It can also adjust focus automatically on either the still or moving subject by detecting the motion of the subject ( ). 1. Set the Mode dial to < 2. Aim the camera at what you will shoot (the subject). >. An AF point may be displayed on the subject, under some shooting conditions.
3. Focus on the subject. Press the shutter button halfway to focus. You can also focus by tapping a person's face or another subject on the screen (Touch AF) when [ : Continuous AF] is set to [Disable]. Under low light, the AF-assist beam ( needed. ) is automatically activated if For stationary subjects, the AF point is displayed in green when the subject is in focus, and the camera beeps. (One-Shot AF) For moving subjects, the AF point is displayed in blue and tracks subject movement.
Note AF operation (One-Shot AF or Servo AF) is set automatically when you press the shutter button halfway. Note that AF operation cannot be switched during shooting. The < > mode makes the colors look more impressive in nature, outdoor, and sunset scenes. If you prefer other color tones, set the shooting mode to < >, < >, < >, < >, or < > ( ) and select a Picture Style other than [ ] before shooting ( ).
Minimizing blurred photos Use a sturdy tripod that can bear the weight of the shooting equipment. Mount the camera securely on the tripod. Using a remote switch (sold separately, ) or a wireless remote control (sold separately, ) is recommended. FAQ Focusing is not possible (indicated by an orange AF point). Aim the AF point over an area with good contrast, then press the shutter button halfway ( ). If you are too close to the subject, move away and shoot again.
A+: Fully Automatic Techniques (Scene Intelligent Auto) Recomposing the Shot Shooting Moving Subjects Scene Icons Recomposing the Shot Depending on the scene, positioning the subject toward the left or right to include a balanced background will result in a picture with better perspective. Pressing the shutter button halfway to focus on a still subject will lock the focus on that subject.
Shooting Moving Subjects After you press the shutter button halfway and a blue AF point appears, the camera detects subject movement and focuses using Servo AF. Keep the subject on the screen as you hold down the shutter button halfway, and at the decisive moment, press the shutter button completely.

The shutter speed and aperture value are set automatically. 3. Check the display.
Caution If the “30"” shutter speed and the lowest aperture value blink, it indicates underexposure. Increase the ISO speed or use flash. If the “1/8000” shutter speed and the highest aperture value blink, it indicates overexposure. Lower the ISO speed or use an ND filter (sold separately) to reduce the amount of light entering the lens. Note Differences between < > and < > modes In < > mode, many functions, such as the AF method and metering mode, are set automatically to prevent spoiled shots.
Tv: Shutter-Priority AE In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture value to obtain the standard exposure matching the brightness of the subject. 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 speed: 1/30 sec.) Frozen motion (Fast speed: 1/2000 sec.) 1. Set the Mode dial to < 2.
3. Focus on the subject. Press the shutter button halfway. The aperture value is set automatically. 4. Check the display and shoot. As long as the aperture value is not blinking, the standard exposure will be obtained. Caution If the lowest aperture value blinks, it indicates underexposure. Turn the < > dial to set a slower shutter speed until the aperture value stops blinking or set a higher ISO speed. If the highest aperture value blinks, it indicates overexposure.
Av: Aperture-Priority AE Depth-of-Field Preview In this mode, you set the desired aperture value and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to obtain the standard exposure matching the subject brightness. 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.
3. Focus on the subject. Press the shutter button halfway. The shutter speed is set automatically. 4. Check the display and shoot. As long as the shutter speed is not blinking, the standard exposure will be obtained. Caution If the “30"” shutter speed blinks, it indicates underexposure.

