Advanced Shooting

This chapter builds on Chapter 3 and introduces more
ways to shoot creatively.

The first half of this chapter explains how to use the <Tv>

< Av> <M> <A-DEP> modes on the Mode Dial.

All the functions explained in Chapter 3 can also be used in
the <Tv>, <Av>, and <M> modes.
To see which functions can be used in each shooting mode,
see page 232.
The ☆ mark shown on the right of the page title indicates
that the function is available only in Creative Zone modes

(p.22).

Tv: Action Shots

> Shooting Tips

To freeze the action or moving subject.

Use a fast shutter speed such as 1/4000 sec. to 1/500 sec.

To blur a running child or animal giving the impression of fast
movement.

Use a medium shutter speed such as 1/250 sec. to 1/30 sec. Follow
the moving subject through the viewfinder and press the shutter
button to take the picture. If you use a telephoto lens, hold It steady
to prevent camera shake.

How to blur a flowing river or water fountain.

Use a slow shutter speed of 1/30 sec. or slower. Use a tripod to
prevent hand-held camera shake.

Set the shutter speed so that the aperture display does not
blink in the viewfinder.

If you press the shutter button halfway and change
the shutter speed while the aperture Is displayed,
the aperture display will also change to maintain the
same exposure (amount of light reaching the Image
sensor). If you exceed the adjustable aperture
range, the aperture display will blink to Indicate that
the standard exposure cannot be obtained.
If the exposure will be too dark, the maximum aperture (smallest
number) will blink. If this happens, turn the < /S > dial to the left to
set a slower shutter speed or Increase the ISO speed.
If the exposure will be too bright, the minimum aperture (highest
number) will blink. If this happens, turn the < /S > dial to the right to
set a faster shutter speed or decrease the ISO speed.

% Using the Built-in Flash

To obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be set
automatically (autoflash exposure) to match the automatically-set
aperture. The flash sync speed can be set from 1/200 sec. to 30 sec.

93

Av: Changing the Depth of Field

To blur the background or to make everything near and far look sharp,
set the Mode Dial to < Av> (Aperture-priority AE) to adjust the depth of
field (range of acceptable focus).

*<Av> stands for Aperture value which is the size of the diaphragm hole inside the lens.

Blurred background

(With a low aperture f/number: f/5.6)

Sharp foreground and background

(With a high aperture f/number: f/32)

Set the Mode Dial to <Av>.

Set the desired aperture.

The higher the f/number, the wider
the depth of field where sharper focus
is obtained in both the foreground
and background.
Turning the <£S> dial to the right will
set a higher f/number (smaller
aperture opening), and turning it to
the left will set a lower f/number
(larger aperture opening).

Take the picture.

Focus and press the shutter button
completely. The picture will be taken
with the selected aperture.

51 Aperture Display

The higher the f/number, the smaller the aperture opening will be. The
apertures displayed will differ depending on the lens. If no lens is attached to
the camera, “00” will be displayed for the aperture.

94

Av: Changing the Depth of Field

Shooting Tips

When using an aperture with a high f/number, note that camera
shake can occur in low light scenes.

A higher aperture f/number will make the shutter speed slower.
Under low light, the shutter speed can be as long as 30 sec. In such
cases, increase the ISO speed and hold the camera steady or use a
tripod.

The depth of field depends not only on the aperture, but also on
the lens and on the subject distance.

Since wide-angle lenses have a wide depth of field (range of
acceptable focus in front of and behind the point of focus), you need
not set a high aperture f/number to obtain a sharp picture from the
foreground to the background. On the other hand, a telephoto lens
has a narrow depth of field.
And the closer the subject, the narrower the depth of field. A farther
subject will have a wider depth of field.

Set the aperture so that the shutter speed display does not
blink.

If you press the shutter button halfway and change , ,

the aperture while the shutter speed Is displayed, I

the shutter speed display will also change to
maintain the same exposure (amount of light
reaching the image sensor). If you exceed the
adjustable shutter speed range, the shutter speed
display will blink to indicate that the standard
exposure cannot be obtained.
If the picture will be too dark, the “30" ” (30 sec.) shutter speed
display will blink. If this happens, turn the </S> dial to the left to set
a lower aperture f/number or increase the ISO speed.
If the picture will be too bright, the “4000 ” (1/4000 sec.) shutter
speed display will blink. If this happens, turn the </S> dial to the
right to set a higher aperture f/number or decrease the ISO speed.

