Handling Precautions  
Camera Care  
  This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical  
shock.  
  The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you  
accidentally drop the camera into water, promptly consult your nearest  
Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the  
camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a well-wrung wet cloth.  
  Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field such  
as a magnet or electric motor. Also avoid using or leaving the camera near  
anything emitting strong radio waves such as a large antenna. Strong  
magnetic fields can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data.  
  Do not leave the camera in excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight.  
High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.  
  The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to  
disassemble the camera yourself.  
  Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirror, and  
focusing screen. Do not use cleaners that contan organic solvents to clean  
the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, takhe camera to the nearest  
Canon Service Center.  
  Do not touch the camera’s electrconcts with your fingers. This is to  
prevent the contacts from corrodrroded contacts can cause camera  
misoperation.  
  If the camera is suddenly rougt in from the cold into a warm room,  
condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent  
condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to  
the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.  
  If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid  
damaging the camera. If there is condensation, remove the lens, card and  
battery from the camera, and wait until the condensation has evaporated  
before using the camera.  
  If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery  
and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while the  
camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a while to  
check that the camera is still working.  
  Avoid storing the camera where there are corrosive chemicals such as a  
darkroom or chemical lab.  
  If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions  
before using it. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is  
an important shoot coming up, have the camera checked by your Canon  
dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.

Handling Precautions  
LCD Monitor  
  Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision  
technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there might be a few dead  
pixels among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying  
only black or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images  
recorded.  
  If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur  
where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only  
temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days.  
  In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow or it  
might look black. It will return to normal at room temperature.  
Cards  
To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:  
  Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force,  
physical shock, or vibration.  
  Do not store or use the card near anything having a strong magnetic field  
such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Asavoid places prone to having  
static electricity.  
  Do not leave the card in direct unligr near a heat source.  
  Store the card in a case.  
  Do not store the card in hot, dr humid locations.  
Lens  
After detaching the lens from the camera, attach the lens  
caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid  
scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.  
Contacts  
Cautions During Prolonged Use  
If you use continuous shooting, Live View shooting, or  
movie shooting for a prolonged period, the camera may  
become hot. Although this is not a malfunction, holding the  
hot camera for a long period can cause slight skin burns.  
About smear adhering to the front of the sensor  
Besides dust entering the camera from outside, in rare cases lubricant from the  
camera’s internal parts may adhere to the front of the sensor. In case visible  
spots still remain after the automatic sensor cleaning, having the sensor cleaned  
by a Canon Service Center is recommended.

Charging the Battery  
Tips for Using the Battery and Charger  
  Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be  
used.  
Even during storage, a charged battery will gradually discharge and  
lose its power.  
  After recharging the battery, detach it and unplug the charger  
from the power outlet.  
  When not using the camera, remove the battery.  
If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small  
amount of power current is released, resulting in excess discharge  
and shorter battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover  
attached. Storing the battery after it is fully charged can lower the  
battery’s performance.  
  The battery charger can also sed n foreign countries.  
The battery charger is comble with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/  
60 Hz power source. If ney, attach a commercially-available  
plug adapter for the espective country or region. Do not attach any  
portable voltage transformer to the battery charger. Doing so can  
damage the battery charger.  
  If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully  
charged, the battery has reached the end of its service life.  
Purchase a new battery.  
  Do not charge any battery other than the Battery Pack LP-E8.  
  The Battery Pack LP-E8 is dedicated to Canon products only. Using it  
with an incompatible battery charger or product may result in malfunction  
or accidents for which Canon cannot be held liable.

and approx. 270 shots with 50% flash use.  
  The number of possible shots will decrease with any of the following  
operations:  
• Pressing the shutter button halfway for a prolonged period.  
• Often activating only the AF without taking a picture.  
• Using the LCD monitor often.  
• Using the lens Image Stabilizer.  
  The lens operation is powered by the camera’s battery. Depending on  
the lens used, the number of possible shots may be lower.

About the Lens Image Stabilizer  
When you use the IS lens’ built-in Image Stabilizer, camera shake is  
corrected to obtain a less blurred shot. The procedure explained here is  
based on the EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens as an example.  
* IS stands for Image Stabilizer.  
Set the IS switch to <1>.

X The Image Stabilizer will operate.  
Take the picture.  
  When hpicture looks steady in the  
3
vnderpress the shutter button  
copletely to take the picture.  
  The Image Stabilizer may not be effective if the subject moves at the time  
of exposure.  
  The Image Stabilizer may not be effective for excessive shaking such as  
on a rocking boat.  
  The Image Stabilizer can operate with the focus mode switch set to  
either <f> or <g>.  
  If the camera is mounted on a tripod, you can save battery power by  
switching the IS switch to <2>.  
  The Image Stabilizer is effective even when the camera is mounted on a  
monopod.  
  Some IS lenses enable you to switch the IS mode manually to suit the  
shooting conditions. However, the EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS and EF-  
S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lenses switch the IS mode automatically.

  The card is new.  
  The card was formatted by a different camera or a computer.  
  The card is full with images or data.  
  A card-related error is displayed (p.224).  
About Low-level Formatting  
  Do low-level formatting if the card’s recording or reading speed seems  
slow.  
  Since low-level formatting will erase all recordable sectors in the card, the  
formatting will take slightly longer than normal formatting.  
  You can stop the low-level formatting by selecting [Cancel]. Even in this  
case, normal formatting will have been completed and you can use the  
card as usual.  
  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  
card, execute low-level formatting or destroy the card physically to  
prevent the data from being leaked.  
  Before using a new Eye-Fi card, the software in the card must be  
installed in your computer. Then format the card with the camera.  
  The card capacity displayed on the card format screen might be smaller  
than the capacity indicated on the card.

Aim the AF point over an area having good contrast, then press the  
shutter button halfway (p.202). If you are too close to the subject,  
move away and try again.  
  Sometimes multiple AF points flash simultaneously.  
This indicates that focus has been achieved at all those AF points. When  
the AF point covering the desired subject flashes, take the picture.  
  The beeper continues to beep softly. (The focus confirmation  
light <o> does not light.)  
It indicates that the camera is focusing continuously on a moving  
subject. (The focus confirmation light <o> does not light.) While the  
beeper is beeping, you can press the sutter button completely to  
shoot a moving subject in focus.  
  Pressing the shutter button hay does not focus the subject.

