Creative Shooting
In the Basic Zone modes, to prevent spoiled shots, 
most advanced functions are set automatically and 
cannot be changed. In the < d> (Program AE) mode, 
you can set various functi ons and be more creative.
In the < d> mode, the camera sets the shutter speed and 
aperture automatically to obtain the standard exposure.
 The difference between the Basic Zone modes and < d> is 
explained on pages 276-277.
 The functions explained in this  chapter can also be used in 
the < s>, < f>, and < a> modes explained in Chapter 
4.
 The  M icon at the upper right of the page title indicates that 
the function is available only in Creative Zone modes 
(p.30). 
						

							86
The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture to suit 
the subject’s brightness. This is called Program AE.
* stands for Program.*AE  stands for Auto Exposure.
1Set the Mode Dial to < d>.
2Focus on the subject.
 Look through the viewfinder and aim 
the selected AF point over the 
subject. Then press the shutter button 
halfway.
 The dot inside the AF point achieving 
focus lights up briefly in red, and the 
focus indicator < o> on the 
viewfinder’s bottom right lights up (in 
One-Shot AF mode).
 The shutter speed and aperture will 
be set automatically and displayed in 
the viewfinder.

 The standard exposure will be 
obtained as long as the shutter speed 
and aperture display do not blink.
4Take the picture.

 Change the ISO speed. Use the built-in flash.
To match the subject and ambient  lighting level, you can change the 
ISO speed (p.92) or use the built-in flash (p.104). In the < d> mode, 
the built-in flash will not fire automatically. When indoors or during 
low light shooting, it is re commended that you press the < I> (flash) 
button to raise the built-in flash. (Y ou can also raise the built-in flash 
by selecting < s> with the Quick Control.)
 Change the program using Program shift.
After pressing the shutter button halfway, turn the < 6> dial to 
change the shutter speed and aperture setting combination 
(program). Program shift is cancel ed automatically after the picture 
is taken. Program shift is not possible with flash.
Shooting Tips
 If the “ 30” shutter speed and the lowest f/number 
blink, it indicates underexposure. Increase the ISO 
speed or use flash.
 If the “ 4000” shutter speed and the highest f/number 
blink, it indicates overexposure. Decrease the ISO 
speed.
Differences Between < d> and < A>In the < A> mode, many functions, such as the AF operation and metering 
mode, are set automatically to prevent  spoiled shots. The functions you can 
set are limited. With < d> mode, only the shutter speed and aperture are set 
automatically. You can freely set the AF operation, metering mode, and 
other functions (p.276).

3 Setting the Image-Recording Quality
* The file size, possible shots, and maximum burst during continuous shooting are 
based on Canon’s testing standards (3:2 aspect ratio, ISO 100 and Standard 
Picture Style) using an 8 GB card.  These figures will vary by the subject, 
card brand, aspect ratio, ISO speed, Picture Style, Custom Functions, and

I want to select the image-recording quality matching the paper 
size for printing.
Refer to the diagram on the left when 
choosing the image-recording quality. If 
you want to crop the image, selecting a 
higher quality (more pixels) such as  73, 
83 , 1+ 73, or 1  is recommended.
b  is suitable for playing back the image 
with a digital photo frame.  c is suitable 
for emailing the image or using it on a 
Web site.
 What’s the difference between 7  and 8?
These settings indicate the different levels of image quality caused 
by different compression rates. The 
7 setting produces a higher 
image quality with the same number of pixels. Although 
8 produces 
a slightly lower image quality, this  allows more images to be saved 
on the card. Both  b and c  have 7 (Fine) quality.
 I was able to take more shots than the number of possible shots 
indicated.
Depending on the shooting conditions, you may be able to take 
more shots than is indicated. It may also be fewer than indicated. 
The number of possible shots  displayed is only approximate.
 Does the camera display the maximum burst?
The maximum burst is displayed on the viewfinder’s right side. Since 
it is only a single-digit indicator  0 - 9, any number higher than 8 will 
be displayed only as “ 9”. Note that this number will also be displayed 
even when no card is installed in the camera. Be careful not to shoot 
without a card in the camera.
 When should I use  1?
1 images must be processed on a computer. For details, see 
“ 1 ” and “ 1+73 ” on the next page.
