Are there any restrictions on the image-recording quality?
All JPEG image-recording quality settings can be selected. If  41 
or  61  is set, the merged multiple-exposure will be a  1 image.
 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 (p.231). Note that 
you cannot merge multiple images already recorded on the card.
 Are multiple exposures possible with Live View shooting?
With [ On:Func/Ctrl ] set, you can shoot multiple exposures with Live 
View shooting (p.255). Note that [ Full-frame] will be applied for 
[z 4: Crop/aspect ratio ] for shooting.

What file numbers are used for saving merged multiple-exposures?
If all images are set to be saved, the merged multiple-exposure 
image file number will be the serial number coming after the file 
number of the final single exposure used to create the merged 
multiple-exposure image.

Will auto power off take effect during multiple-exposure shooting?
As long as [ 52: Auto power off ] is set to any setting other than 
[Disable], the power will turn off automatically after 30 min. of non-
operation. If the auto power off takes effect, multiple-exposure 
shooting will end, and multiple-e xposure settings will be canceled.
Before starting the multiple-exposure shooting, the auto power off 
will take effect as set with the camera, and multiple-exposure 
settings will be canceled.

Camera vibrations caused by the mirror’s reflex action when the picture 
is taken is called “mirror shock” . Mirror lockup keeps the mirror up 
before and while shooting to reduce bl ur caused by camera vibrations. 
Useful when shooting closeups (mac ro photography), using a super 
telephoto lens, and shooting at slow shutter speeds.
1Select [Mirror lockup].
Under the [z 4] tab, select [Mirror 
lockup ], then press < 0>.
2Select the desired setting.
When you exit the menu,  will 
be displayed on the LCD panel.
3Take the picture.
 If you select [ Press V twice to 
shoot ], press the shutter button 
completely to lock up the mirror, then 
press it completely again to take a 
picture.
 If you select [ Shoot * sec. after 
press], press the shutter button 
completely to lock up the mirror. A 
picture will be taken after the set time 
elapses. You can select 1/8 sec. after, 
1/4 sec. after, 1/2 sec. after, 1 sec. 
after, or 2 sec. after.

Use a sturdy tripod suited for the camera weight. Mount the camera 
securely on the tripod.
 Using a remote switch or a remote controller is recommended 
(p.237).
 In addition to mirror lockup, Silent LV shooting (p.266) and Silent 
single shooting (p.142) are also effective.
 When using mirror lockup, setting [ Shoot * sec. after press] is 
recommended. Selecting a longer time, such as [ Shoot 2 sec. after 
press ], will increase time before the shot, reducing mirror shock.
 Minimizing Blurred Photos
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.
 In very bright light, such as at the beach or a ski slope on a sunny day, 
take the picture promptly afte r mirror lockup is stabilized.
 When [ Press V twice to shoot ] is set, single shooting will take effect 
even if the drive mode is set to continuous shooting.
 If [z 4: Interval timer ] or [z4: Bulb timer ] is set to [Enable], you 
cannot select [ Press V twice to shoot ].
 If you use [ Shoot *sec. after press ] for Multi Shot Noise Reduction 
shooting or HDR shooting, the [ Shoot *sec. after press] setting will be 
applied only to the first shot. (Continuous shooting will apply for the 
second and subsequent shots.)
 During mirror lockup, shooting function settings and menu are disabled.
When [ Shoot * sec. after press ] is set, you can also use the self-timer or 
bulb timer with mirror lockup.
 If 30 sec. elapse after the mirror has locked up, it will go back down 
automatically. Pressing the shutter button completely locks up the mirror 
again.
 For mirror lockup, using a tripod and Remote Switch RS-80N3 (sold 
separately) or Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 (sold separately) is 
recommended (p.237).
 You can also use a remote controller (sold separately, p.237) with mirror 
lockup. Setting the remote controller to a 2-sec. delay is recommended.

When you use the self-timer, bulb, or a remote switch and do not look 
through the viewfinder, stray light entering the viewfinder can cause the 
picture to look dark. To prevent this, use the eyepiece cover (p.35) 
attached to the camera strap.
During Live View shooting and movie  shooting, it is not necessary to 
attach the eyepiece cover.
1Detach the eyecup.
While grasping both sides of the 
eyecup, slide it upward to detach it.
2Attach the eyepiece cover.
Slide the eyepiece cover down into 
the eyepiece groove to attach it.
 After you finish shooting, detach the 
eyepiece cover and attach the 
eyecup.

You can connect the Remote Switch RS-80N3 (sold separately) or 
Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 (sold separately) or any EOS 
accessory equipped with an N3-type terminal to the camera for 
shooting (p.454).
To operate the accessory, refer to its instruction manual.
1Open the terminal cover.
2Connect the plug to the remote 
control terminal.
Connect the plug as shown in the 
illustration.
 To disconnect the plug, grasp the 
silver part and pull.

 Fluorescent or LED lighting may  cause camera misoperation by 
triggering the shutter inadvertently. Try to keep the camera away from 
such light sources.
 If you point a remote controller for a TV set toward the camera and 
operate it, it may cause camera misoperation by triggering the shutter 
inadvertently.
 If flash light is emitted from a flash on another camera around this 
camera, it may cause camera misoperation by triggering the shutter 
inadvertently. Do not expose the remote control sensor to flash light from 
a flash on another camera.
Remote control shooting is also possib le with devices such as an EX-series 
Speedlite equipped with a remote-release function (sold separately).

 After the interval timer shooting starts, you can still press the shutter 
button completely to take a picture as usual. However, from 5 sec. before 
the next interval timer shooting, the  shooting function settings, menu

the camera will be ready to shoot.
 If a picture is taken or an image is be ing processed as the next interval 
timer shooting, that in terval timer shooting will be canceled. This will 
make the number of interval timer images captured lower than the set

 Auto power off operates with the interval timer. The power will 
automatically turn on approx. 1 min. before the next shot.
 Interval timer shooting can be combined with AEB, WB bracketing, 
multiple exposures, and HDR mode.
