2: Selecting the AF Mode One-Shot AF for Still Subjects Suited for still subjects. When you press the shutter button halfway, the camera will focus only once. AF point Focus confirmation light C When focus is achieved, the AF point that achieved focus will be displayed, and the focus confirmation light in the viewfinder will also light up. With evaluative metering, the exposure setting will be set at the same time focus is achieved.
2: Selecting the AF Mode AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects This AF mode is suited for moving subjects when the focusing distance keeps 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. AF is also possible by pressing the
button.
S Selecting the AF Area 61 AF points are provided for AF. You can select the AF point(s) suiting the scene or subject. Depending on the lens attached to the camera, the number of usable AF points and AF point patterns will differ. For details, see “Lenses and Usable AF Points” on page 77. AF Area Selection Mode You can select one of six AF area selection modes. See the next page for the selection procedure. Single-point Spot AF (Manual selection) For pinpoint focusing.
S Selecting the AF Area 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) The 61 AF points are divided into nine zones for focusing. 61-point automatic selection AF Y P O All the AF points are used to focus. C Select the AF Area Selection Mode Select the AF area selection mode. Press the button. Look through the viewfinder and press the button.

S Selecting the AF Area AF Point Display Indications Pressing the button lights up the AF points that are cross-type AF points for high-precision autofocusing. The blinking AF points are horizontal-line sensitive. For details, see page 76. AI Servo AF starting position When the AF area selection mode is set to 61-point automatic selection AF, you can manually select the AF point with which AI Servo AF is started (p.103).
AF Area Selection Modes Single-point Spot AF (Manual selection) Although this is the same as Single-point AF (manual selection), the selected AF point covers a smaller area to focus. Effective for pinpoint focusing of overlapping subjects such as an animal in a cage. Since Single-point Spot AF (manual selection) 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 adjacent AF points are used to focus. The AF point expansion is larger than with AF point expansion (manual selection ), so the focusing is executed over a wider area. 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.73).
AF Area Selection Modes 61-point automatic selection AF All the AF points are used to focus. With One-Shot AF, pressing the shutter button halfway will display the AF point(s) that achieved focus. If multiple AF points are displayed, it means they all have achieved focus. This mode tends to focus the nearest subject. With AI Servo AF, the manually-selected (p.71) AF point is used first to achieve focus. The AF point(s) achieving focus is displayed as .
About the AF Sensor The camera’s AF sensor has 61 AF points. The illustration below shows the AF sensor pattern corresponding to each AF point. With f/2.8 or larger maximum aperture lenses, high-precision AF is possible at the viewfinder center. Depending on the lens attached to the camera, the number of usable AF points and AF pattern will differ. For details, see pages 77 to 84. Diagram Cross-type focusing: f/4 horizontal + f/5.6 vertical Cross-type focusing: f/5.6 vertical + f/5.6 horizontal f/5.
Lenses and Usable AF Points Although the camera has 61 AF points, the number of usable AF points and focusing patterns will differ depending on the lens.

Troubleshooting Guide If a problem occurs with the camera, first refer to 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 pack does not recharge. Do not recharge any battery pack other than a genuine Canon Battery Pack LP-E4N or LP-E4. The battery charger’s lamp blinks in red, no Charge level lamp is lit, or all three Charge level lamps are blinking.
Troubleshooting Guide The battery becomes exhausted quickly. Use a fully-charged battery pack (p.30). The battery performance may have degraded. See [53: Battery info.] to check the battery’s recharge performance level (p.372). If the battery performance is poor, replace the battery pack 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. • Often activating only the AF without taking a picture.
Troubleshooting Guide No images can be shot or recorded. Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.35). If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to make room (p.35, 286). If you try to focus in the One-Shot AF mode while the focus confirmation light in the viewfinder blinks, a picture cannot be taken. Press the shutter button halfway again to refocus automatically, or focus manually (p.46, 114). The card cannot be used.
Troubleshooting Guide There are fewer AF points. Depending on the attached lens, the number of usable AF points and patterns will differ. The lenses are categorized into nine groups from A to I. Check which group your lens belongs to. Using a lens in Groups F to H will have fewer usable AF points (p.77). The AF points are blinking. When you press the button, the blinking AF points are those that are not cross-type AF points and are only horizontal line-sensitive.
