Refer to This Manual while Using the Camera to Further
Familiarize Yourself with the Camera
With a digital camera, you can immediately view the image you have
captured. While reading this manual, take a few test shots and see how
they come out. You can then better understand the camera.
To avoid botched pictures and accidents, first read the “Safety
Warnings” (p.445-447) and “Handling Precautions” (p.18, 19).
Testing the Camera Before Use and Liability
After shooting, play images back and check whether they have been
properly recorded. If the camera or memory card is faulty and the
images cannot be recorded or downloaded to a computer, Canon
cannot be held liable for any loss or inconvenience caused.
Copyrights
Copyright laws in your country may prohibit the use of your recorded
images or copyrighted music and images with music in the memory
card for anything other than private enjoyment. Also be aware that
certain public performances, exhibitions, etc., may prohibit photography
even for private enjoyment.

The camera can use the following cards regardless of capacity:
SD memory cards
SDHC memory cards*
SDXC memory cards*
* UHS-I cards supported.
When shooting movies, use a large-capacity card with a fast reading/
writing speed as shown in the table.
If you use a slow-writing card when shooting movies, the movie may
not be recorded properly. Also, if you play back a movie on a card
with a slow reading speed, the movie may not play back properly.
If you want to shoot still photos while shooting a movie, you will need
an even faster card.
To check the card’s reading/writing speed, refer to the card
manufacturer’s Web site.

Camera Care
This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical shock.
The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you
accidentally drop the camera into water, promptly consult the nearest Canon
Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry and clean cloth. If the
camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a well-wrung wet cloth.
Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field such
as a magnet or electric motor. Also avoid using or leaving the camera near
anything emitting strong radio waves, such as a large antenna. Strong
magnetic fields can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data.
Do not leave the camera in excessive heat, such as in a car in direct
sunlight. High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.
The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to
disassemble the camera yourself.
Do not block the mirror operation with your finger, etc. Doing so may cause a
malfunction.
Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirror, and
focusing screen. Do not use cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean
the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, take the camera to the nearest
Canon Service Center.
Do not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your fingers. This is to
prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause camera
misoperation.
If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room,
condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent
condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to
the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.
If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid
damaging the camera. If there is condensation, remove the lens, card and
battery from the camera, and wait until condensation has evaporated before
using the camera.
If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery
and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while the
camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a while to
check that the camera is still working.
Avoid storing the camera where there are chemicals that result in rust and
corrosion such as in a chemical lab.
Handling Precautions
COPY
19
Handling Precautions
If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions
before using it. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is
an important shoot such as a foreign trip coming up, have the camera
checked by your Canon dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure
it is working properly.
If you use continuous shooting, Live View shooting, or movie shooting for a
prolonged period, the camera may become hot. This is not a malfunction.
LCD Panel and LCD Monitor
Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision
technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there may be a few dead pixels
displaying only black or red, etc. among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels.
Dead pixels are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded.
If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur
where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only
temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days.
The LCD monitor display may seem slow in low temperatures, or look black
in high temperatures. It will return to normal at room temperature.
Cards
To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:
Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force,
physical shock, or vibration.
Do not touch the card’s electronic contacts with your fingers or anything
metallic.
Do not affix any stickers, etc., on the card.
Do not store or use the card near anything having a strong magnetic field,
such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places prone to having
static electricity.
Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
Store the card in a case.
Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
Lens
After detaching the lens from the camera, put down the
lens with the rear end up and attach the lens caps to avoid
scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.

1
Remove the protective cover.
Detach the protective cover provided
with the battery.
2
Attach the battery.
As shown in the illustration, attach the
battery securely to the charger.
To detach the battery, follow the
above procedure in reverse.
3
Recharge the battery.
For LC-E6
As shown by the arrow, flip out the
battery charger’s prongs and insert
the prongs into a power outlet.
For LC-E6E
Connect the power cord to the
charger and insert the plug into a
power outlet.
X Recharging starts automatically and

It takes approx. 2.5 hours to fully recharge a completely exhausted battery at room
temperature (23°C / 73°F). The time required to recharge the battery will vary greatly
depending on the ambient temperature and the battery’s remaining capacity.
For safety reasons, recharging in low temperatures (5°C - 10°C /
41°F - 50°F) will take longer (up to approx. 4 hours).