Av: Changing the Depth of Field

% Using the Built-in Flash

To obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be set
automatically to match the set aperture (autoflash exposure). The
shutter speed will be set automatically between 1/200 sec. - 30 sec. to
suit the scene’s brightness.
In low light, the main subject Is exposed with the automatic flash, and
the background Is exposed with a slow shutter speed set automatically.
Both the subject and background look properly exposed (automatic
slow-speed flash sync). If you are handholding the camera, keep it
steady to prevent camera shake. Using a tripod Is recommended.
If you do not want a slow shutter speed to be used, set [2; Flash sync,
speed in Av mode] to [1:1/200-1/60 sec. auto] or [2:1/200 sec.
(fixed)] in [%: Custom Functions (C.Fn)] (p.218).

nmn Depth of Field Preview

The aperture opening (diaphragm) changes only at the moment when

the picture Is taken. Otherwise, the aperture remains fully open.
Therefore, when you look at the scene through the viewfinder or LCD
monitor, the depth of field will look narrow. With the procedure below,
you can check the depth of field before taking the picture.

Enable depth-of-field preview to be used.

Under [%: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], set [8: Assign SET
button] to [5: Depth-of-field preview] (p.222).
For details about Custom Function settings, see page 216.

m

During bulb exposures, do not point the lens toward the sun. The sun’s
heat can damage the camera’s internal components.
Since bulb exposures produce more noise than usual, the image might
look a little grainy.
You can reduce the noise due to long exposures by setting [3: Long exp.

noise reduction] to [1: Auto] or [2: On] in the Custom Functions

(C.Fn)] (p.219).

For bulb exposures, using a tripod and Remote Switch (sold separately,

B

p.229) is recommended.

A-DEP: Automatic Depth-of-Field AE

Objects in the foreground and background will be in focus automatically.
All the AF points will function to detect the subject, and the aperture
required to attain the necessary depth of field will be set automatically.

*< A-DEP > stands for Auto-Depth of field. This mode sets the depth of field

automatically.

Set the Mode Dial to < A-DEP>.

Focus the subject.

Aim the AF points over the subjects
and press the shutter button halfway

(®4).

All the subjects covered by the AF
points flashing in red will be in focus.

The exposure Is correct, but the desired depth of field cannot be
obtained. Either use a wide-angle lens or move farther away from
the subjects.

The shutter speed display in the viewfinder blinks.
If the “30" ” shutter speed blinks, it means that the subject is too dark.
Increase the ISO speed. If the “4000 ” shutter speed blinks, it means
that the subject Is too bright. Decrease the ISO speed.

A slow shutter speed has been set.
Use a tripod to steady the camera.

I want to use flash.
Flash can be used, however, the result will be the same as using the

<P> mode with flash. The desired depth of field will not be obtained.

About the Lens Correction Data

The camera already contains lens peripheral illumination correction
data for about 25 lenses. In step 2, if you select [Enable], the peripheral
light correction will be applied automatically for any lens whose
correction data has been registered in the camera.

With EOS Utility (provided software, p.270), you can check which
lenses have their correction data registered in the camera. You can also
register the correction data for unregistered lenses. For details, see the
Software Instruction Manual (CD-ROM) for EOS Utility (p.272).

#

For JPEG images already captured, lens peripheral illumination

correction cannot be applied.

Depending on shooting conditions, noise might appear on the image
periphery.

When using a non-Canon lens, setting the correction to [Disable] is

recommended, even if [Correction data available] is displayed.

Lens peripheral light correction is also applied when an Extender is

B

attached.

If the correction data for the attached lens has not been registered to the

camera, the result will be the same as when the correction is set to

[Disable].

The correction amount applied will be slightly lower than the maximum
correction amount settable with Digital Photo Professional (provided
software).

If the lens does not have distance information, the correction amount will
be lower.

The higher the ISO speed, the lower the correction amount will be.

