With evaluative metering (p.238), the exposure setting will be set at the same time as focus is achieved. While you hold down the shutter button halfway, the focus will be locked.
f: Selecting the AF Operation AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects This AF operation is suited for moving subjects when the focusing distance keeps changing. While you hold down the shutter button halfway, the camera will keep focusing on the subject continuously. The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken. When the AF area selection mode (p.96) is set to Automatic selection AF, focus tracking will continue as long as the Area AF frame covers the subject.
S Selecting the AF Area and AF Point The camera has 61 AF points for autofocusing. You can select the AF area selection mode and AF point(s) suiting the scene or subject. Depending on the lens attached to the camera, the number of usable AF points, AF point patterns, Area AF frame, etc. will differ. For details, see “Lenses and Usable AF Points” on page 102. AF Area Selection Mode You can select one of seven AF area selection modes. For the selection procedure, see page 93.
S Selecting the AF Area and AF Point AF point expansion (Manual selection, surrounding points) The manually-selected AF point and the surrounding AF points are used to focus. Zone AF (Manual selection of zone) One of nine focusing zones is used to focus. Large Zone AF (Manual Zone Selection) One of three focusing zones (left, center, and right) is used to focus. Automatic selection AF The Area AF frame (entire AF area) is used to focus.

AF Area Selection Modes Single-point Spot AF (Manual selection) For pinpoint focusing over a narrower area than with single-point AF. Select one AF point to focus. Effective for pinpoint focusing or focusing on overlapping subjects such as an animal in a cage. Since Single-point Spot AF covers a very small area, focusing may be difficult during hand-held shooting or for a moving subject. Single-point AF (Manual selection) Select one AF point to be used for focusing.
AF Area Selection Modes AF point expansion (Manual selection, surrounding points) The manually-selected AF point and surrounding AF points are used to focus. Focusing is performed over a wider area than with AF point expansion (manual selection ). Effective when it is difficult to track a moving subject with just one AF point. AI Servo AF and One-Shot AF work in the same way as with AF point expansion (manual selection ) mode (p.96).
AF Area Selection Modes Large Zone AF (Manual Zone Selection) The AF area is divided into three focusing zones (left, center, and right) for focusing. Since the focusing area is larger than with Zone AF and all the AF points in the selected zone are used for the automatic AF point selection, it is superior to single-point AF and AF point expansion in tracking the subject, and it is effective for moving subjects.
AF Area Selection Modes When AI Servo AF mode is set for Automatic selection AF, Large Zone AF, or Zone AF, the active AF point will keep switching to track the subject. However, under certain shooting conditions (such as when the subject is small), it may not be able to track the subject. With Single-point Spot AF, focusing with an EOS-dedicated, external Speedlite’s AF-assist beam may be difficult.
AF Sensor The camera’s AF sensor has 61 AF points. The illustration below shows the AF sensor pattern corresponding to each AF point. When using lenses with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 or faster, high-precision AF is possible at the viewfinder center. Depending on the lens attached to the camera, the number of usable AF points, AF point patterns, the shape of Area AF frame, etc. vary. For details, see “Lenses and Usable AF Points” on page 102.
AF Sensor These focusing sensors are geared to obtain higher precision focusing for lenses with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 or faster. A diagonal cross pattern makes it easier to focus subjects that may be difficult to focus. They cover the five AF points vertically aligned at the center. These focusing sensors are geared to obtain high-precision focusing for lenses with a maximum aperture of f/4 or faster. Since they have a horizontal pattern, they can detect vertical lines.
Lenses and Usable AF Points Although the camera has 61 AF points, the number of usable AF points, focusing patterns, and Area AF frame configuration vary depending on the lens.

. the color temperature. 3 SetTurn the <6> dial to set the color temperature. The color temperature can be set from approx. 2500 K to 10000 K in 100 K increments.
u White Balance Correction You can correct the white balance that is set. This adjustment will have the same effect as using a commercially-available color temperature conversion filter or color compensating filter. Each color can be corrected to one of nine levels. This function is for advanced users, particularly for those users who understand the use of color temperature conversion and color compensating filters and their effects. White Balance Correction 1 Select [WB Shift/Bkt.].
u White Balance Correction White Balance Auto Bracketing With just one shot, three images with different color tones 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 and magenta/green bias. This function is called white balance bracketing (WB-BKT). White balance bracketing is possible up to ±3 levels in single-level increments. Set the white balance bracketing amount.
u White Balance Correction During white balance bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will be lower. Since three images are recorded for one shot, it takes longer to record the image to the card. You can also set white balance correction and AEB together with white balance bracketing. If you set AEB in combination with white balance bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded for a single shot. When white balance bracketing is set, the white balance icon will blink.