Charging the Battery
Upon purchase, the battery is not fully charged.
Charge the battery before use.
Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be used.
Even during storage, a charged battery will gradually drain and lose its capacity.
After recharging the battery, detach it and disconnect the
charger from the power outlet.
You can attach the cover in a different
orientation to indicate whether the battery
has been recharged or not.
If the battery has been recharged, attach the
cover so that the battery-shaped hole < > is
aligned over the blue sticker on the battery. If the battery is
exhausted, attach the cover in the opposite orientation.
When not using the camera, remove the battery.
If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small amount
of power current is released, resulting in excess discharge and shorter
battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover attached. Storing
the battery when it is fully charged may lower the battery’s performance.
The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.
The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/60 Hz
power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available plug adapter for
the respective country or region. Do not attach any portable voltage
transformer to the battery charger. Doing so can damage the battery charger.
If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully
charged, the battery has reached the end of its service life.
Check the battery’s recharge performance (p.396) and purchase a
new battery.
Tips for Using the Battery and Charger
After disconnecting the charger’s power plug, do not touch the prongs for approx. 10 sec.
If the battery’s remaining capacity (p.396) is 94% or higher, the battery
will not be recharged.
The charger cannot charge any battery other than Battery Pack LP-E6.

Image Conversion Factor
Since the image sensor size is
smaller than the 35mm film
format, it will look like the lens
focal length is increased by
approx. 1.6x.
Image sensor size (Approx.)
(22.5 x 15.0 mm / 0.88 x 0.59 in.)
35mm image size
(36 x 24 mm / 1.42 x 0.94 in.)
If you do not attach the hood properly, it may obstruct the image’s
periphery, making it look dark.
When attaching or detaching the hood, grasp the base of the hood when
turning it. Grasping the hood’s edges when turning it may deform the
hood, resulting in failure to turn.

When you use the IS lens’ built-in Image Stabilizer, camera shake is
corrected to obtain a sharper shot. The procedure explained here is
based on the EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens as an example.
* IS stands for Image Stabilizer.
1
Set the IS switch to <1>.
Also set the camera’s power switch to
<1>.
2
Press the shutter button halfway.
X The Image Stabilizer will operate.
3
Take the picture.
When the picture looks steady in the
viewfinder, press the shutter button
completely to take the picture.
Lens Image Stabilizer
The Image Stabilizer cannot correct “subject blur”, when the subject
moves at the time of exposure.
For bulb exposures, set the IS switch to <2>. If <1> is set, Image
Stabilizer misoperation may occur.
The Image Stabilizer may not be effective for excessive shaking such as
on a rocking boat.
The Image Stabilizer can operate with the lens focus mode switch set to
either <AF> or <MF>.
When using a tripod, you can still shoot with the IS switch set to <1>
with no problem. However, to save battery power, setting the IS switch to
<2> is recommended.
The Image Stabilizer is effective even when the camera is mounted on a
monopod.
Some IS lenses enable you to switch the IS mode manually to suit the
shooting conditions. However, the following lenses switch the IS mode
automatically:
• EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM • EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM
• EF-S18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS

picture.
Preventing Camera Shake
Hand-held camera movement during the moment of exposure is called
camera shake. It can cause blurred pictures. To prevent camera shake,
note the following:
Hold and steady the camera as shown on the preceding page.
Press the shutter button halfway to autofocus, then slowly press the
shutter button completely.
Shutter Button
In Creative Zone modes, pressing the <p> button is the same as
pressing the shutter button halfway.

Cautions for Touch Screen Operations
Since the LCD monitor is not pressure sensitive, do not use any sharp
objects, such as your fingernail or a ballpoint pen, for touch operations.
Do not use wet fingers for touch screen operations.
If the LCD monitor has any moisture or if your fingers are wet, the touch
screen may not respond or misoperation may occur. In such a case, turn
off the power and wipe the LCD monitor with a cloth.
Do not attach any protective sheet (commercially available) or sticker on
the LCD monitor. It may make the touch operation response slow.
If you quickly perform touch operation when [Sensitive] is set, the touch
response may be slower.

