Handling Cautions

Camera Care and Storage
The camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical shock. The camera is not waterproof and should not be used in wet conditions or underwater. If the camera gets wet, take it to your nearest Canon dealer as soon as possible. If small amounts of water splash onto the camera, wipe it with a clean dry cloth. If the camera is exposed to salty air, wipe it thoroughly with a slightly damp cloth. Do not leave the camera in places prone to excessive heat such as in a car on a sunny day. Excessive heat can cause the camera to malfunction. The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to disassemble the camera. Use only a blower brush to blow away any dust on the lens, eyepiece, mirror, focusing screen, film compartment, etc. Do not clean the camera body or lens with any cleaner containing an organic solvent. For stubborn dirt, consult your nearest Canon dealer. The shutter curtains are extremely thin. Use only a blower to clean them. Be careful not to blow air too forcefully on the shutter curtains. The shutter curtains can be easily deformed or damaged. Also, when loading and unloading film, be careful not to touch the shutter curtains. Do not touch the electrical contacts with your fingers. Otherwise corrosion may develop on the contacts, resulting in improper camera operation. If the camera is not to be used for an extended period, remove the batteries. Store the camera in a well-ventilated, cool, dry place. During storage, press the shutter button once in a while to release the shutter a few times. Avoid storing the camera in a laboratory, cabinet, etc., where corrosive chemicals are present. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is an important shoot, have the camera checked by your Canon dealer beforehand, or check for yourself that the camera components are working properly.

If you want to zoom, do it before focusing. Turning the zooming ring after achieving focus may throw off the focus. If the built-in flashs pop-up operation is obstructed, the <r> icon will blink on the LCD panel. Press the shutter button halfway to resolve the problem. When focus is achieved, the autofocus and auto exposure setting will also be locked. If the focus confirmation light <n> blinks, the picture cannot be taken. (p.51) Out of the seven AF points, the one covering the closest subject is selected automatically to achieve focus. If multiple AF points flash in red simultaneously, it indicates that all those AF points have achieved focus. In the Basic Zone modes (except <I> <P> ), the built-in flash will pop up and fire automatically in low-light or backlit conditions. To retract the flash, push it back down.
AF-Assist beam with the Built-in Flash
Under low-light conditions, the built-in flash fires a brief burst of flashes when you press the shutter button halfway. This is to illuminate the subject to enable easier autofocusing.
The AF-assist beam does not function in the <I> <P> modes. The built-in flashs AF-assist beam is effective up to about 4 meters/13.1 feet. In the Creative Zone modes, if the built-in flash is popped up, the AF-assist light will emitted when necessary.
Programmed Image Control Modes
Select a shooting mode to suit the target subject, and the camera will be set to obtain the best results.

As much as possible, focus the subject at the
lens closest focusing distance.
To obtain a larger magnification, use the
telephoto end of a zoom lens.
For serious close-up shots, optional EOSs This
dedicated macro lenses are recommended. automatically sets the AF mode to <4>, the film advance mode to <J> (single-frame shooting), and the metering mode to <Z>.

P Sports

This is for fast-moving subjects when you want to freeze the action.
The camera will first track the subject with the
center AF point. Focus tracking will then continue with any of the seven AF points covering the subject. While you hold down the shutter button, focusing will continue for continuous shooting. Using a telephoto lens and ISO 400 or higher speed film is recommended. The focus confirmation light will not light even when focus is achieved. s This automatically sets the AF mode to <5>, the film advance mode to <H>, and the metering mode to <Z>.

Night Portrait

This mode is for taking pictures of people at twilight or at night. The flash illuminates the subject while a slow sync speed obtains a natural-looking exposure of the background.
If you want to photograph only a night scene
(without people), use the <I> mode instead.
Tell the subject to keep still even after the flash

fires.

automatically sets the AF mode to <4>, the film advance mode to <J> (single-frame shooting), and the metering mode to <Z>.
A blinking shutter speed indicates that the shutter speed is too slow to prevent a blurred picture caused by camera shake. Hold the camera steady and press the shutter button smoothly, or use a tripod. (The shutter speed indicator still blinks when you use a tripod, but camera shake will not be a problem.) In the <A> mode, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
FUsing Red-eye Reduction (with the built-in flash)
When flash is used in a low-light environment, the subjects eyes may come out red in the photograph. Red eye happens when the light from the flash reflects off the retina of the eyes. The cameras red-eye reduction feature turns on the red-eye reduction lamp to shine a gentle light into the subjects eyes to narrow the pupil diameter or iris. A smaller pupil reduces the chances of red eye from occurring. Red-eye reduction can be set in any shooting mode except <I> <P>.

