AF Area Selection ModesN AF point expansion (Manual selection, surrounding points) The manually-selected AF point and adjacent 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.75).
AF Area Selection ModesN 61-point automatic selection AF All the AF points are used to focus. This mode is set automatically in the mode. With One-Shot AF, pressing the shutter button halfway will display the AF point(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.74) AF point is used first to achieve focus.
About the AF Sensor The camera’s AF sensor has 61 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 at the viewfinder center. Depending on the lens attached to the camera, the number of usable AF points and AF pattern will differ. For details, see pages 79 to 84. Diagram Cross-type focusing: f/4 horizontal + f/5.6 vertical Cross-type focusing: f/5.6 vertical + f/5.6 horizontal f/5.
Lenses and Usable AF Points Although the camera has 61 AF points, the number of usable AF points and focusing patterns will differ depending on the lens. The lenses are thereby classified into eight groups from A to H. Check which group your lens belongs to. When using a lens in Groups F to H, fewer AF points will be usable. When you press the button, the AF points indicated by the mark will blink. (The / / AF points will stay lit.) Both “Extender EF 1.

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 (p.338) is 94% or higher, the battery will not be recharged. 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/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 [53: Battery info.
Troubleshooting Guide Shooting-Related Problems The lens cannot be attached. The camera cannot be used with EF-S lenses (p.39). The viewfinder is dark. Install a recharged battery pack in the camera (p.28). No images can be shot or recorded. The card is not properly inserted (p.31). If you are using an SD card, slide the card’s write-protect switch to the Write/Erase setting (p.31). If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to make room (p.31, 277).
Troubleshooting Guide The image is out of focus. Set the lens focus mode switch to (p.39). To prevent camera shake, press the shutter button gently (p.43, 44). If the lens has an Image Stabilizer, set the IS switch to <1> (p.42). In low light, the shutter speed may become slow. Use a faster shutter speed (p.162), set a higher ISO speed (p.124), use flash (p.188), or use a tripod. There are fewer AF points. Depending on the attached lens, the number of usable AF points and patterns will differ.
Troubleshooting Guide The maximum burst during continuous shooting is lower. If you shoot something that has fine detail (such as a field of grass), the file size will be larger and the actual maximum burst may be lower than the number mentioned on page 121. 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 200-25600 (or up to 12800 for movie shooting).
Troubleshooting Guide 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 becomes slow automatically (slow-sync shooting) so that both the subject and background are properly exposed. To prevent a slow shutter speed, under [z1: External Speedlite control], set [Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to [1/200-1/60 sec. auto] or [1/200 sec. (fixed)] (p.192). The flash does not fire.
Troubleshooting Guide During Live View and movie shooting, a white icon is displayed. or red E It indicates that the camera’s internal temperature is high. If the white < > icon 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 be terminated automatically (p.215, 241). Movie shooting terminates by itself. If the card’s writing speed is slow, movie shooting may stop automatically.
Troubleshooting Guide The manually set ISO speed changes when switching to movie shooting. If you shoot a movie when [Maximum: 25600] is set with [ISO speed range] and ISO speed is set to ISO 16000/20000/25600, the ISO speed will switch to ISO12800 (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. If you shoot a movie when 1. L (50) or 2. H1 (51200)/H2 (102400) is set, the ISO speed setting will switch to 1.
Troubleshooting Guide When I shoot still photos during movie shooting, the movie shooting stops. To shoot still photos during movie shooting, using a CF card compatible with UDMA transfer rates is recommended. Setting a lower image quality for still photos and shooting fewer continuous still photos can also resolve the problem. Time code is off. Shooting still photos during movie shooting will cause a discrepancy between the actual time and time code.
Troubleshooting Guide The fourth character in the file name changes. With [51: File name], select the camera’s unique file name or the file name registered under User setting 1 (p.152). The file numbering does not start from 0001. If the card already contains recorded images, the image number may not start from 0001 (p.154). The shooting date and time displayed is incorrect. The correct date and time has not been set (p.36). Check the time zone and daylight savings time (p.37).
Troubleshooting Guide [Eye-Fi settings] does not appear. [Eye-Fi settings] will appear only when an Eye-Fi card is inserted into the camera. If the Eye-Fi card has a write-protect switch set to the LOCK position, you will not be able to check the card’s connection status or disable Eye-Fi card transmission (p.344). Playback Problems Part of the image blinks in black. [33: Highlight alert] is set to [Enable] (p.247). A red box is displayed on the image. [33: AF point disp.] is set to [Enable] (p.247).
Troubleshooting Guide No image appears on the TV screen. Use the stereo AV cable that came with the camera (p.271). Make sure the stereo AV cable or HDMI cable’s plug is inserted all the way in (p.268, 271). Set the video OUT system (NTSC/PAL) to the same video system as the TV set (p.271). 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.232). 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.290). Automatic sensor cleaning does not work. If you repeatedly turn the power switch <1> and <2> at a short interval, the icon may not be displayed (p.34). Printing-Related Problems There are fewer printing effects than listed in the instruction manual.
