44 All you do is point the camera and press the shutter b utton. Everything is automatic so it is easy to photograph an y subject. With se ven AF points to focus the subject, an yone can easily take nice pictures.
45 1 Using Full Auto 5 T ake the picture . ¡ Compose the shot and press the shutter button completely . s The captured image will be display ed for about 2 sec. on the LCD monitor. ¡ T o view the images recorded on the CF card, press the < x > button.
46 Just select a shooting mode suiting the target subject, and y ou can easily obtain the best results. This mode blurs the bac kground to make the human subject stand out.
47 Basic Zone Modes This is for f ast-moving subjects when you want to freeze the action. ¡ The camera will first trac k the subject with the center AF point. Focus trac king will then continue with any of the sev en AF points covering the subject. ¡ While you press the shutter b utton, focusing will continue f or continuous shooting.
48 Use the self-timer when you w ant to be in the picture. Y ou can use self- timer in any Basic Zone mode or Creativ e Zone mode. 1 Select < Q >. ¡ Look at the LCD panel and press the < i Q > button to select < Q >. 2 Focus the subject.

50 During self-timer or remote control operation when your e ye does not cov er the viewfinder e yepiece, str ay light ma y enter the eyepiece and throw off the e xposure. T o pre vent this, use the e yepiece cov er (attached to the neck strap) to co ver the ey epiece.
51 3 Image Settings This chapter e xplains the digital image settings for the image-recording quality , ISO speed, white balance, color space, and processing parameters . ¡ For Basic Zone modes , only the image-recording quality (except RA W and RA W+ 7 L), file number ing, and camera setting check will apply in this chapter .
52 The 73 / 83 / 74 / 84 / 76 / 86 modes record the image in the widely-used JPEG. In the 1 mode, the captured image will require post-processing with the software provided. In the 1 + 73 (RA W+JPEG) mode, the image is recorded in both the RA W and JPEG simultaneously .
53 3 Setting the Image-recording Quality ¡ The number of possible shots and maxim um burst (p .54) apply to a Canon 512MB CF card. ¡ The single image size, n umber of possible shots, and maxim um burst during continuous shooting are based on Canon’ s testing standards (ISO 100 with [ Parameter 1 ] set).
3 Setting the Image-recording Quality 54 The maximum burst during continuous shooting depends on the image- recording quality . The approx. maximum burst during continuous shooting is indicated below f or each image-recording quality .
55 The ISO speed is a numeric indication of the sensitivity to light. A higher ISO speed number indicates a higher sensitivity to light. Therefore, a high ISO speed is suited for lo w light and moving subjects. Howe ver , the image may look more g rainy with noise , etc.
56 Normally , the < Q > setting will set the optimum white balance automatically . If natural-looking colors cannot be obtained with < Q >, you can set the white balance manually to suit the respectiv e light source. In the Basic Zone modes, < Q > will be set automatically .
57 With custom white balance, y ou shoot a white object that will ser ve as the basis for the white balance setting. By selecting this image, you impor t its white balance data for the white balance setting. 1 Photograph a white object. ¡ The plain, white object should fill the viewfinder center .
3 Custom White Balance N 58 5 Select the custom white balance. ¡ Press the < S > ke y to select < O >, then press < 0 >. ¡ When you press the shutter b utton halfwa y , the < O > icon will be display ed on the LCD panel.
59 Y ou can correct the standard color temperature f or the white balance setting. This adjustment will hav e the same effect as using a color temperature conv ersion or color compensating filter.
60 With just one shot, three images ha ving a different color hue can be recorded simultaneously . Based on the white balance mode’ s color temper ature, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bias or magenta/g reen bias. This is called white balance br ack eting.
61 3 White Balance Auto Bracketing N 4 T ake the picture . s If B/A brack eting has been set, the three images will be recorded onto the CF card in the follo wing sequence: Nor mal white balance, blue bias , and amber bias. If M/G brack eting has been set, the sequence will be normal white balance, magenta bias, and g reen bias.
62 The color space refers to the r ange of reproducible colors . With this camera, you can set the color space f or captured images to sRGB or Adobe RGB. F or normal images, sRGB is recommended. In the Basic Zone modes, sRGB will be set automatically .
63 The image you capture can be processed internally by the camera to look more vivid and sharp or more subdued. The processing parameters can be set according to the preset P arameter 1 or P arameter 2 or to Set 1, 2, or 3 that you can set y ourself.
64 The image you capture can be processed automatically b y the camera in accordance with the parameter settings y ou set (five lev els each for [ Contrast ], [ Sharpness ], [ Saturation ], and [ Color tone ]). Y ou can register and sav e up to three sets of processing parameters .
