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.

Recharging 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 non-use or storage, a charged battery will gradually
discharge and lose its power.
After recharging the battery, detach it and unplug the power
cord or prongs from the power outlet.
You can attach the cover in a different
orientation to indicate whether the battery
has been recharged or not.
If the battery has been recharged, attach the
cover so that the battery-shaped hole <
aligned over the blue sticker on tery. If tattery is
exhausted, attach the cover in te orienon.
When not using the a, rehe battery.
If the battery is left in for a olonged period, a small amount
of power current is reing ixcess discharge and shorter
battery liStothe e protective cover attached. Storing
the batteafter it is fully can lower the battery’s performance.
The batty chargcan also be used in foreign countries.
The battery crger iompatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/60 Hz
power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available plug adapter for
the respective country or region. Do not attach any portable voltage
transformer to the battery charger. Doing so can damage the battery charger.
If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully
charged, the battery has worn out.
Purchase a new battery.
Do not recharge any battery pack other than Battery Pack BP-511A, BP-
514, BP-511, or BP-512.
Battery Pack BP-511A 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.

If you can transfer all the images in the card to a personal computer,
transfer all the images and then format the card. The card may then
return to normal.
When holding a hard disk-type card, always hold its sides. You may
damage the card by holding its flat surfaces. Compared to CF cards,
hard disk-type cards are more vulnerable to vibration and physical
shock. If you use such a card, be careful not to subject the camera to
vibration or physical shock especially while recording or displaying
images.

With the EF-S17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM or EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
USM lens, the Image Stabilizer will not be very effective while you move
the camera to take panned shots.
The Image Stabilizer can operate with the focus mode switch set to
either <AF> or <MF>.
If the camera is mounted on a tripod, you can save battery power by
switching the IS switch to <2>.
The Image Stabilizer can operate 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-S18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS and EF-
S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lenses switch the IS mode automatically.

good exposure 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 flash after the picture
is taken.

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 numedlay nder blinks, take care to
prevent caera shake.
Under low lht when camera sake is prone to occur, the
viewfinder’s utter spd display will blink. Hold the camera steady
or use a tripod. hen sing 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.

About White Balance
To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of the type of
lighting. With a digital camera, the color temperature is adjusted with
software to make the white areas look white. This adjustment serves as
the basis for the color correction. The result is natural-looking colors in
the pictures.
You can also use the [2White balance] menu to set the white balance.
71

White Balance Auto Bracketing
With just one shot, three images having a different color tone 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.

bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded for a single shot.
Since three images are recorded for one shot, the card will take longer to
record the shot.
“BKT” stands for Bracketing.

Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction
Due to the lens characteristics, the four corners of the picture might look
darker. This is called lens light fall-off or drops in peripheral illumination.
This can be corrected. For JPEG images, lens light fall-off is corrected
when the image is captured. For RAW images, it can be corrected with
Digital Photo Professional (provided software).

3Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction
About the Lens Correction Data
The camera already contains lens peripheral light correction data for
about 20 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 the 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 ed, leperipheral light correction
cannot bplied.
Depeing on shootinoise might appear on the image
peripy.
When ing a third-arty lens setting the correction to [Disable] is
recommded, evif [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.
The correction might not be noticeable with lenses whose peripheral light
fall-off is minimal.

up to 9999 ima(filo. 0001 - 9999). When a folder becomes full, a new
folder with a higher one-up folder number is created automatically. Also, if
manual reset (p.81) is executed, a new folder will be created automatically.
Folders numbered from 100 to 999 can be created.
Creating Folders with a Personal Computer
With the card open on the screen, create a new folder named “DCIM”. Open
the DCIM folder and create as many folders as necessary to save and
organize your images. The folder name must follow the “100ABC_D” format
where the first three digits is 100 - 999 followed by five alphanumeric
characters. The five characters can be a combination of upper- or lower-case
letters from A to Z, numerals, and an underscore “_”. There can be no space in
the folder name. Also, folder names cannot have the same three-digit number
such as “100ABC_D” and “100W_XYZ” even if the letters are different.
79
3File 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 personal computer in this format:
IMG_0001.JPG.

computer.
If the replacement rd existing folder already contains images
recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images might
continue from the file numbering of the existing images in the card or
folder. If you want to use continuous file numbering, you should use a
newly-formatted card each time.

