In the <1> (Full Auto) mode, AI Focus AF will be set automatically. 1 On the lens, set the focus mode switch to . the Mode Dial to any setting 2 Set except <1> (Full Auto). 3 Press the button.
f Selecting the AF ModeN One-Shot AF for Still Subjects Pressing the shutter button halfway activates the autofocus and achieves focus once. AF point Focus confirmation light X The AF point which achieves focus flashes briefly. At the same time, the focus confirmation light in the viewfinder is displayed. X With evaluative metering, the exposure setting (shutter speed and aperture) will be set when focus is achieved.
f Selecting the AF ModeN * About Predictive AF If the subject approaches or retreats from the camera at a constant rate, the camera tracks the subject and predicts the focusing distance immediately before the picture is taken. This is for obtaining correct focus at the moment of exposure. When the AF point selection is automatic, first the center AF point will focus the subject. Within the spot metering circle, there are six invisible Assist AF points ( in diagram) that function in the AI SERVO AF mode.
SSelecting the AF PointN The AF point is used for focusing. The AF point can be selected automatically by the camera or manually by you. In the <1> (Full Auto) mode, automatic selection will be set. Automatic AF point selection The camera selects the AF point automatically according to the shooting conditions. All the AF points in the viewfinder will light in red. Manual AF Point Selection You can select any of the nine AF points manually.
SSelecting the AF PointN Selecting with the Dial Press the button, then turn the <6> dial or <5> dial to select the AF point in the looping sequence shown on the left. When looking at the LCD panel to select the AF point, note the following: Automatic selection , center , right , top If focus cannot be achieved with an EOS-dedicated, external Speedlite’s AF-assist beam, select the center AF point.
Focusing an Off-Center Subject After achieving focus, you can lock the focus on a subject and recompose the shot. This is called “focus lock.” Focus lock works only in the One-Shot AF mode. the Mode Dial to any setting 1 Set except <1> (Full Auto). 2 Select the desired AF point. the subject. 3 Focus Move the AF point over the subject and press the shutter button halfway. pressing the shutter button 4 Keep halfway and recompose the picture as desired. 5 Take the picture.
When Autofocus Fails (Manual Focusing) Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (the focus confirmation light blinks) with certain subjects such as the following: Subjects difficult to focus (a) Low-contrast subjects Example: Blue sky, solid-color walls, etc. (b) Subjects in low light (c) Extremely backlit and reflective subjects Example: Car with a reflective body, etc. (d) Overlapping near and far objects Example: Animal in a cage, etc.

Advanced Operations In shooting modes other than <1> (Full Auto), you can freely set the shutter speed or aperture to obtain the desired result. The asterisk M appended on the right of the page title indicates that the respective feature cannot be changed in the <1> (Full Auto) mode. After you press the shutter button halfway and let go, the timer operation will keep the LCD panel and viewfinder information displayed for about 4 sec. (0). First set the <4> switch to .
d Program AE Like <1> (Full Auto) mode, this is a general-purpose shooting mode. The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture value to suit the subject’s brightness. This is called Program AE. * stands for Program * AE stands for Auto Exposure 1 AF point Set the Mode Dial to . the subject. 2 Focus Look through the viewfinder and aim any AF point over the subject. Then press the shutter button halfway. Shutter speed Aperture the display.
d Program AE If “30"” and the maximum aperture blink, it indicates underexposure. Increase the ISO speed or use flash. If “8000” and the minimum aperture blink, it indicates overexposure. Decrease the ISO speed or use an ND filter (optional) to reduce the amount of light entering the lens. Differences Between and <1> (Full Auto) In both modes, the automatically-set shutter speed and aperture combination are the same. In the mode, you can set or use the functions below, but not in the <1> mode.
s Shutter-Priority AE In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture value to suit the brightness of the subject. This is called Shutter-Priority AE. A fast shutter speed can freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject and a slow shutter speed can blur the subject to give the impression of motion. * stands for Time value. Fast shutter speed 1 Slow shutter speed Set the Mode Dial to . the desired shutter speed.
s Shutter-Priority AE If the maximum aperture blinks, it indicates underexposure. Turn the <6> dial to set a slower shutter speed until the aperture value stops blinking. If the minimum aperture blinks, it indicates overexposure. Turn the <6> dial to set a faster shutter speed until the aperture value stops blinking or lower the ISO speed. Shutter Speed Display The shutter speeds from “8000” to “4” indicate the denominator of the fractional shutter speed. For example, “125” indicates 1/125 sec.
f Aperture-Priority AE In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the subject brightness. This is called aperture-priority AE. A larger aperture opening (smaller f/number) will result in a blurred background ideal for portraits. This occurs because a lower f/number decreases the depth of field (range of acceptable focus).
f Aperture-Priority AE If the “30"” shutter speed blinks, it indicates underexposure. Turn the <6> dial to set a larger aperture (smaller f/number) until the 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 (larger f/number) until the blinking stops or set a lower ISO speed. Aperture Value Display The larger the f/number, the smaller the aperture opening will be.
a Manual Exposure In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture value as desired. To determine the exposure, refer to the exposure level indicator in the viewfinder or use a handheld exposure meter. This method is called manual exposure. * stands for Manual. 1 Set the Mode Dial to . the desired shutter speed. 2 SetWhile looking at the LCD panel, turn the <6> dial. aperture value. 3 SetSetthethedesired <4> switch to , and while looking at the LCD panel, turn the <5> dial.