65 3 Setting the Processing Parameters N When you capture images with the processing parameter set to B/W , the camera will process and record the images as black-and-white images onto the CF card. 1 Select [B/W]. ¡ In step 3 on page 64, select [ B/W ], then press < 0 >.
3 Setting the Processing Parameters N 66 The same effect as using filters with b lack-and-white film can be obtained with digital images. A color can be brightened by using a filter having a similar or same color . At the same time, the complementar y colors will be darkened.
67 The file number is lik e the frame number on fi lm. There are two file numbering methods: [ Contin uous ] and [ A uto reset ]. The images you take are automatically assigned a fi le number from 0001 to 9999 and sav ed in a folder (created automatically) that can hold up to 100 images .
68 When folder No . 999 is created, [ Folder number full ] will appear on the LCD monitor . If file No . 9999 is created, “ Err CF ” will be displayed on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder . Replace the CF card with a new one. For both JPEG and RA W images, the fi le name will star t with “IMG_”.
69 4 Setting the AF, Metering, and Drive Modes The viewfinder has se ven AF points . By selecting a suitab le AF point, you can shoot with autof ocus while framing the subject as desired. Y ou can also set the AF mode to suit the subject or obtain the desired eff ect.
70 The AF mode is the autofocusing oper ation method. Three AF modes are provided. One-Shot AF is suited for still subjects , while AI Ser vo AF is for mo ving subjects. And AI Focus AF s witches from One-Shot AF to AI Servo AF automatically if the still subject star ts moving.
71 f Selecting the AF Mode N Pressing the shutter button halfway activ ates the autofocus and achieves f ocus once . s The dot < . > inside the AF point achieving f ocus flashes briefly in red. Also , the focus confirmation light < o > in the viewfinder lights .
f Selecting the AF Mode N 72 * About Predictive AF If the subject approaches or retreats from the camera at a constant rate , the camera trac ks the subject and predicts the focusing distance immediately before the picture is tak en. This is for obtaining correct focus at the moment of e xposure.
73 The AF point is used for f ocusing. The AF point can be selected automatically by the camera or man ually by y ou. In Basic Zone modes and the < 8 8 8 8 > mode, the AF point is selected automatically . In the < d > < s > < f > < a > modes, you can s witch between automatic and manual AF point selection.
S Selecting the AF Point N 74 • Automatic AF point selection • Manual AF point selection Under low-light conditions, when y ou press the shutter button halfwa y , the built-in flash fires a brief burst of flashes . It illuminates the subject to enable easier autof ocusing.
75 After achieving f ocus, you can loc k the focus on a subject and recompose the shot. This is called “f ocus lock. ” F ocus lock works only in the One-Shot AF mode. 1 Set the Mode Dial to a Creative Zone mode. 2 Select the desired AF point. (p.73) 3 Focus the subject.
76 Autof ocus can fail to achie ve focus (the f ocus confir mation light < o > blinks) with certain subjects such as the following: Subjects Difficult to Focus (a) Low-contrast subjects Example: Blue sky , solid-color walls , etc.
77 The camera has three metering modes: Ev aluative , par tial, and center-weighted a verage metering. In the Basic Zone modes, e valuativ e metering will be set automatically . 1 Press the < Y Y Y Y Q > button. s The [ Metering mode ] men u will appear .
78 S i ngle and cont i nuous dr i ve modes are pro v i ded . In the Bas i c Zone modes, the opt i mum dr i v e mode i s set automat i cally . Press the < i Q > button. ¡ Look at the LCD panel and press the < i Q > button to select the dr i ve mode .
79 5 Advanced Operations With Creative Zone modes , you can set the desired shutter speed or aper ture value to obtain the result you w ant. Y ou take control of the camer a. ¡ The asterisk M on the r ight of the page title indicates that the respective f eature is availab le only in Creative Zone modes ( d , s , f , a , 8 8 8 8 ).
80 Like < 1 > (Full A uto) mode, this is a general-purpose shooting mode. The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aper ture value to suit the subject’ s br ightness. This is called Program AE. * < d > stands for Prog ram * AE stands for A uto Exposure 1 Set the Mode Dial to < d >.
81 d Program AE ¡ If “ 30 "” and the maximum aper ture blink, it indicates that the subject is too dark. Increase the ISO speed or use flash.
82 In this mode, y ou set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aper ture value to suit the subject’ s brightness. This is called shutter-priority AE. A f ast shutter speed can freeze the motion of a fast- moving subject, and a slow shutter speed can b lur the subject to give the impression of motion.
