I • The further the distance between the subject and background, the better. The further the distance between the subject and background, the more blurred the background will look. The subject will also stand out better in front of a plain, dark background. • Use a telephoto lens.
~ Shooting landscapes Use the < t& > (Landscape) mode for wide scenery, night scenes, and to have everything in focus from near to far. The greens and blues also become more vivid and sharp than with < 0 > (Full Auto). • With a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end. When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end. This will have objects near and far in focus, better than at the telephoto end. It also adds breadth to landscapes. • Shooting night scenes.
~ Shooting Close-ups When you want to photograph flowers or small things up close, use the < ~ > (Close-up) mode. To make small things appear much larger, use a macro lens (sold separately). I G I) Use a simple background. A simple background makes the flower, etc., stand out better. Move to the subject as close as possible. Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. Some lenses have indications such as < ~ O.28m/O.9ft>.
~ Shooting Moving Subjects To photograph a moving subject whether it be a child running or an auto race, use the <~ > (Sports) mode. • Use a telephoto lens. Using a telephoto lens is recommended so you can shoot from afar. @) Use the center AF point to focus. Aim the center AF point over the subject, then press the shutter button halfway to auto focus. During autofocusing, the beeper will continue beeping softly. If focus cannot be achieved, the focus confirmation light > will blink.
~ Shooting Portraits. at Night To shoot someone at night and obtain a natural-looking exposure in the background, use the < ~ > (Night Portrait) mode. I @ Use a wide-angle lens and a tripod. If you use a zoom lens, set it to the wide-angle end to obtain a wide night view. Use a tripod to prevent camera shake. dJ Keep the person within 5 meters/16.4 feet from the camera. Under low light, the built-in flash will fire automatically to obtain'a good exposure of the person.
• If the numeric display in the viewfinder blinks, take care to prevent camera shake. Under low light when camera shake is prone to occur, the viewfinder's shutter speed display will blink. Hold the camera steady or use a tripod. If you have a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to reduce blur due to camera shake. •. Taking portraits without flash. Under low light, the person must not move until the picture is taken. If the person moves during the exposure, he or she might look blurred in the picture. 54.

Troubleshooting Guide ~ When using Live View shooting, use a CF card (a hard disk-type CF card such as MicroDrive is not recommended). A hard disk-type CF card requires a lower temperature range for operation than with normal CF 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, the Live View shooting will be able to resume. (p.

Taking too many blurry pictures? Canon IS * Lenses are the solution I
Nice shoH Or is it? When you enlarge your image, the print looks fuzzy. Frustratingl But a common experience. In most cases, this accidental blurring is caused by camera shake - especially when shooting with a telephoto lens or at slow shutter speeds in dark places. Even if you try to stay still, the camera isn't perfectly steady in your hands when the shutter button is pressed. But now there's a great solution: Canon 15* Lenses. For beautifully clear, blur-free photos. With ease.
Day or night, indoors or outdoors.

