3 Custom Function SettingsN Custom Functions are organized into four groups based on the function type: C.Fn I: Exposure, C.Fn II: Image, C.Fn III: Autofocus/Drive, C.Fn IV: Operation/Others. C.Fn I: Exposure C.Fn-1 Exposure level increments 0: 1/3-stop 1: 1/2-stop Sets 1/2-stop increments for the shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation, AEB, flash exposure compensation, etc. Effective when you prefer to control the exposure in less fine increments than 1/3-stop increments.
3 Custom Function SettingsN C.Fn II: Image C.Fn-3 Long exposure noise reduction 0: Off 1: Auto For 1 sec. or longer exposures, noise reduction is performed automatically if noise typical of long exposures is detected. This [Auto] setting is effective in most cases. 2: On Noise reduction is performed for all exposures of 1 sec. or longer. The [On] setting may be effective for noise that cannot be detected or reduced with the [Auto] setting.
3 Custom Function SettingsN With setting 2, the continuous shooting speed will be slower (with the image-recording quality set to JPEG or 1+73). The maximum burst during continuous shooting will also decrease (with the image-recording quality set to JPEG or 1).

External Speedlites EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlites Basically operates like a built-in flash for easy operation. When an EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) is attached to the camera, almost all the autoflash control is done by the camera. In other words, it is like a high-output flash attached externally in place of the built-in flash. For detailed instructions, see the EX-series Speedlite’s instruction manual. This camera is a Type-A camera that can use all the features of EX-series Speedlites.
External Speedlites Canon Speedlites other than the EX-series With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set in TTL or A-TTL autoflash mode, the flash can be fired at full output only.

Troubleshooting Guide If a problem occurs with the camera, first refer to this Troubleshooting Guide. If this Troubleshooting Guide does not resolve the problem, contact your dealer or nearest Canon Service Center. Power-Related Problems The battery pack does not recharge. Do not recharge any battery pack other than a genuine Canon Battery Pack LP-E10. The battery charger’s lamp blinks.
Troubleshooting Guide If you use Live View shooting or shoot movies for a prolonged period (p.121, 139), the number of possible shots will decrease. If you hold down the shutter button for a long time or often use only the AF without taking pictures, the number of possible shots will decrease. If you often use the LCD monitor, the number of possible shots will decrease. If you use the lens Image Stabilizer, the number of possible shots will decrease. The camera turns off by itself.
Troubleshooting Guide The file numbering does not start from 0001. If the card already contains recorded images, the image number might not start from 0001 (p.158). The image is out of focus. Set the lens focus mode switch to (p.35). To prevent camera shake, press the shutter button gently (p.38, 39). If the lens has an Image Stabilizer, set the IS switch to <1>. In low light, the shutter speed may become slow. Use a faster shutter speed (p.92), set a higher ISO speed (p.77), use flash (p.
Troubleshooting Guide The Auto Lighting Optimizer cannot be set. Under the [7 Custom Functions (C.Fn)] menu, if [5: Highlight tone priority] is set to [1: Enable], the Auto Lighting Optimizer cannot be set. If [0: Disable] is set, the Auto Lighting Optimizer can be set (p.107). When I use the mode with flash, the shutter speed becomes slow.
Troubleshooting Guide High-speed sync cannot be set in the mode. Under [7 Custom Functions (C.Fn)], set [2: Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to [0: Auto] (p.218). The camera makes a noise when it is shaken. The built-in flash’s pop-up mechanism moves slightly. This is normal. The shutter makes two shooting sounds during Live View shooting. If you use flash, the shutter will make two sounds each time you shoot (p.123). During Live View shooting and movie shooting, the E icon appears.
Troubleshooting Guide Playback Problems The LCD monitor does not display a clear image. If the LCD monitor is dirty, use a soft cloth to clean it. In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow or might look black. It will return to normal at room temperature. Part of the image blinks in black. It is the highlight alert (p.200). Overexposed highlight areas with a loss of highlight detail will blink. The image cannot be erased.
Troubleshooting Guide I cannot connect the camera to my TV set. An HDMI cable (sold separately) is necessary to connect the camera to a TV set. Using the HDMI Cable HTC-100 (sold separately) is recommended (p.191). Also check that your TV set has an HDMI IN terminal. If the TV set does not have an HDMI IN terminal and has only an A/V IN jack, the camera cannot be connected. No image appears on the TV screen. Make sure the HDMI cable’s plug is inserted all the way in (p.191).
Troubleshooting Guide The file name starts with “MVI_”. It is a movie file (p.159). The shooting date and time displayed is incorrect. The correct date and time has not been set (p.33). The date and time is not in the picture. The shooting date and time does not appear in the picture. The date and time is instead recorded in the image data as shooting information. When printing, you can imprint the date and time in the picture by using the date and time recorded in the shooting information (p.207).
Error Codes Error No. If there is a problem with the camera, an error message will appear. Follow the onscreen instructions. Countermeasures No. 01 02 Error Message & Solution Communications between the camera and lens is faulty. Clean the lens contacts. Y P O Î Clean the electrical contacts on the camera and lens and use a Canon lens (p.15, 18). Card cannot be accessed. Reinsert/change card or format card with camera.
