Camera Basics Learn about setting up the camera and performing basic camera operations. Handling Precautions The camera is a high-precision electronic device. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impact. Never bring the camera near magnets, motors, or other devices that generate strong electromagnetic fields.
Charged battery packs gradually lose their charge, even when they are not used. Charge the battery pack on (or immediately before) the day of use. Inserting/Removing the Battery Pack and Memory Card If you insert the battery pack facing the wrong way, it cannot be locked into the correct position.
Viewfinder The viewfinder display and camera screen cannot be activated at the same time. Some aspect ratio settings will cause black bars to be displayed on the top and bottom or left and right edges of the screen. These areas are not recorded.
Playback Display Options Overexposed highlights blink over the information display image when you access screens showing detailed information. A graph called a brightness histogram on the top of screens with detailed information shows the distribution of brightness in images. The horizontal axis represents the degree of brightness, and the vertical axis, how much of the image is at each level of brightness.
Shooting Learn about a variety of shooting modes for stills and movies. Shooting with Camera-Determined Settings (Auto Mode/Hybrid Auto Mode) Still Images A blinking [ ] icon warns that images are more likely to be blurred by camera shake. In this case, mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures to keep it still.
Page 235
Avoid touching camera controls other than the movie recording button when recording movies, because sounds made by the camera will be recorded. Once movie recording begins, the image display area changes and subjects are enlarged to allow for correction of significant camera shake.
Page 236
Image Stabilization Icons Optimal image stabilization for the shooting conditions (Intelligent IS) is automatically applied, and the following icons are displayed. Image stabilization for still images (Normal) Image stabilization for still images when panning (Panning)* Image stabilization for angular camera shake and shift-shake in macro shots (Hybrid IS).
Use a computer or other device to reduce panorama images if you will print them by inserting a memory card in a Canon printer. If panoramas are not compatible with certain software or Web services, try resizing them on a computer.
Shooting Subjects in Motion (Sports Mode) Shots may look grainy because the ISO speed is increased to suit the shooting conditions. There may be a delay after continuous shooting before you can shoot again. Shooting may slow down depending on shooting conditions, camera settings, and the zoom position.
Handheld Night Scene Image noise is reduced by combining consecutive shots into a single image. Hold the camera steady as it shoots continuously. There will be a delay before you can shoot again, as the camera processes and combines the images. Shots may look grainy because the ISO speed is increased to suit the shooting conditions.
Recording Movies at Specific Shutter Speeds and Aperture Values (Movie Manual Exposure) Some shutter speeds may cause flickering on the screen when recording under fluorescent or LED lighting, which may be recorded. When the ISO speed is fixed, you can compare your specified value (where the exposure level indicator moves) to the standard exposure level by pressing the shutter button halfway.
Shooting at Specific Shutter Speeds (Tv Mode) : Time value We recommend deactivating image stabilization when shooting at slow shutter speeds on a tripod. With shutter speeds of 1.3 seconds or slower, ISO speed is [100] and cannot be changed. Blinking display of the aperture value when you press the shutter button halfway indicates that the standard exposure has not been obtained.
Exposure may not be as expected when the ISO speed is set to [AUTO], because the ISO speed is adjusted to ensure standard exposure relative to your specified shutter speed and aperture value. Image brightness may be affected by Auto Lighting Optimizer. To keep the Auto Lighting Optimizer disabled in mode, add a [ ] mark...
Easily Reacquiring Subjects after Manual Zooming (Framing Assist – Seek) Some shooting information is not displayed while the camera is zoomed out. The white frame (which roughly shows the area displayed before you pressed the button) is not displayed if you press the button when recording movies.
During movie recording, zooming and the corresponding camera operating sounds are recorded. Auto zooming to keep multiple subjects on the screen is not performed during movie recording, even if faces are detected. Auto zooming is not performed during continuous shooting. The zoom factor cannot be changed after you press the shutter button all the way down in self-timer mode.
RAW images with more compact file sizes. RAW image data cannot be used as-is for viewing on a computer or printing. You must first use the Canon application Digital Photo Professional to convert images to ordinary JPEG or TIFF files.
The file extension for JPEG images is .JPG, and the extension for RAW images is .CR3. File names of JPEG and RAW images captured together have the same image number. You can also configure this setting in [Image quality]. To capture images in both JPEG and RAW format simultaneously, choose [ or [ ] in [RAW].

Configuring Safety FE Shots may be captured using settings different from the values displayed when you press the shutter button halfway. Continuous Shooting During continuous shooting in mode, focus is locked at the...
Adding a Date Stamp Shots taken without adding a date stamp can be printed with one as follows. However, adding a date stamp this way to images that already have one may cause it to be printed twice. Print using printer functions Use camera DPOF print settings to print Adjusting Image Brightness (Exposure Compensation)

When the effect of Auto Lighting Optimizer is too strong and images become too bright, set it to [ ] or [ Images may still be bright or the effect of exposure compensation may be weak under a setting other than [ ] if you use a darker setting for...
Shooting with Servo AF The camera may not be able to shoot while focusing, even if you press the shutter button all the way down. Keep holding down the shutter button as you follow the subject. Exposure is not locked in Servo AF mode when you press the shutter button halfway but is determined the moment you shoot.
Tracking AF [AF operation] is set to [ ] and cannot be changed. Tracking may not be possible when subjects are too small or move too rapidly, or when subject color or brightness matches that of the background too closely. [ ] is not available.

Recording Time-Lapse Movies As you configure the items, the time required [ ] and movie playback time [ ] are displayed. Set [Screen auto off] to [Disable] to keep the screen on for 30 minutes after you start shooting. Set it to [Enable] to turn the screen off about 10 seconds after the first frame is captured.
Playback Learn about viewing your stills and movies on the camera. Viewing Pressing the button when the camera is off starts playback, and pressing it again turns the camera off. The lens is retracted after about a minute during playback. You can turn the camera off when the lens is retracted by pressing the button.
Editing Movies Removing the Beginning/End of Movies When you are specifying portions to cut, moving [ ] to a position not identified with a [ ] icon will cut from the beginning to the nearest [ mark on the left (for [ ]) or from the nearest [ ] mark on the right to the end (for [ ]).
Protecting Images Protected images on a memory card will be erased if you format the card. Protected images cannot be erased using the camera’s erasure function. To erase them this way, first cancel protection. You can choose [All found images] or [Unprotect all found] by using [Protect images] or button →...
Adding Images to Print Orders (DPOF) RAW images and movies cannot be selected. Not all of your DPOF settings may be applied in printing by the printer or photo development service, in some cases. Setting [Date] to [On] may cause some printers to print the date twice. Adding Images to a Photobook RAW images and movies cannot be selected.