  Although it is dayliht, he flash popped up.  
For a backlit subject, the flash may pop up to help reduce the  
subject’s dark shadow.  
  In low light, the built-in flash fired a series of flashes.  
Pressing the shutter button halfway may trigger the built-in flash to  
fire a series of flashes to assist autofocusing. This is called AF-assist  
beam. It is effective up to approx. 4 meters/13.1 feet away.  
  Although flash was used, the picture came out dark.  
The subject was too far away. The subject should be within 5  
meters/16.4 feet from the camera.  
  When flash was used, the bottom part of the picture came out  
unnaturally dark.  
The subject was too close to the camera, and a shadow was created  
by the lens barrel. The subject should be at least 1 meter/3.3 feet  
away from the camera. If a hood has been attached to the lens,

1 Full Auto Techniques  
Recomposing the Shot  
Depending on the scene, position the subject toward the left or right to  
create a balanced background and good perspective.  
In the <1> (Full Auto) mode, while you press the shutter button  
halfway to focus a still subject, the focus will be locked. You can then  
recompose the shot and press the shutter butn completely to take the  
picture. This is called “focus lock”. Focck is also possible in other  
Basic Zone modes (except <5ort.  
Shooting a Moving Sbject  
In the <1> (Full Auto) mode, if the subject moves (distance to camera  
changes) during or after you focus, AI Servo AF will take effect to focus  
the subject continuously. As long as you keep aiming the AF point on  
the subject while pressing the shutter button halfway, the focusing will  
be continuous. When you want to take the picture, press the shutter  
button completely.

7 Disabling Flash  
In places where flash photography is prohibited, use the <7> (Flash  
Off) mode. This mode is also effective for candlelight scenes when you  
want to capture the ambient light.  
Shooting Tips  
  If the numeric dispay in the viewfinder blinks, take care to  
prevent camera shake.  
Under low light when camera shake is prone to occur, the  
viewfinder’s shutter speed display will blink. Hold the camera steady  
or use a tripod. When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to  
reduce blur caused by camera shake.  
  Taking portraits without flash.  
Under low light, the person must not move until the picture is taken.  
If the person moves during the exposure, he or she might look  
blurred in the picture.

2 Shooting Portraits  
The <2> (Portrait) mode blurs the background to make the human  
subject stand out. It also makes flesh tones and the hair look softer than  
with the <1> (Full Auto) mode.  
Shooting Tips  
  The farther the distane between the subject and background,  
the better.  
The further the distance between the subject and background, the  
more blurred the background will look. The subject will also stand  
out better in front of a plain, dark background.  
  Use a telephoto lens.  
If you have a zoom lens, use the telephoto end to fill the frame with  
the subject from the waist up. Move in closer if necessary.  
  Focus the face.  
Check that the AF point covering the face flashes in red.  
  If you hold down the shutter button, you can shoot continuously to obtain  
different poses and facial expressions. (max. approx. 3.7 shots/sec.)  
  If necessary, the built-in flash will pop up automatically.

3 Shooting Landscapes  
Use the <3> (Landscape) mode for wide scenery, night scenes, or to  
have everything in focus from near to far. The greens and blues also  
become more vivid and sharper than with <1> (Full Auto).  
Shooting Tips  
  With a zoom lens, se the wide-angle end.  
When using the wide-ange end of a zoom lens, objects near and far  
will be in focus better than at the telephoto end. It also adds breadth  
to landscapes.  
  Shooting night scenes.  
Since the built-in flash will be disabled, this  
mode <3> is also good for night scenes.  
Use a tripod to prevent camera shake. If  
you want to photograph a person against a  
night scene, set the Mode Dial to <6>  
(Night Portrait) and use a tripod (p.54).

4 Shooting Close-ups  
When you want to photograph flowers or small things up close, use the  
<4> (Close-up) mode. To make small things appear much larger, use a  
macro lens (sold separately).  
Shooting Tips  
  Use a simple background.  
A simple background makes the flower, etc., stand out better.  
  Move to the subject as close as possible.  
Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. Some lenses  
have indications such as <40.25m/0.8ft>. The lens minimum  
focusing distance is measured from the <V> (focal plane) mark on  
the camera to the subject. If you are too close to the subject, the  
focus confirmation light <o> will blink.  
Under low light, the built-in flash will fire. If you are too close to the  
subject and the bottom of the picture looks dark, move away from  
the subject.  
  With a zoom lens, use the telephoto end.  
If you have a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the  
subject look larger.

5 Shooting Moving Subjects  
To photograph a moving subject, whether it is a child running or a  
moving vehicle, use the <5> (Sports) mode.  
Shooting Tips  
  Use a telephoto lens.  
Using a telephoto lens is recommended so you can shoot from afar.  
  Use the center AF point to focus.  
Aim the center AF point over the subject, then press the shutter  
button halfway to auto focus. During autofocusing, the beeper will  
continue beeping softly. If focus cannot be achieved, the focus  
confirmation light <o> will blink.  
When you want to take the picture, press the shutter button  
completely. If you hold down the shutter button, continuous shooting  
(max. approx. 3.7 shots per sec.) and autofocusing will take effect.

6 Shooting Portraits at Night  
To shoot someone at night and obtain a natural-looking exposure in the  
background, use the <6> (Night Portrait) mode.  
Shooting Tips  
  Use a wide-angle lens and d.  
When using a zoom lens, use thwide-angle end to obtain a wide  
night view. Also, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.  
  Keep the person within 5 meters/16.4 feet from the camera.  
Under low light, the built-in flash will fire automatically to obtain a  
good exposure of the person. The effective distance of the built-in  
flash is 5 meters/16.4 feet from the camera.  
  Shoot also with <1> (Full Auto).  
Since camera shake is prone to occur with night shots, shooting also  
with <1> (Full Auto) is recommended.  
  Tell the subject to keep still even after the flash fires.  
  If the self-timer is also used, the self-timer lamp will light briefly when the  
picture is taken.