A card-related error is displayed (p.432).
Format the card in the following cases:
Low-level Formatting
Perform low-level formatting if the card’s recording or reading speed seems
slow or if you want to erase all data on the card.
Since low-level formatting will format all recordable sectors on 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 be completed and you can use the card as
usual.
When the card is formatted or data is erased, 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 personal data from being leaked.
Before using a new Eye-Fi card, the software on the card must be
installed in your computer. Then format the card with the camera.
The card capacity displayed on the card format screen may be smaller
than the capacity indicated on the card.

For a backlit subject, the flash may fire to help lighten the subject’s
dark areas. If you do not want the flash to fire, use the Quick Control
to set [Flash firing] to [b] (p.90) or set the <7> (Flash Off) mode

The flash fired and the picture came out extremely bright.
Move further from the subject and shoot. When shooting flash
photography, if the subject is too close to the camera, the picture
may come out extremely bright (overexposure).
In low light, the built-in flash fired a series of flashes.
Pressing the shutter button halfway may trigger the built-in flash to
fire a series of flashes to assist autofocusing. This is called the AF-
assist beam. Its effective range is approx. 4 meters/13.1 feet.
When flash was used, the bottom part of the picture came out
unnaturally dark.
The shadow of the lens barrel was captured in the picture because
the subject was too close to the camera. Move further from the
subject and shoot. If a hood is attached to the lens, remove it before
taking the flash picture.

Depending on the scene, position the subject toward the left or right to
create a balanced background and good perspective.
In the <A> mode, while you press the shutter button halfway to focus
a still subject, the focus will be locked. You can then recompose the
shot and press the shutter button completely to take the picture. This is
called “focus lock”. Focus lock is also possible in other Basic Zone
modes (except <5>).
In the <A> mode, if the subject moves (distance to camera changes)
while or after you focus, AI Servo AF will take effect to focus the subject
continuously. (The beeper will continue beeping softly.) As long as you
keep aiming the Area AF frame on the subject while pressing the
shutter button halfway, the focusing will be continuous. When you want
to take the picture, press the shutter button completely.

Use the <3> (Landscape) mode for wide scenery or to have
everything in focus from near to far. For vivid blues and greens, and
very sharp and crisp images.
With a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end.
When using the wide-angle end of a zoom lens, objects near and far
will be in focus better than at the telephoto end. It also adds breadth
to landscapes.
Shooting night scenes.
The <3> mode is also good for night scenes because it disables
the built-in flash. When shooting night scenes, use a tripod to
prevent camera shake.
3 Shooting Landscapes
Shooting Tips
The built-in flash will not fire even in backlit or low-light conditions.
If you are using an external Speedlite, the Speedlite will fire.
COPY
84
When you want to shoot flowers or small things up close, use the <4>
(Close-up) mode. To make small things appear much larger, use a
macro lens (sold separately).
Use a simple background.
A simple background makes small objects such as flowers stand out
better.
Move as close as possible to the subject.
Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. Some lenses
have indications such as <MACRO 0.39m/1.3ft> on them. The lens
minimum focusing distance is measured from the <V> (focal
plane) mark on the top of the camera to the subject. If you are too
close to the subject, the focus confirmation light <o> will blink.
If you use flash and the bottom of the picture looks unusually dark,
move away from the subject.
With a zoom lens, use the telephoto end.
If you have a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the
subject look larger.

