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 Panel and 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, and 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
When you shoot continuously for a prolonged period or use Live View shooting
for a long 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.

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 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 <
> is
aligned over the blue sticker on the battery. If the battery is
exhausted, attach the cover in the opposite orientation.
When not using the camera, rve te battery.
If the battery is left in the cafoa prolonged period, a small amount
of power current is releasedting in excess discharge and shorter
battery life. Store the battery wh the protective cover attached. Storing
the battery after it is fully carged can lower the battery’s performance.
The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.
The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/
60 Hz power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available
plug adapter for the respective country or region. Do not attach any
portable voltage transformer to the battery charger. Doing so 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.
After disconnecting the charger’s power plug, do not touch the charger
power plug (prongs) for at least 3 sec.
If the battery’s remaining capacity (p.212) is 94% or higher, the battery
will not be recharged.
The charger cannot charge any battery other than Battery Pack LP-E6.

depending on the shooting conditions.
Pressing the shutter button halfway for long periods or operating only the
autofocus can also reduce the number of possible shots.
The number of possible shots will decrease with more frequent use of
the LCD monitor.
The lens operation is powered by the camera’s battery. Depending on
the lens used, the number of possible shots may be lower.
Using the Image Stabilizer of the lens will decrease the number of
possible shots (shorter battery life).
For battery life with Live View shooting, see page 112.
See the [7Battery info.] menu to further check the battery’s condition
(p.212).

With the fully-automatic mode/C), all you do is point
and shoot and the camra sets everything automatically
(p.218). Also, to prevent bothed pictures due to mistaken
operations, major shooting settings cannot be changed in the
fully-automatic modes.

FAQ
The focus confirmation light <o> blinks and focus is not
achieved.
Aim the AF point over an area having good contrast between light
and dark, then press the shutter button halfway (p.84). 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.
As long as the AF point covering the desired subject flashes, you
can take the picture.
The beeper continues to beep softly. (The focus confirmation
light <o> also does not light.)
It indicates that the camera is focusing ontinuously on a moving
subject. (The focus confirmation t <o> does not light.) While the
beeper is beeping, you can prese shutter button completely to
shoot a moving subject in .
Pressing the shuttr button halfway does not focus the subject.
When the focus mode switch on the lens is set to <MF> (Manual
Focus), the camera does not focus. Set the focus mode switch to
<AF> (Auto Focus).
The shutter speed display is blinking.
Since it is too dark, taking the picture may result in a blurred shot
due to camera shake. Either use a tripod or an external EX-series
Speedlite (sold separately, p.103) when shooting.
Although I used an external Speedlite, the bottom part of the
photo came out dark.
If the lens hood is attached, it will obstruct the flash. If the subject is
near to the camera, detach the hood before shooting with flash.

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”.
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.

Figures for the file size, possible shots, and maximum burst during continuous
shooting are based on Canon’s testing standards (ISO 100 and Standard
Picture Style) using a 2GB card. These figures will vary depending on the
subject, card brand, ISO speed, Picture Style, Custom Functions, etc.
Maximum burst during continuous shooting figures in parentheses apply to an
Ultra DMA (UDMA) 2GB card based on Canon’s testing standards.
If you select both RAW and JPEG, the same image will be recorded
simultaneously to the card in both types at the selected image-recording
quality. The two images will be saved in the same folder with the same
file numbers (file extension .JPG for JPEG and .CR2 for RAW).
When D1 or D2 is selected, the LCD panel will display D.
The icons are read as follows: 1 (RAW), D1 (Small RAW1),
D2 (Small RAW2), JPEG, 7 (Fine), 8 (Normal), 3 (Large), 4
(Medium), and 6 (Small).

