Turning on the Power

When you turn on the power switch and the date/time setting screen appears, see page 29 to set the date/time. <1> : The camera turns on. <2> : The camera is turned off and does not operate. Set to this position when not using the camera.
About the Automatic Self-Cleaning Sensor
Whenever you set the power switch to <1> or <2>, the sensor cleaning will be executed automatically. During the sensor cleaning, the LCD monitor will display <f>. Even during the sensor cleaning, you can still shoot by pressing the shutter button halfway (p.37) to stop the sensor cleaning and take a picture. If you turn on/off the power switch <1>/<2> at a short interval, the <f> icon might not be displayed. This is normal and not a problem.

About Auto Power Off

To save battery power, the camera turns off automatically after about 30 seconds of non-operation. To turn on the camera again, just press the shutter button. You can change the auto power-off time with the menus [5 Auto power off] setting. (p.109)
If you set the power switch to <2> while an image is being recorded to the card, [Recording.] will be displayed and the power will turn off after the card finishes recording the image.
Checking the Battery Level
When the power switch is set to <1>, the battery level will be indicated in one of four levels: z : Battery level OK. x : Battery level is slightly down, but adequate power remains. c : Battery will be exhausted soon. n : Battery must be recharged. Battery Life
Temperature At 23C / 73F At 0C / 32F No Flash 600 500
[Approx. number of shots]
Shooting Conditions 50% Flash Use 500 400
The figures above are based on a fully-charged LP-E5, no Live View shooting, and CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) testing standards.
The actual number of shots may be fewer than indicated above depending on the shooting conditions. Pressing the shutter button halfway for long periods or operating only the autofocus can also reduce the number of possible shots. The number of possible shots will decrease with more frequent use of the LCD monitor. The lens operation is powered by the cameras battery. Using certain lenses can reduce the number of possible shots. Using the Image Stabilizer of the lens will decrease the number of possible shots (shorter battery life). For battery life with Live View shooting, see page 100.

Image Conversion Factor

About Low-level Formatting
Do low-level formatting if the cards recording or reading speed seems slow. Since low-level formatting will erase all recordable sectors in the card, the formatting will take slightly longer than normal formatting. You can stop the low-level formatting by selecting [Cancel]. Even in this case, normal formatting will have been completed and you can use the card as usual.
When the card is formatted, only the file management information is changed. The actual data is not completely erased. Be aware of this when selling or discarding the card. When discarding the card, execute low-level formatting or destroy the card physically to prevent the data from being leaked. The cards capacity displayed on the format screen may be lower than the capacity indicated on the card.
Switching the LCD Monitor Screen
The LCD monitor can display the shooting settings screen, menu screen, image, etc.

Shooting Settings

The shooting settings are displayed when the camera is turned on. The display turns off when you press the shutter button halfway (p.37). When you let go of the shutter button, the display turns on again. You can also turn off the display by pressing the <B> button or <0>. Display it again by pressing the button again.

Captured Image

Appears when you press the <M> button. Press the button again to return to the previous screen.
Appears when you press the <x> button. Press the button again to return to the previous screen.
With the [5 LCD off/on btn] menu, you can set the method for turning the shooting settings display on or off. (p.115) While the menu or captured image is displayed, you can immediately return to shooting by pressing the shutter button.
This chapter explains how to use the Basic Zone modes on the Mode Dial for best results and how to playback images.
With the Basic Zone modes, all you do is point and shoot and the camera sets everything automatically. Also, to prevent botched pictures due to mistaken operations, shooting settings cannot be changed in the Basic Zone modes. The settings (functions set automatically) which cannot be set by the user are grayed out.

Full Auto

About the Auto Lighting Optimizer
In Basic Zone modes, the Auto Lighting Optimizer will operate to adjust the image automatically to obtain the optimum brightness and contrast. It is also set by default in Creative Zone modes (p.156).

