Settings for Images

This chapter explains the specific settings for shooting with a digital camera: Image-recording quality, white balance, ISO speed, and image-processing parameters. You will also learn how to review and organize the recorded images.

Image-Recording Quality

Four image-recording quality settings are provided. Images recorded in the < >, < >, or > mode do not require processing afterward. However, an image recorded in the < > < mode will require processing with a personal computer.

Records an 11-megapixel image with low-compression JPEG. It saves the JPEG image with the highest image quality. Note that due to the large file size, fewer images can be recorded on the CF card.

Large/Normal

Records an 11-megapixel image with high-compression JPEG. It saves the JPEG image with a relatively high image quality while enabling more images to be recorded on the CF card.

Small/Fine

Records an 11-megapixel image with low-compression JPEG after conversion to a 2.7-megapixel image. It maximizes the number of images that can be recorded on the CF card.
Records the image with lossless compression resulting in about 11 megapixels. Use this mode when you want to use a personal computer to process the image afterward. Due to the large file size, fewer images can be recorded on the CF card.
MENU Image-Recording Quality

Processing

Processing is the alteration of the raw image data captured with the cameras CMOS imaging element. For example, the digital images white balance and image quality can be altered. Images recorded in the < >, < >, or < > mode undergo processing by the camera before being saved as a JPEG image. < > images are processed according to the color matrix, white balance and processing parameters set at the time of shooting. A < > image can be processed repeatedly using the provided software.

Custom Function C.Fn-06-2 enables the exposure compensation amount to be set in 1/2-stop increments. (p.134) The exposure compensation amounts 1/2-stop increments enabled with C.Fn-06 are indicated in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel as shown below.

Cleaning the CMOS Sensor

The CMOS sensor corresponds to the film in a film-based camera. If any dust or other foreign matter adheres to the CMOS sensor, it may show up as a dark speck in the pictures you take. To avoid this, follow the procedure below to clean the CMOS sensor. Note that the CMOS sensor is a very delicate component. If possible, you should have it cleaned by a Canon Service Center. While you clean the CMOS, the cameras power must remain on the whole time. To make sure the power will not turn off while you clean the CMOS sensor, connect the camera to a power outlet with the DC Coupler Kit or use the battery pack that has enough power. You will also need a rubber blower, and the lens must be detached from the camera. (p.26)

Depth of field

This is the range where acceptable focus can be achieved in front of and behind the point of the subject. The smaller the aperture (the higher the f/number), the deeper the depth of field. And the larger the aperture (the lower the f/number), the shallower the depth of field. The depth of field is affected as described below: (1) A smaller aperture (a higher f/number) increases the depth of field. For example, stopping down to f/8 obtains a deeper depth of field than f/4.5. (2) A lens with a shorter focal length increases the depth of field. A wide-angle lens obtains a deeper depth of field than a telephoto lens. (3) A longer distance between the camera and subject increases the depth of field. (4) The depth of field behind the point of optimum focus (2) is longer than the depth of field in front of the point of optimum focus (1).
Depth of field Point of optimum focus

Aperture set to f/22.

Aperture set to f/2.

Exposure

Exposure occurs when the film (or the image sensor in a digital camera) is exposed to light. Correct exposure is obtained when the film or the image sensor is exposed to a proper amount of light in accordance with its sensitivity to light. The correct exposure is adjusted with the camera's shutter speed and aperture.

The subject is too bright.
The picture will be underexposed.
The picture will be overexposed.
The desired depth of field cannot be obtained.

The subject is too dark.

The sample warnings apply when a lens having a maximum aperture of f/1.4 and minimum aperture of f/22 is attached to the camera. The maximum and minimum aperture warning displays will differ depending on the lens attached to the camera.

Program Line

The program line below applies when the camera is used in the Program AE < > mode with an EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens. EV

Program Line Description

The bottom horizontal axis represents the shutter speed and the right vertical axis represents the aperture. On the left edge and top edge of the graph, the Exposure Value (EV) is indicated for respective shutter speed and aperture combination set by the Program AE mode and denoted by the colored program line. Example: When the subject brightness is EV 12, the point where the diagonal line from EV 12 (on the top edge of the graph) intersects the program line indicates the corresponding shutter speed (1/320 sec.) and aperture (f/3.5) which the program sets automatically.

Shutter Speed and Aperture Readouts

Shutter speed readout

The shutter speed is normally displayed in 1/3-stop increments. Numbers from 4 to 8000 denote the denominator of the shutter speed fraction. For example, 125 is 1/125 sec. Also, 0"3 is 0.3 sec., and 15" is 15 sec.

Aperture readout

The aperture is normally displayed in 1/3-stop increments. The higher the number, the smaller the aperture opening. The range of aperture numbers (f/numbers) displayed depends on the lens used. 1/3-stop Increments Shutter Speed Aperture 1/2-stop Increments Shutter Speed Aperture Full-stop Increments Shutter Speed Aperture
C.Fn-06 enables the shutter speed and aperture to be set in full-stop or 1/2-stop increments. (p.134)

Error Codes

If a camera error occurs, < xx> will be displayed on the top LCD panel. Follow the instruction below according to the error code. If the same error occurs often, something is probably wrong with the camera. Jot down the xx error code and take your camera to the nearest Canon Service Center (see list of service centers on the back cover). If an error occurs after you take a picture, the camera might have missed the shot. Press the < > button to see if the image appears on the LCD monitor. Error code Countermeasures Clean the lens contacts. (p.11) There is a problem on the CF card. Please perform one the following actions: Removing and reinstalling the CF card. Format the CF card. Use another CF card instead. Too many folders in the CF card. Replace with a formatted CF card. The CF card is full. Erase unnecessary images or replace with a CF card with sufficient space. Remove and reinstall the battery.