About RAW
The RAW image is the data output by the image sensor, converted to
digital data and recorded on the card as is. You can select it from
among 1, D1, or D2. “RAW” written in the text will refer to
all three RAW settings: 1, D1, and D2.
With RAW images, you can use the provided software to make various
adjustments as needed. From the RAW image, the software can
develop and produce the adjusted image in the desired type such as
JPEG or TIFF.
About [8C.Fn II -2: High ISO speed noise reduction] and
RAW or RAW+JPEG images
Although [8C.Fn II -2: High ISO speed noise reduction] (p.195) settings
(Standard/Low/Strong/Disable) are applied to threcorded images, the
images used for image playback (on the LCD mnitor or TV screen) and
direct printing (except RAW+73/83) ot aplied with noise reduction
(noise may be noticeable in the is).
Confirm the noise reduction effecint noise-reduced images with
Digital Photo Professiona(provideftware).
Commercial software might not be able to display RAW images. Using the
provided software is recommended.
Maximum Burst During Continuous Shooting
The maximum burst during continuous shooting indicated on the
preceding page is the number of continuous shots that can be taken
without stopping, based on a formatted 2GB card.
The number is displayed in the
viewfinder on the bottom right. If the
maximum burst is 99 or higher, “99” will
be displayed.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

3Setting the Image-recording Quality
The maximum burst is displayed even when a card is not in the camera.
Make sure that a card is loaded before taking a picture.
If [8C.Fn II -2: High ISO speed noise reduction] is set to [2: Strong],
the maximum burst will be greatly reduced (p.195).
If the viewfinder displays “99” for the maximum burst, it means the
maximum burst is 99 or higher. If 98 or lower is displayed, the maximum
burst is 98 or lower. If you stop the continuous shooting, the maximum
burst will increase. After all the captured images are written to the card,
the maximum burst will be as listed on page 55.
The maximum burst indicator in the viewfinder will not change even
when you use a UDMA CF card. However, the maximum burst shown in
parentheses on page 55 will apply.

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.

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 drop 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).
The default setting is [Enable].

3Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction
About the Lens Correction Data
The camera already contains lens peripheral light correction data for
about 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 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 aeadcaptured, lens peripheral light correction
cannot be applied.
Depending on shooting conditions, noise might appear on the image
periphery.
When using a third-party 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.

About Folders
As with “100EOS5D” for example, the folder name starts with three digits
(folder number) followed by five alphanumeric characters. A folder can contain
up to 9999 images (file No. 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.75) 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.

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:

Even after you replace the card ate a new folder, the file
numbering continues in sequenco 9999. This is convenient when
you want to save the imags numbered anywhere between 0001 to
9999 in multiple cards or folders into one folder in your personal
computer.
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 use continuous file numbering, you should use a
newly-formatted card each time.

Manual Reset
To reset the file numbering to 0001 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 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 the file number in the 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 to replace the card. Replace 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.

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
Adobe RGB. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended.
In the fully-automatic modes (1/C), sRGB is set automatically.
Select [Color space].
1
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 fommercial printing and other
industrial uses. This setting is nt recommended if you do not know
about image processing, Adobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File
System 2.0 (Exif 2.21). The image will look very subdued in the 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. The ICC profile is explained in the
Software Instruction Manual in the CD-ROM.

f: Selecting the AF ModeN
When the AF point selection (p.81) is automatic, the camera first
uses the center AF point to focus. Within the spot metering circle,
there are six invisible Assist AF points („ in diagram) that function in
the AI SERVO AF mode. Therefore, even if the subject moves away
from the center AF point during autofocusing, focusing can still
continue. Also, even if the subject moves far away from the center
AF point, focus tracking continues as long as the subject is covered
by another AF point.
A manually-selected AF point will focus trak the subject in the AI
Servo AF mode.
With AI Servo AF, the beeper will soueven when focus is achieved.
Also, the focus confirmation light n te viewfinder will not light.
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. However, the focus confirmation light
<o> in the viewfinder will not light.

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.199),
shooting with mirror lockup will be possible.
1 Focus the subject, press the shutter button completely
and release it.

X The picture is taken and the mirror goes back down.
In very bright light such as at the h or ki slope on a sunny day, take
the picture promptly after mirror lop.
Do not point the camera the sun. The sun’s heat can scorch and
damage the shuttecurtain
If you use bulb expsures, the self-timer, and mirror lockup in
combination, keep pressing 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 <Q> or <k>, 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.
You can also lockup the mirror and shoot with the remote controller (sold
separately, p.102). With Remote Controller RC-6/RC-1, setting it to a 2-
sec. delay is recommended for shooting.

