Handling Precautions

Camera Care

This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical shock.

The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you accidentally drop the camera into water, promptly consult your nearest Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a well-wrung wet cloth. Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field such as a magnet or electric motor. Also avoid using or leaving the camera near anything emitting strong radio waves such as a large antenna. Strong magnetic fields can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data.

Do not leave the camera in excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.

The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to disassemble the camera yourself.

Do not block the mirror operation with your finger, etc. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirror, and focusing screen. Do notCOPYuse cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean

the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, take the camera to the nearest Canon Service Center.

Do not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your fingers. This is to prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause camera misoperation.

If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room, condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.

If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid damaging the camera. If there is condensation, remove the lens, card and battery from the camera, and wait until the condensation has evaporated before using the camera.

If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while the camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a while to check that the camera is still working.

Avoid storing the camera where there are corrosive chemicals such as a darkroom or chemical lab.

If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions before using it. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is an important shoot coming up, have the camera checked by your Canon dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.

Handling Precautions

LCD Panel and LCD Monitor

Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there may be a few dead pixels among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying only black or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded. If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days. The LCD monitor display may seem slow in low temperatures, or look black in high temperatures. It will return to normal at room temperature.

Cards

To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:

Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force, physical shock, or vibration.

Do not store or use the card near anything having a strong magnetic field such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places prone to having static electricity.

Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Store the card in a case.

Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.

Lens

	After detaching the lens from the camera, put down the	Contacts
	lens with the rear end up and attach the lens caps to
	avoid scratching the lensCOPYsurface and electrical contacts.

Cautions During Prolonged Use

If you use continuous shooting, Live View shooting, or movie shooting for a prolonged period, the camera may become hot. Although this is not a malfunction, holding the hot camera for a long period can cause slight skin burns.

Shooting and Playing

Movies

The live image displayed on the camera’s LCD monitor can be recorded asCOPYa movie to the card. The movie recording format will be M V.

This chapter assumes that an EF lens is used with the camera. If you use an EF Cinema (CN-E) lens, see the cautions on pages 17 and 29, and start movie shooting.

15

kPreparing to Shoot Movies

Set the camera so it can record the live image displayed on the LCD monitor as a movie. To shoot still photos, see page 31.

1 Check the [Movies] setting.

Select the [z4] tab and check that [LV z/kset.] is set to [Movies].

If it is set to [Disable] or [Stills], select [Movies], then press <0>. “LV” stands for Live View.

2 Set [Movie rec. size].

For details on [Movie rec. size], see

COPYpage 34.

Display the image.

3	Press the <A> button.
	X The image will appear on the LCD
	monitor.
	In the <a> shooting mode, turn the
	<6> or <5> dial to adjust the
	brightness.
	A semi-transparent or black mask will
	appear on the top/bottom or left/right.
	The image area surrounded by the
	masking will be recorded as the movie.

Notes on Movie Shooting are on page 27.

For information related to card operation confirmation, refer to Canon Web site, etc.

16

kPreparing to Shoot Movies

EF Cinema (CN-E) Lenses

With EF Cinema single focal length lenses, you can shoot at all movierecording quality settings. If you use an EF Cinema zoom lens, you can shoot movies only with ISuper 35mm Crop. (Since the image circle is small, the image periphery will be dark if you shoot a movie in HA BCquality or still photo.)

Cards that Can Record Movies

Use a large-capacity card with a fast writing/reading speed (required card performance) as shown in the table. First, shoot a few test movies to see if movies can be recorded accurately with a movie-recording size you set (p.34).

	Image Size	Frame Rate	Movie Recording/	Required Card
			Compression Method	Performance
	H	5/4	JMotion JPEG	UDMA7
				100 MB/sec. or faster
	I	6/5/4		20 MB/sec. or faster
	A	6/5/4	X
	B	87	MPEG-4 AVC/H.264	10 MB/sec. or faster
		/
	C	6/5COPY
	I	6/5/4		30 MB/sec. or faster
	A	8/7	W	60 MB/sec. or faster
		654	MPEG-4 AVC/H.264
		/ /		30 MB/sec. or faster
	B	8/7

If you use a slow-writing card when shooting movies, the movie may not be recorded properly. Also, if you play back a movie on a card with a slow reading speed, the movie may not play back properly.