11 :OOAM / Zoo pictures EF70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM, 1/125sec., Most children love going to the zoo. Here's how to shoot "wild" pictures! Great shot! Can you get it? Photographing animals from afar takes good timing and usually, super-telephoto lens. But don't worry! With a steady-shooting Canon IS Lens, there's no fear of blurry results. Even if you're not using a tripod. Picture problems Blurring is virtually unavoidable when shooting distant subjects with a telephoto lens (unlike a wide-angle lens).
• 11:OOAM / Zoo pictures. Shutter-priorityAE f/16 f/5.0 It's easy to get rid of distracting elements like cage bars - with a little know-howl 1. Simply set your lens to telephoto. 2. Choose the Av mode and hold the aperture as wide open as possible. 3. Approach the cage as close as safely possible and shoot. Now, see how well the shot turns out. The cage bars are gone, and the animals look like they're in the wild.
12:00PM / Kids in motion EF70-300mm f/ 4-56 IS USM, 1/60sec., Your child is swinging, running, playing actively. Now you can capture pure energy in pictures! Kid won't slow down? Panning* technique is tricky, but worth trying. Just set a Canon IS Lens to Mode 2 to correct vertical camera shake while taking pictures.
• 12:00PM / Kids in motion. If you know the optimal setting, panning techniques can get better results. Here's one example (with EF70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM): 1. Turn the IS function on and select IS Mode 2. 2. To improve your success, shoot at around 100-200mm (rather than an extreme 300mm telephoto setting). 3. Select the camera Tv exposure mode and 1/60 sec. shutter speed. Select AI Servo AF as the autofocus mode. 4.
2:00PM / Animal snapshots EF70-300mm f/ 4-5.6 IS USM, Turn a tiny creature into a great picture. Canon IS telephoto zoom makes it easy! You're in the park and a cute chipmunk is posing within rangel You lower your camera and focus on its eyes. All set? No, you're not steady enough. You need a Canon IS Lens to stop camera shake - and even create a softly hazy background. Picture problems Before you blame your camera for poor results, take a good look at your picture-taking posture.
• 2:00PM / Animal snapshots. Here's how to take a charming picture and get an intentionally blurred background (using EF70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM): 1. Set the lens as far as possible to the telephoto side (200-300mm), for the longest focusing distance. 2. Select the Av exposure mode and keep the aperture open. 3. Choose natural elements as a background - flowers, gleams of sunlight on leaves, etc. 4. Get as close to the subject as possible - quietly. 5.
7:00PM / Night shots EF-S 17-85mm II 4-5.6 IS USM Evening enchantment. Canon's standard IS Zoom Lens is ready for brilliant shots! As the sun sets and the dusk grows darker with every passing second, the city lights up with exciting possibilities for glamorous night shots. And you're ready to take dazzling handheld pictures with Canon's standard IS Zoom Lens. Perfect! Picture problems What's the difference between these two night shots? Same low light conditions, same low shutter speed.
• 7:00PM / Night shots. Simplel Just use the convenient AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing) function to generate three different brightness variations for a single shotl 1. Set the camera's drive mode to continuous shooting mode. 2. Set the camera's AEB adjustment to 2/3 in 1/3-step increments. 3 . Turn the IS function of the lens" on. " 4. When you press the shutter button and hold it, three photos with different brightness (exposure levels) are created. 5. Select the one you like best.
8:00PM / Indoor shots It's happy birthday time! Take pictures in low light without spoiling the mood. Low light? No flash? Don't be concerned - be inspired! Canon IS Lenses let you take full advantage of candlelight and other low light conditions to create breathtakingly beautiful indoor pictures in available illumination. On any occasion.
• 8:00PM / Indoor shots. Picture problems Dim light, didn't use flash, camera shake, fuzzy photos... there are so many excuses for lost photo opportunities! But now, you don't have to apologize any more because Canon IS Lenses show outstanding performance in many different kinds of indoor shooting situations. Without a flash! With flash With IS Lens Flash sometimes destroys the mood of a room. Consider using available light instead (with Canon EF-S17-85mm f/4-5.6IS USM): 1.
9:00PM / Sleeping faces EF-S 17-85mm II 4-56 IS USM, 03sec, A child falls asleep. Now, take pictures quietly without waking the sleeper! A child's expression when asleep is especially endearing. Canon IS Lenses are the ideal choice to quietly capture these precious moments. Without distracting flash or blurred images. Without waking a child up and missing that sleeping facet Picture problems Well, you didn't wake the child up by using a flash, but you didn't get the picture either.
• 9:00PM / Sleeping faces. Shooting angles really matter in photo composition, changing the whole nuance of expression. For example, here's how to use the EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM: 1. Choose the Av mode for exposure and keep the aperture fully open. 2 . Turn the IS function of the lens "on." 3. Lower your camera to your child's eye level 4. When aiming at the subject, put your elbow(s) on the table (or somewhere else) to hold the camera steady. 5.
Now you can shoot anywhere, anytime.
.• Great results.
\ IS benefits \ \ \ When does camera shake tend to happen, and what causes it to occur? Perhaps you've encountered blurred images when enlarging pictures: photos that look fine in smaller postcard sizes appear quite fuzzy at greater size. In fact, camera shake happens more frequently than you'd think. There are several reasons for accidental blurring.
• Camera shake. -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~~ How do C:anon IS Lenses repress blurring caused b,{ camera shake? J Canon IS Lenses detect camera shake with a pair of built-in gyro sensors, shifting lens components in Image Stabilizer Parallel Movement Principle 1. Lens When still the direction of the vibration to counteract it and prevent blurringl.
--------------------------------------------------- In-lens image stabilizer design benefits , , , , ,--------- Why is each individual lens optimized for shake correction? Each Canon IS Lens has a unique optical design for specialized performance. So, Canon's optical correction systems and control mechanisms are customized for effective positioning in each lens model. Canon builds these mechanisms into the lenses to ensure that the optical correction system is optimized for each individual lens.
• Camera shake. How does a stable viewfinder image help you take better picture? Looking into the viewfinder while focusing and framing is essential to SLR shooting, so a stable viewfinder ima!~e is crucial. Canon IS Lenses correct for camera shake by shifting certain optical components in inverse relation to the lens movement, maintaining the position of incoming light rays on the film or capturing elements.
\ In-lens image stabilizer design benefits \ Improve your framing accuracyl Blurry viewfinder images lead to framing errors, so you can inadvertently cut off important details, especially when using a telephoto zoom lens. With Canon IS Lenses such framing errors are a thing of the past. Canon's in-lens image stabilizers enable accurate framing when you fill the frame with part of your subject. Since the viewfinder image is blur-free, you can check every detail and make subtle framing adjustments.
• Camera shake. Capture fleeting photo opportunities! Concentrating on your subject is difficult if the viewfinder image is blurred. When you lose concentration, you tend to miss small gestures and other momentary photo occasions. Canon's inlens image stabilizer gives you a clear viewfinder image, so it's easier to notice and capture such photo opportunities.
