When shooting, note the following: Shooting Result If you take the picture in magnified view, the exposure may not come out as desired. Return to the normal view before taking the picture. (During the magnified view, the shutter speed and aperture turn red.) Even if you take the picture in magnified view, the image will be captured in the normal view.
Advanced Shooting This chapter builds on Chapter 3 and introduces more ways to shoot creatively. The first half of this chapter explains how to use the <s>, <f>, and <a> modes. All the functions explained in Chapter 3 can also be used in the <s>, <f>, and <a>...
s: Convey the Subject’s Movement You can either freeze the action or create motion blur with the <s> (Shutter-priority AE) mode. * <s> stands for Time value. Blurred motion Frozen action (Slow shutter speed: 1/30 sec.) (Fast shutter speed: 1/2000 sec.) Set the Mode Dial to <w>.
Page 137
s: Convey the Subject’s Movement Set the desired shutter speed. Turning the <5> dial to the right sets a faster shutter speed, and turning it to the left sets a slower one. Shutter speed See “Shooting Tips” on the next page for advice on setting the shutter speed.
Page 138
s: Convey the Subject’s Movement Shooting Tips To freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject Use a fast shutter speed such as 1/4000 sec. to 1/500 sec. To blur a running child or animal and convey an impression of motion Use a medium shutter speed such as 1/250 sec.
f: Changing the Depth of Field To blur the background or to make everything near and far look sharp, use <f> (Aperture-priority AE) to adjust the depth of field (range of acceptable focus). * <f> stands for Aperture value, which is the size of the diaphragm hole inside the lens.
Page 140
f: Changing the Depth of Field Set the desired aperture. Turning the <5> dial to the right will set a higher f/number, and turning it to the left will set a lower f/number. Aperture (f/number) The higher the f/number, the wider the depth of field where sharper focus is obtained in both the foreground and background.
Page 141
f: Changing the Depth of Field Shooting Tips When using an aperture with a high f/number or shooting in low light scenes, note that camera shake can occur. A higher aperture f/number will make the shutter speed slower. Under low light, the shutter speed can be as long as 30 sec.
Page 142
f: Changing the Depth of Field Depth-of-Field Previeww 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 on the LCD monitor, the depth of field will look narrow. You can check the depth of field with the procedure below.
a: Manual Exposure You can set both the shutter speed and aperture manually as desired. This method is called manual exposure. * <a> stands for Manual. Set the Mode Dial to <w>. Tap the shooting mode icon on the screen’s upper left corner. ...
Page 144
a: Manual Exposure Check the exposure. Standard exposure index When you press the shutter button halfway, the exposure level mark [N] will show how far the current exposure level Exposure level mark is from the standard exposure level. Set the exposure and take the picture.
a: Manual Exposure BULB: Bulb Exposures A bulb exposure keeps the shutter open for as long as you hold down the shutter button. It can be used to shoot fireworks and other subjects requiring long exposures. In the manual shooting mode, turn the <5>...
q Changing the Metering Modet Four methods (metering modes) to measure the subject’s brightness are provided. Normally, evaluative metering is recommended. With <A> and in Basic Zone modes, evaluative metering is set automatically. Display the Quick Control screen. Press the <Q> button to display it. Tap the metering mode.
Page 147
q Changing the Metering Modet q Evaluative metering This is a general-purpose metering mode suited even for backlit subjects. The camera sets the exposure automatically to suit the scene. w Partial metering Effective when the background is much brighter than the subject due to backlighting, etc. The gray area in the left figure is where the brightness is metered to obtain the standard exposure.
Setting Exposure Compensationt O Setting Exposure Compensation Set exposure compensation if the exposure (without flash) does not come out as desired. This feature can be used in the <d>, <s>, and <f> shooting modes. You can set the exposure compensation up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments.
