T o view the images captured so far , press the < x > button. (p.1 13) While focusin g with < AF >, do not touch the foc using ring at the front o f the lens.
48 Just select a shooting mode suiti ng the target subject, and you can easily obtain the best results. This mode blurs the background to make the human subject stand out. Holding down the shutter button execute s continuous shooting. T o increase the backgrou nd blur , use a telephoto lens and fill the frame with the subject f rom the waist up.
49 Basic Zone Modes This is for fast-mov ing subjects when you want to freeze the action. The camera will first track the subject with the center AF point. Focus tracking will then continue with any of the nine AF points covering the subject. While you press the shutter button, focusing will continue for co ntinuous shooting.
50 Use the self-timer when you want to be in the pictur e. Y ou can use self- timer in any Basic Zone mode or Creative Zone mode. 1 Press the < R > button. ( 9 ) 2 Select < j >. While looking at the LCD panel, turn the < 6 > dial to select < j >.
51 3 Image Settings This chapter explain s the digital image settings for the image-recording quality , ISO speed, Picture S tyle, white balance, and color space. For Basic Zone modes, only the image-recording qua lity (except RAW and RA W+JPEG), file numbering, 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. The 1 + 73 /+ 83 / + 74 /+ 84 /+ 76 /+ 86 (RAW+ JPEG) modes simult aneously record the image in both RAW and JPEG images to the CF card with a single shot.
53 3 Setting the Image-recording Quality The number of possible shots and maximum burst (p. 54) apply to a 512MB CF card based on Canon’s testing st andards. The single image size, number of possible shots, and maximum burst during continuous shoot ing are based on Canon’ s testing standards (ISO 10 0, Picture S tyle: [ St andard ]).
3 Setting the Image-recording Quality 54 The maximum bu rst during continuous sh ooting depends on t he image-recording quality and the drive mode (high-spe ed/low-speed con tinuous shooting). The approx. maximum burst during continuous shooting is ind icated below for each image-record ing quality .
55 The ISO speed is a numeric indication of the sensitivity to light. A higher ISO speed number indicates a higher s ensitivity to light. Therefore, a high ISO speed is suited for low light and moving subjects. However , the image may look more coarse with noise, etc.
56 By selecting a Picture Style, you can obtain the desired image effect s. Y ou can also adjust the settings of each Picture S tyle to obtain custom image effects. 1 Select [Picture Style]. T urn the < 5 > dial to select [ z Picture Style ], then press < 0 >.
57 3 Selecting a Picture Style N • Monochrome Y ou can take black-and-white photos. • User Def. 1-3 Y ou can register yo ur own Picture S tyle settings ( p.61). Any User Defined Picture S tyle which has not been set will have the same settings as the S tandard Picture S tyle.
58 Y ou can customize the Picture St yle by changing the individual parameters like [ Sharpness ] and [ Contrast ]. T o customize [ Monochrome ], see page 59. 1 Select [Picture Style]. T urn the < 5 > dial to select [ z Picture Style ], then press < 0 >.
59 3 Customizing the Picture Style N For Monochrome, you can also set [ Filter eff ect ] and [ T o ning effect ] (p.60) in addition to [ Sharpness ] and [ Contrast ]. 1 Select [Monochrome]. Follow step 2 on page 56 to select [ Monochrome ], then press the < C > button.
3 Customizing the Picture Style N 60 Filter Effect The same effect as using filters with black-and-white film can be obtained with digital images. A colo r can be brightened by using a filter having a similar or same color . At the same time, the complementary colors will be darkened.
61 Y ou can select a base Picture Style such as [ Portrait ] or [ Landscape ], adjust its parameters to suit your preferences and register it in User Defined 1 to 3. Y ou can also select a Picture S tyle alread y set with the provided software. 1 Select [Picture Style].
3 Registering the Picture Style N 62 5 Select the parameter . T urn the < 5 > dial to select a parameter like [ Sharpness ], then press < 0 >. 6 Set the desired setting. T urn the < 5 > dial to set the desired setting, then press < 0 >.
63 The color space refers to the range of reproducible color s. With this camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or Adobe RGB. For normal images, sRGB is recommend ed. In the Basic Zone modes, sRGB will be set automatically . 1 Select [C olor space].
64 Normally , the < Q > setting will set the optimum white balance automatically . If natural-looking colors cannot be obtained w ith < Q >, you can set the white balance manually to suit the respective light source. In the Basic Zone modes, < Q > will be set automa tically .
65 With custom white balance, you shoot a wh ite object that will serve as the basis for the white balance setting. By selecting t his image, you import its white balance dat a for the white balance setting. 1 Photogra ph a white object. The plain, white object should fill the spot metering circle.
