Also, because advanced shooting function settings cannot be changed, you can enjoy shooting photographs without worrying about botched pictures due to misoperation.
Fully Automatic Shooting (Scene Intelligent Auto) is a fully automatic mode. The camera analyzes the scene and sets the optimum settings automatically. It can also adjust focus automatically on either the still or moving subject by detecting the motion of the subject (= 74). 1 Set the Mode Dial to . 2 Aim the AF point over the subject. zz All the AF points (1) will be used to focus, and the camera will normally focus on the closest object.
3 Focus on the subject. zz Press the shutter button halfway. The lens elements will shift to focus. BBWhen achieving focus, the dot inside the AF point achieving focus flashes briefly in red.

The subject will also stand out better against an uncluttered dark background. zz Use a telephoto lens.
Shooting Portraits with Smooth Skin Tone Use the (Smooth skin) mode to make skin look more attractive in portraits. Images are processed to make skin look smoother. Shooting Tips zz Adjust the face size. Frames are displayed around any main subjects detected for skin smoothing. For more effective skin smoothing, you can adjust the size so that the frame is displayed on the subject’s face. zz Focus on the face. Check that the AF point covering the face lights up.
Shooting Group Photos Use the (Group Photo) mode to shoot group photos. You can take a picture in which both the people in the front and people in the back are all in focus. Shooting Tips zz Use a wide-angle lens. When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to make it easy to get all the people in the group in focus at once, from the front row to the back.
Shooting Landscapes Use the <3> (Landscape) mode for wide scenery or to have everything in focus from near to far. For vivid blues and greens, and very sharp and crisp images. Shooting Tips zz With a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end. When using a zoom lens, set the lens to the wide-angle end to make the objects near and far in focus. It also adds breadth to landscapes. zz Shooting night scenes. The <3> mode is also good for night scenes because it disables the built-in flash.
Shooting Moving Subjects Use the <5> (Sports) mode to shoot a moving subject, such as a running person or a moving vehicle. Shooting Tips zz Use a telephoto lens. Use of a telephoto lens is recommended for shooting from a distance. zz Use the center AF point to focus. Aim the center AF point over the subject, then press the shutter button halfway to autofocus. During autofocusing, the beeper will continue beeping softly. If focus cannot be achieved, the focus indicator will blink.
Photographing Children When you want to continuously focus on and photograph children running around, use (Kids). Skin tones will look healthy. Shooting Tips zz Use the center AF point to focus. Aim the center AF point over the subject, then press the shutter button halfway to autofocus. During autofocusing, the beeper will continue beeping softly. If focus cannot be achieved, the focus indicator will blink. zz Shoot continuously. The default setting is (Continuous shooting).
Shooting Close-ups When you want to shoot flowers or small things up close, use the <4> (Close-up) mode. To make small things appear much larger, use a macro lens (sold separately). Shooting Tips zz Use a simple background. A simple background makes small objects such as flowers stand out better. zz Move in as close as possible to the subject. Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. Some lenses have indications such as <0.25m/0.8ft> on them.
Shooting Food When shooting food, use
(Food). The photo will look bright and appetizing. Also, depending on the light source, the reddish tinge will be suppressed in the pictures taken under tungsten lights, etc. Shooting Tips zz Change the color tone. You can change [Color tone]. To increase the food’s reddish tinge, set it toward [Warm]. Set it toward [Cool] if it looks too red. zz Avoid using flash. If you use flash, the light may reflect off the dish or food and results in unnatural shadows.
Shooting Candlelight Portraits When you want to photograph a human subject lit in candlelight, use (Candlelight). The atmosphere of candlelight is reflected in the color tones of the picture. Shooting Tips zz Use the center AF point to focus. Aim the center AF point in the viewfinder over the subject, then shoot. zz Prevent camera shake if the numeric display (shutter speed) in the viewfinder blinks. Under low light, the viewfinder’s shutter speed display will blink.
