Handling Precautions
Camera care
This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical shock.
The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater.
To maximize the camera's dust- and drip- resistance, keep the terminal cover, battery
compartment cover, card slot cover, and all other covers firmly closed. Also attach the
shoe cover to the multi-function shoe.
This camera is designed to be dust- and drip- resistant, in order to help prevent sand,
dust, dirt, or water that falls on it unexpectedly from getting inside, but it is impossible to
prevent dirt, dust, water, or salt from getting inside at all. As far as possible, do not allow
dirt, dust, water, or salt to get on the camera.
If water gets on the camera, wipe it off with a dry and clean cloth. If dirt, dust, or salt gets
on the camera, wipe it off with a clean, well-wrung wet cloth.
Using the camera in dusty or dirty locations may lead to damage.
Cleaning the camera after use is recommended. Allowing dirt, dust, water, or salt to
remain on the camera may cause a malfunction.
If you accidentally drop the camera into water or are concerned that moisture (water),
dirt, dust, or salt may have gotten inside it, promptly consult the nearest Canon Service
Center.
Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field such as a magnet
or electric motor. Also, avoid using or leaving the camera near anything emitting strong
radio waves, such as a large antenna. Strong magnetic fields can cause camera
malfunction or destroy image data.
Do not leave the camera in excessive heat, such as in a car in direct sunlight. High
temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.
The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to disassemble the
camera yourself.
Do not block shutter curtain operation with your finger or other objects. Doing so may
cause a malfunction.
Only use a commercially available blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, or
other parts. Do not use cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean the camera body
or lens. For stubborn dirt, take the camera to the nearest Canon Service Center.
Do not touch the camera's electrical contacts with your fingers. This is to prevent the
contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause camera malfunction.
If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room, condensation may
form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent condensation, first put the camera in
a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to the warmer temperature before taking it out of
the bag.
If condensation forms on the camera, to avoid damage, do not use the camera or
remove the lens, card, or battery. Turn the camera off and wait until the moisture has
fully evaporated before resuming use. Even after the camera is completely dry, if it is still
internally cold, do not remove the lens, card, or battery until the camera has adjusted to
the ambient temperature.
If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery and store the
camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while the camera is in storage,
press the shutter button a few times once in a while to check that the camera is still
working.
32

Avoid storing the camera where there are chemicals that result in rust and corrosion
such as in a chemical lab.
If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions before
using it. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is an important shoot
such as a foreign trip coming up, have the camera checked by your nearest Canon
Service Center or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.
The camera may become hot after repeated continuous shooting or still photo/movie
shooting over an extended period. This is not a malfunction.
If there is a bright light source inside or outside the image area, ghosting may occur.
When shooting with backlighting, keep the sun sufficiently away from the angle of view.
Always keep intense light sources such as the sun, lasers, and other intense artificial
light sources out of the image area and not near it. Concentrated intense light may
cause smoke or damage the image sensor or other internal components.
Attach the lens cap to prevent direct sunlight and other light from entering the lens when
you are not shooting.
Screen and viewfinder
The following does not affect images captured by the camera.
Although the screen and viewfinder are manufactured with very high precision
technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, 0.01% or fewer of the pixels may be dead,
and there may also be spots of black, red, or other colors. This is not a malfunction.
They do not affect the images recorded.
If the screen is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur where you see
remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only temporary and will disappear
when the camera is left unused for a few days.
The screen display may seem slightly slow in low temperatures or may look black in
high temperatures. It will return to normal at room temperature.
Cards
To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:
Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force, physical shock,
or vibration.
Keep card contacts free of dust and foreign material. Do not touch card contacts with
your fingers or metal objects.
Do not affix any stickers, etc. on the card.
Do not store or use the card near anything that has a strong magnetic field, such as a
television, speakers, or magnets. Also avoid places prone to having static electricity.
Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
Store the card in a case.
Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
Cards may become hot after long sessions of repeated continuous shooting or still photo
shooting/movie recording. This is not a malfunction.
33

Lens
After detaching the lens from the camera, put down the lens with the rear end up and
attach the rear lens cap to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts
(1).
Smudges on the image sensor
Besides dust entering the camera from outside, in rare cases, lubricant from the camera's
internal parts may adhere to the front of the sensor. If smudges are visible on images, have
the sensor cleaned by a nearest Canon Service Center.
Battery
Tips for using the battery and charger
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location.
When storing the battery for extended periods, charge it about once a year. When
charging the battery, aim to charge it to approx. 50% instead of fully charging it ( ).
At room temperature (+23°C/73°F), it takes approx. 60 min. to charge a depleted battery
to approx. 50%. Battery charging time varies greatly depending on ambient temperature.
If the battery is not used for an extended period, the trace amount of current that
continues to flow inside the battery when it is removed from the camera may eventually
lead to over-discharge and prevent further use, even after charging.

117

FAQ
Focusing is not possible (indicated by an orange AF point).
Aim the AF point over an area with good contrast, then press the shutter button halfway
( ). If you are too close to the subject, move away and shoot again.
After focusing, multiple AF points are displayed simultaneously.
Focus has been achieved at all those points.
The shutter speed display is blinking.
Since it is too dark, taking the picture may result in a blurred subject due to camera
shake. Using a tripod or a Canon EL/EX series Speedlite (sold separately, ) is
recommended.
The bottom of pictures taken with flash is unnaturally dark.
If a hood is attached to the lens, it may obstruct light from the flash. If the subject is
close, detach the hood before taking the picture with flash.
Note
Note the following if you are not using flash.
• Under low light, when camera shake tends to occur, hold the camera steady or
use a tripod. When using a zoom lens, you can reduce the blur caused by
camera shake by setting the lens to the wide-angle end.
• When shooting portraits under low light, tell subjects to stay still until you have
finished shooting. Any movement as you shoot will make the person look blurry
in the picture.
Shooting Moving Subjects
Pressing the shutter button halfway tracks moving subjects to keep them in focus.
Keep the subject on the screen as you hold down the shutter button halfway, and at the
decisive moment, press the shutter button completely.

Focus and shoot.
Shooting is the same as described in steps 2–4 for A+: Fully Automatic
Shooting (Scene Intelligent Auto).
Note
You can also set the shooting mode in [ : Shooting mode].
123

Portrait
Use [ ] (Portrait) to blur the background and make the person you shoot stand out. It also
makes skin tones and hair look softer.
Shooting tips
Select the location where the distance between the subject and the background is
the farthest.
The further the distance between the subject and background, the more blurred the
background will look. The subject will also stand out better against an uncluttered dark
background.
Use a telephoto lens.
If you have a zoom lens, use the telephoto end to fill the frame with the subject from the
waist up.
Focus on the face.
As you focus before shooting, make sure the AF point on the subject's face is green.
When shooting close-ups of faces, you can set [ : Eye detection] to an option other
than [Disable] to shoot with the subject's eyes in focus.
Shoot continuously.
The default setting is [ ] (Low speed continuous). If you keep holding down the shutter
button, you can shoot continuously to capture changes in the subject's facial expression
and pose.
124

Smooth Skin
Use [ ] (Smooth skin) for shots that present skin more beautifully. Image processing
makes skin look smoother.
Shooting tips
Enable the camera to detect faces.
When the camera detects the main subject to which the smooth skin effect will be
applied, the frame is displayed on the subject's face. For more effective skin smoothing,
you can move closer to or farther from the subject so that the frame is displayed on the
subject's face.
Focus on the face.
As you focus before shooting, make sure the AF point on the subject's face is green.
When shooting close-ups of faces, you can set [ : Eye detection] to an option other
than [Disable] to shoot with the subject's eyes in focus.
Caution
Areas other than people's skin may be modified, depending on the shooting
conditions.
If the smooth skin effect is too strong, images may not look as expected. Take
some test shots in advance and check the results.
When [ Rec options] in [ : Record func+card/folder sel.] is set to [Rec.
separately], both slots save images with the same image quality as set for the card
selected in [ Play] in [ : Record func+card/folder sel.].
125

Group Photo
Use [ ] (Group Photo) to shoot groups. You can shoot with people from the front to the
back all in focus.
Shooting tips
Use a wide-angle lens.
With zoom lenses, zooming out near the wide-angle end makes it easier to focus on
everyone in front and back at once. You can also increase the depth of field by standing
a little farther away from subjects, so that they fit completely in the frame.
Take a few shots of the group.
It is a good idea to take a few shots, because people sometimes blink.
Note
Hold the camera steady or use a tripod when shooting indoors or under low light.
Caution
The angle of view changes slightly, due to distortion correction.
Not all people may be in focus, depending on shooting conditions.
126

Landscape
Use [ ] (Landscape) for expansive scenery, to keep everything in focus from near to far.
For vivid blues and greens, and sharp and crisp images.
Shooting tips
With a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end.
When using a zoom lens, set the lens to the wide-angle end to make the objects near
and far in focus. It also adds breadth to landscapes.
Keep the camera steady when shooting night scenes.
Using a tripod is recommended.
Caution
Flash photography is not available.
127

Panoramic Shot
Use [ ] (Panoramic shot) to shoot panoramas. The panorama is created by combining
shots captured in continuous shooting as you move the camera in one direction while

Caution
In some scenes, images you intended to capture may not be saved as expected,
and the panorama may not look as expected.
Shooting may stop midway if you move the camera too slowly or quickly. However,
the panorama created up to that point will still be saved.
In consideration of the large sizes of [ ] images, use a computer or other device
to resize any panoramas you will print from a memory card in a Canon printer.
If panoramas are not compatible with certain software or online services, try
resizing them.
Shots of the following subjects and scenes may not be combined correctly.
• Subjects in motion
• Subjects at close range
• Scenes where the contrast varies greatly
• Scenes with long stretches of the same color or pattern, such as the sea or sky
Shooting is not affected by any correction applied to counteract blur from swinging
the camera.
Move the camera slowly when using a lens with a long focal length, or when
shooting night scenes or under low light.
Lens image stabilization is not applied.
129

Sports
Use [ ] (Sports) to shoot subjects in motion, such as runners or moving vehicles.

