the subject. 3 Focus the selected AF point over the Aim
subject and press the shutter button halfway to focus.
When shooting a portrait up close, use One-Shot AF and focus the eyes. If you focus the eyes first, you can then recompose and the face will remain sharp. If it is difficult to focus, select and use the center AF point. The center AF point is the most sensitive among the nine AF points. To make it easier to focus a moving subject, set the camera to automatic AF point selection and AI Servo AF (p.84). The center AF point will first be used to focus the subject. 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.
AF-Assist Beam with the Built-in Flash
Under low-light conditions, when you press the shutter button halfway, the built-in flash fires a brief burst of flashes. It illuminates the subject to enable easier autofocusing.
The AF-assist beam will not be fired in the following shooting modes: <7>, <3> and <5>. The AF-assist beam cannot be emitted in the AI Servo AF mode. The effective range of the AF-assist beam emitted by the built-in flash is about 4 meters/13.1 feet. In Creative Zone modes when you raise the built-in flash with the <I> button (p.90), the AF-assist beam will be fired when necessary.
If you use an Extender (sold separately) and the maximum aperture becomes smaller than f/5.6, AF shooting will not be possible (except in [Live mode] and [u Live mode] during Live View shooting). For details, see the Extenders instruction manual.
Subjects Difficult to Focus
Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (viewfinders focus confirmation light <o> blinks) with certain subjects such as the following: Very low-contrast subjects. (Example: Blue sky, solid-color walls, etc.) Subjects in very low light Extremely backlit or reflective subjects (Example: Car with a highly reflective body, etc.) Near and far subjects covered by an AF point (Example: Animal in a cage, etc.) Repetitive patterns (Example: Skyscraper windows, computer keyboards, etc.) In such cases, do one of the following: (1) With One-Shot AF, focus an object at the same distance as the subject and lock the focus before recomposing (p.53). (2) Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually.

Set the Mode Dial to <f>.
picture. 3 Take theand press the shutter button Focus
completely. The picture will be taken with the selected aperture.
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.
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, 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 <6> 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 <6> dial to the right to set a higher aperture f/number or decrease the ISO speed.
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 scenes 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 [3: Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to [1: 1/200-1/60 sec. auto] or [2: 1/200 sec. (fixed)] in [7 Custom Functions (C.Fn)] (p.252).

q Changing the Metering ModeN
Four methods (metering modes) to measure the subjects brightness are provided. Normally, evaluative metering is recommended. In Basic Zone modes, evaluative metering is set automatically.

Select [Metering mode].

Under the [2] tab, select [Metering mode], then press <0>.

then press <0>.

q Evaluative metering
This is an all-around metering mode suited for portraits and even backlit subjects. The camera sets the exposure automatically to suit the scene. w Partial metering Effective when the background is much brighter than the subject due to backlighting, etc. The gray area in the left figure is where the brightness is metered to obtain the standard exposure. r Spot metering This is for metering a specific part of the subject or scene. The gray area in the left figure is where the brightness is metered to obtain the standard exposure. This metering mode is for advanced users. e Center-weighted average metering The brightness is metered at the center and then averaged for the entire scene. This metering mode is for advanced users.
With q, the exposure setting will be locked when you press the shutter button halfway and focus is achieved. With w, r, and e, the exposure setting is set at the moment of exposure. (The exposure setting is not locked when you press the shutter button halfway.)
Setting Exposure CompensationN
O Setting Exposure Compensation
Set exposure compensation if the exposure (without flash) does not come out as desired. This feature can be used in Creative Zone modes (except <a>). You can set the exposure compensation up to 5 stops in 1/3-stop increments. Making it brighter: Hold down the <O> button and turn the <6> dial to the right. (Increased exposure) Making it darker: Hold down the <O> button and turn the <6> dial to the left. (Decreased exposure)
Increased exposure for a brighter image
Decreased exposure for a darker image
As shown in the figure, the exposure level is displayed on the LCD monitor and in the viewfinder. After taking the picture, cancel the exposure compensation by setting it back to 0.

