate at all
times even if you do not press the shutter button halfway. The Image
Stabilizer consumes battery power and may shorten the total movie
shooting time depending on the shooting conditions. When the Image
Stabilizer is not necessary, such as when using a tripod, it is
recommended that you set the IS switch to <2>.
 With autoexposure shooting or shutter-priority AE, if the brightness
changes during movie shooting, the movie image may freeze
momentarily. In such a case, shoot movies with aperture-priority AE or
manual exposure.
 If there is a very bright light source in the image, the bright area may
appear black on the LCD monitor. The movie will be recorded almost
exactly as it appears on the LCD monitor.
 In low light, noise or irregular colors may appear in the image. The movie
will be recorded almost exactly as it appears on the LCD monitor.
 If you play back a movie with other devices, image or sound quality may
deteriorate or playback may not be possible (even if the devices support
MOV/MP4 format).
391
General Movie Shooting Cautions
Recording and Image Quality
 If you use a card with a slow writing speed, a five-level
indicator may appear on the right of the screen during
movie shooting. It indicates how much data has not
yet been written to the card (remaining capacity of the
internal buffer memory). The slower the card, the
faster the indicator will climb upward. If the indicator
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. First,
shoot a few test movies to see if the card can write fast enough.
 If the indicator indicates that the card is full and movie shooting stops
automatically, the sound near the end of the movie may not be recorded
properly.
 If the card’s writing speed is slow (due to fragmentation) and the indicator
appears, formatting the card may make the writing speed faster.
Restrictions on MP4-format Movies
Note that generally, the following restrictions apply to MP4-format movies.
 Sound will not be recorded for approx. the last two frames.
 When you play back movies on Windows, movie images and sound may
become slightly out of synchronization.

camera’s LCD monitor.
You can also edit out the movie’s first
and last scenes, select a desired frame
from a 4K movie and save it as a still

Sensor Cleaning
The camera has a Self Cleaning Sensor Unit to
automatically shake off dust adhered to the image
sensor’s front layer (low-pass filter).
The Dust Delete Data can also be appended to the
image so that the dust spots remaining can be deleted
automatically by Digital Photo Professional (EOS
software, p.596).
Smudges adhering to the front of the sensor
Besides dust entering the camera from outside, in rare cases,
lubricant from the camera’s internal parts may adhere to the front of
the sensor. If visible spots still remain after the automatic sensor
cleaning, having the sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is
recommended.
457
f Automatic Sensor Cleaning
Whenever you set the power switch to <1> or <2>, the Self
Cleaning Sensor Unit is activated to automatically shake off any dust on
the front of the sensor. Normally, you need not pay attention to this

459
3 Appending Dust Delete DataN
Normally, the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit will eliminate most of the dust
that may be visible on captured images. However, for the case where
visible dust still remains, you can append the Dust Delete Data to the
image for erasing the dust spots later. The Dust Delete Data is used by
Digital Photo Professional (EOS software, p.596) to erase the dust
spots automatically.
Preparation
 Prepare a solid white object such as a sheet of paper.
 Set the lens focal length to 50 mm or longer.
 Set the lens’s focus mode switch to <MF> and set the focus to

3 Appending Dust Delete DataN
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, it is
recommended that you update the Dust Delete Data by obtaining it
again.
For details about using Digital Photo Professional (EOS software,
p.596) to erase dust spots, refer to the Digital Photo Professional
Instruction Manual.
The Dust Delete Data appended to the image is so small that it hardly
affects the image file size.
Be sure to use a solid-white object such as a new sheet of white paper. If the
object has any pattern or design, it may be recognized as dust data and
affect the accuracy of the dust deletion with the Digital Photo Professional
(EOS software).
462
3 Manual Sensor CleaningN
Dust that could not be removed by the automatic sensor cleaning can
be removed manually with a commercially-available blower, etc. Before
cleaning the sensor, detach the lens from the camera.

