How the Shutter Button Works
The shutter button has two stages. You can press it down halfway or fully. The two levels of shutter button operation are as follows:
When it is pressed halfway:

sPressing

the shutter button down halfway activates autofocusing (AF) and automatic exposure (AE) and the shutter speed and aperture value are set. sThe exposure (the combination of shutter speed and aperture value) appears on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder (0).
When it is pressed fully:
shutter is released to take the picture and the film advances by one frame.
If an Extender (sold separately) is used and the maximum aperture (the lowest f/number) of the lens becomes smaller than f/5.6, autofocusing will not operate. After pressing the shutter button halfway, wait a moment before pressing it completely to take the picture. If you press the shutter button completely at one stroke or right after pressing it halfway, it will take a moment before the picture is taken. 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. Use your finger tip to touch the shutter button, grasp the camera with your entire right hand, then press the shutter button gently. If the AF Mode Dial has been set to <5>, the focus confirmation light <n> will not light. If the AF Mode Dial has been set to <5> and automatic AF point selection is set (p.42), the AF point will not flash in red.

AF Modes and Metering Modes
The viewfinder has seven AF points. You can select the AF point closest to the subject to make it easier and faster to compose the picture. You can also select the AF mode to suit the subject or shooting conditions. Evaluative, partial, and centerweighted averaging metering modes are provided. Set the metering mode to suit shooting conditions and obtain the desired exposure.
The symbol indicates that the respective feature can
be used only in Creative Zone modes (S, R, E, W, Q).

Selecting the AF Mode

The AF mode is the autofocusing method. The camera has three AF modes: 1. One Shot AF for still subjects, 2. AI Servo AF for moving subjects, and 3. AI Focus AF that switches automatically from One-Shot AF to AI Servo AF if the subject starts to move.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

Canceling AEB
After the three bracketed shots are
taken, the AEB setting will not be canceled automatically. To cancel AEB, follow steps 1 and 2 to set the AEB amount to Z. AEB will also be canceled automatically if the flash is ready to fire.
AEB cannot be used with flash or bulb exposures. During AEB shooting, the <7> arrow will appear next to the <L> icon and the AEB level <x> will be displayed. In the viewfinder, the <j> icon will blink. In the <H> film advance mode, the camera stops shooting automatically after taking the three AEB shots. In the <J> (single frame) mode, press the shutter button completely three times to take the three AEB shots. If you use the self-timer or remote control, the three AEB shots will be taken continuously automatically. If C.Fn-05-1 is set (mirror lockup), single-frame film advance will take effect during AEB shooting even if the continuous film advance mode has been set. AEB can also be set in combination with exposure compensation. If you set the exposure compensation amount beyond the displayable range, the indicator will look as shown below. However, the exposure compensation amount will still take effect. In the <S> <R> <E> <Q> modes: : 1 stop AEB. : 1 stop AEB with 1-stop exposure compensation. : 1 stop AEB with 1.5-stop exposure compensation. : 1 stop AEB with 2-stop exposure compensation. In the <W> mode: : 1 stop AEB with 2-stop exposure compensation.
: 1 stop AEB with over 2-stop exposure compensation.

jAE Lock

AE lock enables you to lock the exposure at a different spot from the point of focus. After locking the exposure, you can recompose the shot while maintaining the desired exposure level. This feature is useful for backlit and spotlighted subjects.

picture will be taken and the mirror will go back down. To take another shot with mirror lockup, start from step 1 again.
If you are shooting a very bright scene such as the beach or ski slope with mirror lockup, take the picture promptly after the mirror goes up. During mirror lockup, do not point the lens toward the sun. Doing so may damage the shutter curtains due to the suns heat. If you use mirror lockup with the self-timer for a bulb exposure, keep pressing the shutter button completely (10-sec. self-timer + bulb exposure). If you let go of the shutter button during the self-timer, there will be a shutter-release sound. It is not the shutter release. For mirror lockup, using the Remote Switch RS-60E3 or Remote Controller RC-1/RC-5 (both sold separately) is recommended. During mirror lockup, the film advance mode will be Single even if it is set to <H>. If mirror lockup is used with the self-timer, pressing the shutter button fully will lock up the mirror first and the picture will be taken 10 sec. later.