The default setting is [ ] (High speed continuous). At the decisive moment, press the
shutter button completely to take the picture. To track the subject and capture changes
in facial expression and movement, keep holding down the shutter button to shoot
continuously.
Caution
Using an external flash unit will reduce the continuous shooting speed.
131

Panning
By panning, you can blur the background to convey a sense of speed.
Attach a lens compatible with [ ] (Panning) to reduce subject blurring.
Shooting tips
Turn the camera to follow the moving subject.
As you shoot, turn the camera smoothly while tracking the moving subject. With the AF
point over the part of the moving subject to focus on, press the shutter button halfway,
start turning the camera to keep up with the subject, then press the shutter button
completely to shoot. Continue tracking the subject with the camera after this.
Set the level of background motion blur.
You can set the level of background motion blur in [Effect] on the Quick Control screen.
Set to [Effect: max] for a slower shutter speed and more background motion blur
around subjects. If subject blur is excessive, reduce it by setting [Effect] to [Effect:
med] or [Effect: min].
Use the subject blur guide.
Set [Subject blur guide] to [On] to display a guide indicating the extent of subject blur
detected while you are pressing the shutter button halfway, or while you are shooting
continuously as you turn the camera.
The guide consists of gray lines and color-coded lines that vary from red to yellow to
green, in order of decreasing blurriness.
You can set the distance between the subject blur guide and the AF point in [Guide
position].
132

Note
The guide appears when a tracking frame is displayed while [ : Whole area
tracking Servo AF] is set to [On].
Only the gray lines are shown when the shutter button is not pressed.
133

Caution
For details on lenses compatible with [ ], visit the Canon website ( ).
Shutter speeds are slower. For this reason, Panning mode is not suitable unless
you pan as you shoot.
AF area options are limited to [1-point AF], [Flexible Zone AF 1], [Flexible Zone
AF 2], and [Flexible Zone AF 3].
The default setting is [ ]. Note that [ ] is not available.
Flash photography is not available.
Although lens IS is applied to images captured with lenses compatible with [ ],
the effect is not shown on the screen as you shoot. (IS and subject blur correction
are activated only at the moment of shooting, regardless of the lens IS setting.)
With lenses that are not compatible with [ ], subject blur is not reduced, but
shutter speed is automatically adjusted to match the [Effect] setting.
Your specified panning effect level may not be applied when shooting under bright
light (such as on sunny summer days), or when shooting slow subjects.
The following subjects or shooting conditions may prevent subject blur guide
display and suitable subject blur correction with lenses compatible with [
].
• Subjects with very low contrast.
• Subjects in low light.
• Strongly backlit or reflective subjects.
• Subjects with repetitive patterns.
• Subjects with few patterns, or with monotone patterns.
• Subjects with reflections (such as images reflected in glass).
• Subjects smaller than the Zone AF frame.
• Multiple subjects moving within a Zone AF frame.
• Subjects moving in irregular directions or at irregular speeds.
• Subjects that sometimes move erratically (such as runners who move up and
down as they run).
• Subjects with significant changes in speed (such as immediately after initial
movement, or when moving along a curve).
• When the camera moves too quickly or slowly.
• When camera movement does not match subject movement.
• With long lens focal lengths.
134

Close-up
Use [ ] (Close-up) for close-ups of small subjects such as flowers. 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. The lens minimum focusing distance
is measured from the < > (focal plane) mark on the top of the camera to the subject.
Focusing is not possible if you are too close.
With a zoom lens, use the telephoto end.
If you have a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the subject look larger.
135

Food
Use [ ] (Food) for culinary photography. The photo will look bright and appetizing. Also
reduces the reddish tinge from tungsten lights or similar light sources.
Shooting tips
Change the color tone.
Adjust color tone as needed in [Color tone: Cool←→Warm] on the Quick Control
screen. Set toward red (warm tones) to increase the reddish tinge of food, or set toward
blue (cool tones) to reduce an excessive red tinge.
Caution
The warm color cast of subjects may fade.
When multiple light sources are included in the scene, the warm color cast of the
picture may not be reduced.
In flash photography, [Color tone: Cool←→Warm
] switches to the standard
setting.
If there are people in the picture, the skin tone may not be reproduced properly.
136

Night Portrait
Use [ ] (Night Portrait) for bright, beautiful shots of people with night scenes in the
background. Note that shooting in this mode requires an external flash unit. 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. Because
camera shake occurs in handheld shooting, using a tripod is also recommended.
Check the image brightness.
It is recommended to play back the captured image on location to check the image
brightness. If the subject looks dark, move nearer and shoot again.
Also shoot in other shooting modes.
Because shots are more likely to be blurry, also consider shooting in < > mode or
with [ ].
Caution
Tell subjects to remain still for a moment after the flash fires.
Focusing may be difficult if subject faces look dark when you shoot. In this case,
set the focus mode to MF ( ) and focus manually.
Autofocusing at night or in dark scenes may be difficult when points of light lie
within the AF point. In this case, set the focus mode to MF ( ) and focus
manually.
Shots will look slightly different from the preview image shown on the screen.
Note
The self-timer lamp fires briefly after shots in this mode if the self-timer is used.
137

Handheld Night Scene
For handheld night shooting without a tripod or similar equipment.
Shooting tips
Hold the camera steady.
Keep your elbows close to your body to hold the camera steady ( ). In this mode, four
shots are aligned and merged into a single image, but if there is significant misalignment
in any of the four shots due to camera shake, they may not align properly in the final
image.
Caution
The image area is smaller than in other shooting modes.
RAW image quality cannot be set.
Flash photography is not available.
Autofocusing at night or in dark scenes may be difficult when points of light lie
within the AF point. In this case, set the focus mode to MF ( ) and focus
manually.
Shooting moving subjects may result in afterimages from the movement, or
darkness around the subject.
Images may not be aligned correctly if they are patterned (with a lattice or stripes,
for example), are generally flat and uniform, or are greatly out of alignment due to
camera shake or other issues.
It takes some time to record images to the card since they are merged after
shooting. [BUSY] appears on the screen as images are processed, and shooting is
not possible until processing is finished.
Shots will look slightly different from the preview image shown on the screen.
When [ Rec options] in [ : Record func+card/folder sel.] is set to [Rec.
separately], both slots save images with the same image quality as set for the card
selected in [ Play] in [ : Record func+card/folder sel.].
138

HDR Backlight Control
Use [ ] ( HDR Backlight Control) for backlit scenes with both bright and dark areas.
Shooting once in this mode captures three consecutive images at different exposures, which
are combined to create a single HDR image that retains detail in shadows that might
otherwise be lost from backlighting.
* HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.
Shooting tips
Hold the camera steady.
Keep your elbows close to your body to hold the camera steady ( ). In this mode, three
shots are aligned and merged into a single image. However, if there is significant
misalignment in any of the three shots due to camera shake, they may not align properly
in the final image.
139

Caution
Compared to other shooting modes, the image area will be smaller.
RAW image quality cannot be set.
Flash photography is not available.
Note that the image may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and may look
irregular or have significant noise.
HDR Backlight Control may not be effective for excessively backlit scenes or
extremely high-contrast scenes.
When shooting subjects that are sufficiently bright as they are, for example for
normally lit scenes, the image may look unnatural due to the HDR effect.
Shooting moving subjects may result in afterimages from the movement, or
darkness around the subject.
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. [BUSY] appears on the screen as images are processed, and shooting is
not possible until processing is finished.
When [ Rec options] in [ : Record func+card/folder sel.] is set to [Rec.
separately], both slots save images with the same image quality as set for the card
selected in [ Play] in [ : Record func+card/folder sel.].
140

Silent Shutter
Where silence is needed, you can shoot without beeps or shutter release sounds.
Shooting tips
Take some test shots.
Consider taking some test shots in advance, because lens aperture and focusing
adjustment may be audible under some shooting conditions.
Caution
Be responsible when using silent shooting, and respect subject privacy and portrait
rights.
Images of fast-moving subjects may look distorted.
Continuous shooting and flash photography are not available.

For details, see Movie Recording Format ( ).
Caution
If you change the [ : System frequency] setting, also set [ : Movie rec. size]
again.
Normal playback of files such as 4K or High Frame Rate movies may not be
possible on other devices, because playback is processing-intensive.
Apparent resolution and noise vary slightly depending on the movie recording size
setting and lens used.
Note
To obtain better performance with the card, formatting the card with the camera
before recording movies is recommended ( ).
Movies cannot be recorded in HD or VGA quality.

