NOTES NOTES

- Autofocus may not work well when the extended ISO/gain range is activated (A 67) and an ISO speed or
gain value in the extended range is selected.
- Autofocus may not work well when [/ Custom Picture] > [Main Settings] > [Gamma] is set to [Canon
Log], [Canon Log 2] or [Wide DR] (manually or through a preset custom picture setting).
- The point where the camera focuses may change slightly depending on shooting conditions, such as
subject, brightness and zoom position. Check the focus before resuming shooting.
• Autofocus may take longer in the following cases.
- When the frame rate set in the video configuration is set to 29.97P, 25.00P, 24.00P or 23.98P, or the
shooting frame rate for slow & fast motion recording is set to 30, 25 or 24 (fps).
- With some EF lenses, the camera may take longer to focus automatically or may not be able to focus
correctly. Visit your local Canon Web site for the latest information.