If the subject is far away, increase the ISO speed. By increasing the ISO speed, you can extend the flash range. In bright light, decrease the ISO speed. If the exposure setting in the viewfinder blinks, decrease the ISO speed. Detach the lens hood and keep at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away from the subject. If the lens hood is attached or if you are too close to the subject, the bottom portion of the picture might turn out dark. For important shots, check the image on the LCD monitor to make sure the flash exposure looks good (not dark at the bottom).
3 Using Red-eye Reduction
Using the red-eye reduction lamp before taking a flash picture can reduce red eye. Red-eye reduction will work in any shooting mode except <3> <7> <5>. Under the [1] tab, select [Red-eye On/Off], then press <0>. Select [On], then press <0>. For flash photography, when you press the shutter button halfway, the red-eye reduction lamp will light. Then when you press the shutter button completely, the picture will be taken.
The red-eye reduction feature is most effective when the subject looks at the red-eye reduction lamp, when the room is well lit, or when you go closer to the subject. When you press the shutter button halfway, the viewfinder display on the bottom will gradually turn off. For best results, take the picture after this display turns off. The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies from subject to subject.

E: Changing the AF ModeN

You can change the AF mode to suit different subjects such as group photos, animals, and sports.

Aim the AF point over the subject and press the shutter button halfway. The camera will then autofocus in the selected AF mode.
Selecting the Best AF Mode X (One-Shot AF) Suitable for still subjects. When you press the shutter button halfway, the camera will focus only once. You can also recompose the shot. 9 (AI Focus AF) Suitable when you cannot decide between One-Shot AF or AI Servo AF. Depending on the subjects movement, the camera will switch automatically to One-Shot AF or AI Servo AF.
* When focus is achieved in the AI SERVO AF mode, the beeper will sound softly. The focus confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder will not light. * AI stands for Artificial Intelligence.
Z (AI Servo AF) Suitable for moving subjects. While you hold down the shutter button halfway, the focus and exposure setting will be adjusted continuously.
* Even when focus is achieved, the beeper will not sound. Also, the focus confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder will not light.

You can shoot while viewing a real-time image on the cameras LCD monitor or on a personal computer screen. This is called Live View shooting. Convenient when the camera is mounted on a tripod for shooting still lifes, for example. If you handhold the camera like a compact digital camera and shoot while viewing the LCD monitor, camera shake can cause blurred images.
About Remote Live View Shooting
With the provided software installed in the personal computer, you can connect the camera to the personal computer and shoot remotely while viewing the computer screen instead of the cameras viewfinder. For details, see the Software Instruction Manual in the CD-ROM.
Preparing for Live View ShootingN

The Live View image will appear on the LCD monitor. The Live View image will reflect the brightness level of the actual image you capture. If the image is too bright, turn the <6> dial to the right. If it is too dark, turn the <6> dial to the left.
During Live View shooting, do not point the camera toward the sun. The suns heat can damage the cameras internal components. Live View shooting will disable a few Custom Function settings. (p.153) Under low light or bright light conditions, the Live View image might not reflect the brightness of the captured image. If the light source within the image changes, the screen might flicker. If this happens, stop the Live View shooting, then resume Live View shooting under the actual light source to be used. During Live View image display, if you point the camera in a different direction, it might throw off the correct brightness momentarily and the image might not look right. Wait until the image brightness stabilizes before shooting. If there is a very bright light source in the picture, such as the sun, the bright area might be blackened on the LCD monitor. However, the actual captured image will correctly show the bright area. If you set the [6 LCD brightness] to bright settings in low light, chrominance noise may appear in the Live View image. However, the chrominance noise will not be recorded to the captured image. When you magnify the image, the image sharpness may look more pronounced than it really is. Under the [7 Custom Functions (C.Fn)] menu, setting [Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.156) to [0: Enable] may display a darkly-exposed (set with exposure compensation) image brighter. If the camera is not operated for a prolonged period, the power will turn off automatically as set with [5 Auto power off]. (p.109) If [5 Auto power off] is set to [Off], the Live View shooting will stop automatically after 30 min. (camera power remains on). The images field of view is about 100%. With the video cable (provided) connecting the camera to a TV set, you can view images on the TV. (p.128)