ISO: ISO speed
Works in the <d> Program AE, <s> shutter-priority AE, and
<f> aperture-priority AE modes. If the subject brightness
changes and the standard exposure cannot be obtained within the

Same exposure for new aperture
C.Fn1
If the <a> mode (manual exposure shooting) is set and the ISO
speed is set manually (except when set to ISO Auto), the open
aperture value may change to a higher number (a smaller aperture) if
you perform any of the following: 1. Change the lens, 2. Attach an
extender, or 3. Use a zoom lens whose open aperture value (f/number)
changes. If you then shoot while the maximum aperture is set, the
image will be underexposed by the amount the maximum aperture f/
number changes to a higher number. However, by changing the ISO
speed or shutter speed (Tv) automatically, you can obtain the same
exposure that would be obtained without performing 1, 2, or 3.
OFF: Disable
Automatic changes in settings to maintain the specified exposure
will not be applied. The ISO speed, shutter speed, and aperture
already set will be used for shooting. If you perform 1, 2, or 3 and
the maximum aperture becomes slower, adjust the ISO speed and
shutter speed before you shoot.
ISO: ISO speed
If you perform 1, 2, or 3, a higher ISO speed will be set
automatically to compensate for the number of stops the maximum
aperture has become slower. The same exposure that would be
obtained without performing 1, 2, or 3 is thereby obtained. The ISO
speed will change automatically within the range set with [Range
for stills].
ISO/Tv: ISO speed/Shutter speed
If you perform 1, 2, or 3, a higher ISO speed will be set
automatically to compensate for the number of stops the maximum
aperture has become slower. If the ISO speed reaches the upper
limit of the range set with [Range for stills], a slower shutter
speed will be set automatically. The same exposure that would be
obtained without performing 1, 2, or 3 is thereby obtained. The
shutter speed will change automatically within the range set with
[82: Set shutter speed range].

Tv: Shutter speed
If you perform 1, 2, or 3, a slower shutter speed will automatically
be set to compensate for the number of stops the maximum
aperture has become slower. The same exposure that would be
obtained without performing 1, 2, or 3 is thereby obtained. The
shutter speed will change automatically within the range set with
[82: Set shutter speed range].
This function also works in the reverse with the above options: When
the maximum aperture f/number changes to a smaller number (larger
aperture opening).
 This function does not work with macro lenses whose effective aperture
value changes when the magnification changes.
 This function does not work during movie shooting.
 If [ISO speed] is set and the exposure cannot be maintained within the
range set with [Range for stills], the same exposure that would be
obtained without performing 1, 2, or 3 cannot be obtained.
 If [Shutter speed] is set and the exposure cannot be maintained within
the range set with [82: Set shutter speed range], the same exposure
that would be obtained without performing 1, 2, or 3 cannot be obtained.
 If you perform 1, 2, or 3 and the camera turns off (power switch is set to
<2>, etc.) while the exposure is being maintained, the standard
exposure will be updated to the exposure at the moment the camera
turns off.
 This function also works with changes in the highest f/number (minimum
aperture).
 With [ISO speed] or [Shutter speed] set, if you perform 1, 2, or 3 and
then return to the state before performing 1, 2, or 3 without manually
changing the ISO speed, shutter speed, or aperture, the original
exposure setting will be restored.

H Using Eye-Fi Cards
With a commercially-available Eye-Fi card already set up, you can
automatically transfer captured images to a computer or upload them to
an online service via a wireless LAN.
The image transfer is a function of the Eye-Fi card. For instructions on
how to set up and use the Eye-Fi card or to troubleshoot any image
transfer problems, refer to the Eye-Fi card’s instruction manual or
contact the card manufacturer.
The camera is not guaranteed to support Eye-Fi card
functions (including wireless transfer). In case of a problem
with an Eye-Fi card, please check with the card manufacturer.
Also note that approval is required to use Eye-Fi cards in
many countries or regions. Without approval, use of the card
is not permitted. If it is unclear whether the card has been
approved for use in your area, please check with the card
manufacturer.

H Using Eye-Fi Cards
Cautions for Using Eye-Fi Cards
 If [Wi-Fi/NFC] under [54: Wireless communication settings] [Built-in
wireless settings] is set to [Enable], image transfer with an Eye-Fi card
will not be possible.
 If “J” is displayed, an error occurred while retrieving the card
information. Turn the camera’s power switch off and on again.
 Even if [Eye-Fi trans.] is set to [Disable], it may still transmit a signal. In
hospitals, airports, and other places where wireless transmissions are
prohibited, remove the Eye-Fi card from the camera beforehand.
 If the image transfer does not function, check the Eye-Fi card and
computer settings. For details, refer to the card’s instruction manual.
 Depending on the wireless LAN’s connection conditions, the image
transfer may take longer or it may be interrupted.
 Because of the communication function, the Eye-Fi card may become
hot.
 The camera’s battery power will be consumed faster.
 During the image transfer, auto power off will not take effect.
 If you insert a wireless LAN card other than an Eye-Fi card, [51: Eye-Fi
settings] will not appear. Also, the transmission status icon <H> will not
appear.