Shooting Night Portraits (With a Tripod) When you want to photograph people at night and obtain a natural-looking night scene in the background, use the <6> (Night Portrait) mode. Using a tripod is recommended. Shooting Tips zz Use a wide-angle lens and a tripod. When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to obtain a wide night view. Also, since camera shake is prone to occur with handheld shooting, use a tripod. zz Check the subject’s brightness.
Shooting Night Scenes (Handheld) Using a tripod when shooting a night scene gives the best results. However, the (Handheld Night Scene) mode enables you to shoot night scenes even while handholding the camera. In this shooting mode, four shots are taken consecutively for each picture, and the resulting one image with reduced camera shake is recorded. Shooting Tips zz Hold the camera firmly. During shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily.
Shooting Backlit Scenes When shooting a scene having both the bright and dark areas, use the (HDR Backlight Control) mode. When you take one picture in this mode, three consecutive shots are taken at different exposures. This results in one image, with a wide tonal range, that has minimized the clipped shadows caused by backlighting. Shooting Tips zz Hold the camera firmly. During shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. In this mode, three shots are aligned and merged into a single image.
Cautions for Group Photo zz Since distortion correction is applied, the camera records an image area narrower than the one seen through the viewfinder. (The image periphery is slightly trimmed and the resolution looks slightly lowered.) Also, during Live View shooting, the angle of view changes slightly. Cautions for Kids zz During Live View shooting, if flash is fired in continuous shooting, the continuous shooting speed will decrease.
Cautions for Handheld Night Scene zz In flash photography, if the subject is too close to the camera, the picture may come out extremely bright (overexposure). zz In flash photography, if you shoot a night scene with limited lights, the shots may not align correctly. This may result in a blurry picture. zz In flash photography, if the human subject is close to the background that is also illuminated by the flash, the shots may not align correctly. This may result in a blurry picture.
Shooting with Creative Filter Effects In the (Creative filters) mode, you can apply one of ten filter effects (Grainy B/W*, Soft focus*, Fish-eye effect*, Water painting effect*, Toy camera effect*, Miniature effect*, HDR art standard, HDR art vivid, HDR art bold, and HDR art embossed) for shooting. When the camera is set for Live View shooting, you can see the effect on the screen before you start shooting. The camera saves only the image with the Creative filter effects applied.

Matching the Light Source N White balance (WB) is for making the white areas look white. Normally, the Auto [Q] (Ambience priority) or [Qw] (White priority) setting will obtain the correct white balance. If natural-looking colors cannot be obtained with Auto, you can select the white balance to match the light source or set it manually by shooting a white object. In Basic Zone modes, [Q] (Ambience priority) is set automatically. (In the
mode, [Qw] (White priority) is set.) 1 Select [White balance].
Auto White Balance With [Q] (Ambience priority), you can increase the intensity of the image’s warm color cast when shooting a tungsten-light scene. If you select [Qw] (White priority), you can reduce the intensity of the image’s warm color cast. If you want to match the Auto white balance of previous EOS DIGITAL camera models, select [Q] (Ambience priority). 1 Select [White balance]. zz Under the [z] tab, select [White balance], then press <0>. BB[White balance] will appear. 2 Select [Q].
Custom White Balance With custom white balance, you can set the white balance for the specific light source of the shooting location.

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.
zz You can set the camera to display in the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor for when white balance correction is set (= 450). zz One level of the blue/amber correction is equivalent to approx. 5 mireds of a color temperature conversion filter. (Mired: Unit of measure for color temperature used to indicate values such as the density of a color temperature conversion filter.) White Balance Auto Bracketing With just one shot, three images with different color tones can be recorded simultaneously.
zz During white balance bracketing, the maximum burst will be lower and the number of possible shots will also decrease to approx. one-third the normal number. zz Since three images are recorded for one shot, it takes longer to record the image to the card. zz 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.