D Using the Built-in Flash  
Shooting Tips  
  If the subject is far away, increase the ISO speed.  
By increasing the ISO speed, you can extend the flash range.  
  In bright light, decrease the ISO speed.  
If the exposure setting in the viewfinder blinks, decrease the ISO speed.  
  Detach the lens hood and keep at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away  
from the subject.  
If the lens has a hood attached or you are too close to the subject,  
the bottom of the picture might look dark due to the obstructed flash.  
For important shots, check the image on the LCD monitor to make  
sure the flash exposure looks good (not dark at the bottom).  
3 Using Red-eye Reduction  
Using the red-eye reduction lamp be taing a flash picture can  
reduce red eye.

press the shutter button halfway, the  
red-eye reduction lamp will light. Then  
when you press the shutter button  
completely, the picture will be taken.  
  The red-eye reduction feature is most effective when the subject looks at  
the red-eye reduction lamp, when the room is well lit, or when you go  
closer to the subject.  
  When you press the shutter button halfway, the  
viewfinder display on the bottom will gradually turn  
off. For best results, take the picture after this display  
turns off.

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. However, the focus confirmation light  
<o> in the viewfinder will not light.

Shooting Tips  
  When shooting a portrait up close, use One-Shot AF and focus  
the eyes.  
If you focus the eyes first, you can then recompose and the face will  
remain sharp.  
  If it is difficult to focus, select and use the center AF point.  
The center AF point is the most sensitive among the nine AF points.  
Also, with a fast lens from f/1.0 to f/2.8, high-precision focusing is  
possible with the center AF point.  
  To make it easier to focus a moving subject, set the camera to  
automatic AF point selection and AI Servo AF.  
First use the center AF point to focus. If the subject moves away  
from the center AF point, the other AF oints will continue to focus-  
track the subject automatically.

Shooting Tips  
  Also set the AF mode matching the subject.  
• For moving subject  
When AI Servo AF is set, focusing will be continuous during  
continuous shooting.  
• For still subjects  
When One-Shot AF is set, the camera will focus only once during  
continuous shooting.  
  Flash can also be used.  
Since the flash will require recycling time, the continuous shooting  
speed will be slower.  
  If the [7 Custom Functions (C.Fn)] menu’s [High ISO speed noise  
reduction] (p.193) is set to [2: Strong], the maximum continuous  
shooting burst will greatly decrease.  
  In AI Servo AF mode, the continuous shooting speed may become  
slightly slower depending on the subject and the lens used.  
 
The continuous shooting speed might also decrease indoors and under low light.

image quality. If 8 is selece image quality will be slightly lower,  
but more images cabe sao the card.  
  I took more shots than he number of possible shots indicated.  
Depending on the shooting conditions, you may be able to take  
more shots than was indicated. Or, it might be fewer than indicated.  
The number of possible shots displayed is only an estimate.  
  Does the camera display the maximum burst?  
The maximum burst is displayed in the viewfinder’s right side. Since  
it is only a single-digit indicator 0 - 9, any number higher than 9 will  
be displayed only as “9.” Note that this number will also be displayed  
even when no card is installed in the camera. Be careful not to shoot  
without a card in the camera.  
  When should I use 1?  
1 images require processing with your computer. For details, see  
“About 1” and “About 1+73” on the next page.

Shooting Tips  
  To freeze the action or moving subject.  
Use a fast shutter speed such as 1/4000 sec. to 1/500 sec.  
  To blur a running child or animal giving the impression of fast  
movement.  
Use a medium shutter speed such as 1/250 sec. to 1/30 sec. Follow  
the moving subject through the viewfinder and press the shutter  
button to take the picture. If you use a telephoto lens, hold it steady  
to prevent camera shake.  
  How to blur a flowing river or water fountain.  
Use a slow shutter speed of 1/15 sec. or slower. Use a tripod to  
prevent camera shake.  
  Set the shutter speed so that the apture display does not  
blink in the viewfinder.  
If you press the shutter buhalway and change  
the shutter speed while the ture is displayed,  
the aperture display will also change to maintain the  
same exposure (amount of light reaching the image  
sensor). If you exceed the adjustable aperture  
range, the aperture display will blink to indicate that  
the standard exposure cannot be obtained.  
If the exposure will be too dark, the maximum aperture (smallest  
number) will blink. If this happens, turn the <6> dial to the left to  
set a slower shutter speed or increase the ISO speed.  
If the exposure will be too bright, the minimum aperture (highest  
number) will blink. If this happens, turn the <6> dial to the right to  
set a faster shutter speed or decrease the ISO speed.  
Using the Built-in Flash  
To obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be set  
automatically (autoflash exposure) to match the automatically-set  
aperture. The flash sync speed can be set from 1/200 sec. to 30 sec.

f: Changing the Depth of Field  
Shooting Tips  
  When using an aperture with a high f-number, note that camera  
shake can occur in low light scenes.  
A higher aperture f-number will make the shutter speed slower.  
Under low light, the shutter speed can be as long as 30 sec. In such  
cases, increase the ISO speed and hold the camera steady or use a  
tripod.  
  The depth of field depends not only on the aperture, but also  
the lens and subject distance.  
Since wide-angle lenses have a wide depth of field (range of  
acceptable focus in front of and behind the point of focus), you need  
not set a high aperture f-number to obtain a sharp picture from the  
foreground to the background. On the oher hand, a telephoto lens  
has a narrow depth of field.  
And the closer the subject, the wer he depth of field. A farther  
subject will have a wider dof eld.  
  Set the aperture so that thutter speed display does not  
blink in the viewfiner.  
If you press the shutter button halfway and change  
the aperture while the shutter speed is displayed,  
the shutter speed display will also change to  
maintain the same exposure (amount of light  
reaching the image sensor). If you exceed the  
adjustable shutter speed range, the shutter speed  
display will blink to indicate that the standard  
exposure cannot be obtained.  
If the picture will be too dark, the “30"” (30 sec.) shutter speed  
display will blink. If this happens, turn the <6> dial to the left to set  
a lower aperture f-number or increase the ISO speed.  
If the picture will be too bright, the “4000” (1/4000 sec.) shutter  
speed display will blink. If this happens, turn the <6> dial to the  
right to set a higher aperture f-number or decrease the ISO speed.

f: Changing the Depth of Field  
Using the Built-in Flash  
To obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be set  
automatically to match the set aperture (autoflash exposure). The  
shutter speed will be set automatically between 1/200 sec. - 30 sec. to  
suit the scene’s brightness.  
In low light, the main subject is exposed with the automatic flash, and  
the background is exposed with a slow shutter speed set automatically.  
Both the subject and background look properly exposed (automatic  
slow-speed flash sync). If you are handholding the camera, keep it  
steady to prevent camera shake. Using a tripod is recommended.  
If you do not want a slow shutter speed to be used, set the [7 Custom  
Functions (C.Fn)] menu’s [Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to [1: 1/