Troubleshooting Guide
If a problem occurs with the camera, first consult 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 does not recharge.
 If the battery’s remaining capacity is 94% or higher, the battery will
not be recharged (p.526).
 Do not use any battery other than genuine Canon Battery Pack
LP-E6N/LP-E6.
The charger’s lamp blinks at high speed.
 If (1) the battery charger or battery has a problem or (2)
communication with the battery failed (with a non-Canon battery
pack), the protection circuit will stop charging, and the charge
lamp will blink in orange at a high speed. In the case of (1), unplug
the charger’s power plug from the power outlet. Detach and
reattach the battery to the charger. Wait a few 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 attached to the charger is
high, the charger will not charge the battery for safety reasons (lamp
off). During charging, if the battery’s temperature becomes high for
any reason, charging will stop automatically (lamp blinks). When the
battery temperature goes down, charging will resume automatically.
The camera is not activated even when the power switch is set to <1>.

Recharge the battery (p.42).
Make sure the card slot cover is closed (p.45).
Troubleshooting Guide
The access lamp still lights or blinks even when
the power switch is <2>.
 If the power is turned off while an image is being recorded to the
card, the access lamp will remain on or continue to blink for a few
seconds. When the image recording is completed, the power will
turn off automatically.
[Does this battery/do these batteries display the Canon logo?]
is displayed.
 Do not use any battery other than genuine Canon Battery Pack
LP-E6N/LP-E6.
 Remove and install the battery again (p.44).
 If the electrical contacts are dirty, use a soft cloth to clean them.
The battery becomes exhausted quickly.
 Use a fully-charged battery (p.42).
 The battery performance may have degraded. See [53: Battery
info.] to check the battery’s recharge performance level (p.526). If
the battery performance is poor, replace the battery with a new
one.
 The number of possible shots will decrease with any of the
following operations:
• Pressing the shutter button halfway for a prolonged period.
• Activating the AF frequently without taking a picture.
• Using the lens’s Image Stabilizer.
• Using GPS.
• Using the LCD monitor frequently.
• Continuing Live View shooting or movie shooting for a prolonged
period.
• Using the Wi-Fi/NFC (wireless communication) function
frequently.
• The Eye-Fi card’s transmission is enabled.
555
Troubleshooting Guide
The camera turns off by itself.
 Auto power off is in effect. If you do not want auto power off to
take effect, set [52: Auto power off] to [Disable] (p.76).
 Even if [52: Auto power off] is set to [Disable], the LCD monitor
will still turn off after the camera is left idle for approx. 30 min. (The
camera’s power does not turn off.)
Shooting-Related Problems
The lens cannot be attached.
 The camera cannot be used with EF-S or EF-M lenses (p.55).
The viewfinder is dark.
 Install a recharged battery in the camera (p.42).
No images can be shot or recorded.
 Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.45).
 If you are using an SD card, slide the card’s write-protect switch to
the Write/Erase setting (p.45).
 If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images
to make space (p.45, 439).
 If you try to focus in the One-Shot AF mode and the focus
indicator <o> in the viewfinder blinks, or when the AF point is
orange during Live View/movie shooting, a picture cannot be
taken. Press the shutter button halfway again to refocus
automatically, or focus manually (p.58, 159).
556
Troubleshooting Guide
The card cannot be used.
 If a card error message is displayed, see page 48 or 573.
An error message is displayed when
the card is inserted in another camera.
 CF cards with a capacity greater than 128 GB and SDXC cards
are formatted in exFAT. This means that if you format a card with
this camera and then insert it into another camera, an error may
be displayed and it may not be possible to use the card.
I have to press the shutter button twice
completely to take a picture.
 Set [z4: Mirror lockup] to [Disable].
The image is out of focus or blurred.
 Set the lens’s focus mode switch to <AF> (p.55).
 Press the shutter button gently to prevent camera shake (p.57,
58).
 If the lens has an Image Stabilizer, set the IS switch to <1>.
 In low light, the shutter speed may become slow. Use a faster
shutter speed (p.246), set a higher ISO speed (p.177), use flash
(p.286), or use a tripod.
 See “Minimizing Blurred Photos” on page 96.
557
Troubleshooting Guide
There are fewer AF points or the Area AF frame shape is different.
 Depending on the attached lens, the number of usable AF points
and patterns and Area AF frame’s shape vary. The lenses are
categorized into 11 groups from A to K (p.115). Check which
group your lens belongs to. Using a lens in groups G to K will have
fewer usable AF points (p.118-121).
