    LCD DisplaysLCD displays operate more slowly at low temperatures, and may appeardark 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 andcorrosion.

    Never disassemble or recharge the batteries. Also, never store abattery 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, batteryperformance may decline slightly at freezing temperatures. In such acase, keep spare batteries warm in a pocket, etc., and use and warmthe batteries alternately.

    How Low Battery Levels Affect Camera OperationOn 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 mightstop midway or not work at all and the < r > icon may blink on the LCDpanel. After the batteries are replaced with new ones, film advance willbe possible and film rewind can resume by pressing the button.

    Lens Electrical ContactsAfter detaching the lens from the camera, put onthe lens caps or put down the lens with the rearend up to avoid scratching the lens surface andelectrical contacts.

    How the Shutter Button Works

    If an Extender (sold separately) is used and the maximum aperture (thelowest f/number) of the lens becomes smaller than f/5.6, autofocusing will notoperate.

    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:s Pressing the shutter button down

    halfway activates autofocusing (AF)and automatic exposure (AE) and theshutter speed and aperture value areset.

    s The exposure (the combination ofshutter speed and aperture value)

    appears on the LCD panel and in theviewfinder ( 0 ).

    When it is pressed fully:s The shutter is released to take the

    picture and the film advances by oneframe.

    After pressing the shutter button halfway, wait a moment before pressing itcompletely to take the picture. If you press the shutter button completely atone stroke or right after pressing it halfway, it will take a moment before thepicture is taken.

    Camera movement during the moment of exposure is called camera shake.Camera shake can cause blurred pictures. To prevent blurred pictures due tocamera 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 confirmationlight 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.

    Under low-light conditions, the built-in flash fires a brief burst of flashes

    when you press the shutter button halfway. This is to illuminate thesubject to enable easier autofocusing.

    The AF-assist beam does not function in the < I >

    modes.

    The built-in flashs AF-assist beam is effective up to about 4 meters/13.1feet. In the Creative Zone modes, if the built-in flash is popped up, the AF-assist

    light will emitted when necessary.

    Take the picture. Compose the shot and press the

    shutter button fully.

    When focus is achieved, the autofocus and auto exposure setting will also belocked.

    If the focus confirmation light < n > blinks, the picture cannot be taken. (p.51) Out of the seven AF points, the one covering the closest subject is selected

    automatically to achieve focus. If multiple AF points flash in red simultaneously, it indicates that all those AF

    points have achieved focus. In the Basic Zone modes (except < I >

    ), the built-in flash will pop up

    and fire automatically in low-light or backlit conditions. To retract the flash,push it back down.

    Programmed Image Control Modes

    This mode blurs the background to make thehuman 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 thesubject stand closer to the camera.

    s This automatically sets the AF mode to, the film advance mode to < H >,and the metering mode to < Z >.

    Select a shooting mode to suit the target subject, and the camera will beset to obtain the best results.

    This is for wide scenic views, night scenes, etc. Using a wide-angle lens will further enhance the

    depth and breadth of the picture.s This automatically sets the AF mode to, the film advance mode to < J >(single-frame shooting), and the metering modeto .

    U Portrait

    I Landscape

    Use this mode to take close-up shots offlowers, 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 EOS-

    dedicated macro lenses are recommended.s This automatically sets the AF mode to

    , the film advance mode to < J >(single-frame shooting), and the metering modeto .

    A blinking shutter speed indicates that the shutter speed is too slow toprevent a blurred picture caused by camera shake. Hold the camera steady

    and press the shutter button smoothly, or use a tripod. (The shutter speedindicator still blinks when you use a tripod, but camera shake will not be aproblem.)

    In the < A > mode, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.

    This is for fast-moving subjects when you want

    to freeze the action. The camera will first track the subject with thecenter AF point. Focus tracking will thencontinue with any of the seven AF pointscovering the subject.

    While you hold down the shutter button, focusingwill continue for continuous shooting.

    Using a telephoto lens and ISO 400 or higherspeed film is recommended. The focus confirmation light will not light evenwhen focus is achieved.

    s This automatically sets the AF mode to, the film advance mode to < H >,and the metering mode to < Z >.

    P Sports

    This mode is for taking pictures of people attwilight or at night. The flash illuminates thesubject while a slow sync speed obtains anatural-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.s This automatically sets the AF mode to

    , the film advance mode to < J >(single-frame shooting), and the metering modeto < Z >.

    F Using Red-eye Reduction (with the built-in flash)When flash is used in a low-light environment, the subjects eyes maycome out red in the photograph. Red eye happens when the light fromthe flash reflects off the retina of the eyes. The cameras red-eye reduction

    feature turns on the red-eye reduction lamp to shine a gentle light into thesubjects eyes to narrow the pupil diameter or iris. A smaller pupil reducesthe chances of red eye from occurring. Red-eye reduction can be set inany shooting mode except < I >

    .

    2 Turn the < l > dial to set E onthe LCD panel. Press the shutter button halfway to

    return to normal camera operation. To cancel red-eye reduction, set Won the LCD panel.

    1 Move the < 7 > arrow to the < F >icon on the LCD panel. Look at the LCD panel and press the

    button to move the arrow.(1 )

    When you press the shutter button halfway, the

    red-eye reduction lamp-on indicator will appear inviewfinder and on the LCD panel. Red-eye reduction will not work unless the

    subject looks at the red-eye reduction lamp. Tellthe subject to look at the lamp.

    For maximum effectiveness, press the shutterbutton fully after the red-eye reduction lamp turnsoff (after 1.5 sec.).