3 Setting the Movie-recording Size
Under the [o] tab, [Movie rec. size] enables you to select the movies image size [****x****] and frame rate [9] (frames recorded per second). The 9 (frame rate) switches automatically depending on the [6 Video system] setting. Image size [1920x1080] : Full High-Definition (Full HD) recording quality. [1280x720] : High-Definition (HD) recording quality. [640x480] : Standard-definition recording quality. The aspect ratio will be 4:3. Frame rate (fps: frames per second) [8] [6] : For areas where the TV format is NTSC (North America, Japan, Korea, Mexico, etc.). [7] [5] : For areas where the TV format is PAL (Europe, Russia, China, Australia, etc.). [4] : Mainly for motion pictures.
When [1920x1080] is set as movie recording size, you can use the digital zoom. For the setting procedure, see page 152.
Total Movie Recording Time and File Size Per Minute Due to limitations of the file system, movie shooting will stop automatically if the file size of a single movie clip reaches 4GB. To resume movie shooting, press the <A> button. (A new movie file starts being recorded.)
Movie-recording Size 6 [1920x1080] [1280x720] [640x480] 11 min. 46 min. 22 min. 1 hr. 32 min. 44 min. 3 hr. 4 min. 330 MB/min. 82.5 MB/min. 11 min. 22 min. 44 min. 330 MB/min. Total Recording Time (approx.) 4GB Card 8GB Card 16GB Card File Size (approx.)
An increase of the cameras internal temperature may cause movie shooting to stop before the maximum recording time shown in the table above (p.163). The maximum recording time of one movie clip is 29 min. 59 sec. Depending on the subject and the increase in the cameras internal temperature, the movie shooting might stop sooner than 29 min. 59 sec. With ZoomBrowser EX/ImageBrowser (provided software, p.302), you can extract still photos from a movie. The still image quality will be as follows: Approx. 2.1 megapixels at [1920x1080], approx. 920,000 pixels at [1280x720], and approx. 310,000 pixels at [640x480].

Playback and TV connection
If the brightness changes during autoexposure movie shooting, that part might look momentarily still when you playback the movie. In such cases, shoot movies with manual exposure. If you connect the camera to a TV set with an HDMI cable (p.218) and shoot a movie in [1920x1080] or [1280x720], the movie being shot will be displayed at a small size on the TV. However, the actual movie will be properly recorded at the movie recording size that was set. If you connect the camera to a TV set (p.218, 221) and shoot a movie, the TV will not output any sound during the shooting. However, the sound will be properly recorded.

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-curtain 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 Speedlite is attached, you can also set [Hi-speed] (e). For details, see the Speedlites instruction manual. Wireless flash See Wireless Flash Photography on page 189. Flash exposure compensation See y Flash Exposure Compensation on page 104. Flash mode You can select the flash mode to suit your desired flash shooting. [E-TTL II] is the standard mode of EX-series Speedlites for automatic flash shooting. [Manual flash] is for advanced users who want to set the [Flash output] (1/1 to 1/128) themselves. Regarding other flash modes, refer to your Speedlites instruction manual.

If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts, do not touch the internal parts due to the possibility of electrical shock. Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. High-voltage internal parts can cause electrical shock. Do not look at the sun or an extremely bright light source through the camera or lens. Doing so may damage your vision. Keep the camera from the reach of small children. The neck strap can accidentally choke the child. Do not store the equipment in dusty or humid places. This is to prevent fire and electrical shock. Before using the camera inside an airplane or hospital, check if it is allowed. Electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the planes instruments or the hospitals medical equipment. To prevent fire and electrical shock, follow the safeguards below: - Always insert the power plug all the way in. - Do not handle a power plug with wet hands. - When unplugging a power plug, grasp and pull the plug instead of the cord. - Do not scratch, cut, or excessively bend the cord or put a heavy object on the cord. Also do not twist or tie the cords. - Do not connect too many power plugs to the same power outlet. - Do not use a cord whose insulation has been damaged. Occasionally unplug the power plug and use a dry cloth to clean off the dust around the power outlet. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power outlet may become moist and short-circuit the outlet to cause a fire.
Preventing Injury or Equipment Damage
Do not leave equipment inside a car under the hot sun or near a heat source. The equipment may become hot and cause skin burns. Do not carry the camera around while it is attached to a tripod. Doing so may cause injury. Also make sure the tripod is sturdy enough to support the camera and lens. Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera under the sun without the lens cap attached. Otherwise, the lens may concentrate the suns rays and cause a fire. Do not cover or wrap the battery-recharging apparatus with a cloth. Doing so may trap heat within and cause the casing to deform or catch fire. If you drop the camera in water or if water or metal fragments enter inside the camera, promptly remove the battery pack and back-up battery. This is to prevent fire and electrical shock. Do not use or leave the battery pack or back-up battery in a hot environment. Doing so may cause battery leakage or a shorter battery life. The battery pack or back-up battery can also become hot and cause skin burns. Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the equipment. Doing so may cause fire or a health hazard.