3 Auto Correction of Brightness and Contrast If the image comes out dark or the contrast is low, the brightness and contrast can be corrected automatically. This function is called Auto Lighting Optimizer. The default setting is [Standard]. With JPEG images, the correction is applied when the image is captured. 1 Select [Auto Lighting Optimizer]. Under the [z2] tab, select [Auto Lighting Optimizer], then press <0>. the setting. 2 Select Select the desired setting, then press <0>. picture.
3 Setting Noise Reduction High ISO Speed Noise Reduction This function reduces the noise generated in the image. Although noise reduction is applied at all ISO speeds, it is particularly effective at high ISO speeds. When shooting at low ISO speeds, the noise in the darker parts of the image (shadow areas) can further be reduced. 1 Select [High ISO speed NR]. Under the [z2] tab, select [High ISO speed NR], then press <0>. the level. 2 SetSelect the desired noise reduction level, then press <0>. picture.
3 Setting Noise Reduction Long Exposure Noise Reduction For images exposed for 1 sec. or longer, noise (dots of light and banding) typical of long exposures can be reduced. 1 Select [Long exp. noise reduction]. Under the [z2] tab, select [Long exp. noise reduction], then press <0>. the desired setting. 2 SetSelect the desired setting, then press <0>. Auto For exposures of 1 sec. or longer, noise reduction is performed automatically if noise typical of long exposures is detected.
3 Setting Noise Reduction With [Auto] and [Enable], the noise reduction process after the picture is taken may take the same amount of time as that for the exposure. During noise reduction, shooting is still possible as long as the maximum burst indicator in the viewfinder shows “1” or higher. Images taken at ISO 1600 or higher may look grainier with the [Enable] setting than with the [Disable] or [Auto] setting.
3 Highlight Tone Priority You can reduce overexposed, clipped highlights. 1 Select [Highlight tone priority]. Under the [z2] tab, select [Highlight tone priority], then press <0>. [Enable]. 2 Select Highlight details are improved. The dynamic range is expanded from the standard 18% gray to bright highlights. The gradation between the grays and highlights becomes smoother. picture. 3 TakeThetheimage will be recorded with highlight tone priority applied. When [Enable] is set, noise may increase slightly.
3 Correction of Lens Aberrations Peripheral light fall-off is a phenomenon that makes the image corners look darker due to the lens characteristics. Color fringing along subject outlines is called chromatic aberration. Image distortion due to lens characteristics is called distortion. And decreased image sharpness due to the aperture is called diffraction phenomenon. These lens aberrations can be corrected.
3 Correction of Lens Aberrations Depending on shooting conditions, noise may appear on the image periphery. The correction amount applied will be lower than the maximum correction amount that can be applied with Digital Photo Professional (EOS software, p.552). The higher the ISO speed, the lower the correction amount will be. Chromatic Aberration Correction 1 Select [Chromatic aberr corr]. [Enable]. 2 Select Check that [Correction data available] is displayed for the attached lens.
3 Correction of Lens Aberrations When distortion correction is enabled, the camera records an image range narrower than the one seen through the viewfinder. (The image periphery is slightly trimmed and the resolution looks slightly lowered.) When [Distortion correction] is set to [Enable], the maximum burst (p.161) during continuous shooting will decrease. During movie shooting, [Distortion correction] will not be displayed (correction is not possible).
3 Correction of Lens Aberrations Lens Correction Data The lens correction data for lens aberration corrections is registered (stored) in the camera. With [Enable] selected, the peripheral illumination, chromatic aberration, distortion, and diffraction will be corrected automatically. With EOS Utility (EOS software, p.552), you can check which lenses have their correction data registered in the camera. You can also register the correction data for unregistered lenses.
3 Reducing Flicker If you shoot an image with a fast shutter speed under a light source such as fluorescent light, the blinking of the light source causes flicker and the image may be vertically unevenly exposed. If continuous shooting is used under these conditions, uneven exposures or colors across the images may result.
