If focus cannot be achieved, the focus indicator will blink. Shoot continuously. The default setting is (High-speed continuous shooting).
8: r Panning If you want to take a picture with the feel of speed and a blurred motion effect on the subject’s background, use (Panning). With Live View shooting, if you use a lens supporting the mode, subject blur is detected, corrected, and reduced. Shooting Tips Turn the camera to follow the moving subject. When shooting, turn the camera smoothly as you track the moving subject.
8: r Panning Set the level of background motion blur. With [Effect], you can set the level of background motion blur. The [Max] setting will set a slower shutter speed to increase the background motion blur around the subject. If the subject blur is noticeable, set [Effect] to [Med] or [Min] to reduce the blur. See the cautions on page 122. To see which lenses support the mode, refer to the Canon Web site.
8: 4 Shooting Close-ups When you want to shoot flowers or small things up close, use the <4> (Close-up) mode. To make small things appear much larger, use a macro lens (sold separately). Shooting Tips Use a simple background. A simple background makes small objects such as flowers stand out better. Move in as close as possible to the subject. Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance.
8: P Shooting Food When you want to take pictures of food, use
(Food). The photo will look bright and appetizing. Also, depending on the light source, the reddish tinge will be suppressed in the pictures taken under tungsten lights, etc. Shooting Tips Change the color tone. You can change [Color tone].

8: y Shooting Candlelight Portraits When you want to photograph a person in candlelight, use (Candlelight). The atmosphere of candlelight is reflected in the color tones of the picture. Shooting Tips Use the center AF point to focus. Aim the center AF point in the viewfinder on the subject, then shoot. Prevent camera shake if the numeric display (shutter speed) in the viewfinder blinks. Under low light, the viewfinder’s shutter speed display will blink. Hold the camera steady or use a tripod.
8: 6 Shooting Night Portraits (With a Tripod) When you want to photograph people at night and obtain a naturallooking night scene in the background, use the <6> (Night Portrait) mode. Note that an external Speedlite is required for shooting. Using a tripod is recommended. Shooting Tips Use a wide-angle lens and a tripod. When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to obtain a wide night view. Also, since camera shake is prone to occur with handheld shooting, use a tripod. Check the subject’s brightness.
8: F Shooting Night Scenes (Handheld) Using a tripod when shooting a night scene gives the best results. However, the (Handheld Night Scene) mode enables you to shoot night scenes even while handholding the camera. In this shooting mode, four shots are taken consecutively for each picture, and the resulting one image with reduced camera shake is recorded. Shooting Tips Hold the camera firmly. During shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily.
8: G Shooting Backlit Scenes When shooting a scene having both the bright and dark areas, use the (HDR Backlight Control) mode. When you take one picture in this mode, three consecutive shots are taken at different exposures. This results in one image, with a wide tonal range, that has minimized the clipped shadows caused by backlighting. * HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. Shooting Tips Hold the camera firmly. During shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily.
Cautions for the <8> Modes • Group Photo Since distortion correction is applied, the camera records an image area narrower than the one seen through the viewfinder. (The image periphery is slightly trimmed and the resolution looks slightly lowered.) Also, during Live View shooting, the angle of view changes slightly. Depending on the shooting conditions, focus may not be attained for everyone from the front to the back of the image.
• Panning (continued) If the lens does not support the mode, subject blur will not be corrected. However, the automatic shutter speed adjustment alone will take effect according to the setting of [Effect]. When shooting under bright light such as a sunny summer day or when shooting a slow subject, the set degree of panning effect may not be obtained.
• <6> Night Portrait Tell the subject to keep still even after the flash fires. During Live View shooting, achieving focus may be difficult when the face of the subject looks dark. In such a case, set the lens’s focus mode switch to and focus manually. When you shoot a night scene with Live View shooting, achieving focus with AF may be difficult if point sources of light are found in the AF point. In such a case, set the lens’s focus mode switch to and focus manually.
• Handheld Night Scene (continued) If you shoot a moving subject, the subject’s movement may leave afterimages, or the surrounding area of the subject may become dark. The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice, stripes, etc.), flat or single-tone images, or images significantly misaligned due to camera shake. It takes some time to record images to the card since they are merged after shooting.

