contained on the card to a computer.
Display the menu.

management information on the card and does not ensure its contents are
completely erased. Be careful when transferring or disposing of a memory
card. When disposing of a memory card, take precautions such as
physically destroying the card to prevent personal information leaks.
The total capacity of the memory card displayed in the formatting screen
may be less than indicated on the memory card.

Shooting with Commonly
Used Functions
This chapter explains how to shoot in diffent conditions, as well as
how to use common functions, such as telf-timer.
•
•
This chapter assumes the camera is set to A mode for “Zooming in
More Closely on Subjects (Digital Zoom)” (p. 58) to “Using the Self-Timer”
(p. 61). When shooting in a mode other than A, check which functions
are available in that mode (pp. 182 – 185).
“Shooting in Various Conditions” (p. 62) to “Shooting in “Take Shots That
Look Like a Miniature Model (Miniature Effect)” (p. 70) assumes that the
corresponding mode has been chosen.
57
Zooming in More Closely on Subjects
(Digital Zoom)
You can use the digital zoom to zoom up to approximately 140x and capture
subjects that are too far away for the optical zoom to enlarge. The images
may appear coarse, however, depending on the recording pixel setting (p. 74)
and the zoom factor used.
Move the zoom lever toward i.
● Hold the lever until zooming stops.
X The zoom will stop when the largest
possible zoom factor without image
deterioration has been reached, and the

What if the zoom factor appears in blue?
Images shot at zoom factors that appear in blue will be coarse.
Turning off the digital zoom
To turn off the digital zoom, press the n button to choose [Digital Zoom] in
the 4 tab, then choose [Off].
The focal length when using the optical zoom and digital zoom together is
24 – 3360 mm, and 24 – 840 mm when using the optical zoom alone (all
focal lengths are 35mm film equivalent).
58
Zooming in More Closely on Subjects (Digital Zoom)
Digital Tele-Converter
The focal length of the lens can be increased by approx. 1.7x or approx. 2.1x.
This enables a faster shutter speed and less chance of camera shake than
the zoom (including digital zoom) used by itself at the same zoom factor. The
images may appear coarse, however, depending on the combination of
recording pixel (p. 74) and digital tele-converter settings used.

sides of objects when shooting from a vertical
position. However, depending on the angle, the
bracket may interfere with opening the LCD
monitor. Please use the camera with the LCD
monitor closed and the screen facing outward.
Other Canon Flashes
Canon flashes other than the Speedlite EX series will fire at their full strength.
For the optimal aperture values and ISO speeds for the distance to the
subject, refer to the guide number listed in the flash’s user guide.

Using an Eye-Fi Card
Before using an Eye-Fi card, be sure to check whether Eye-Fi card use is
authorized in the country or territory of use (p. 16).
When you put a prepared Eye-Fi card into the camera, you can automatically
transfer your images wirelessly to a computer, or upload them to a web
service.
Image transfer is a function of the Eye-Fi card. For details on how to setup
and use the card, and concerning problems transferring images, please refer
to the Eye-Fi card user guide, or contact the manufacturer.
Please keep the following things in mind when using an Eye-Fi card.
• Even if you set [Eye-Fi trans.] to [Disable] (p. 173), the Eye-Fi card may
transmit radio waves. Be sure to remove the Eye-Fi card from the camera
before entering areas that prevent unauthorized transmission of radio waves,
such as hospitals and airplanes.
• If you have trouble transferring images, chethard or computer settings.
For details, refer to the user guide sed wite card.
• Depending on the connection stawirelesetwork, it may take time

Troubleshooting
Image is blurred.
•
•
•
•
•
Press the shutter button halfway to focus on the subject, then press fully to shoot (p. 24).
Shoot the subject within the focusing distance (p. 189).
Set the [AF-assist Beam] to [On] (p. 158).
Confirm that functions which you do not intend to use (macro, etc.) are not set.
Shoot using the focus lock or AF lock (pp. 82, 87).

Set the [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] (p. 159). When shooting with the flash, the lamp (on
the front of the camera) lights (p. 44), and for approximately 1 second while the camera
is reducing red-eye, it is not possible to shoot. It is more effective if the subject is
looking directly at the lamp. Even better results can be obtained by increasing the
lighting in indoor settings or approaching closer to the subject.
175
Troubleshooting
Recording images to the memory card takes a long time, or continuous
shooting slows down.
•
Perform a low-level format of the memory card in the camera (p. 54).
Cannot make settings for shooting functions or ø menu.
