Advanced Operations Y P O In Creative Zone modes, you can set the shutter speed and/ or aperture to set the exposure as desired. By changing the camera settings, you can obtain various results. C The M icon at the upper right of the page title indicates that the function is available only in Creative Zone modes (d/ s/f/a/F). After you press the shutter button halfway and let go, the exposure values will remain displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel for 4 sec. (0).
d: Program AE The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture to suit the subject’s brightness. This is called Program AE. * stands for Program. * AE stands for Auto Exposure. 1 Set the Mode Dial to . the subject. 2 Focus Look through the viewfinder and aim the AF point over the subject. Then press the shutter button halfway. X When focus is achieved, the focus confirmation light on the viewfinder’s bottom right will light up (when in One-Shot AF mode).
d: Program AE 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 and Modes In the mode, many functions, such as the AF operation and metering mode, are set automatically to prevent spoiled shots.
s: Shutter-Priority AE 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. * stands for Time value. Blurred motion (Slow shutter speed: 1/30 sec.) 1 Frozen action (Fast shutter speed: 1/2000 sec.
s: Shutter-Priority AE If the lower f/number blinks, it indicates underexposure. Turn the <6> dial to set a slower shutter speed until the aperture stops blinking or set a higher ISO speed. If the higher f/number blinks, it indicates overexposure. Turn the <6> dial to set a faster shutter speed until the aperture stops blinking or set a lower ISO speed. Shutter Speed Display The shutter speeds from “8000” to “4” indicate the denominator of the fractional shutter speed.
f: Aperture-Priority AE 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.
f: Aperture-Priority AE 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.

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. If the battery’s remaining capacity is 94% or higher, the battery will not be recharged (p.396). Do not recharge any battery pack other than genuine Canon Battery Pack LP-E6. The charger’s lamp blinks at high speed.
Troubleshooting Guide The access lamp still blinks even when the power switch is set to <2>. If the power is turned off while an image is being recorded to the card, the access lamp will remain on or continue to blink for a few seconds. When the image recording is completed, the power will turn off automatically. The battery becomes exhausted quickly. Use a fully-charged battery pack (p.28). The battery performance may have degraded. See [54: Battery info.
Troubleshooting Guide Shooting-Related Problems The lens cannot be attached. The camera cannot be used with EF-M lenses (p.40). The viewfinder is dark. Install a recharged battery pack in the camera (p.28). No images can be shot or recorded. Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.31). Slide the card’s write-protect switch to the write/erase position (p.31). If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to make space (p.31, 322).
Troubleshooting Guide The image is out of focus. Set the lens focus mode switch to (p.40). To prevent camera shake, press the shutter button gently (p.44, 45). 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.160), set a higher ISO speed (p.120), use flash (p.188, 193), or use a tripod. I cannot lock the focus and recompose the shot. Set the AF operation to One-Shot AF.
Troubleshooting Guide ISO 100 cannot be set. ISO speed expansion cannot be selected. When [z4: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Disable], ISO 100/125/ 160 can be set (p.145). If [z4: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable], the settable ISO speed range will be ISO 200 - ISO 12800 (or up to ISO 6400 for movie shooting). Even if you expand the settable ISO speed range in [ISO speed range], you cannot set expanded ISO speeds (H). The Auto Lighting Optimizer cannot be set.
Troubleshooting Guide The built-in flash is raised by itself. In shooting modes (<2><4><6>) whose default setting is (Auto flash), the built-in flash will rise automatically when necessary. The built-in flash does not fire. If you shoot continuously with the built-in flash at short intervals, the flash may stop operating to protect the flash unit. The external flash does not fire. If you use a non-Canon flash unit with Live View shooting, set [A2: Silent LV shoot.] to [Disable] (p.231).
Troubleshooting Guide 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.217). During Live View and movie shooting, a white < red icon is displayed. > or It indicates that the camera’s internal temperature is high. If the white < > icon is displayed, the still photo’s image quality may deteriorate. If the red icon is displayed, it indicates that the Live View or movie shooting will soon stop automatically (p.
Troubleshooting Guide The manually set ISO speed changes when switching to movie shooting. If you shoot a movie when [Maximum: H (25600)] is set with [ISO speed range] and ISO speed is set to “H” (25600), the ISO speed will switch to “H” (12800) (during movie shooting with manual exposure). Even if you switch back to still photo shooting, the ISO speed will not revert to the original setting. The exposure changes during movie shooting.
Troubleshooting Guide Wi-Fi Wi-Fi cannot be set.* If the camera is connected to a printer, computer, GPS receiver, or other device with an interface cable, Wi-Fi cannot be set ([53: Wi-Fi] will be grayed out). Disconnect the interface cable, then set the Wi-Fi. For details, refer to the Wi-Fi Function Instruction Manual. * The EOS 70D (N) does not have the Wi-Fi function. Operation Problems I cannot change the setting with the <6> dial, <5> dial, or <9>.
Troubleshooting Guide Display Problems The menu screen shows few tabs and options. In Basic Zone modes, certain tabs and menu options are not displayed. Set the shooting mode to a Creative Zone mode (p.52). The file name’s first character is an underscore (“_”). Set the color space to sRGB. If Adobe RGB is set, the first character will be an underscore (p.155). The file name starts with “MVI_”. It is a movie file (p.152). Y P O The file numbering does not start from 0001.
Troubleshooting Guide 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 may look black. It will return to normal at room temperature. [Eye-Fi settings] does not appear. [Eye-Fi settings] will appear only when an Eye-Fi card is inserted in the camera.
Troubleshooting Guide When the movie is played back, camera operation noise can be heard. If you operate the camera’s dials or lens during movie shooting, the operation noise will also be recorded. Using an external microphone (commercially available) is recommended (p.269). The movie has still moments. During autoexposure movie shooting, if there is a drastic change in the exposure level, the recording will stop momentarily until the brightness stabilizes.
Troubleshooting Guide I cannot process the RAW image. 41 and 61 images cannot be processed with the camera. Use the provided software Digital Photo Professional to process the image (p.456). I cannot resize the image. c JPEG images and 1/41/61 images cannot be resized with the camera (p.333). Sensor Cleaning Problems The shutter makes a noise during sensor cleaning. If you selected [Clean nowf], the shutter will make a noise, but no picture is taken (p.340).
Troubleshooting Guide Computer Connection Problems I cannot transfer images to a personal computer. Install the provided software (EOS DIGITAL Solution Disk CD-ROM) on the computer (p.456). If [53: Wi-Fi] is set to [Enable], the camera cannot be connected to a computer. Set [Wi-Fi] to [Disable], then connect the camera to the computer with an interface cable.
Error Codes If there is a problem with the camera, an error message will appear. Follow the onscreen instructions. Error number Cause and countermeasures Number Error Message and Solution Communications between the camera and lens is faulty. Clean the lens contacts. 01 Î Clean the electrical contacts on the camera and lens, use a Canon lens, or remove and install the battery pack again (p.19, 20, 30). Y P O Card cannot be accessed.
