Handling Precautions
Camera care
22
Screen
Although the screen is manufactured with very high precision technology with over
99.99% effective pixels, 0.01% or fewer of the pixels may be dead, and there may also
be spots of black, red, or other colors. This is not a malfunction. They do not affect the
images recorded.
If the screen is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur where you see
remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only temporary and will disappear
when the camera is left unused for a few days.
The screen display may seem slightly slow in low temperatures or may look black in
high temperatures. It will return to normal at room temperature.
Cards
To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:
Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force, physical shock,
or vibration.
Do not touch the card's electronic contacts with your fingers or anything metallic.
Do not affix any stickers, etc. on the card.
Do not store or use the card near anything that has a strong magnetic field, such as a
television, speakers, or magnets. Also avoid places prone to having static electricity.
Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
Store the card in a case.
Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
Besides dust entering the camera from outside, in rare cases, lubricant from the camera's
internal parts may adhere to the front of the sensor. If smudges are visible on images, have
the sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center.
Lens
After detaching the lens from the camera, put down the lens with the rear end up and
attach the rear lens cap to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts

Tips for avoiding smudges and dust
58
Basic Operations
Shutter Button
Main Dial
AF Start Button
LOCK Button
INFO Button
DISP Button
Turn the dioptric adjustment knob left or right so that the AF points in the viewfinder look
sharp.
If the knob is difficult to turn, remove the eyecup.
Note
If the camera's dioptric adjustment still cannot provide a sharp viewfinder image,
using E series Dioptric Adjustment Lenses (sold separately) is recommended.
59
Holding the Camera
To obtain sharp images, hold the camera still to minimize camera shake.
1. With your right hand, hold the camera firmly by the camera grip.
2. With your left hand, support the lens from below.
3. Rest your right index finger lightly on the shutter button.
4. Rest your arms and elbows lightly against the front of your body.
5. To maintain a stable stance, place one foot slightly ahead of the other.
6. Hold the camera near your face and look through the viewfinder.
Note
To shoot while looking at the screen, see Viewing the Screen as You Shoot (Live
View Shooting).
60
Shutter Button
The shutter button has two steps. You can press the shutter button halfway. Then you can
further press the shutter button completely.
Pressing halfway
This activates autofocusing and the automatic exposure system that sets the shutter speed
and aperture value.
The exposure value (shutter speed and aperture value) is displayed in the viewfinder for
approx. 4 sec. (metering timer/ ).
Pressing completely
“Camera shake” refers to movement of the camera in your hands at the moment of
exposure, which may cause overall blurriness in the picture. To prevent camera shake,
note the following:
• Hold the camera still, as shown in Holding the Camera.
• Press the shutter button halfway to autofocus, then slowly press the shutter button

FAQ
Pressing the shutter button halfway does not focus on the subject.
If the focus mode switch on the lens is set to < >, set it to < >.
The built-in flash fired repeatedly when raised while shooting under low light.
To make autofocusing easier, the built-in flash may fire repeatedly when you press the
shutter button halfway ( ).
110
Note
Note the following if you are not using the built-in flash.
Under low light where camera shake tends to occur, the viewfinder's shutter speed
display will blink. Hold the camera steady or use a tripod. When using a zoom lens,
you can reduce the blur caused by camera shake by setting the lens to the wide-
angle end.
When shooting portraits under low light, tell subjects to stay still until you have
finished shooting. Any movement as you shoot will make the person look blurry in
the picture.
Depending on the scene, positioning the subject toward the left or right to include a
balanced background will result in a picture with better perspective.
Pressing the shutter button halfway to focus on a still subject will lock the focus on that
subject. Recompose the shot while keeping the shutter button pressed halfway, and then
press the shutter button completely to take the picture. This is called “focus lock.”
Note
In Live View shooting, the camera continues to focus on any faces initially detected
and focused on, even if you recompose the shot.
111
Shooting Moving Subjects
Pressing the shutter button halfway tracks moving subjects to keep them in focus.
Keep the subject in the Area AF frame (in viewfinder shooting) or on the screen (in Live

Creative Filter Characteristics
Grainy B/W
Makes the image grainy and black and white. By adjusting the contrast, you can change
the black-and-white effect.
Soft focus
Gives the image a soft look. By adjusting the blur, you can change the degree of
softness.
Fish-eye effect
Gives the effect of a fish-eye lens. The image will have barrel distortion.
Depending on the level of this filter effect, the area trimmed along the periphery of the
image changes. Also, because this filter effect magnifies the center of the image, the
apparent resolution at the center may degrade depending on the number of recorded
pixels, so set the filter effect while checking the resulting image. One AF point is used,
fixed at the center.
Miniature effect
Creates a diorama effect.
Shooting under the default setting will keep the center looking sharp.
In Live View shooting, you can move the area that looks sharp (the scene frame) as
described in Miniature Effect Operations. [1-point AF] is used as the AF method.
Shooting with the AF point and scene frame aligned is recommended.
In viewfinder shooting, aim the center AF point shown in the viewfinder on the subject,
then shoot.
138
HDR art embossed
The color saturation, brightness, contrast and gradation are decreased to make the
picture look flat, so that the picture looks faded and old. The subject outlines will have
bright (or dark) edges.
Caution
[ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] precautions
Compared to other shooting modes, the image area will be smaller.
Live View previews of the filter effects will not look exactly the same as your shots.
If you shoot a moving subject, the 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 single-tone images, or images significantly misaligned due to
camera shake.
Be careful about camera shake in handheld shots.
Subjects such as the sky or white walls may not be rendered with smooth gradation
and may have noise or irregular exposure or colors.
Shooting under fluorescent or LED lighting may result in unnatural color
reproduction of the illuminated areas.
It takes some time to record images to the card since they are merged after
shooting. “buSY” and “BUSY” appear in the viewfinder and on the screen,
respectively, as images are processed, and shooting is not possible until
processing is finished.
Flash photography is not possible. However, raising the flash beforehand is
recommended, to enable firing of the AF-assist beam ( ).
Note
With [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ], you can shoot high dynamic range photos that
retain detail in highlights and shadows of high-contrast scenes. Three consecutive
images are captured at different brightnesses each time you shoot and used to
create a single image. See the precautions for [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ].
139