Use the <5> (Sports) mode to shoot a moving subject, such as a
running child or a moving vehicle.
Use a telephoto lens.
The use of a telephoto lens is recommended for shooting from a
distance.
Track the subject with the Area AF frame.
Aim the center AF point over the subject, then press the shutter
button halfway to start autofocusing in Area AF frame. During
autofocusing, the beeper will continue beeping softly. If focus cannot
be achieved, the focus confirmation light <o> will blink.
The default setting is <o> (high-speed continuous shooting).
When you want to take the picture, press the shutter button
completely. If you hold down the shutter button, you will be able to
maintain autofocusing during continuous shooting of the subject’s
movement (max. approx. 7.0 shots per sec.).
5 Shooting Moving Subjects
Shooting Tips
Under low light when camera shake is prone to occur, the viewfinder’s
shutter speed display on the bottom left will blink. Hold the camera
steady and shoot.
If you are using an external Speedlite, the Speedlite will fire.
COPY
86
To shoot people at night and obtain a natural-looking night scene in the
background, use the <6> (Night Portrait) mode. Using a tripod is
recommended.
Use a wide-angle lens and a tripod.
When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to obtain a wide
night view. Also, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
Check the subject’s brightness.
Under low light, the built-in flash will fire automatically to obtain a
good exposure of the subject.
It is recommended to play back the image after the shooting to
check the image brightness. If the subject looks dark, move nearer
and shoot again.
Also shoot in another shooting modes.
Since camera shake is prone to occur with night shots, shooting also
with <A> and <F> is recommended.
6 Shooting Night Portraits (With a Tripod)
Shooting Tips
Tell the subject to keep still even after the flash fires.
If you use the self-timer together with flash, the self-timer lamp will light
up briefly after the picture is taken.
See the cautions on page 89.
COPY
87
Using a tripod for shooting a night scene yields the best results.
However, with the <F> (Handheld Night Scene) mode, you can shoot
night scenes while handholding the camera. In this mode, four shots are
taken continuously for each picture, and a resulting bright image with
reduced camera shake is recorded.
Hold the camera firmly.
While shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. In this mode,
four shots are aligned and merged into a single image. However, if
there is significant misalignment in any of the four shots due to
camera shake, they may not align properly in the final image.
For shots of people, turn on the flash.
If you will include people in the picture, press the <Q> button and
set <D> (Flash on). To take a nice portrait, the first shot will use
flash. Tell the subject not to move until all four continuous shots are
taken.
F Shooting Night Scenes (Handheld)
Shooting Tips
See the cautions on page 89.
COPY
88
When shooting a scene having both bright and dark areas, use the
<G> (HDR Backlight Control) mode. When you take one picture in this
mode, three continuous shots are taken at different exposures. This
results in one image, with a wide tonal range, that has minimized the
blocked-up shadows caused by backlighting.
Hold the camera firmly.
While shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. In this mode,
three shots are aligned and merged into a single image. However, if
there is significant misalignment in any of the three shots due to
camera shake, they may not align properly in the final image.
G Shooting Backlit Scenes
Shooting Tips
Flash shooting is not possible. In low light, the AF-assist beam may be
emitted (p.102).
See the cautions on pages 89-90.
HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.

Cautions for <6> Night Portrait and <F> Handheld Night Scene
During Live View shooting, it may be difficult to focus dots of light such as
in a night scene. In such a case, set the lens’ focus mode switch to <MF>
and focus manually.
Cautions for <
F
> Handheld Night Scene and <
G
> HDR Backlight Control
Compared with other shooting modes, the shooting area will be smaller.
You cannot select RAW or RAW+JPEG. If RAW is set, the image will be
recorded in the 73 quality. Also, if RAW+JPEG is set, the image will be
recorded in the set JPEG quality.
If you shoot a moving subject, the subject’s movement may leave
afterimages or the surrounding area of the subject may become dark.
The image alignment may not work properly with repetitive patterns
(lattice, stripes, etc.), flat or single-tone images, or images significantly
misaligned due to camera shake.
Recording the image to the card will take longer than with normal
shooting. During the processing of the images, “buSY” will be displayed
in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel and you cannot take another
picture until the processing is completed.
If the shooting mode is set to <F> or <G>, direct printing (p.346) is not
possible.
Cautions for <6> Night Portrait
During Live View shooting, it may be difficult to focus when the face of
the subject looks dark. In such a case, set the lens’ focus mode switch to
<MF> and focus manually.
Cautions for <F> Handheld Night Scene
When shooting flash photography, if the subject is too close to the
camera, the picture may come out extremely bright (overexposure).
If you use flash to shoot a night scene with few lights, the shots may not
align correctly. This can result in a blurry photo.
If you use flash and the human subject is close to the background that is
also illuminated by the flash, the shots may not align correctly. This can
result in a blurry photo. Unnatural shadows and unsuitable colors may
also appear.
External Speedlite flash coverage
When using a Speedlite with automatic flash coverage setting, the
zoom position will be fixed to the wide end, regardless of the lens’
zoom position.
When using a Speedlite requiring manual flash coverage setting, set
the flash head to the wide (normal) position.

