3 Setting the Image-Recording Quality
1 is the raw image data before it is made into  73 or other images. 
1  images cannot be viewed on a computer without the use of EOS 
software, such as Digital Photo Prof essional (p.314). However, you can 
perform various adjustments on them that are impossible with other 
image types such as  73. 1 is effective when you want to precisely 
adjust the image yourself or shoot an important subject.
1 +73  records a  1 image and a  73 image with a single shot. The 
two images are saved to the card si multaneously. The two images will 
be saved in the same folder with the same file numbers (file extension 
.JPG for JPEG and .CR2 for RAW). 73  images can be viewed or 
printed even with a computer which does not have the EOS software 
installed.

i: Changing the ISO Speed to Suit the Light Level N
If the ISO speed is set to [AUTO], the 
actual ISO speed setting will be 
displayed when you press the shutter 
button halfway. As indicated on the next 
page, the ISO speed will be set 
automatically to suit the shooting mode.
ISO [AUTO]
 When you shoot at high ISO speeds,  noise (such as dots of light and 
banding) may become noticeable.
 If you use a high ISO speed and fl ash to shoot a close subject, 
overexposure may result.
 As “ H” (equivalent to ISO 12800) is an expanded ISO speed setting, 
noise (such as dots of light and banding) and irregular colors will be more 
noticeable, and the resolution will be lower than usual.

*1: Depends on the maximum ISO speed limit set.
*2: If fill-in flash will cause overexposure, ISO speed may be reduced, down to a 
possible minimum of ISO 100.
*3: If bounce flash is used with an external Speedlite in a Basic Zone (except  ) mode or < d>, ISO 800 - ISO 1600 (or up to the maximum limit) will be 
set automatically.
*4: Fixed at ISO 400 in < P> mode. If bounce flash is used with an external 
Speedlite in < P> mode, ISO 400 - ISO 1600 will be set automatically.
*5: Fixed at ISO 400 if the maximum limit is ISO 400.
For ISO Auto, you can set the maximum ISO speed limit within ISO 400 -

3  Setting the Maximum  ISO Speed for [AUTO]N
When [ AUTO] is set, the ISO speed is indicated in whole-stop 
increments. However, the ISO speed is actually set in finer increments. 
Therefore, in the image’s shooting information (p.232), you may find an 
ISO speed such as ISO 125 or ISO  640 displayed as the ISO speed.
 In the < 2> mode, an ISO speed other than ISO 100 may be displayed, 
but the actual ISO speed used is the one shown in the table above.

This AF operation is suited for moving subjects when the focusing 
distance keeps changing. While you hold down the shutter button 
halfway, the camera will keep focusing on the subject 
continuously.
The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.
 When the AF point selection (p.99) is automatic, the camera first 
uses the center AF point to focus.  During autofocusing, if the subject 
moves away from the center AF po int, focus tracking continues as 
long as the subject is covered by another AF point.
AI Focus AF switches the AF operation from One-Shot AF to AI 
Servo AF automatically if a still subject starts moving.
 After the subject is focused in O ne-Shot AF, if the subject starts 
moving, the camera will detect the movement, change the AF 
operation automatically to AI Servo AF, and start tracking the moving 
subject.
AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects
AI Focus AF for Switching the AF Operation Automatically
 If focus cannot be achiev ed, the focus indicator  in the viewfinder 
will blink. If this occurs, the pictur e cannot be taken even if the shutter 
button is pressed completely. Recompose the shot and try to focus 
again, or see “Subjects Difficult to Focus on” (p.101).
 If [z 1: Beep ] is set to [ Disable], the beeper will not sound when focus 
is achieved.
With AI Servo AF, the beeper will not sound even when focus is achieved. 
Also, the focus indicator < o> in the viewfinder will not light up.
When focus is achieved in the AI Focus AF operation with the Servo mode 
active, the beeper will sound softly. However, the focus indicator < o> in the 
viewfinder will not light up. Note that fo cus will not be locked in this case.

In Basic Zone modes, the camera will normally focus on the closest 
subject automatically. Therefore, it may not always focus on your target 
subject.
In the < d>, < s>, < f>, and < a> modes, you can select one AF 
point and focus only on the area covered by that AF point.
1Press the  button (9).
 The selected AF point will be 
displayed on the LCD monitor and in 
the viewfinder.

the AF point.
 While looking through the viewfinder, 
you can select the AF point by turning 
the < 6> dial until the desired AF 
point lights up in red.
 When all the AF points light up, 
automatic AF point selection will be 
set. The AF point will be selected 
automatically to focus on the subject.
 Pressing < 0> toggles the AF point 
selection between the center AF point 
and automatic AF point selection.

When shooting a portrait up close, use One-Shot AF and focus 
on the eyes.
If you focus on the eyes first, you can then recompose and the face 
will remain sharp.
 If it is difficult to focus, sel ect and use the center AF point.
The center AF point is the most sensitive among the nine AF points.
 To make it easier to focus on a moving subject, set the camera 
to automatic AF point selection and AI Servo AF  (p.98).
The center AF point will first be  used to focus on the subject. During 
autofocusing, if the subject moves away from the center AF point, 
focus tracking continues as long as the subject is covered by 
another AF point.
Under low-light conditions, when you  press the shutter button halfway, 
the built-in flash may fire a brief bur st of flashes. This illuminates the 
subject to help autofocusing.
Shooting Tips
AF-Assist Beam with  the Built-in Flash
AF-assist beam will not be emitted from the built-in flash in < 7>, < 3>, 
or < 5> mode, or when [ Built-in flash firing] is set to  in < C> or 
< P> mode.
 The AF-assist beam will not be emitted with AI Servo AF operation.
 The effective range of the AF-assist beam emitted by the built-in flash is 
approx. 4 meters / 13.1 feet.
 In Creative Zone modes, when you raise the built-in flash with the < I> 
button (p.104), the AF-assist beam will be emitted when necessary. Note 
that depending on the setting for [ 7: AF-assist beam firing] under [53: 
Custom Functions (C.Fn)], AF-assist beam will not be emitted (p.264).
If you use an Extender (sold separately) and the maximum aperture 
becomes higher than f/5.6, AF shooting will not be possible (except in 
[ FlexiZone - Single ] and [u Live mode ] during Live View shooting). For 
details, refer to the Extender’s instruction manual.