  You can reduce this noise by setting the [7 Custom Functions (C.Fn)]  
menu’s [Long exp. noise reduction] to [1: Auto] or [2: On] (p.193).  
  For bulb exposures, using a tripod and Remote Switch (p.204, 205) is  
recommended.  
  You can also use a remote controller (sold separately, p.204) for bulb  
exposures. When you press the remote controller’s transmit button, the

  Under the [2] tab, select [Color  
space], then press <0>.  
Set the desired color space.  
2
  Select [sRGB] or [Adobe RGB], then  
press <0>.  
About Adobe RGB  
This color space is mainly used mmercial printing and other  
industrial uses. This settinis not mmended if you do not know  
about image processing, Aobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File  
System 2.0 (Exif 2.21).  
The image will look very subdued in a sRGB personal computer  
environment and with printers not compatible with Design rule for  
Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21). Post-processing of the image with  
software will therefore be required.  
  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. See explanations about the ICC profile  
in the Software Instruction Manual in the CD-ROM.

2 White Balance CorrectionN  
White Balance Auto Bracketing  
With just one shot, three images having a different color balance can be  
recorded simultaneously. Based on the color temperature of the current white  
balance setting, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bias or  
magenta/green bias. This is called white balance bracketing (WB-BKT). White  
balance bracketing is possible up to ±3 levels in single-level increments.  
Set the white balance bracketing  
amount.  
 
In step 2 for white balance correction, when  
you turn the <6> dial, the “ ” mark on  
the screen will change to “  
” (3 points).  
Turning the dial to the right sets the B/  
A bracketinand turning it to the left  
sets tM/G bracketing.

Pressing the <B> button will cancel  
all the [WB Shift/BKT] settings.  
  Press <0> to exit the setting and  
return to the menu.  
Bracketing Sequence  
The images will be bracketed in the following sequence: 1. Standard  
white balance, 2. Blue (B) bias, and 3. Amber (A) bias, or 1. Standard  
white balance, 2. Magenta (M) bias, and 3. Green (G) bias.  
During WB bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will be  
lower and the number of possible shots will also decrease to one-third the  
normal number.  
  Since three images are recorded for one shot, the card will take longer to  
record the shot.  
  “BKT” stands for Bracketing.

3 Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction  
About the Lens Correction Data  
The camera already contains lens peripheral illumination correction  
data for approx. 25 lenses. In step 2, if you select [Enable], the  
peripheral light correction will be applied automatically for any lens  
whose correction data has been registered in the camera.  
With EOS Utility (provided software), you can check which lenses have  
their correction data registered in the camera. You can also register the  
correction data for unregistered lenses. For details, see the Software  
Instruction Manual (CD-ROM) for EOS Utility.  
  For JPEG images aeadcaptured, lens peripheral illumination  
correction cannot be applied.  
  Depending on shooting conditions, noise might appear on the image  
periphery.  
  When using a non-Canon lens, setting the correction to [Disable] is  
recommended, even if [Correction data available] is displayed.  
  Lens peripheral light correction is applied even when an Extender is  
attached.  
  If the correction data for the attached lens has not been registered to the  
camera, the result will be the same as when the correction is set to  
[Disable].  
  The correction amount applied will be slightly lower than the maximum  
correction amount settable with Digital Photo Professional (provided  
software).  
  If the lens does not have distance information, the correction amount will  
be lower.  
  The higher the ISO speed, the lower the correction amount will be.

Preventing Camera ShakeN  
The camera’s mechanical shake caused by the reflex mirror action can  
blur images taken with a super telephoto lens or close-up (macro) lens.  
In such cases, mirror lockup is effective.  
Mirror lockup is enabled by selecting the [7 Custom Functions  
(C.Fn)] menu’s [Mirror lockup] and setting it to [1: Enable] (p.195).  
1 Focus the subject, press the shutter button completely.  
X The mirror will swing up.  
2 Press the shutter button completely again.  
X The picture is taken and the mirror goes back down.  
Shooting Tips  
  Using the self-timer <l> with mirrolockup.  
When you press the shutter button pletly, the mirror locks up,  
then the picture is taken 2 secater.  
  Remote control shooting.  
Since you do not touch he camera when the picture is taken, remote  
control shooting together witmirror lockup can further prevent  
camera shake. With Remote Controller RC-6 set to a 2-sec. delay,  
press the transmit button, the mirror will lockup and the picture will  
be taken 2 sec. later.  
  Do not point the camera toward the sun. The sun’s heat can damage the  
camera’s internal components.  
 
If you use the self-timer and mirror lockup in combination with a bulb exposure,  
keep pressing the shutter button completely (self-timer delay time + bulb  
exposure time). If you let go of the shutter button during the self-timer  
countdown, there will be a shutter-release sound, but no picture will be taken.  
  Even if <i> (Continuous shooting) has been set, single shooting will  
take effect.  
  If 30 seconds elapse after the mirror has locked up, it will go back down  
automatically. Pressing the shutter button completely again locks up the  
mirror again.

Notes About the Live View Image  
  Under low or bright light conditions, the Live View image might not reflect  
the brightness of the captured image.  
  If the light source within the image changes, the screen might flicker. If  
this happens, stop and resume the Live View shooting under the actual  
light source to be used.  
  If you point the camera in a different direction, it might throw off the Live  
View image’s correct brightness momentarily. Wait until the brightness  
level stabilizes before shooting.  
  If there is a very bright light source in the picture, such as the sun, the  
bright area might appear black on the LCD monitor. However, the actual  
captured image will correctly show the bright area.  
  In low light, if you set the [6 LCD brightness] to a bright setting,  
chrominance noise may appear in the Live View image. However, the  
chrominance noise will not be recorded in the captured image.  
  When you magnify the image, the imae harpness may look more  
pronounced than it really is.  
About the <E> icon  
  If the camera’s internal tere becomes high, the <E> icon may  
appear on the scren. If you n continue with Live View shooting, the  
image quality might egrde. You should stop Live View shooting and  
allow the camera to rest.  
  If Live View shooting continues while the <E> warning icon is displayed  
and the camera’s internal temperature increases, the Live View shooting  
will stop automatically. Live View shooting will be disabled until the  
camera’s internal temperature decreases.