Exposure is locked (AE lock) as you hold down the depth-of-field preview button.
151
Manual Exposure Mode (M)
In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture value as desired. To determine
the exposure, refer to the exposure level indicator in the viewfinder or use a commercially
available exposure meter.
*< > stands for Manual.
152
3. Set the shutter speed and aperture value.
To set the shutter speed (1), turn the < > dial, and to set the
aperture value (2), turn the < > dial.
153
4. Focus on the subject.
Check the exposure level mark < > to see how far the current
exposure level is from the standard exposure level.
Check the exposure level indicator and set the desired shutter speed
and aperture value.
< > or < > is shown at the ends of the exposure level indicator if the
exposure level exceeds ±3 stops (or in the viewfinder, ±2 stops) from
standard exposure.
154
Exposure Compensation with ISO Auto
If the ISO speed is set to “ ” (AUTO) for manual exposure shooting, you can set exposure
compensation ( ) as follows:
[ : Expo.comp./AEB]
By holding down < > and turning the < > dial when [ ] in the [13: Custom
Controls] setting of [ : Custom Functions(C.Fn)] is set to [ Expo comp (hold
btn, turn )].
Quick Control screen
Caution
Exposure may not be as expected when ISO Auto is set, because the ISO speed is
adjusted to ensure standard exposure for your specified shutter speed and
aperture value. In this case, set the exposure compensation.
Exposure compensation is not applied in flash photography with ISO Auto, even if
you have set an exposure compensation amount.
Note
To enable Auto Lighting Optimizer to be specified in < > mode as well, clear the
[ ] mark for [Disable during man expo] in [ : Auto Lighting Optimizer] ( ).
When ISO Auto is set, you can press the < > button to lock the ISO speed.
If you press the < > button and recompose the shot, you can see the exposure
level difference on the exposure level indicator compared to when the < >
button was pressed.
Any existing exposure compensation amount is maintained if you switch to < >
mode with ISO Auto after using exposure compensation in < >, < >, or
< > mode ( ).
To coordinate exposure compensation in ½-stop increments with ISO speed set in
⅓-stop increments when [1: Exposure level increments] in [ : Custom
Functions(C.Fn)] is set to [1:1/2-stop] and used with ISO Auto, exposure
compensation is further adjusted by adjusting shutter speed. However, the shutter
speed displayed will not change.
155
Long (Bulb) Exposures
In this mode, the shutter stays open as long as you hold down the shutter button completely,
and closes when you let go of the shutter button. Use bulb exposures for night scenes,
fireworks, astrophotography, and other subjects requiring long exposures.
The exposure will continue for as long as you keep the shutter button
pressed completely.
156
Caution
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun or an
intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or the
camera's internal components.
Long bulb exposures produce more noise in the image than usual.
If ISO Auto is set, ISO 400 will be set ( ).
When shooting bulb exposures with both the self-timer and mirror lockup, keep
pressing the shutter button completely until shooting is finished (when the self-timer
and bulb exposure time have elapsed). No shot will be taken if you release the
shutter button during self-timer countdown, although a shutter-release sound will be
played.
Note
With [ : Long exp. noise reduction], you can reduce the noise generated during
long exposures ( ).
Using a tripod is recommended for bulb exposures. You can also use mirror lockup
( ).
You can shoot bulb exposures by using Remote Switch RS-60E3 (sold
separately, ).
You can also shoot bulb exposures by using Wireless Remote Control BR-E1 (sold
separately, ). When you press the remote controller's release (transmit) button,
the bulb exposure will start immediately or 2 sec. later. Press the button again to
stop the bulb exposure.
157
Mirror Lockup
You can use the mirror lockup function to prevent the disturbing mechanical vibrations
(mirror shock) when shooting with super telephoto lenses or shooting close-ups (macro
photography).
158
Shooting tips
Shoot remotely.
Since you do not touch the camera when the picture is taken, remote control shooting
together with mirror lockup can further reduce the camera vibration blur ( ).
With Wireless Remote Control BR-E1 (sold separately) set to the 2 sec. delay, press the
release button to lock up the mirror, and the picture will be taken 2 sec. after the mirror
lockup.
With Remote Switch RS-60E3 (sold separately), press the release button completely to
lock up the mirror, and press it completely again to take the picture.
Caution
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun or an
intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or the
camera's internal components.
In very bright light, such as at the beach or a ski slope on a sunny day, take the
picture promptly after mirror lockup is stabilized.
When shooting with mirror lockup, if you use both the self-timer and bulb
exposures, keep pressing the shutter button completely (for self-timer delay time +
bulb exposure time). No shot will be taken if you release the shutter button during
self-timer countdown, although a shutter-release sound will be played.
During mirror lockup, shooting function settings, menu operations, etc. are
disabled.
When you use flash, the red-eye reduction lamp will not light up.
Note
Even if you set the drive mode to [ ], [ ], or [ ], the camera will still shoot in
the single shooting mode.
When [ : High ISO speed NR] is set to [Multi Shot Noise Reduction], four
consecutive shots will be taken for a single picture regardless of the [Mirror
lockup] setting.
If approx. 30 sec. elapse after the mirror has locked up, it will go back down
automatically. Pressing the shutter button completely locks up the mirror again.
When shooting with mirror lockup, using a tripod and Wireless Remote Control
BR-E1 (sold separately, ) or Remote Switch RS-60E3 (sold separately, ) is
recommended.