With the camera in the default settings and the metering mode set to the evaluative metering (p.243), the exposure setting is set at the same time the focus is achieved.
f: Selecting the AF OperationN AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects This AF operation is suited for moving subjects when the focusing distance keeps changing. While you hold down the shutter button halfway, the camera will keep focusing on the subject continuously. The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken. When the AF area selection mode (p.139) is set to Automatic selection AF, focus tracking will continue as long as the Area AF frame covers the subject.
f: Selecting the AF OperationN AF Points Lighting Up in Red By default, the AF points light up in red when focus is achieved in lowlight conditions or on a dark subject. In Creative Zone modes, you can set whether to have the AF points light up in red when focus is achieved (p.488).
S Selecting the AF Area and AF Point The camera has 45 AF points for autofocusing. You can select the AF area selection mode and AF point(s) suiting the scene or subject. Depending on the lens used, the number of usable AF points, AF point patterns, Area AF frame shape, etc. vary. For details, see “Lenses and Usable AF Points” on page 145. AF Area Selection Mode You can select one of five AF area selection modes. For the selection procedure, see page 136.
S Selecting the AF Area and AF Point G Large Zone AF (Manual selection of zone) The AF area is divided into three focusing zones (left, center, and right) for focusing. H Automatic selection AF The Area AF frame (entire AF area) is used to focus.

S Selecting the AF Area and AF Point AF Point Display Indications Pressing the or button lights up the AF points that are cross-type AF points for high-precision autofocusing. The blinking AF points are horizontal-line or vertical-line sensitive. For details, see pages 143-148.
AF Area Selection Mode Single-point Spot AF (Manual selection) For pinpoint focusing over a narrower area than with Single-point AF. Select one AF point to focus. Effective for pinpoint focusing or focusing on overlapping subjects such as an animal in a cage. Since Single-point Spot AF covers a very small area, focusing may be difficult during handheld or low-light shooting or for a moving subject. Single-point AF (Manual selection) Select one AF point to be used for focusing.
AF Area Selection Mode 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 and all the AF points in the selected zone are used for Automatic selection AF, it is superior to Single-point AF in tracking the subject, and it is effective for moving subjects. However, since it is inclined to focus on the nearest subject, focusing on a specific target may be more difficult.
AF Area Selection Mode When AI Servo AF mode is set for Zone AF, Large Zone AF, or Automatic selection AF, 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. With Single-point Spot AF, focusing with an EOS-dedicated, external Speedlite’s AF-assist beam may be difficult.
AF Area Selection Mode AF Using Color Tracking With the camera in its default state, if the AF area selection mode is set to Zone AF (Manual selection of zone), Large Zone AF (Manual selection of zone), or Auto selection AF, color tracking AF detecting colors comparable to human skin tones will be performed (except in <8: 3r4Py6F> modes). For details, see [8C.Fn II-12: Auto AF pt sel.:Color Tracking] on page 485.
AF Sensor The camera’s AF sensor has 45 AF points. The illustration below shows the AF sensor pattern corresponding to each AF point. When using lenses with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 or faster, high-precision AF is possible at the viewfinder center. Depending on the lens used, the number of usable AF points, AF point patterns, Area AF frame shape, etc. vary. For details, see “Lenses and Usable AF Points” on page 145. Diagram Cross-type focusing: f/5.6 vertical + f/5.
AF Sensor This focusing sensor is geared to obtain higher precision focusing for lenses with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 or faster. A diagonal cross pattern makes it easier to focus on the subjects that may be difficult to focus. It is provided at the center AF point. These focusing sensors are geared for lenses with a maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster (and some supporting f/8). Since they have a horizontal pattern, they can detect vertical lines. They cover all 45 AF points.
Lenses and Usable AF Points Although the camera has 45 AF points, the number of usable AF points, focusing patterns, Area AF frame shape, etc. vary depending on the lens. The lenses are thereby classified into eight groups from A to H. Using a lens in Groups E to H will have fewer usable AF points. Lens groups are listed on pages 149-152.