When you press the shutter button halfway, the red-eye reduction lamp-on indicator will appear in viewfinder and on the LCD panel. Red-eye reduction will not work unless the Red-eye reduction subject looks at the red-eye reduction lamp. Tell lamp-on indicator the subject to look at the lamp. For maximum effectiveness, press the shutter button fully after the red-eye reduction lamp turns off (after 1.5 sec.). You can take a picture even while the red-eye reduction lamp is lit. The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies depending on the subject. To further increase the effectiveness of red-eye reduction, go to a brighter environment or move closer to the subject.

qUsing the Self-timer

You can use self-timer in any Basic Zone mode or Creative Zone mode. We recommend using a tripod when you use the self-timer.

same as with the <Y> Full Auto mode on page 28. Look through the viewfinder and press the shutter button fully to start the self-timer. sThe picture will be taken about 10 sec. later. During the first 8 seconds, the beeper beeps slowly and the red-eye reduction lamp flashes. During the final 2 seconds, the beeper beeps faster and the red-eye reduction lamp stays lit. sDuring the self-timer operation, the LCD panel counts down the seconds until the picture is taken.
Do not stand in front of the camera when you press the shutter button to start the self-timer. Doing so prevents the camera from focusing the subject. To cancel the self-timer after it starts, set the film advance mode lever to <J> (single-frame shooting) or <H>. When using the self-timer to take a picture of only yourself, first lock the focus (p.50) on an object at the same distance where you will be in the picture. The self-timer beeper can be silenced. (p.74)

Using the Eyepiece Cover

When using the self-timer or optional wireless remote control, you should use the eyepiece cover (p.17) to prevent stray light from entering the eyepiece and affecting the exposure reading.

e Eye Control Calibration (m Model only)
With Eye Control, the camera detects which AF point your eye is looking at. That AF point is then selected and used to focus the subject.

Calibration Procedure

Before using Eye Control, you must calibrate the camera so that it can correctly detect the movements of your eye looking through the eyepiece. To calibrate it, look at the blinking AF point, then press the shutter button. You must calibrate it for both the horizontal and vertical camera orientations. The camera can save up to five calibration settings. To maximize the calibration precision, read Eye Control Calibration and Operation Tips on page 46. Before starting, complete any necessary dioptric adjustment. (p.25) While calibrating the camera, do not take your eye off the eyepiece. e stands for calibration.

procedure, and you can now use Eye Control (p.48) to take pictures.
If the camera does not detect your eye movement properly during the calibration, the beeper will sound and the CAL No. will blink on the LCD panel. In such a case, press the shutter button and start from step 3. If you do the calibration procedure only for the horizontal orientation, Eye Control during vertical picture-taking might not be so accurate. Be sure to also complete the calibration procedure for the vertical orientation. If you interrupt the calibration procedure, wait until the AF point in the viewfinder stops blinking, then start over from step 3. If the calibration does not go well, see Eye Control Calibration Operation Tips (p.46). If the beeper setting (p.74) is set to W, the beeper will not sound.
e Eye Control Calibration (m Model only) Eye Control Calibration and Operation Tips
Hold the camera as you always do while looking through the viewfinder. Look through the viewfinder so you can see all four corners of the viewfinder. Avoid squinting or blinking your eye. When using Eye Control, look through the eyepiece in the same way you did during the calibration. During the calibration procedure, keep looking (without moving your eye) at the blinking AF point until it lights and the beeper sounds. Keep both eyes open while looking through the viewfinder. If you wear eyeglasses, wear them properly without having them slide down your nose. Eye Control calibration and operation might not be possible in the following cases: When you wear bifocal eyeglasses or hard contact lenses. You wear mirror-type sunglasses or other specially-coated glasses. Your eye is too far away from the eyepiece due to eyeglasses, etc. Your eye is too close to the viewfinder.

Intelligent Eye Control

You can repeat the calibration procedure under different conditions such as when you are outdoors, indoors, or at night. The camera can save these additional calibration settings under the same CAL No. By accumulating more calibration settings, the camera can provide more precise Eye Control.

Two or more users must not share the same CAL No. Each user should have his or her own CAL No. If necessary, delete the calibration settings saved under another CAL No. to store another users calibration settings. (p.47)
Deleting Eye Control Calibration Settings
If you want to save new calibration settings under a CAL No. that already has calibration settings, follow the procedure below to first delete the previous calibration settings. You can then do the calibration procedure and save the new calibration settings under that CAL No.