4K Movie Recording
Recording 4K movies requires a stable card with a fast writing speed. For details, see
Cards That Can Record Movies.
4K movie recording greatly increases the processing load, which may increase the
internal camera temperature faster or higher than for regular movies. If a white
[ ] or red [ ] icon appears during movie recording, the card may be
hot, so stop recording the movie and let the camera cool down before removing
the card. (Do not remove the card immediately.)
From a 4K movie, you can select any frame to save to the card as a JPEG still image
( ).

Dual Pixel RAW
Shooting or images with this feature enabled produces special Dual Pixel RAW
images containing dual pixel information from the image sensor. This is called Dual Pixel
RAW shooting.
When processing these images in Digital Photo Professional software for EOS cameras, you
can take advantage of the dual pixel data to fine-tune apparent resolution (using depth
information), shift the camera viewpoint slightly, and reduce ghosting.
Results will vary depending on shooting conditions, so before using this feature,
refer to the Digital Photo Professional instruction manual for details on Dual Pixel
RAW characteristics and image processing.

ISO speed guide
Low ISO speeds reduce image noise but may increase the risk of camera shake and
subject blur or reduce the area in focus (shallower depth of field), in some shooting
conditions.
High ISO speeds enable low-light shooting and a larger area in focus (deeper depth of
field) but may increase image noise.
Caution
Image noise (such as graininess, dots of light, or banding), irregular colors, or color
shift may be noticeable at high ISO speeds, in high temperatures, or with long
exposures.
Normal image recording may not be possible under conditions that cause
excessive noise, such as a combination of high ISO speed, high temperature, and
long exposure.
For precautions on high ISO speed, see General Movie Recording Precautions.

261

ISO speed guide
Low ISO speeds reduce image noise but may increase the risk of camera shake and
subject blur or reduce the area in focus (shallower depth of field), in some shooting
conditions.
High ISO speeds enable low-light shooting, a larger area in focus (deeper depth of field),
and longer flash range but may increase image noise.
Note
To expand the manual ISO speed setting range from L (equivalent to ISO 50) to H
(equivalent to ISO 102400), adjust [ISO speed range] in [ : ISO speed
settings] ( ).
Caution
Image noise (dots of light or banding) and irregular colors may increase and
apparent resolution may decrease at H (equivalent to ISO 102400), because this is
an expanded ISO speed.
Because L (equivalent to ISO 50) is an expanded ISO speed setting, the dynamic
range will be somewhat narrower compared to the standard setting.
When shooting with a high ISO speed, high temperature, long exposure, or multiple
exposure, image noise (graininess, dots of light, banding, etc.), irregular colors, or
color shift may become noticeable.
Normal image recording may not be possible under conditions that cause
excessive noise, such as a combination of high ISO speed, high temperature, and
long exposure.
If you use a high ISO speed and flash to shoot a close subject, overexposure may
result.

AEB is not available.
Subjects such as the sky or white walls may not be rendered with smooth gradation
and may have noise or irregular exposure or colors.
HDR shooting under fluorescent or LED lighting may cause issues such as
irregular exposure or colors in HDR images, due to the flickering light source. It
may help reduce the effects of flickering if you set [ : Anti-flicker shoot.] to
[Enable] or [ : HF anti-flicker shooting] to [Enable]. Note that [ : HF anti-
flicker shooting] is not available when [Dynamic range] is set.
Maximum shutter speed in HDR shooting with an electronic shutter is 1/8000 sec.
When [ Rec options] in [ : Record func+card/folder sel.] is set to [Rec.
separately], both slots save images with the same image quality as set for the card
selected in [ Play] in [ : Record func+card/folder sel.].
Precautions when set to [
Dynamic range
]
When shooting HDR images with [Auto Image Align] set to [Enable], AF point
display information ( ) and Dust Delete Data ( ) will not be appended to the
image.
If you perform handheld HDR shooting with [Auto Image Align] set to [Enable],
image periphery will be slightly trimmed and resolution will be slightly lowered.
Also, if the images cannot be aligned properly due to camera shake, etc., auto
image alignment may not take effect. Note that when shooting with excessively
bright (or dark) exposure settings, auto image alignment may not work properly.
If you perform handheld HDR shooting with [Auto Image Align] set to [Disable],
the three images may not be properly aligned and the HDR effect may be reduced.
Using a tripod is recommended.
As multiple images are captured, settings such as shutter speed and ISO speed
are automatically adjusted. For this reason, even in <
Fv>, <Tv>, or <M> mode, the
shutter speed and ISO speed will change, relative to your specified shutter speed.
To prevent camera shake, a high ISO speed may be set.
Auto image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice,
stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.
With HDR shooting, the images will be merged, then saved to the card, so it may
take some time. [BUSY] appears on the screen as images are processed, and
shooting is not possible until processing is finished.
Precautions when set to [Moving sub.
]
Subjects may look distorted in shots of fast-moving subjects captured with [ :
Shutter mode] set to [Electronic ].
326

Note
Electronic first-curtain and electronic shutter modes are available with HDR set to
[Moving sub.].
Setting HDR mode to [Dynamic range] produces RAW HDR images with the
following image quality.
• [ : HDR shooting (PQ)] set to [Disable]: JPEG quality
• [ : HDR shooting (PQ)] set to [HDR PQ]: HEIF quality
HDR image quality in RAW+JPEG or RAW+HEIF shooting corresponds to your
specified JPEG or HEIF image quality.
Exposure simulation is not performed, even with [ : Display simulation] set to
an option other than [Disable], when HDR is set to [Moving sub.] or [Dynamic
range].
327

Lens Aberration Correction
Peripheral Illumination Correction
Distortion Correction
Focus Breathing Correction
Digital Lens Optimizer
Chromatic Aberration Correction
Diffraction Correction
Vignetting, image distortion, and other issues may be caused by lens optical characteristics.
The camera can compensate for these phenomena by using [Lens aberration correction].
1.
Select [ : Lens aberration correction] ( , ).
2.
Select an option.
348

3.
Select a setting.
Confirm that the name of the attached lens and [Correction data
available] are displayed.
If [Correction data not available] or [ ] is displayed, see Digital Lens
Optimizer.
Peripheral Illumination Correction
Vignetting (dark image corners) can be corrected.
Caution
Depending on shooting conditions, noise may appear on the image periphery.
The higher the ISO speed, the lower the amount of correction will be.
Note
The amount of correction applied will be lower than the maximum correction
amount applied with Digital Photo Professional (EOS software).
349

Distortion Correction
Distortion (image warping) can be corrected.
Caution
Specifying distortion correction may subtly change the angle of view, resulting in
images that are cropped a little and seem slightly less sharp.
The amount of image cropped may vary between still photos and movies.
Note
With RF lenses, distortion correction during movie recording is supported.
350

Focus Breathing Correction
Angle of view fluctuations from changes in focal position during movie recording can be
reduced.
This feature can be configured when [Distortion correction] is set to [Enable].
Caution
[Focus breathing correction] is not displayed in still photo shooting.
Applying focus breathing correction will narrow the angle of view. The extent of
narrowing depends on shooting conditions.
Test focus breathing correction before use, because the image processing may
affect apparent image resolution and noise.
Optimal correction is applied based on the position of the focusing distance range
switch on the lens. (The correction is also applied in MF mode.) Correction is not
applied to any difference between the actual focusing distance and the range of the
switch.
Movies with abrupt changes to the angle of view may be recorded if you move the
focusing distance range switch during recording.
Correction artifacts may occur, depending on the lens and shooting conditions.
For details on lenses compatible with this feature, visit the Canon website ( ).
351

Digital Lens Optimizer
Various aberrations from lens optical characteristics can be corrected, along with diffraction
and low-pass filter-induced loss of resolution.
If [Correction data not available] or [ ] is displayed by [Digital Lens Optimizer], you can
use EOS Utility to add the lens correction data to the camera. For details, refer to the EOS
Utility Instruction Manual.
Caution
Image processing after you shoot takes longer when set to [High] (which causes
the access lamp to be illuminated longer).
Maximum burst is lower with [High]. Image recording to the card also takes longer.
Depending on shooting conditions, noise may be intensified together with the
effects of correction. Image edges may also be emphasized. Adjust Picture Style
sharpness or set [Digital Lens Optimizer] to [Disable] as needed before shooting.
The higher the ISO speed, the lower the amount of correction will be.
For movie recording, [Digital Lens Optimizer] will not appear. (Correction is not
possible.)
The effect of Digital Lens Optimizer cannot be checked on the screen at the time of
shooting.
Note
With [Digital Lens Optimizer] set to [Standard] or [High], [Chromatic aberr corr]
and [Diffraction correction] are not displayed, but they are both set to [Enable] for
shooting.
352

Chromatic Aberration Correction
Chromatic aberration (color fringing around subjects) can be corrected.
Note
[Chromatic aberr corr] is not displayed when [Digital Lens Optimizer] is set to
[Standard] or [High].
353

