AF Area Selection ModesN Single-point Spot AF (Manual selection) For pinpoint focusing over a narrower area than with single-point AF (manual selection). Select one AF point < > to focus. Effective for pinpoint focusing or focusing overlapping subjects such as an animal in a cage. Since Single-point Spot AF (manual selection) covers a very small area, focusing may be difficult during hand-held shooting or for a moving subject.
AF Area Selection ModesN AF point expansion (Manual selection, surrounding points) The manually-selected AF point and surrounding AF points are used to focus. The AF point expansion is larger than with AF point expansion (manual selection ), so the focusing is executed over a wider area. Effective when it is difficult to track a moving subject with just one AF point. AI Servo AF and One-Shot AF work in the same way as with AF point expansion (manual selection ) mode (p.95).
AF Area Selection ModesN Large Zone AF (Manual selection of zone) The AF area is divided into three focusing zones (left, center, and right) for focusing. Since the focusing area is larger than with Zone AF, it is superior in focusing on the subject. Since auto selection AF is used, it is superior to single-point AF or AF point expansion in achieving focus, making it effective for moving subjects.
AF Area Selection ModesN When AI Servo AF mode is set with 65-point automatic selection AF, Large Zone AF (manual selection of zone), or Zone AF (manual selection of zone), the active AF point 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 may become slower.
AF Sensor The camera’s AF sensor has 65 AF points. The illustration below shows the AF sensor pattern corresponding to each AF point. With f/2.8 or larger maximum aperture lenses, high-precision AF is possible with the center AF point.

The color temperature can be set from approx. 2500 K to 10000 K in 100 K increments.
u White Balance CorrectionN You can correct the white balance that is set. This adjustment will have the same effect as using a commercially-available color temperature conversion filter or color compensating filter. Each color can be corrected to one of nine levels. This function is for advanced users who are familiar with using color temperature conversion or color compensating filters. White Balance Correction 1 Select [WB Shift/Bkt.]. Under the [z2] tab, select [WB Shift/Bkt.], then press <0>.
u White Balance CorrectionN White Balance Auto Bracketing 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. Set the white balance bracketing amount.
u White Balance CorrectionN During WB bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will be lower and the number of possible shots will also decrease to one-third the normal number. Since three images are recorded for one shot, it takes longer to record the image to the card. 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.
3 Auto Correction of Brightness and ContrastN If the image comes out dark or the contrast is low, the brightness and contrast can be corrected automatically. This function is called Auto Lighting Optimizer. The default setting is [Standard]. With JPEG images, the correction is applied when the image is captured. [Standard] is automatically set in the mode. 1 Select [Auto Lighting Optimizer]. Under the [z2] tab, select [Auto Lighting Optimizer], then press <0>. the setting.
3 Setting Noise ReductionN High ISO Speed Noise Reduction This function reduces the noise generated in the image. Although noise reduction is applied at all ISO speeds, it is particularly effective at high ISO speeds. At low ISO speeds, the noise in the darker parts of the image (shadow areas) is further reduced. 1 Select [High ISO speed NR]. Under the [z3] tab, select [High ISO speed NR], then press <0>. the level. 2 SetSelect the desired noise reduction Y P O level, then press <0>.
3 Setting Noise ReductionN 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 moving subject may leave afterimages. The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice, stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.
3 Setting Noise ReductionN Long Exposure Noise Reduction Noise reduction is possible with images exposed for 1 sec. or longer. 1 Select [Long exp. noise reduction]. Under the [z3] tab, select [Long exp. noise reduction], then press <0>. the desired setting. 2 SetSelect the desired setting, then press <0>. Y P O Auto For exposures of 1 sec. or longer, noise reduction is performed automatically if noise typical of long exposures is detected. This [Auto] setting is effective in most cases.
3 Setting Noise ReductionN With [Auto] and [Enable], the noise reduction process after the picture is taken may take the same amount of time as that for the exposure. During noise reduction, shooting is still possible as long as the maximum burst indicator in the viewfinder shows “1” or higher. Images taken at ISO 1600 or higher may look grainier with the [Enable] setting than with the [Disable] or [Auto] setting.