3 Reducing Flicker If the subject is against a dark background or if there is a bright light in the image, flicker may not be properly detected. Under certain special types of lighting, the camera may not be able to reduce the effects of the flicker even when is displayed. Depending on the light source, flicker may not be detected properly. If you recompose a shot, may appear and disappear intermittently.
3 Setting the Color Space The range of reproducible colors is called “color space”. With this camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or Adobe RGB. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended. 1 Select [Color space]. Under the [z1] tab, select [Color space], then press <0>. the desired color space. 2 SetSelect [sRGB] or [Adobe RGB], then press <0>.

GPS Features Viewing Images and Information on a Virtual Map With Map Utility (EOS software, p.552), you can view the shooting locations and the route traveled on a map displayed on a computer.
GPS Precautions Countries and Regions Permitting GPS Function Use Use of GPS function is restricted in some countries and regions, and illegal use may be punishable under national or local regulations. To avoid violating GPS function regulations, visit the Canon Web site to check where the use is allowed. Note that Canon cannot be held liable for any problems arising from GPS function use in other countries and regions.
Acquiring GPS Signals To acquire GPS signals, take the camera outside where the sky is unobstructed. Face the top of the camera toward the sky while keeping your hands, etc., away from the camera top. When the signal acquisition conditions are good, it will take the camera approx. 30 sec. to 60 sec. to acquire the GPS satellite signals after you set [GPS] to [Mode 1] or [Mode 2]. Check that [r] is displayed on the rear LCD panel, then shoot. 1 Select [GPS settings].
Acquiring GPS Signals GPS Acquisition Status The GPS acquisition status is indicated by the [r] icon displayed on the camera’s rear LCD panel. Constant r: Signal acquired Blinking r: Signal not acquired yet When you shoot while [r] is constantly displayed, the image will be geotagged. When [Mode 1] is set, the camera will continue to receive GPS signals at regular intervals even when the power switch is set to <2>. Therefore, the battery will drain faster and fewer shots can be taken.
Acquiring GPS Signals Poor GPS Coverage Under the following conditions, the GPS satellite signal will not be properly acquired. As a result, the geotag information may not be recorded or inaccurate geotag information may be recorded. Indoors, underground, in tunnels or forests, between buildings, or in valleys. Near high-voltage power lines or mobile phones operating on the 1.5 GHz band. When the camera is left inside a bag, etc. When traveling a long distance.

5 Exposure Control for Photographic Expressions You can change various settings of the camera as you desire to obtain a wide variety of shooting results, by selecting the shutter speed and/or aperture, adjusting the exposure as you prefer, etc. After you press the shutter button halfway and let go, the exposure settings will remain displayed in the viewfinder and on the top LCD panel for approx. 6 sec. (9). For the functions settable in each shooting mode, see page 486. Set the power switch to <1>.
d: Program AE The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture to suit the subject’s brightness. This is called Program AE. * stands for Program. * AE stands for Auto Exposure. 1 Set the shooting mode to . Press the button and turn the <6> or <5> dial to select . on the subject. 2 Focus Look through the viewfinder and aim the AF point over the subject. Then press the shutter button halfway.
d: Program AE If the “30"” shutter speed and the lowest f/ number blink, it indicates underexposure. Increase the ISO speed or use flash. If the “8000” shutter speed and the highest f/ number blink, it indicates overexposure. Lower the ISO speed or use an ND filter (sold separately) to reduce the amount of light entering the lens.
d: Program AE FAQ The focus indicator blinks and focus is not achieved. Aim the Area AF frame over an area having good contrast, then press the shutter button halfway (p.62). If you are too close to the subject, move away and shoot again. Multiple AF points light up simultaneously. Focus has been achieved at all those points. You can take the picture as long as an AF point covering the target subject is lighting up. The focus indicator does not light up.
s: Shutter-Priority AE In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture to obtain the standard exposure matching the brightness of the subject. This is called shutter-priority AE. A faster shutter speed can freeze the action of a moving subject. A slower shutter speed can create a blurred effect, giving the impression of motion. * stands for Time value. Blurred motion (Slow shutter speed: 1/30 sec.) 1 Frozen motion (Fast shutter speed: 1/2000 sec.