If the camera fails to detect which AF point you are looking at, the <m> icon in the viewfinder will blink and automatic AF point selection will take effect. If Eye Control does not work well, check if you are using the correct CAL No. and see Eye Control Calibration and Operation Tips on page 46.

Eye Control Servo AF

When you use Eye Control in the AI Servo AF mode (or AI Focus AF set to AI Servo AF), you can focus a moving subject continuously just by looking at it. This is called Eye Control Servo AF. If the subject focused with Eye Control starts to move, you can continue to focus-track the subject with your eye by looking at the next AF point covering the subject while holding down the shutter button halfway.

During manual focusing, evaluative metering is based on the center AF point. If the subject brightness and background light level are very different (strong backlight or spotlight), partial metering (X) is recommended instead.

XPartial metering

This is effective for backlit subjects. An area covering about 10% of the viewfinder screen at the center is used for metering. The partial metering area is shown on the left.
CCenter-weighted averaging metering
The metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for the entire scene.
Partial metering and FE lock can be linked to the active AF point. (See page 87 for C.Fn-08-1.)

About Program Shift

In the Program AE mode, you can freely change the shutter speed and aperture value combination (program) set by the camera while retaining the same exposure. This is called program shift. To shift the program, press the shutter button halfway and turn the <l> dial until the desired shutter speed or aperture value is displayed. Program shift is canceled automatically after the picture is taken. Program shift cannot be set when the built-in flash is used.

If the slowest shutter speed blinks, it indicates underexposure. In such a case, turn the <l> dial to set a larger aperture value (smaller f/number) until the shutter speed display stops blinking. If the fastest shutter speed blinks, it indicates overexposure. In such a case, turn the <l> dial to set a smaller aperture value (larger f/number) until the shutter speed display stops blinking.

Aperture Value Display

The larger the f/number, the smaller the diaphragm will be. The aperture value display will differ depending on the lens. When no lens is attached to the camera, Q will be display for the aperture value.

Depth-of-field Preview

Press the depth-of-field preview button to stop down to the current aperture setting. The diaphragm in the lens will be set to the current aperture so you can check the depth of field (range of acceptable focus) through the viewfinder.
This feature can be used in the Creative Zone. While you press the depth-of-field preview button, the exposure will also be locked (AE lock).

W Manual Exposure

In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture as desired. To determine the exposure, refer to the exposure level indicator in the viewfinder or use a handheld exposure meter. This method is called manual exposure. In the <W> mode, the center-weighted averaging metering will be set automatically. <W> stands for Manual.

Q Depth-of-field AE

The depth-of-field AE mode is for obtaining wide depth of field between a near and far subject. It is effective for group shots and landscapes. The optimum point of focus, aperture, and shutter speed are set automatically to obtain the desired depth of field. For DEP, you can specify the AF points manually or with Eye Control AF.

AF Mode and Film Advance Mode Combination

Film Advance Mode

One-Shot AF
AI Servo AF The subject is focustracked for continuous autofocus. The exposure is set when the picture is taken.
AI Focus AF Automatically switches between One Shot AF and AI Servo AF according to the subject status.
The picture cannot be taken until focus is achieved. When focus is achieved, it also locks at the same J time. The evaluative (Single frame) meterings exposure setting is also locked. (The exposure setting is retained until the picture is taken.)

(Continuous)

The same conditions above apply during continuous shooting. (approx. 4 frames per sec.)
The same conditions above apply during continuous shooting. (approx. 3.5 frames per sec.)

Program Line

The program line below applies when the camera is used in the <S> Program AE mode with an EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 lens.

Program Line Description

The bottom horizontal axis represents the shutter speed and the right vertical axis represents the aperture value. On the left edge and top edge of the graph, the Exposure Value (EV) is indicated for the respective shutter speed and aperture value combination set by the Program AE mode and denoted by the program line. Example: When the 105mm focal length is used and the subject brightness is EV 12, the point where the diagonal line from EV 12 (on the top edge of the graph) intersects the program line indicates the corresponding shutter speed (1/125 sec.) and aperture value (f/5.6) which the program sets automatically. The arrowhead lines above the graph indicate the metering range for the respective film speed.