Live View Shooting Cautions
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 LivView image. However, the
chrominance noise will not be recorded ihe captured image.
When you magnify the image, thge sarpness may look more
pronounced than it really i
About the <E> icon and cainternal temperature increase
When you shoot cotinuously with the Live View function for a long
period or in high temeraures, the camera’s internal temperature may
increase and the <E> warning icon will appear on the screen. Note that
if you shoot with the Live View function for a long period in high
temperatures, the <E> warning icon will appear earlier. Turn off the
camera when not shooting images.
If you shoot with the Live View function while the <E> warning icon is
displayed, the image quality of still photos may be degraded. You should
stop Live View shooting and allow the camera to rest until the camera’s
internal temperature decreases.
If Live View shooting continues while the <E> warning icon is displayed,
the camera’s internal temperature will further increase and Live View
shooting may stop automatically. Live View shooting will be disabled until
the camera’s internal temperature decreases. Turn off the camera and
allow the camera to rest for a while.

Live View Shooting Cautions
Notes About the Shooting Results
When you shoot with the Live View function at high ISO speeds, noise
(horizontal banding, dots of light, etc.) or irregular colors may appear.
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.
When you playback an image shot at high ISO speeds, noise or irregular
colors 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 speend aperture will be
displayed in red. Even if you take thure dring magnified view, the
image will be captured in the al vw.
Custom Function Notes
During Live View shoong, certain Custom Function settings will be
disabled (p.191-192).
If [8C.Fn II -4: Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.196) is set to a setting
other than [3: Disable], the image may still look bright even if exposure
compensation or flash exposure compensation has been set to make the
exposure darker.

The movie and still photo will be recorded to the card as separate
files. If you use continuous shooting, the captured still photos will be
recorded to the card.
In <s> (Shutter-priority AE) mode, AEB is not possible.
External Speedlites will not fire during movie shooting.
Continuous still photo shooting is possible during movie shooting, but the
captured images will not be displayed on the screen. Depending on the still
photo’s image-recording quality, number of shots during continuous
shooting, card performance, etc., movie shooting might stop automatically.
For continuous shooting of still photos during movie shooting, using a
high-speed CF card compatible with UDMA transfers is recommended.
Setting a lower image-recording quality for still photos and shooting
fewer continuous still photos can also resolve the problem.

Movie Shooting Cautions
Recording and Image Quality
When you shoot movies at high ISO speeds, noise (horizontal banding,
dots of light, etc.) or irregular colors may appear.
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 may cause the total movie shooting time or the
number of possible shots to decrease. If you use a tripod or if the Image
Stabilizer is not necessary, you should set the IS switch to <2>.
The camera’s built-in microphone will also pick up camera operation
noise. If you use a commercially-available external microphone, you can
prevent (or reduce) these noises from being recorded.
Autofocusing during movie shooting is not recommended since it might
momentarily throw the focus way off or change the exposure. If the AF
mode has been set to [Quick mode], AF s not possible even if you

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 will stop
automatically.
Indicator
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.
During movie shooting, certain Custom Function settings will be disabled

Movie Shooting Cautions
About the <E> icon and camera’s internal temperature increase
When you shoot movies continuously for a long period or in high
temperatures, the camera’s internal temperature may increase and the
<E> icon may appear on the screen. Note that if you shoot movies for a
long period in high temperatures, the <E> icon will appear earlier. Turn
off the camera when not shooting movies.
If you shoot movies while the <E> icon is displayed, the image quality of
the movies will not be degraded. However, if you shoot still photos while
the <E> warning icon is displayed, the image quality of still photos may
be degraded. You should stop movie shooting and allow the camera to
rest until the camera's internal temperature decreases.
If movie shooting continues while the <E> warning icon is displayed, the
camera’s internal temperature will further increase and movie shooting
may stop automatically. Movie shooting will bdisabled until the
camera’s internal temperature decreases. Tuoff the camera and allow
the camera to rest for a while.
Playback and TV Connection
If the brightness changes greang movie shooting, that part might
look momentarily still when you playback the movie.
If you connect the camerto a TV set (p.157-158) and shoot a movie,
the TV will not output any sound during the shooting. However, the
sound will be properly recorded.
If you connect the camera to a TV set with an HDMI cable (p.158) and
shoot a movie in [1920x1080], the movie being shot will be displayed at
a small size on the TV. However, the actual movie will be properly
recorded at the movie recording size that was set.