3 Highlight Tone PriorityN You can reduce overexposed highlight areas. 1 Select [Highlight tone priority]. Under the [z3] tab, select [Highlight tone priority], then press <0>. [Enable]. 2 Select Highlight details are improved. The dynamic range is expanded from the standard 18% gray to bright highlights. The gradation between the grays and highlights becomes smoother. Y P O picture. 3 TakeThetheimage will be recorded with C highlight tone priority applied.
3 Correction of Lens Peripheral Illumination and Aberrations Peripheral light fall-off is a phenomenon that makes the image corners look darker due to the lens characteristics. Color fringing along subject outlines is called chromatic aberration. And image distortion due to lens characteristics is called distortion. These lens aberrations and light falloff can be corrected.
3 Correction of Lens Peripheral Illumination and Aberrations Chromatic Aberration Correction 1 Select the setting. Check that [Correction data available] is displayed for the attached lens. Select [Chromatic aberration], then press <0>. Select [Enable], then press <0>. picture. 2 TakeThetheimage will be recorded with the chromatic aberration corrected. Distortion Correction 1 Y P O Select the setting. Check that [Correction data available] is displayed for the attached lens.
3 Correction of Lens Peripheral Illumination and Aberrations When distortion correction is enabled, the camera records an image range narrower than that seen through the viewfinder. (Image periphery will be slightly cropped and resolution slightly lowered.) If you set [Distortion] to [Enable], the maximum burst (p.153) during continuous shooting will decrease. Distortion will not be corrected if you shoot a movie or set the HDR mode, multiple exposures, or Multi Shot Noise Reduction.
3 Correction of Lens Peripheral Illumination and Aberrations Cautions for Lens Correction Peripheral illumination correction, chromatic aberration correction, and distortion 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.
3 Reducing FlickerN If you shoot an image with a fast shutter speed under a light source such as fluorescent light, the blinking of the light source causes flicker and the image may be vertically unevenly exposed. If continuous shooting is used under these conditions, uneven exposures or colors across the images may result. With anti-flicker shooting, the camera detects the frequency of the light source’s blinking and takes the picture when the flicker’s effect on the exposure or color is minimal.
3 Reducing FlickerN If the subject is against a dark background or if there is a bright light in the image, flicker may not be detected. Under certain special types of lighting, the camera may not be able to reduce the effects of the flicker even while is displayed. Depending on the light source, flicker may not be detected properly. If you recompose a shot, may appear and disappear intermittently.
3 Setting the Color SpaceN The range of reproducible colors is called “color space”. With this camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or Adobe RGB. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended. The color space is set automatically to [sRGB] in the mode. 1 Select [Color space].

6 Advanced Operations Y P O In the shooting modes, you can select the shutter speed, aperture, and other camera settings to change the exposure and obtain the desired result. C A M icon at the upper right of a page title indicates a function that can be used only in these modes: . 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 . on 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 indicator in the viewfinder will light up (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 matching the brightness of the subject. This is called shutter-priority AE. A faster shutter speed can freeze the action of 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 Y P O 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.
a: Manual Exposure In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture as desired. To determine the exposure, refer to the exposure level indicator in the viewfinder or use a commercially-available exposure meter. This method is called manual exposure. * stands for Manual.

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.470). Do not use any battery pack other than genuine Battery Pack LP-E6N/ LP-E6. The charger’s lamp blinks at high speed.
Troubleshooting Guide The access lamp still lights or blinks even when the power switch is <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. [Cannot communicate with battery] is displayed. Do not use any battery pack other than a genuine Battery Pack LP-E6N/LP-E6. Remove and install the battery again (p.40).
Troubleshooting Guide Auto power off does not work. During interval timer shooting, auto power off will not take effect (p.250). Shooting-Related Problems The lens cannot be attached. The camera cannot be used with EF-M lenses (p.50). The viewfinder is dark. Install a recharged battery pack in the camera (p.38). Y P O No images can be shot or recorded. Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.41). If you are using an SD card, slide the card’s write-protect switch to the Write/Erase setting (p.41).
Troubleshooting Guide I have to press the shutter button twice completely to take a picture. If [z4: Mirror lockup] is set to [Enable], set it to [Disable]. The image is out of focus. Set the lens’s focus mode switch to (p.50). Press the shutter button gently to prevent camera shake (p.54-55). 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.218), set a higher ISO speed (p.154), use flash (p.