The AF point is blinking or two AF points are displayed.
 Regarding the AF points lighting up or blinking when you press
the <S> button, see page 108.
 The registered AF point at that position is blinking (p.108, 500).
 The manually-selected AF point (or zone) and the registered AF
point are displayed (p.107, 500).
I cannot lock the focus and recompose the shot.
 Set the AF operation to One-Shot AF (p.100, 101, 314). Focus
lock (p.97, 101) is not possible with AI Servo AF/Servo AF (p.102,
315) and when servo AF is used with AI Focus AF (p.102).
The AF points do not light up in red.
 The AF points light up in red only when focus is achieved in low
light or with a dark subject.
 In the <d>, <s>, <f>, <a>, or <F> mode, you can set
whether to have the AF points light in red for when focus is
achieved (p.150).
558
Troubleshooting Guide
The continuous shooting speed is slow.
 The continuous shooting speed for high-speed continuous
shooting may decrease depending on the power source type,
battery level, temperature, flicker reduction, Dual Pixel RAW
shooting, Digital Lens Optimizer, shutter speed, aperture, subject
conditions, brightness, AF operation, lens, flash use, shooting
function settings, etc. For details, see pages 160-162.
The maximum burst during continuous shooting is lower.
 If you shoot something that has fine detail such as a field of grass,
the file size will be larger, and the actual maximum burst may be
lower than the number listed on page 171.
 If [Rec. separately] is set and different image-recording quality are
set for the CF card (Card1) and SD card (Card2), the maximum
burst for continuous shooting will decrease.
 Under [z1: Lens aberration correction], if [Digital Lens
Optimizer] is set to [Enable], the maximum burst for continuous
shooting will greatly decrease.
 If [z1: Dual Pixel RAW] is set to [Enable] and the imagerecording quality is 1, the maximum burst for continuous
shooting will decrease.
Even after I change the card, the maximum burst
displayed for continuous shooting does not change.
 The maximum burst displayed in the viewfinder does not change
when you change the card, even if it is a high-speed card. The
maximum burst shown in the table on page 171 is based on
Canon’s testing card. (The faster the card’s writing speed, the
higher the actual maximum burst will be.) Therefore, the
maximum burst displayed in the viewfinder may differ from the
actual maximum burst.
559
Troubleshooting Guide
Dual Pixel RAW shooting is not possible.
 Set [z1: Dual Pixel RAW] to [Enable], and set [z1: Image
quality] to 1 or 1+JPEG.
ISO 100 cannot be set. ISO speed expansion cannot be selected.
 If [z3: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable], the settable
ISO speed range will be ISO 200 - ISO 32000. Even if you set
[Range for stills] to expand the setting range, you cannot select
L (equivalent to ISO 50), H1 (equivalent to ISO 51200), or H2
(equivalent to ISO 102400). When [z3: Highlight tone priority]
is set to [Disable] (p.206), you can set ISO 100/125/160, L, or H1/
H2.
Even if I set a decreased exposure compensation,
the image comes out bright.
 Set [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer] to [Disable] (p.201). When
[Low], [Standard], or [High] is set, even if you set a decreased
exposure compensation or flash exposure compensation, the
image may come out bright.
I cannot set the exposure compensation when
both manual exposure and ISO Auto are set.
 See page 252 to set the exposure compensation.
 For flash shooting, exposure compensation will not take effect.
Not all the lens aberration correction options are displayed.
 If [Digital Lens Optimizer] under [z1: Lens aberration
correction] is set to [Enable], [Chromatic aberr corr] and
[Diffraction correction] will not be displayed. However, the
[Enable] setting for both [Chromatic aberr corr] and [Diffraction
correction] will take effect for shooting.
 During movie shooting, [Distortion correction], [Digital Lens
Optimizer] or [Diffraction correction] will not be displayed.
560
Troubleshooting Guide
The shot image is not displayed during
multiple-exposure shooting.
 If [On:ContShtng] is set, image review immediately after image
capture or image playback is not possible during shooting (p.268).
The multiple-exposure image is shot in 1 quality.
 When the image-recording quality is set to 41 or 61, the
multiple-exposure image will be recorded in 1 quality (p.275).
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 automatically becomes slow (slow-sync shooting) so that
both the subject and background are properly exposed. To
prevent a slow shutter speed, under [z1: External Speedlite
control], set [Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to [1/200-1/60sec.
auto] or [1/200 sec. (fixed)] (p.290).
The flash does not fire.
 Make sure the flash (or PC sync cord) is securely attached to the
camera.
 If you use a non-Canon flash unit with Live View shooting, set
[z6: Silent LV shoot.] to [Disable] (p.312).
The flash always fires at full output.