Select one AF point <S> to be used for focusing.
The 19 AF points are divided into five zones for focusing. All the AF
points in the selected zone are used for the automatic selection of the
point of focus. It makes achieving focus easier than with single-point AF
and it is effective for moving subjects.
However, since it is inclined to focus the nearest subject, focusing a
specific target is harder than with single-point AF.
The AF point(s) achieving focus is displayed as <S>.

AF Area Selection Modes
All the AF points are used to focus. This mode is set automatically in
Basic Zone modes.
With One-Shot AF, pressing the shutter button
halfway will display the AF point(s) <S> that
achieved focus. If multiple AF points are displayed,
it means they all have achieved focus. This mode
tends to focus the nearest subject.
With AI Servo AF, the manually-selected (p.105) AF
point <S> is used first to achieve focus. The AF
point(s) achieving focus is displayed as <S>.
19-point Automatic Selection AF
When AI Servo AF mode is set with 19-point automatic selection AF or
Zone AF, the active AF point <S> will keep switching to track the
subject. However, under certain shooting conditions (such as when the
subject is small), it may not be able to track the subject. Also, in low
temperatures, the tracking response is slower.
If the camera cannot focus with the EOS-dedicated external Speedlite’s
AF-assist beam, set the AF area selection mode to Single-point AF
(manual selection) and select the center AF point to autofocus.
When the AF point(s) light up, part or all of the viewfinder may light up in
red. This is a characteristic of AF point display (using liquid crystal).
If you set [8C.Fn II-9 : Orientation linked AF point] to [1: Select
separate AF points], you can set the AF area selection mode and
manually-selected AF point (or zone) separately for vertical and horizontal
shooting (p.373).

Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (viewfinder’s focus confirmation light
<o> blinks) with certain subjects such as the following:
Subjects Difficult to Focus
Very low-contrast subjects
(Example: Blue sky, solid-color walls, etc.)
Subjects in very low light
Extremely backlit and reflective subjects
(Example: Car with a highly reflective body, etc.)
Near and far subjects covered by an AF point
(Example: Animal in a cage, etc.)
Repetitive patterns
(Example: Skyscraper windows, computer keyboards, etc.)
In such cases, do either of the following:
(1) With One-Shot AF, focus an object at the same distance as the
subject and lock the focus before recomposing the shot (p.75).
(2) Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually
(p.110).

If [z4: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable], ISO 100/125/160 and
H” (equivalent to ISO 25600) cannot be set (p.145).
Shooting in high temperatures may result in images that look grainier.
Long exposures can also cause irregular colors in the image.
When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (such as dots of light and
banding) may become noticeable.
When shooting in conditions that produce an extreme amount of noise,
such as a combination of high ISO speed, high temperature and long
exposure, images may not be recorded properly.
As “H” (equivalent to ISO 25600) is an expanded ISO speed setting,
noise (such as dots of light and banding) and irregular colors will be more
noticeable, and the resolution will be lower than usual.
If you use a high ISO speed and flash to shoot a close subject,
overexposure may result.
If you shoot a movie while “H” (equivalent to ISO 25600) is set, it will
switch to ISO 12800 (with movie manual exposure shooting). Even if you
switch back to still photo shooting, the ISO speed will not revert to the
original setting.
Under [z3: ISO speed settings], you can use [ISO speed range] to
expand the settable ISO speed range up to ISO 25600 (H) (p.123).

With just one shot, three images with different color tones can be recorded
simultaneously. Based on the color temperature of the current white balance
setting, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bias or magenta/
green bias. This is called white balance bracketing (WB-BKT). White
balance bracketing is possible up to ±3 levels in single-level increments.

