Troubleshooting Guide
If you shoot at night when the background is dark, the shutter speed 
automatically becomes slow (slow-sync shooting) so that both the 
subject and background are properly exposed. To prevent a slow 
shutter speed, under [ 53: Custom Functions (C.Fn) ], set [3: Flash 
sync. speed in Av mode] to [ 1: 1/200-1/60sec. auto] or [2: 1/200sec. 
(fixed)] (p.261).
 In shooting modes (< A>    ) whose default 
setting is < a> (built-in flash auto firing), the built-in flash will be raised 
automatically when necessary.
 If you use the built-in flash too often in too short a period of time, the 
flash may stop firing for a while to protect the light-emitting unit.
 If you use a flash unit other than an EX-series Speedlite, the flash will 
always be fired at full output (p.273).
 Under [ z1: Flash control ], if [Flash metering mode] in [External 
flash C.Fn setting ] is set to [TTL], the flash will always fire at full 
output (p.201).
 If flash exposure compensation is set with the external Speedlite, flash 
exposure compensation cannot be set with the camera. When the 
external Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation is canceled (set to 
0), flash exposure compensation can be set with the camera.
When I use the < f> mode with flash, the shutter 
speed becomes slow.
The built-in flash rises by itself.
The built-in flash does not fire.
The external flash always  fires at full output.
Flash exposure compensat ion cannot be set for 
the external Speedlite.

Under [ 53: Custom Functions (C.Fn) ], set [3: Flash sync. speed in 
Av mode ] to [0: Auto ] (p.261).
 The built-in flash’s pop-up mechanism moves slightly. This is normal 
and not a malfunction.
 If you use flash, the shutter will make two sounds each time you shoot 
(p.141).
 It indicates that the camera’s internal temperature is high. If the white 
 icon is displayed, the still photo’s image quality may deteriorate. 
If the red < E> icon is displayed, it indicates that the Live View 
shooting will soon stop automatically (p.157).
 It indicates that the camera’s internal temperature is high. If the red 
 icon is displayed, it indicates that the movie shooting will soon 
stop automatically (p.181).
 If the card’s writing speed is slow, movie shooting may stop 
automatically. Use an SD Speed Class 6 “ ” or faster card. To 
find out the card’s reading/writing speed, refer to the card 
manufacturer’s Web site, etc.
 If a movie clip’s file size reaches 4 GB or the shooting length reaches 
29 min. 59 sec., the movie shooting will stop automatically.
High-speed sync cannot be set in the < f> mode.
The camera makes a noise when it is shaken.
The shutter makes two shooting sounds during Live View shooting.
During Live View sh ooting, a white  or red 
< E > icon is displayed.
During movie shooting, a red  E icon is displayed.
Movie shooting stops by itself.

Troubleshooting Guide
If [k 1: Movie exposure ] is set to [Auto], the ISO speed will be set 
automatically. If [Manual ] is set, you can set the ISO speed manually 
(p.162).
 If you change the shutter speed or aperture during movie shooting, the 
changes in the exposure may be recorded.
 Zooming the lens during movie shooting can cause changes in the 
exposure regardless of whether the lens’s maximum aperture changes 
or not. The changes in the exposure may be recorded as a result.
 If you move the camera to the left or right quickly (high-speed panning) 
or shoot a moving subject, the image may look distorted.
 Flickering, horizontal stripes (noise), or irregular exposures can be 
caused by fluorescent lighting, LED lighting, or other light sources 
during movie shooting. Also, changes in the exposure (brightness) or 
color tone may be recorded. With manual exposure, a slow shutter 
speed may solve the problem.
 If the camera is connected to a computer, printer, GPS receiver, TV 
set, or other device with a cable, Wi-Fi cannot be set ([ 53: Wi-Fi/NFC ] 
will be grayed out). Disconnect the cable before changing any settings.
 Refer to the Wireless Function Instruction Manual.
The ISO speed cannot be  set for movie shooting.
The exposure changes during movie shooting.
The subject looks distorte d during movie shooting.
The image flickers or horizontal stripes appear during movie shooting.
Wireless Functions
Wi-Fi cannot be set.

In Basic Zone modes and in movie shooting mode, certain tabs and 
menu options are not displayed. Set the shooting mode to a Creative 
Zone mode (p.50).
 Set the color space to sRGB. If Adobe RGB is set, the first character 
will be an underscore (p.137).
 It is a movie file (p.189).
 If the card already contains recorded images, the image number may 
not start from 0001 (p.188).
 Check that the correct date and time are set (p.41).
 Check the time zone and daylight saving time (p.41).
 The shooting date and time do not appear in the picture. The date and 
time are instead recorded in the image data as shooting information. 
When printing, you can imprint the date and time in the picture, using 
the date and time recorded in the shooting information (p.247).
 If the number of images recorded on the card exceeds the number the 
camera can display, [ ###] will be displayed (p.213).
Display Problems
The menu screen shows fewer tabs and options.
The file name’s first charact er is an underscore (“_”).
The file name starts with “MVI_”.
The file numbering does not start from 0001.
The shooting date and time displayed is incorrect.
The date and time are not in the picture.

If the LCD monitor is dirty, use a soft cloth to clean it.
 In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow 
or may look black. It will return to normal at room temperature.
 [Eye-Fi settings] will appear only when an Eye-Fi card is inserted in 
the camera. If the Eye-Fi card has a write-protect switch set to the 
LOCK position, you will not be able to check the card’s connection 
status or disable Eye-Fi transmission (p.274).
 It is the highlight alert (p.234). Overexposed areas with clipped 
highlight will blink.

During autoexposure movie shooting, if there is a drastic change in the 
exposure level, the recording will stop momentarily until the brightness 
stabilizes. In such cases, shoot movies with manual exposure (p.162).
 An HDMI cable (sold separately) is necessary to connect the camera 
to a TV set. Using the HDMI Cable HTC-100 (sold separately) is 
recommended (p.226).
 Also check that your TV set has an HDMI IN terminal. If the TV set 
does not have an HDMI IN terminal and has only an A/V IN jack, the 
camera cannot be connected.
 Check that the HDMI cable’s plug is inserted all the way in (p.226).
 If [53: Wi-Fi/NFC ] is set to [Enable], the camera cannot be connected 
to a TV set. Set [ Wi-Fi/NFC] to [Disable ], then reconnect the camera 
to the TV set with an HDMI cable.
 Depending on the card reader and computer OS used, SDXC cards 
may not be correctly recognized. In such a case, connect your camera 
to the computer with the interface cable, then transfer the images to 
your computer using EOS Utility (EOS software, p.314).
 JPEG  c and RAW images cannot be resized with the camera 
(p.239).
The movie has still moments.
I cannot connect the ca mera to my TV set.
No picture on the TV set.
My card reader does no t recognize the card.
