1Using Full Auto
All you do is point the camera and press the shutter button. Everything is automatic so it is easy to photograph any subject. With nine AF points to focus the subject, anyone can easily take nice pictures.

While focusing with <AF>, do not touch the focusing ring at the front of the lens. If you want to zoom, do it before focusing. Turning the zoom ring after achieving focus may throw off the focus. When the CF card becomes full, the CF Full warning FuLL CF will appear in the viewnder and on the LCD panel and shooting will be disabled. Replace the CF card with one that has room. If something obstructs the built-in ash from popping up, Err 05 will blink on the LCD panel. If this happens, turn the <4> switch to <2> and set it back to <1>. Using a non-Canon lens with an EOS camera may not result in proper camera or lens operation. When focus is achieved, the focus and exposure setting will also be locked. If the focus conrmation light <o> blinks, the picture cannot be taken. (p.70) Multiple AF points may ash simultaneously in red.This indicates that focus has been achieved at all those AF points. In the Basic Zone modes (except <3> <5> <7>), the built-in ash will pop up and re automatically in low-light or backlit conditions. To retract the ash, push it back down. You can disable the beeper from sounding when focus is achieved. (p.90) The image review time after image capture can be changed with the menus [x Review time] setting. (p.100) If you want to select the AF point to be used for focusing, set the Mode Dial to <d>, then follow Selecting the AF Point (p.67) to select the AF point.

The 7 (Fine) and 8 (Normal) icons indicate the images compression rate. For better image quality, select <7> for low compression. To save space so you can record more images, select a higher compression <8>. RAW + JPEG images recorded simultaneously will be stored in the same folder as two types of data (RAW and JPEG) bearing the same le No. With JPEG images, direct printing and print ordering are possible.

About the RAW Format

The RAW format assumes that the image will undergo post-processing with a personal computer. Special knowledge is required, but you can use the bundled software to obtain the desired effect. <1> images are processed according to the white balance, color space, and processing parameters set at the time of shooting. Image processing refers to adjusting the RAW images white balance, contrast, etc., to create the nal image. Note that direct printing and print ordering (DPOF) will not work with RAW images.

Image-recording quality Image File Size (Approx. MB) 73 3.1.2.1.1.0.6 1+73 1+83 1+74 1+84 1+76 1+8.7

Possible Shots 27

The number of possible shots applies to a 256MB CF card. The single image size, number of possible shots, and maximum burst during continuous shooting (p.48) are based on Canons testing standards (ISO 100 with [Parameter 1] set). The actual single image size, number of possible shots, and maximum burst will vary depending on the subject, shooting mode, ISO speed, parameters, etc. In the case of monochrome images (p.59), the le size will be smaller so the number of possible shots will be higher. On the top LCD panel, you can check the remaining number of images the CF card can record. A different image-recording quality can be set separately for the Basic Zone modes and Creative Zone modes.
Max. Burst During Continuous Shooting
The maximum burst during continuous shooting depends on the imagerecording quality. The approx. maximum burst during continuous shooting is indicated below for each image-recording quality. Note that with high-speed CF cards, the maximum burst may be higher than shown in the table below depending on the shooting conditions. (With the recording quality set to JPEG.)

image captured in step 3, then press <0>. s The images white balance data will be imported and the menu will reappear.
If the exposure obtained in step 3 is underexposed or overexposed, a correct white balance might not be obtained. If an image was captured while the processing parameter was set to [B/ W] (p.59), it cannot be selected in step 5. Instead of a white object, an 18% gray card (commercially available) can produce a more accurate white balance.

When setting the color temperature for an articial light source, set white balance correction (magenta or green bias) as necessary. If you want to set <P> to the reading taken with a color temperature meter, take test shots and adjust the setting to compensate for the difference between the color temperature meters reading and the cameras color temperature reading.
3 White Balance CorrectionN
You can correct the standard color temperature for the white balance setting. This adjustment will have the same effect as using a color temperature conversion or color compensating lter. Each color can be corrected to one of nine levels. Users familiar with using color temperature conversion or color compensating lters will nd this feature handy.

To obtain natural-looking, black-and-white images, set a suitable white balance. JPEG images captured with the parameter set to [B/W] cannot be converted to color with any personal computer software.

Filter effects

The same effect as using lters with black-and-white lm can be obtained with digital images. A color can be brightened by using a lter having a similar or same color. At the same time, the complementary colors will be darkened.
Filter N: None Ye: Yellow Sample effects Normal black-and-white image with no lter effects. The blue sky will look more natural, and the white clouds will look clearer.

Tree leaves will look crisper and brighter.

R: Red

Setting the [Contrast] to the plus side will make the lter effect more pronounced.

Toning Effect

When color toning is set, color toning will be applied to the captured black-and-white image before being recorded to the CF card. It can make the image look more impressive. The following can be selected: [N:None] [S:Sepia] [B:Blue] [P:Purple] [G:Green]

3 File Numbering Methods

The le number is like the frame number on lm. There are two le numbering methods: [Continuous] and [Auto reset]. The images you take are automatically assigned a le number from 0001 to 9999 and saved in a folder (created automatically) that can hold up to 100 images.

Select [File numbering].

Turn the <5> dial to select [c File numbering], then press <0>.

The le numbering continues in sequence even after you replace the CF card. This prevents images from having the same le number, so image management with a personal computer is easier.

One-Shot AF for Still Subjects Pressing the shutter button halfway activates the autofocus and achieves focus once.
s The AF point which achieves focus ashes briey. At the same time, the focus conrmation light <o> in the viewnder is displayed. s With evaluative metering, the exposure setting (shutter speed and aperture) will be set when focus is achieved. The exposure setting and focus will be locked as long as the shutter button is pressed halfway. (p.69) You can then recompose the shot while retaining the exposure setting and point of focus.

Focus conrmation light

If focus cannot be achieved, the focus conrmation light <o> in the viewnder will blink. If this occurs, a picture cannot be taken even if the shutter button is pressed fully. Recompose the picture and try and focus again. Or see When Autofocus Fails (Manual Focusing) (p.70).
AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects While you press the shutter button halfway, the camera focuses continuously.
This AF mode is for moving subjects when the focusing distance keeps changing. s With predictive AF*, the camera can also focus track a subject which steadily approaches or retreats from the camera. s The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.
In a Creative Zone mode (except <8>), the beeper will not sound even when focus is achieved. At the same time, the focus conrmation light <o> in the viewnder will not light.

* About Predictive AF

If the subject approaches or retreats from the camera at a constant rate, the camera tracks the subject and predicts the focusing distance immediately before the picture is taken. This is for obtaining correct focus at the moment of exposure. When the AF point selection is automatic, the camera rst uses the center AF point to focus. During autofocusing, if the subject moves away from the center AF point, focus tracking continues as long as the subject is covered by another AF point. With a manually selected AF point, the selected AF point will focus track the subject.

You can protect the image even after you change the display format to shooting info display, magnied view, or index display after step 1.

LErasing Images

You can erase images individually or erase all the images at one time in the CF card. Only protected images will not be erased. Once an image is erased, it cannot be recovered.
