Canon 80D Experience
Figure 4 - Swimming Duck, Arlington Mass. - Canon 80D, Shutter speed 1/250,
Aperture f/4.0, ISO 100, Exposure Compensation +2/3.
This guide is intended to be used with the camera in your hands. That is the best way to
directly follow and understand the controls, functions, and settings as they are being
explained. It is also intended to be used in conjunction with and in addition to the
camera's manuals, not to completely replace them, so every bit of information in the
Canon EOS 80D Instruction Manual and in the Wi-Fi manual will not be repeated here.
Among the often brief descriptions and sometimes frustratingly incomplete or disjointed
explanations in the Canon manuals, there is some very valuable information as well as
the basics for buttons, controls, and how to access and change most all the settings.
Following what seems to be a new trend, the camera does not come with printed
versions of the full Instruction Manual, the full Wi-Fi Function Instruction Manual, or the
software instruction manuals - only the PDF versions of them which can be found on the
included discs. All of these manuals can also be obtained as a PDF files from the EOS
80D page on the Canon website, under the Manuals tab, then the Guides and Manuals
sub-tab:

If you have an iPad or tablet you will find that it is helpful to download all the manuals
onto your device for reading and reference (along with this e-book). As you can see,
there is a lot to make sense of regarding terminology and controls, so I recommend that
you familiarize yourself with the controls and displays of the camera body, as shown on