s: Shutter-Priority AE If the lowest f/number blinks, it indicates underexposure. Turn the <6> dial to set a slower shutter speed until the aperture stops blinking or set a higher ISO speed. If the highest f/number blinks, it indicates overexposure. Turn the <6> dial to set a faster shutter speed until the aperture stops blinking or set a lower ISO speed. Shutter Speed Display The shutter speeds from “8000” to “4” indicate the denominator of the fractional shutter speed.
f: Aperture-Priority AE In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to obtain the standard exposure matching 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. On the other hand, a lower f/number (larger aperture hole) will make less of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus.
f: Aperture-Priority AE If the “30"” shutter speed blinks, it indicates underexposure. Turn the <6> dial to set a faster aperture (lower f/number) until the shutter speed blinking stops or set a higher ISO speed. If the “8000” shutter speed blinks, it indicates overexposure. Turn the <6> dial to set a slower aperture (higher f/number) until the shutter speed blinking stops or set a lower ISO speed. Aperture Value Display The higher the f/number, the smaller the aperture opening will be.
f: Aperture-Priority AE Depth-of-Field Preview The aperture opening (diaphragm) changes only at the moment when the picture is taken. Otherwise, the aperture remains fully open. Therefore, when you look at the scene through the viewfinder or on the LCD monitor, the depth of field will look narrow. Press the depth-of-field preview button to stop down the lens to the current aperture setting and check the depth of field (range of acceptable focus).
a: Manual Exposure In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture as desired. To determine the exposure, refer to the exposure level indicator in the viewfinder or use a commercially-available exposure meter. This method is called manual exposure. * stands for Manual. 1 Shutter speed Aperture Set the shooting mode to . Press the button and turn the <6> or <5> dial to select . 2 Set the ISO speed (p.163). the shutter speed and 3 Set aperture.

Under the [z3] tab, select [Mirror lockup], then press <0>. the desired setting.
2 Mirror Lockup Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or the camera’s internal components. In very bright light, such as at the beach or a ski slope on a sunny day, take the picture promptly after mirror lockup is stabilized. During mirror lockup, shooting function settings and menu operation are disabled.
Using the Eyepiece Shutter When you take a picture without looking through the viewfinder, such as when you use the self-timer, bulb exposure, or a remote switch, stray light entering the viewfinder can cause the picture to look dark (underexposed). To prevent this, slide the eyepiece shutter lever as shown by the arrow to cover the viewfinder eyepiece. You do not need to cover the viewfinder eyepiece during Live View shooting or movie shooting.
6 Flash Photography This chapter explains how to shoot with external EXseries Speedlites (sold separately) and how to set Speedlite settings on the camera’s menu screen.
D Flash Photography EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlites Using an EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) makes flash photography easy. For detailed instructions, refer to the EX-series Speedlite’s Instruction Manual. This camera is a Type-A camera that can use all the features of EX-series Speedlites. To set the flash functions and flash Custom Functions on the camera’s menu screen, see pages 263-269.
D Flash Photography Canon Speedlites Other Than the EX-series With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set to A-TTL or TTL autoflash mode, the flash can be fired at full output only. Set the camera’s shooting mode to manual exposure or aperture-priority AE and adjust the aperture setting before shooting. When using a Speedlite that has manual flash mode, shoot in the manual flash mode. Non-Canon Flash Units Sync Speed The camera can synchronize with non-Canon compact flash units at 1/250 sec.
D Flash Photography If the camera is used with a flash unit or flash accessory dedicated to another camera brand, the camera may not operate properly and malfunction may result. Do not connect to the camera’s PC terminal any flash unit with an output voltage of 250 V or more. Do not attach a high-voltage flash unit to the camera’s hot shoe. It may not be fired. A flash unit attached to the camera’s hot shoe and a flash unit connected to the PC terminal can both be used at the same time.
3 Setting the Flash Function With an EX-series Speedlite having compatible flash function settings, you can use the camera’s menu screen to set the Speedlite’s functions and Custom Functions. Attach the Speedlite to the camera and turn on the Speedlite before setting the flash functions. For details on the Speedlite’s functions, refer to the Speedlite’s Instruction Manual. 1 Select [External Speedlite control]. Under the [z3] tab, select [External Speedlite control], then press <0>.

