⑵Basic operation
●Startup time
Fast startup time taking approx. 0.2 sec. for the camera to be able to shoot after the
power switch is turned on.
●Basic operation
Except for the cross keys assigned with functions
such as the ISO speed setting, the basic camera
controls are the same as with the EOS KISS DIGITAL
N. The camera setting screen (Fig. 021 and 022) has
an easy-to-read interface with the current active mode
highlighted.
Cross key function assignments
The cross keys assigned with functions (ISO speed, AF mode, white balance, and
metering mode settings) in the Creative Zone modes each display a dedicated screen
(Fig. 022) for selecting the desired setting. This is an improvement over the EOS KISS
DIGITAL N whose cross keys worked as a short-cut button to display the respective
menu. The desired setting can be selected by using the cross key or main dial to select
the setting or mode, and then pressing the shutter button halfway. The camera setting
display will then reappear. Pressing the shutter button fully captures the image with
the selected setting or mode in effect. This is similar to the EOS 30D's operation.
About the 〈DISP〉 button
The 〈DISP〉 button turns the camera setting display on or off. However, if you press
the button while a menu is displayed or during image playback, it works in the same
way as EOS KISS DIGITAL N's 〈INFO〉 button.
In other words, if you press the 〈DISP〉 button while the menu is displayed, the
camera setting display (Fig. 023) will appear. And if you press the 〈DISP〉 button
during image playback, the shooting data will be displayed. During direct printing, the
button toggles between a horizontal and vertical trimming frame.