1^5 Adjusting the Color Tone for the Light Source *

You can correct the white balance that has been 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.
This Is for advanced users who are familiar with using color temperature
conversion or color compensating filters.

White Balance Correction

Select [WB Shift/BKT],

Under the [O'] tab, select [WB Shift/
BKT], then press <©>.
The WB correction/WB bracketing
screen will appear.

Set the white balance correction.

Press the < v > key to move the
mark to the desired position.
B is for blue, A is amber, M is
magenta, and G is green. The color in
the respective direction will be
corrected.
On the upper right, “Shift” indicates
the direction and correction amount.
Pressing the <DISR> button will
cancel all the [WB Shift/BKT]
settings.

Press <@> to exit the setting and
return to the menu.

During the white balance correction, <SS> will be displayed in the
viewfinder and on the LCD monitor.

One level of the blue/amber correction is equivalent to 5 mireds of a color
temperature conversion filter. (Mired: Measuring unit indicating the
density of a color temperature conversion filter.)

Adjusting the Color Tons for the Lighi Source ■■

White Balance Auto Bracketing

With just one shot, three images having a different color balance can be
recorded simuitaneously. Based on the color temperature of the current white
balance setting, the image wiil be bracketed with a blue/amber bias or
magenta/green bias. This is called white balance bracketing (WB-BKT). White
balance bracketing is possible up to ±3 levels in single-level increments.

Set the white balance bracketing amount.

In step 2 for white balance correction,
when you turn the <£S> dial, the
mark on the screen will change to “■ ■ ®”

\ Co.

B/A bias ±3 levels

(3 points). Turning the dial to the right sets
the B/A bracketing, and turning it to the
left sets the MIG bracketing.
On the right, “Bracket” indicates the
bracketing direction and correction amount.
Pressing the <DISR> button will cancel
all the [WB Shift/BKT] settings.

Press <©> to exit the setting and
return to the menu.

Bracketing Sequence

The images will be bracketed in the following sequence: 1. Standard
white balance, 2. Blue (B) bias, and 3. Amber (A) bias, or 1. Standard
white balance, 2. Magenta (M) bias, and 3. Green (G) bias.

m During WB bracketing, the continuous shooting speed will be slower. The

maximum burst for continuous shooting will also be lower and the number of
possible shots will decrease to one-third the normal number.

You can also set white balance correction and AEB (p.103) together with

a

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.
Since three images are recorded for one shot, the card will take longer to
record the shot.

“BKT” stands for Bracketing.

118

Setting the Color Reproduction Range

The range of reproducible colors is called the color space. With this
camera, you can set the color space to sRGB or Adobe RGB for
captured images. For normal shooting, sRGB Is recommended.
In Basic Zone modes, sRGB Is set automatically.

ir

Select [Color space].

Under the [O'] tab, select [Color
space], then press <©>.

; Set the desired color space.

Select [sRGB] or [Adobe RGB], then
press <©>.

About Adobe RGB

This color space Is mainly used for commercial printing and other
industrial uses. This setting Is not recommended if you do not know
about image processing, Adobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File
System 2.0 (Exit 2.21).
The image will look very subdued in a sRGB personal computer
environment and with printers not compatible with Design rule for
Camera File System 2.0 (Exit 2.21). Post-processing of the image with
software will therefore be required.

Eil If the image is captured with the color space set to Adobe RGB, the file

name will start with (first character is an underscore).
The ICC profile is not appended. See explanations about the ICC profile

in the Software Instruction Manual (p.272) in the CD-ROM.

119

Shooting with the LCD Monitor

(Live View Shooting)

You can shoot while viewing the image on the camera’s

LCD monitor. This is called “Live View shooting”.

Live View shooting is effective for still subjects which do
not move.
If you handhold the camera and shoot while viewing the
LCD monitor, camera shake can cause blurred images.
Using a tripod is recommended.