For details on wireless flash, refer to the Instruction Manual of a Speedlite compatible with wireless flash shooting. With a macro flash (MR-14EX II, etc.) compatible with flash function settings, you can set the flash ratio between flash tubes or flash heads A and B, or use wireless flash with additional slave units.
3 Setting the Flash Function Shutter synchronization Normally, set this to [First-curtain synchronization] so that the flash fires immediately after the exposure starts. If [Second-curtain synchronization] is set, the flash will be fired right before the shutter closes. When this is combined with a slow shutter speed, you can create a trail of light such as from car headlights at night with a more natural feel.
3 Setting the Flash Function When using second-curtain synchronization, set the shutter speed to 1/25 sec. or slower. If the shutter speed is 1/30 sec. or faster, first-curtain synchronization will be applied automatically even if [Second-curtain synchronization] is set. With an EX-series Speedlite not compatible with flash function settings, you can only set the following: [Flash firing], [E-TTL II meter.], and [Flash exposure compensation] under [Flash function settings].

General Live View Shooting Cautions Image Quality When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (such as dots of light and banding) may become noticeable. Shooting in high temperatures may cause noise and irregular colors in the image. If Live View shooting is used continuously for a prolonged period, the camera’s internal temperature may rise, and image quality may deteriorate. Always exit Live View shooting when you are not shooting.
General Live View Shooting Cautions Live View Image Under low- or bright-light conditions, the Live View image may not reflect the brightness of the captured image. Even if a low ISO speed is set, noise may be noticeable in the displayed Live View image under low light. However, when you shoot, the image recorded will have less noise. (The image quality of the Live View image is different from that of the recorded image.) If the light source (illumination) within the image changes, the screen may flicker.

Troubleshooting Guide If a problem occurs with the camera, first consult 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 does not recharge. Provided Battery Charger LC-E19 can only charge the provided Battery Pack LP-E19 and genuine Battery Pack LP-E4N/LP-E4. Battery Charger LC-E4N/LC-E4 cannot charge the provided Battery Pack LP-E19. The charger’s lamp blinks.
Troubleshooting Guide All three charge lamps of the charger blink. The charger cannot charge batteries other than the provided LP-E19 and LP-E4N/LP-E4. The three charge lamps and lamp will blink in green. While charging a battery, if the three charge lamps blink in green consecutively or if they blink consecutively in green with the lamp blinking in green, remove the battery from the charger. Contact your dealer or nearest Canon Service Center.
Troubleshooting Guide The battery becomes exhausted quickly. Use a fully-charged battery (p.42). The battery performance may have degraded. See [53: Battery info.] to check the battery’s recharge performance level (p.482). If the battery performance is poor, replace the battery with a new one. The number of possible shots will decrease with any of the following operations: • Pressing the shutter button halfway for a prolonged period. • Activating the AF frequently without taking a picture.
Troubleshooting Guide Shooting-Related Problems The lens cannot be attached. The camera cannot be used with EF-S or EF-M lenses (p.59). The viewfinder is dark. Install a recharged battery in the camera (p.42). No images can be shot or recorded. Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.49). If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to make space (p.49, 386).
Troubleshooting Guide I have to press the shutter button twice completely to take a picture. Set [z3: Mirror lockup] to [Disable]. The image is out of focus or blurred. Set the lens’s focus mode switch to (p.59). Press the shutter button gently to prevent camera shake (p.61, 62). If the lens has an Image Stabilizer, set the IS switch to <1>. In low light, the shutter speed may become slow. Use a faster shutter speed (p.231), set a higher ISO speed (p.163), use flash (p.260), or use a tripod.
Troubleshooting Guide The AF point is blinking or two AF points are displayed. Regarding the AF points lighting up or blinking when you press the button, see page 95. The AF point at the registered area is blinking (p.95, 448). The manually-selected AF point (or zone) and the registered AF point are displayed (p.94, 448). I cannot lock the focus and recompose the shot. Set the AF operation to One-Shot AF (p.88). Note that focus lock will not work in the AI Servo AF mode (p.89).