One-Shot AF for Still Subjects
This AF operation is suited for still subjects. When you press the shutter button halfway, the
camera will focus only once.
Viewfinder shooting
• Once a subject is in focus, the focusing AF point (1) is displayed, the focus indicator
< > (2) in the viewfinder lights up, and the camera beeps. The focus indicator
< > blinks if the camera cannot focus.
• With evaluative metering ( ), the exposure value is set as soon as a subject is in
focus.
• Once a subject is in focus, the focusing AF point turns green and the camera beeps.
If focus is not achieved, the AF point will turn orange.
Note
If [ : Beep] is set to [Disable], the beeper will not sound when focus is achieved.
The focus remains locked while you hold down the shutter button halfway, allowing
you to recompose the image before taking the picture. This is called “focus lock.”
See Lens Electronic MF when using a lens that supports electronic manual
focusing.
163
AI Servo AF (Viewfinder Shooting) or Servo AF (Live View
Shooting) for Moving Subjects
This AF operation is suited for moving subjects. While you hold down the shutter button
halfway, the camera will keep focusing on the subject continuously.
• Once a subject is in focus, the focusing AF point is displayed. The focus indicator
< > in the viewfinder does not light up when subjects are in focus.
Note
164
AI Focus AF (Viewfinder Shooting) for Automatic
Switching of AF Operation
AF operation automatically switches from [One-Shot AF] to [AI Servo AF] based on subject
status.
After the camera uses [One-Shot AF] to focus on a subject, if it detects subject
movement, a change in distance, or similar changes, it switches to [AI Servo AF] and
continues to track the moving subject.
Note
The camera continues beeping quietly when subjects are in focus using the servo.
The focus indicator < > in the viewfinder does not light up when subjects are in
focus using the servo.
Shooting with the focus locked is not possible when the servo is used.
In < > mode in Live View shooting, [AI Focus AF] is used to focus. Note that
[Servo AF] is used to focus on moving subjects. When focus is achieved, the AF
point will turn blue. Note that the camera does not switch to [Servo AF] if the
subject moves during continuous shooting.
165
AF-Assist Beam
In viewfinder shooting, the built-in flash or a Speedlite can emit an AF-assist beam to make
autofocusing easier under low light or in other conditions where autofocusing is difficult.
With the built-in flash, the AF-assist beam fires as needed after you raise the flash and
press the shutter button halfway.
With a Speedlite, configure the setting on the Speedlite as needed.
Caution
The flash does not emit an AF-assist beam when AF operation is set to [AI Servo
AF].
Note
166
AF Points Lighting Up in Red (Viewfinder Shooting)
The AF points light up in red when focus is achieved in low-light conditions or on a dark
subject. You can disable lighting up in Creative Zone modes ( ).
167
Selecting the AF Area and AF Point (Viewfinder
Shooting)
The number of available AF points, the focusing patterns, and the Area AF frame shape vary
by lens. For details, refer to Compatible Lenses and Autofocusing (Viewfinder Shooting).
Four AF area selection modes are available. For instructions on choosing a mode, see
Selecting the AF Area Selection Mode.
Manual selection:1 pt AF
168
Manual select.:Zone AF
The camera focuses in a zone consisting of nine AF points. Subjects are easier to
acquire than with 1-point AF.
Generally focuses on the nearest subject. Note that any detected faces are given priority
in focusing.
With [AI Servo AF], focusing continues as long as subjects can be tracked within the
zone.
The AF area is divided into three focusing zones (left, center, and right) for focusing.
Subjects are easier to acquire than with Zone AF.
Generally focuses on the nearest subject. Note that any detected faces are given priority
in focusing.
With [AI Servo AF], focusing continues as long as subjects can be tracked within the
large zone.
169
Auto selection AF
Caution
AF points may not track subjects under some shooting conditions when [AI Servo
AF] is used with [Manual select.:Zone AF], [Manual select.:Large Zone AF], or
[Auto selection AF].
Focusing may be difficult when using a peripheral AF point or a wide-angle or
telephoto lens. In such a case, use the center AF point or an AF point close to the
center.
When the AF point(s) light up, part or all of the viewfinder may light up in red, which
is a characteristic of AF point display.
In low temperatures, the AF point display may be difficult to see or have a slower
tracking response due to the nature of the AF point display device (using liquid
crystal).
170
Selecting the AF Area Selection Mode
Each time you press the < > button, the AF area selection mode
changes.
Note
The AF area selection mode can be selected in Creative Zone modes by pressing

177
Selecting the AF Method
Each time you press the < > button, the AF method changes.
Note
178
+Tracking:
The camera detects and focuses on people's faces. If a face moves, the AF point [ ] also
moves to track the face.
You can set [Eye Detection AF] to [Enable] to shoot with the subject's eyes in focus ( ).
* These instructions apply to the camera with AF operation set to [One-Shot AF] ( ). With [Servo
AF] ( ) set, the AF point will turn blue when focus is achieved.
179
2. Focus and take the picture.
Once you press the shutter button halfway and the subject is in focus,
the AF point turns green and the camera beeps.
An orange AF point indicates that the camera could not focus on
subjects.
Caution
If the subject's face is significantly out of focus, face detection will not be possible.
Adjust the focus manually ( ) so that the face can be detected, then perform AF.
An object other than a human face may be detected as a face.
Face detection will not work if the face is very small or large in the picture, too
bright or too dark, or partially hidden.
AF cannot detect subjects or people's faces at the edges of the screen.
Recompose the shot to center the subject or bring the subject closer to the center.
Note
The active [ ] may cover only a part of the face, not the whole face.
The size of the AF point changes depending on the subject.
180
Spot AF/1-point AF/Zone AF
You can manually set the AF point or Zone AF frame. Here, 1-point AF screens are used as
an example.
The AF point (1) will appear. With Zone AF, the Zone AF frame is
displayed.

and [1-point AF], autofocusing is performed after restoring normal display.
With Servo AF, if you press the shutter button halfway in the magnified view, the camera
will return to the normal view for focusing.
Caution
If focusing is difficult in the magnified view, return to the normal view and perform
AF.
If you perform AF in the normal view and then use the magnified view, accurate
focus may not be achieved.
AF speed differs between the normal view and magnified view.
Continuous AF and Movie Servo AF are not available when display is magnified.
With the magnified view, achieving focus becomes more difficult due to camera
shake. Using a tripod is recommended.
185
AF Shooting Tips
Even when focus is achieved, pressing the shutter button halfway will focus again.
Image brightness may change during autofocusing.
Depending on the subject and shooting conditions, it may take longer to focus, or the
continuous shooting speed may decrease.
If the light source changes as you shoot, the screen may flicker, and focusing may be
difficult. In this case, restart the camera and resume shooting with AF under the light
source you will use.
If focusing is not possible with AF, focus manually ( ).
For subjects at the edge of the screen that are slightly out of focus, try centering the
subject (or AF point, or Zone AF frame) to bring them into focus, then recompose the
shot before shooting.
With certain lenses, it may take more time to achieve focus with autofocus, or accurate
focusing may not be achieved.
186
Shooting Conditions That Make Focusing Difficult
Subjects with low contrast, such as a blue sky or flat surfaces in solid colors, or other
cases when highlight or shadow details are clipped.
Subjects in low light.
Stripes and other patterns where there is contrast only in the horizontal direction.
Subjects with repetitive patterns (Example: Skyscraper windows, computer keyboards,
etc.).
Fine lines and subject outlines.
Under a light source whose brightness, color, or pattern keeps changing.
Night scenes or points of light.
The image flickers under fluorescent or LED lighting.