Diffraction Correction
Diffraction (loss of sharpness caused by the aperture) can be corrected.
Caution
Depending on shooting conditions, noise may be intensified together with the
effects of correction.
The higher the ISO speed, the lower the amount of correction will be.
For movie recording, [Diffraction correction] will not appear. (Correction is not
possible.)
The effect of diffraction correction cannot be checked on the screen at the time of
shooting.
Note
“Diffraction correction” corrects degraded resolution not only from diffraction but
also from the low-pass filter and other factors. Thus, correction is also effective for
exposures with the aperture wide open.
[Diffraction correction] is not displayed when [Digital Lens Optimizer] is set to
[Standard] or [High].
Caution
General precautions for lens aberration correction
Lens aberration correction cannot be applied to existing JPEG/HEIF images.
When using a non-Canon lens, setting the corrections to [Disable] is
recommended even if [Correction data available] is displayed.
Magnifying the periphery of the image may display parts of the image that will not
be recorded.
The amount of correction (except diffraction correction) is less for lenses that do
not provide distance information.
354

Note
General notes for lens aberration correction
Effects of lens aberration correction vary by lens and shooting conditions. Also, the
effect may be difficult to discern depending on the lens used, shooting conditions,
etc.
If the correction is difficult to discern, magnifying and checking the image after
shooting is recommended.
Corrections are applied even when an extender or life-size converter is attached.
If the correction data for the attached lens is not registered to the camera, the result
will be the same as when the correction is set to [Disable] (except for diffraction
correction).
If necessary, refer to the EOS Utility Instruction Manual as well.
355

Long Exposure Noise Reduction
Noise such as dots of light or banding that tends to occur in long exposures at shutter
speeds of one sec. or slower can be reduced.
1.
Select [ : Long exp. noise reduction] ( ).
2.
Set a reduction option.
Auto
For images exposed for 1 sec. or longer, noise reduction is performed
automatically if noise typical of long exposures is detected. This setting
is effective enough in most cases.
Enable
Noise reduction is performed for all images exposed for 1 sec. or
longer. The [Enable] setting may reduce noise that cannot be detected
with the [Auto] setting.
Caution
With [Auto] or [Enable] set, noise reduction after you shoot may take as long as
exposure for the shot.
Images may look grainier with the [Enable] setting than with the [Disable] or [Auto]
setting.
[BUSY] is displayed as noise is reduced, and the shooting screen is not displayed
until processing is finished, when you can shoot again.
356

High ISO Speed Noise Reduction
You can reduce the image noise generated. This function is especially effective when
shooting 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] ( , ).
2.
Set the level.
Low, Standard, High
The camera applies an amount of noise reduction corresponding to
your specified level.
357

Dust Delete Data Acquisition
Preparation
Dust Delete Data Appending
Dust Delete Data used to erase dust spots can be appended to images. The Dust Delete
Data is used by Digital Photo Professional (EOS software) to erase the dust spots
automatically.
Preparation
Use an RF or EF lens.
Prepare a solid white object such as a sheet of paper.
Set the lens focal length to 50 mm or longer.
Set the focus mode to MF ( ) and focus manually at infinity (∞). If the lens has no
distance scale, rotate the camera to face toward you and turn the focusing ring
clockwise all the way.

3.
Shoot a plain white object.
Shoot with a plain white object (such as a new sheet of white paper)
filling the screen, at a distance of 20–30 cm (0.7–
1.0 ft.).
Since the image will not be saved, the data can still be obtained even if
there is no card in the camera.
When the picture is taken, the camera will start collecting the Dust
Delete Data. When the Dust Delete Data is obtained, a message will
appear.
If the data is not obtained successfully, an error message will appear.
Check the information in Preparation, select [OK], and shoot again.
359

Dust Delete Data Appending
The camera will append the Dust Delete Data obtained to all shots from now on. Acquiring
Dust Delete Data before shooting is recommended.
For details about using Digital Photo Professional (EOS software) to erase dust spots
automatically, refer to the Digital Photo Professional Instruction Manual.
File size is essentially unaffected by Dust Delete Data appended to images.
Caution
If the object has any pattern or design, it may be recognized as dust data and affect
the accuracy of the dust deletion with the Digital Photo Professional (EOS
software).
Dust Delete Data is not added to shots taken under the following conditions.
• When [ : HDR Mode] is set to [Dynamic range]
• When [Distortion correction] in [ : Lens aberration correction] is set to
[Enable]

To cancel time-lapse movie recording in progress, press the movie shooting button.
The time-lapse movie shot so far will be recorded on the card.
If the time required for recording is more than 24 hours but not more than 48 hours,
“2 days” will be indicated. If three or more days are required, the number of days
will be indicated in 24-hour increments.
Even if the time-lapse movie's playback time is less than 1 sec., a movie file will still
be created. The playback time in this case is indicated as [00'00"].
If the shooting time is long, using the household power outlet accessories (sold
separately) is recommended.
YCbCr 4:2:0 (8-bit) color sampling and the BT.709 color space are used for Full HD
time-lapse movies.

Caution
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun or an
intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or the
camera's internal components.
Time-lapse movies cannot be recorded when the camera is connected to a
computer with the interface cable, or when an HDMI cable is connected.
Movie Servo AF will not function.
If the shutter speed is 1/30 sec. or slower, the exposure of the movie may not be
displayed properly (may differ from that of the resulting movie).
Do not zoom the lens during time-lapse movie recording. Zooming the lens may
cause the image to be out of focus, the exposure to change, or the lens aberration
correction not to function properly.
Recording time-lapse movies under flickering light may cause noticeable screen
flickering, and images may be captured with horizontal stripes (noise) or irregular
exposure.
Images displayed as time-lapse movies are recorded may look different from the
resulting movie (in details such as inconsistent brightness from flickering light
sources, or noise from a high ISO speed).
When recording a time-lapse movie under low light, the image displayed during
shooting may look different from what is actually recorded in the movie. In such
cases, the [ ] icon will blink.
If you move the camera from left to right (panning) or shoot a moving subject during
time-lapse movie recording, the image may look extremely distorted.
During time-lapse movie recording, auto power off will not take effect. Also, you
cannot adjust the shooting function and menu function settings, play back images,
etc.
Sound is not recorded for time-lapse movies.
To start or stop time-lapse movie recording, you can press the shutter button
completely, regardless of the [ : Shutter btn function for movies] setting.
Significant changes in brightness between shots may prevent the camera from
shooting at the specified interval when [Interval] is set to less than 3 sec. and
[Auto exposure] is set to [Each frame].
If the shutter speed exceeds the shooting interval (such as for long exposures), or if
a slow shutter speed is set automatically, the camera may not be able to shoot at
the set interval. Shooting may also be prevented by shooting intervals nearly the
same as the shutter speed.
If the next scheduled shot is not possible, it will be skipped. This may shorten the
recording time of the created time-lapse movie.
If the time it takes to record to the card exceeds the shooting interval due to the
shooting functions set or card performance, some of the shots may not be taken
with the set intervals.
The captured images are not recorded as still photos. Even if you cancel the time-
lapse movie recording after only one shot is taken, it will be recorded as a movie
file.
374

Set [ : Time-lapse movie] to [Disable] if you will connect the camera to a
computer with the interface cable and use EOS Utility (EOS software). Options
other than [Disable] will prevent the camera from communicating with the
computer.
Image stabilization is not applied in time-lapse movie recording.
Time-lapse movie shooting ends if the power switch is set to < >, for
example, and the setting is changed to [Disable].
Even if a flash is used, it will not fire.
The following operations cancel standby for time-lapse movie recording and switch
the setting to [Disable].
• Selecting [Basic settings] in [Reset camera]
• Changing the Mode dial to < > or < >
If you start time-lapse movie recording while the white [ ] ( ) icon is displayed,
the image quality of the time-lapse movie may deteriorate. It is recommended that
you start time-lapse movie recording after the white [
] icon disappears (camera's
internal temperature decreases).
With [Auto exposure] set to [Each frame], the ISO speed, shutter speed, and
aperture value may not be recorded in the time-lapse movie Exif information in
some shooting modes.
Note
You can use Wireless Remote Control BR-E1 (sold separately) to start and stop
time-lapse movie recording.
With Wireless Remote Control BR-E1
First, pair Wireless Remote Control BR-E1 with the camera ( ).
After you take some test shots and the camera is ready to shoot (as in step
14, ), set the release timing/movie shooting switch on the BR-E1 to <●>

FAQ
Are there any restrictions on the image quality?
Multiple exposures are captured as JPEG [ ] images. Even with [ : Image quality]
set to RAW only, they are captured as JPEG [ ] images.
Can I merge images recorded on the card?
With [Select image for multi. expo.], you can select the first single exposure from the
images recorded on the card ( ). Note that you cannot merge multiple images already
recorded on the card.
How are multiple-exposure files numbered?
With the camera set to save all images, multiple-exposure image files are named with
the next number after the number of the last single exposure used to create them.
Will auto power off take effect during multiple-exposure shooting?
During multiple-exposure shooting, auto power off will not take effect. Note that before
you start multiple-exposure shooting, auto power off automatically takes effect at the
time set in the [Auto power off] option of [ : Power saving], which will cancel multiple-
exposure shooting.
385

Focus Bracketing
Focus bracketing enables continuous shooting with the focal distance changed automatically
after each shot. These images enable you to create a single image in focus over a deep
depth of field. Compositing is also possible using an application that supports depth
compositing, such as Digital Photo Professional (EOS software).
1.
Select [ : Focus bracketing] ( ).
2.
Set [Focus bracketing].
Select [Enable].
3.
Set [Number of shots].
Specify the number of images captured per shot.
Can be set in a range of [2]–
[999].
386