 If you use a flash unit other than an EX-series Speedlite, the flash
will always be fired at full output (p.287).
 When the flash Custom Function setting for [Flash metering
mode] is set to [TTL flash metering] (autoflash), the flash will
always be fired at full output (p.294).
561
Troubleshooting Guide
Flash exposure compensation cannot be set.
 If flash exposure compensation is already set with the Speedlite,
flash exposure compensation cannot be set with the camera.
When the external Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation is
canceled (set to 0), flash exposure compensation can be set with
the camera.
High-speed sync cannot be set in the <f> mode.
 Under [z1: External Speedlite control], set [Flash sync.
speed in Av mode] to [Auto] (p.290).
The shutter makes two release sounds during Live View shooting.
 If you use flash, the shutter will make two release sounds each
time you shoot (p.300).
During Live View shooting, a white <s> or
red <E> icon is displayed.
 It indicates that the camera’s internal temperature is high. If the
white <s> icon is displayed, the still photo’s image quality may
deteriorate. If the red <E> icon is displayed, it indicates that the
Live View shooting will soon stop automatically (p.331).
Shot images are not displayed when continuous shooting
is performed during Live View shooting.
 If the image-recording quality is set to 41 or 61, the shot
images are not displayed during continuous shooting (p.299).
562
Troubleshooting Guide
During movie shooting, the red E icon is displayed.
 It indicates that the camera’s internal temperature is high. If the
red <E> icon is displayed, it indicates that the movie shooting will
soon stop automatically (p.391).
Movie shooting stops by itself.
 If the card’s writing speed is slow, movie shooting may stop
automatically. For cards that can record movies, see page 356. To
find out the card’s writing speed, refer to the card manufacturer’s
website.
 If you shoot a movie for 29 min. 59 sec. or shoot a High Frame
Rate movie for 7 min. 29 sec., the movie shooting will stop
automatically.
The ISO speed cannot be set for movie shooting.
 If the shooting mode is <A>, <d>, <s>, <f>, or <F>, the
ISO speed will be set automatically. In the <a> mode, you can
freely set the ISO speed (p.341).
ISO 100 cannot be set or ISO speed expansion cannot
be selected during movie shooting.
 If [z3: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable], the settable
ISO speed range will start from ISO 200. Even if you set [Range
for movies] or [Range for H] for ISO speed expansion, you
cannot select H, H1, or H2. When [z3: Highlight tone priority]
is set to [Disable] (p.206), you can set ISO 100/125/160, or an
expanded ISO speed.
 During HDR movie shooting, expanded ISO speeds cannot be
selected.
563
Troubleshooting Guide
The manually set ISO speed changes when
switching to movie shooting.
 For viewfinder shooting and Live View shooting, the ISO speed
will be set according to the setting of [Range for stills] under
[z2: ISO speed settings] (p.180). For movie shooting, the ISO
speed will be set according to the setting of [Range for movies]
or [Range for H] under [z2: ISO speed settings] (p.379).
The exposure changes during movie shooting.
 If you change the shutter speed or aperture during movie
shooting, the changes in the exposure may be recorded.
 Shooting a few test movies is recommended if you intend to
perform zooming during movie shooting. Zooming during movie
shooting may result in recording of changes in exposure or
mechanical sound of the lens, or images may be out of focus.
The image flickers or horizontal
stripes appear during movie shooting.
 Flickering, horizontal stripes (noise), or irregular exposures can be
caused by fluorescent lighting, LED lighting, or other light sources
during movie shooting. Also, changes in the exposure (brightness)
or color tone may be recorded. In the <s> or <a> mode, a
slow shutter speed may reduce the problem. The problem may be
more noticeable in time-lapse movie shooting.
564
Troubleshooting Guide
The subject looks distorted during movie shooting.
 If you move the camera to the left or right (panning) or shoot a
moving subject, the image may look distorted. The problem may
be more noticeable in time-lapse movie shooting.
The movie does not record the sound.
 High Frame Rate movies do not record sound.
The time code is not appended.
 For High Frame Rate movie shooting, if [Free run] is set for
[Count up] under [z5: Time code] (p.365), the time code will not
be appended. Also, if there is HDMI output, the time code will not
be appended to the HDMI video output (p.367).
The time code’s count is faster.
 For High Frame Rate movie shooting, it will count up by 4 sec. for
every sec. in real time (p.358).
I cannot take still photos during movie shooting.
 Still photos cannot be taken during movie shooting. To take still
photos, stop the movie shooting and take still photos using
viewfinder shooting or Live View shooting.
565