Notes About the Shooting Results  
  When you shoot continuously with the Live View function for a long  
period, the camera’s internal temperature may increase and it can  
degrade image quality. Terminate Live View shooting when not shooting  
images.  
  Before taking a long exposure, stop Live View shooting temporarily and  
wait several minutes before shooting. This is to prevent image  
degradation.  
  Live View shooting in high temperatures and at high ISO speeds may  
cause noise or irregular colors.  
  When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (banding, dots of light, etc.)  
may appear.  
  If you take the picture during magnified view, the exposure might not  
come out as desired. Return to the normal view before taking the picture.  
During the magnified view, the shutter speed and aperture will be  
displayed in red. Even if you take the picture uring magnified view, the  
image will be captured in the normal .  
  If the [2 Auto Lighting Optimizer] 03) menu is set to anything  
other than [Disable], the imalok bright even if a decreased  
exposure compensatioor flasosure compensation has been set.  
Custom Function Nots  
  During Live View shooting, certain Custom Function settings will be  
disabled (p.191).  
Notes About Lenses and Flash  
  The focus preset feature on super telephoto lenses cannot be used.  
  FE lock is not possible when the built-in flash or an external Speedlite is  
used. Modeling flash and test flash will not fire if an external Speedlite is

  The procedure is the same as steps 2  
and 3 for “Autoexposure Shooting”  
(p.124).  
  With manual exposure shootilocand exposure compensation  
cannot be set.  
  Changing the aperture during movie shooting is not recommended since  
variations in the exposure, due to the drive of the lens aperture, will be  
recorded.  
  If you use a lens whose aperture changes while you zoom, you should  
not zoom while shooting a movie. Zooming while shooting a movie may  
record changes in the exposure.  
  If you shoot a movie under fluorescent lighting, the movie image might  
flicker.  
  With Auto ISO, the correct movie exposure will usually be obtained even  
if the light level changes.  
  When shooting a movie of a moving subject, a shutter speed of 1/30 sec.  
to 1/125 sec. is recommended. The faster the shutter speed, the less  
smooth the subject’s movement will look.  
  If you playback the movie with “Shooting information display” (p.173), the  
shooting mode, shutter speed, and aperture will not be displayed. The  
image information (Exif) will record the settings used at the start of the  
movie shooting.

  The Movie crop image cannot be magnified for focusing.  
  Even if the AF mode has been set to [Quick mode], it will switch  
automatically to [Live mode] during movie shooting. Also, in [Live  
mode], the AF point is displayed larger than with other recording sizes.  
  Noise and dots of light may be more noticeable than in other recording  
sizes.  
  Focusing may be difficult if the AF point covers both a near and far  
subject.  
  Still photos cannot be taken.

Notes on Movie Shooting  
Recording and Image Quality  
  If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer, the Image Stabilizer will  
operate at all times even if you do not press the shutter button halfway.  
The Image Stabilizer will thereby consume battery power and may  
shorten the total movie shooting time odcrease the number of possible  
shots. If you use a tripod or if the ge Sbilizer is not necessary, you  
should set the IS switch to <2
  The camera’s built-in micre wll also pick up camera operation  
noise. If you use a ommeavailable external microphone, you can  
prevent (or reduce) hese noises from being recorded.  
  Do not connect anythng ther than an external microphone to the  
camera’s external microphone IN terminal.  
  If movie shooting is not possible due to insufficient remaining capacity of  
the card, the movie recording size and movie shooting remaining time  
(p.126) will be displayed in red.  
  If you use a card having a slow writing speed, a five-level  
indicator might appear on the right of the screen during  
movie shooting. It indicates how much data has not yet been  
written to the card (remaining capacity of the internal buffer  
memory). The slower the card, the faster the indicator will  
climb upward. If the indicator becomes full, movie shooting  
Indicator  
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 you take still photos during movie shooting, the movie shooting might  
stop. Setting the still images’ recording quality low might improve this  
problem.

Notes on Movie Shooting  
Camera’s internal temperature increase and image degradation  
  If the camera’s internal temperature becomes high, the <E> icon may  
appear on the screen. When not shooting, turn off the camera.  
  If you take still photos while the <E> icon is displayed on the screen, the  
image quality may be degraded. The image quality of movies is not  
affected.  
  If the <E> icon is displayed and you keep shooting movies until the  
camera’s internal temperature rises further, the movie shooting will stop  
automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the  
camera’s internal temperature decreases. Turn off the power and let the  
camera rest for a while.  
Playback and TV connection  
  If the brightness changes during movie shooting, that part might look  
momentarily still when you playback the mov.  
  If you connect the camera to a TV seth an HDMI cable (p.167) and  
shoot a movie in [1920x1080] or [1220], the movie being shot will  
be displayed at a small size oV. owever, the actual movie will be  
properly recorded at the movie ding size that was set.  
  If you connect the camra to a TV set (p.167, 169) and shoot a movie,  
the TV will not output any sond during the shooting. However, the  
sound will be properly recorded.

3 File Numbering Methods  
The file number is like the frame number on a roll of film. The captured  
images are assigned a sequential file number from 0001 to 9999 and  
saved in one folder. You can change how the file number is assigned.  
The file number will appear on a computer in this format:  
IMG_0001.JPG.  
Under the [5] tab, select [File  
numbering], then press <0>. The  
available settings are described below.  
Select one, then press <0>.  
  [Continuous]: The file numbering contiues in sequence even  
after the card is replaced.  
Even after you replace the card, the numbering continues in  
sequence up to 9999. This is nint when you want to save the  
images numbered anyhere ben 0001 to 9999 from multiple  
cards into one folder in our omputer.  
If the replacement card contains images recorded previously, the file  
numbering of the new images might continue from the file numbering  
of the existing images in the card. If you want to use continuous file  
numbering, you should use a newly-formatted card each time.