3 Custom White Balance N 66 If the exposure obtain ed in step 1 is underexposed or overexposed, a correct white balance might not be obt ained. If an image was captured while the Picture S tyle was set to [ Monochrome ] (p.57), it cann ot be selected in step 3.
67 Y ou can correct the standard color temperature fo r the white balance setting. Th is adjustment w ill have the sam e effect as using a color temperature conversion or color co mpensating filter . Each color can be corrected to one of nine leve ls.
68 With just one shot , three images having a different color tone can be recorded simultaneously . Based on the whit e balance mode’s standard color temperature, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bi as or m agenta/green bias. This is called white balance bracketing.
69 3 White Balance Auto Bracketing N 4 T ake the picture. X When B/A bracketing has been set, the three images will be recorded onto the CF card in the following sequence : S tandard WB, B (blue) bias, and A (amber) bias. If M/G bracketing has been set, the sequence will be S tandard WB, M (mage nta) bias, and G (green) bias.
70 The file number is like the frame number on a r oll of film. It can start counting in one of three different ways: [ Continuous ], [ Auto reset ], and [ Manual reset ]. The images you take are automatically assigned a file number from 0001 to 9999 and saved in a folder that can hold up to 9999 images.
71 3 File Numbering Methods When the CF card is replaced with a newly-for matted CF card, the folder numbering and file numbering will restart from the beginning ( 100-0001 ). It will start from folder number 100 and file number 0001 . This is convenient when you want to organize images accord ing to CF cards.
72 When the camera is ready to shoot, press the < B > button to view the current camera settings on the LCD monitor . Display the camera settings. Press the < B > button. X The current camera settings appear on the LCD monitor . T o turn off the settings display , press the < B > button again.
73 4 Setting the AF, Metering, and Drive Modes The viewfin der has 9 AF points . By selecting a suitable AF point, you can shoot with autofocus while framing the subject as desired. Y ou can also set th e AF mode to suit the subject or obtain the desired effect.
74 The AF mode is the autofocusing operat ion method. Three AF modes are provided. One-Shot AF is suited for still subjects, while AI Servo AF is for moving subjects. And AI Focus AF switches from One-Shot AF to AI Servo AF automatically if the stil l subject starts moving.
75 f Selecting the AF Mode N Pressing the shutter button halfway activates the autofocus and achieves focus once. X The AF point which ac hieves focu s flashes briefly . At the sa me time, the focu s confirmat ion light < o > in the viewfi nder is displayed.
f Selecting the AF Mode N 76 About Predictive AF If the subject approaches or retreats from the camera at a constant rate, the camera tracks the subject and predicts the focusing distance immediately before the picture is taken. This is for obtaining correct focus at the moment of exposure.
77 The AF point is used for focusing. The AF point can be selected automatically by the came ra or manually by you. In Basic Zone modes and the < 8 > mode, the AF point is selected automatically . In the < d > < s > < f > < a > mo des, you can switch between automatic and manual AF point selection.
S Selecting the AF Point N 78 Press the < S > button, then turn the < 6 > dial or < 5 > dial to select the AF point in the looping sequ ence shown on the left. Under low-light conditions, when you press the shutte r button halfway , the built-in flash fires a brief burst of flashes.
79 After achieving focus, you can lock the focus on a subject and recompose the shot. This is called “focus lock.” Focus lock wor ks only in the One-Shot AF mode. 1 Set the Mode Dial to a Creative Zone mode. 2 Select the de sired AF point. (p.77) 3 Focus the sub ject.
80 Autofocus can fail to achieve fo cus (the focus confirmation light < o > blinks) with certain subjec ts such as the following: Subjects difficult to focus (a) Low-contrast subjects Example: Blue sky , solid- color walls, etc. (b) Subjects in low light (c) Extremely backlit and reflective subjects Example: Car with a reflective body , etc.
81 Four metering modes are provided: Evaluative, partial, spot, and center-weighted average metering. In the Basic Zone modes, evaluative metering will be set automatically . 1 Press the < Q > button. ( 9 ) 2 Select the metering mode . While looking at the LCD panel, turn the < 6 > dial.
82 Single and continuous drive modes ar e provided. In the Basic Zone modes, the optimum drive mode is set automatically . 1 Press the < R > button. ( 9 ) 2 Select the dr ive mode. While looking at the LCD panel, turn the < 6 > dial. u : Single shooting When you press the shutter button completely , one shot will be taken.
83 5 Advanced Operations With Creative Zon e modes, you can set th e desired shutt er speed or aperture to obtain the result you want. Y ou take control of the camera. The asterisk M on the right of the page title indicates that the respective feature is av ailable only in Creative Zone modes ( d , s , f , a , 8 ).