B: Setting the White BalanceN White balance (WB) is for making the white areas look white. Normally, the Auto [Q] (Ambience priority) or [Qw] (White priority) setting will obtain the correct white balance. If natural-looking colors cannot be obtained with Auto, you can select the white balance to match the light source or set it manually by shooting a white object. In Basic Zone modes, [Q] (Ambience priority) is set automatically. (In the
mode, [Qw] (White priority) is set.) 1 Select [White balance].
B: Setting the White BalanceN White Balance To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of the type of lighting. With a digital camera, the white for color correction basis is decided depending on the color temperature of the illumination, and then the color is adjusted with software to make the white areas look white. With this function, you can take the pictures with natural color tones.
B: Setting the White BalanceN Q Auto White Balance With [Q] (Ambience priority), you can increase the intensity of the image’s warm color cast when shooting a tungsten-light scene. If you select [Qw] (White priority), you can reduce the intensity of the image’s warm color cast.

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, particularly for those users who understand the use of color temperature conversion and color compensating filters and their effects. White Balance Correction 1 Select [WB Shift/Bkt.].
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 and magenta/green bias. This function 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 white balance bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will be lower. 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. During Live View shooting with WB bracketing set, the white balance icon will blink.
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. In Basic Zone modes, [Standard] is set automatically. 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. When shooting at low ISO speeds, the noise in the darker parts of the image (shadow areas) can further be 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 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 become smaller. 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. Auto 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 For images exposed for 1 sec. or longer, noise (dots of light and banding) typical of long exposures can be reduced. 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>. Auto For exposures of 1 sec. or longer, noise reduction is performed automatically if noise typical of long exposures is detected.
3 Setting Noise ReductionN With [Auto] or [Enable] set, the noise reduction process after the picture is taken may take the same amount of time as that for the exposure. However, even when noise reduction process is in progress, you can continue to take pictures as long as the maximum burst indicator in the viewfinder shows “1” or higher. Images taken at high ISO speeds may look grainier with the [Enable] setting than with the [Disable] or [Auto] setting.
3 Highlight Tone PriorityN You can reduce overexposed, clipped highlights. 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. picture. 3 TakeThetheimage will be recorded with highlight tone priority applied.
3 Correction of Lens Aberrations due to Optical CharacteristicsN Peripheral light fall-off is a phenomenon that makes the image corners look darker due to the optical characteristics of the lens. Color fringing along subject outlines is called chromatic aberration. Image distortion due to optical characteristics of the lens is called distortion. And decreased image sharpness due to the aperture is called diffraction phenomenon. These lens aberrations can be corrected.
3 Correction of Lens Aberrations due to Optical CharacteristicsN [Enable]. 3 Select Check that [Correction data available] is displayed for the attached lens. Select [Enable], then press <0>. picture. 4 TakeThetheimage will be recorded with the peripheral illumination corrected. Depending on shooting conditions, noise may appear on the image periphery. The higher the ISO speed, the lower the correction amount will be.
3 Correction of Lens Aberrations due to Optical CharacteristicsN Distortion Correction 1 Select [Distortion correction]. [Enable]. 2 Select Check that [Correction data available] is displayed for the attached lens. Select [Enable], then press <0>. picture. 3 TakeThetheimage will be recorded with the distortion corrected. Since distortion correction is applied, the camera records an image range narrower than the one seen through the viewfinder.
3 Correction of Lens Aberrations due to Optical CharacteristicsN Diffraction Correction 1 Select [Diffraction correction]. [Enable]. 2 Select Select [Enable], then press <0>. picture. 3 TakeThetheimage will be recorded with the diffraction corrected. Depending on shooting conditions, noise may be intensified together with the effects of correction. The higher the ISO speed, the lower the correction amount will be. For movie shooting, [Diffraction correction] will not appear. (Correction is not possible.
3 Correction of Lens Aberrations due to Optical CharacteristicsN Lens Correction Data The lens correction data for lens aberration corrections is registered (stored) in the camera. With [Enable] selected, the peripheral illumination correction, chromatic aberration correction, distortion correction, and diffraction correction will be applied automatically. With EOS Utility (EOS software, p.594), you can check which lenses have their correction data registered in the camera.