4.
Set [Focus increment].
Specify how much to shift the focus. This amount is automatically
adjusted to suit the aperture value at the time of shooting.
Larger aperture values increase the focus shift and make focus
bracketing cover a wider range under the same focus increment and
number of shots.
After completing the settings, press < >.
5.
Set [Exposure smoothing].
Selecting [Enable] suppresses changes in image brightness during
focus bracketing by compensating for differences between the
displayed and actual aperture value (effective f-number), which varies
by focal position.
Select [Disable] if you prefer not to compensate for changes in image
brightness during focus bracketing. Use this option for purposes other
than depth compositing of the captured images in Digital Photo
Professional ( ).
387

6.
Set [Depth composite].
Select [Enable] for in-camera depth compositing. Both the depth-
composited image and the source images are saved.
Select [Disable] if you prefer not to perform in-camera depth
compositing. Only captured images are saved.
7.
Set [Crop depth comp.].
Select [Enable] for cropping before compositing, to prepare any
images without a sufficient angle of view for compositing alignment by
cropping them to correct the angle of view.
Select [Disable] if you prefer not to crop these images.
388

8.
Shoot.
To save your shots in a new folder, tap [ ] and select [OK].
Focus at the nearer end of your preferred focal range, then press the
shutter button completely.
Once shooting begins, release the shutter button.
The camera shoots continuously, shifting the focal position toward
infinity.
Shooting ends after your specified number of images, or at the far end
of the focal range.
To cancel shooting, press the shutter button completely again.
389

Caution
Focus bracketing is intended for still photo shooting on a tripod.
Shooting with a wider angle of view is recommended. After depth compositing, you
can crop the image if necessary.
For details on lenses compatible with this feature, visit the Canon website ( ).
Suitable [Focus increment] settings vary by subject. An unsuitable [Focus
increment] setting may cause unevenness in composite images, or shooting may
take more time because more shots are taken. Take some test shots to decide a
suitable [Focus increment] setting.
Flash photography is not available.
Shooting under flickering light may cause uneven images. In this case, lowering the
shutter speed may give better results.
Focus bracketing is not available when the camera is set to manual focus ( ).
Canceling shooting in progress may cause exposure problems in the last image.
Avoid using the last image when combining the images in Digital Photo
Professional.
Maximum shutter speed with focus bracketing is 1/8000 sec.
Depth compositing is canceled if you open the battery compartment or card slot
cover, or if the remaining battery capacity becomes too low. After cancellation,
composited images are not saved.
Depth compositing may fail for patterned images (with a lattice or stripes, for
example) or images that are generally flat and uniform.
When taking several shots, start by focusing closer, then gradually focus farther
away.
Too great a distance when moving the focal position between multiple shots may
cause unevenness in depth-composited images, or it may cause compositing to
fail.
Depth compositing is intended for subjects that are not moving. For this reason,
shooting subjects in motion may prevent effective compositing.
Depth compositing of images with multiple subjects may fail if your shots are
composed with the subjects far apart from each other, for example.
To cancel depth compositing in progress, press the < > button. Cancellation
discards the composited image but keeps all source images.
In depth compositing, optimal images from the shots are selected and combined by
the camera. Not all of the shots are combined to create the composite image.
Note
Using a tripod, remote switch (sold separately, ), or wireless remote control (sold
separately, ) is recommended.
For best results, set the aperture value in a range of f/5.6–11 before shooting.
Details such as shutter speed, aperture value, and ISO speed are determined by
conditions for the first shot.
[ : Focus bracketing] reverts to [Disable] when the power switch is set to
< >.
390

Depth compositing image quality setting and images saved
Composited images are saved as JPEG or HEIF images with image quality. RAW
composited images are not produced.
When [ Rec options] in [ : Record func+card/folder sel.] is set to [Rec.
separately], both slots save images with the same image quality as set for the card
selected in [ Play] in [ : Record func+card/folder sel.].
391

394

5.
Take the picture.
First shot is taken and shooting continues according to the interval
timer settings.
During interval timer shooting, [ ] will blink.
After the set number of shots are taken, the interval timer shooting will
stop and be automatically canceled.
Note
Using a tripod is recommended.
Taking test shots in advance is recommended.
Even during interval timer shooting, you can still shoot as usual by pressing the
shutter button completely. Note that the camera will prepare for the next interval
timer shot approx. 5 sec. in advance, which will temporarily prevent operations
such as adjusting shooting settings, accessing menus, and playing back images.
If the next scheduled interval timer shot is not possible because the camera is
shooting or processing images, it will be skipped. For this reason, fewer shots than
specified will be taken.
Even during interval timer operation, auto power off is triggered after approx. 8 sec.
of inactivity, as long as [Auto power off] under [ : Power saving] is not set to
[Disable].
Can also be combined with AEB, white balance bracketing, and multiple
exposures.
To stop interval timer shooting, select [Disable] or set the power switch to
< >.
395

Caution
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun or an
intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or the
camera's internal components.
Switching to AF focus mode prevents the camera from shooting unless subjects
are in focus. Consider setting the mode to manual focus and focusing manually
before shooting.
If the shooting time is long, using the household power outlet accessories (sold
separately) is recommended.
Shooting long exposures or using shutter speeds longer than the shooting interval
will prevent shooting at the specified interval. For this reason, fewer shots than
specified will be taken. Using shutter speeds nearly the same as the shooting
interval may also reduce the number of shots.
If the time it takes to record to the card exceeds the shooting interval due to the
shooting functions set or card performance, some of the shots may not be taken
with the set intervals.
When using flash with interval timer shooting, set an interval longer than the flash
charge time. Intervals that are too short may prevent the flash from firing.
Intervals that are too short may prevent shooting or autofocusing.
The interval timer is canceled and the setting changes to [Disable] under any of
these conditions.
• The power switch is set to < >
• The Mode dial is changed to <B>, <C1>, <C2>, or <C3>
• The camera is switched to movie recording
• EOS Utility (EOS software) is used
During interval timer shooting, you cannot use Remote Control Shooting or remote-
release shooting with a Speedlite.
396

Bulb Timer
You can set the exposure time for bulb exposures in advance. This feature eliminates the
need to keep holding down the shutter button during bulb exposures, which can reduce
camera shake.
Note that the bulb timer can only be set and will only take effect in <
B> (bulb exposure)
mode.
1.
Select [
: Bulb timer] ( ).

beeping in [
: Beep].
400

Caution
With the camera set to [Elec. 1st-curtain], defocused image areas may be
incomplete when you shoot near maximum aperture at high shutter speeds under
some shooting conditions. If you dislike the appearance of defocused image areas,
shooting as follows may give better results.
• Shoot with an option other than [Elec. 1st-curtain].
• Lower the shutter speed.
• Increase the aperture value.
Setting [ : Silent shutter function] to [On] sets the shutter mode to [Electronic
].
Zooming during continuous shooting may cause changes in exposure even at the
same f/number. For details, refer to the Canon website ( ).
Depending on the lens used, consider shooting with [Elec. 1st-curtain] or
[Electronic ] to ensure effective image stabilization. For details, refer to the lens
instruction manual.
Precautions when set to [Electronic ]
The continuous shooting speed may become slower depending on the shooting
conditions.
Images may lack suitable exposure if the aperture value changes in <P> (Program
AE) mode, <Tv> (Shutter-priority AE) mode, or <Fv> (Flexible-priority AE) mode.
With some lenses and under some shooting conditions, lens focusing and aperture
adjustment may be audible.
Bands of light may be displayed and captured images may be affected by light and
dark banding if you shoot with electronic shutter during flash firing by other
cameras or under fluorescent lighting or other flickering light sources.
Banding may appear in the viewfinder or on the screen if you shoot under flickering
light sources.

404

IS mode (movies/still photos, )
Activates image stabilization using lens IS. Displayed when IS lenses
without an IS switch are used. Not displayed for other lenses.
When using IS lenses with an IS switch, set the IS switch to < >.
Movie Digital IS (movies/still photos)
Activates image stabilization using the electronic IS mode feature.
• Off
Image stabilization with Movie digital IS is disabled.
• On ( )
Camera shake will be corrected. The image will be slightly
magnified.
• Enhanced ( )
Compared to when [On] is set, stronger camera shake can be
corrected. The image will be more magnified.
Subject tracking IS (movies, )
Activates image stabilization that keeps subjects relatively fixed on the
screen.
Attach a lens compatible with Movie digital IS and set [IS mode] and
[Subj. track. IS] to [On].
Tap the subject to be tracked to display a tracking frame (locked) [ ]
and start the Subject tracking IS.
[Screen center] activates image stabilization that keeps subjects being
tracked near the center of the screen.
[Sel. position] activates image stabilization so as to keep the subject
at the position when tapped.
Still photo IS (still photos)
[Always]: Provides constant image stabilization. [Only for shot]:
Image stabilization is active only at the moment of shooting.
405

