Exposure simulationN
Exposure simulation simulates and displays how the brightness 
(exposure) of the actual image will look.
•Enable (g)
The displayed image brightness will be close to the actual 
brightness (exposure) of the re sulting image. If you set exposure 
compensation, the image brightne ss will change accordingly.
• During e (E/g)Normally, the image is displayed at the standard brightness to 
make the Live View image easy to see (
E). The image will be 
displayed with a brightness (exposur e) close to that of the actual 
image to be captured only while you hold down the depth-of-field 
preview button (
g).
• Disable (E)
The image is displayed at the  standard brightness to make the 
Live View image easy to see. Even if you set exposure

Silent LV shootingN
•Mode 1When shooting, you can suppr ess the mechanical sound more 
than with viewfinder shooting. Continuous shooting is also 
possible. If <
o> is set, you can shoot at a maximum continuous 
shooting speed of approx. 7.0 fps.
•Mode 2
When the shutter button is pressed  completely, only one shot will 
be taken. While you are holding down the shutter button, the 
camera operation will be suspended. Then when you return to the 
shutter button’s halfway position, the camera operation will resume.
The shooting noise is thereby mi nimized. Even if continuous 
shooting is set, only a single shot will be taken.
• Disable
Be sure to set it to [Disable] if you use a TS-E lens (other than 
those listed in  ) 
for shifting or tilting the lens or if you use an 
Extension Tube. If [Mode 1] or [Mode 2] is set, the standard 
exposure may not be obtained, or an irregular exposure may result.
 Between [ Mode 1] and [Disable ], the internal operation alone is different 
between the single drive mode an d the first shot during continuous 
shooting. Continuous shooting with [ Mode 1] will have the same 
mechanical sound as the [ Disable] setting for the second and 
subsequent shots.
 When shooting with flash, the [ Disable] setting will be applied regardless 
of the [ Silent LV shoot. ] setting. (You cannot suppress the mechanical 
sound when shooting.)
 When using a non-Canon flash unit, set it to [ Disable]. The flash will not 
fire if it is set to [ Mode 1] or [Mode 2 ].
 If [Mode 2 ] is set and you use a Remote Controller (p.221), the operation 
will be the same as with [ Mode 1].

K: Servo AF
Suited for still subjects. When you press the shutter button 
halfway, the camera will focus only once.
When focus is achieved, the AF po int will turn green and the beeper 
will sound.
While you hold down the shutter bu tton halfway, the focus will be

Selecting the AF Operation N
One-Shot AF for Still Subjects
If focus cannot be achieved, the AF point will turn orange. If this occurs, the 
picture cannot be taken even if the s hutter button is pressed completely. 
Recompose the shot and try to focus again. Or see “Shooting Conditions 
that Make Focusing Difficult” (p.284).
If [ z 1: Beep ] is set to [ Disable], the beeper will not sound when focus is 
achieved.

Selecting the AF OperationN
This AF operation is suited for moving subjects. While you hold 
down the shutter button halfway, the camera will keep focusing on 
the subject continuously.
If the drive mode is set to hi gh-speed continuous shooting, the 
maximum speed will be approx. 5.0 fps. The pictures will be taken 
with priority given to  the continuous shooting speed.
If the drive mode is set to lo w-speed continuous shooting, the 
maximum speed will be approx. 3.0 fps. The pictures will be taken 
with priority given to subject tracking.
For flash photography, the contin uous shooting speed will become 
slower.
When focus is achieved, the AF point will turn blue. The beeper will 
not sound in this case.
The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.
Depending on the lens used, the di stance to the subject, and the 
subject’s speed, the camera may not  be able to achieve correct 
focus.
If you operate the zoom during continuous shooting, the focus may 
be lost. Shoot after using the zoom to obtain the desired 
composition.
Servo AF for Moving Subjects
 With [Servo AF], the image quality can be set to  1 or JPEG. If 41  
or  61  is set, the image will be recorded in  1 quality.
 When [ Servo AF ] is set and Multi Shot Noise Reduction is set, [ High ISO 
speed NR ] will automatically switch to [ Standard]. 
						

							276
You can select an AF method to suit the shooting conditions and your 
subject. The following AF methods are provided: [
u(face)+Tracking] 
(p.277), [FlexiZone - Multi] (p.279), and [FlexiZone - Single] (p.281).
If you want to achieve precise focus, set the lens’s focus mode switch to 
, magnify the image, and focus manually (p.288).

Focusing with AF (AF Method)
Selecting the AF Method
 You can also set the AF method with [z 5: AF method] (the [z3] tab in 
Basic Zone modes).
 The procedures on pages 277-282 assume that One-Shot AF is set. If 
Servo AF is set, the AF point will  turn blue when focus is achieved. The 
beeper will not sound in this case (p.274).
 In the < 8: 5C > modes, Servo AF is set automatically and when 
focus is achieved, the AF point will turn blue and the beeper will sound.

Focusing with AF (AF Method)
The camera detects and focuses on human faces. If a face moves, the AF point  also moves to track the face.
1Display the Live View image.
Press the  button.The Live View image will appear on 
the LCD monitor.
2Check the AF point.
When a face is detected, the area 
frame and the  frame will appear 
on the face for focusing.
If multiple faces are detected,  
will be displayed. Use the  to 
move the  frame over the face 
you want to focus on.
You can also tap on the LCD monitor 
screen to select the face or subject. If 
the subject is not a face, <
z> will be 
displayed.
3Focus on the subject.
Press the shutter button halfway to focus.If no faces can be detected or if you 
do not tap on the LCD monitor, the 
camera will switch to FlexiZone - 
Multi with automatic selection (p.279).
When focus is achieved, the AF point will 
turn green and the beeper will sound.
If focus is not achieved, the AF point 
will turn orange.

Focusing on a subject other than a human face
Press  or  and the AF frame  will appear at the 
screen’s center. Then use  to move the AF frame over the 
desired subject. Once the AF frame <
z> achieves focus,  it will track 
the subject even if the subjec t moves or if you change the 
composition.
 If the subject’s face is significantly out  of focus, face detection will not be 
possible. Adjust the focus manually (p.288) so that the face can be 
detected, then perform AF.
 An object other than a human face may be detected as a face.
 Face detection will not work if the face is very small or large in the 
picture, too bright or too dark, or partially hidden.
 The  may cover only a part of the face.
Use the area frame as a guide, and focus within the area frame.
 The size of the AF frame changes depending on the subject.