RAW Images
RAW images are raw data from the image sensor that are recorded to the card digitally as
or (smaller than ) files, depending on your selection.
RAW images can be processed using [ : RAW image processing] ( ) to save them as
JPEG images. As the RAW image itself does not change, you can process the RAW image
to create any number of JPEG images with various processing conditions.
You can use Digital Photo Professional (EOS software) to process RAW images. You can
make various adjustments to images depending upon how they will be used and can
generate JPEG or other types of images reflecting the effects of those adjustments.
Note
To display RAW images on a computer, consider using the EOS application Digital
Photo Professional (hereafter DPP).
Older versions of DPP Ver.4.x do not support display, processing, editing, or other
operations with RAW images captured by this camera. If a previous version of DPP
(Ver.4.x) is installed, obtain and install the latest version of DPP from the Canon
website to update it ( ), which will overwrite the previous version. Similarly, DPP
Ver.3.x or earlier does not support display, processing, editing, or other operations
with RAW images captured by this camera.
Commercially available software may not be able to display RAW images taken
with this camera. For compatibility information, contact the software manufacturer.
See Specifications for details on file size, number of shots available, maximum burst, and
other estimated values.
265
Maximum Burst for Continuous Shooting
The approximate maximum burst is shown as a number or other indication at the top of the
shooting screen in Live View shooting and in the lower right of the viewfinder in viewfinder
shooting.
Note
When the maximum burst indicator is “99” in Live View shooting, you can shoot 99
shots or more continuously. The value starts decreasing once it reaches 98 or less.
When the maximum burst indicator is “9” in viewfinder shooting, you can shoot 9
shots or more continuously. The value starts decreasing once it reaches 8 or less.
“ ” display in the viewfinder indicates that the internal buffer memory is full
and shooting will stop temporarily. If you stop continuous shooting, the maximum
burst will increase. After all captured images have been written to a card, you can
once again shoot at the maximum burst listed in Specifications.

272
Distortion Correction
Caution
To correct distortion, the camera captures a narrower image area than the area
seen when shooting, which crops the image a little and slightly lowers the apparent
resolution.
Setting distortion correction may change the angle of view slightly.
When you magnify images, distortion correction is not applied to the images
displayed.
Distortion correction is not applied in movie recording.
Images with distortion correction applied will not have the Dust Delete Data ( )
appended. Also, the AF point may be displayed out of position, relative to the time
of shooting.
Note
Distortion is corrected automatically when < > mode is set to < > mode
with correction data registered on the camera.
273
Digital Lens Optimizer
Various aberrations from lens optical characteristics can be corrected, along with diffraction
and low-pass filter-induced loss of resolution.
If [Correction data not available] or [ ] is displayed by [Digital Lens Optimizer], you can
use EOS Utility to add the lens correction data to the camera. For details, refer to the EOS
Utility Instruction Manual.

In step 2 for White Balance Correction, when you turn the < > dial, the “■” mark on
the screen will change to “■ ■ ■” (3 points).
Turning the dial clockwise sets the B/A bracketing, and turning it counterclockwise sets
the M/G bracketing.
On the right, [Bracket] indicates the bracketing direction and correction amount.
Pressing the < > button will cancel all the [WB Shift/Bkt.] settings.
Press < > to exit the setting.
Caution
During white balance bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will
be lower.
Since three images are recorded for one shot, it takes longer to record the image to
the card.
Note
The images will be bracketed in the following sequence: 1. Standard white balance,
2. Blue (B) bias, and 3. Amber (A) bias, or 1. Standard white balance, 2. Magenta
(M) bias, and 3. Green (G) bias.
You can also set white balance correction and AEB together with white balance
bracketing. If you set AEB in combination with white balance bracketing, a total of
nine images will be recorded for a single shot.
In Live View shooting, the white balance icon blinks when white balance bracketing
has been set.
“Bracket” stands for bracketing.
298
Color Space
The range of reproducible colors is called the “color space.” For normal shooting, sRGB is
recommended.
Adobe RGB
This color space is mainly used for commercial printing and other industrial uses.
Recommended when using equipment such as Adobe RGB-compatible monitors or DCF 2.0
(Exif 2.21 or later) compatible printers.
Note
File names of still photos shot in the Adobe RGB color space begin with “_”.

Noise Reduction Features
For images exposed for 1 sec. or longer, noise (dots of light and banding) typical of long
exposures can be reduced.
312
2. Set a reduction option.
[ ] Auto
For exposures of 1 sec. or longer, noise reduction is performed
automatically if noise typical of long exposures is detected. This setting
is effective enough in most cases.
[ ] Enable
Noise reduction is performed for all exposures of 1 sec. or longer. The
[Enable] setting may reduce noise that cannot be detected with the
[Auto] setting.
Caution
With [Auto] or [Enable] set, noise reduction after you shoot may take as long as
exposure for the shot.
Images may look grainier with the [Enable] setting than with the [Disable] or [Auto]
setting.
With [Enable] set, shooting long exposures during Live View display will stop Live
View display (and prevent your next shot) until the camera is finished with noise
reduction, indicated by [BUSY] display. The Live View display will not appear until
the noise reduction is complete. (You cannot take another picture.)
313
High ISO Speed Noise Reduction