Handy Features  
  [Auto reset]: Resets the file numbering to 0001 whenever the  
card is replaced.  
Each time you replace the card, the file numbering restarts from  
0001. This is convenient if you want to organize images according to  
cards.  
If the replacement card contains images recorded previously, the file  
numbering of the new images might continue from the file numbering  
of the existing images in the card. To restart the file numbering from  
0001, you should use a newly-formatted card.

mbering is reset  
  [Manual reset]: To resethe file numbering to 0001 manually or  
to start from file number 0001 in a new folder.  
When you reset the file numbering manually, a new folder is created  
automatically and the file numbering of images saved to that folder  
starts from 0001.  
This is convenient if you want to use different folders for the images  
taken yesterday and the ones taken today, for example. After the  
manual reset, the file numbering returns to continuous or auto reset.  
If the file number in folder No. 999 reaches 9999, shooting will not be  
possible even if the card still has storage capacity. The LCD monitor will  
display a message telling you to replace the card. Replace it with a new card.  
For both JPEG and RAW images, the file name will start with “IMG_”. Movie  
file names will start with “MVI_”. The extension will be “.JPG” for JPEG  
images, “.CR2” for RAW images, and “. MOV” for movies.

  At a distance of 20 cm - 30 cm (0.7 ft.  
- 1.0 ft.), fill the viewfinder with a  
patternless, solid-white object and  
take a picture.  
X The picture will be taken in the  
aperture-priority AE mode with an  
aperture of f/22.  
  Since the image will not be saved, the

data was not obtained  
successfully, a message to that effect  
will appear. Follow the “Preparation”  
procedure on the preceding page, then  
select [OK]. Take the picture again.  
About the Dust Delete Data  
After the Dust Delete Data is obtained, it is appended to all the JPEG  
and RAW images captured thereafter. Before an important shoot, you  
should update the Dust Delete Data by obtaining it again.  
To erase dust spots automatically with the provided software, see the  
Software Instruction Manual in the CD-ROM.  
The Dust Delete Data appended to the image is so small that it hardly  
affects the image file size.  
Be sure to use a solid-white object such as a new sheet of white paper. If the  
paper has any pattern or design, it may be recognized as dust data and  
affect the accuracy of the dust deletion with the software.

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

3 Manual Sensor CleaningN  
  While cleaning the sensor, never do any of the following. If the  
power is cut off, the shutter will close and the shutter curtains and  
image sensor might get damaged.  
• Setting the power switch to <2>.  
• Opening the battery compartment cover.  
• Opening the card slot cover.  
  The surface of the image sensor is extremely delicate. Clean the sensor  
with care.  
  Use a plain blower without any brush attached. A brush can scratch the  
sensor.  
  Do not insert the blower tip inside the camera beyond the lens mount. If  
the power is turned off, the shutter will close and the shutter curtains or  
reflex mirror might get damaged.  
  Never use canned air or gas to clean the sensor. The blowing force can  
damage the sensor or the spray gas can freeze on the sensor.  
  If smear that cannot be removed with a blowremains, having the  
sensor cleaned by a Canon Service ter is ecommended.

[RGB] Display  
This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of each primary  
color’s brightness level in the image (RGB or red, green, and blue).  
The horizontal axis indicates the color’s brightness level (darker on  
the left and brighter on the right), while the vertical axis indicates  
how many pixels exist for each color brightness level. The more  
pixels there are toward the left, the darker and less prominent the  
color. And the more pixels there are toward the right, the brighter  
and denser the color. If there are too many pixels on the left, the  
respective color information will be lacking. And if there are too  
many pixels on the right, the color will be too saturated with no  
detail. By checking the image’s RGB histogram, you can see the  
color’s saturation and gradation condition and white balance  
inclination.

C.Fn I: Exposure  
C.Fn-1  
Exposure level increments  
0: 1/3-stop  
1: 1/2-stop  
Sets 1/2-stop increments for the shutter speed, aperture, exposure  
compensation, AEB, flash exposure compensation, etc. Effective when  
you prefer to control the exposure in less fine increments than 1/3-stop  
increments.  
The exposure level will be displayed in the viewfnder and on the LCD  
monitor as shown below.  
C.Fn-2  
0: Off  
1: On  
For the ISO speed, “H” (equivalent to ISO 12800) will be selectable.  
C.Fn-3 Flash sync. speed in Av (Aperture-priority AE) mode  
0: Auto  
ISO expansion  
The flash sync speed is set automatically within a range of 1/200 sec. to  
30 sec. to suit the scene’s brightness.  
1: 1/200-1/60 sec. auto  
When flash is used with aperture-priority AE (f), this prevents a slow  
flash-sync speed from being set automatically in low-light conditions. It  
is effective for preventing subject blur and camera shake. However,  
while the subject will be properly exposed with the flash, the background  
will come out dark.  
2: 1/200 sec. (fixed)  
The flash-sync speed is fixed to 1/200 sec. This more effectively  
prevents subject blur and camera shake than with setting 1. However,  
the background may come out darker than with setting 1.

Long exposure noise reduction  
For 1 sec. or longer exposures, noise reduction is performed  
automatically if noise typical of long exposures is detected. This [Auto]  
setting is effective in most cases.  
2: On  
Noise reduction is performed for all exposures of 1 sec. or longer. The  
[On] setting may be effective for noise thacannot be detected or  
reduced with the [Auto] setting.  
  With setting 1 and 2, after the picis taken, the noise reduction  
process may take the samunof time as the exposure. You cannot  
take another picture until te reduction process is completed.  
  At ISO 1600 and hiher, noise might be more pronounced with setting 2  
than with setting 0 or 1.  
 
With setting 2, if a long exposure is shot during Live View display, “BUSY” will be  
displayed during the noise reduction process. The Live View display will not  
appear until the noise reduction is completed. (You cannot take another picture.)  
C.Fn-5  
High ISO speed noise reduction  
Reduces the noise generated in the image. Although noise reduction is  
applied at all ISO speeds, it is particularly effective at high ISO speeds. At  
low ISO speeds, the noise in the shadow areas is further reduced. Change  
the setting to suit the noise level.  
0: Standard  
1: Low  
2: Strong  
3: Disable  
With setting 2, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will greatly  
decrease.

Highlight tone priority  
0: Disable  
1: Enable  
Improves the highlight detail. The dynamic range is expanded from the  
standard 18% gray to bright highlights. The gradation between the grays  
and highlights becomes smoother.  
  With setting 1, the [Disable] setting automatically takes effect for the  
Auto Lighting Optimizer (p.103) and it cannot be changed.  
  With setting 1, noise may become slightly more pronounced than usual.

