Keep spare batteries handy. : The batteries will soon be completely exhausted. : Replace the batteries. ( →page 5) • The battery life shown in the table is based on the Canon’s testing conditions with new batteries. Battery Life(With 24-ex. rolls) Temperature 0% Flash Use 50% Flash Use 100% Flash Use At 20˚C 67 rolls 30 rolls 22 rolls At –10˚C 44 rolls 20 rolls 15 rolls When not using the camera, set the Command Dial to < >.

Take out the batteries and install correctly. (→page 14) • Pressing the shutter button halfway for a prolonged period or operating only the autofocus without taking a picture will still consume battery power. It will reduce the number of rolls that can be taken with the batteries. NNN E SEC1 (13-20) 02.5.11 10:46 AM Page 15

17 How the Shutter Button Works Camera movement during the moment of exposure is called camera shake. Camera shake can cause blurred pictures. To prevent blurred pictures due to camera shake: · Hold the camera steady (→page 20). · Use your finger tip to touch the shutter button, grasp the camera with your entire right hand, then press the shutter button gently. Pressing the Shutter Button Halfway or Fully When it is pressed halfway: •Autofocusing (AF) is activated. When the subject is in focus, the AF point which achieved focus will flash, the beeper will sound, and the focus confirmation light will light up. •Also, the shutter speed and aperture are set and displayed on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder. When it is pressed fully: •The shutter is released to take the picture and the film advances by one frame. The EOS camera’s shutter button can be depressed halfway or all the way. There is a click stop at the halfway point. The shutter button works as described below. If an Extender is used and the maximum aperture of the lens becomes small- er than f/5.6 (the lowest f/number), autofocusing will not operate. NNN E SEC1 (13-20) 02.5.11 10:46 AM Page 17
18 Loading and Unloading Film 2Open the back cover. •Slide the back cover release lever as shown by the arrow. 1Turn the Command Dial to any setting except < >. 3Insert the film cartridge at an angle as shown in the illustration. 4Align the edge of the film with the orange index mark. •Hold down the film cartridge while pulling out the film leader. •If the edge of the film leader goes beyond the orange mark, rewind some of the film back into the cartridge. Right Wrong Loading Film 5Close the back cover. •Check that the edge of the film is aligned with the < > mark, then close the back cover until it snaps shut. After you close the back cover, the film will start winding on the take-up spool and the frame counter will count up. The camera will then make a shutter-release sound and the < > icon and total frame count will be displayed. During the film’s prewind, the ISO speed is displayed on the LCD panel. After you load the film, the camera first winds the entire roll onto the camera’s take-up spool. With DX-coded film, the camera automatically sets the film’s ISO speed. Then each time a picture is taken, one frame of film is rewound back into the film cartridge. The frame counter shows always number of shots remaining. NNN E SEC1 (13-20) 02.5.11 10:46 AM Page 18
19 • If the film is not loaded properly, the < > icon will blink on the LCD panel and the shutter will not work. Reload the film cartridge properly. (→page 18) • If you want to set a film speed different from the DX-coded film speed or if the film cartridge is not DX-coded, see “Setting the ISO Film Speed” on page 50. • Infrared film cannot be used with this camera. • The shutter curtains have been manufactured with very high precision. Never touch them with your fingers. When loading film, do not touch or dam- age the curtains with your fingers or film. • In hot and humid environments, do not remove the film packaging until you are ready to load the film. The camera reads the film cartridge’s DX code and sets the film speed automatically within ISO 25 - 5000. • Set the Command Dial to a Creative Zone mode. Checking the Film Speed Press the < > button and move the < > arrow to < > on the LCD panel. The film speed will appear on the LCD panel. After the films last frame is exposed, the camera rewinds the film automatically. Unloading Film After the film is rewound, there will be a shutter-release sound. Check that the < > icon is blinking on the LCD panel, then open the back cover and take out the film cartridge. NNN E SEC1 (13-20) 02.5.11 10:46 AM Page 19