Auto Correction of Brightness and N 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. In Basic Zone modes, [Standard] is set automatically. 1 Select [Auto Lighting Optimizer]. zz Under the [z] tab, select [Auto Lighting Optimizer], then press <0>. 2 Select the setting.

Change the setting to match the noise level. 1 Select [High ISO speed NR]. zz Under the [z] tab, select [High ISO speed NR], then press <0>. 2 Set the level.
When [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] is Set zz If there is significant misalignment in the image due to camera shake, the noise reduction effect may become smaller. zz If you are handholding the camera, keep it steady to prevent camera shake. Using a tripod is recommended. zz If you shoot a moving subject, the moving subject may leave afterimages. zz The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice, stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.
2 Set the desired setting. zz Select the desired setting, then press <0>. zz [Auto] For exposures of 1 sec. or longer, noise reduction is performed automatically if noise typical of long exposures is detected. This [Auto] setting is effective enough in most cases. zz [Enable] Noise reduction is performed for all exposures of 1 sec. or longer. The [Enable] setting may reduce noise that cannot be detected with the [Auto] setting. 3 Take the picture.
Correction of Lens Aberrations due N to Optical Characteristics 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 [Lens aberration correction]. zz Under the [z] tab, select [Lens aberration correction], then press <0>. 2 Select an item. zz Press the keys to select the item, then press <0>. 3 Select [Enable].
Peripheral Illumination Correction Vignetting (dark image corners) can be corrected. zz Depending on shooting conditions, noise may appear on the image periphery. zz The higher the ISO speed, the lower the correction amount will be. zz The correction amount applied will be lower than the maximum correction amount that applied with Digital Photo Professional (EOS software). zz Peripheral illumination is corrected automatically in Basic Zone modes when correction data is registered on the camera.
Digital Lens Optimizer Various aberrations from lens optical characteristics can be corrected, along with diffraction and low-pass filter-induced loss of clarity. 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. zz Depending on shooting conditions, noise may be intensified together with the effects of correction.
Diffraction Correction Diffraction (loss of sharpness caused by the aperture) can be corrected. zz Depending on shooting conditions, noise may be intensified together with the effects of correction. zz The higher the ISO speed, the lower the correction amount will be. zz For movie shooting, [Diffraction correction] will not appear. (Correction is not possible.) zz With “Diffraction correction”, degraded resolution due to the low-pass filter, etc. is corrected in addition to diffraction.
Setting the Color Reproduction Range N 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. In Basic Zone modes, [sRGB] is set automatically. 1 Select [Color space]. zz Under the [z] tab, select [Color space], then press <0>. 2 Set the desired color space. zz Select [sRGB] or [Adobe RGB], then press <0>.

Blurred motion (Slow shutter speed: 1/30 sec.) Frozen motion (Fast shutter speed: 1/2000 sec.) 1 Set the Mode Dial to . 2 Set the desired shutter speed. zz See “Shooting Tips” (= 150) for advice on setting the shutter speed.
Shutter Speed Display zz The LCD monitor displays the shutter speed as a fraction. However, the viewfinder displays only the denominator. “0"5” indicates 0.5 sec. and “15"” is 15 sec. Shooting Tips zz To freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject Use a fast shutter speed such as 1/4000 sec. to 1/500 sec. according to the speed of the moving subject. zz To blur a running child or animal and convey an impression of motion Use a medium shutter speed such as 1/250 sec. to 1/30 sec.
Using the Built-in Flash To obtain a correct flash exposure on the main subject, the flash output will be set automatically (autoflash) to match the automatically-set aperture.
Changing the Depth of Field (Av Mode) To blur the background or to make everything near and far look sharp, set the Mode Dial to (Aperture-priority AE) to adjust the depth of field (range of acceptable focus). * stands for Aperture value (the size of the lens diaphragm opening). Blurred background (With a low aperture f/number: f/5.6) Sharp foreground and background (With a high aperture f/number: f/32) 1 Set the Mode Dial to . 2 Set the desired aperture.
