279 You can connect any EOS accessory equipped with an N3-type terminal such as the Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer Remote Controller TC- 80N3 (each sold separately) to shoot with the camera (p.525). 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 it out. Using a Remote Switch R Remote Control Shooting With Remote Controller RC-6 (sold separately), you can shoot remotely up to approx. 5 meters/16.4 feet away from the camera (when you are facing the front of the camera). You can either shoot immediately or with a 2-sec. delay. 1Focus on the subject. 2Set the lens’s fo cus mode switch to . You can also shoot with < f>. 3Press the < o> button (9 ).
R Remote Control Shooting 280 4Select the self-timer/remote controller. Look at the LCD panel or in the viewfinder and turn the < 5> dial to select < Q> or < k>. 5Press the remote controller’s transmit button. Point the remote controller toward the camera’s remote control sensor, then press the transmit button. X The self-timer lamp lights up and the picture is taken. Remote control sensor 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 malfunction by triggering the shutter inadvertently. Do not expose the remote control sensor to flash light from a flash on another camera. You can also use Remote Controller RC-1 and RC-5. Remote control shooting is also possible with devices such as an EX- series Speedlite equipped with a remote-release function (sold separately).
281 With the interval timer, you can set the shooting interval and the number of shots. The camera will repeat taking one shot with the set interval until the set number of shots are taken. 1Select [Interval timer].

If you set [ 00], the camera will keep shooting until you stop the interval timer. H Interval Timer Shooting

X 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. Shooting interval Number of shots Interval timer Using a tripod is recommended. Taking test shots in advance is recommended. After the interval timer shooting starts, you can still press the shutter button completely to take a picture as usual. However, approx. 5 sec. before the next interval timer shoot ing, the shooting function settings, menu operation, image playback, and other operations will be suspended, and the camera will be ready to shoot. If a picture is being taken or an image is being processed when the next shot is scheduled on the interval time r, the shot set for that time will be skipped. The camera will thereby shoot fewer shots than the number set for interval timer shooting. 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 also be combined with AEB, WB bracketing, multiple exposures, and HDR mode. You can stop the interval timer shooting by selecting [ Disable] or turning the power switch to < 2>.
283 H Interval Timer Shooting 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 the lens’s focus mode switch is set to < AF>, the camera will not shoot when focus is not achieved. Setting it to < MF> and focusing manually is recommended. Live View shooting, movie shooting, or bulb exposures cannot be performed with interval timer. For prolonged interval timer shooting, using the household power outlet accessories (sold separately, p.530) is recommended. If a shutter speed longer than the sh ooting interval, such as a long exposure, is set, the camera cannot shoot with the set interval. The camera will thereby shoot fewer still photos than the number set for interval timer shooting. Also, the number of shots may decrease when the shutter speed and the shooting interval are nearly the same. If the image recording time on the card is longer than the set shooting interval due to the shooting functions set, card performance, etc., some of the shots may not be taken with the set intervals. If you use flash with interval timer shooting, set an interval longer than the flash’s recycling time. If the inte rval is too short, the flash may not fire. If the shooting interval is too short, the camera may not take a picture or may capture an image without autofocusing. Interval timer shooting will be canceled and reset to [ Disable] if you do any of the following: Set the power switch to < 2>, display the Live View shooting or movie shooting screen, set the shooting mode to < F>, < w >, < x>, or < y>, or use EOS Utility (EOS software, p.598). After interval timer shooting starts, you cannot use remote control shooting (p.279) or remote-release shooting with an EOS-dedicated, external Speedlite. If your eye will not remain on the viewfinder eyepiece during interval timer shooting, attach the eyepiece cover (p.278). If stray light enters the viewfinder when the picture is take n, it may throw off the exposure.
285 7 Flash Photography This chapter explains how to shoot with external EX- series Speedlites (sold separately) and how to set Speedlite settings on the camera’s menu screen.
286 Using an EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) makes flash photography easy. For detailed instructions, refer to the EX-series Speedlite’s Instruction Manual. This camera is a Type-A camera that can use all the features of EX-series Speedlites. To set the flash functions and flash Custom Functions on the camera’s menu screen, see pages 289-295. Flash exposure compensation In the same way as normal exposure compensation, flash output can be adjusted. You can set flash exposure compensation up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments. Press the camera’s < m> button, then turn the < 5> dial while looking in the viewfinder or at the LCD panel. FE lock This enables you to attain an appropriate flash exposure for a specific part of the subject. Ai m the viewfinder center over the subject, press the camera’s < B> button, then compose the shot and take the picture. D Flash Photography EOS-dedicated, EX- series Speedlites Macro Lites Shoe-mount Speedlites
287 D Flash Photography With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set to A-TTL or TTL autoflash mode, the flash can be fired at full output only. Set the camera’s shooting mode to < a> manual exposure or < f > aperture-priority AE and adjust the aperture setting before shooting. When using a Speedlite that has manual flash mode, shoot in the manual flash mode. Canon Speedlites Other Than the EX-series If [z 2: Auto Lighting Optimizer ] (p.201) is set to any setting other than [ Disable ], the image may still look bright even if a decreased flash exposure compensation for a darker image is set. If it is difficult to achieve focus with autofocus, the EOS-dedicated, external Speedlite will automatically emit the AF-assist beam as necessary.
D Flash Photography 288 Sync Speed The camera can synchronize with non-Canon compact flash units at 1/200 sec. and slower speeds. With large studio flash units, the flash duration is longer than that of a compact flash unit and varies depending on the model. Be sure to check before shooting if flash sync is properly performed by test shooting at a sync speed of approx. 1/60 sec. to 1/30 sec. PC Terminal The camera’s PC terminal can be used with flash units having a sync cord. The terminal has locking threads to prevent the cord from falling off. The camera’s PC terminal has no polarity. You can connect any sync cord regardless of its polarity. Cautions for Live View Shooting If you use a non-Canon flash unit with Live View shooting, set [ z6: Silent LV shoot. ] to [Disable ] (p.312). The flash will not be fired if it is set to [ Mode 1] or [Mode 2 ]. Non-Canon Flash Units If the camera is used with a flash unit or flash accessory dedicated to another camera brand, the camera may not operate properly and malfunction may result. Do not connect to the camera’s PC terminal any flash unit with an output voltage of 250 V or more. Do not attach a high-voltage flash unit to the camera’s hot shoe. It may not be fired. A flash unit attached to the camera’s hot shoe and a flash unit connected to the PC terminal can both be used at the same time.
