Safety Warnings

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

Preventing Serious Injury or Death

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

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

- Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery pack or back-up battery. Do not apply heat or apply solder to the battery pack or back-up battery. Do not expose the battery pack or back-up battery to fire or water. And do not subject the battery pack or back-up battery to strong physical shock.

- Do not install the battery pack or back-up battery in reversed polarity (+ –). Do not mix new and old or different types of batteries.

- Do not recharge the battery pack outside the allowable ambient temperature range of 0°C - 40°C (32°F - 104°F). Also, do not exceed the recharging time.

- Do not insert any foreign metallic objects into the electrical contacts of the camera, accessories, connecting cables, etc.

• Keep the back-up battery away from children. If a child swallows the battery, consult a physician immediately. (Battery chemicals may harm the stomach and intestines.)

• When disposing of a battery pack or back-up battery, insulate the electrical contacts with tape to prevent contact with other metallic objects or batteries. This is to prevent fire or an explosion.

• If excessive heat, smoke, or fumes are emitted during battery pack recharging, immediately unplug the battery charger from the power outlet to stop the recharging and prevent a fire.

• If the battery pack or back-up battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or fumes, remove it immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process.

• Prevent any battery leakage from contacting your eyes, skin, and clothing. It can cause blindness or skin problems. If the battery leakage contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing, flush the affected area with lots of clean water without rubbing it. See a physician immediately.

• During the recharging, keep the equipment away from the reach of children. The cord can accidentally choke the child or give an electrical shock.

• Do not leave any cords near a heat source. It can deform the cord or melt the insulation and cause a fire or electrical shock.

• Do not fire the flash at someone driving a car. It may cause an accident.

• Do not fire the flash near a person’s eyes. It may impair the person’s vision. When using flash to photograph an infant, keep at least 1 meter away.

• Before storing the camera or accessory when not in use, remove the battery pack and disconnect the power plug. This is to prevent electrical shock, heat generation, and fire.

• Do not use the equipment where there is flammable gas. This is to prevent an explosion or fire.

6

• If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts, do not touch the internal parts due to the possibility of electrical shock.

• Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. High-voltage internal parts can cause electrical shock.

• Do not look at the sun or an extremely bright light source through the camera or lens.

Doing so may damage your vision.

• Keep the camera from the reach of small children. The neck strap can accidentally choke the child.

• Do not store the equipment in dusty or humid places. This is to prevent fire and electrical shock.

• Before using the camera inside an airplane or hospital, check if it is allowed.

Electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the plane’s instruments or the hospital’s medical equipment.

• To prevent fire and electrical shock, follow the safeguards below:

- Always insert the power plug all the way in.

- Do not handle a power plug with wet hands.

- When unplugging a power plug, grasp and pull the plug instead of the cord.

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

Also do not twist or tie the cords.

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

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

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

Preventing Injury or Equipment Damage

• Do not leave equipment inside a car under the hot sun or near a heat source. The equipment may become hot and cause skin burns.

• Do not carry the camera around while it is attached to a tripod. Doing so may cause injury. Also make sure the tripod is sturdy enough to support the camera and lens.

• Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera under the sun without the lens cap attached. Otherwise, the lens may concentrate the sun’s rays and cause a fire.

• Do not cover or wrap the battery-recharging apparatus with a cloth. Doing so may trap heat within and cause the casing to deform or catch fire.

• If you drop the camera in water or if water or metal fragments enter inside the camera, promptly remove the battery pack and back-up battery. This is to prevent fire and electrical shock.

• Do not use or leave the battery pack or back-up battery in a hot environment. Doing so may cause battery leakage or a shorter battery life. The battery pack or back-up battery can also become hot and cause skin burns.

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

Doing so may cause fire or a health hazard.

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

Handling Precautions

Camera Care

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

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

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

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

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

High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.

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

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

Center.

¡ Do not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your fingers. This is to prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause camera misoperation.

¡ If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room, condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.

¡ If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid damaging the camera. If this occurs, remove the lens, CF card and battery from the camera, then wait until the condensation has evaporated before using the camera.