Troubleshooting Guide The maximum burst during continuous shooting is lower. If you shoot something that has fine detail (such as a field of grass), the file size will be larger and the actual maximum burst may be lower than the number mentioned on page 126. ISO 100 cannot be set/ISO speed expansion cannot be selected. If [z2: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable], the settable ISO speed range will be ISO 200 - 51200 (ISO 200 - 25600 for movie shooting).
Troubleshooting Guide The Live View image or captured image is not displayed during multiple-exposure shooting. If [On:ContShtng] is set, Live View display, image review after image capture, and image playback are not possible during shooting (p.186). The multiple-exposure image is shot in 1 quality. When the image size is set to 41 or 61, the multiple-exposure image will be recorded in 1 quality (p.192). When I use the mode with flash, the shutter speed becomes slow.
Troubleshooting Guide Flash exposure compensation cannot be set. If flash exposure compensation has already been set with the Speedlite, flash exposure compensation cannot be set with the camera. When the Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation is canceled (set to 0), flash exposure compensation can be set with the camera. High-speed sync cannot be set in the mode. Under [z3: External Speedlite control], set [Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to [Auto] (p.200).
Troubleshooting Guide The ISO speed cannot be set for movie shooting. If the shooting mode is , the ISO speed will be set automatically. In the mode, you can freely set the ISO speed (p.232). For movie shooting, ISO 32000/40000/51200 cannot be set. Under [z2: ISO speed settings], if [ISO speed range]’s [Maximum] is set to [51200/H] or higher, the manual setting range’s Maximum will be expanded to enable ISO 32000/40000/51200 to be set.
Troubleshooting Guide The subject looks distorted during movie shooting. If you move the camera to the left or right quickly (high-speed panning) or shoot a moving subject, the image may look distorted. The image flickers or horizontal stripes appear during movie shooting. Flickering, horizontal stripes (noise), or irregular exposures can be caused by fluorescent light, LED bulbs, or other light sources during movie shooting. Also, changes in the exposure (brightness) or color tone may also be recorded.
Troubleshooting Guide Operation Problems I cannot change the setting with <6>, <5>, or <9>. Set the power switch to <1> (p.38). Check the [85: Multi function lock] setting (p.337). Vertical-grip controls such as <6> and <9> do not work. Set the vertical-grip operation switch to <1> (p.49). The camera button/dial’s function has changed. Check the [85: Custom Controls] setting (p.343). Display Problems C Y P O The file name’s first character is an underscore (“_”). Set the color space to sRGB.
Troubleshooting Guide The file numbering does not start from 0001. If the card already contains recorded images, the image number may not start from 0001 (p.164). The shooting date and time displayed is incorrect. Make sure the correct date and time has been set (p.40). Check the time zone and daylight savings time (p.41). The date and time is not in the picture. The shooting date and time does not appear in the picture. The date and time is instead recorded in the image data as shooting information.
Troubleshooting Guide Playback Problems Part of the image blinks in black. [33: Highlight alert] is set to [Enable] (p.255). A red box is displayed on the image. [33: AF point disp.] is set to [Enable] (p.255). The image cannot be erased. If the image is protected, it cannot be erased (p.279). A voice memo cannot be played back. Y P O Set [85: J/K button function] to [Play memo (Hold: Record memo)] (p.338). C The movie cannot be played back.
Troubleshooting Guide No image appears on the TV screen. Use the stereo AV cable that came with the camera (p.278). Make sure the stereo AV cable or HDMI cable’s plug is inserted all the way in (p.275, 278). Set the video OUT system (NTSC/PAL) to the same video system as the TV set (p.278). There are multiple movie files for a single movie shoot. If the movie file size reaches 4 GB, another movie file will be created automatically (p.240). My card reader does not recognize the card.
Troubleshooting Guide Sensor Cleaning Problems The shutter makes a noise during sensor cleaning. If you selected [Clean nowf], the shutter will make a noise, but no picture is taken (p.300). Automatic sensor cleaning does not work. If you repeatedly turn the power switch <1> and <2> at a short interval, the icon may not appear (p.38). Printing-Related Problems Y P O There are fewer printing effects than listed in the instruction manual.