83 s Shutter-Priority AE ¡ If the maximum aperture blinks, it indicates underexposure . T urn the < 6 > dial to set a slower shutter speed until the aper ture value stops b linking or set a higher ISO speed. ¡ If the minimum aperture blinks, it indicates ov erexposure .
84 In this mode, y ou set the desired aper ture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the subject brightness. This is called aper ture-priority AE. A larger aper ture opening (lower f/n umber) will result in a blurred background ideal f or por traits.
85 f Aperture-Priority AE ¡ If the “ 30" ” shutter speed blinks, it indicates underexposure . T urn the < 6 > dial to set a larger aper ture (lower f/n umber) until the blinking stops or set a higher ISO speed. ¡ If the “ 4000 ” shutter speed blinks, it indicates ov erexposure .
86 In this mode, y ou manually set both the shutter speed and aper ture value as desired. T o determine the correct exposure , refer to the exposure le vel indicator in the viewfinder or use a handheld exposure meter . This method is called manual e xposure.
87 a Manual Exposure 4 Focus the subject. ¡ Press the shutter button halfw ay . s The exposure setting will be display ed on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder . ¡ The exposure le vel icon < h > shows you ho w far y ou are from the standard exposure le vel.
88 This mode is for obtaining a wide depth of field automatically betw een a near subject and far subject. It is effective f or group photos and landscapes. The camera uses the sev en AF points to detect the nearest and farthest subjects to be in focus .
89 Exposure compensation is used to alter the standard e xposure setting set by the camera. Y ou can make the image look lighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). Y ou can set the exposure compensation up to ±2 stops in 1/3-stop increments .
90 By changing the shutter speed or aper ture automatically , the camera can brack et the exposure up to ±2 stops in 1/3-stop increments f or three successive shots . This is called Auto Exposure Br acketing (AEB). 1 Select [AEB]. ¡ Select the [ m ] tab .
91 3 Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) N ¡ Follo w steps 1 and 2 to set the AEB amount to < >. ¡ AEB will also be canceled automatically if you turn the power switch to < 2 >, change lenses , obtain flash-ready , replace the battery , or replace the CF card.
92 AE lock enab les you to loc k the exposure at a diff erent place from the point of focus . By loc king the exposure, y ou can recompose the shot while maintaining the same exposure setting. This is called AE loc k. It is effectiv e for backlit subjects .
93 When bulb is set, the shutter sta ys open while you hold down the shutter button fully , and closes when you let go of the shutter b utton. This is called bulb e xposure. Use bulb exposures f or night scenes, fireworks, the hea vens, and other subjects requiring long exposures .
94 Mirror lockup is enab led with C.Fn-7 [ Mirr or lockup ] set to [ 1: Enable ] (p .150). The mirror can be s wung up separately from when the exposure is made . This pre vents mirror vibrations which ma y blur the image during close-ups or when a super telephoto lens is used.
95 6 Flash Photography The built-in flash or an EOS- dedicated, EX-series Speedlite enables E-TTL II autoflash (e valuativ e flash meter ing with preflash), making flash photograph y as easy as nor mal shooting. The result is natural- looking flash photos.
96 E-TTL II autoflash obtains high-precision and consistent flash shots. If necessary , the built-in flash will pop-up automatically in low-light or backlit conditions .
97 Using the Built-in Flash Built-in Flash Range With EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 ll [m / ft] ISO speed Wide angle: 18mm T elephoto: 55mm 100 Approx. 1 - 3.7 / 3.3 - 12.1 Approx. 1 - 2.3 / 3.3 - 7.5 200 Approx. 1 - 5.3 / 3.3 - 17.4 Appro x. 1 - 3.3 / 3.3 - 10.
Using the Built-in Flash 98 When flash is used in a low-light en vironment, the subject’ s eyes ma y look red in the image. “Red e ye” happens when the light from the flash reflects off the retina of the ey es.
99 Using the Built-in Flash FE (flash exposure) loc k obtains and locks the correct flash exposure reading for an y par t of a subject. 1 Check that the < D > icon is lit.
Using the Built-in Flash 100 In the same wa y as nor mal exposure compensation, y ou can set exposure compensation f or flash. Y ou can set flash e xposure compensation up to ±2 stops in 1/3-stop increments. 1 Select [Flash exp comp]. ¡ Select the [ m ] tab .
101 An EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlite (optional) makes flash photog raph y as easy as normal shooting. Y ou can easily do the flash operations belo w .
Using EOS-Dedicated, External Speedlites 102 ¡ Before attaching an e xter nal Speedlite, retract the b uilt-in flash if it is popped up. ¡ If the EX-series Speedlite’s firing mode is set to TTL autoflash with the Custom Function, the Speedlite will not fire.