Q About Remote Live View Shooting

With EOS Utility (provided software, p.270) installed in your
computer, you can connect the camera to the computer and shoot
remotely while viewing the computer screen. For details, see the

Shooting conditions which can make focusing difficult:

Low-contrast subjects such as the blue sky and solid-color, flat
surfaces.
Subjects in low light.
Stripes and other patterns where there Is contrast only in the
horizontal direction.
Under a light source whose brightness, color, or pattern keeps
changing.
Night scenes or points of light.
Under fluorescent lighting or when the image flickers.
Extremely small subjects.
Subjects at the edge of the picture.
Subjects strongly reflecting light.
The AF point covers both a near and faraway subject (such as an
animal in a cage).
Subjects which keep moving within the AF point and cannot keep
still due to camera shake or subject blur.

Live View Shooting Cautions

White <0> and Red <®> Internal Temperature Warning Icons

if the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged Live
View shooting or a high ambient temperature, a white <0> icon will
appear. If you continue shooting while this icon is displayed, the image
quality of still photos may deteriorate. You should stop the Live View
shooting and allow the camera to cool down before shooting again.

If the camera’s internal temperature further increases while the white
<@> icon is displayed, a red <0> icon will start blinking. This blinking
icon is a warning that the Live View shooting will soon be terminated
automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the
camera’s internal temperature decreases. Turn off the power and let the
camera rest for a while.
Shooting with the Live View function at a high temperature for a
prolonged period will cause the <E!> and <0> icons to appear earlier.
When not shooting, turn off the camera.

Live View Image Cautions

Under low- or bright-light conditions, the Live View image might not
reflect the brightness of the captured image.

If the light source within the image changes, the screen might flicker. If
this happens, stop the Live View shooting and resume shooting under
the actual light source to be used.

If you point the camera in a different direction, it might throw off the Live
View image’s correct brightness momentarily. Wait until the brightness
level stabilizes before shooting.

If there is a very bright light source in the picture, such as the sun, the
bright area might appear black on the LCD monitor. However, the actual
captured image will correctly show the bright area.

In low light, if you set the [V‘ LCD brightness] to a bright setting,
chrominance noise may appear in the Live View image. However, the
chrominance noise will not be recorded in the captured image.
When you magnify the image, the image sharpness may look more
pronounced than it really is.

136

® Live View Shooting Cautions

Shooting Result Cautions

When you shoot continuously with the Live View function for a long
period, the camera’s internal temperature may increase and it can
degrade image quality. Terminate Live View shooting when not shooting
images.
Before taking a long exposure, stop Live View shooting temporarily and
wait several minutes before shooting. This is to prevent image
degradation.
Live View shooting in high temperatures and at high ISO speeds may
cause noise or irregular colors.
When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (banding, dots of light, etc.)
may become noticeable.
If you take the picture during magnified view, the exposure might not
come out as desired. Return to the normal view before taking the picture.
During the magnified view, the shutter speed and aperture will be
displayed in orange. Even if you take the picture during magnified view,
the image will be captured in the normal view.

' If [iS‘ Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.107) is not set to [Disable], the

image may look bright even if a decreased exposure compensation or
decreased flash exposure compensation has been set.
If you use a TS-E lens to shift the lens vertically or use an Extension
Tube, the standard exposure might not be obtained or an irregular
exposure may result.

Custom Function Cautions

During Live View shooting, certain Custom Function settings will not take
effect (p.217).

Lens and Flash Cautions

The focus preset feature on super telephoto lenses cannot be used.
FE lock is not possible when the built-in flash or an external Speedlite is
used. Modeling flash will not work with an external Speedlite.

About the Red <M > Internal Temperature Warning Icon

If the camera’s internal temperature is high, a blinking red icon <0> may
appear. This blinking icon is a warning that the movie shooting will soon
be terminated automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to shoot
again until the camera’s internal temperature decreases. Turn off the
power and let the camera rest for a while.
Movie shooting at a high temperature for a prolonged period will cause
the <0> icon to appear sooner. When not shooting, turn off the camera.

