You can shoot up to approx. 5 shots per second. This is effective for 
shooting a child running  toward you or capturing different facial 
expressions.
1Press the  button.
2Select < i>.
  Press the < U> key or turn the 
< 6 > dial to select < i> continuous 
shooting, then press .
3Take the picture.
 The camera shoots continuously 
while you hold down the shutter 
button completely.
  Also set the AF operation  (p.95) matching the subject.
• For a moving subject
When AI Servo AF is set, focusing will be continuous during 
continuous shooting.
• For still subjects
When One-Shot AF is set, the camera will focus only once during 
continuous shooting.
  Flash can also be used.
Since the flash will require recycl ing time, the continuous shooting 
speed will be slower.

i Continuous Shooting
  The maximum continuous shooting sp eed of approx. 5 shots per second 
is achieved* with a shutter speed of 1/500 sec.  or faster and at the 
maximum aperture (differs dependin g on the lens). The continuous 
shooting speed may decr ease due to shutter speed, aperture, subject 
conditions, brightness, lens, flash use, etc.
* With the following lenses, 5 shots  per second is achieved with One-
Shot AF and the Image Stabilizer  turned off: EF300mm f/4L IS USM, 
EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM, EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM, and 
EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM.
  In AI Servo AF operation, the cont inuous shooting speed may become 
slightly slower depending on  the subject and the lens used.
  When the battery level is low, the continuous  shooting speed will become 
slightly slower.

number of multiple shots (2 to 10) 
to be taken with the self-timer.
3Take the picture.
 Look through the viewfinde r, focus the subject, 
then press the shutter button completely.
XYou can check the self -timer operation with 
the self-timer lamp , beeper, and countdown 
display (in seconds) on the LCD monitor.
X Two seconds before the picture is 
taken, the self-timer lamp will light up 
and the beeper will sound faster.
j Using the Self-timer
  With < q>, the interval between the mu ltiple shots may be prolonged depending 
on the shooting functions settings such  as the image-recording quality or flash.
 If you do not look t hrough the viewfinder when  you press the shutter 
button, attach the eyepiece cover  (p.304). If stray light enters the 
viewfinder when the picture is tak en, it may throw off the exposure.
 After taking self-timer shots, play ing back the image (p.82) to check 
focus and exposure  is recommended.
  When using the self-timer to shoot only  yourself, use focus lock (p.61) on 
an object at about the same dist ance as where you will stand.
  To cancel the self-timer af ter it starts, press the  button.

D Using the Built-in Flash
 If the subject is far away, increase the ISO speed  (p.90).
By increasing the ISO speed,  you can extend the flash range.
  In bright light, decrease the ISO speed.
If the exposure setting in the viewfi nder blinks, decrease the ISO speed.
 Detach the lens hood and keep at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away 
from the subject.
If the lens has a hood attached or  you are too close to the subject, 
the bottom of the picture may look dark due to the obstructed flash. 
For important shots, check the im age on the LCD monitor to make 
sure the flash exposure looks natural (not dark at the bottom).
Using the red-eye reduction lamp  before taking a flash picture can 
reduce red eye.
Red-eye reduction will function  in any shooting mode except , 
, < 5>, or < G>.
 Under the [z 1] tab, select [Red-eye 
reduc. ], then press < 0>. Select 
[Enable ], then press < 0>.
 
For flash photography, when you press 
the shutter button halfway, the red-eye 
reduction lamp will light up. Then when 
you press the shutter button 
completely, the picture will be taken.
Shooting Tips
3  Red-eye Reduction
 The red-eye reduction feature is most  effective when the subject looks at 
the red-eye reduction lamp, when the  room is well lit, or when you are 
close to the subject.
  When you press the shut ter button halfway, the 
scale display on the botto m of the viewfinder will 
shrink and turn off. For bes t results, take the picture 
after this scale display turns off.
  The effectiveness of red-eye reductio n varies depending on the subject.