¡ If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while the camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a while to check that the camera is still working.

¡ Avoid storing the camera where there are corrosive chemicals such as in a darkroom or chemical lab.

¡ If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions before using the camera. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is an important shoot coming up, have the camera checked by your

Canon dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.

Handling Precautions

LCD Panel and LCD Monitor

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

¡ At low temperatures, the liquid-crystal display response may become slower.

And at high temperatures, the display may blacken. In either case, the display will return to normal at room temperature.

CF Card

¡ The CF card is a precision device. Do not drop the memory card or subject it to vibration. Doing so could damage the images recorded on them.

¡ Do not store or use a memory card near anything having a strong magnetic field such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places prone to having static electricity. Otherwise, the images recorded on the CF card might be lost.

¡ Do not leave memory cards in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Doing so can warp the cards and make them unusable.

¡ Do not spill any liquid onto the CF card.

¡ Always store your CF cards in a case to protect the data stored on them.

¡ Non-Canon CF cards may not be able to record and playback images. Using

Canon CF cards is recommended.

¡ Do not bend the card or subject it to any excessive force or physical shock.

¡ Do not store CF cards in hot, dusty, or humid locations.

About the RAW

The RAW assumes that the image will undergo post-processing with a personal computer. Special knowledge is required, but you can use the bundled software to obtain the optimum effect.

Image processing refers to adjusting the RAW image’s white balance, contrast, etc., to create the desired image.

Note that RAW images will not work with direct printing or DPOF.

Max. Burst During Continuous Shooting

The maximum burst during continuous shooting depends on the imagerecording quality. The approx. maximum burst during continuous shooting is indicated below for each image-recording quality.

Note that with high-speed CF cards, the maximum burst may be higher than shown in the table below depending on the shooting conditions.

¡ The number of shots remaining during the maximum burst is displayed on the lower right of the viewfinder.

Max. Burst

¡ If “9” is displayed, it indicates that the maximum burst is nine or more shots. If “5” is displayed, it is five shots.

¡ While you are shooting and the remaining maximum burst is fewer than 9, the viewfinder will display “8”, “7”, etc. If you stop the continuous shooting, the maximum burst will increase.

The above table’s figures for the maximum burst apply when all the captured images have been processed internally and written to the CF card.

54

¡ With white balance bracketing (p.60), the maximum burst will be 2 shots.

¡ The maximum burst is displayed even when the drive mode is set to

< u> (Single) or <j>. The maximum burst is displayed even when a CF card is not in the camera. Therefore, before shooting, make sure that a

CF card is installed in the camera.

Z Setting the ISO SpeedN

The ISO speed is a numeric indication of the sensitivity to light. A higher

ISO speed number indicates a higher sensitivity to light. Therefore, a high ISO speed is suited for low light and moving subjects. However, the image may look more grainy with noise, etc. On the other hand, a low

ISO speed is not suited for low light or action shots, but the image will look finer. The camera can be set between ISO 100 and 1600 in 1-stop increments.

ISO Speed in the Basic Zone Modes

The ISO speed is set automatically within ISO 100-400.

ISO Speed in the Creative Zone Modes

You can set the ISO speed to [100] [200] [400] [800] [1600].

1

Press the < WZ> button.

s The [ISO speed] menu will be displayed.

2

About White Balance

The three RGB (red, green, and blue) primary colors exist in the light source in varying proportions depending on the color temperature. When the color temperature is high, there is more blue. And when the color temperature is low, there is more red. To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of the type of lighting. With a digital camera, the color temperature can be adjusted with software so that the colors in the image look more natural. The subject’s white color is used as the criteria for adjusting the other colors. The camera’s < Q> setting uses the image sensor for auto white balance.

58

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

3

White Balance Correction N

You can correct the standard color temperature for the white balance setting. This adjustment will have the same effect as using a color temperature conversion or color compensating filter. Each color can be corrected to one of nine levels. Users familiar with using color temperature conversion or color compensating filters will find this feature handy.

