Batteries

Before installing the batteries, wipe the battery contacts to remove any fingerprints and smudges. This is to prevent faulty connections and corrosion. Never disassemble or recharge the batteries. Also, never store a battery in high-temperature places or short circuit the battery contacts or toss a battery into a fire. Although the batteries work well even at low temperatures, battery performance may decline slightly at freezing temperatures. In such a case, keep spare batteries warm in a pocket, etc., and use and warm the batteries alternately.
How Low Battery Levels Affect Camera Operation
On the LCD panel, if the <r> icon blinks or it is not displayed, a proper exposure can still be obtained as long as the shutter releases. However, when the battery level is low, the film advance and auto rewind might stop midway or not work at all and the <r> icon may blink on the LCD panel. After the batteries are replaced with new ones, film advance will be possible and film rewind can resume by pressing the <6> button.

Lens Electrical Contacts

After detaching the lens from the camera, put on the lens caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.

ONE SHOT : One-Shot AF AI FOCUS : AI Focus AF AI SERVO : AI Servo AF
One-Shot AF for Still Subjects
Pressing the shutter button halfway activates AF operation and achieves focus once.
AF point which achieves focus will flash briefly and the focus confirmation light in the viewfinder will light at the same time. sWith evaluative metering, the exposure setting (shutter speed and Focus confirmation light aperture value) 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.50) You can then recompose the shot while retaining the exposure setting and point of focus.
If focus has not been achieved, the focus confirmation light <n> in the viewfinder will blink. In this case, you cannot take a picture even when you press the shutter button fully. Recompose the shot and try and focus again. Also see When Autofocus Fails (p.51).
AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects
While you press the shutter button halfway, the camera focuses continuously
This AF mode suits moving subjects
when the focusing distance keeps changing. sWith predictive AF, the camera can also focus track a subject which steadily approaches or retreats from the camera. sThe exposure settings are set immediately before the picture is taken.
When focus is achieved, the focus confirmation light <n> in the viewfinder will not light and the beeper will not sound. If the focus confirmation light <n> in the viewfinder blinks, it means focus has not been achieved. Focus lock cannot be used.

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 first uses the center AF point to focus. If the subject moves away from the center AF point, focus tracking continues as long as the subject is covered by another AF point. The active AF point will not flash in red. With a manually selected AF point, the selected AF point is used for predictive AF. In the Eye Control mode, Eye Control Servo AF (p.49) will be used. As long as one of the AF points cover the moving subject, predictive AF will continue to track the subject as you follow it with your eye.

Automatic Selection Automatic Selection

Center AF point selected

C.Fn-10-1 can disable the AF point from flashing in red. (p.87) C.Fn-11-1 enables you to select a AF point directly with the <h> keys without having to press the <3> button first. (p.87) C.Fn-11-2 enables you to select a AF point with the <l> and <u> dials instead of the <h> keys. (p.87) C.Fn-12-1 can make the <3> button switch to the center AF point. (p.88)
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.

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.

Turning Off Eye Control

Turn the Eye Control switch to <2>. The AF point can then be selected automatically or manually.

Focusing Off-Center Subjects
After achieving focus, you can lock the focus on a subject and recompose the shot. This is called focus lock. Focus lock works when the AF mode is set to One Shot AF.

Focus lock also works in the Basic Zone modes (except <P>). Just start from step 3 above.
When Autofocus Fails (Manual Focusing)
Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (the focus confirmation light <n> blinks) with certain subjects such as the following:
Difficult Subjects for Autofocusing
Low-contrast subjects. Example: Blue sky, flat surface with a solid color. Subjects in very low light. Extremely backlit or reflective subjects. Example: Automobile with a strong reflection. Overlapping near and far objects. Example: Animal behind bars in a cage. In such cases, do one of the following: (1)Focus lock an object at the same distance as the subject and recompose. (2)Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually.

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.

R Shutter-Priority AE

In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture value automatically to suit the subject brightness. A fast shutter speed can freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject and a slow shutter speed can blur the subject to give the impression of motion. <R> stands for Time value which is the shutter speed.

Incorporating a host of new features that Canon owners have asked for, the new ELAN 7N/7NE includes a new focusing system for the fastest AF performance in its class, a new backlit display, Canons Whisper Drive technology, and a new distance-based flash metering system, all in a nearly silent, elegant and rugged package. Come explore whats possible with the new EOS ELAN 7N/7NE.
INSPIRED, WITH THE FASTEST AF IN ITS CLASS.