3 Correction of Lens Aberrations due to Optical CharacteristicsN General Cautions for Lens Aberration Correction Peripheral illumination correction, chromatic aberration correction, distortion correction, and diffraction 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.
3 Reducing FlickerN The color tone of the captured images when [z4: Anti-flicker shoot.] is set to [Enable] may look different from when [Disable] is set. Flicker at a frequency other than 100 Hz or 120 Hz cannot be detected. Also, if the flickering frequency of the light source changes during continuous shooting, effects of the flicker cannot be reduced. If the subject is against a dark background or if there is a bright light in the image, flicker may not be properly detected.
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. In Basic Zone modes, [sRGB] is set automatically. 1 Select [Color space]. Under the [z2] tab, select [Color space], then press <0>. the desired color space. 2 SetSelect [sRGB] or [Adobe RGB], then press <0>.

5 GPS Settings This chapter describes the camera’s built-in GPS settings. The EOS 6D Mark II can receive satellite navigation signals from GPS satellites (USA), GLONASS satellites (Russia), and Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) “Michibiki” (Japan). The GPS function is set to [Disable] by default. This manual uses the term “GPS” to refer to the satellite navigation function. When [GPS] is set to [Mode 1] (p.
GPS Features Geotagging Images Geotag information*1 (latitude, longitude, elevation) and coordinated universal time*2 can be appended to images. Shooting locations of geotagged images can be displayed on a map on a computer. *1: Certain traveling conditions or GPS settings may cause inaccurate geotag information to be added to images. *2: Coordinated Universal Time, abbreviated as UTC, is essentially the same as Greenwich Mean Time.
GPS Features Viewing Images and Information on a Virtual Map With Map Utility (EOS software, p.595), you can view the shooting locations and the route traveled on a map displayed on a computer.
GPS Precautions Countries and Regions Permitting GPS Function Use Use of GPS function is restricted in some countries and regions, and illegal use may be punishable under national or local regulations. To avoid violating GPS function regulations, visit the Canon Web site to check where the use is allowed. Note that Canon cannot be held liable for any problems arising from GPS function use in other countries and regions.
Acquiring GPS Signals To acquire GPS signals, take the camera outside where the sky is unobstructed. Face the top of the camera toward the sky while keeping your hands, etc. away from the camera top. When the signal acquisition conditions are good, it will take the camera approx. 30 sec. to 60 sec. to acquire the GPS satellite signals after you set [GPS] to [Mode 1] or [Mode 2]. Check that [r] is displayed on the LCD panel, then shoot. 1 Select [GPS settings].
Acquiring GPS Signals GPS Acquisition Status The GPS acquisition status is indicated by the [r] icon displayed on the camera’s LCD panel. Constant r: Signal acquired Blinking r: Signal not acquired yet When you shoot while [r] is constantly displayed, the image will be geotagged. When [Mode 1] is set, the camera will continue to receive GPS signals at regular intervals even when the power switch is set to <2>. This will exhaust the battery sooner and fewer shots can be taken.
Acquiring GPS Signals Poor GPS Coverage Under the following conditions, the GPS satellite signal will not be properly acquired. As a result, the geotag information may not be recorded or inaccurate geotag information may be recorded. Indoors, underground, in tunnels or forests, between buildings, or in valleys. Near high-voltage power lines or mobile phones operating on the 1.5 GHz band. When the camera is left inside a bag, etc. When traveling a long distance.

Check that [GPS] is set to [Mode 1] or [Mode 2]. 2 Select [GPS Logger]. [Log GPS position] to 3 Set [Enable].
Logging the Route Traveled Geotag Information Logs Geotag information for the route the camera travels is recorded at the intervals set with [Position update intvl] (p.226). The log data is saved in the camera’s internal memory by date. The table below shows how many days’ worth of data can be saved. Log Data Capacity by Positioning Interval (Approx.) Update Interval Log Data Update Interval Log Data Every 1 sec. 4.1 days Every 30 sec. 100 days Every 5 sec. 20 days Every 1 min.