Caution
The wider the angle of view (wide angle), the more effective the image stabilization
will be. The narrower the angle of view (telephoto), the less effective the image
stabilization will be.
When using a tripod, setting Movie digital IS to [Off] is recommended.
Consider setting to [Off] when using a TS-E lens or fish-eye lens.
In some cases, this may not provide sufficient stabilization for certain lenses.
[IS mode] is not available for lenses with an IS switch ([ : IS (Image Stabilizer)
mode] cannot be used in still photo shooting). Use the IS switch on the lens
instead.
Display reverts to the state before IS was activated when you set the IS switch of a
lens to < >. This may make display seem unstable, depending on the
conditions that were stabilized.
Movie digital IS
Movie digital IS will not function when the lens's optical Image Stabilizer switch is
set to < >.
With non-IS lenses, setting [ Digital IS] to [On] or [Enhanced] also sets [IS
mode] to [On].
Although movies can also be recorded with Movie digital IS when using RF-S or
EF-S lenses or movie cropping, the image area is further reduced.
With the frame rate set to 100.0 fps or higher, Movie digital IS may not provide
sufficient stabilization when shooting with a macro lens near the closest focusing
distance.
Stabilization by Movie digital IS may be less effective at some movie recording
sizes.
Depending on the subject and shooting conditions, the subject may blur noticeably
(the subject momentarily looks out of focus) due to the effects of the Movie digital
IS.
Since the images is magnified, the image appears more grainy. Noise, dots of light,
etc. may also become noticeable.
406

Subject tracking IS
For instructions on selecting subjects to track, see Tracking with a Button and
Subject to Detect ( , ).
When the tracking target lock is canceled, lock the subject once again as the
tracking target.
The following types of subjects or shooting conditions may prevent proper subject
tracking.
• Subjects with very low contrast.
• Subjects in low light.
• Strongly backlit or reflective subjects.
• There are two or more possible subjects to be tracked on screen.
• The subject to be tracked is hidden or partially hidden.
• When there are fluctuations in the subject's dimensions.
• When there are changes in the subject's color or brightness.
• When the subject frequently changes its posture.
• When the camera moves too quickly or slowly.
• When the camera movement does not match the subject's movement.
• With long lens focal lengths.
The effect of stabilizing the subject position increases as the angle of view widens
(wide‐angle side) and decreases as the angle of view narrows (telephoto side).
Since Subject tracking IS magnifies the image, the image appears more grainy.
Noise, dots of light, etc. may also become noticeable.
Although movies can also be recorded with Subject tracking IS when using RF-S or
EF-S lenses or movie cropping, the image area is further reduced.

Warning Indicator Display During Shooting or Recording
General Movie Recording Precautions
Guidance Display Before Recording
Shutdown warning guidance may be displayed when the camera starts up, after settings are
adjusted, or in other situations ( ).
The guidance warns that the camera may become hot internally if movies are recorded
under the current settings, and that if you continue recording, the camera may turn off
automatically.
If you will record over an extended period, consider changing the setting indicated by the
guidance (movie recording size), so that you can record without the camera displaying
guidance.
If you prefer to record without changing the settings, note any warning indicators displayed
as you record.
475

Warning Indicator Display During Shooting or Recording
A 10-level indicator (1) is displayed during still photo shooting or movie recording in case of
excessive internal camera temperature.
As the internal temperature rises, the level on the indicator extends to the right. How fast the
level increases will depend on shooting conditions. Levels 1–7 are marked in white, but once
the temperature reaches level 8, the color changes.
[ ] flashes in red if you continue recording after the indicator reaches level 9, marked in
orange. A flashing icon indicates that the camera will soon turn off automatically.
A message is displayed if you continue to record while the icon is flashing, and the camera
automatically turns off.
Subsequent recording
To keep recording under the same settings, leave the camera off and let it cool down a
while. Note that the camera may overheat again after you resume recording.
476

General Movie Recording Precautions
Caution
Precautions for movie recording
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun or an
intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or the
camera's internal components.
If you record something that has fine detail, moire or false colors may result.
If [ ] or [ ] is set and the ISO speed or aperture value changes during
movie recording, the white balance may also change.
If you record a movie under fluorescent or LED lighting, the movie image may
flicker.
If you perform AF with a USM lens during movie recording in low light, horizontal
banding noise may be recorded in the movie. The same type of noise may occur if
you focus manually with certain lenses equipped with an electronic focusing ring.
Recording a few test movies is recommended if you intend to perform zooming
during movie recording. Zooming as you record movies may cause exposure
changes or lens sounds to be recorded, an uneven audio level, inaccurate lens
aberration correction, or loss of focus.
Large aperture values may delay or prevent accurate focusing.
Performing AF during movie recording may cause the following kinds of issues:
significant temporary loss of focus, recording of changes in movie brightness,
temporary stopping of movie recording, or recording of mechanical lens sounds.
Avoid covering the built-in microphones with your fingers or other objects.
Connecting or disconnecting an HDMI cable during movie recording will end
recording.
If necessary, also see General Still Photo Shooting Precautions.
The camera may become hot in movie recording while connected via Wi-Fi. Use a
tripod or take other measures to avoid handheld recording.
Image quality may be lower when recording movies under a combination of
conditions such as high ISO speeds, high temperatures, low shutter speeds, and
low light.
Recording movies over an extended period may cause the camera's internal
temperature to rise and affect image quality. Turn off the camera when possible if
you are not recording movies.
Recording and image quality
If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer and you set the Image Stabilizer switch
to < >, the Image Stabilizer will operate at all times even if you do not press the
shutter button halfway. This will consume battery power, and it may reduce the total
movie recording time. When the Image Stabilizer is not necessary, such as when
using a tripod, it is recommended that you set the Image Stabilizer switch to
< >.
477

If the brightness changes as you record a movie with auto exposure, the movie
may appear to stop momentarily. In this case, record movies with manual
exposure.
If there is a very bright light source in the image, the bright area may appear black
on the screen.
Image noise or irregular colors may occur when recording at high ISO speeds, high
temperatures, slow shutter speeds, or under low light.
Video and audio quality of recorded movies may be worse on other devices, and
playback may not be possible, even if the devices support XF-HEVC/XF-AVC
formats.
If you use a card with a slow writing speed, an indicator may appear on the right
of the screen during movie recording. The indicator shows how much data has
not yet been written to the card (remaining capacity of the internal buffer
memory), and it increases more quickly the slower the card is. If the indicator (2)
becomes full, movie recording will stop automatically.
If the card has a fast writing speed, the indicator will not appear or the level (if
displayed) will not increase much. First, record a few test movies to see if the card
can write fast enough.
If the indicator shows that the card is full, and movie recording stops automatically,
the sound near the end of the movie may not be recorded properly.
If the card's writing speed is slow (due to fragmentation) and the indicator appears,
formatting the card may make the writing speed faster.
Banding or noise may be noticeable in dark image areas, depending on [Custom
Picture], [ : HDR shooting (PQ)], [ : Highlight tone priority], or [ :
HDMI RAW output] settings, due to the effect of settings that determine the
dynamic range, gamma curve, and similar details. Record a few test movies and
check the results in advance.
Image quality may improve if you change the ISO speed or the [ : High ISO
speed NR] or [Shadow comp.] settings, or, in post-production, perform color
grading.
Audio restrictions
The following restrictions apply in [ ] mode.
• Sound will not be recorded for approx. the last two frames.
• When you play back movies in Windows, movie images and sound may
become slightly out of synchronization.
478

Note
Notes for movie recording
Each time you record a movie, a new movie file is created on the card.
Field of view (coverage) is approx. 100%.
Focusing is also possible by pressing the < > button.
To enable starting/stopping movie recording by pressing the shutter button
completely, set [Fully-press] for [ : Shutter btn function for movies] to [Start/

General Still Photo Shooting Precautions
Information Display in Still Photo Shooting
For details on the icons displayed for still photo shooting, see Information Display.
Note
White display of the [ ] icon indicates that your shots will be about as bright
as the image displayed.
If the [ ] icon is blinking, it indicates that the image is displayed at a
brightness that differs from the actual shooting result because of low- or bright-light
conditions. However, the actual image recorded will reflect the exposure setting.
Note that the noise may be more noticeable than the actual image recorded.
Display simulation may not be performed under some shooting settings. The
[ ] icon and histogram will be displayed in gray. The image will be displayed
on the screen at the standard brightness. The histogram may not be properly
displayed in low- or bright-light conditions.
No histogram is displayed when [ : Display simulation] ( ) is set to [Disable]
or [Exposure only during
DOF].