317
2. Select [OK].
318
3. Shoot a plain white object.
Shoot with a plain white object (such as a new sheet of white paper)
filling the screen, at a distance of 20–30 cm (0.7–1.0 ft.).
Since the image will not be saved, the data can still be obtained even if
there is no card in the camera.
When the picture is taken, the camera will start collecting the Dust
Delete Data. When the Dust Delete Data is obtained, a message will
appear.
If the data is not obtained successfully, an error message will appear.
Check the information in Preparation, select [OK], and shoot again.
319
Dust Delete Data Appending
Once acquired, Dust Delete Data is appended to still photos captured after that point.
Acquiring Dust Delete Data before shooting is recommended.
For details about using Digital Photo Professional (EOS software) to erase dust spots
automatically, refer to the Digital Photo Professional Instruction Manual.
File size is essentially unaffected by Dust Delete Data appended to images.
Caution
If the object has any pattern or design, it may be recognized as dust data and affect
the accuracy of the dust deletion with the Digital Photo Professional (EOS
software).
Dust Delete Data is not added to shots taken under the following conditions.
• Captured in [ ] (< > mode) shooting
• Captured in [ ]/[ ]/[ ]/[ ]/[ ] (< > mode) shooting
• Captured with [Distortion correction] in [ : Lens aberration correction] set
to [ON]
320
Anti-Flicker Shooting
Uneven exposure and color may result if you shoot at fast shutter speeds under flickering
light sources such as fluorescent lights, due to uneven vertical exposure. Anti-flicker
shooting enables viewfinder shooting at moments when exposure and colors are less
affected by flickering.
2. Select [Enable].
321
Caution
When [Enable] is set and you shoot under a flickering light source, the shutter-
release time lag may become longer. Also, the continuous shooting speed may
become slower, and the shooting interval may become irregular.
Not applied to mirror lockup shots, Live View shooting, or movie recording.
Flicker at a frequency other than 100 Hz or 120 Hz cannot be detected. Also, if the
flickering frequency of the light source changes during continuous shooting, effects
of the flicker cannot be reduced.
In the < > or < > mode, if the shutter speed changes during continuous
shooting or if you shoot multiple shots of the same scene at different shutter
speeds, the color tone may become inconsistent. To avoid inconsistent color tone,
shoot in < > or < > mode at a fixed shutter speed.
Color tone of captured images may vary between [Enable] and [Disable].
Shutter speed, aperture value, and ISO speed may change when you start
shooting with AE lock.
If the subject is against a dark background or if there is a bright light in the image,
flicker may not be properly detected.
Flicker reduction may not be possible under special lighting.
Depending on the light source, flicker may not be detected properly.
Depending on the light sources or shooting conditions, the expected result may not
be obtained even if you use this function.
Note
322
Continuous AF (Live View Shooting)
This function keeps subjects generally in focus in Live View shooting. The camera is ready
to focus immediately when you press the shutter button halfway.
2. Select [Enable].
Caution
Enabling this function reduces the number of shots available, because the lens is
driven continuously and battery power is consumed.

Note
The AF-assist beam of an attached EX series Speedlite equipped with an LED light
will fire as needed from the Speedlite's LED light in Live View shooting when you
specify [Enable] or [Enable external flash only].
326
General Still Photo Shooting Precautions
Caution
Image quality
When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (such as dots of light and banding) may
become noticeable.
Shooting in high temperatures may cause noise and irregular colors in the image.
327
In Live View Shooting
Caution
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun or an
intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or the
camera's internal components.
Image quality
Frequent shooting over an extended period may cause the camera's internal
temperature to rise and affect image quality. When you are not shooting, always
turn off the camera.
If you shoot a long exposure while the camera's internal temperature is high, image
quality may decline. Stop shooting and wait a few minutes before shooting again.
Shooting results
In magnified view, the shutter speed and aperture value will be displayed in red. If
you take the picture in magnified view, the exposure may not come out as desired.
Return to the normal view before taking the picture.
Even if you take the picture in magnified view, the image will be captured with the
image area of the normal view.
328
Images and display
Under low- or bright-light conditions, the displayed image may not reflect the
brightness of the captured image.
Under low light, noise may be noticeable in image display even at low ISO speeds,
but there will be less noise in your shots, because image quality varies between
display and captured images.
The screen or exposure value may flicker if the light source (lighting) changes. In
this case, stop shooting temporarily and resume under the light source you will use.
Pointing the camera at different direction may momentarily prevent correct display
of brightness. Wait until the brightness level stabilizes before shooting.
If there is a very bright light source in the image, the bright area may appear black
on the screen. However, the actual captured image will correctly show the bright
area.
In low light, if you set [ : Disp. brightness] to a bright setting, noise or irregular
colors may appear in the image. However, the noise or irregular colors will not be
recorded in the captured image.
When you magnify the image, the image sharpness may look more pronounced
than in the actual image.

Note
353
4K Movie Recording
Recording 4K movies requires a high-performance card. For details, see Cards That
Can Record Movies.
Recording 4K movies greatly increases the processing load, which may cause the
camera's internal temperature to increase faster or become higher than for regular
movies. If a red icon appears during movie recording, the card may be hot, so
stop recording the movie and let the camera cool down before removing the card.
(Do not remove the card immediately.)
From a 4K movie, you can select any frame to save as an approx. 8.3 megapixel
(3840×2160) JPEG still image to the card ( ).
354
Compression Method
[ ] IPB (Standard)
Compresses multiple frames at a time efficiently for recording.
[ ] IPB (Light)
Since the movie is recorded at a bit rate lower than with IPB (Standard), the file size will
be smaller than with IPB (Standard) and the playback compatibility will be higher. This
will make the possible recording time longer than with IPB (Standard) (with a card
having the same capacity).
[ ] MP4
All movies you record with the camera are recorded as movie files in MP4 format (file
extension “.MP4”).
355
Cards That Can Record Movies
For details on cards that can record at each level of movie recording quality, see Card
performance requirements.
Test cards by recording a few movies to make sure they can record correctly at your
specified size ( ).
Caution
Note
To obtain better performance with the card, formatting the card with the camera
before recording movies is recommended ( ).
To check the card's writing/reading speed, refer to the card manufacturer's website,
etc.
356
Movie Files Exceeding 4 GB
Even if you record a movie exceeding 4 GB, you can keep recording without interruption.
If you use the camera to format an SD/SDHC card, the camera will format it in FAT32.
With a FAT32-formatted card, if you record a movie and the file size exceeds 4 GB, a
new movie file will be created automatically.
When you play back the movie, you will have to play back each movie file individually.
Movie files cannot be played back automatically in consecutive order. After the movie
playback ends, select the next movie and play it back.
If you use the camera to format an SDXC card, the camera will format it in exFAT.
When using an exFAT-formatted card, even if the file size exceeds 4 GB during movie
recording, the movie will be saved as a single file (rather than being split into multiple
files).
Caution
When importing movie files exceeding 4 GB to a computer, use either EOS Utility
or a card reader ( ). It may not be possible to save movie files exceeding 4 GB if
you attempt this using standard features of the computer's operating system.

