q When the DC coupler is connected to the compact power adapter, the adapter cannot be used to charge battery packs. q Do not charge any battery packs other than model BP-511. q When the battery pack is in the camera, it discharges slightly over time even when the camera is not used. This reduces the battery packs operating time. When not using the camera, remove the battery pack and store it with its protective cover attached. Always be sure to charge the battery pack before using it again. q To protect battery packs and prevent loss of capacity, do not charge them continuously for more than 24 hours. q If operating time is sharply reduced even after charging normally, the battery pack may have exceeded its useful life. Replace it with a new battery pack. q The adapter can hold and charge two battery packs. Charging starts with the first battery pack attached. After that battery pack is charged, the charge lamp goes on and the adapter starts charging the second battery pack. After charging of both battery packs is completed (both charge lamps are on), leave both battery packs in the charger for two more hours (one hour per battery pack) to reach a full charge. q Charging time depends on the ambient temperature, and the level to which the battery pack is already charged. q When battery power is low, the icon on the LCD panel blinks. Remove the battery pack from the camera and charge it. q The battery pack can operate in temperatures from 0C to 40C (32F to 104F), however for full operating performance, use between 10C (50F) and 30C (86F) is recommended. In cold locations such as ski areas, battery performance is temporarily decreased and operating time may be reduced.

q Slide the lever in the direction shown by the arrow in the diagram, and open the cover as shown.

1 Before You Begin

Load the battery into the camera.
q Make sure the battery pack is facing the right way, and insert it into the battery chamber. q Insert the battery pack until it locks into place.

Close the cover.

q Press the cover closed until it clicks shut.
The level of charge remaining is shown in three stages when the Main Switch is set to ON. (33)
Battery Charge Remaining Icons
: Charge is sufficient. : Charge is low. : Battery pack must be charged.
If the level of charge remaining runs out when you are using the menu screen or playing back an image, a no battery warning appears on the LCD monitor. When this occurs, remove the battery and charge it.

If the camera cannot focus, the in-focus indicator (q) in the viewfinder blinks. If this happens, you will not be able to take a picture even if you press the shutter button down fully. Instead, reframe the shot and focus again. See also, Manual Focus (63).
AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects
Press and hold the shutter button down halfway, and the camera focuses continuously.
q This mode is suited for moving subjects when the focusing distance keeps changing. q With its predictive AF function, the camera can also track a subject that is steadily approaching or retreating from the camera. q The exposure settings are determined immediately before the picture is taken. If the in-focus indicator q in the viewfinder blinks, the camera has not focused.
You can set the camera so that during AI Servo AF operation, you can press the button and the focus will momentarily lock as long as the button is held down. (C. Fn-2-2124)

About Predictive AF

When a subject is approaching or retreating from the camera at a constant rate, the focusing function can track the subject and predict the focusing distance immediately before the picture is taken so that the shot will be in focus at the moment of exposure. q When the focusing point is selected automatically, the camera uses one of three focusing points to focus on the subject. Tracking and predictive focusing is carried out using the selected focusing point. q When the focusing point is selected manually (61), the selected focusing point tracks the subject.

AI Focus AF

AI Focus AF is set automatically in (Full Auto) mode. At the time of the shot, the camera automatically selects One-shot AF and AI Servo AF according to the state of the subject. If the subject is focused in One-shot AF and the subject then begins to move continuously, the camera detects the movement, automatically switches to AI Servo AF, and focuses continuously as it tracks the subject.

Focusing Point Selection

The focusing point is the frame in which the subject is focused. The focusing point can be selected automatically or manually. In the Easy Shooting zone and in mode, the selection is automatic, but in , , , and modes you can switch between automatic and manual focusing point selection. Automatic selection AF: The camera selects the focusing point automatically according to conditions. Manual selection AF: You can select any of the three focusing points manually. This is best when you want to be sure to focus on a particular subject, or to use the speed of the AF focusing function to help you compose a particular shot quickly.

Custom White Balance Setting
Custom white balance lets you set the white balance yourself by photographing a white subject to use as the basis for the cameras white balance, and then selecting that picture for use as white balance data.

Partial metering zone

Photograph a white subject.
q Take a picture of a white subject, just as you would take a normal picture. q Frame the shot so that the white subject fills the entire partial metering zone in the viewfinder. q This picture can be taken using any mode (20).
From the menu, select [Custom WB].
q Press the MENU button. q Turn the dial to select [Custom WB], then press the button.

Select the image.

q Turn the dial to select the picture you took in step 1, then press the button. q When the setting is entered, the screen returns to the menu. q Press the MENU button to clear the screen and exit the menu.
Select the white balance.
q Turn the dial to select [ ]. The custom white balance is entered.
q For best results, use subjects such as plain white paper for white balance basis. q White balance data is loaded from the partial metering zone (19). q You can store white subjects photographed under various conditions on the CF card, then select these images as needed for the [Custom WB] function as an easy way of setting the ideal white balance for any lighting conditions. q The default setting for is the same as the default setting for .