General Still Photo Shooting Precautions
Caution
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun or an
intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or the
camera's internal components.
Image quality
When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (such as dots of light and banding) may
become noticeable.
Shooting in high temperatures may cause noise and irregular colors in the image.
Frequent shooting over an extended period may cause high internal temperatures
and affect image quality. When you are not shooting, always turn off the camera.
If you shoot a long exposure while the camera's internal temperature is high, image
quality may decline. Stop shooting and wait a few minutes before shooting again.
White [ ] internal temperature warning icon
A white [ ] icon indicates high internal camera temperature, caused by factors
such as extended shooting or use in hot environments.
The white [ ] icon indicates that the image quality of still photos will decline. Stop
shooting for a while and allow the camera to cool down.
Shooting at low ISO speeds instead of high speeds is recommended when the
white [ ] icon is displayed.
Extended shooting under high temperature will cause the white [ ] icon to appear
earlier. When you are not shooting, always turn off the camera.
If the camera's internal temperature is high, the quality of images shot with a high
ISO speed or long exposure may decline even before the white [ ] icon is
displayed.
Camera overheating indicator
A temperature indicator [ ] is displayed when the camera begins to become
hot.
For details on how indicator display corresponds to camera operation, see Warning
Indicator Display During Shooting or Recording.
Shooting results
In magnified view, the shutter speed and aperture value will be displayed in orange.
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.
Even if you take the picture in magnified view, the image will be captured with the
image area of the normal view.
481

Images and display
Under low- or bright-light conditions, the displayed image may not reflect the
brightness of the captured image.
Although noise may be noticeable in images under low light (even at low ISO
speeds), there will be less noise in your shots, due to differences in image quality
between displayed and captured images.
The screen may flicker if the light source (lighting) changes. In this case, stop
shooting temporarily and resume under the light source you will use.
Pointing the camera at different direction may momentarily prevent correct display
of brightness. Wait until the brightness level stabilizes before shooting.
If there is a very bright light source in the image, the bright area may appear black
on the screen.
Under low light, bright [ : Screen brightness] settings may cause noise or
irregular colors in images. However, the noise or irregular colors will not be
recorded in the captured image.
When you magnify the image, the image sharpness may look more pronounced
than in the actual setting.
Lens
If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer and you set the Image Stabilizer switch
to < >, the Image Stabilizer will operate at all times even if you do not press
the shutter button halfway. The Image Stabilizer consumes battery power and may
decrease the number of available shots depending on the shooting conditions.
When the Image Stabilizer is not necessary, such as when using a tripod, it is
recommended that you set the Image Stabilizer switch to < >.
With EF lenses, focus preset during shooting is only available when using (super)
telephoto lenses equipped with this function released in and after the second half of
2011.
Note
The field of view is approx. 100% (with image quality set to JPEG ).
If the camera is idle over an extended period, the screen will turn off automatically
after the time set in [Screen off] or [Viewfinder off] under [
: Power saving]. The
camera then turns off automatically after the time set in [Auto power off] ( ).
Using a commercially available HDMI cable, you can display images on a television
( ). Note that no sound will be output.

Caution
Precautions when set to [Movie Servo AF: Enable]
Shooting conditions that make focusing difficult
• A fast-moving subject approaching or moving away from the camera.
• A subject moving at a close distance to the camera.
• When shooting with a higher aperture value.
• Also see Shooting Conditions That Make Focusing Difficult.
Since the lens is driven continuously and the battery power is consumed, the
possible movie recording time will be shortened.
The camera's built-in microphone may also record mechanical sounds of the lens
or sounds of camera/lens operations if AF operations are performed or the camera
or lens is operated during movie recording. If so, it may help reduce these sounds if
you use an external microphone equipped with an output plug and position it away
from the camera and lens.
Movie Servo AF pauses during zooming or magnified view.
During movie recording, if a subject approaches or moves away or if the camera is
moved vertically or horizontally (panning), the recorded image may momentarily
expand or contract (change in image magnification).
Note
To change shutter button operation, see Shutter Button Function for Movies.

appears on the screen if you have set [ : AF area] to an option
other than [Whole area AF]. In this case, aim the AF point over the
subject.
A tracking frame [ ] appears over any subjects detected.
Tracking frames [ ] away from AF points are displayed in gray, except
in some cases.
Once the tracked subject is near an AF point, even if it is outside the
AF point, the tracking frame turns white (distinguishing it as an active
frame), which enables selection as the main subject.
Gray display of tracking frames [ ] does not apply in movie recording.
534

2.
Focus and shoot/record.
A tracking frame is displayed (in green for One-Shot AF or blue for
Servo AF) when you press the shutter button halfway, and the camera
beeps (only for One-Shot AF).
An orange tracking frame indicates that the camera could not focus on
subjects.
Note

shake. Using a tripod is recommended.
544

AF Shooting Tips
Even when focus is achieved, pressing the shutter button halfway will focus again.
Image brightness may change before and after autofocusing.
Depending on the subject and shooting conditions, it may take longer to focus, or the
continuous shooting speed may decrease.
If the light source changes as you shoot, the screen may flicker, and focusing may be
difficult. In this case, restart the camera and resume shooting with AF under the light
source you will use.
If focusing is not possible with AF, focus manually ( ).
For subjects at the edge of the screen that are slightly out of focus, try centering the
subject (or AF point, or Zone AF frame) to bring them into focus, then recompose the
shot before shooting.
With certain lenses, it may take more time to achieve focus with autofocus, or accurate
focusing may not be achieved.
545

Shooting Conditions That Make Focusing Difficult
Subjects with low contrast, such as a blue sky or flat surfaces in solid colors, or other
cases when highlight or shadow details are clipped.
Subjects in low light.
Stripes and other patterns where there is contrast only in the horizontal direction.
Subjects with repetitive patterns (Example: Skyscraper windows, computer keyboards,
etc.).

Tracking sensitivity
Setting for Servo AF subject-tracking sensitivity in response to non-subjects moving across
AF points or subjects straying from AF points.
0
Standard setting. Suitable for moving subjects in general.
Locked on: –2 / –1
The camera will try to continue focusing on the subject even if non-subjects move
across AF points or if the subject strays from the AF points. The –2 setting makes the
camera keep tracking the target subject longer than the –1 setting.
However, if the camera focuses on a wrong subject, it may take slightly longer to switch
and focus on the target subject.
Responsive: +2 / +1
The camera can focus consecutively on subjects at different distances that are covered
by the AF points. Also effective when you want to always focus on the closest subject.
The +2 setting is more responsive than the +1 setting when focusing on the next
subject.
However, the camera will be more prone to focus on an unintended subject.
577

Acceleration/deceleration tracking
Setting for subject-tracking sensitivity in response to sudden, significant changes in speed,
as when subjects suddenly start or stop moving.
0
Suited for subjects that move at a steady speed (minor changes in moving speed).
–2 / –1
Suited for subjects that move at a steady speed (minor changes in moving speed).
Effective when a setting of 0 makes focus unstable, due to slight subject movement or
an obstruction in front of the subject.
+2 / +1
Effective for subjects having sudden movements, sudden acceleration/deceleration, or
sudden stops. Even if the moving subject's speed suddenly changes significantly, the
camera continues to focus on the target subject. For example, the camera is less likely
to focus behind a subject that suddenly starts approaching you, or in front of an
approaching subject that suddenly stops moving. Setting +2 can track dramatic changes
in the moving subject's speed better than with +1.
However, since the camera will be sensitive to even slight movements of the subject,
focusing may become unstable for short periods.

[Customize AF operation]
Lens operation when AF is not available
You can specify lens operation that applies when autofocusing on a subject is not possible.
ON: Continue focus search
If focus cannot be achieved with autofocus, the lens is driven to search for the precise
focus.
OFF: Stop focus search
If autofocus starts and the focus is far off or if focus cannot be achieved, the lens drive
will not be performed. This prevents the lens from becoming grossly out of focus due to
the focus search drive.
Caution
[Stop focus search] is recommended for super telephoto lenses or other lenses
that are driven over a large focus area, to avoid significant delay from focus search
drive if the lens becomes greatly out of focus.

[Subject detection] (in movie recording)
Subject-switching sensitivity
You can set how easily the focus switches if a new subject is detected during movie
recording. The higher the value, the easier it is to switch subjects.
Low
With these levels, the camera is less likely to track a different subject if the main subject
strays from the AF points. The smaller the value, the less responsive the camera is.
It is effective when you want to prevent the AF points from rapidly tracking something
that is not the intended subject during panning or when an obstacle cuts across the AF
points.
High
These levels make the camera more responsive to subjects acquired by the AF point.
The larger the value, the more responsive the camera is.
It is effective when you want to keep tracking a subject that moves toward or away from
the camera quickly, or when you want the camera to be able to switch subjects easily.

707

[Brightness] display
This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of the image's brightness level, with
the horizontal axis indicating the brightness level (darker on the left and brighter on the
right) and the vertical axis indicating the pixel count at each brightness level. The more
pixels there are toward the left, the darker the image, and the more pixels there are
toward the right, the brighter the image. If there are too many pixels on the left, detail in
shadows will be lost, and if there are too many pixels on the right, detail in highlights will
be lost. The gradation in-between will be reproduced. By checking the image and its
brightness histogram, you can see the exposure level inclination and the overall
gradation.
Sample histograms
Dark image
Normal brightness
Bright image
708

[RGB] display
This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of each primary color's brightness
level in the image (RGB or red, green, and blue), with the horizontal axis indicating the
color's brightness level (darker on the left and brighter on the right) and the vertical axis
indicating the pixel count at each color brightness level. The more pixels there are
toward the left, the darker and less prominent the color, and the more pixels there are
toward the right, the brighter and denser the color. If there are too many pixels on the
left, the corresponding color information will be lacking, and if there are too many pixels
on the right, the color will be too saturated, without gradation. By checking the image's
RGB histogram, you can see the color's saturation and gradation conditions, as well as
the white balance bias.
709

Displaying the Highlight Alert

Wireless Communication Precautions
Distance Between the Camera and the Smartphone
Installation Location of Access Point Antenna
Nearby Electronic Devices
Precautions for Using Multiple Cameras
If the transmission rate drops, the connection is lost, or other problems occur when using the
wireless communication functions, try the following corrective actions.
888

