Cautions
[White balance]
8. When WB-BKT is set, the shots remaining will
decrease to about one-third of the normal
quantity.
9. When using the specified color temperature
in ambient light having an adverse color cast,
set the white balance correction by adjusting
the green or amber bias.
10. If you enter in the camera the color
temperature reading (to specify the
color temperature) taken with a
commerciallyavailable color temperature
meter, you might not obtain the correct
white balance.
[AF]
11. With the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM attached
with an Extender, use the center AF point to
focus.
12. During continuous shooting with automatic
AF point selection and AI SERVO AF, when
the subject moves to another AF point, the
continuous shooting speed may become
irregular.
[Flash]
13. Regardless of the C.Fn-09 setting, the FEB
sequence will follow the Speedlite's setting.
14. With EOS-dedicated Speedlites other than
the EX-series, autoflash is not possible.
15. Do not connect a 250V or higher high-
voltage flash unit to the PC terminal.
16. Do not connect a high-voltage flash unit to
the hot shoe.
[Interface]
17. Do not excessively bend or disassemble the
interfaceable.
18. Before displaying captured images on a TV
monitor, check whether it uses the NTSC or
PAL system.
Remarks
With WB-BKT, each shot yields three images.
The number of shooting times remaining is
displayed when WB-BKT is set.
Since the color temperature is based on a
blackbody locus, if the bad ambient light does
not conform to the blackbody locus, the correct
white balance will not be obtained.
The color temperature standard may differ
between the camera and color temperature
meter. The color temperature meter's reading
might also include a margin of error.
Focusing is possible with all the AF points.
However, the focusing precision cannot be
guaranteed with the AF points other than the
center AF point.
During focusing when the subject moves
to another AF point, focusing is disabled
momentarily. It then takes time to refocus again,
causing the irregular shooting speed. (The same
thing occurs with the EOS-1V.)
The C.Fn-09 setting applies only to AEB and
WBBKT.
This is because it does not have a flash exposure
sensor for A-TTL/TTL. In the A-TTL/TTL mode,
the flash fires at full output.
A voltage of 250V or higher will damage the PC
terminal's internal circuitry.
It may not fire.
Malfunction may result due to cable
disconnection or short-circuiting.
If the TV monitor uses a different system, the
images will not be displayed properly. (The
default setting is NTSC for the Japan and N.
America, and PAL for other countries.)