Sample setting: A2, G1

White Balance Auto Bracketing N

With just one shot, three images having a different color hue can be recorded simultaneously. Based on the white balance mode’s color temperature, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bias or magenta/green bias. This is called white balance bracketing. It can be set up to ±3 levels in single-level increments.

Take the picture.

s If B/A bracketing has been set, the three images will be recorded onto the CF card in the following sequence: Normal white balance, blue bias, and amber bias. If M/G bracketing has been set, the sequence will be normal white balance, magenta bias, and green bias.

Canceling White Balance Auto Bracketing

¡ In step 3, set “BKT” to “±0” (set to “ ”, 1 point).

¡ If the image-recording quality is set to RAW or RAW+ 7L, white balance bracketing cannot be used.

¡ With white balance bracketing set, the maximum burst will be 2 shots.

¡ When you set white balance bracketing, the possible number of shots displayed on the LCD panel will decrease to one-third the normal number.

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

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

¡ “BKT” stands for bracketing.

About Adobe RGB

This is mainly used for commercial printing and other industrial uses.This setting is not recommended if you do not know about image processing, Adobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File System 2.0

(Exif 2.21).

Since the image will look very subdued in an sRGB personal computer environment and with printers not compatible with Design rule for

Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21), post-processing of the image with software will be required.

62

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

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

Software Instruction Manual (PDF).

s With evaluative metering, the exposure setting

(shutter speed and aperture) will also be set when focus is achieved. The exposure setting and focus will be locked as long as the shutter button is pressed halfway. (p.75) You can then recompose the shot while retaining the exposure setting and point of focus.

If focus cannot be achieved, the focus confirmation light < o> in the viewfinder will blink. If this occurs, a picture cannot be taken even if the shutter button is pressed fully. Recompose the picture and try and focus again. Or see “When Autofocus Fails (Manual Focusing)” (p.76).

AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects

While you press the shutter button halfway, the camera focuses continuously.

¡ This AF mode is for moving subjects when the focusing distance keeps changing.

s With predictive AF*, the camera can also focus track a subject which steadily approaches or retreats from the camera.

f Selecting the AF ModeN

* About Predictive AF

If the subject approaches or retreats from the camera at a constant rate, the camera tracks the subject and predicts the focusing distance immediately before the picture is taken. This is for obtaining correct focus at the moment of exposure.

¡ When the AF point selection is automatic, the camera first uses the center AF point to focus. During autofocusing, if the subject moves away from the center AF point, focus tracking continues as long as the subject is covered by another AF point.

¡ With a manually selected AF point, the selected AF point will focus track the subject.

AI Focus AF for Automatic Switching of AF Mode

AI Focus AF switches the AF mode from

One-Shot AF to AI Servo AF automatically if the still subject starts moving.

After the subject is focused in the One-

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

When focus is achieved in the AI Focus AF mode with the Servo mode active, the beeper will sound softly. The focus confirmation light < o> in the viewfinder will not light.

When Autofocus Fails (Manual Focusing)

Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (the focus confirmation light < o> blinks) with certain subjects such as the following:

Subjects Difficult to Focus

(a) Low-contrast subjects

Example: Blue sky, solid-color walls, etc.

(b) Subjects in low light

(c) Extremely backlit and reflective subjects

Example: Car with a reflective body, etc.

(d) Overlapping near and far objects

Example: Animal in a cage, etc.

(e) Repetitive patterns

Example: Skyscraper windows, computer keyboards, etc.

In such cases, do one of the following:

(1) Focus an object at the same distance as the subject and lock the focus before recomposing. (p.75)

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

q Evaluative Metering

This is the camera’s standard metering mode suited for most subjects even under backlit conditions. After detecting the main subject’s position, brightness, background, front and back lighting, etc., the camera sets the proper exposure.

¡ During manual focusing, evaluative metering is based on the center AF point.

¡ If the subject brightness and background light level are very different (there is a strong backlight or spotlight), use partial metering < w> instead.

w Partial Metering

Effective when the background is much brighter than the subject due to backlighting, etc. Partial metering covers about 9% of the viewfinder area at the center. The area covered by partial metering is shown on the left.

e Center-weighted Average Metering

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

About Program Shift

¡ In Program AE mode, you can freely change the shutter speed and aperture value combination (program) set by the camera while maintaining the same exposure value. This is called program shift.