Distance Between the Camera and the Smartphone
If the camera is too far from the smartphone, a Wi-Fi connection may not be established
even when Bluetooth connection is possible. In this case, bring the camera and the
smartphone closer together, then establish a
Wi-Fi connection.
Installation Location of Access Point Antenna
When using indoors, install the device in the room where you are using the camera.
Install the device where people or objects do not come between the device and the
camera.
Nearby Electronic Devices
If the Wi-Fi transmission rate drops because of the influence of the following electronic
devices, stop using them or move further away from the devices to transmit communication.
The camera communicates over Wi-Fi via IEEE 802.11b/g/n using radio waves in the
2.4 GHz band. For this reason, the Wi-Fi transmission rate will drop if there are
Bluetooth devices, microwave ovens, cordless telephones, microphones, smartphones,
other cameras, or similar devices operating on the same frequency band nearby.
Precautions for Using Multiple Cameras
When connecting multiple cameras to one access point via Wi-Fi, make sure the
cameras' IP addresses are different.
When multiple cameras are connected to one access point via Wi-Fi, the transmission
rate drops.
When there are multiple IEEE 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz band) access points, leave a gap of
five channels between each Wi-Fi
channel to reduce radio wave interference. For
example, use channels 1, 6, and 11, channels 2 and 7, or channels 3 and 8.
889

Security
When connecting the camera to a network, make sure to use a secure network environment.
It is recommended to use the camera with the default settings.
When connecting the camera to a network, there is a risk of unauthorized access from
unintended third parties or cyber-attacks. If access from an external network is not required,
physically and/or virtually block access so that only specified devices can access the
network. Additionally, Wi-Fi (wireless LAN) may be intercepted by malicious third parties,
posing a risk of eavesdropping on communication content.
If access to an external network is required, it is important to implement a secure method of
communication, such as using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) that can block access from
the outside. Use Wi-Fi in a secure environment. AES encryption is recommended.
In particular, the following functions do not support protocol encryption for communication
with the camera; therefore, use these functions in a secure network environment.
Content Transfer Professional
Camera Connect
EOS Utility
Caution
Canon shall not be liable for any direct or indirect damages caused by network
security issues.
The camera cannot be directly connected to the communication lines (including
public wireless LAN) of telecommunications carriers (mobile communications
companies, fixed-line communications companies, Internet providers, etc.).
When connecting the camera to the Internet, be sure to connect via a router or
similar device.

Since low-level formatting will format all recordable sectors on the card, the formatting
will take longer than normal formatting.
During low-level formatting, you can cancel formatting by selecting [Cancel]. Even in
this case, normal formatting will already be complete and you can use the card as usual.
Card file formats
CFexpress cards are exFAT formatted.
SD cards are FAT16 or FAT12 formatted.
SDHC cards are FAT32 formatted.
SHXC cards are exFAT formatted.
Individual movies recorded to exFAT-formatted cards are recorded as a single file
(without splitting them into multiple files) even if they exceed 4 GB, so the resulting
movie file will exceed 4 GB.
Caution
It may not be possible to use cards formatted with this camera in other cameras.
Also note that exFAT-formatted cards may not be recognized by some computer
operating systems or card readers.
Formatting or erasing data on a card does not completely erase the data. Be aware
of this when selling or discarding the card. When disposing of cards, take steps to
protect personal information if necessary, as by physically destroying cards.
Note
The card capacity displayed on the card format screen may be smaller than the
capacity indicated on the card.
This device incorporates exFAT technology licensed from Microsoft.

Safety shift
If the subject brightness changes and the standard exposure cannot be obtained within the
autoexposure range, the camera will automatically change the manually selected setting to
obtain the standard exposure. [Shutter speed/Aperture] applies to <Tv> or <Av> mode.
[ISO speed] applies to <P>, <Tv>, or <
Av> mode.
OFF: Disable
Tv/Av: Shutter speed/Aperture
ISO: ISO speed
Note
Safety shift overrides any changes to [ISO speed range] or [Min. shutter spd.]
from default settings in [ : ISO speed settings] if standard exposure cannot
be obtained.
The minimum and maximum limits for the safety shift with the ISO speed are
determined by [Auto range] ( ). However, if the manually set ISO speed exceeds
the [Auto range], the safety shift will take effect up or down to the manually set
ISO speed.
Safety shift will take effect as necessary even when flash is used.
1030

Same expo. for new aperture
The maximum aperture value may decrease (the lowest f/number may increase) in <
M>
mode (manual exposure shooting) with ISO speed set manually (except when set to ISO
Auto) if you (1) Change lenses, (2) Attach an extender, or (3) Use a zoom lens with a
variable maximum aperture value. This function prevents the corresponding underexposure
by adjusting ISO speed or shutter speed (Tv value) automatically to maintain the same
exposure as before (1), (2), or (3).
With [ISO speed/Shutter speed], the ISO speed is automatically adjusted within the ISO
speed range. If exposure cannot be maintained by adjusting ISO speed, shutter speed (Tv
value) is automatically adjusted.
OFF: Disable
ISO: ISO speed
ISO/Tv: ISO speed/Shutter speed
Tv: Shutter speed
Caution
Does not respond to changes in effective aperture value from changes in
magnification when macro lenses are used.
Cannot provide the same exposure as before (1), (2), or (3) if [ISO speed] is set
and the exposure cannot be maintained at speeds in [ISO speed range].
Cannot provide the same exposure as before (1), (2), or (3) if [Shutter speed] is
set and the exposure cannot be maintained at speeds set in [ : Set shutter
speed range].
Shutter speed is limited to 1/8000 when [ : Shutter mode] is [Electronic ]
and [Same expo. for new aperture] is set to [Shutter speed] or [ISO speed/
Shutter speed].
Note
Also responds to changes in the highest f/number (minimum aperture).
The original exposure setting is restored if you perform (1), (2), or (3) with [ISO
speed], [ISO speed/Shutter speed], or [Shutter speed] set and do not adjust ISO
speed, shutter speed, or aperture value before returning the camera to the original
state, before (1), (2), or (3).
Shutter speed may change to maintain exposure if the ISO speed increases to an
expanded ISO speed when [ISO speed] is set.
1031

[Other C.Fn/Reset]
Add cropping information
Adding cropping information displays vertical lines for the aspect ratio specified in shooting,
so that you can compose shots as if shooting with a medium- or large-format camera (6×6
cm, 4×5 inch, and so on).
When you shoot, instead of cropping images recorded to the card, the camera adds aspect
ratio information to images for cropping in the Digital Photo Professional (EOS software).
You can import images to Digital Photo Professional on a computer and easily crop images
to the aspect ratio set at the time of shooting.
OFF: Disable
6:6: Aspect ratio 6:6
3:4: Aspect ratio 3:4
4:5: Aspect ratio 4:5
6:7: Aspect ratio 6:7
5:6: Aspect ratio 10:12
5:7: Aspect ratio 5:7
Caution
Cropping information can only be added when [ : Cropping/aspect ratio] is
set to [Full-frame].
JPEG or HEIF images are not saved at the cropped size if you use the camera to
process RAW images with cropping information ( ). In this case, RAW processing
produces JPEG or HEIF images with cropping information.

Playback problems
Part of the image blinks in black.
[ : Highlight alert] is set to [Enable] ( ).
A red box is displayed on the image.
[ : AF point disp.] is set to [Enable] ( ).
During image playback, the AF points are not displayed.
AF points are not displayed when the following types of images are played back:

( ). Clear the image search conditions.
Mechanical sounds or sounds of camera operations can be heard
during movie playback.
The camera's built-in microphone may also record mechanical sounds of the lens or
sounds of camera/lens operations if AF operations are performed or the camera or lens
is operated during movie recording. If so, it may help reduce these sounds if you use an
external microphone equipped with an output plug and position it away from the camera
and lens.
1081

Movie playback stops by itself.
Extended movie playback or movie playback under high ambient temperature may
cause the camera's internal temperature to rise, and movie playback may stop
automatically.
If this happens, playback is disabled until the camera's internal temperature decreases,
so turn off the power and let the camera cool down a while.
The movie appears to freeze momentarily.
Significant change in the exposure level during autoexposure movie recording may
cause recording to stop momentarily until the brightness stabilizes. In this case, record
in [ ] mode ( ).
No picture appears on the television.
Make sure [ : System frequency] is set to [59.94Hz:NTSC] or [50.00Hz:PAL] correctly
for the video system of your television.
Make sure the HDMI cable's plug is inserted all the way in ( ).
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 this case, connect the camera to the computer with
the interface cable, then import the images to the computer using EOS Utility (EOS
software, ).
Images cannot be resized or cropped.
This camera cannot resize JPEG images, RAW images, or frame-grab images from
4K movies saved as still photos ( ).
This camera cannot crop RAW images or frame-grab images from 4K movies saved as

by cosmic rays or similar factors. Their appearance may be reduced by performing
[Clean now
] under [ : Sensor cleaning] ( ).
1082

Sensor cleaning problems
The shutter makes a sound during sensor cleaning.
Although there is a mechanical sound from the shutter during cleaning after [Clean now
] is selected, no image is recorded to the card ( ).
Automatic sensor cleaning does not work.
Repeatedly sliding the power switch between < / > and < > within a
short period may prevent the [ ] icon from being displayed ( ).
1083

Computer connection problems
I cannot import images to a computer.
Install EOS Utility (EOS software) on the computer ( ).