Aperture Value Display zz The higher the f/number, the smaller the aperture opening will be. The f/ number displayed will differ depending on the lens. If no lens is attached to the camera, “00” will be displayed for the aperture. Shooting Tips zz When using an aperture with a high f/number or shooting in low light scenes, note that camera shake can occur. A higher aperture f/number will make the shutter speed slower. Under low light, the shutter speed can be as long as 30 sec.
Using the Built-in Flash To obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be automatically controlled (autoflash) to match the set aperture. The shutter speed will be set automatically to match the brightness of the scene (= 176). In low light, the main subject is exposed with the autoflash, and the background is exposed with a slow shutter speed set automatically.
Manual Exposure (M Mode) You can set both the shutter speed and aperture manually as desired. While referring to the exposure level indicator in the viewfinder, you can set the exposure as desired. This method is called manual exposure. * stands for Manual. 1 Set the Mode Dial to . 2 Set the ISO speed (= 118). 3 Set the shutter speed and aperture. <6> + <6> (1) (2) zz To set the shutter speed, turn the <6> dial. zz To set the aperture, turn the <6> dial while holding down the button.
5 Set the exposure and take the picture. zz Check the exposure level indicator and set the desired shutter speed and aperture. zz If the exposure level exceeds ±2 stops from the standard exposure, the end of the exposure level indicator will display or in the viewfinder. (On the LCD monitor, if the exposure level exceeds ±3 stops, or will be displayed.) zz The set exposure setting will not be maintained for movie shooting.
Using the Built-in Flash To obtain a correct flash exposure on the main subject, the flash output will be set automatically (autoflash) to match the manually-set aperture. Note that the range of settable shutter speed will be limited within 1/200 sec. to 30 sec. or to bulb. BULB: Long (Bulb) Exposures (1) A bulb exposure keeps the shutter open for as long as you hold down the shutter button. It can be used to shoot fireworks and other subjects requiring long exposures.
Changing the Metering Mode N Four methods (metering modes) to measure the subject’s brightness are provided. Normally, evaluative metering is recommended. In Basic Zone modes, evaluative metering is set automatically.

e Center-weighted average metering The metering is averaged for the entire scene with the screen center weighted more heavily. This metering mode is for advanced experts. zz With q (Evaluative metering), the exposure setting will be locked when you press the shutter button halfway and focus is achieved. In the w (Partial metering), r (Spot metering), and e (Center-weighted average metering) modes, the exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.
Setting the Desired Exposure Compensation N Set exposure compensation if the results of shooting without using the flash are not as bright as expected. This feature can be used in Creative Zone modes (except ). You can set the exposure compensation up to ±5 stops* in 1/3-stop increments. If the mode and ISO Auto are both set, see page 156 to set the exposure compensation.
zz When you set the power switch to <2>, the exposure compensation setting will be canceled. zz The exposure compensation amount displayed in the viewfinder goes up to only ±2 stops. If the exposure compensation amount exceeds ±2 stops, the end of the exposure level indicator will display or . zz If you want to set exposure compensation exceeding ±2 stops, setting it with [z: Expo.comp./AEB] (= 162) is recommended.
Auto Exposure Bracketing N This feature takes exposure compensation a step further by varying the exposure automatically in the range of ±2 stops in 1/3-stop increments with three shots as shown below. You can then choose the best exposure. This is called AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing). Standard exposure Darker exposure (Decreased exposure) Brighter exposure (Increased exposure) 1 Select [Expo.comp./AEB]. zz Under the [z] tab, select [Expo. comp./AEB], then press <0>. 2 Set the AEB range.
Canceling AEB zz Follow steps 1 and 2 to turn off the AEB range display (set to 0). zz The AEB setting will also be canceled automatically if the power switch is set to <2>, flash recharging is complete, etc.
