LCD Displays

LCD displays operate more slowly at low temperatures, and may appear dark at high temperatures. The display will return to normal at room temperature.

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.

Dioptric Adjustment

By adjusting the diopter, eyeglass wearers will not need their eyeglasses to see a sharp viewfinder image. The cameras adjustable dioptric range is 2.5 to +0.5 dpt.
1 Remove the eyecup.sides at the While grasping both
bottom of the eyecup, slide it upward to remove.
2 Turn the dioptric adjustment knob.
Turn the knob left or right so that the
AF points in the viewfinder look sharp. The illustration shows the knob at the standard setting (1 dpt).

3 Reattach the eyecup.

If the dioptric adjustment knob still cannot make the viewfinder look clear, use a Dioptric Adjustment Lens Ed (10 types sold separately).

Holding the Camera

To avoid taking blurred pictures, hold the camera steady to minimize camera shake.

Horizontal shooting

Vertical shooting
Firmly grasp the camera grip with your right hand, and press your both elbows lightly against your body. Hold the lens at the bottom with your left hand. Press the camera against your face and look through the viewfinder. To maintain a stable stance, place one foot in front of the other instead of lining up both feet.
The camera automatically senses whether it is in the horizontal or vertical position. The camera orientation sensor will make a small sound when you switch to vertical or horizontal shooting.

Fully Automatic Shooting

This chapter describes how to use the cameras Basic Zone modes <Y> <U> <I> <O> <P> <A> for quick and easy shooting. In these modes, all you do is point and shoot. Also, these modes override the cameras <l> <u> and AF Mode dials, film advance mode lever (except <p>), and buttons (except <0> <6> and the shutter button). This is to prevent spoiled shots caused by accidental operation of camera controls.
Turn the Mode Dial to <Y>, <U>, <I>, <O>, <P>, or <A>.

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.

For better background blur, use a telephoto lens
and fill the frame with the subject or have the subject stand closer to the camera. s This automatically sets the AF mode to <4>, the film advance mode to <H>, and the metering mode to <Z>.

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. automatically sets the AF mode to <4>, the film advance mode to <J> (single-frame shooting), and the metering mode to <Z>.

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 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.

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.

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.

If the maximum aperture value blinks, it indicates underexposure. Turn the <l> dial to set a slower shutter speed until the blinking stops. If the minimum aperture value blinks, it indicates overexposure. Turn the <l> dial to set a faster shutter speed until the blinking stops.

Shutter Speed Display

The shutter speeds from D to R indicate the denominator of the fractional shutter speed. For example, S indicates 1/125 sec. Also, H indicates 0.7 sec, and J indicates 15 sec.

E Aperture-Priority AE

In this mode, you set the desired aperture value and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the subject brightness. The larger or brighter the aperture (lower f/number) the more blurred the background will become. This effect is ideal for portraits. The smaller or darker the aperture (higher f/number), the clearer the focus will be for both near and far objects (wider depth of field). <E> stands for aperture value.

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.

If you are using a zoom lens, do not zoom before the picture is taken. If a slow shutter speed is set, use a tripod to prevent camera shake. The <Q> mode cannot be used if the lens focus mode switch is set <MF>. The result will be the same as using the <S> mode. The <Q> mode cannot be used if you use flash or remote control. The result will be the same as using the <S> mode with flash. If you are using the <Q> mode with a lens that has a focus-limiting switch, set the switch to minimum focusing distance -. To cancel <Q> at any time, turn the Mode Dial to any setting except <Q>. To check the depth of field while using depth-of-field AE, set DEP points 1 and 2 and press the shutter button halfway. Then press the depth-of-field preview button. To further increase the depth of field, use a wide-angle lens. Setting DEP points 1 and 2 at the same point on the subject will make the depth of field shallow. The foreground and background will then be blurred, making the subject stand out. Using a telephoto lens enhances this effect.

Exposure Compensation

Exposure compensation is used to alter the cameras standard exposure setting. You can make the picture look lighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). The exposure compensation amount can be set up to +/2 stops in half-stop increments.

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.

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.

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.

Exposure Compensation: (1) Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) to +/-2 stops in 1/2-stop increments, repeatable. May be used in Intelligent Program, Shutter-Priority, Aperture-Priority, Depth-of-Field, and Manual modes only. (2) User-set exposure compensation up to +/-2 stops, in 1/2-stop increments, with Quick Control Dial. (3) Flash Exposure. Multiple Exposure: Up tonine exposures can be preset. Automatically clears upon completion. FILM TRANSPORT Film Speed Setting: ISO 25-5000 automatically set in 1/3-stop increments according to DX code. Can also be set manually from ISO 6-6400 in 1/3-stop increments. High-speed infrared film cannot be used. Film Loading: Automatic take-up with a sprocketless system. Film is automatically advanced to the first frame when the camera back is closed. Film Transport: Choice of single frame or continuous shooting at approximately 4 fps (3.5 fps in AI Servo AF), with additive frame counter. Film Rewind: Film is automatically rewound at the end of the roll or after 36 exposures, with a mid-roll film rewind option. Choice of high-speed (five seconds with 24 exposure roll) or silent rewind (13 seconds with 24 exposure roll) modes. BUILT-IN FLASH Type: Built-in, retractable TTL automatic flash; pop-up automatically when needed in low light/backlight situations except when in Landscape, Sports or Creative Zone modes; manual activation (pull up by hand) in P, Av, Tv, M modes. Flash AE Controls: TTL automatic flash control by metering light reflected off film plane. In Programmed AE modes, flash aperture is set according to TTL program. In Aperture-Priority AE and Manual modes, user sets flash AE aperture. In Shutter-Priority AE, aperture is set to match shutter speed selected (1/125 sec. or slower). Guide Number: 43 (ISO 100, ft.)