Troubleshooting Guide Even after I change the card, the maximum burst displayed for continuous shooting does not change. The maximum burst displayed in the viewfinder does not change when you change the card, even if it is a high-speed card. The maximum burst shown in the table on page 158 is based on Canon’s testing card. (The faster the card’s writing speed, the higher the actual maximum burst will be.) Therefore, the maximum burst displayed in the viewfinder may differ from the actual maximum burst.
Troubleshooting Guide The spot metering circle is not displayed. If [85: Focusing screen] is set to [Ec-A, B, L] (p.433), the spot metering circle will not be displayed at the viewfinder center. The shot image is not displayed during multiple-exposure shooting. If [On:ContShtng] is set, image review immediately after image capture or image playback is not possible during shooting (p.248). The multiple-exposure image is shot in 1 quality.
Troubleshooting Guide The flash always fires at full output. If you use a flash unit other than an EX-series Speedlite, the flash will always be fired at full output (p.261). When the flash Custom Function setting for [Flash metering mode] is set to [TTL flash metering] (autoflash), the flash will always be fired at full output (p.268). Flash exposure compensation cannot be set. If flash exposure compensation is already set with the Speedlite, flash exposure compensation cannot be set with the camera.
Troubleshooting Guide During movie shooting, the red E icon is displayed. It indicates that the camera’s internal temperature is high. If the red icon is displayed, it indicates that the movie shooting will soon stop automatically (p.341). Movie shooting stops by itself. If the card’s writing speed is slow, movie shooting may stop automatically. For cards that can record movies, see page 316. To find out the card’s writing speed, refer to the card manufacturer’s Web site.
Troubleshooting Guide The manually set ISO speed changes when switching to movie shooting. ISO speed will be set according to the setting of [Range for stills] for [z2:ISO speed settings] (p.166) during viewfinder shooting and Live View shooting, or the setting of [Range for movies] and [Range for H] (p.330) during movie shooting. The exposure changes during movie shooting. If you change the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting, the changes in the exposure may be recorded.
Troubleshooting Guide The time code is not appended. For High Frame Rate movie shooting, if [Free run] is set for [Count up] under [z5: Time code] (p.326), the time code will not be appended. Also, if there is HDMI output, the time code will not be appended to the HDMI video output (p.328). The time code’s count is faster. For High Frame Rate movie shooting, it will count up by 4 sec. for every sec. in real time (p.318). I cannot take still photos during movie shooting.
Troubleshooting Guide Operation Problems I cannot change the setting with the <6>, <5>, or <9>. Set the power switch to <1> (p.53). Check the [86: Multi function lock] setting (p.437). Vertical-grip controls like the <6> and <9> do not work. Set the vertical-grip operation switch to <1> (p.67). Touchscreen operation is not possible. Touchscreen operation cannot be performed on the menu screen and image playback screen.
Troubleshooting Guide The fourth character in the file name changes. [51: File name] is set to [*** + image size]. Select the camera’s unique file name (preset code) or the file name registered under User setting 1 (p.203). The file numbering does not start from 0001. If the card already contains recorded images, the image file number may not start from 0001 (p.206). The shooting date and time displayed is incorrect. Make sure the correct date and time are set (p.55).
Troubleshooting Guide Playback Problems Part of the image blinks in black. [33: Highlight alert] is set to [Enable] (p.350). A red box is displayed on the image. [33: AF point disp.] is set to [Enable] (p.351). During image playback, the AF points are not displayed. When you play back an image applied with distortion correction (p.195), the AF points are not displayed. The image cannot be erased. If the image is protected, it cannot be erased (p.358). The movie cannot be copied.
Troubleshooting Guide The movie appears to freeze momentarily. If there is a drastic change in the exposure level during autoexposure movie shooting, the recording will stop momentarily until the brightness stabilizes. In such a case, shoot in the mode (p.301). The movie plays in slow motion. Since the High Frame Rate movie will be recorded as a 29.97 fps/ 25.00 fps movie file, it will play back in slow motion at 1/4 speed. No picture on the TV set.
Troubleshooting Guide My card reader does not recognize the card. Depending on your card reader and computer OS, large-capacity CF cards and CFast cards may not be properly recognized. In such a case, connect your camera to the computer with the interface cable, then transfer the images to the computer using EOS Utility (EOS software, p.552). I cannot process the RAW image. 41 and 61 images cannot be processed with the camera. Use Digital Photo Professional (EOS software, p.552) to process those images.