Locking the Exposure N You can lock the exposure when you want to set the focus and exposure separately or when you are to take multiple shots at the same exposure setting. Press the button to lock the exposure, then recompose and take the picture. This is called AE lock. It is effective for shooting backlit subjects, etc. 1 Focus on the subject. zz Press the shutter button halfway. BBThe exposure setting will be displayed. 2 Pressing the button.
Mirror Lockup to Reduce Camera Vibration Blur N You can use the mirror lockup function to prevent the disturbing mechanical vibrations (mirror shock) when shooting with super telephoto lenses or shooting close-ups (macro photography). Mirror lockup is enabled by setting [Mirror lockup] to [1:Enable] in [5: Custom Functions(C.Fn)] (= 449). 1 Focus on the subject, then press the shutter button completely. BBThe mirror will swing up. 2 Press the shutter button completely again.
zz 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. zz 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. zz When shooting with mirror lockup, if you use both the self-timer and bulb exposures, keep pressing the shutter button completely (for self-timer delay time + bulb exposure time).
AF-Assist Beam Settings Specify firing of the AF-assist beam from the camera’s built-in flash or an EOS Speedlite. 1 Select [AF-assist beam firing]. zz Under the [z] tab, select [AF-assist beam firing], then press <0>. 2 Select an item. zz Press the keys to select the item, then press <0>. zz [ON] Enable The AF-assist beam will be emitted when necessary.

Flash Photography This chapter describes how to shoot with built-in flash and external Speedlites (EL/EX-series, sold separately), and how to set flash settings on the camera’s menu screen. zz AEB cannot be used in flash photography.
Using the Built-in Flash In indoor, low light, or backlit conditions in daylight, just raise the builtin flash and press the shutter button to easily take beautiful pictures. In the mode, the shutter speed (1/60 sec. - 1/200 sec.) will be set automatically to prevent camera shake. 1 Raise the flash with your fingers. zz In Creative Zone modes, shooting with flash is possible whenever the flash is raised.
Shooting Tips zz In bright light, decrease the ISO speed. If the exposure setting in the viewfinder blinks, decrease the ISO speed. zz Detach the lens hood. Do not get too close to the subject. If the lens has a hood attached or you are too close to the subject, the bottom of the picture may look dark due to the obstructed flash light. For important shots, play back the image and check to make sure the picture does not look unnaturally dark at the bottom part.
Flash Exposure Compensation N Set the flash exposure compensation if the brightness of the subject does not come out as desired (so you want to adjust the flash output) in flash photography. You can set the flash exposure compensation up to ±2 stops in 1/3-stop increments. 1 Select [Flash control]. zz Under the [z] tab, select [Flash control], then press <0>. 2 Select [Built-in flash settings]. 3 Select [2exp. comp.]. 4 Set the compensation amount.
zz If [z: Auto Lighting Optimizer] (= 136) is set to any setting other than [Disable], the image may still look bright even if a decreased flash exposure compensation is set. zz If flash exposure compensation is set with an external Speedlite (sold separately, = 174), you cannot set the flash exposure compensation with the camera (Quick Control or External flash function settings). If it is set with both the camera and external Speedlite, the Speedlite’s setting overrides the camera’s.
Locking the Flash Exposure (FE lock) N If the subject is at the edge of the screen, and you use flash, the subject may turn out to be too bright or dark depending on the background, etc. Use FE lock in such a case. After setting the flash output for the appropriate subject brightness, you can recompose (put the subject toward the side) and shoot. This feature can also be used with a Canon EL/EX-series Speedlite. * FE stands for Flash Exposure. 1 Raise the flash with your fingers.
Using an External Speedlite EOS-dedicated, EL/EX-series Speedlites Using an EL/EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) makes flash photography easy. For operation procedures, refer to the EL/EX-series Speedlite’s Instruction Manual. zz Functions are limited when using EX series Speedlites that are not compatible with flash function settings. zz Non-EL/EX series Canon Speedlites will not fire.