About the Histogram
The brightness histogram display shows the exposure level
distribution and overall brightness. The RGB histogram display is for
checking the color saturation and gradation. The display can be
switched with the [4Histogram] menu.
[Brightness] Display
Sample Histograms
This histogram is a graph showing the
distribution of the image’s brightness level. The
horizontal axis indicates the brightness level
(darker on the left and brighter on the right),
while the vertical axis indicates how many
pixels exist for each brightness level. The more
pixels there are toward the left, the darker the
image. And the more pixels there are towarthe
right, the brighter the image. If there to
many pixels on the left, the shadow ail will be
lost. And if there are too manls n the
right, the highlight detawill be . The

gradation in-between wibe eproduced. By checking the image and
its brightness histogram, you can see the exposure level inclination
and the overall tone reproduction.
[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.

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.

preventing subject blur and camera shake. The only problem is that,
while the subject will be properly exposed with the flash, the background
will come out dark.

The flash-sync speed is fixed to 1/200 sec. This better prevents subject
blur and camera shake than with setting 1. However, the background will

Troubleshooting Guide
If there is a problem, 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 genuine Canon Battery
Pack LP-E6.
The charger’s lamp blinks at high speed.
If there is a problem with the battery charger or battery pack or if
communication with the battery pack (non-Canon battery packs) is not
possible, the protective circuit will termiate the charging and the
orange lamp will blink quickly at egulainterval. If there is a problem
with the battery charger or batteack, unplug the charger’s power
plug from the power outlech and reattach the battery pack to the
charger. Wait 2 to minuten reconnect the power plug to the
power outlet.
The charger’s lamp does not blink.
If the internal temperature of the battery pack attached to the charger
is high, the charger will not charge the battery for safety reasons (lamp
off). During the charging, if the battery’s temperature becomes high for
any reason, the charging will stop automatically (lamp blinks). When
the battery temperature goes down, the charging will resume
automatically.
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 compartment cover is closed (p.26).
Make sure the card slot cover is closed (p.29).

223
Troubleshooting Guide
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 light/blink for a few sec. When the image recording is
completed, the power will turn off automatically.
The battery becomes exhausted quickly.
Use a fully-charged battery (p.24).
The battery performance might be degraded. See the [7Battery
info.] menu to check the battery’s performance level (p.212). If the
battery performance is poor, replace the battery with a new one.
If you keep displaying the Quick Control screen (p.38) or shooting with
Live View function (p.107) for a prolonged eriod, the number of
possible shots will decrease.
The camera turns off by its
Auto power off is in efect. If yoo not want auto power off to take
effect, set the [5Auto power off] menu to [Off].
Shooting-Related Problems
The lens cannot be attached.
The camera cannot be used with EF-S lenses (p.31).
The card cannot be used.
If a card error message is displayed, see page 30 or 231.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
224
Troubleshooting Guide
No images can be shot or recorded.
The card is not properly inserted (p.29).
If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to
make room (p.29, 160).
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.35, 84).
The image is out of focus.
Set the lens focus mode switch to <AF> (p.31).
To prevent camera shake, hold the camera still and press the shutter
button gently (p.34, 35).
If the lens has an Image Stabilizer, set te IS switch to <1>.
The maximum burst during conuous shooting is lower.
Set [8C.Fn II -2: High Ieed noise reduction] to one of the
following settings: StandardLow/Disable]. If it is set to [Strong], the
maximum burst will grealy decrease (p.195).
If you shoot a subject which has minute details (field of grass, etc.), the
file size will be larger and the maximum burst will be lower as
mentioned on page 55.
ISO 100 cannot be set.
If [8C.Fn II -3: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable], the
settable ISO speed range will be ISO 200 - 6400. When [Disable] is
set, you can set any ISO speed (p.196).