¡ To do this, press the shutter button down halfway, then turn the < 6> dial until the desired shutter speed or aperture value is displayed.

¡ Program shift is canceled automatically after the image is captured.

¡ If you use flash, you cannot use program shift.

81

s Shutter-Priority AE

In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture value to suit the subject’s brightness. This is called shutter-priority AE. A fast shutter speed can freeze the motion of a fastmoving subject, and a slow shutter speed can blur the subject to give the impression of motion.

* < s> stands for Time value.

82

Fast shutter speed Slow shutter speed

¡ Press the shutter button halfway.

s The aperture value is set automatically.

4

Check the viewfinder display and shoot.

¡ As long as the aperture value is not blinking, the exposure will be correct.

s Shutter-Priority AE

¡ If the maximum aperture blinks, it indicates underexposure. Turn the < 6> dial to set a slower shutter speed until the aperture value stops blinking or set a higher ISO speed.

¡ If the minimum aperture blinks, it indicates overexposure. Turn the < 6> dial to set a faster shutter speed until the aperture value stops blinking or lower the ISO speed.

Shutter Speed Display

The shutter speeds from “4000” to “4” indicate the denominator of the fractional shutter speed. For example, “125” indicates 1/125 sec.Also, “0"6” indicates 0.6 sec. and “15"” is 15 sec.

83

f Aperture-Priority AE

In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the subject brightness. This is called aperture-priority AE.

A larger aperture opening (lower f/number) will result in a blurred background ideal for portraits. This occurs because a lower f/number decreases the depth of field (range of acceptable focus). On the other hand, a smaller aperture opening (higher f/number) will make more of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus. A smaller aperture opening increases the depth of field.

* < f> stands for Aperture value.

f Aperture-Priority AE

¡ If the “30"” shutter speed blinks, it indicates underexposure. Turn the < 6> dial to set a larger aperture (lower f/number) until the blinking stops or set a higher ISO speed.

¡ If the “4000” shutter speed blinks, it indicates overexposure. Turn the < 6> dial to set a smaller aperture (higher f/number) until the blinking stops or set a lower ISO speed.

Aperture Value Display

The higher the f/number, the smaller the aperture opening will be. The aperture values displayed will differ depending on the lens. If no lens is attached to the camera, “00” will be displayed for the aperture value.

Depth of Field Preview

N

Press the depth-of-field preview button to stop down to the current aperture setting.

Flash Photography

The built-in flash or an EOSdedicated, EX-series Speedlite enables E-TTL II autoflash

(evaluative flash metering with preflash), making flash photography as easy as normal shooting. The result is naturallooking flash photos. In the Basic

Zone modes (except < 3> <5>

< 7>), flash photography is fully automatic. In Creative Zone modes, flash can be used whenever necessary.

95

Using the Built-in Flash

E-TTL II autoflash obtains high-precision and consistent flash shots.

Using the Built-in Flash in the Basic Zone

If necessary, the built-in flash will pop-up automatically in low-light or backlit conditions. (except in the <

3> <5> <7> modes)

Using the Built-in Flash in the Creative Zone

Regardless of the light level, you can press the <

D> button to pop-up and fire the built-in flash whenever desired.

d : For fully automatic flash photography. The shutter speed (1/

60 sec. - 1/200 sec.) and aperture value are set automatically, just as in <

1> (Full Auto) mode.

s : Enables you to set the desired shutter speed (30 sec. - 1/

200 sec.). The camera then automatically sets the flash

aperture value to obtain the proper exposure at the shutter speed you have set.

f : Enables you to set the desired aperture value. The camera then automatically sets the shutter speed (30 sec. - 1/200

sec.) to obtain the proper exposure at the aperture you have set.

Against dark backgrounds such as the night scenes, slow-sync shooting will be set so that both the subject and background are exposed correctly. The main subject is exposed with the flash, and the background is exposured with a slow shutter speed.