Troubleshooting Guide AF speed changes depending on lenses used. During Live View shooting and movie shooting, the AF control method (phase-difference detection with the image sensor or contrast detection) switches automatically depending on the lens type and function used such as magnified view. The AF speed may therefore change greatly and focusing may take longer. Focusing takes a long time. If FlexiZone - Multi is set, it may take longer to focus on the subject depending on the shooting conditions.
Troubleshooting Guide ISO 100 cannot be set. ISO speed expansion cannot be selected. If [z3: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable], the settable ISO speed range will be ISO 200 - ISO 16000. Even if you expand the settable ISO speed range with [ISO speed range], you cannot select the H1 (equivalent to ISO 25600) or H2 (equivalent to ISO 51200). When [z3: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Disable], ISO 100/125/ 160, H1, or H2 can be set (p.180).
Troubleshooting Guide The multiple-exposure image is shot in 1 quality. When the image-recording quality is set to 41 or 61, the multiple-exposure image will be recorded in 1 quality (p.245). When I use the mode with flash, the shutter speed becomes slow. If you shoot at night when the background is dark, the shutter speed automatically becomes slow (slow-sync shooting) so that both the subject and background are properly exposed.
Troubleshooting Guide The external flash always fires at full output. If you use a flash unit other than an EX-series Speedlite, the flash will always be fired at full output (p.260). When the external Speedlite’s Custom Function setting for [Flash metering mode] is set to [TTL flash metering] (autoflash), the flash will always be fired at full output (p.271). Flash exposure compensation cannot be set for the external Speedlite.
Troubleshooting Guide Movie shooting stops by itself. If the card’s writing speed is slow, movie shooting may stop automatically. For cards that can record movies, see page 5. To find out the card’s writing speed, refer to the card manufacturer’s Web site. If the movie shooting time reaches 29 min. 59 sec., the movie shooting will stop automatically. Movie Servo AF cannot be used. The movie recording size is set to L 8(59.94 fps) or 7(50.00 fps). The ISO speed cannot be set for movie shooting.
Troubleshooting Guide The image flickers or horizontal stripes appear during movie shooting. Flickering, horizontal stripes (noise), or irregular exposures can be caused by fluorescent lighting, LED lighting, or other light sources during movie shooting. Also, changes in the exposure (brightness) or color tone may be recorded. In the mode, a slow shutter speed may reduce the problem. The subject looks distorted during movie shooting.
Troubleshooting Guide Operation Problems I cannot change the setting with the <6> dial, <5> dial, <9>, or
. Set the switch to the left (lock release, p.59). Check the [83: Multi function lock] setting (p.442). A camera button or dial does not work as expected. Check the [83: Custom Controls] setting (p.445). Display Problems Y P O The menu screen shows fewer tabs and options. In the mode, only certain menu tabs and options are displayed. Set the shooting mode to (p.64).
Troubleshooting Guide The shooting date and time displayed is incorrect. Check that the correct date and time are set (p.47). Check the time zone and daylight saving time (p.47-48). The date and time are not in the picture. The shooting date and time do not appear in the picture. The date and time are recorded in the image data as shooting information. When printing, you can imprint the date and time in the picture, using the date and time recorded in the shooting information (p.417, 421).
Troubleshooting Guide Playback Problems Part of the image blinks in black. [33: Highlight alert] is set to [Enable] (p.359). A red box is displayed on the image. [33: AF point disp.] is set to [Enable] (p.359). The image cannot be erased. If the image is protected, it cannot be erased (p.368). The movie cannot be played back. Y P O Movies edited with a computer using ImageBrowser EX (EOS software, p.537) or other software cannot be played back with the camera.
Troubleshooting Guide No picture on the TV set. Set the [53: Video system] correctly to [For NTSC] or [For PAL]. Check that the HDMI cable’s plug is inserted all the way in (p.385). If [z5: HDMI output+LCD] is set to [Mirroring], the movie will not appear on the TV set via HDMI output even during playback. There are multiple movie files for a single movie shoot. If the movie file size reaches 4 GB, another movie file will be created automatically (p.335). My card reader does not recognize the card.
Troubleshooting Guide 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.406). Automatic sensor cleaning does not work. If you repeatedly turn the power switch <1> / <2> at a short interval, the icon may not be displayed (p.45). Printing-Related Problems Y P O There are fewer printing effects than listed in the instruction manual.
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.21, 22, 40). Y P O Card* cannot be accessed.