Logging the Route Traveled Downloading Log Data to a Computer The log data in the camera’s internal memory can be downloaded to a computer with EOS Utility (EOS software, p.594) or downloaded from a card after transferring the data to the card. When you use Map Utility (EOS software, p.595) to open a log file saved on the computer, the camera’s travel route will be displayed on a map.
Logging the Route Traveled The GPS antenna is located at the top of the camera body. For this reason, even when carrying the camera, such as in a bag, try to keep the top of the camera facing upwards, and do not place anything on top of it. Set the camera time and date as accurately as possible. Also, set correct time zone and daylight saving time for the shooting location.
6 Advanced Operations for Photographic Effects In Creative Zone modes, you can change various settings of the camera as you desire to obtain a wide variety of shooting results, by selecting the shutter speed and/or aperture, adjusting the exposure as you prefer, etc. The M icon at the upper right of the page title indicates that the function is available only in Creative Zone modes (, , , , ).
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 lowest f/number blink, it indicates underexposure. Increase the ISO speed or use flash. If the “4000” shutter speed and the highest 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 Frozen motion (Fast shutter speed: 1/2000 sec.
s: Shutter-Priority AE If the lowest 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 highest 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 “4000” 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 matching 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 “4000” shutter speed blinks, it indicates overexposure. Turn the <6> dial to set a smaller aperture (higher f/ number) until the shutter speed blinking stops or set a lower ISO speed. Aperture Value Display The higher the f/number, the smaller the aperture opening will be.
f: Aperture-Priority AE Depth-of-Field PreviewN The aperture opening (diaphragm) changes only at the moment when the picture is taken. Otherwise, the aperture remains fully open. Therefore, when you look at the scene through the viewfinder or on the LCD monitor, the depth of field will look narrow (shallow). Press the depth-of-field preview button to stop down the lens to the current aperture setting and check the depth of field (range of acceptable focus).
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. Shutter speed Aperture Standard exposure index Exposure level mark 1 Set the Mode Dial to . 2 Set the ISO speed (p.170). the shutter speed and 3 Set aperture. To set the shutter speed, turn the <6> dial.
a: Manual Exposure Exposure Compensation with ISO Auto If the ISO speed is set to A (AUTO) for manual exposure shooting, you can set exposure compensation (p.245) as follows: [z2: Expo.comp./AEB] Under [8C.Fn III-4: Custom Controls], with [ : Expo comp (hold btn, turn )] (p.502). Quick Control (p.61) If ISO Auto is set, the ISO speed setting will change to obtain the standard exposure with the set shutter speed and aperture. Therefore, you may not obtain the desired exposure effect.
q Selecting the Metering ModeN You can select one of four methods to measure the subject brightness. In Basic Zone modes, evaluative metering is set automatically. (In the <8: y> mode, center-weighted average metering is set automatically.) 1 Press the button (9). the metering mode. 2 Select While looking at the LCD panel or the viewfinder, turn the <6> or <5> dial.
q Selecting the Metering ModeN r Spot metering Effective when metering a specific part of the subject or scene. Spot metering covers approx. 3.2% of the viewfinder area at the center. The spot metering circle will be displayed in the viewfinder. e Center-weighted average metering The metering is averaged for the entire scene with the viewfinder center weighted more heavily. By default, the camera will set the exposure as follows.
O Setting the Desired Exposure CompensationN Exposure compensation can brighten (increased exposure) or darken (decreased exposure) the standard exposure set by the camera. Exposure compensation can be set in the , , and shooting modes. Although you can set the exposure compensation up to ±5 stops in 1/3-stop increments for viewfinder shooting, the exposure compensation indicator in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel can display the setting only up to ±3 stops.
O Setting the Desired Exposure CompensationN For Live View and movie shooting, the exposure compensation can be set only up to ±3 stops. If [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.194) is set to any setting other than [Disable], the image may still look bright even if a decreased exposure compensation for a darker image is set. The set exposure compensation amount will not be applied to movie shooting. The exposure compensation amount will remain in effect even after you set the power switch to <2>.
h Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB)N By changing the shutter speed, aperture, or ISO speed automatically, you can bracket the exposure up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments for three consecutive shots. This is called AEB. * AEB stands for Auto Exposure Bracketing. 1 Select [Expo.comp./AEB]. Under the [z2] tab, select [Expo.comp./AEB], then press <0>. the AEB range. 2 SetTurn the <6> dial to set the AEB AEB range range. By pressing the keys, you can set the exposure compensation amount.