You can also set white balance correction and AEB together with white
balance bracketing. If you set AEB in combination with white balance
bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded for a single shot.
Since three images are recorded for one shot, it takes longer to record the shot to the card.

Cautions for Setting Multi Shot Noise Reduction
If there is significant misalignment in the image due to camera shake, the
noise reduction effect may be minimal.
If you are handholding the camera, keep it steady to prevent camera
shake. Using a tripod is recommended.
If you shoot a moving subject, the subject’s movement may leave
afterimages or the surrounding area of the subject may become dark.
The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns
(lattice, stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.
Recording the image to the card will take longer than with normal
shooting. During the processing of the images, “buSY” will be displayed
in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel and you cannot take another
picture until the processing is completed.
RAW images cannot be selected. You cannot use AEB and WB
bracketing. [z4: Long exp. noise reduction], [z4: Dust Delete
Data], [z4: Multiple exposure], and [z4: HDR Mode] cannot be set.
If any of these has already been selected or set, [Multi Shot Noise
Reduction] cannot be set.
Flash shooting is not possible. The AF-assist beam will be emitted
according to the [8C.Fn II-5: AF-assist beam firing] setting.
You cannot set [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] for bulb exposures.
If you turn off the power, change the shooting mode to a Basic Zone
mode or bulb, or switch to movie shooting, the setting will automatically
switch to [Standard].
Direct printing is not possible (p.346).
If you play back a 1 image with the camera or print an image directly, the
effect of the high ISO speed noise reduction may look minimal. Check the
noise reduction effect or print noise-reduced images with Digital Photo
Professional (provided software, p.456).

3 Lens Peripheral Illumination / Chromatic Aberration Correction
148
The camera already contains lens peripheral illumination correction
data and chromatic aberration correction data for approx. 25 lenses. If
you select [Enable], the peripheral illumination correction and
chromatic aberration correction will be applied automatically for any
lens whose correction data is registered in the camera.
With EOS Utility (provided software), you can check which lenses have
their correction data registered in the camera. You can also register the
correction data for unregistered lenses. For details, refer to the EOS
Utility Instruction Manual (p.459) on the Software Instruction Manual
CD-ROM.
Notes for Peripheral Illumination Correction and Chromatic Aberration
Correction
Lens Correction Data
Peripheral illumination correction and chromatic aberration correction
cannot be applied to JPEG images already taken.
When using a non-Canon lens, setting the corrections to [Disable] is
recommended, even if [Correction data available] is displayed.
If you use magnified view during Live View shooting, the peripheral
illumination correction and chromatic aberration correction will not be
reflected in the image shown on the screen.
If the effect of the correction is not visible, magnify the image after
shooting and check it again.
Corrections can be applied even when an Extender or Life-size
Converter is attached.
If the correction data for the attached lens is not registered to the
camera, the result will be the same as when the correction is set to
[Disable].
If the lens does not have distance information, the correction amount will
be lower.

If the “30"” shutter speed and the lower f/number
blink, it indicates underexposure.
Increase the ISO speed or use flash.
If the “8000” shutter speed and the higher f/number
blink, it indicates overexposure.
Lower the ISO speed or use an ND filter (sold
separately) to reduce the amount of light entering the
lens.
Differences Between <d> and <A> Modes
In the <A> mode, many functions, such as the AF operation and metering
mode, are set automatically to prevent spoiled shots. The functions you can
set are limited. With <d> mode, only the shutter speed and aperture are set
automatically. You can freely set the AF operation, metering mode, and
other functions (p.404).
Program Shift
In the Program AE mode, you can freely change the shutter speed and
aperture combination (Program) set automatically by the camera while
maintaining the same exposure. This is called Program shift.
To shift the program, press the shutter button halfway, then turn the
<6> dial until the desired shutter speed or aperture is displayed.
Program shift will be canceled automatically when the metering timer
(0) ends (exposure setting display turns off).
Program shift cannot be used with flash.