Whenever the card is replaced or a new folder created, the file
numbering starts from 0001. This is convenient if you want to organize
images according to cards or folders. If the replacement card or existing
folder already contains images recorded previously, the file numbering
of the new images might continue from the file numbering of the existing
images in the card or folder. If you want to save images with the file
numbering starting from 0001, use a newly formattd card each time.

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 when 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 folder No. 999 is created, [Folder number full] will appear on the LCD
monitor. If that folder contains images reaching file number 9999, shooting will
not be possible even if the card still has storage capacity. The LCD monitor will
display a message to replace the card. Replace with a new card.
For both JPEG and RAW images, the file name will start with “IMG_”. The
extension will be “.JPG” for JPEG images and “.CR2” for RAW images.
81
3Setting the Color SpaceN
The color space refers to the range of reproducible colors. With this
camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or

This color space is mainly merl printing and other
industrial uses. his tting mended if you do not know
about image pcessing, Adoand Design rule for Camera File
System 2.0 (E2.21). The image will look very subdued in the sRGB
personal compuenviroment and with printers not compatible with
Design rule for Cara e 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. The ICC profile is explained in the
Software Instruction Manual in the CD-ROM.

Mirror LockupN
Although using the self-timer or Remote Switch can prevent camera
shake, using mirror lockup to prevent camera vibrations can also help
when you use a super telephoto lens or shoot close ups.
When [8C.Fn III -6: Mirror lockup] is set to [1: Enable] (p.180),
shooting with mirror lockup will be possible.
1 Focus the subject, press the shutter button completely

combination, p psing the shutter button completely (self-timer
delay time + bulb exposure time). If you let go of the shutter button
during the 10-sec./2-sec. self-timer countdown, there will be a shutter-
release sound. This is not the actual shutter release (no picture is taken).
When [1: Enable] is set, single shooting will take effect even if the drive
mode is set to continuous.
When the self-timer is set to <j> or <l>, the picture will be taken
after 10 sec. or 2 sec. respectively.
The mirror locks up, and after 30 seconds, it will go back down
automatically. Pressing the shutter button completely again locks up the
mirror again.
For mirror lockup shots, using the Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer
Remote Controller TC-80N3 (both sold separately) is recommended.

EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlites
Basically operates like a built-in flash for easy operation.
When an EX-series Speedlite 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.

Notes about the Live View image
Under low light 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 [6LCD brightn] to right setting,
chrominance noise may appear in the Live Viee. However, the
chrominance noise will not be recthe captd image.
When you magnify the image, tarpness y look more
pronounced than it really is.
Notes about the ssult
When you use Live for a ng period, the camera’s internal
temperay inan derade image quality. Terminate
Live w shooting wting images. Before taking a long
expoe, stop Live Vieng temporarily and wait several minutes
before ooting.
High teratureigh ISO speeds, or long exposures may cause
noise or irrolors in the image captured with Live View shooting.
If you take the picture while the image is magnified, 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 during magnified view, the captured image
will show the normal view.
129
Notes about Custom Functions
Live View shooting will disable some Custom Function settings (p.173).
If [8C.Fn II -4: Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.177) is not set to [3:
Disable], the image will look bright even if a decreased exposure
compensation has been set.
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 external Speedlite is
used. Modeling flash is not possible when external Speedlite is used.

About the Histogram
The brightness histogram display shows the exposure level
distribution and overall brightness. And the RGB histogram display
is for checking the color saturation and gradation. The display can
be switched with the [4Histogram] menu.

[RGB] Display
This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of the image’s
brightness level of each primary color (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.

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 bundled 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.

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

card such as MicroDrive is not recommended). A hard disk-type card
requires a lower temperature range for operation than normal memory
cards. If the temperature gets too high, the Live View shooting may
stop temporarily to prevent damage to the card’s hard disk. When the
camera’s internal temperature decreases, you can resume the Live
View shooting (p.120).
