Cautions for both  (Night Portrait) and < F> (Handheld Night 
Scene)
 During Live View shooting, it may be difficult to focus on dots of light 
such as in a night scene. In such  a case, set the lens’s focus mode 
switch to  and focus manually.
 The Live View image displayed will not look exactly the same as the 
actual image shot.
Cautions for < F> (Handheld Night Scene)
 When shooting flash photography, if t he subject is too close to the 
camera, the picture may come out extremely bright (overexposure).
 If you use flash to shoot a night scen e with few lights, the shots may not 
align correctly. This can result in a blurry picture.

If you use flash and the human subject is close to the background that is also 
illuminated by the flash, the shots may not align correctly. This can result in a 
blurry picture. Unnatural shadows and unsuitable colors may also appear.
 External flash coverage:• When using a Speedlite with automatic flash coverage setting, the zoom 
position will be fixed to the wide end, regardless of the lens’s zoom position.
• If you have to set the flash coverage manually, set the light-emitting unit (flash head) to the wide-angle end before shooting.
Cautions for < 6> (Night Portrait)
 During Live View shooting, it may be difficult to focus when the face of 
the subject looks dark. In such a ca se, set the lens’s focus mode switch 
to < MF> and focus manually.
Cautions for both < F> (Handheld Night Scene) and < G> (HDR 
Backlight Control)
 Compared to other shooting modes, the shooting range will be smaller.
 1 +73  or 1  cannot be selected. If  1+73  or 1  has been set, 
73  will be set.
 If you shoot a moving subject, t he subject’s movement may leave 
afterimages, or the surrounding area  of the subject may become dark.
 The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns 
(lattice, stripes, etc.), flat or si ngle-tone images, or images significantly 
misaligned due to camera shake.
 It takes some time to record images to the card since they are merged 
after shooting. During the processing of the images, “ buSY” will be 
displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel, and you cannot take 
another picture until the processing is completed.

If the shooting mode is set to  or , direct printing is not possible.

Cautions for < G> (HDR Backlight Control)
 Note that the image may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and 
may look irregular or have significant noise.
 HDR Backlight Control may not be effective for excessively backlit 
scenes or extremely high-contrast scenes.

When shooting subjects that are sufficiently bright, for example for normally 
lit scenes, the image may look unnatural because of the applied HDR effect.

Setting the AF andDrive Modes
The 19 AF points in the viewfinder 
make AF shooting suitable for a 
wide variety of subjects and 
scenes.
You can also select the AF operation and drive mode 
that best match the shooti ng conditions and subject.
The  J icon at the upper right of the page title indicates that 
the function is available only in Creative Zone modes 
(p.27).
 In Basic Zone modes, the AF operation and AF point (AF 
area selection mode) are set automatically.

Suited for still subjects. When you 
press the shutter button halfway, the 
camera will focus only once.
When focus is achieved, the AF point 
that achieved focus will be displayed, 
and the focus indicator < o> in the 
viewfinder will also light up.
 With evaluative metering, the 
exposure setting will be set at the 
same time focus is achieved.
 While you hold down the shutter button halfway, the focus will be 
locked. You can then recompose the shot if desired.
This AF operation is suited for moving subjects when the focusing 
distance keeps changing. While you hold down the shutter button 
halfway, the subject will be focused on continuously.
 The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.
 When the AF area selection mode is set to 19-point automatic 
selection AF (p.101), the camera fi rst uses the manually-selected AF 
point to focus. During autofocusing, if the subject moves away from 
the manually-selected AF point, focu s tracking continues as long as 
the subject is covered by the Area AF frame.
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 on in One-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.

By default, the AF points light up in red when focus is achieved in low-
light conditions. In Creative Zone modes, you can set whether to have 
the AF points light up in red when focus is achieved.
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.