How the Shutter Button Works
The EOS cameras shutter button can be depressed halfway or all the way. There is a click stop at the halfway point.
Pressing the Shutter Button Halfway or Fully
The shutter button works as described below.
When it is pressed halfway:
Autofocusing (AF) is activated. When
the subject is in focus, the AF point which achieved focus will flash, the beeper will sound, and the focus confirmation light will light up. Also, the shutter speed and aperture are set and displayed on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder.
When it is pressed fully:
The shutter is released to take the
picture and the film advances by one frame.
If an Extender is used and the maximum aperture of the lens becomes smaller than f/5.6 (the lowest f/number), autofocusing will not operate. Camera movement during the moment of exposure is called camera shake. Camera shake can cause blurred pictures. To prevent blurred pictures due to camera shake: Hold the camera steady (page 20). Use your finger tip to touch the shutter button, grasp the camera with your entire right hand, then press the shutter button gently.

Loading and Unloading Film

Loading Film

After you load the film, the camera first winds the entire roll onto the cameras take-up spool. With DX-coded film, the camera automatically sets the films ISO speed. Then each time a picture is taken, one frame of film is rewound back into the film cartridge. The frame counter shows always number of shots remaining.

The camera will then make a shutter-release sound and the < > icon and total frame count will be displayed. During the films prewind, the ISO speed is displayed on the LCD panel.

AF-Assist beam with the Built-in Flash
Under low-light conditions, the built-in flash fires a brief burst of flashes when you press the shutter button halfway. This is to illuminate the subject to enable easier autofocusing.
The AF-assist beam does not function in the < >, < > and < > modes. The built-in flashs AF-assist beam is effective up to about 4 meters/13.2 feet. In the Creative Zone modes when the built-in flash is popped up with the < > button, the AF-assist beam may be emitted.

Page 24

Programmed Image Control Modes
Select a shooting mode to suit the target subject, and the camera will be set to obtain the best results.

Portrait

This mode blurs the background to make the human subject stand out.
Holding down the shutter button executes continuous shooting. To improve the background blur, use a telephoto lens and fill the frame with the subject or have the subject stand farther away from the background.

Landscape

This is for wide scenic views, night scenes, etc.
Using a wide-angle lens will further enhance the depth and breadth of the picture.

Close-up

Use this mode to take close-up shots of flowers, insects, etc.
As much as possible, focus the subject at the lens closest focusing distance. To obtain a larger magnification, use the telephoto end of a zoom lens. For better close-ups, an EOS-dedicated macro lens and Macro Ring Lite (both optional) are recommended.

Page 25

Sports
This is for sports and fast-moving subjects when you want to freeze the action on film.
The camera will first track the subject with the center AF point. Focus tracking will then continue with any of the seven AF points covering the subject. When focus is achieved, the beeper will sound softly. While you hold down the shutter button, focusing will continue for continuous shooting. Using a telephoto lens and ISO 400 or higher speed film is recommended.

Night Portrait

This mode is for taking pictures of people at twilight or at night.The flash illuminates the subject while a slow sync speed obtains a natural-looking exposure of the background.
If you want to photograph only a night scene (without people), use the < > mode instead. Tell the subject to keep still even after the flash fires. If you also use the self-timer (page 27), the self-timer lamp will flash to indicate that the picture was taken.

Flash off

You can disable the flash when you do not want it to fire.
The built-in flash or any external Speedlite will not fire.

In the < <

> mode, use a tripod to prevent camera shake. In the <

> or

> mode, use a tripod if the shutter speed display blinks.

Using Red-eye Reduction (with the built-in flash)
When flash is used in a low-light environment, the subjects eyes may come out red in the photograph. Red eye happens when the light from the flash reflects off the retina of the eyes. The cameras red-eye reduction feature turns on the red-eye reduction lamp to shine a gentle light into the subjects eyes to narrow the pupil diameter or iris. A smaller pupil reduces the chances of red eye from occurring. Red-eye reduction can be set in any shooting mode except < >, < > and < >.

When red-eye reduction is enabled,
the red-eye reduction lamp-on indicator will be displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel when you press the shutter button halfway. To cancel red-eye reduction, set on the LCD panel.
Red-eye reduction lamp-on indicator
Red-eye reduction will not work unless the subject looks at the red-eye reduction lamp. Tell the subject to look at the lamp. For maximum effectiveness, take the picture after the red-eye reduction lamp turns off (after 1.5 sec.). You can take a picture even while the red-eye reduction lamp is lit. The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies depending on the subject. To further increase the effectiveness of red-eye reduction, go to a brighter environment or move closer to the subject.

same as with the < > Full Auto mode on page 22. Look through the viewfinder and press the shutter button fully to start the self-timer. When you press the shutter button fully, the beeper will sound and the picture will be taken 10 sec. later. During the first 8 sec., the beeper beeps slowly and the self-timer lamp blinks slowly. During the final 2 sec., the beeper beeps quickly and the self-timer lamp blinks quickly. Also, the self-timer display on the LCD panel counts down in seconds.
Do not stand in front of the camera when you start the self-timer. Doing so will throw off the focus. To cancel the self-timer after it starts, press the < > button again. When using the self-timer to take a picture of only yourself, first lock the focus (page 33) on an object at the same distance where you will be in the picture.

