Page 81: Shooting Group Photos
Shooting Group Photos Use the <q> (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 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.
Page 82: Shooting Landscapes
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 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.
Page 83: Shooting Moving Subjects
Shooting Moving Subjects Use the <5> (Sports) mode to shoot a moving subject, such as a running person or a moving vehicle. Shooting Tips Use a telephoto lens. Use of a telephoto lens is recommended for shooting from a distance. Use the center AF point to focus.
Page 84: Photographing Children

Page 85: Shooting Close-Ups
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 Use a simple background. A simple background makes small objects such as flowers stand out better.
Page 86: Shooting Food
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 Change the color tone. You can change [Color tone].
Page 87: Shooting Candlelight Portraits
Shooting Candlelight Portraits When you want to photograph a human subject lit in candlelight, use <x> (Candlelight). The atmosphere of candlelight is reflected in the color tones of the picture. Shooting Tips Use the center AF point to focus. Aim the center AF point in the viewfinder over the subject, then shoot. Prevent camera shake if the numeric display (shutter speed) in the viewfinder blinks.
Page 88: Shooting Night Portraits (With A Tripod)
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 Use a wide-angle lens and a tripod. When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to obtain a wide night view.
Page 89: Shooting Night Scenes (Handheld)
Shooting Night Scenes (Handheld) Using a tripod when shooting a night scene gives the best results. However, the <F> (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.
Page 90: Shooting Backlit Scenes
Shooting Backlit Scenes When shooting a scene having both the bright and dark areas, use the <G> (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.
Page 91 Cautions for <q> Group Photo 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 <C>...
Page 92 Cautions for <F> Handheld Night Scene In flash photography, if the subject is too close to the camera, the picture may come out extremely bright (overexposure). In flash photography, if you shoot a night scene with limited lights, the shots may not align correctly.
Page 93: Shooting With Creative Filter Effects
Shooting with Creative Filter Effects In the <v> (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.

With the Soft focus and Miniature effects, the blurred effect displayed on the LCD monitor may look different from the blurred effect recorded in the picture. The histogram is not displayed.
Page 96 c Miniature effect Creates a diorama effect. If you want the image center to look sharp, take the picture without changing any setting. To move the area that looks sharp (miniature effect frame) in Live View shooting, see “Adjusting Miniature Effect” (= 98). 1-point AF is used as the AF method.
Page 97 Cautions for <A> HDR Art Standard, HDR Art Vivid, <C> HDR Art Bold, and <D> HDR Art Embossed Compared to other shooting modes, the image area will be smaller. The Live View image displayed with the filter applied will not look exactly the same as the actual captured image.
Page 98 Adjusting Miniature Effect Move the AF point. Move the AF point to where you want to focus on. Move the miniature effect frame. Move the miniature effect frame if the AF point is outside of it, so that the AF point is aligned with it.

Page 129: Matching The Light Source
Matching the Light Source 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.
Page 130 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 camera models, select [Q] (Ambience priority).
Page 131 Custom White Balance With custom white balance, you can set the white balance for the specific light source of the shooting location. Make sure to perform this procedure under the light source at the actual location of the shoot. Shoot a white object. Look through the viewfinder and aim the entire dotted line box (shown in the illustration) over a plain, white object.
Page 132 Select [O (Custom)]. Under the [z] tab, select [White balance], then press <0>. Select [O (Custom)], then press <0>. If the exposure obtained in step 1 differs greatly from the standard exposure, a correct white balance may not be obtained. In step 3, the following images cannot be selected: Images captured with the Picture Style set to [Monochrome] (= 121), images shot with a Creative filter, images processed with a Creative filter after shooting, cropped images,...
Page 133: Adjusting The Color Tone For The Light Source
Adjusting the Color Tone for the Light Source You can correct the white balance that is set. This adjustment will have the same effect as using a commercially-available color temperature conversion filter or color compensating filter. Each color can be corrected to one of nine levels.
Page 134 You can set the camera to display in the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor for when white balance correction is set (= 450). 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...
Page 135 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. Since three images are recorded for one shot, it takes longer to record the image to the card. You can also set white balance correction and AEB together with white balance bracketing.
Page 136: Auto Correction Of Brightness And Contrast
Auto Correction of Brightness and 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.
Page 137: Highlight Tone Priority
Highlight Tone Priority You can reduce overexposed, clipped highlights. Select [Highlight tone priority]. Under the [z] tab, select [Highlight tone priority], then press <0>. Set an option. [Enable]: Improves gradation in highlights. The gradation between the grays and highlights becomes smoother. [Enhanced]: Reduces overexposed highlights even more than [Enable], under some shooting conditions.
Page 138: Setting Noise Reduction
Setting Noise Reduction High ISO Speed Noise Reduction This function reduces the noise generated in the image. Although noise reduction is applied at all ISO speeds, it is particularly effective 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.
Page 139 When [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] is Set If there is significant misalignment in the image due to camera shake, the noise reduction effect may become smaller. If you are handholding the camera, keep it steady to prevent camera shake. Using a tripod is recommended. If you shoot a moving subject, the moving subject may leave afterimages.
Page 140 Set the desired setting. Select the desired setting, then press <0>. [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. [Enable] Noise reduction is performed for all exposures of 1 sec.
Page 141: Correction Of Lens Aberrations Due To Optical Characteristics
Correction of Lens Aberrations due 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]. Select [Lens aberration correction]. Under the [z] tab, select [Lens aberration correction], then press <0>.
Page 142 Peripheral Illumination Correction Vignetting (dark image corners) can be corrected. Depending on shooting conditions, noise may appear on the image periphery. The higher the ISO speed, the lower the correction amount will be. The correction amount applied will be lower than the maximum correction amount that applied with Digital Photo Professional (EOS software).
Page 143 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.
Page 144 JPEG images already taken. When using a non-Canon lens, setting the corrections to [Disable] is recommended even if [Correction data available] is displayed. Magnifying the periphery of the image may display parts of the image that will not be recorded.
Page 145: Setting The Color Reproduction Range
Setting the Color Reproduction Range 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. Select [Color space].

Blurred motion Frozen motion (Slow shutter speed: 1/30 sec.) (Fast shutter speed: 1/2000 sec.) Set the Mode Dial to <s>.
Page 150 Shutter Speed Display 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 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.
Page 151 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.
Page 152: Changing The Depth Of Field (Av Mode)
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 <f> (Aperture-priority AE) to adjust the depth of field (range of acceptable focus). * <f> stands for Aperture value (the size of the lens diaphragm opening). Blurred background Sharp foreground and background (With a low aperture f/number: f/5.6)
Page 153 Aperture Value Display 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 When using an aperture with a high f/number or shooting in low light scenes, note that camera shake can occur.
Page 154 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.
Page 155: Manual Exposure (M Mode)
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. * <a> stands for Manual. Set the Mode Dial to <a>.
