86 f : Selecting the AF Mode N This AF mode is for moving subjects when the focusing distance keep s changing. While you hold down the shutter button halfway , the subject will be focused continuously . The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.
87 As default setting, the following three AF area selection modes can be selected. See the next page for the selection procedure. Single-point AF (Manual selection) (p.89) Select one AF point to focus. Zone AF (Manual selection of a zone) (p.90) The 19 AF points are divided into five zones for focusing.
88 S Selecting the AF Area N Select the AF area selection mode. Press the < S > button. ( 9 ) Look through the viewfinder and press the < B > button. X Press the < B > button to change the AF area selection mode. By default, the button changes the mode to single-point AF , Zone AF , and 19-point AF .
89 The AF areas are explained starting with the smallest one. Although this is the same as single-point AF , the selected AF point < O > covers a smaller pinpoint area to focus. Effective for pinpoint focusing overlapping subjects such as an animal in a cage.
90 AF Area Selection Modes The 19 AF points are divided into five zones for focusing. All the AF points in the selected zone are used for the automatic selection of the AF point. It makes achieving focus easier than with single-point AF or AF point expansion and it is ef fective for moving subjects.
91 AF Area Selection Modes Under low-light conditions, when you press the shutter button halfway , the built-in flash fires a brief burst of flashes. It illuminates the subject to enable easier autofocusing. With lenses whose maximum aperture is larger than f/5.
92 Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (the focus confirmation light < o > blinks) with certain subjects such as the following: Subjects difficult to focus V ery low-contrast subjects (Example: Blue sky , solid-color walls, etc.
93 Single and continuous drive modes are provided. In the < 1 > (Full Auto) mode, single shooting is set automatically . 1 Press the < o > button. ( 9 ) 2 Select the drive mode.

95 Advanced Operations In the d / s / f / a / F shooting modes, you can select the shutter speed, aperture, and other camera settings to change the exposure and obtain the desired result. The M icon on the right of the page title indicates that the function can be used when the Mode Dial is set to < d / s / f / a / F >.
96 The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture to suit the subject’s brightness. This is called Program AE. * < d > stands for Program. * AE stands for Auto Exposure. 1 Set the Mode Dial to < d >. 2 Focus the subject. Look through the viewfinder and aim the selected AF point over the subject.
97 d : Program AE If the “ 30 "” shutter speed and the maximum aperture blink, it indica tes underexposure. Increase the ISO speed or use flash.
98 In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture to obtain the correct exposure suiting the brightness of the subject. This is called shutter-priority AE. A faster shutter speed can freeze the action or moving subject.
99 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 aperture stops blinking or set a higher ISO speed. If the minimum aperture blinks, it indicates overexposure.
100 In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to obtain the correct exposure suiting the subject brightness. This is called aperture-priority AE. A higher f/ number (smaller aperture hole) will make more of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus.
101 f : Aperture-Priority AE Press the depth-of-field preview button to stop down the lens to the current aperture setting. Y ou can check the depth of field (range of acceptable focus) through the viewfinder . Depth of Field Preview N If the “ 30 "” shutter speed bl inks, it indicates underexposure.
102 In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture as desired. T o determine the exposure, refer to the exposure level indicator in the viewfinder or use a commercially-a vailable handheld exposure meter . This method is called manual exposure.

104 Exposure compensation can increase (brighter) or decrease (darker) the standard exposure set by the camera. Although you can set the exposure co mpensation up to ±5 stops in 1/3- stop increments, the exposure co mpensation indicator on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder can only di splay the setting up to ±3 stops.
105 By changing the shutter speed or aperture automatically , the camera brackets the exposure up to ±3 st ops in 1/3-stop increment s for three successive shots. This is called AEB. * AEB stands for Auto Exposure Bracketing. 1 Select [Expo. comp./AEB].
106 Use AE lock when the ar ea of focus is to be di fferent from the exposure metering area or when you want to take multiple shots at the same exposure setting. Press the < A > button to lock the exposure, then recompose and take the shot. This is called AE lock.
107 When bulb is set, the shutter stays open while you hold down the shutter button completely , and closes when you let go of the shutter button. This is called bulb exposure. Use bulb exposures for night scenes, fireworks, the heavens, and other subjects requiring long exposures.
108 F : Bulb Exposures If you take a picture without looking at the viewfinder , light entering the eyepiece can throw off the exposure. T o prevent this, use the eyepiece cover (p.23) attached to the camera strap. During Live View shooting and movie shooting, attaching t he eyepiece cover is unnecessary .
109 Although using the self-timer or Re mote Switch can prevent camera shake, using mirror lockup to prevent camera vibrations (mirror shock) can also help when you use a super telephoto lens or shoot close ups. When [ 8 C.Fn III -13: Mirror lockup] is set to [1: Enable] (p.
110 With Remote Controller RC-1 or RC-5 (both sold separately), you can shoot remotely up to about 5 meters/16.4 feet from the camera. RC-1 enables you to shoot immediately or after a 2-sec. delay , and RC- 5 has a 2-sec. delay . 1 Focus the subject. 2 Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF>.