Program AE

Like (Full Auto) mode, this is a general-purpose picture-taking mode. The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture value to suit the scenes brightness. This is called Program AE. stands for Program * * AE stands for Auto Exposure
q Press the shutter button down halfway. When the camera has focused, the focusing point indicator and the in-focus indicator in the viewfinder light at the same time.
The shutter speed and aperture value are determined automatically, and displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel. q If the shutter speed and aperture values are not blinking, the exposure is correct. q If either is blinking, see Exposure Warnings (134).

Set the Quick Control Dial switch to ON. Focus on the subject, then check the exposure level.
q Press the shutter button down halfway and check the display. ( 4 )

Select the exposure.

q Turn the dial. q Turn the dial while pressing the shutter button down halfway, or within ( 4 ) seconds of pressing the shutter button down halfway. q Positions on the [+] side indicate overexposure, and positions on the [-] side indicate underexposure.

Overexposure

Underexposure
q Once set, the exposure compensation remains in memory after the Main Switch is set to OFF. q To cancel exposure compensation, return the compensation setting to the standard exposure position .
q To prevent the dial from turning inadvertently and changing the exposure compensation, enter the setting and then set the Quick Control Dial switch to OFF. q In M (Manual) mode, because you determine the exposure (the combination of shutter speed and aperture) yourself, the exposure compensation function does not operate. You can set the camera so that you can set the exposure compensation amount in 1/3-stop increments. (C.Fn-4 124)

Autoexposure Bracketing

When using autoexposure bracketing, the camera automatically changes the exposure level within the set range (up to 2 stops in 1/2-stop increments) for three successive frames. This is called AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing). The three bracketed shots are exposed in the selected drive mode (67) in the following order: correct exposure, underexposure, and overexposure.

Correct exposure (0)

Underexposure (-1.0)

Overexposure (+1.0)

:Correct exposure :Underexposure
From the menu, select [AEB].
q Press the MENU button. q Turn the dial to select [AEB], then press the button.

Set the AEB level.

q Turn the dial to set the AEB level you want, then press the button. q The AEB setting is entered, and the display returns to the Menu. q Press the MENU button to clear the screen and exit the menu.
q When using continuous shooting, press and hold the shutter button down fully to take all three bracketed shots continuously, and then stop automatically. q When using AEB with the self-timer, the camera takes the three bracketed shots in succession after the 10-second timer delay.

:Overexposure

Canceling AEB
q Follow steps 1 and 2 to set the AEB level to . q AEB will be automatically cancelled when the Main Switch is set to OFF, the lens is changed, the flash is charged, the battery pack or the CF card is replaced.
q Neither flash nor bulb exposures can be used in AEB mode. q If you set mirror lockup with C.Fn-3-1 and then use AEB, single-frame shooting takes effect even if the drive mode is set to continuous shooting. q To indicate that AEB is in progress, the AEB icon on the LCD panel and the indicator in the viewfinder blink until all three bracketed shots have been taken. q During continuous shooting, no viewfinder information is displayed. q In manual exposure mode, AEB is applied by changing the shutter speed. q You can use AEB in combination with exposure compensation. In this case, if exposure compensation causes the exposure to fall outside the indicated exposure level, the display looks as follows. In all cases the exposures are taken according to the settings. In , , and modes

: AEB set to 1 stop. : With exposure compensation of 1 stop : With exposure compensation of 1.5 stops : With exposure compensation of 2 stops In mode : Center exposure 2 stops from correct exposure : Center exposure more than 2 stops from correct exposure
q You can change the AEB settings in 1/3-stop increments. (C.Fn-4 124) In this case, the AEB indicator on the LCD panel looks like this. AEB settings in 1/3-stop increments : -1/3 AEB settings in 2/3-stop increments : -2/3 :+2/3 :+1/3
q You can change the sequence to underexposure, correct exposure, or overexposure. (C.Fn-7 126)

AE Lock

AE lock enables you to lock the exposure at a place other than the point of focus. After locking the exposure, you can recompose the shot while maintaining the exposure level. This feature is useful for backlit and spotlighted subjects. q The effects of the AE lock depend on the focusing point and metering method selected. (135)
Focus on the point on which you want to lock the exposure reading.
The exposure value is displayed in the viewfinder.
q The icon lights in the viewfinder to indicate that the exposure setting is locked. ( 4 ) q Each time you press the button, the current exposure setting is locked.

Self-timer Operation
The self-timer is convenient for group photographs. You can use it in any Easy Shooting mode or Creative mode. We recommend using a tripod when you use the self-timer.

Select the self-timer.

q Press the DRIVE button ( the dial to select .

