Canon 80D Experience
pages 26-31 of the Canon EOS 80D Instruction Manual and explained in the following
chapter of this book. Also, read through the Canon manual at some point and attempt to
understand or absorb as much as possible. Yes, some of it may be complicated and
confusing at first, but this guide will explain and clarify the numerous buttons, controls,
menus, functions, and settings and explain how, when and why you will want to use
them in your photography. Also be sure to read and follow all the official use, safety,
and handling instructions and precautions explained in the manuals provided with the
camera and software, including those on pages 20-25 of the Canon EOS 80D
Instruction Manual. Additional cautions throughout the Canon manual are important to
read because they explain things such as the high internal temperature that the camera
can reach due to prolonged Live View / movie use, and how using a non-compatible
external flash can cause your camera to malfunction. Live View cautions are on pages
290-291 of the Canon 80D manual, and movie shooting cautions are on page 302.

Various settings of the 80D can be controlled in multiple ways: using the buttons and
dials on the camera body while reading the settings on the top LCD Panel or in the
Viewfinder, through the Quick Control Screen accessed with the [Q] Button or [Q] icon
on the Touch Screen and read on the rear LCD Monitor, in the menus accessed with
the Menu Button, or even by customizing the buttons and controls on the camera body
via the Custom Functions. Explore the options, which will be explained throughout this
guide, and find the ways that work most quickly and intuitively for you.
