Page 108: F: Changing The Depth Of Field
f: Changing the Depth of Field To blur the background or to make everything near and far look sharp, set the Mode Dial to <f> (Aperture-priority AE) to adjust the depth of field (range of acceptable focus). * <f> stands for Aperture value, which is the size of the diaphragm hole inside the lens.
Page 109 f: Changing the Depth of Field Shooting Tips When using an aperture with a high f/number or shooting in low  light scenes, note that camera shake can occur. A higher aperture f/number will make the shutter speed slower. Under low light, the shutter speed can be as long as 30 sec. In such cases, increase the ISO speed and hold the camera steady or use a tripod.
Page 110: Depth-Of-Field Preview
f: Changing the Depth of Field D Using the Built-in Flash To obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be set automatically to match the set aperture (autoflash). The shutter speed will be set automatically between 1/200 sec. - 30 sec. to suit the scene’s brightness.
Page 111: A: Manual Exposure
a: Manual Exposure You can set both the shutter speed and aperture manually as desired. While referring to the exposure level indicator in the viewfinder, you can set the exposure as desired. This method is called manual exposure. * <a> stands for Manual. Set the Mode Dial to <a>.
Page 112 a: Manual Exposure I Using the Built-in Flash To obtain the correct flash exposure on the main subject, the flash output will be set automatically (autoflash) to match the manually-set aperture. The shutter speed can be set from 1/200 sec. to 30 sec. or to bulb.
Page 113: Changing The Metering Mode
q Changing the Metering ModeN Three methods (metering modes) to measure the subject’s brightness are provided. Normally, evaluative metering is recommended. In Basic Zone modes, metering mode is set automatically. Select [Metering mode]. Under the [z2] tab, select [Metering  mode], then press <0>.

Page 118: A Locking The Exposure
A Locking the ExposureN You can lock the exposure when the area of focus is to be different from the exposure metering area or when you want to take multiple shots at the same exposure setting. Press the <A> button to lock the exposure, then recompose and take the picture.
Page 119: A Locking The Flash Exposure
Use FE lock in such a case. After setting the flash output for the appropriate subject brightness, you can recompose (put the subject toward the side) and shoot. This feature can also be used with a Canon EX-series Speedlite. * FE stands for Flash Exposure.

Page 121: Auto Correction Of Brightness And Contrast (Auto Lighting Optimizer)
Auto Correction of Brightness and ContrastN If the image comes out dark or the contrast is low, the brightness and contrast can be corrected automatically. This function is called Auto Lighting Optimizer. The default setting is [Standard]. With JPEG images, the correction is applied when the image is captured. In Basic Zone modes, [Standard] is set automatically.
Page 122: Correcting The Image's Dark Corners
Correcting the Image’s Dark Corners Due to the lens characteristics, the four corners of the picture may look darker. This phenomenon is called lens light fall-off or drop in peripheral illumination and can be corrected. The default setting is [Enable]. With JPEG images, the correction is applied when the image is captured.
Page 123 Depending on shooting conditions, noise may appear on the image  periphery. When using a non-Canon lens, setting the corrections to [Disable] is  recommended even if [Correction data available] is displayed. If you use the magnified view during Live View shooting, the peripheral ...
Page 124: A Customizing Image Characteristics (Picture Style)

Page 125 A Customizing Image CharacteristicsN Parameter Settings and Effects Sharpness Adjusts the sharpness of the subject. To make it less sharp, set it toward the E end. The closer it is to E, the softer the image will look. To make it sharper, set it toward the F end. The closer it is to F, the sharper the image will look.
Page 126 A Customizing Image CharacteristicsN V Monochrome Adjustment For Monochrome, you can also set [Filter effect] and [Toning effect] in addition to [Sharpness] and [Contrast] explained on the preceding page. kFilter Effect With a filter effect applied to a monochrome image, you can make white clouds or green trees stand out more.
Page 127: A Registering Preferred Image Characteristics (Picture Style)
A Registering Preferred Image CharacteristicsN You can select a base Picture Style such as [Portrait] or [Landscape], adjust its parameters as desired and register it under [User Def. 1], [User Def. 2], or [User Def. 3]. You can create multiple Picture Styles with different settings for parameters such as sharpness and contrast.

Page 129: B: Matching The Light Source (White Balance)
B: Matching the Light SourceN The function adjusting the color tone so that white objects look white in the picture is called white balance (WB). Normally, the Auto [Q] (Ambience priority) or [Qw] (White priority) setting will obtain the correct white balance. If natural-looking colors cannot be obtained with Auto, you can select the white balance to match the light source or set it manually by shooting a white object.
Page 130 B: Matching the Light SourceN Q Setting the Auto White Balance With [Q] (Ambience priority), you can increase the intensity of the image’s warm color cast when shooting a tungsten-light scene. If you select [Qw] (White priority), you can reduce the intensity of the image’s warm color cast.
Page 131 B: Matching the Light SourceN O Custom White Balance Custom white balance enables you to manually set the white balance for a specific light source. Make sure to perform this procedure under the light source at the actual location of the shoot. Shoot a white object.
Page 132 B: Matching the Light SourceN Select [O (Custom)]. Press the <XB> button.  Select [O (Custom)], then press  <0>.

Page 133: Adjusting The Color Tone For The Light Source
u Adjusting the Color Tone for the Light SourceN You can correct the white balance that is set. This adjustment will have the same effect as using a commercially-available color temperature conversion filter or color compensating filter. Each color can be corrected to one of nine levels.
Page 134 u Adjusting the Color Tone for the Light SourceN White Balance Auto Bracketing With just one shot, three images with different color tones can be recorded simultaneously. Based on the color temperature of the current white balance setting, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bias or magenta/ green bias.
Page 135: Setting The Color Reproduction Range (Color Space)
Setting the Color Reproduction RangeN The range of reproducible colors is called “color space”. With this camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or Adobe RGB. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended. In Basic Zone modes, sRGB is set automatically. Select [Color space].
Page 137: Shooting With The Lcd Monitor
Shooting with the LCD Monitor (Live View Shooting) You can shoot while viewing the picture on the camera’s LCD monitor. This is called “Live View shooting”. Live View shooting is effective for still subjects which do not move. If you handhold the camera and shoot while viewing the LCD monitor, camera shake can cause blurred images.