Select [ 2. Set the effect level. : Clarity]. Caution Setting clarity may darken or lighten the areas around boundaries in high-contrast images. The effect of this setting is not shown in images on the screen in still photo shooting.
Lens Aberration Correction Peripheral Illumination Correction Distortion Correction Digital Lens Optimizer Chromatic Aberration Correction Diffraction Correction Vignetting, image distortion, and other issues may be caused by lens optical characteristics. The camera can compensate for these phenomena by using [Lens aberration correction]. 1. Select [ 2. Select an option. : Lens aberration correction].
3. Select a setting. Confirm that the name of the attached lens and (except for diffraction correction) [Correction data available] are displayed. If [Correction data not available] or [ Optimizer. ] is displayed, see Digital Lens Caution Not available when shooting multiple exposures. Peripheral Illumination Correction Vignetting (dark image corners) can be corrected. Caution Depending on shooting conditions, noise may appear on the image periphery.
Distortion Correction Distortion (image warping) can be corrected. Caution To correct distortion, the camera captures a narrower image area than the area seen in viewfinder shooting, which crops the image a little and slightly lowers the apparent resolution. Applying distortion correction may change the angle of view slightly. The amount of image cropped may vary between still photos and movies. Note With RF lenses, distortion correction during movie recording is supported.
Digital Lens Optimizer Various aberrations from lens optical characteristics can be corrected, along with diffraction and low-pass filter-induced loss of resolution. If [Correction data not available] or [ ] is displayed by [Digital Lens Optimizer], you can use EOS Utility to add the lens correction data to the camera. For details, refer to the EOS Utility Instruction Manual. Caution Image processing after you shoot takes longer when set to [High] (which causes the access lamp to be illuminated longer).
Chromatic Aberration Correction Chromatic aberration (color fringing around subjects) can be corrected. Note [Chromatic aberr corr] is not displayed when [Digital Lens Optimizer] is set to [Standard] or [High].
Diffraction Correction Diffraction (loss of sharpness caused by the aperture) can be corrected. Caution Depending on shooting conditions, noise may be intensified together with the effects of correction. The higher the ISO speed, the lower the amount of correction will be. For movie recording, [Diffraction correction] will not appear. (Correction is not possible.) Note “Diffraction correction” corrects degraded resolution not only from diffraction but also from the low-pass filter and other factors.
Note General notes for lens aberration correction Effects of lens aberration correction vary by lens and shooting conditions. Also, the effect may be difficult to discern depending on the lens used, shooting conditions, etc. If the correction is difficult to discern, magnifying and checking the image after shooting is recommended. Corrections are applied even when an extender or life-size converter is attached.
Long Exposure Noise Reduction Noise that tends to occur in long exposures at shutter speeds of one sec. or slower can be reduced. 1. Select [ 2. Set a reduction option. : Long exp. noise reduction]. Auto For images exposed for 1 sec. or longer, noise reduction is performed automatically if noise typical of long exposures is detected. This setting is effective enough in most cases. Enable Noise reduction is performed for all images exposed for 1 sec. or longer.
Caution With [Auto] or [Enable] set, noise reduction after you shoot may take as long as exposure for the shot. Images may look grainier with the [Enable] setting than with the [Disable] or [Auto] setting. [BUSY] is displayed as noise is reduced, and the shooting screen is not displayed until processing is finished, when you can shoot again.
High ISO Speed Noise Reduction You can reduce the image noise generated. This function is especially effective when shooting 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 [ 2. Set the level. : High ISO speed NR]. Low, Standard, High The camera applies an amount of noise reduction corresponding to your specified level.
Caution Precautions on Multi Shot Noise Reduction If there is significant misalignment in the image due to camera shake, the noise reduction effect may become smaller. Be careful about camera shake in handheld shots. Using a tripod is recommended. If you shoot a moving subject, the moving subject may leave afterimages. Auto image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice, stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.
Dust Delete Data Acquisition Preparation Dust Delete Data Appending Dust Delete Data used to erase dust spots can be appended to images in case sensor cleaning leaves dust on the sensor. The Dust Delete Data is used by Digital Photo Professional (EOS software) to erase the dust spots automatically. Preparation Use an RF or EF lens. Prepare a solid white object such as a sheet of paper. Set the lens focal length to 50 mm or longer. Set the lens's focus mode switch to < > and set the focus to infinity (∞).
2. Select [OK]. After the automatic self-cleaning of the sensor is performed, a message will appear. Although there will be a mechanical sound of the shutter during the cleaning, no picture is taken.
3. Shoot a plain white object. Shoot with a plain white object (such as a new sheet of white paper) filling the screen, at a distance of 20–30 cm (0.7–1.0 ft.). Since the image will not be saved, the data can still be obtained even if there is no card in the camera. When the picture is taken, the camera will start collecting the Dust Delete Data. When the Dust Delete Data is obtained, a message will appear. If the data is not obtained successfully, an error message will appear.
Dust Delete Data Appending The camera will append the Dust Delete Data obtained to all shots from now on. Acquiring Dust Delete Data before shooting is recommended. For details about using Digital Photo Professional (EOS software) to erase dust spots automatically, refer to the Digital Photo Professional Instruction Manual. File size is essentially unaffected by Dust Delete Data appended to images.