Caution
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun or an
intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or the
camera's internal components.
[Time-lapse movie] cannot be set to an option other than [Disable] when the
camera is connected to a computer with the interface cable, or when an HDMI
cable is connected.
Movie Servo AF will not function.
If the shutter speed is 1/30 sec. or slower, the exposure of the movie may not be
displayed properly (may differ from that of the resulting movie).
Do not zoom the lens during time-lapse movie recording. Zooming the lens may
cause the image to be out of focus, the exposure to change, or the lens aberration
correction not to function properly.
When recording a time-lapse movie under a flickering light, noticeable image
flickering, horizontal stripes (noise), or irregular exposures may be recorded.
Images displayed as time-lapse movies are recorded may look different from the
resulting movie (in details such as inconsistent brightness from flickering light
sources, or noise from a high ISO speed).
When recording a time-lapse movie under low light, the image displayed during
shooting may look different from what is actually recorded in the movie. In such
cases, the [ ] icon will blink.
If you move the camera from left to right (panning) or shoot a moving subject during
time-lapse movie recording, the image may look extremely distorted.
During time-lapse movie recording, auto power off will not take effect. Also, you
cannot adjust the shooting function and menu function settings, play back images,
etc.
Sound is not recorded for time-lapse movies.
If the shutter speed exceeds the shooting interval (such as for long exposures), or if
a slow shutter speed is set automatically, the camera may not be able to shoot at
the set interval. Shooting may also be prevented by shooting intervals nearly the
same as the shutter speed.
If the next scheduled shot is not possible, it will be skipped. This may shorten the
recording time of the created time-lapse movie.
If the time it takes to record to the card exceeds the shooting interval due to the
shooting functions set or card performance, some of the shots may not be taken
with the set intervals.
The captured images are not recorded as still photos. Even if you cancel the time-
lapse movie recording after only one shot is taken, it will be recorded as a movie
file.
If you connect the camera to a computer with the interface cable and use EOS
Utility (EOS software), set [ : Time-lapse movie] to [Disable]. If an option other
than [Disable] is selected, the camera cannot communicate with the computer.
375
During time-lapse movie recording, the lens's Image Stabilizer will not operate.
If the power switch is set to < >, time-lapse movie recording will be terminated
and the setting will be switched to [Disable].
Even if a flash is used, it will not fire.
The following operations cancel standby for time-lapse movie recording and switch
the setting to [Disable].
• Selecting either [Clean now ] in [ : Sensor cleaning] or [Clear all camera
settings] in [ : Clear settings]
• Setting the Mode dial to < > or < >
If you start time-lapse movie recording while the white [ ] ( ) icon is displayed,
the image quality of the time-lapse movie may deteriorate. It is recommended that
you start time-lapse movie recording after the white [ ] icon disappears (camera's
internal temperature decreases).

General Movie Recording Precautions
Caution
393
If you use a card with a slow writing speed, an indicator may appear on the right
of the screen during movie recording. The indicator shows how much data has
not yet been written to the card (remaining capacity of the internal buffer
memory), and it increases more quickly the slower the card is. If the indicator (1)
becomes full, movie recording will stop automatically.
If the card has a fast writing speed, the indicator will either not appear or the level
(if displayed) will hardly go upward. First, record a few test movies to see if the card
can write fast enough.
If the indicator indicates that the card is full and movie recording stops
automatically, the sound near the end of the movie may not be recorded properly.
If the card's writing speed is slow (due to fragmentation) and the indicator appears,
formatting the card may make the writing speed faster.
Audio restrictions
Note that the following restrictions apply to audio in movie recording.
• Sound will not be recorded for approx. the last two frames.
• When you play back movies in Windows, movie images and sound may
become slightly out of synchronization.

Gives the effect of a fish-eye lens. The image will have barrel distortion.
Depending on the level of this filter effect, the area trimmed along the periphery of the
image changes. Also, because this filter effect magnifies the center of the image, the
apparent resolution at the center may degrade depending on the number of recorded
pixels, so set the filter effect in step 4 while checking the resulting image.
Makes the photo look like an oil painting and the subject look more three-dimensional.
By adjusting the effect, you can change the contrast and saturation. Note that subjects
such as the sky or white walls may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and may
look irregular or have significant noise.
Makes the photo look like a watercolor painting with soft colors. By adjusting the effect,
you can change the color density. Note that night scenes or dark scenes may not be
rendered with a smooth gradation and may look irregular or have significant noise.
Shifts colors to those typical of toy cameras and darkens the four corners of the image.

Wireless Communication Function Precautions
If the transmission rate drops, the connection is lost, or other problems occur when using the
wireless communication functions, try the following corrective actions.
If the camera is too far from the smartphone, a Wi-Fi connection may not be established
even when Bluetooth connection is possible. In this case, bring the camera and the
smartphone closer together, then establish a Wi-Fi connection.
621
Installation Location of Access Point Antenna
When using indoors, install the device in the room where you are using the camera.
Install the device where people or objects do not come between the device and the
camera.
622
Nearby Electronic Devices
If the Wi-Fi transmission rate drops because of the influence of the following electronic
devices, stop using them or move further away from the devices to transmit communication.
The camera communicates over Wi-Fi via IEEE 802.11b/g/n using radio waves in the
2.4 GHz band. For this reason, the Wi-Fi transmission rate will drop if there are
Bluetooth devices, microwave ovens, cordless telephones, microphones, smartphones,
other cameras, or similar devices operating on the same frequency band nearby.
623
Precautions for Using Multiple Cameras
When connecting multiple cameras to one access point via Wi-Fi, make sure the
cameras' IP addresses are different.
When multiple cameras are connected to one access point via Wi-Fi, the transmission
rate drops.
When there are multiple IEEE 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz band) access points, leave a gap of
five channels between each Wi-Fi channel to reduce radio wave interference. For
example, use channels 1, 6, and 11, channels 2 and 7, or channels 3 and 8.
624
Security
If security settings have not been properly set, the following problems may occur.
Transmission monitoring
Third parties with malicious intent may monitor wireless LAN transmissions and attempt
to acquire the data you are sending.
Unauthorized network access
Third parties with malicious intent may gain unauthorized access to the network you are
using to steal, modify, or destroy information. Additionally, you could fall victim to other
types of unauthorized access such as impersonation (where someone assumes an
identity to gain access to unauthorized information) or springboard attacks (where
someone gains unauthorized access to your network as a springboard to cover their
tracks when infiltrating other systems).
It is recommended to make use of the systems and functions to thoroughly secure your
network, preventing these types of problems from occurring.
625
Checking Network Settings
Windows
Open the Windows [Command Prompt], then type ipconfig/all and press the <Enter> key.
In addition to the IP address assigned to the computer, the subnet mask, gateway, and DNS
server information are also displayed.
macOS
In macOS, open the [Terminal] application, enter ifconfig -a, and press the <Return> key.
The IP address assigned to the computer is indicated in the [en0] item next to [inet], in the
format “***.***.***.***”.