w: HDR (High Dynamic Range) ShootingN You can shoot still photos with clipped highlights and shadows reduced for a high dynamic range of tones even in high-contrast scenes. HDR shooting is effective for landscape and still-life shots. With HDR shooting, three images of different exposures (standard exposure, underexposure, and overexposure) are captured consecutively for each shot and then merged together automatically. The HDR image is recorded as a JPEG image. * HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.
w: HDR (High Dynamic Range) ShootingN Effects P: Natural For images preserving a wide tonal range where the highlight and shadow details would otherwise be lost. Clipped highlights and shadows will be reduced.

Troubleshooting Guide If a problem occurs with the camera, first consult 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 does not recharge. If the battery’s remaining capacity (p.516) is 94% or higher, the battery will not be recharged. Do not use any battery other than genuine Canon 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 complete, the power will turn off automatically. [Does this battery/do these batteries display the Canon logo?] is displayed. Do not use any battery other than genuine Canon Battery Pack LP-E6N/LP-E6. Remove and install the battery again (p.
Troubleshooting Guide The camera turns off by itself. Auto power off is in effect. If you do not want auto power off to take effect, set [52: Auto power off] to [Disable] (p.73). Even if [52: Auto power off] is set to [Disable], the LCD monitor will still turn off after the camera is left idle for approx. 30 min. (The camera’s power does not turn off.) Shooting-Related Problems The lens cannot be attached. The camera cannot be used with EF-S or EF-M lenses (p.53). The viewfinder is dark.
Troubleshooting Guide The card cannot be used. If a card error message is displayed, see page 45 or 567. An error message is displayed when the card is inserted in another camera. Since SDXC cards are formatted in exFAT, if you format a card with this camera and then insert it into another camera, an error may be displayed and it may not be possible to use the card. I have to press the shutter button twice to take a picture. Set [z4: Mirror lockup] to [Disable]. The image is out of focus or blurred.
Troubleshooting Guide There are fewer AF points or the Area AF frame shape is different. Depending on the attached lens, the number of usable AF points and patterns and Area AF frame shape vary. The lenses are categorized into 8 groups from A to H (p.145). Check which group your lens belongs to. Using a lens in Groups E to H will have fewer usable AF points (p.147-148). The AF point is blinking or two AF points are displayed.
Troubleshooting Guide The continuous shooting speed is slow. The continuous shooting speed for high-speed continuous shooting may decrease depending on the temperature, battery level, flicker reduction, shutter speed, aperture, subject conditions, brightness, AF operation, lens, Live View shooting, flash use, shooting function settings, etc. For details, see page 156 or 158. The maximum burst during continuous shooting is lower.
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 40000 (for still photo shooting). Even if you set [ISO speed range] to expand the setting range, you cannot select L (equivalent to ISO 50), H1 (equivalent to ISO 51200), or H2 (equivalent to ISO 102400). When [z3: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Disable] (p.199), you can set ISO 100/125/160, L, or H1/H2.
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 automatically becomes slow (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 [1/180-1/60sec. auto] or [1/180 sec. (fixed)] (p.282). The flash does not fire.
Troubleshooting Guide Remote control shooting is not possible. When taking still photos, set the drive mode to or (p.157). When shooting movies, set [z5: Remote control] to [Enable] (p.381). Check the position of the remote controller’s release timing switch. If you are using Wireless Remote Control BR-E1, see page 273.
Troubleshooting Guide Shot images are not displayed when continuous shooting is performed during Live View shooting. If the image-recording quality is set to 41 or 61, the shot images are not displayed during continuous shooting (p.291). During movie shooting, the red E icon is displayed. It indicates that the camera’s internal temperature is high. If the red icon is displayed, it indicates that the movie shooting will soon stop automatically (p.382). Movie shooting stops by itself.