84 Like < 1 > (Full Auto) mode, this is a general-purpose shooting mode. The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture to suit the subject’s brightness. This is called Program AE. * < d > stands for Progr am * AE stands for Au to Exposure 1 Set the Mode Dial to < d >.
85 d Program AE If “ 30" ” and the maximum aperture blink, it indicates underexposure. I ncrease the ISO speed or use fl ash. If “ 8000 ” and the minimum aperture blink, it indicates overexposure. Decrease the ISO speed or use an ND filter (optional) to reduce the amount of light entering the lens.
86 In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture to suit the brightness of the subject. This is called shutter-priority AE. A fast shutter speed can freeze the motion of a fast- moving subject and a slow shutter speed can blur the subject to give the impression of motion.
87 s Shutter-Priority AE If the maximum aperture blinks, i t indicates underexposure. T urn the < 6 > dial to set a slower shutter speed until the aperture stops blinki ng or set a higher ISO speed. If the minimum aperture blinks, it indicates overexposure.
88 In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the subject brightness. This is called apertur e-priority AE. A higher f/number (smaller aperture hole) will make more of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus.
89 f Aperture-Priority AE If the “ 30" ” shut ter speed blinks, it indicates underexposure. T urn the < 6 > dial to set a larger aperture (smaller f/number) unti l the blinking stops or set a higher ISO speed. If the “ 8000 ” shutter speed blinks, it indicates overexposure.
90 In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture as de sired. T o determine the exposure, refe r to the exposure level indicator in the viewfinder or use a handheld exposure meter . This method is called manual exposure. * < a > stands for Manual.
91 a Manual Exposure 5 Set the expos ure. Check the exposure level and set the desired shutter speed and aperture. 6 T ake the picture. : S tandard exposure level. : T o set it to the standard exposure level, set a slower shutter speed or a larger aperture.
92 This mode is for obtaining a wide depth of field automatically between a near subject and far subject. It is effective for group photos and landscapes. The camera uses the nine AF points to detect the nearest and farthest subjects to be in focus. * < 8 > stand s for Auto-depth of field.
93 Exposure compensat ion is used t o alter the standar d exposure setti ng set by the camer a. Y ou can make t he image look lighter (increased expo sure) or darker (d ecreased exposure). Y ou can set the exposure co mpensation up to ±2 stops in 1/3-sto p increments.
94 By changing the shutter speed or aper ture automatically , the camera brackets the exposure up to ±2 stops in 1/3-stop increments for three successive shots. This is call ed Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB). 1 Select [A EB]. T urn the < 5 > dial to select [ z AEB ], then press < 0 >.
95 3 Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) N Follow steps 1 and 2 to set the AEB amount to < >. It will also be canceled if you set the < 4 > switch to < 2 >, replace the battery , replace the CF card, change the lens, or attain flash ready .
96 AE lock enables you to lock the expos ure at a different place from the point of focus. By locking the exposure, yo u can recompose the shot while maintaining the same exposure se tting. This is ca lled AE lock. It is effective for backlit subjects.
97 When bulb is set, the shutte r stays open while you hold down th e shutter button completely , and closes when yo u let go of the shutter button. This is called bulb exp osure. Use bulb exposures for night scenes, fireworks, the heavens, and other sub jects requiring lo ng exposures.
98 Mirror lockup is enabled with C. Fn-12 [ Mirror lockup ] set to [ 1: Enable ] (p.172). The mirror can be swung up separately from whe n the exposure is made. This prevents mirro r vibrations which may blur the image during close-ups or when a super telephoto le ns is used.
99 The LCD panel is provided with illumination. Each time you press the < U > button, the LCD panel illumination will turn on ( 9 ) or off. Use it to read the LCD p anel in the dark. The illumination will turn off automatically after the shot is taken.
100 Y ou can silence the beeper so it do es not sound in any shooting mode. 1 Select [Beep]. T urn the < 5 > dial to select [ z Beep ], then press < 0 >. 2 Select [Off]. T urn the < 5 > dial to select [ Off ], then press < 0 >.
101 6 Flash Photography The built-in flash or an EOS- dedicated, EX-series S peed lite enables E-TTL II autofla sh (evaluative flash metering with preflash), maki ng flash photography as easy a s normal shooting. The re sult is natura l- looking flash photos.
102 E-TTL II autoflash obtains high-pr ecision and consist ent flash shots. If necessary , the built-in flash will pop-up automatically in low-light or backlit conditions. (except in < 3 > < 5 > < 7 > modes) Regardless of the light level, you can press th e < D > button to pop-up and fire the built-in flash whenever desired.