Movie Shooting Cautions

Recording and image Quality

If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer, the Image Stabilizer will
operate at all times even if you do not press the shutter button halfway.
The Image Stabilizer will thereby consume battery power and may
shorten the total movie shooting time or decrease the number of possible
shots. If you use a tripod or if the Image Stabilizer is not necessary, you
should set the IS switch to <OFF>.
The camera’s built-in microphone will also record camera operation
noise.
If movie shooting is not possible due to insufficient remaining capacity of
the card, the movie recording size and movie shooting remaining time
(p.142) will be displayed in red.
If you use a card having a slow writing speed, a five-level
indicator might appear on the right of the screen during
movie shooting. It indicates how much data has not yet been
written to the card (remaining capacity of the internal buffer
memory). The slower the card, the faster the indicator will
climb upward. If the indicator becomes full, movie shooting
will stop automatically.
If the card has a fast writing speed, the indicator will either
not appear or the level (if displayed) will hardly go upward.
First, shoot a few test movies to see if the card can write fast enough.

momentarily still when you playback the movie.

If you connect the camera to a TV set with an HDMl cable (p.191) and
shoot a movie, the movie being shot will be displayed at a small size on
the TV. But the movie will still be properly recorded in High-Definition

(HD) quality.

If you connect the camera to a TV set and shoot a movie, the TV will not
output any sound during the shooting. However, the sound will be

About Folders

As with iOOCANON ” for example, the folder name starts with three digits

(folder number) followed by five alphanumeric characters. A folder can contain
up to 9999 images (file No. 0001 - 9999). When a folder becomes full, a new

folder with a higher one-up folder number is created automatically. Also, if

manual reset (p.159) is executed, a new folder will be created automatically.
Folders numbered from 100 to 999 can be created.

With the folder selection screen

displayed, select a folder and press

<@ >.

The folder where the captured
images will be saved is selected.
Subsequent captured images will be

Creating Folders with a Personal Computer

With the card open on the screen, create a new folder named “DCIM ”. Open
the DCIM folder and create as many folders as necessary to save and

organize your images. The folder name must follow the “100ABC__D” format

where the first three digits is 100 - 999 followed by five alphanumeric

characters. The five characters can be a combination of upper- or lower-case
letters from A to Z, numerals, and an underscore There can be no space in

the folder name. Also, folder names cannot have the same three-digit number

such as “100ABC D” and “100W XYZ” even if the letters are different.

Handy Features

File Numbering Methods

The image files will be numbered from 0001 to 9999 in the order the

images are taken, then saved in a folder. You can change how the file
number is assigned.
The file number will appear on your computer in this format:

IMG_0001.JPG.

Under the [%‘] tab, select [File
numbering], then press <©>. The
available settings are described below.
Select one, then press <©>.

[Continuous]: The file numbering continues in sequence even
after you replace the card or create a folder.

numbering continues in sequence up to 9999. This is convenient
when you want to save images numbered anywhere between 0001
to 9999 in multiple cards or folders into one folder in your personal

computer.

If the replacement card or existing folder already contains images

recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images might

continue from the file numbering of the existing images in the card or
folder. If you want to use continuous file numbering, you should use

a newly-formatted card each time.

When you reset the file numbering manually, a new folder is created

automatically and the file numbering of images saved to that folder
starts from 0001.
This is convenient if you want to use different folders for the images

taken yesterday and the ones taken today, for example.
After the manual reset, the file numbering returns to continuous or

auto reset. (There will be no Manual reset confirmation screen.)

m If the file number in folder No. 999 reaches 9999, shooting will not be

possible even if the card still has storage capacity. The LCD monitor will

Shutter sync.

Normally, set this to [1st curtain] so that the flash fires Immediately
after the exposure starts.
If [2nd curtain] Is set, the flash will fire right before the exposure
ends. When this Is combined with a slow sync speed, you can create
a trail of light such as from car headlights at night. With 2nd-curtaln
sync, a preflash Is fired when you press the shutter button
completely. This Is to determine the exposure. Then Immediately
before the exposure ends, the real flash Is fired. Therefore, two

flashes will be fired. However, with shutter speeds faster than 1/30

sec., 1st curtain sync will automatically take effect.
If an external Speedllte Is attached, you can also set [Hi-speed]. For
details, see the Speedlite’s instruction manual.

Dust entering the camera can adhere to the image sensor and cause
dust spots to be visibie on the captured images. To erase these dust
spots, you can append the Dust Deiete Data to the images. The Dust
Deiete Data is used by Digitai Photo Professionai (provided software,
p.270) to erase the dust spots automaticaiiy.