Setting Exposure Compensationt Cancel the exposure compensation. Exposure compensation will not be canceled even after turning off the power. In steps 1 and 2, set the exposure level mark [N] back to the center to cancel the exposure compensation. Dark exposure Increased exposure for a brighter image...
Auto Exposure Bracketingt This feature takes exposure compensation a step further by varying the exposure automatically (up to ±2 stops in 1/3-stop increments) with three shots as shown below. You can then choose the best exposure. This is called AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing). Standard exposure Darker exposure Brighter exposure...
Auto Exposure Bracketingt Take the picture. Press the shutter button completely. The three bracketed shots will be taken in this sequence: standard exposure, decreased exposure, and increased exposure. AEB can also be set with [A3: Expo.comp./AEB]. Canceling AEB Follow steps 1 to 3 to turn off the AEB level display.
A Locking the Exposure (AE Lock)t You can lock the exposure when the area of focus is to be different from the exposure metering area or when you want to take multiple shots at the same exposure setting. Press the <A> button to lock the exposure, then recompose and take the shot.
Auto Correction of Brightness and Contrastt 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.
Auto Correction of Brightness and Contrastt Under [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn) ], if [3: Highlight tone priority] is set to [1: Enable], the Auto Lighting Optimizer will be set automatically to [Disable] and the setting cannot be changed. Depending on the shooting conditions, noise may increase.
Setting Noise Reductiont 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.
3 Setting Noise Reductiont About 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.
3 Setting Noise Reductiont Long Exposure Noise Reduction You can reduce noise in long exposures. Select [Long exp. noise reduction]. Under the [A4] tab, select [Long exp. noise reduction], then press <0>. Set the desired setting. Select the desired setting, then press <0>.
3 Setting Noise Reductiont With [Auto] or [Enable], the noise reduction process after the picture is taken may take the same amount of time as the exposure. During the noise reduction process, “BUSY” will be displayed and you cannot take another picture.
Lens Peripheral Illumination / Chromatic Aberration Correction 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 another chromatic aberration. Both lens aberrations can be corrected. RAW images can be corrected with Digital Photo Professional (EOS software, p.350).
Page 160
3 Lens Peripheral Illumination / Chromatic Aberration Correction Chromatic Aberration Correction 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>. If [Correction data not available] is displayed, see “Lens Correction Data”...
Page 161
Peripheral illumination correction and chromatic aberration 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. If you use the magnified view during shooting, the peripheral illumination correction and chromatic aberration correction will not be reflected in the image shown on the screen.
A Adjusting the Picture Stylet You can customize a Picture Style by adjusting individual parameters such as [Sharpness] and [Contrast]. To see the resulting effects, take test shots. To customize [Monochrome], see page 165. Display the Quick Control screen. Press the <Q>...

B: Matching the Light Sourcet The function adjusting the color tone so that white objects look white in the picture is called white balance (WB). Normally, the <Q> (Auto) setting will obtain the correct white balance. If natural-looking colors cannot be obtained with <Q>, you can select the white balance that matches the light source or set it manually by shooting a sheet of white paper, etc.
B: Matching the Light Sourcet O Custom White Balance Custom white balance enables you to manually set the white balance for a specific light source for better accuracy. Perform this procedure under the actual light source to be used. Shoot a white object. ...
B: Matching the Light Sourcet Select [O]. Tap the white balance. Tap [O] (Custom) to select it, then tap [2]. If the exposure obtained in step 1 differs greatly from the standard exposure, a correct white balance may not be obtained. ...
u Adjusting the Color Tone for the Light Sourcet You can correct the white balance that has been 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.
3 u Adjusting the Color Tone for the Light Sourcet White Balance Auto Bracketing With just one shot, three images with different color balances 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.
Setting the Color Reproduction Ranget The range of reproducible colors is called the color space. With this camera, the color space for captured images can be set to sRGB or Adobe RGB. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended. With <A> and in Basic Zone modes, sRGB is set. Select [Color space].