¡ Because automatic slow-sync shooting uses a slow shutter speed, always use a tripod.

¡ If you do not want a slow shutter speed to be set, set C.Fn-3

[Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to [1: 1/200sec. (fixed)].

(p.148) a : You can set both the shutter speed (bulb or 30 sec. - 1/200

sec.) and aperture value. The main subject is exposed properly by the flash. The background exposure will vary depending on the shutter speed and aperture.

Using the Built-in Flash

Using Red-eye Reduction

When flash is used in a low-light environment, the subject’s eyes may look red in the image. “Red eye” happens when the light from the flash reflects off the retina of the eyes. The camera’s red-eye reduction feature turns on the red-eye reduction lamp to shine a gentle light into the subject’s eyes to narrow the pupil diameter or iris. A smaller pupil reduces the chances of red eye from occurring. Red-eye reduction can be set in any shooting mode except < 3> <5> <7>.

¡ The procedure is the same with EX-series Speedlites. The flash exposure compensation amount can be set with the camera.

Using EOS-Dedicated, External Speedlites

With EX-series Speedlites

An EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlite (optional) makes flash photography as easy as normal shooting. You can easily do the flash operations below. For detailed procedures, see the Speedlite’s instruction manual.

E-TTL II is a new autoflash exposure system incorporating improved flash exposure control and lens focusing distance information, making it more precise than the previous E-TTL (evaluative flash metering with preflash) system. The camera can execute E-TTL II autoflash with any EX-series Speedlite.

• High-Speed Sync (FP flash)

With high-speed sync, you can set a sync speed faster than 1/200 sec.

• FE (Flash Exposure) Lock

Press the camera’s < A> button to lock the flash exposure at the desired part of the subject.

• Flash Exposure Compensation

In the same way as normal exposure compensation, you can set exposure compensation for flash. The flash exposure compensation amount can be set with the camera up to ±2 stops in 1/3-stop increments. With Speedlites which you can set the flash exposure compensation, it can be set up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments.

• FEB (Flash Exposure Bracketing)

The flash output is changed automatically for three successive shots (only with

FEB-compatible Speedlites). Set flash exposure bracketing up to ±3 stops in 1/

3-stop increments.

• E-TTL II Wireless Autoflash with Multiple Speedlites

As with wired, multiple Speedlites, wireless E-TTL II autoflash with multiple Speedlites provides all the above features. Since connection cords are unnecessar y, flexible and sophisticated lighting setups are possible (only with wireless-compatible Speedlites).

About EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlites

The flash cannot be fired with an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite

set in the TTL or A-TTL autoflash mode. Use the Speedlite’s manual flash mode instead if provided.

101

Using EOS-Dedicated, External Speedlites

¡ Before attaching an external Speedlite, retract the built-in flash if it is popped up.

¡ If the EX-series Speedlite’s firing mode is set to TTL autoflash with the

Custom Function, the Speedlite will not fire.

¡ If autofocus cannot be achieved, the external, EOS-dedicated

Speedlite’s AF-assist beam (if the Speedlite has an AF-assist beam) will be emitted automatically (except in the < 3> <5> <7> modes).

¡ The camera is a Type-A camera that can use all the features of EXseries Speedlites.

Using Non-Canon Flash Units

The camera can synchronize with compact, non-Canon flash units at 1/

200 sec. or slower. Be sure to test the flash unit beforehand to make sure it synchronizes properly with the camera.

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

DPOF: Digital Print

Order Format

With DPOF (Digital Print Order Format), you can use the camera to specify which images in the CF card are to be printed and the quantity. This feature is very convenient when you make prints with a DPOFcompatible printer or photo lab.

About DPOF

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) is a standard for recording print ordering instructions to the CF card. It is for images taken with a digital camera, and you can specify which photos and the quantity to print. With a DPOF-compatible digital camera, you can do the following:

¡ By inserting a CF card into a printer compatible with DPOF, you can make prints as specified.

¡ Printers capable of direct printing from the camera can print the images as specified by DPOF.

¡ When ordering prints from a photo lab, you do not need to fill in any order form to specify the image selections, quantity, etc.