FAST AF PERFORMANCE

Its never been so easy to achieve perfect focus so quickly. A perfect choice for sports and wildlife photographers, the EOS ELAN 7N/7NE shares much of the AF technology found in Canons EOS-1v and EOS 3. This high-speed focus can track quickly moving objects with great precision, and allows for up to four photographs to be taken per second. With performance that rivals leading top-of-the-line SLRs available today, the EOS ELAN 7N/7NE easily has the fastest AF in its class in One Shot AF mode. Improvements in AF data calculation and sequencing mean that moving subjects are tracked better than ever in AI Servo AF. With AI Servo, One Shot and AI Focus modes, the AF system can adapt to any situation. AI Servo AF is perfect for moving subjects. The camera follows the subject continuously until the shutter is released, continuously adjusting focus for sharp results, at speeds rivaling many professional SLRs. The ELAN 7N/7NEs One-Shot AF is suited to portrait or stilllife photography. Once composition is determined, one of the cameras seven focusing sensors quickly focuses on the subject. Unlike cameras with fewer focusing points, the ELAN 7N/7NE allows off-center subjects to be in sharp focus without the need to recompose the image. AI Focus offers control in any situation. In AI Focus, the ELAN 7N/7NE detects if there is subject movement. Then, it automatically selects AI Servo Focus or One-Shot AF as the shooting situation requires.

7-POINT AF

The EOS ELAN 7N/7NEs 7-point Wide-Area Autofocus provides a new level of speed and accuracy in AF. Seven focusing points are arranged in a cross pattern with a central cross-type sensor. This wide area makes it possible for sharp focus to be achieved instantly even when the subject is off-center without the need to recompose the shot. Vertically or horizontally, with stationary or moving objects, in low light and even with low contrast, 7-point Wide-Area Autofocus delivers razor-sharp images. The ELAN 7N/7NEs Focusing Point Selection Keys represent a bold innovation in speed and versatility. Designed for easy and fast action, these keys enable the photographer to immediately select any one of the seven focusing points simply by pressing a button. Its simple, intuitive and remarkably fast. The viewfinder has a Built-in Dioptric Adjustment from -2.5 to +0.5. Adjustments can be made conveniently without removing the cameras attached eyecup. A Depth-of-Field Preview Button enables a fast check of the sharp zone before the shutter is released.

SUPERIOR METERING

The ELAN 7N/7NE uses Canons advanced 35-zone Evaluative Metering for fast, accurate control of shooting environments that combine light and shadow or strong backlight. Precise metering is assured whether shooting in vertical or horizontal positions. Partial Metering measures 10% of the viewfinder at the center or around the chosen focusing point to provide pinpoint accuracy when metering shadows, highlights or subjects against very bright or dark backgrounds. The ELAN 7N/7NE measures the entire scene with Center-Weighted Average Metering while placing greater emphasis on what appears in the center of the frame. It is often the chosen method of experienced photographers.

BUILT-IN FLASH

The EOS ELAN 7N/7NE has a Built-in Flash that pops up and fires automatically in Full-Auto, Portrait, Night Scene and Close-up modes. Automatic exposure controls set aperture, shutter speed and flash intensity. With range to cover as wide as a 28mm lens, the flash has a Guide Number rating of 42.6 (ft., ISO 100). Recycling time is just 2 seconds. A Red-Eye Reduction Lamp fires before the flash for more natural looking portraits.

*Refer to page 17 for compatible lenses providing distance information to the camera.
Speedlites provide Full Range Shooting at high shutter speeds up to 1/4000 sec! FE Lock (Flash Exposure Lock) offers a simple method of combining 10% partial metering of flash illumination something no other SLR in its class can do. Once an EX-series Speedlite is attached, the AE Lock button functions as an FE Lock. Pushing the AE Lock button stores the proper flash exposure data in the cameras memory, the composition can then be fine-tuned and shot without re-metering the scene.

FEB (Flash Exposure Bracketing) is particularly useful when perfect exposure is critical. With a 550EX, Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX or Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX attached to the ELAN 7N/7NE, FEB shoots three shots in a row the first at proper exposure, the next underexposed, the last overexposed in stop increments from to 2 full stops, assuring the correct amount of flash will be recorded.

E-TTL II

Attach any optional EX-series Speedlite to the EOS ELAN 7N/7NE, and open up a host of powerful features and creative possibilities. A new distancebased E-TTL II flash-metering system* means greater flash accuracy than ever before in a 35mm EOS SLR, especially if shooting unusually light or dark subjects or if you have a highly reflective object in the background. Its also effective for shooters who like to lock focus and then re-compose their pictures. E-TTL II remains the only flash system among 35mm SLRs that uses the same sensor to measure both ambient exposure as well as flash, so its ideal for balancing the two for natural fillFP Flash (High-speed Sync) is perfect for freezing motion like drops of a waterfall, for shooting with shallow depth-of-field or for eliminating ambient light to isolate subjects.