Advanced Shooting
This chapter builds on Chapter 3 and introduces more 
ways to shoot creatively.
  The first half of this chapte r explains how to use the < s>, 
< f >, and < a> modes on the Mode Dial.
  All the functions explained in C hapter 3 can also be used in 
the < s>, < f >, and < a> modes.
  To see which functions can be  used in each shooting mode, 
see page 310.
  The  M mark shown on the right of the page title indicates 
that the function is available only in Creative Zone modes 
(p.24).
The pointer icon  displayed 
together with the shutter speed, aperture 
setting, or exposure compensation 
amount indicates that you can turn the 
< 6 > dial to adjust the respective 
setting.

You can either freeze the action or create motion blur with the  
(Shutter-priority AE) mode on the Mode Dial.
* < s> stands for Time value.
1Set the Mode Dial to < s>.
2Set the desired shutter speed.
 See “Shooting Tips” for advice on 
setting the shutter speed.
  Turning the < 6> dial to the right 
sets a faster shutter speed, and 
turning it to the left sets a slower one.
3Take the picture.
  When you focus and press the 
shutter button completely, the picture 
will be taken at the selected shutter 
speed.
s : Convey the Subject’s Movement
Blurred motion
(Slow shutter speed: 1/30 sec.) Frozen action
(Fast shutter speed: 1/2000 sec.)
Shutter Speed Display
The LCD monitor displays  the shutter speed as a fraction. However, the 
viewfinder displays only the denominator. Also, “ 05” indicates 0.5 sec. and 
“ 15 ” is 15 sec.

							109
s: Convey the Subject’s Movement
 To freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject
Use a fast shutter speed such  as 1/4000 sec. to 1/500 sec.
  To blur a running child or animal and convey an impression of 
motion
Use a medium shutter speed such as  1/250 sec. to 1/30 sec. Follow 
the moving subject through the vi ewfinder and press the shutter 
button to take the picture. If you use a telephoto lens, hold it steady 
to prevent camera shake.
  To blur a flowing river or fountain
Use a slow shutter speed of 1/30 sec. or slower. Use a tripod to 
prevent hand-held camera shake.
 
Set the shutter speed so that th e aperture display does not blink.
If you press the shutter button halfway and change 
the shutter speed while the aperture is displayed, 
the aperture display will also change to maintain the 
same exposure (amount of light reaching the image 
sensor). If you exceed the adjustable aperture 
range, the aperture display will blink to indicate that 
the standard exposure cannot be obtained.
If the exposure will be too dark, the maximum aperture (smallest 
number) will blink. If this happens, turn the < 6> dial to the left to 
set a slower shutter speed  or increase the ISO speed.
If the exposure will be too bright,  the minimum aperture (highest 
number) will blink. If this happens, turn the < 6> dial to the right to 
set a faster shutter speed or decrease the ISO speed.
To obtain a correct flash expos ure, the flash output will be set 
automatically (autoflash exposure)  to match the automatically-set 
aperture. The shutter speed can be set from 1/200 sec. to 30 sec.

To blur the background or to make everything near and far look sharp, 
set the Mode Dial to  (Aperture-priority AE) to adjust the depth of 
field (range of acceptable focus).
*  stands for Aperture value,  which is the size of the diaphragm hole inside the lens.
1Set the Mode Dial to .
2Set the desired aperture.
 The higher the f/number, the wider 
the depth of field where sharper focus 
is obtained in both the foreground 
and background.
  Turning the < 6> dial to the right will 
set a higher f/number (smaller 
aperture opening), and turning it to 
the left will set a lower f/number 
(larger aperture opening).
3Take the picture.
  Focus and press the shutter button 
completely. The picture will be taken 
with the selected aperture.
f : Changing the Depth of Field
Sharp foreground and background
(With a high aperture f/number: f/32)Blurred background
(With a low aperture f/number: f/5.6)
Aperture Display
The higher the f/number,  the smaller the aperture opening will be. The 
apertures displayed will differ  depending on the lens. If no lens is attached to 
the camera, “ 00” will be displayed for the aperture.