    You can take a picture even while the red-eye reduction lamp is lit. The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies depending on the subject. To further increase the effectiveness of red-eye reduction, go to a brighter

    environment or move closer to the subject.

    Selecting the AF Mode

    When focus is achieved, the focus confirmation light < n > in the viewfinderwill not light and the beeper will not sound.

    If the focus confirmation light < n > in the viewfinder blinks, it means focushas not been achieved. Focus lock cannot be used.

    With C.Fn-04-2, holding down the < w > button will temporarily stop theAF operation in the AI Servo AF mode. (p.85)

    Predictive AFIf the subject approaches or retreats from the camera at a constant rate,the camera tracks the subject and predicts the focusing distanceimmediately before the picture is taken. This is for obtaining correct focusat the moment of exposure.

    When the AF point selection is automatic, the camera first uses thecenter AF point to focus. If the subject moves away from the center AFpoint, focus tracking continues as long as the subject is covered byanother AF point. The active AF point will not flash in red.

    With a manually selected AF point, the selected AF point is used forpredictive AF.

    In the Eye Control mode, Eye Control Servo AF (p.49) will be used. Aslong 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.

    AI Focus AF for Automatic AF Mode Switching

    The AI Focus AF mode switchesautomatically from One-Shot AF to AIServo AF if the subject starts to move.If focus is achieved in the One-Shot AFmode and the subject starts to movecontinuously, the camera will detect themovement and switch automatically toAI Servo AF to focus track the subject.

    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 slidedown your nose.

    Eye Control calibration and operation might not be possible in thefollowing 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.

    Intelligent Eye ControlYou can repeat the calibration procedure under different conditions suchas when you are outdoors, indoors, or at night. The camera can savethese additional calibration settings under the same CAL No. Byaccumulating more calibration settings, the camera can provide moreprecise Eye Control.

    Two or more users must not share the same CAL No. Each user should havehis or her own CAL No. If necessary, delete the calibration settings savedunder another CAL No. to store another users calibration settings. (p.47)

    Z Evaluative meteringThis is the cameras standard metering mode suited formost shooting including backlit conditions. Based on the

    subjects position in the viewfinder, brightness, background,front or back lighting conditions, etc., the camera alwayscalculates the proper exposure for the subject. During manual focusing, evaluative metering is based on the

    center AF point. If the subject brightness and background light level are very

    different (strong backlight or spotlight), partial metering ( X )is recommended instead.

    XPartial metering

    This is effective for backlit subjects. An area covering about10% of the viewfinder screen at the center is used formetering. The partial metering area is shown on the left.

    C Center-weighted averaging meteringThe metering is weighted at the center and then averagedfor the entire scene.

    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

    . The result will be the same as using the < S > mode. The < Q > mode cannot be used if you use flash or remote control.Theresult 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-limitingswitch, set the switch to minimum focusing distance - .

    To cancel < Q > at any time, turn the Mode Dial to any setting except.

    To check the depth of field while using depth-of-field AE, set DEP points 1and 2 and press the shutter button halfway. Then press the depth-of-fieldpreview 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.

    Reference

    Basic Photography Terms

    AEAbbreviation for auto exposure. It is an automatic metering and exposuresystem that sets the optimum exposure (shutter speed and/or aperturevalue) based on the reading by the built-in exposure meter.

    ExposureExposure occurs when the film is exposed to light. Correct exposure isobtained when the film is exposed to a proper amount of light inaccordance with the films sensitivity to light. The correct exposure isadjusted with the cameras shutter speed and aperture.

    Shutter speedThe shutter speed is the length of time the cameras shutter opens toexpose the film to the light coming through the lens. The camera displaysthe shutter speed from D (1/4000 sec.) to K (30 sec.) andy .

    Aperture valueThe aperture setting (f-number) indicatesthe size of the aperture opening in thelens. It is used to adjust the amount of lightstriking the film. The camera can displaythe aperture setting from X to V . Theactual aperture range displayed dependson the lens.

    ISO film speedThe ISO film speed indicates the films sensitivity to light. The higher thefilm speed, the more sensitive the film is. Therefore, ISO 400 and higher-speed films are suited for low-light conditions. The ISO film speed is setin accordance with standards set by the International StandardizationOrganization (ISO). The camera can display the ISO film speed from Uto F .

    Depth of fieldThis is the range where acceptable focus can be achieved in front of andbehind the point of focus. The smaller the aperture value (the higher the

    f/number), the deeper the depth of field. And the larger the aperturevalue (the lower the f/number), the shallower the depth of field.

    The depth of field is affected as described below:(1) A smaller aperture value (a higher f/number) increases the depth of

    field.For example, stopping down to f/8 obtains a deeper depth of fieldthan 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 telephotolens.

    (3) A longer distance between the camera and subject increases thedepth of field.

    (4) The depth of field behind the point of optimum focus (2) is longer thanthe depth of field in front of the point of optimum focus (1).

    Program Line DescriptionThe bottom horizontal axis represents the shutter speed and the right

    vertical axis represents the aperture value. On the left edge and topedge of the graph, the Exposure Value (EV) is indicated for therespective shutter speed and aperture value combination set by theProgram AE mode and denoted by the program line.

    Example: When the 105mm focal length is used and the subjectbrightness is EV 12, the point where the diagonal line from EV 12 (onthe top edge of the graph) intersects the program line indicates thecorresponding shutter speed (1/125 sec.) and aperture value (f/5.6)which the program sets automatically.The arrowhead lines above the graph indicate the metering range for therespective film speed.