KWireless Remote Control

With Remote Controller RC-1 (sold separately), wireless operation is possible up to 5 m/16.4 ft away from the front of the camera.
1 Turn the film advance mode lever to <p>.
<K> icon appears on the LCD panel.
2 Take the picture. Point the signal transmitter toward
the cameras remote control sensor and press the signal button. s The remote control lamp will light, and the picture will be taken. For details on using the remote control, see the RC-1s instructions.

Remote control sensor

Certain types of fluorescent light may cause camera misoperation. During wireless remote control, try to keep the camera away from fluorescent light. You can also use Remote Controller RC-5 (sold separately). If you set the film advance mode lever to <p> and do nothing for four minutes, the wireless remote control mode will be canceled automatically to save battery power.

Using the Remote Switch

Connect the Remote Switch RS60E3s (sold separately) plug to the cameras remote control terminal. To take a picture, press the Remote Switchs shutter-release button.

Flash Photography

With the built-in flash or EOSdedicated Speedlite, you can easily take flash pictures in the same way as normal AE shooting. In the Basic Zone modes (except <I> <P>), the built-in flash is fully automatic. In Creative Zone modes, it can be used at any time.

Using the Built-in Flash

In a Basic Zone Mode
In low-light or backlit conditions, the built-in flash will pop up and fire automatically (except in <I> <P> modes).

In a Creative Zone Mode

Just pop-up the built-in flash to fire the flash regardless of the ambient light level. S : Use this mode for automatic flash photography. The flash sync speed (within 1/60 sec. - 1/125 sec) and aperture value will be set automatically as with the <Y> (Full Auto) mode.
R : Use this mode if you want to set the flash sync speed manually (within 30 sec. - 1/125 sec.). The camera will set the flash aperture value automatically to obtain a correct flash exposure. E : Use this mode if you want to set the flash aperture value. The camera will set the flash sync speed (within 30 sec. 1/125 sec.) automatically to obtain the best exposure for the aperture you set. For portraits with a night scene or dark background, a slow sync speed will be set to obtain a proper exposure for both the subject and background. The flash illuminates the subject, while the background is properly exposed with a slow shutter speed. Because automatic slow-sync shooting uses a slow shutter speed, always use a tripod. W : Enables you to manually set the shutter speed (30 sec. 1/125 sec. or bulb) and aperture. The subject is properly exposed with the flash and the background is exposed with the flash sync speed and aperture value you have set.
Q : This mode gives the same flash result as the <S> mode.

Use the built-in flash at least 1 meter (3.3 ft) away from the subject. Closer distances may result in the flash partially obstructed by the lens barrel. When using the built-in flash, detach any hood attached to the lens. A lens hood will partially obstruct the flash coverage. When a super telephoto lens or a fast, large-aperture lens is attached, the built-in flash coverage might be obstructed. Using an EOS-dedicated Speedlite is recommended. The built-in flashs flash coverage is suited for a 28mm lens. If you use a shorter wide-angle lens, the flash picture may look dark along the periphery. To retract the built-in flash, push it down. In <R> or <W> mode, even if you set the shutter speed faster than 1/125 sec. 1/125 sec. will be set automatically. If the camera finds it difficult to focus, the AF-assist beam will fire automatically (except <I> <P>). C.Fn-07-3 disables the built-in flash from firing. (p.86) C.Fn-06-1 enables 2nd-curtain sync with the built-in flash. (p.86) With C.Fn-09-1, the flash sync speed will be fixed at 1/125 sec. in the <E> mode. (p.87)

With an industry leading combination of performance and design, Canons EOS series of SLR cameras continue to set new standards for digital and film SLRs. Celebrated for their unparalleled performance and sophisticated innovation, Canon EOS cameras have a well-deserved reputation for userfriendly design, professional precision and uncompromising quality. Canon is pleased to add the new EOS ELAN 7N/7NE to this amazing camera
system. 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.