Also, the <A> icon will be displayed on the LCD monitor and in the  
viewfinder when highlight tone priority is enabled.  
C.Fn III: Autofocus/Drive  
C.Fn-7  
AF-assist beang  
The AF-assist beam can be emitted bthe camera’s built-in flash or by an  
external, EOS-dedicated Speedli.  
0: Enable  
1: Disable  
The AF-assist beam is not emitted.  
2: Enable external flash only  
If an external, EOS-dedicated Speedlite is attached, it will emit the AF-  
assist beam when necessary. The camera’s built-in flash will not fire the  
AF-assist beam.  
3: IR AF assist beam only  
Among EOS-dedicated Speedlites, only those which have an infrared  
AF-assist beam will be able to emit the beam. This prevents any  
Speedlite which uses a series of small flashes (like the built-in flash)  
from firing the AF-assist beam.  
If the external, EOS-dedicated Speedlite’s [AF-assist beam firing] Custom  
Function is set to [Disabled], the Speedlite will not emit the AF-assist beam  
even if the camera’s C.Fn-7-0/2/3 is set.

When Autofocus Fails  
Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (the focus confirmation light <o>  
blinks) with certain subjects such as the following:  
Subjects difficult to focus  
  Very low-contrast subjects  
(Example: Blue sky, solid-color walls, etc.)  
  Subjects in very low light  
  Extremely backlit or reflective subjects  
(Example: Car with a highly reflective body, etc.)  
  Near and far subjects covered by an AF point  
(Example: Animal in a cage, etc.)  
  Repetitive patterns  
(Example: Skyscraper windows, computer keyboards, etc.)  
In such cases, do one of the following:  
(1) With One-Shot AF, focus an object at the same distance as the  
subject and lock the focus before rmposng (p.48).  
(2) Set the lens focus mode switco <F> and focus manually.  
  If an Extender (sold separately) is attached and the maximum aperture of  
the lens is f/5.6 or smaller (larger f/number), AF will not be possible  
(except Live mode/u Live mode AF). For details, see the Extender’s  
instruction manual.  
  For situations where AF can fail to achieve focus with Live mode/u Live  
mode AF, see page 117.

External Speedlites  
EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlites  
Basically operates like a built-in flash for easy operation.  
When an EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) is attached to the  
camera, almost all the autoflash control is done by the camera. In other  
words, it is like a high-output flash attached externally in place of the  
built-in flash.  
For detailed instructions, see the EX-series Speedlite’s instruction  
manual. This camera is a Type-A camera that can use all the features  
of EX-series Speedlites.  
Shoe-mount Speedlites  
Macro Lites  
  With an EX-series Speedlite not compatible with flash function settings  
(p.147), only [Flash exp. comp] and [E-TTL II meter.] can be set for  
[External flash func. setting]. (Certain EX-series Speedlites also  
enable [Shutter sync.] to be set.)  
  If flash exposure compensation is set with the external Speedlite, the  
flash exposure compensation icon displayed on the camera’s LCD  
monitor will change from y to  
.
  If the flash metering mode is set to TTL autoflash with the Speedlite’s  
Custom Function, the flash will fire at full output only.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
206  
External Speedlites  
Canon Speedlites other than the EX-series  
  With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set in TTL or A-TTL  
autoflash mode, the flash can be fired at full output only.  
Set the camera’s shooting mode to <a> (manual exposure) or  
<f> (aperture-priority AE) and adjust the aperture setting before  
shooting.  
  When using a Speedlite which has manual flash mode, shoot in the  
manual flash mode.  
Using Non-Canon Flash Units  
Sync Speed  
The camera can synchronize with compact, non-Canon flash units at  
1/200 sec. or slower. Be sure to test the flah unit beforehand to make  
sure it synchronizes properly with tamea.  
Cautions for Live View shg  
A non-Canon flash will ot fire during Live View shooting.  
  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 fire.

Using Eye-Fi Cards  
With a commercially-available Eye-Fi card already set up, you can  
automatically transfer captured images to a personal computer or  
upload them to an online service via a wireless LAN.  
The image transfer is a function of the Eye-Fi card. To set up, use the  
card and to troubleshoot any image transfer problems, refer to the Eye-  
Fi card’s instruction manual or inquire the card’s manufacturer.  
This product is not guaranteed to support Eye-Fi card  
functions (including wireless transfer). In case of an issue  
with an Eye-Fi card, please check with the card manufacturer.  
Also note that an 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 the area, please check with the card  
manufacturer.

H (Blinking) Connecting necting with access point.  
H (Displayed) Connected : Connection to access point established.  
H ( ꢂ ) Transferring  
: Image transmission to access point in  
progress.  
Cautions for Using Eye-Fi Cards  
  If “J” is displayed, an error occurred while retrieving the card  
information. Turn the camera 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.  
  If the image transfer does not work, check the Eye-Fi card and personal  
computer settings. For details, see the card’s instruction manual.  
  Depending on the wireless LAN’s connection conditions, the image  
transfer may take longer or might be interrupted.  
  Because of the transmission function, the Eye-Fi card may become hot.  
  The battery power will be consumed faster.  
  During the image transfer, auto power off will not take effect.

Troubleshooting Guide  
If a problem occurs, first refer to this Troubleshooting Guide. If this  
Troubleshooting Guide does not resolve the problem, contact your  
dealer or nearest Canon Service Center.  
Power-Related Problems  
The battery cannot be recharged with the battery charger provided.  
  Do not recharge any battery pack other than a genuine Canon Battery  
Pack LP-E8.  
The camera does not operate even when the power switch is  
set to <1>.  
  The battery is not properly installed in the camera (p.26).  
  Recharge the battery (p.24).  
  Make sure the battery compartmenver iclosed (p.26).

The battery charger’s lamp blinks.  
  If there is a problem with the battery charger, the protective circuit will  
stop the charging operation and the charge lamp will blink in orange. If  
this happens, disconnect the charger’s power plug from the power  
outlet and remove the battery pack. Attach the battery pack to the  
charger again and wait a while before connecting the charger to a  
power outlet again.  
The access lamp still blinks even when the power switch is  
set to <2>.  
  If the power is cut off while an image is being recorded to the card, the  
access lamp will still continue to light/blink for a few seconds. When  
the image recording is completed, the power will turn off automatically.

