  The approx. 7.0 shots/sec. maximu m high-speed continuous shooting 
speed < o> (p.160) is achieved under the following conditions: Fully 
charged battery pack, 1/500 sec. or faster shutter speed, maximum 
aperture (varies depending on the lens)*, at room temperature (23°C / 
73°F), flicker reduction disabled, Dual Pixel RAW shooting disabled, Live 
View shooting with One Shot AF and Silent LV shooting both disabled, 
and Digital Lens Optimizer disabled.
* 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, EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM.
  The continuous shooting speed for < o> high-speed continuous 
shooting may become slower depending on the power source type, 
battery level, temperature, flicker reduction, Dual Pixel RAW shooting, 
Digital Lens Optimizer, shutter speed, aperture, subject conditions, 
brightness, AF operation, lens, flash use, shooting function settings, etc.
  With [ z4: Anti-flicker shoot. ] set to [Enable] (p.215), shooting under 
flickering light will decrease the maximum continuous shooting speed. 
Also, the continuous shooting interv al may become irregular and the time 
lag until the shot is taken may become longer.
  If [z 1: Dual Pixel RAW ] is set to [Enable] (p.175) and [ z1: Image-
recording quality ] is set to [
1] or [1+JPEG] (p.169), the maximum 
continuous shooting speed will decrease.
  For Live View shooting, if [ AF operation] is set to [Servo AF] (p.314), 
the maximum continuous shooting speed will decrease.
  If [Digital Lens Optimizer ] is set to [Enable] (p.210), the continuous 
shooting speed will greatly decrease.
  With AI Servo AF, the maximum cont inuous shooting speed may become 
slower depending on the subjec t conditions and the lens used.
  If the battery temperature is low due to a low ambient temperature or if 
the battery level is low, the maximum continuous shooting speed may 
decrease to approx. 6.0 shots/sec. with the LP-E6N, or to approx. 5.0 
shots/sec. with the LP-E6.
  If  or < M> is set, the time lag from when you press the shutter 
button completely until the shutter  is released will be longer than normal.
  When internal memory becomes full during continuous shooting, the 
continuous shooting speed may drop off because shooting will be 
temporarily disabled (p.174).

Use the self-timer when you want to be in the picture such as a commemorative photograph.
1Press the  button (9 ).
2Select the self-timer.
 While looking at the LCD panel or in 
the viewfinder, turn the < 5> dial.
Q : Shoot in approx. 10 sec.
k : Shoot in approx. 2 sec.
3Take the picture.
  Look through the viewfinder, focus on 
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 The lamp’s blinking will become 
faster approx. two seconds before the 
picture is taken.
j Using the Self-timer
  The < k> enables you to shoot while not touching the camera 
mounted on a tripod. This prevents camera vibration blur when you shoot 
still lifes or long exposures.
  After taking self-timer shots, playing back the image (p.394) to check 
focus and exposure is recommended.
  When using the self-timer to shoot yourself, use focus lock (p.97) on an 
object at the same distance as where you will stand.
  To cancel the self-timer, press the < o> button.
If you do not look through the viewfinder when you press the shutter button, 
attach the eyepiece cover (p.278). If stray light enters the viewfinder when 
the picture is taken, it may throw off the exposure.

  Auto switch card
Same as with the [ Standard] setting, but if the card becomes full, 
the camera will automatically switch to the other card to record 
images. When the card is automatically switched, a new folder will 
be created.
  Rec. separately
You can set the image-recording quality for each card (p.169). Each 
image is recorded to both the CF and SD cards at the image-
recording quality you set. You can freely set the image-recording 
quality, such as to  73 and  1, or c and  41 , etc.
  Rec. to multiple
Each image is recorded to both the CF and SD cards simultaneously 
at the same image-recording quality. You can also select 
RAW+JPEG.
  If [Rec. separately ] is set and different recording qualities are set for the 
CF card and SD card, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will 
decrease (p.171).
  Movies cannot be recorded simultaneously to the CF card and SD card. 
Movies will be recorded to the card set for [ Playback].
[Rec. separately] and [Rec. to multiple]
 The same file number is used for recording to both the CF card and SD 
card.
  The LCD panel will display the number of possible shots of the card 
having the lower number.
  If one of the cards becomes full, [ Card* full] will be displayed and 
shooting will be disabled. If this happens , either replace the card or set 
[ Record func. ] to [Standard ], and select the card with remaining 
capacity to continue shooting.