In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically
sets the aperture to obtain the standard exposure suiting the brightness
of the subject. This is called shutter-priority AE. A faster shutter speed
can freeze the action or a moving subject. A slower shutter speed can
create a blurred effect, giving the impression of motion.

Shutter Speed Display
The shutter speeds from “8000” to “4” indicate the denominator of the
fractional shutter speed. For example, “125” indicates 1/125 sec., “0"5
indicates 0.5 sec. and “15"” is 15 sec.

In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the
shutter speed automatically to obtain the standard exposure suiting the
subject brightness. This is called aperture-priority AE. A higher f/
number (smaller aperture hole) will make more of the foreground and
background fall within acceptable focus. On the other hand, a lower f/
number (larger aperture hole) will make less of the foreground and
background fall within acceptable focus.

The aperture opening (diaphragm) changes only at the moment when
the picture is taken. Otherwise, the aperture remains fully open.
Therefore, when you look at the scene through the viewfinder or on the
LCD monitor, the depth of field will look narrow.
Press the depth-of-field preview button
to stop down the lens to the current
aperture setting and check the depth of
field (range of acceptable focus).
Depth-of-Field PreviewN
If the “30"” shutter speed blinks, it indicates
underexposure.
Turn the <6> dial to set a larger aperture (lower f/
number) until the shutter speed blinking stops or set a
higher ISO speed.
If the “8000"” shutter speed blinks, it indicates
overexposure.
Turn the <6> dial to set a smaller aperture (higher
aperture f/number) until the shutter speed blinking stops
or set a lower ISO speed.
Aperture Display
The higher the f/number, the smaller the aperture opening will be. The
apertures displayed will differ depending on the lens. If no lens is attached to
the camera, “00” will be displayed for the aperture.
A higher f/number will make more of the foreground and background fall
within acceptable focus. However, the viewfinder will look darker.
The depth-of-field effect can be clearly seen on the Live View image as
you change the aperture and press the depth-of-field preview button
(p.216).
The exposure will be locked (AE lock) while the depth-of-field preview
button is pressed.

If you shoot a moving subject, the subject’s movement may leave
afterimages or the surrounding area of the subject may become dark.
To prevent camera shake, the ISO speed may be set higher than usual.
HDR shooting is not possible with ISO expansion. (HDR shooting is
possible within the range of ISO 100 - ISO 12800.)
When shooting HDR images with [Auto Image Align] set to [Enable],
AF point display information (p.294) and Dust Delete Data (p.341) will
not be appended to the image.
If [Auto Image Align] is set to [Enable] and the HDR picture is shot
handheld, the edges of the photos will be cropped, lowering the
resolution slightly. Also, if the images cannot be aligned properly due to
camera shake, etc., auto image alignment may not take effect. Note that
when shooting with excessively bright or dark exposure settings, auto
image alignment may not work properly.
If you perform handheld HDR shooting while [Auto Image Align] is set
to [Disable], the 3 images may not be properly aligned and the HDR
effect may be minimal. In such a case, using a tripod is recommended.
Auto image alignment may not work properly with repetitive patterns
(lattice, stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.
The color gradation of the sky or white walls may not be reproduced
correctly. Irregular colors or noise may appear.
HDR shooting under fluorescent or LED lighting may result in unnatural
color reproduction of the illuminated areas.
Since HDR shooting merges the images, it will take a longer time to
record the HDR image to the card than with normal shooting. During the
processing of the images, “buSY” will be displayed in the viewfinder and
on the LCD panel and you cannot take another picture until the
processing is completed.

    Er bestaan ook online sites, die heb ik al geprobeerd en tot nu zonder succes. Als je dus ergens op een 2de handssite ziet dat men de kliks erbij gezet heeft, dan kan je bij de verkoper toch navragen hoe hij dat aan de weet is gekomen. Als hij zegt dat het via een online site is gegaan, dan zou ik al heel voorzichtig zijn.