The continuous shooting speed is
approx. 2.5 frames per sec.

Metering Modes

The camera has three metering modes: Evaluative, partial, and centerweighted average metering. Evaluative metering is the standard metering mode. Partial metering is set automatically when AE lock is used (page 44), and centerweighted average metering is set automatically in the < > mode (page 42). Evaluative metering
This is an all-around metering mode suited even for backlit subjects. The viewfinder field is divided into 35 metering zones to which the three AF points are linked for evaluative metering. The camera determines the main subjects size, position, brightness, background, front and back lighting, etc., so that it can select the proper exposure for the subject at all times.

Partial metering

This is particularly effective when the background is much brighter than the subject due to backlighting, etc. This method uses a center area of approximately 9.5% of the screen. The area covered by partial metering is shown on the left.
Centerweighted average metering
The metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for the entire scene.
In the One-Shot AF and AI Focus AF (except AI Servo AF) modes (page 55), when you press the shutter button halfway and focus is achieved, the exposure is locked automatically at the same time.

Page 36

:Program AE
Like the < > (Full Auto) mode, this is a general-purpose mode to make picture-taking easy. It sets the shutter speed and aperture automatically to suit the subjects brightness. P stands for Program. AE stands for auto exposure.

: This is the standard level for a correct exposure. : To achieve the correct exposure, set a faster shutter speed or a smaller aperture. : To achieve the correct exposure, set a slower shutter speed or a larger aperture.

Page 43

:Automatic Depth-of-Field AE
This mode is for obtaining a wide depth of field automatically between a near subject and far subject. It is effective for group photos and landscapes. The camera uses the 7 AF points to detect the nearest and farthest subjects to be in focus. A-DEP stands for Auto-depth of field.

3 Check the viewfinder display and take the picture.
In the example above, the focus will
be sharp between the front person on the left and the rear person on the right.
The < > mode cannot be used if the lens focus mode switch is set to <MF> (or <M> on older lenses). If the aperture blinks, it indicates that the exposure level is correct but the desired depth of field cannot be achieved. Either use a wide-angle lens or move further away from the subjects. In this shooting mode, you cannot freely change the shutter speed and aperture. If the camera sets a slow shutter speed, hold the camera steady or use a tripod. If flash is used, the result will be the same as using flash in the < > mode.

AE Lock
With the same AF point, you can obtain and lock the auto exposure setting on one part of the picture and then recompose to focus a different part of the picture. AE lock enables you to maintain the same exposure setting even after recomposing the shot. This is effective for backlit subjects. During AE lock, partial metering (page 35) is used automatically.

Basic Photography Terms

Exposure
Exposure occurs when the film is exposed to light. Correct exposure is obtained when the film is exposed to a proper amount of light in accordance with the films sensitivity to light. The correct exposure is adjusted with the cameras shutter speed and lens aperture.

Shutter speed

The shutter speed is the length of time the cameras shutter opens to expose the film to the light coming through the lens. The shutter speed is displayed on the cameras LCD panel and in the viewfinder. It ranges from 1/2000 sec. to 30 sec. and bulb.

Aperture

The aperture setting (f/number) indicates the size of the aperture opening in the lens (focal length/aperture diameter). It is used to adjust the amount of light striking the film. The aperture setting is displayed on the cameras LCD panel and in the viewfinder. It can range anywhere from 1.0 to 91, depending on the lens attached to the camera.

ISO film speed

The ISO film speed indicates the films sensitivity to light. The higher the film speed, the more sensitive the film is. Therefore, ISO 400 and higher-speed films are suited for low-light conditions. The ISO film speed is set in accordance with standards set by the International Standardization Organization (ISO). A film speed from 6 to 6400 can be displayed on the LCD panel.

Depth of field

This is the range where acceptable focus can be achieved in front of and behind the point of optimum focus. The smaller the aperture (the larger the f/number), the deeper the depth of field. And the larger the aperture (the smaller the f/number), the shallower the depth of field.