6. Specify the images to save. To save the three images captured and the resulting HDR image, select [All images]. To save only the HDR image, select [HDR img only]. 7. Take the picture. When you press the shutter button completely, three consecutive images will be captured, and the HDR image will be recorded to the card.
Caution RAW HDR images are captured in JPEG image quality. RAW+JPEG HDR images are captured in the specified JPEG image quality. Expanded ISO speeds (L, H) are not available in HDR shooting. HDR shooting is possible within ISO 100–102400 (varies depending on the settings of [Minimum] and [Maximum] for [ISO speed range]). The flash will not fire during HDR shooting. AEB is not available. If you shoot a moving subject, the moving subject may leave afterimages.
Effects [ ] Natural For images preserving a wide tonal range where the highlight and shadow details would otherwise be lost. Clipped highlights and shadows will be reduced. [ ] Art standard While the clipped highlights and shadows will be reduced more than with [Natural], the contrast will be lower, and the gradation flatter to have the picture look like a painting. The subject outlines will have bright (or dark) edges.
Focus Bracketing Focus bracketing enables continuous shooting with the focal distance changed automatically after a single shot. From these images, you can create a single image in focus over a wide area by using an application that supports depth compositing, such as Digital Photo Professional (EOS software). 1. Select [ 2. Set [Focus bracketing]. : Focus bracketing]. Select [Enable].
3. Set [Number of shots]. Specify the number of images captured per shot. Can be set in a range of [2]–[999]. 4. Set [Focus increment]. Specify how much to shift the focus. This amount is automatically adjusted to suit the aperture value at the time of shooting. Larger aperture values increase the focus shift and make focus bracketing cover a wider range under the same focus increment and number of shots. After completing the settings, press < 227 >.
5. Set [Exposure smoothing]. You can suppress changes in image brightness during focus bracketing by setting [Exposure smoothing] to [Enable], which compensates for differences between the displayed and actual aperture value (effective f/number), which varies by focal position. 6. Take the picture. To save your shots in a new folder, tap [ ] and select [OK]. Focus at the nearer end of your preferred focal range, then press the shutter button completely.
Caution Focus bracketing is intended for still photo shooting on a tripod. Shooting with a wider angle of view is recommended. After depth compositing, you can crop the image if necessary.

General Still Photo Shooting Information Display General Still Photo Shooting Precautions Information Display For details on the icons displayed for still photo shooting, see Information Display. Note White display of the [ ] icon indicates that your shots will be about as bright as the image displayed. If the [ ] icon is blinking, it indicates that the image is displayed at a brightness that differs from the actual shooting result because of low- or bright-light conditions.
General Still Photo Shooting Precautions Caution 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. 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.
Images and display Under low- or bright-light conditions, the displayed image may not reflect the brightness of the captured image. Although noise may be noticeable in images under low light (even at low ISO speeds), there will be less noise in your shots, due to differences in image quality between displayed and captured images. The screen may flicker if the light source (lighting) changes. In this case, stop shooting temporarily and resume under the light source you will use.

Case Details Cases 1 to A are five combinations of settings for “Tracking sensitivity” and “Accel./decel. tracking.” Referring to the following table, select the case for your subject and shooting situation.
Case 1: Versatile Multi-Purpose Setting Default • Tracking sensitivity: 0 • Accel./decel. tracking: 0 Standard setting suited to moving subjects in general. Suitable for many kinds of subjects and scenes. In the following situations, select [Case 2] to [Case 4] instead: non-subjects moving across AF points, elusive subjects, or subjects that suddenly appear or change speed.
Case 2: Continue to Track Subjects, Ignoring Possible Obstacles Default • Tracking sensitivity: Locked on: –1 • Accel./decel. tracking: 0 Setting to continue focusing on the subject even if non-subjects move across AF points, or if the subject strays from AF points. Effective if you prefer the focus not to switch to nonsubjects or the background.
Case 3: Instantly Focus on Subjects Suddenly Entering AF Points Default • Tracking sensitivity: Responsive: +1 • Accel./decel. tracking: +1 Setting to focus on a series of subjects at different distances in the AF points, one after another. Focus switches to any new subject that appears in front of the target subject. Also effective when you want to always focus on the closest subject.
Case 4: For Subjects That Accelerate or Decelerate Quickly Default • Tracking sensitivity: Responsive: 0 • Accel./decel. tracking: +1 Setting to keep tracking and focusing on subjects even if they suddenly change speed. Effective for subjects having sudden movements, sudden acceleration/deceleration, or sudden stops. Note Try setting [Accel./decel. tracking] to [+2] to keep up with subjects that change speed significantly from moment to moment ( ).
Case A: Tracking Automatically Adapts to Subject Movement Useful when you prefer to shoot with parameters set automatically, based on how subjects change. Tracking sensitivity and acceleration/deceleration tracking are set automatically.
Parameters Tracking sensitivity Setting for Servo AF subject-tracking sensitivity in response to non-subjects moving across AF points or subjects straying from AF points. 0 Standard setting. Suitable for moving subjects in general. Locked on: –2 / Locked on: –1 The camera will try to continue focusing on the subject even if non-subjects move across AF points or if the subject strays from the AF points. The –2 setting makes the camera keep tracking the target subject longer than the –1 setting.
Accel./decel. tracking Setting for AI Servo AF/Servo AF subject-tracking sensitivity in response to sudden, significant changes in speed, as when subjects suddenly start or stop moving. 0 Suited for subjects that move at a steady speed (minor changes in moving speed). –2 / –1 Suited for subjects that move at a steady speed (minor changes in moving speed).