done by a Canon Service Center is recommended.
3. Select [OK].
665
5. End the cleaning.
Note
Caution
While cleaning the sensor, never do any of the following. If the power is cut
off, the shutter will close and the reflex mirror will go back down. These may
result in damaging the image sensor, shutter curtains, and reflex mirror.
• Setting the power switch to < >.
• Removing or inserting the battery.
The surface of the image sensor is extremely delicate. Clean the sensor with care.
Use a plain blower without any brush attached. A brush can scratch the sensor.

Troubleshooting Guide
Power-related problems
Shooting-related problems
Operation problems
Display problems
Playback problems
If a problem occurs with the camera, first refer to this Troubleshooting Guide. If this
Troubleshooting Guide does not resolve the problem, contact your dealer or nearest Canon
Service Center.
711
Power-related problems
If the battery's remaining capacity ( ) is 94% or higher, the battery will not be charged.
Do not use any battery packs other than a genuine Canon Battery Pack LP-E17.
If (1) the battery charger or battery has a problem or (2) communication with the battery
failed (with a non-Canon battery pack), the protection circuit will stop charging, and the
charge lamp will blink in orange at a constant high speed. In the case of (1), unplug the
charger's power plug from the power outlet. Detach and reattach the battery to the
charger. Wait a few minutes, then reconnect the power plug to the power outlet. If the
problem persists, contact your dealer or nearest Canon Service Center.
If the internal temperature of the battery attached to the charger is high, the charger will
not charge the battery for safety reasons (lamp off). During charging, if the battery's
temperature becomes high for any reason, charging will stop automatically (lamp blinks).
When the battery temperature goes down, charging will resume automatically.
The camera is not activated even when the power switch is set to
< >.
The access lamp still lights or blinks even when the power switch is set
to < >.
If the power is turned off while an image is being recorded to the card, the access lamp
will remain on or continue to blink for a few seconds. When the image recording is
complete, the power will turn off automatically.
Do not use any battery packs other than a genuine Canon Battery Pack LP-E17.
Remove and install the battery again ( ).
If the electrical contacts are dirty, use a soft cloth to clean them.
712
The battery becomes exhausted quickly.
Auto power off is in effect. If you do not want auto power off to take effect, set [ : Auto
power off] to [Disable] ( ).
Even if [ : Auto power off] is set to [Disable], the screen will still turn off after the
camera is left idle for approx. 30 min. (The camera's power does not turn off.)
713
Shooting-related problems
Since SDXC cards are formatted in exFAT, if you format a card with this camera and
then insert it into another camera, an error may be displayed and it may not be possible
to use the card.
714
The image is out of focus or blurred.
The number of available AF points, the focusing patterns, and the Area AF frame shape
vary by lens.
For details on AF points lighting up or blinking when you press the < > or < >
button, see Meaning of Lit or Blinking AF Points.
The AF points light up in red when you shoot under low light or when focus is achieved
on a dark subject.
In the < >, < >, < >, or < > mode, you can set whether to have the AF
points light up in red for when focus is achieved ( ).
Set the AF operation to One-Shot AF. Focus lock is not possible in the AI Servo AF/
Servo AF mode and when servo takes effect in AI Focus AF mode ( , ).
The continuous shooting speed for high-speed continuous shooting may be lower,
depending on conditions such as these: temperature, battery level, flicker reduction,
shutter speed, aperture value, subject conditions, brightness, AF operation, type of lens,
live view shooting, use of flash, and shooting settings, etc. For details, see Drive Mode.
715
The maximum burst during continuous shooting is lower.
If you shoot a subject that has fine detail such as a field of grass, the file size will be
larger, and the actual maximum burst may be lower than the number listed in Still photo
file size / Number of possible shots / Maximum burst for continuous shooting.
Even after I change the card, the maximum burst displayed for
continuous shooting does not change.
The maximum burst displayed does not change when you switch cards, even if you
switch to a high-speed card. The maximum burst shown in the table on Still photo file
size / Number of possible shots / Maximum burst for continuous shooting is based on
Canon's testing card. (The faster the card's writing speed, the higher the actual
maximum burst will be.) For this reason, the maximum burst displayed may differ from
the actual maximum burst.
See Exposure Compensation with ISO Auto to set the exposure compensation.
Although [Chromatic aberr corr] and [Diffraction correction] are not displayed when
[Digital Lens Optimizer] is set to [Enable], both functions are applied in shooting, as
when set to [Enable].
During movie recording, [Digital Lens Optimizer], [Diffraction correction], or
[Distortion correction] will not be displayed.
Shooting with the flash may be temporarily disabled to protect the flash head if the built-
in flash is used repeatedly over a short period.
716
The external Speedlite does not fire.
If you use a flash unit other than an EL/EX series Speedlite, the flash will always fire at
full output ( ).
The flash always fires at full output when [Flash metering mode] in external flash
Custom Function settings is set to [TTL flash metering] (autoflash) ( ).
If flash exposure compensation is set with the external Speedlite, compensation amount
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 taking still photos, set the drive mode to < > or < > ( ). When recording
movies, set [ : Remote control] to [Enable] ( ).
Check the position of the remote control's release timing switch.
If you are using Wireless Remote Control BR-E1, see Wireless Remote Control BR-E1.
To use a remote control for time-lapse movie recording, see Time-Lapse Movies.
The shutter makes two release sounds during Live View shooting.
If you use flash with Live View shooting, the shutter will make two release sounds each
time you shoot.
The electronic level is not displayed in Live View shooting when the AF method is set to
[ +Tracking].
717
During Live View shooting, a white or red icon is displayed.
It indicates that the camera's internal temperature is high. Image quality of still photos
may be worse when a white [ ] icon is displayed. If the red [ ] icon is displayed, it
indicates that the Live View shooting will soon stop automatically ( ).
It indicates that the camera's internal temperature is high. If the red [ ] icon is
displayed, it indicates that the movie recording will soon stop automatically ( ).
If the card's writing speed is slow, movie recording may stop automatically. For cards
that can record movies, see Card performance requirements. To find out the card's
writing speed, refer to the card manufacturer's website, etc.
If you record a movie for 29 min. 59 sec., the movie recording will stop automatically.
In shooting modes other than < >, the ISO speed is set automatically. In < >
mode, you can manually set the ISO speed ( ).
718
Expanded ISO speeds cannot be selected for movie recording.
If you change the shutter speed or aperture value during movie recording, the changes
in the exposure may be recorded.
Recording a few test movies is recommended if you intend to perform zooming during
movie recording. Zooming as you record movies may cause exposure changes or lens
sounds to be recorded, an uneven audio level, or loss of focus.
If you move the camera to the left or right (panning) or shoot a moving subject, the
image may look distorted.
Still photos cannot be taken during movie recording. To take still photos, stop the movie
recording and perform viewfinder shooting or Live View shooting.
719
Problems with wireless features
Other devices, such as computers, cannot be used with the camera by connecting them
with an interface cable while the camera is connected to devices via Wi-Fi. Terminate
the Wi-Fi connection before connecting the interface cable.
With a Wi-Fi connection established, operations such as shooting and playback may not
be possible. Terminate the Wi-Fi connection, then perform the operation.
Even with a combination of the same camera and smartphone, if you have changed the
settings or selected a different setting, reconnection may not be established even after
selecting the same SSID. In this case, delete the camera connection settings from the
Wi-Fi settings on the smartphone and set up a connection again.