Wellicht ga je kan je dat al terug vinden op de site van Canon. Ik dacht dat het in Ps het er al standaard in zit, maar daar ben ik niet zeker van. Geantwoord op 24-6-2021 om 21:14

  • Ik heb geen 70D meer, ik heb nu een ff.
    Als ik het goed voor heb, staat er achteraan de camera links boven een knopje met "INFO" op. Als je daar op duwt veranderd het beeld op je scherm. Er zijn 3 verschillende mogelijkheden dacht ik: Geen beeld - waterpas - Algemene info. Drukken tot je de info ziet die je wilt hebben.

  • Klik een paar keer op de info-knop, voor het scherm.
    Ik vermoed dat voor het scherpstellen je lens op MF staat, dan lukt dat dus ook niet en omdat de camera ziet dat je foto toch niet goed zal zijn, wilt hij ook die foto niet maken. Ik vermoed dat jullie het in die lijn moeten gaan zoeken. Geantwoord op 16-12-2018 om 11:29

    Als je geen beeld hebt, ligt daar wellicht de oorzaak. Druk daar meerdere keren op en let goed op wat er gebeurd.

  • Ik heb een D70 met een Sigma 18-50mm 2.8 lens. Voor huis/tuin/keuken foto's gebruik ik vaak het "P" programma. Ik heb hier vaak zeer teleurstellende resultaten mee, binnen en buiten; foto's zijn vaak onscherp. Het programma 'pakt' vaak een diafragmawaarde van tussen de 2.8 en 7.1. Tot 5.6 zijn de foto's eigenlijk altijd onscherp en dan is het geen bewegingsonscherpte en geen scherptediepteprobleem (denk ik), gewoon de hele foto is niet echt scherp. Mijn lens deed het op eerdere camera's prima. Fotograferen op AV programma (bijv. 7.1) geeft goede resultaten, maar dan schiet de ISO natuurlijk omhoog en wordt het snel korrelig.
    Mijn vragen: waarom gaat de camera in het P programma zo snel naar die lage diafragmawaarden, herkent iemand dit probleem en hoe krijg ik mijn foto's scherp? Gesteld op 19-8-2017 om 20:59

    Reageer op deze vraag Misbruik melden
    • Eigenlijk heb ik nog nooit op die P stand gewerkt, behalve vroeger op zo'n compact cameraatje omdat toen bleek dat men op die stand makkelijker in donkere ruimten kan fotograferen zonder flits zelfs.
      Uiteindelijk zou ik aanraden om die P stand te vergeten, omdat je daarmee (denk ik) al langere sluitertijden gaat hebben en dan wordt het snel wazig. Met de AV geef je zelf het diafragma aan en gaat de rest zich aanpassen. Ik heb ook eens de iso op automatisch laten staan en ja die schoot dan ook de hoogte in... niet goed dus.
      Wat ik aanraad is zo snel mogelijk leren fotograferen op de M (manueel) stand. Dan bepaal je zelf alle waarden en gaan de problemen die je nu ondervindt ook verdwijnen. Geantwoord op 19-8-2017 om 22:09

  • Veel dank voor dit antwoord. Ik weet hoe ik in M moet fotograferen, maar als het om de foto's van de dagelijkse dingen van de kinderen gaat, heb ik graag een makkelijker en vooral iets sneller alternatief voorhanden.

    Ik ga morgen eens een dag volautomatisch fotograferen, eens kijken of het probleem zich dan ook nog voordoet. En ik zal manueel kijken naar het gebruik van de lage diafragmawaarden en wat de camera dan doet. Dat heb ik eigenlijk niet zo scherp op mijn netvlies. Geantwoord op 19-8-2017 om 22:43

  • Ik vermoede het al... men spendeert € 1000 voor een camera, maar men heeft er geen flauw benul van voor wat die knopjes en cijfertjes allemaal dienen. Maar men komt o.a. hier wel aankloppen en verwacht dan een antwoord te hebben op alle vragen.
    Fotograferen is meer dan zomaar op het knopje te duwen. Het duurt jaren eer men kan zeggen dat men capabel is om een fatsoenlijke foto te maken. Als je zelf dan niet de tijd hebt om avondschool te gaan volgen, volg dan eens een workshop voor beginners. Op YouTube is er ook veel te vinden. Zelfs daarbuiten... groepen op Facebook ...