Troubleshooting Guide The manually set ISO speed changes when switching to movie shooting. For viewfinder shooting and Live View shooting, the ISO speed will be set according to [ISO speed range] under [z2: zISO speed settings] (p.173). For movie shooting, the ISO speed will be set according to [ISO speed range] under [z2: kISO speed settings] (p.372). The exposure changes during movie shooting. If you change the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting, the changes in the exposure may be recorded.
Troubleshooting Guide The subject looks distorted during movie shooting. If you move the camera to the left or right (panning) or shoot a moving subject, the image may look distorted. The problem may be more noticeable in time-lapse movie shooting. I cannot take still photos during movie shooting. Still photos cannot be taken during movie shooting. To take still photos, stop the movie shooting and perform viewfinder shooting or Live View shooting. Wi-Fi Wi-Fi function cannot be set.
Troubleshooting Guide Operation Problems I cannot change the setting with the <6>, <5>, <9>, or . Set the switch downward (lock release) (p.59). Check the [54: Multi function lock] setting (p.88). Touch operation is not possible. Make sure [54: Touch control] is set to [Standard] or [Sensitive] (p.69). A camera button or dial does not work as expected. For movie shooting, check the [z4: V btn function] setting (p.378). Check the [8C.Fn III-4: Custom Controls] setting (p.497).
Troubleshooting Guide The file name’s first character is an underscore (“_”). Set [z2: Color space] to [sRGB]. If [Adobe RGB] is set, the first character will be an underscore (p.208). The file name starts with “MVI_”. It is a movie file (p.211). The file numbering does not start from 0001. If the card already contains recorded images, the image number may not start from 0001 (p.211). The shooting date and time displayed are incorrect. Make sure the correct date and time are set (p.49).
Troubleshooting Guide [###] is displayed. If the number of images recorded on the card exceeds the number the camera can display, [###] will be displayed. In the viewfinder, the AF point display speed is slow. In low temperatures, the display speed of the AF points may become slower due to the AF point display device’s (liquid crystal) characteristics. The display speed will return to normal at room temperature. The LCD monitor does not display a clear image.
Troubleshooting Guide Playback Problems Part of the image blinks in black. [33: Highlight alert] is set to [Enable] (p.397). A red box is displayed on the image. [33: AF point disp.] is set to [Enable] (p.397). During image playback, the AF points are not displayed. The AF points are not displayed when the following types of images are played back: • Images taken in the <8: qFG> modes. • Images taken with distortion correction applied. • Images taken with Multi Shot Noise Reduction applied.
Troubleshooting Guide Operation sound and mechanical sound can be heard during movie playback. If you operate the camera’s dials or lens during movie shooting, the operation sound will also be recorded. Using the Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold separately) is recommended (p.347). The movie appears to freeze momentarily. If there is a drastic change in the exposure level during autoexposure movie shooting, the recording will stop momentarily until the brightness stabilizes.
Troubleshooting Guide My card reader does not recognize the card. Depending on the card reader used and the computer’s operating system, SDXC cards may not be correctly recognized. In such a case, connect your camera to the computer with the interface cable (sold separately), then transfer the images to the computer using EOS Utility (EOS software, p.594). I cannot process the RAW image. 41 and 61 images cannot be processed with the camera. Use Digital Photo Professional (EOS software, p.
Troubleshooting Guide Sensor Cleaning Problems The shutter makes a sound during sensor cleaning. Under [54: Sensor cleaning], when you select [Clean nowf], the shutter will make a mechanical sound during the cleaning, but no picture will be recorded to the card (p.450). Automatic sensor cleaning does not work. If you repeatedly turn the power switch <1> and <2> within a short time period, the icon may not be displayed (p.47). Computer Connection Problems I cannot transfer images to a computer.
Error Codes Error number If there is a problem with the camera, an error message will appear. Follow the onscreen instructions. Cause and countermeasures Number 01 02 Error Message and Solution Communications between the camera and lens is faulty. Clean the lens contacts. Î Clean the electrical contacts on the camera and lens, use a genuine Canon lens, or remove and install the battery again (p.27, 28, 42). Card cannot be accessed. Reinsert/change card or format card with the camera.
