  If  or < M> is set, the time lag from  when you press the shutter 
button completely until the picture is shot will be sl ightly longer than with 
normal single or co ntinuous shooting.
  When the battery level  is low, the continuous shooting speed may 
become slightly slower.
  In AI Servo AF operation, the cont inuous shooting speed may become 
slightly slower depending on  the subject and the lens used.
  o: The maximum continuous shooting  speed of approx. 7 shots/sec. is 
attained under the following conditions*: At 1/500  sec. or faster shutter 
speed, and at the maximum aperture (varies depending on  the lens). The 
continuous shooting  speed may decrease due  to shutter speed, 
aperture, subject conditions, brightne ss, lens, flash use, temperature, 
battery remaining capacity, etc.
*
With the AF mode set to  One-Shot AF and the Image Stabilizer  turned off when 
using the following lenses: EF300mm f/4L  IS USM, EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM, 
EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM, EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM.
 When using Battery  Grip BG-E14 (sold sepa rately) and size-AA/LR6 
batteries, high-speed continuous  shooting speed will be slower.

Use the self-timer when you want to be in the picture.
1Press the  button. (9 )
2Select the self-timer.
 While looking at the LCD panel, turn 
the < 6> or < 5> dial to select the 
self-timer delay.
Q : 10-sec. self-timer
k : 2-sec. self-timer
3Take the picture.
 Look through the viewfinder, focus 
the subject, then press the shutter 
button completely.
X You can check the self-timer 
operation with the self-timer lamp, 
beeper, and countdown display (in 
seconds) on the LCD panel.
X Two seconds before the picture is 
taken, the self-timer lamp will light up 
and the beeper will sound faster.
j Using the Self-timer
  The < k> enables you to shoot whil e not touching the camera 
mounted on a tripod. This prevents  camera shake while you shoot still 
lifes or long exposures.
  After taking self-timer shots, play ing back the image (p.290) to check 
focus and exposure  is recommended.
  When using the self-timer to shoot only  yourself, use focus lock (p.75) on 
an object at about the same dist ance as where you will stand.
  To cancel the self-timer af ter it starts, press the  button.
If you do not look  through the viewfind er when you press the shutter button, 
attach the eyepiece cover (p.183). If  stray light enters the viewfinder when 
the picture is taken, it  may throw off the exposure.

A RAW image is raw data output by the image sensor converted to 
digital data. It is recorded to the  card as is, and you can select the 
quality as follows:  1, 41 , or 61 .
A  1  image can be processed with [ 31: RAW image processing ] 
(p.328) and saved as a JPEG image. ( 41 and 61  images cannot 
be processed with the camera.) While the RAW image itself does not 
change, you can process the RAW image according to different 
conditions to create any number of JPEG images from it.
With all RAW images, you can use Dig ital Photo Professional (provided 
software, p.456) to make various adjustments and then generate a 
JPEG, TIFF, etc., image incorporating those adjustments.
RAW Images
  If you select both RAW and JPEG,  the same image will be recorded 
simultaneously to the card in  both RAW and JPEG at the image-
recording qualities that were set. Th e two images will be recorded with 
the same file numbers (file extens ion: .JPG for JPEG and .CR2 for 
RAW).
  The image-recording qualit y icons are as follows: 1 (RAW),  41 
(Middle RAW),  61 (Small RAW), JPEG, 7  (Fine), 8 (Normal),  3 
(Large),  4 (Middle),  6 (Small).
 To display RAW images on a comput er, using the provided software is 
recommended (p.456).
  Commercially-available software ma y not be able to display RAW 
images taken by the camera. For de tails on commercially-available 
software, contact the  software manufacturer.

3 Setting the Image-Recording Quality
The approximate maximum burst is 
displayed on the bottom right in the 
viewfinder and on the shooting function 
settings screen.
If the maximum burst for continuous 
shooting is 99 or higher, “99” will be 
displayed.
Maximum Burst During Continuous Shooting
The maximum burst is disp layed even when a card is not inserted in the 
camera. Make sure  that a card is inserted  before taking a picture.
If the maximum burst is displayed as “99”, it indicates that you can shoot 99 
or more shots continuously . If the maximum burst decreases to 98 or lower 
and the internal buffer  memory becomes full, “ buSY” will be displayed in the 
viewfinder and on th e LCD panel. Shooting will th en be disabled temporarily. 
If you stop continuous shooting, the  maximum burst will increase. After all 
the captured images are written to the card, you can resume continuous 
shooting and shoot up  to the maximum burst listed  in the table on page 117.