Troubleshooting Guide  
The battery becomes exhausted quickly.  
  Use a fully-charged battery pack (p.24).  
  The rechargeable battery pack performance will degrade over  
repeated use. Purchase a new one.  
  If you use Live View shooting or shoot movies for a prolonged period  
(p.107, 123), the number of possible shots will decrease.  
The camera turns off by itself.  
  Auto power off is in effect. If you do not want auto power off to take  
effect, set [5 Auto power off] to [Off].  
  Even if [5 Auto power off] has been set to [Off], the LCD monitor will  
still turn off after the camera is idle for 30 min. Press the <B>  
button to turn on the LCD monitor.  
Shooting-Related Problems  
No images can be shot nor ecorded.  
  The card is not properly inserted (p.31).  
  If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to  
make room (p.31, 171).  
  If you try to focus in One-Shot AF mode while the focus confirmation  
light <o> in the viewfinder blinks, a picture cannot be taken. Press the  
shutter button halfway again to focus, or focus manually (p.37, 69).  
  Slide the card’s write-protect switch to the Write/Erase setting (p.31).  
The image is out of focus.  
  Set the lens focus mode switch to <AF> (p.33).  
  To prevent camera shake, press the shutter button gently (p.36, 37).  
  If the lens has an Image Stabilizer, set the IS switch to <1>.

Troubleshooting Guide  
The card cannot be used.  
  If a card error message is displayed, see page 42 or 224.  
The maximum burst during continuous shooting is lower.  
  Set the [7 Custom Functions (C.Fn)] menu’s [High ISO speed  
noise reduction] to [Standard], [Low], or [Disable]. If it is set to  
[Strong], the maximum burst during continuous shooting will greatly  
decrease (p.193).  
  If you shoot something that has fine detail (field of grass, etc.), the file  
size will be larger and the actual maximum burst might be lower than  
the number mentioned on page 72.  
ISO 100 cannot be set.  
  Under the [7 Custom Functions n)] enu, if [Highlight tone  
priority] is set to [Enable], IS100 nnot be set. When [Highlight  
tone priority] is set to [DisaO 00 can be set (p.194). This also  
applies to movie shoong (p.1
The Auto Lighting Optimizer cannot be set.  
  Under the [7 Custom Functions (C.Fn)] menu, if [Highlight tone  
priority] is set to [Enable], the Auto Lighting Optimizer cannot be set.  
When [Highlight tone priority] is set to [Disable], then the Auto  
Lighting Optimizer can be set (p.194). This also applies to movie  
shooting (p.134).  
When I use the <f> mode with flash, the shutter speed  
becomes slow.  
  If you shoot at night when the background is dark, the shutter speed  
becomes slow automatically (slow-sync shooting) so that both the  
subject and background are properly exposed. If you do not want a  
slow shutter speed to be set, set the [7 Custom Functions (C.Fn)]  
menu’s [Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to 1 or 2 (p.192).

Troubleshooting Guide  
The built-in flash does not fire.  
  If you shoot continuously with the built-in flash at short intervals, the  
flash might stop operating to protect the flash unit.  
The camera makes a noise when it is shaken.  
  The built-in flash’s pop-up mechanism moves slightly. This is normal.  
The shutter makes two shooting sounds during Live View  
shooting.  
  If you use flash, the shutter will make two sounds each time you shoot  
(p.109).  
The movie shooting terminates by itelf.  
  If the card’s writing speed is sloovie hooting may stop  
automatically. Use an SD d Cass 6 “  
” or faster card. To  
find out the card’s read/weed, see the card manufacturer’s Web  
site, etc.  
  If the movie file size reaches 4 GB or if the movie recording time  
reaches 29 min. 59 sec., movie shooting will stop automatically.  
When a movie is played, camera operation noise can be  
heard.  
  If you operate the camera’s dials or lens during movie shooting, the  
respective operation noise will also be recorded. Using an external  
microphone (commercially available) is recommended (p.135).

Troubleshooting Guide  
Display & Operation Problems  
The LCD monitor does not display a clear image.  
  If the LCD monitor is dirty, use a soft cloth to clean it.  
  In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow  
or might look black. It will return to normal at room temperature.  
The menu screen shows few tabs and options.  
  In Basic Zone modes and in movie shooting mode, certain tabs and  
menu options are not displayed. Set the shooting mode to a Creative  
Zone mode (p.40).  
The image cannot be erased.  
  If the image has been protected, it ot berased (p.170).  
The file name’s first charactan underscore (“_MG_”).  
  Set the color space to RGB. If Adobe RGB is set, the first character  
will be an underscore (p.96).  
The file numbering does not start from 0001.  
  If you use a card which already has images recorded, the file  
numbering might start from the last image in the card (p.140).

Troubleshooting Guide  
The shooting date and time displayed is incorrect.  
  The correct date and time has not been set (p.29).  
No image appears on the TV screen.  
  Make sure the AV cable or HDMI cable’s plug is inserted all the way in  
(p.167, 169).  
  Set the video OUT system (NTSC/PAL) to the same video system as  
the TV set (p.214).  
  Use the AV cable that came with the camera (p.169).  
The card reader does not detect the card.  
  Depending on the card reader and computer OS used, SDXC cards  
might not be correctly detected. In such a case, connect your camera  
and computer with the providerface cable, and transfer the  
images to your computer ng ES Utility (provided software).  
The [Eye-Fi Setting] menm does not appear.  
  [Eye-Fi Settings] will only appear when the Eye-Fi card is inserted in  
the camera. If the Eye-Fi card has a write-protect tab, you will not be  
able to check the card’s connection status, or disable Eye-Fi card  
transmission when the tab is in the locked position.  
Printing-Related Problems  
There are fewer printing effects than listed in the instruction  
manual.  
  What is displayed on the screen differs depending on the printer. This  
instruction manual lists all the printing effects available (p.180).

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 ild swallows the battery, consult a  
physician immediately. (Battery chemicaharm the stomach and intestines.)  
• When disposing of a battery pack ck-battery, insulate the electrical contacts  
with tape to prevent contact with etac objects or batteries. This is to prevent  
fire or an explosion.  
• If excessive heat, smoke, fumes are emitted during battery pack recharging,  
immediately unplug the battry carger 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.

233  
• 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 ut a heavy object on the cord.  
Also do not twist or tie the cords.  
- Do not connect too many power plugs to the me pwer outlet.  
- Do not use a cord whose insulation has bemage.  
• Occasionally unplug the power plug aa y cloth to clean off the dust around  
the power outlet. If the surrounding is umi, or oily, the dust on the power outlet  
may become moist and short-rcuit the 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
