Using AF to Focus (AF Method)
 If focus is not achieved  with the shooting cond itions on the preceding 
page, set the lens focu s mode switch to  and focus manually.
  If you use AF with any of  the following lenses, using [ Quick mode] is 
recommended. Autofocusing with [ u+Tracking ], [FlexiZone - Multi ] or 
[ FlexiZone - Single ] may take longer or co rrect focus may not be 
achieved.
EF50mm f/1.4 USM, EF50mm f/1.8 II , EF50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro, 
EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 III, EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM
For information on discontinued lenses, refer to your local Canon Web site.
  If you shoot a peripheral subject and it is slightly  out of focus, aim the 
center AF point or zone  over the subject to focus, focus again and then 
take the picture.
  The AF-assist beam will not be em itted. However, if an EX-series 
Speedlite (sold separately) equipped  with an LED light is used, the LED 
light will turn on for  AF-assist when necessary.
  In magnified view, the higher the  magnification, the more difficult 
focusing will be because of camera  shake during handheld shooting (as 
well as when the lens focus  mode switch is set to ). Using a tripod 
is recommended.

Live View Shooting Cautions
Image Quality When you shoot at high ISO speeds,  noise (such as dots of light and 
banding) may become noticeable.
 
Shooting in high temperatures  may cause noise and irregular colors in the image. If Live View shooting is used contin uously for a long period, the camera’s 
internal temperature may rise, an d image quality may deteriorate. 
Always exit Live View shooting  when you are not shooting.
  If you shoot a long expo sure while the camera’s internal temperature is 
high, image quality may det eriorate. Exit Live View shooting and wait a 
few minutes before shooting again.
White < s> and Red < E> Internal Temperature Warning Icons If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged Li ve View shooting 
or under a high ambient temperature, a white  or red  icon will appear.  The white < s> icon indicates that the image  quality of still photos will 
deteriorate. You should exit Live Vi ew shooting and allow the camera’s 
internal temperature to co ol before shooting again.
  The red < E> icon indicates that the Live  View shooting will soon stop 
automatically. If this happens, you will  not be able to shoot again until the 
camera’s internal temperat ure decreases. Exit Live View shooting or turn 
off the power and let the  camera rest for a while.
  Using Live View shooting at a high  temperature for a prolonged period 
will cause the < s> or < E> icon to appear earlie r. When you are not 
shooting, turn off the camera.
 
If the camera’s internal temperature is high , the image quality of high ISO speed images 
or long exposures may deteriorate even before the white  icon is displayed.
Shooting Result If you take the picture in  magnified view, the exposu re may not come out as 
desired. Return to the normal view befor e taking the picture. In magnified view, 
the shutter speed and aperture  will be displayed in orange. Even if you take the 
picture in magnified view , the image will be captur ed in the normal view range.
 If [z 2: Auto Lighti ng Optimizer] (p.130) is set to other than [ Disable], 
the image may look bright even if  a decreased exposure compensation 
or decreased flash exposure compensation is set.
  If you use a TS-E lens (except  the TS-E17mm f/4L or TS-E24mm f/3.5L 
II) and shift or tilt the lens or  use an Extension Tube, the standard 
exposure may not be obtained or  an irregular exposure may result.

Live View Shooting Cautions
Live View Image Under low- or bright-light  conditions, the Live View image may not reflect 
the brightness of the captured image.
  Even if a low ISO speed  is set, noise may be noticeable in the displayed 
Live View image under low light. Ho wever, when you shoot, the image 
recorded will have minimal noise. (T he image quality of the Live View 
image is different from t hat of the recorded image.)
  If the light source (illumination) wi thin the image changes, the screen 
may flicker. If this happens , exit Live View shooting and resume shooting 
under the actual light source.
  If you point the camera in  a different direction, it may throw off the Live 
View image’s correct brightness mo mentarily. Wait until the brightness 
level stabilizes be fore shooting.
  If there is a very bright  light source in the pict ure, the bright area may 
appear black on the LCD monitor. Ho wever, the actual captured image 
will correctly show the bright area.
  In low light, if you set the [ 52: LCD brightness ] to a bright setting, noise 
or irregular colors may appear in the Live View image. However, the 
noise or irregular colors  will not be recorded in the captured image.
  When you magnify the image, the image sharpness may look more 
pronounced than in the actual image.
Custom Functions During Live View shooting, some Cust om Function settings will not take 
effect (p.299).
Lens and Flash  The focus preset function  is possible for Live View shooting only when 
using a (super) telephoto lens equi pped with the focus preset mode, 
available since the second half of 2011.
  FE lock is not possible when the built -in flash or an external Speedlite is 
used. Modeling flash will not wo rk with an external Speedlite.
Do not hold the camera in the same  posture for long periods of times. 
Even if the camera does not feel to o hot, prolonged contact with the same 
body part may cause skin redness, b listering or low-temperature contact 
burns. The use of a trip od is recommended for pe ople with circulation 
problems or very sensit ive skin, or when using  the camera in very hot 
places.