If you want to shoot still photos while shooting a movie, you will need an even faster card.

To check the card’s writing/reading speed, refer to the card manufacturer’s Web site.

To optimize the card’s performance, format the card before shooting movies. For card-formatting cautions, see zpage 55.

kShooting Movies

Since shooting a movie at ISO 32000/40000/51200 may result in substantial noise, these speeds are designated as expanded ISO speeds (displayed as [H]).

If [ISO speed range]’s [Minimum] is set to [L (50)] and you switch from still photo shooting to movie shooting, the manual ISO speed setting range’s minimum for movie shooting will be ISO 100. It cannot be expanded to ISO 50.

Changing the shutter speed or aperture, or zooming the lens during movie shooting, is not recommended since the changes in the exposure, or noise at high ISO speeds, may be recorded.

When shooting a movie of a moving subject, a shutter speed of 1/30 sec. to 1/125 sec. is recommended. The faster the shutter speed, the less smooth the subject’s movement will look.

If you change the shutter speed while shooting under fluorescent or LED lighting, image flicker may be recorded.

If ISO Auto is set,COPYyou can press the <A> button to lock the ISO speed. When you press the <A> button and then recompose the picture, you

Notes on Movie Shooting

The camera cannot autofocus continuously like a camcorder.

If you use AF during movie shooting, the focus may become greatly blurred momentarily and the exposure may change.

If you use a USM lens and perform AF while shooting a movie in low light, horizontal noise stripes may be recorded. With certain lenses having an electronic focusing ring, horizontal noise stripes may be recorded even when you focus manually (MF).

Zooming the lens during movie shooting is not recommended. Zooming the lens can cause changes in the exposure regardless of whether the lens’ maximum aperture changes or not. Exposure changes may be recorded as a result.

During movie shooting, do not point the lens toward the sun. The sun’s heat can damage the camera’s internal components.

The movie image’s field of view is approx. 100% (with movie recording size set to [A]).

You can also focus the image by pressing the <p> button.

To focus during movie shooting, press the <p> button. You cannot focus by pressing the shutter button.

Sizes of AF points and a magnification frame displayed in information display (p.26) depend on the movie-recording size setting (p.34). Monaural sound is recorded by the camera’s built-in microphone (p.18). By connecting a stereo microphone (commercially available) equipped with a 3.5 mm mini plug to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal (p.13), stereo sound recording is possible.

By connecting stereoCOPYheadphones (commercially available) equipped with a 3.5 mm mini plug to the camera’s headphone terminal (p.13), you can listen to the sound during movie shooting.

The focus preset function is possible for movie shooting when using a (super) telephoto lens equipped with the focus preset mode marketed since the second half of 2011.

With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E4N, the total movie shooting time (with Hshooting) will be as follows: approx. 1 hr. 25 min. at room temperature (23°C/73°F), and approx. 1 hr. 15 min. at low temperature (0°C/32°F).

Cautions for Using EF Cinema (CN-E) Lenses

EF Cinema lenses with PL mount are not supported.

EF Cinema lenses require the aperture to be adjusted manually. Therefore, they are not suitable for autoexposure shooting (p.18) and shutter-priority AE shooting (p.19) for which the aperture is set automatically to suit the brightness.

If the EF Cinema lens is not fitted with a function for sending information to the camera, the aperture will be indicated as “00.” Also, the lens name and other information will not be recorded in the Exif information.

If the EF Cinema lens can send information to the camera, the aperture will be displayed as the f/number (not as the TNo.).

The color tone of movies shot with EF lenses and EF Cinema lenses is different. Compared to EF lenses, EF Cinema lenses tend to make movies look slightly more yellow.

When you shoot a still photo using an EF Cinema lens, lens aberration correction (peripheral illumination correction and chromatic aberration correction) is not COPYapplied.

Additional cautions regarding the use of EF Cinema lenses may be announced on the Canon Web site, etc.
