The range of reproducible colors is called the color space. With this 
camera, you can set the color space to sRGB or Adobe RGB for 
captured images. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended.
In Basic Zone modes, sRGB is set automatically.
1Select [Color space].
 Under the [ 2] tab, select [Color 
space ], then press < 0>.
2Set the desired color space.
  Select [ sRGB] or [Adobe RGB ], then 
press < 0>.
This color space is mainly used for commercial printing and other 
industrial uses. This setting is not  recommended if you do not know 
about image processing, Adobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File 
System 2.0 (Exif 2.21).
The image will look very subdued  in a sRGB personal computer 
environment and with printers not co mpatible with Design rule for 
Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21). Post-processing of the image with \
software will therefore be required.
3 Setting the Color Reproduction RangeN
About Adobe RGB
  If the image is captured  with the color space set  to Adobe RGB, the file 
name will start with “_MG_” (fir st character is an underscore).
 
The ICC profile is not appended. See explanations about the ICC profile 
in the Software Instruction Manual (p.304) in the CD-ROM.

The camera’s mechanical shake caused by the reflex mirror action can 
blur images taken with a super teleph oto lens or close-up (macro) lens. 
In such cases, mirror  lockup is effective.
Mirror lockup is enabled by setting  [8: Mirror lockup] to [1: Enable] 
in the [7 Custom Functions (C.Fn) ] (p.255).
1Focus the subject, then press the shutter button completely.
XThe mirror will swing up.
2Press the shutter button completely again.
XThe picture is taken and the mirror goes back down.
  After taking the picture, set [ 8: Mirror lockup] to [0: Disable ].
  Using the self-timer < Q>  with mirror lockup.
When you press the shutter button completely, the mirror locks up, 
then the picture is taken 10 sec. or 2 sec. later.
  Remote control shooting.
Since you do not touch the camera when the picture is taken, remote 
control shooting together with mirror lockup can further prevent 
camera shake (p.261). With Re mote Controller RC-6 (sold 
separately) set to a 2-sec. delay, press the transmit button and the 
mirror will lockup before the pi cture is taken 2 sec. later.
Mirror Lock-up to Reduce Camera Shake N
Shooting Tips
 In very bright light such  as at the beach or a sk i slope on a sunny day, 
take the picture prompt ly after mirror lockup.
  Do not point the camera toward the su n. The sun’s heat can damage the 
camera’s internal components.
 
If you use the self-timer and  mirror lockup in combination with a bulb exposure, 
keep pressing the shutter  button completely (self-timer delay time + bulb 
exposure time). If you le t go of the shutter button during the self-timer 
countdown, there will be a  shutter-release sound, but  no picture will be taken.
 Even if  (Continuous shooting) has been set, single shooting will take effect. If 30 seconds elapse after the mirror  has locked up, it will go back down 
automatically. Pressing the  shutter button completely again locks up the 
mirror again.

Shooting with the LCD Monitor(Live View Shooting)
You can shoot while viewing  the image on the camera’s 
LCD monitor. This is called “Live View shooting”.
Live View shooting is effective for still subjects which do 
not move.
If you handhold the camera and shoot while viewing the 
LCD monitor, camera shake  can cause blurred images. 
Using a tripod is recommended.
About Remote Live View ShootingWith EOS Utility (provided softwa re, p.302) installed in your 
computer, you can connect the ca mera to the computer and shoot 
remotely while viewin g the computer screen. For details, see the 
Software Instruction Manual (p.304) in the CD-ROM.

will be taken.
  If the camera is not operated for a  prolonged period, the power will turn 
off automatically as set with [ 5 Auto power off ] (p.167). If [5 Auto 
power off] is set to [ Off], the Live View function will terminate 
automatically after 30 min.  (camera power remains on).