Appending Dust Delete Data"*

; Photograph a solid-white object.

At a distance of 20 cm - 30 cm (0.7 ft.

-1.0 ft.), fill the viewfinder with a

patternless, solid-white object and
take a picture.
The picture will be taken in aperture-

priority AE mode at an aperture of

f/22.

Since the image will not be saved, the
data can still be obtained even if there

is no card in the camera.
When the picture is taken, the camera will
start collecting the Dust Delete Data.
When the Dust Delete Data is obtained, a

message will appear.
Select [OK], and the menu will reappear.

If the data was not obtained
successfully, a message to that effect
will appear. Follow the “Preparation”

procedure on the preceding page, then
select [OK]. Take the picture again.

About the Dust Delete Data

After the Dust Delete Data is obtained, it is appended to all the JPEG
and RAW images captured thereafter. Before an important shoot, you
should update the Dust Delete Data by obtaining it again.

For details about using Digital Photo Professional (provided software,

p.270) to erase dust spots, see the Software Instruction Manual (p.272)
in the Software Instruction Manual CD-ROM.
The Dust Delete Data appended to the image is so small that it hardly
affects the image file size.

® Be sure to use a solid-white object such as a new sheet of white paper. If the

paper has any pattern or design, it may be recognized as dust data and
affect the accuracy of the dust deletion with the software.

172

Manual Sensor Cleaning

If dust adhere to the image sensor and dust spots appear on the
images, you can clean the image sensor yourself with a camera blower.

The surface of the image sensor is extremely delicate. If the

sensor needs to be cleaned directly, having it done by a Canon
Service Center is recommended.

Before cleaning the sensor, detach the lens from the camera.

Select [Clean manually].

Under the [%■ ] tab, select [Clean

manually], then press <©>.

Select [OK].

Select [OK], then press <©>.
In a moment, the reflex mirror will
lockup and the shutter will open.

Clean the sensor.

End the cleaning.

Set the power switch to <OFF>.

For the power source, using AC Adapter Kit ACK-E10 (sold separately)

i

is recommended.
If you use a battery, make sure it is fully recharged.

173

Manual Sensor Cleaning"*^

M

While cleaning the sensor, never do any of the following. If the
power is cut off, the shutter will close and the shutter curtains and
image sensor might get damaged.

• Setting the power switch to <OFF>.

• Opening the card/battery compartment cover.

The surface of the image sensor is extremely delicate. Clean the sensor

with care.

Use a plain blower without any brush attached. A brush can scratch the
sensor.
Do not insert the blower tip inside the camera beyond the lens mount. If
the power is turned off, the shutter will close and the shutter curtains or
reflex mirror might get damaged.
Never use canned air or gas to clean the sensor. The blowing force can
damage the sensor or the spray gas can freeze on the sensor.
If the battery level becomes low while you clean the sensor, the beeper

will sound as a warning. Stop cleaning the sensor.

If a smudge that cannot be removed with a blower remains, having the
sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is recommended.

Enjoying Movies

Basically, you can playback movies in the following three ways:

Playback on a TV ;

The camera does not have an audio/video OUT terminal. Therefore, the
camera cannot be connected to a TV set with an analog AV cable.
Movies on a card can be played only by devices compatible with MOV

files.

Since hard disk recorders do not have an HDMI IN terminal, the camera
cannot be connected to a hard disk recorder with an HDMI cable.
Even if the camera is connected to a hard disk recorder with a USB
cable, movies and still photos cannot be played nor saved.

Using HDMI Cable HTC-100 (sold separately) is recommended.

B

(p.191)

An HDMI cable (sold separately) is

¡1

necessary to connect the camera to a

TV set. The TV set must also have an

HDMI terminal.

When the camera Is connected to a TV
set with an HDMI cable, you can

playback movies and still photos on the
TV set. If you use a High-Definition TV
set to playback High-Definition (HD)

movies shot with this camera, you can
watch the movies in high definition.

184

Enjoying Movies

Playback on the Camera’s LCD Monitor (p.i86-i90)

. .You can playback movies on the

camera’s LCD monitor. You can also edit

out the movie’s first and last scenes, and
