• EOS cameras have a lens mount for dedicated operation (autofocusing, exposure control, etc.) with Canon EF lenses. Using a non-Canon EF lens with an EOS camera may not result in proper camera or lens operation. Note that the warranty does not cover any camera malfunction or damage occurring with the use of non-Canon products. -

Page 14: Installing The Batteries And Checking The Battery Level
Installing the Batteries and Checking the Battery Level Installing the Batteries The camera uses two CR2 lithium batteries. For places where CR2 batteries may not be easily available, take spare bat- teries with you. Also carry spare batteries for extended shooting sessions. Open the battery compartment cover. -

Page 17: How The Shutter Button Works
How the Shutter Button Works The EOS camera’s shutter button can be depressed halfway or all the way. There is a click stop at the halfway point. Pressing the Shutter Button Halfway or Fully The shutter button works as described below. If an Extender is used and the maximum aperture of the lens becomes small- er than f/5.6 (the lowest f/number), autofocusing will not operate. -
Page 18: Loading And Unloading Film
Loading and Unloading Film Loading Film After you load the film, the camera first winds the entire roll onto the camera’s take-up spool. With DX-coded film, the camera automatically sets the film’s ISO speed. Then each time a picture is taken, one frame of film is rewound back into the film cartridge. -
Page 19: Checking The Film Speed
• The shutter curtains have been manufactured with very high precision. Never touch them with your fingers. When loading film, do not touch or dam- age the curtains with your fingers or film. • In hot and humid environments, do not remove the film packaging until you are ready to load the film. -
Page 20: Midroll Rewind
Loading and Unloading Film Midroll Rewind To rewind the film in midroll, follow the procedure below. If you take out the film cartridge in midroll without rewinding the film and then load a new roll of film and press the shutter button completely, the new film will only rewind into the cartridge. -

Page 23: Af-Assist Beam With The Built-In Flash
If the built-in flash’s automatic pop-up action is obstructed accidentally, the < > icon will blink on the LCD panel as a warning. If this happens, press the shutter button halfway to return the camera to normal operation. • When focus is achieved, the autofocus and auto exposure setting will also be locked. -
Page 24: Programmed Image Control Modes
Programmed Image Control Modes Select a shooting mode to suit the target subject, and the camera will be set to obtain the best results. Portrait Landscape Close-up This mode blurs the background to make the human subject stand out. • Holding down the shutter button executes con- tinuous shooting. -

Sports Night Portrait Flash off In the < > mode, use a tripod to prevent camera shake. In the < < > mode, use a tripod if the shutter speed display blinks. This is for sports and fast-moving subjects when you want to freeze the action on film. •... -
Page 26: Using Red-Eye Reduction
Using Red-eye Reduction When flash is used in a low-light environment, the subject’s eyes may come out red in the photograph. “Red eye” happens when the light from the flash reflects off the retina of the eyes. The camera’s red-eye reduc- tion feature turns on the red-eye reduction lamp to shine a gentle light into the subject’s eyes to narrow the pupil diameter or iris. -
Page 27: Using The Self-Timer
Using the Self-timer The self-timer is useful when you want to be in the picture. It can be used in Basic Zone and Creative Zone modes. You should use a tripod. Do not stand in front of the camera when you start the self-timer. Doing so will throw off the focus. -
Page 28: Wireless Remote Control (Date Model Only)
Wireless Remote Control With Remote Controller RC-1 (optional), wireless operation is possible up to 5 meters away from the front of the camera. Remote control sensor Certain types of fluorescent lights might cause the remote control operation to work improperly. Place the camera away from any fluorescent lights as far as possible. If you set the film advance mode lever to utes, the wireless remote control mode will be canceled automatically to save battery power. -

Page 38: Shutter-Priority Ae
:Shutter-Priority AE In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera sets the aper- ture automatically to suit the brightness of the scene. A fast shutter speed can freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject. Or, a slow shutter speed can blur the subject to give the impression of motion. - Page 39 Shutter Speed Display • The shutter speed can be set and displayed in full and half stops.

Page 40: Aperture-Priority Ae
:Aperture-Priority AE In this mode, you set the aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the brightness of the subject. A large aperture (lower f/number) will blur the background and make the subject stand out. The larger the aperture, the more blurred the back- ground will look. -
Page 41: Depth-Of-Field Preview Button

Page 42: Manual Exposure
:Manual Exposure In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and the aperture for total exposure control. The exposure level of the shutter speed and aperture you set is indicated on the exposure level scale. You can thereby check how suitable the exposure will be. -
Page 43: Automatic Depth-Of-Field Ae
:Automatic Depth-of-Field AE This mode is for obtaining a wide depth of field automatically between a near subject and far subject. It is effective for group photos and landscapes. The camera uses the 7 AF points to detect the nearest and farthest sub- jects to be in focus. -
Page 44: Ae Lock
AE Lock With the same AF point, you can obtain and lock the auto exposure set- ting on one part of the picture and then recompose to focus a different part of the picture. AE lock enables you to maintain the same exposure setting even after recomposing the shot. -
Page 45: Exposure Compensation
:Exposure Compensation Changing the exposure level set by the camera is called exposure compen- sation. Exposure compensation can be used to make the picture darker or brighter intentionally. Exposure compensation can be set up to + / – 2 stops in half-stop increments. -
Page 46: Auto Exposure Bracketing (Aeb)
Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) With AEB, the camera automatically changes the exposure within the set range (up to + / – 2 stops in 1/2-stop increments) for three successive frames. AEB amount AEB range Correct exposure Decreased exposure Increased exposure AEB cannot be used with flash or bulb exposures. -
Page 47: Bulb Exposures
Bulb Exposures A bulb exposure starts when you press the shutter button fully and ends when you release the shutter button. Bulb exposures are useful when long exposures are required for night scenes, fireworks, astronomical photogra- phy, etc. • Remote Switch RS-60E3 (optional) is recommended for bulb exposures. •... -
Page 48: Multiple Exposures
Multiple Exposures By not advancing the film after taking a picture, up to nine exposures can be shot on a single frame. Three multiple exposures have been set above. If you shoot multiple exposures on the first few or last few frames of a roll, the multiple exposures might not be precisely aligned due to the film curling. -

Reference Basic Photography Terms Exposure Exposure occurs when the film is exposed to light. Correct exposure is obtained when the film is exposed to a proper amount of light in accor- dance with the film’s sensitivity to light. The correct exposure is adjusted with the camera’s shutter speed and lens aperture. -