225
Troubleshooting Guide
When I use the <f> mode with flash, the shutter speed
becomes slow.
If you shoot night scenes, 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 [8C.Fn I -7: Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to
1 or 2 (p.194).
The flash does not fire.
Make sure the flash (or PC sync cord) is securely attached to the
camera.
If you use a non-Canon flash with Live View shooting, set [Silent
shoot.] to [Disable] (p.104).
The flash always fires at full outp
If you use a flash unit other tEX-series Speedlite, the flash will
always be fired at full utput (p3).
When the [Flash meterng mode] flash Custom Function is set to
[TTL (autoflash)], the flash will always be fired at full output (p.106).
Flash exposure compensation cannot be set.
If flash exposure compensation has already been set with the
Speedlite, flash exposure compensation cannot be set with the
camera. When the Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation is set to
0, flash exposure compensation can be set with the camera.
High-speed sync cannot be set in the Av mode.
Set [8C.Fn I -7: Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to [0: Auto]
(p.194).

Troubleshooting Guide
Live View shooting is not possible.
For Live View shooting, use a memory card (a hard disk-type card 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 Live View shooting (p.123).
I cannot take still photos at the shutter speed, aperture or ISO
speed I set during Live View shooting.
Set [Screen settings] to [Stills display] or [Exposure simulation]
(p.109).
Movie shooting terminates by itself.
If the card’s writing speed slowmovie shooting may stop
automatically. Use a card read/write speed of at least 8 MB per
sec. To find out the card’s rwrite speed, see the card
manufacturer’s Web site
If the movie file size reaches 4 GB or if the movie is shot for 29 min. 59
sec., the movie shooting will stop automatically.
Movies cannot be shot with manual exposure.
Set [LV func. setting] to [Stills+movie], set [Screen settings] to
[Movie display] (p.126), and set the Mode Dial to <a>.
The ISO speed cannot be set when shooting movies.
When the shooting mode is set to <1/C/d/s/f/F>, the ISO
speed will be set automatically. You can set the ISO speed manually in
the <a> mode (p.131).

227
Troubleshooting Guide
During movie shooting, the exposure becomes bright
momentarily.
Changing the aperture during movie shooting is not recommended
since changes 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.
When the movie is played, the subject looks distorted.
During movie shooting, if you quickly move the camera left or right
(high-speed panning) or shoot a moving subject, the image might look
distorted.
When I shoot still photos during vie shooting, movie
shooting terminates.
To shoot still photos dring movshooting, using a CF card
compatible with UDMA tranfer rates is recommended.
Setting a lower image-recording quality for still photos and shooting
fewer continuous still photos can also resolve the problem.
The movie cannot play.
Movies shot with another EOS camera might not play on this camera.
Movies edited with a personal computer using the provided software,
etc., cannot be played with the camera.
When the movie is played, camera operation noise can be heard.
If you operate the camera’s dials or lens during movie shooting, the
operation noise will also be recorded. Using an external microphone
(commercially available) (p.141) is recommended.

Display & Operation Problems
The LCD monitor does not display a clear image.
If dust is adhering to the LCD monitor, wipe its surface with a lens cloth
or soft cloth.
In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow
or might look black. It will return to normal at room temperature.
Few tabs and options are displayed on the menu screen.
In the fully-automatic modes (1/C), some tabs and options are not
displayed. Set the shooting mode to <d/s/f/a/F> (p.40).
Part of the image blinks in black.
The [4Highlight alert] option et to Enable] (p.145).
A red box is displayed omage.
The [4AF point isp.] option is set to [Enable] (p.145).
The image cannot be erased.
If the image has been erase-protected, it cannot be erased (p.159).
The file name’s first character is an underscore (“_MG_”).
Set the color space to sRGB. If Adobe RGB is set, the first character
will be an underscore (p.76).
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.74).
The shooting date and time displayed is incorrect.
The correct date and time has not been set (p.42).

Troubleshooting Guide
No image appears on the TV screen.
Make sure the stereo video cable or HDMI cable’s plug is connected
all the way in (p.157,158).
Set the video OUT format (NTSC/PAL) to the same video format as
the TV (p.221).
Use the stereo video cable that came with the camera (p.157).
Sensor Cleaning Problems
The shutter makes a noise during sensor cleaning.
If you selected [Clean nowf], the shutter will make a shutter sound
two times (p.166).
Printing-Related Problem
There are fewer printing effects than listed in the instruction
manual.
The printing effects displayed may differ depending on the printer. The
instruction manual lists all the printing effects available (p.176).