6 ), and turn

q Make sure the in-focus indicator q and the exposure setting are displayed.
q Press the shutter button down fully. The beep sounds as the red-eye reduction lamp operates, and the picture is taken after 10 seconds. First 8 seconds: Slow beeps and the lamp blinks slowly. Last 2 seconds: Faster beeps and the lamp stays on. While the self-timer is operating, the LCD panel shows the number of seconds remaining until the picture is taken. q To cancel the self-timer, press the DRIVE button.
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 on the subject. q You can set the beep that indicates the subject is in focus and the beep that indicates the self-timer is operating to On or Off. (120) q When using the self-timer to photograph only yourself, lock the focus (62) on an object at about the same distance as where you will be. q You can use the Remote Switch RS-80N3 (sold separately) or Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 (sold separately) to take a picture when you are away from the camera.

Flash Sync Shutter Speed and Aperture Settings
Mode Sync shutter speed Automatically set from 1/200 to 1/60 second. Manually set to speeds slower than 1/200 second. Automatically set (1/200 to 30 sec.) for the metered brightness, according to the aperture value. Manually set to speeds slower than 1/200 second. Aperture Value Automatically set by the E-TTL program. Automatically set for the metered brightness, according to the shutter speed setting.

4 Flash Photography

Manually set as desired.
q When using an EX-series Speedlite (96), press the built-in flash back into the camera before mounting the external flash. q When using the built-in flash, keep at least 1 m/3.3 ft away from the subject. Otherwise the lens barrel may partially obstruct the flash and cause part of the photo to look dark. q When using the built-in flash, detach any hood from the lens to keep it from obstructing flash coverage. q Using the built-in flash with any of the following lenses can partially obstruct the flash coverage. Instead, use an EOS-dedicated external flash. Large-aperture lenses, including the EF17-35mm F2.8L USM, EF28-70mm F2.8L USM. Super-telephoto lenses, including the EF300mm F2.8L IS USM and EF600mm F4L IS USM. q The built-in flash can cover the picture area for lenses with focal lengths as short as 18 mm. If you use a lens shorter than 18 mm, the photo will be dark around the edges. q q q q The E in E-TTL stands for Evaluative. To retract the built-in flash, press it back down into the camera. You cannot use the built-in flash to set high-speed sync (FP flash). In or mode, if you set the shutter speed faster than 1/200 second, the camera will automatically reset it to 1/200 unless the EX-series Speedlite has been set for high-speed sync. q AF flash exposure is always based on the aperture value at the time the shot is taken, and controlled by E-TTL automatic flash compensation linked to the active focusing point and weighted for the main subject. q The built-in flash and external flash cannot be used at the same time. q For subjects that are difficult to focus, the AF-assist light (43) automatically projects a beam of light at the subject.
You can set the Shutter curtain sync to 2nd-curtain sync. (C.Fn-8-1126)

Red-eye Reduction

When you use flash in low-light conditions, it can reflect off your subjects pupils and make their eyes look red in the photograph. This effect is called red-eye, and is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the retina of the eye. The Red-eye reduction function uses the cameras redeye reduction lamp, which gently shines into the subjects eyes to constrict the pupils and thereby reduces the likelihood that red-eye will occur. You can use red-eye reduction in any picture-taking mode except and modes.

Image Information Displayed During PLAY

Auto Exposure is a function that calculates the exposure automatically. The camera has a builtin exposure meter that automatically determines the correct exposure (the combination of shutter speed and aperture value).
Auto Focus is a function that focuses the camera automatically.

Aperture value

The lens aperture opens and closes to control the amount of light that reaches the imaging element. The aperture value (or f-number) is equal to the focal length divided by the aperture diameter. The aperture value is displayed on the cameras LCD panel and in the viewfinder, and ranges from 1.0 to 91, depending on the particular lens mounted on the camera.

CF (CompactFlash) Card

CompactFlash card is the storage media used to record photo images taken by the EOS D30.

Depth of Field

When a subject is in focus, a distance in front of and behind the subject is also in focus. This is called the depth of field. The greater the aperture value (that is, the smaller the aperture), the broader the depth of the field. This is called a deeper depth of field. Conversely, the smaller the aperture value (larger aperture), the narrower the depth of field, called a shallower depth of field.
The depth of field is affected as described below:
q A smaller aperture (larger aperture value) increases the depth of field. Thus, reducing the aperture provides a deeper depth of field. w At a given subject distance and aperture value, a lens with a shorter focal length increases the depth of field. Thus, a wide-angle lens gives a deeper depth of field than does a telephoto lens. e At a given aperture value, a greater distance between the camera and subject increases the depth of field. r When the optimum focus is on the subject, the depth of field behind the point of optimum focus is longer than the depth of field in front of the point of optimum focus. The depth of field is normally twice as deep behind the subject as before the subject (see illustration).
Depth of field Point of optimum focus
Aperture value set to f/22
Aperture value set to f/2
Digital Print Order Format is a standard format for ordering prints of digital camera images from photo lab printing services, as well as printing from household printers. The Canon EOS D30 is DPOF-compatible. You can specify printing from the camera itself and store the order information on the CF card. Photo printing services or household printers using the DPOF format can then produce prints easily using that information.