722
In the viewfinder, the AF point display speed is slow.
In low temperatures, the display speed of the AF points may become slower due to the
AF point display device's (liquid crystal) characteristics. The display speed will return to
normal at room temperature.
723
Playback problems
The AF points are not displayed when the following types of images are played back:
• Images taken in < : > mode.
• Images taken in < : > mode.
• Images taken with Multi Shot Noise Reduction applied.
• Cropped images.
The camera may not be able to play back images taken with another camera.
Movies edited with a computer cannot be played back with the camera.
The images have been filtered for playback with [ : Set image search conditions]
( ). Clear the image search conditions.
The camera's built-in microphone will also record mechanical sounds of the lens or
sounds of camera/lens operations if AF operations are performed or the camera is
operated during movie recording. In this case, using an external microphone may
reduce these sounds. If the sounds are still distracting with an external microphone, it
may be more effective to remove the external microphone from the camera and position
it away from the camera and lens ( ).
724
The movie appears to freeze momentarily.
If there is a drastic change in the exposure level during autoexposure movie recording,
the recording will stop momentarily until the brightness stabilizes. In such a case, shoot
in the < > mode ( ).
Make sure [ : Video system] is set to [For NTSC] or [For PAL] correctly for the video
system of your television.
Make sure the HDMI cable's plug is inserted all the way in ( ).
If the movie file size reaches 4 GB, another movie file will be created automatically ( ).
However, if you use an SDXC card formatted with the camera, you can record a movie
in a single file even if it exceeds 4 GB.
Depending on the card reader used and the computer's operating system, SDXC cards
may not be correctly recognized. In this case, either connect the camera to a computer
with an interface cable (sold separately) and use EOS Utility (EOS software, ) or
connect the camera to a computer via Wi-Fi ( ) to import the images on the camera.
With this camera, you cannot resize JPEG and RAW images ( ).

AF Sensor
The camera's AF sensor has 45 AF points. AF sensor patterns formed by the AF points are
as follows. High-precision AF centered in the viewfinder is possible using lenses with a
maximum aperture up to f/2.8.
Warning
The number of available AF points, the focusing patterns, and the Area AF frame
shape vary by lens. For details, refer to Compatible Lenses and Autofocusing
(Viewfinder Shooting).

Warning
Although the camera has 45 AF points, lenses are classified into 8 groups (A–H)
which vary in the number of AF points available, AF point patterns, Area AF
frame shapes, and other details.
Using a lens in Groups E to H will have fewer usable AF points.
Lens groups are listed in Group Classification of Lenses. Check which group
your lens belongs to.
The number of AF points varies depending on your specified Still Image Aspect
Ratio.
746
Note
AF points in positions indicated by [ ] blink when the < > or < > button is
pressed (while [ / ] points remain lit). For details on AF point blinking/
illumination, see Meaning of Lit or Blinking AF Points.
For updates on “Group Classification of Lenses,” visit the Canon website or others.
Some lenses may not be available in certain countries or regions.
Group A
Autofocusing with 45 points is possible. All the AF area selection modes are available.
: Dual cross-type AF point. Offers superior subject tracking and higher focusing precision
than other AF points.

Group E
Autofocusing with 35 points is possible. (Not possible with all 45 AF points.) All the AF area
selection modes are available. During automatic AF point selection, the outer frame marking
the AF area (Area AF frame) will be different from 45-point Automatic selection AF.
749
Group F
Autofocusing with 35 points is possible. (Not possible with all 45 AF points.) All the AF area
selection modes are available. During automatic AF point selection, the outer frame marking
the AF area (Area AF frame) will be different from 45-point Automatic selection AF.
750
Group G
Autofocusing with 27 points is possible. (Not possible with all 45 AF points.) Large Zone AF
(manual selection of zone) cannot be selected in AF area selection mode. During automatic
AF point selection, the outer frame marking the AF area (Area AF frame) will be different
from 45-point Automatic selection AF.
Group H
Caution
If the maximum aperture value is slower than f/5.6 (greater than f/5.6 but not
exceeding f/8), focus may not be achieved with AF when shooting low-contrast or
low-light subjects.
If the maximum aperture value is slower than f/8 (greater than f/8), AF is not
possible during viewfinder shooting.
