Precautions

Before using the camera for an important event such as a wedding,be sure to take test shots to make sure the camera operatesproperly.EOS cameras have a lens mount fitted with electronic contacts fordedicated operation (autofocusing, exposure control, etc.) with EFlenses. Using a non-EF lens with an EOS camera may not result inproper camera or lens operation.Also, the warranty does not cover any camera malfunction ordamage occurring with the use of non-Canon accessories.

Attaching the Neck Strap

After insert ing the end of the neckstrap through the eyelet, insert the endthrough the clasp and under the outerstrap as shown in the figure. Pull thestrap to make sure it does not slip off.

5. lf the camera is not to be used for an extended period, remove thebattery. Store the camera in a well-venti lated, cool, dry place. Duringthe storage period, release the shutter a few times once in a while.

6 . Avo id s to r i ng t he camera i n a l abo ra to ry , cab ine t , e t c . , whe recorrosive chemicals are present.

7. lf the camera has not been used for an extended period or if thecamera is to be used for an important event, check all the cameraoperations yourself or take it to the nearest Canon Service Center.

LCD Panel

Over time, the camera's LCD panel indications may become light anddiff icult to read. lf this happens, have it replaced (at cost) by your nearestCanon Service Center.At low temperatures, the display response of the LCD panel may becomeslower. And at h igh temperatures, the d isplay may b lacken. In e i thercase, the display wil l return to normal at room temperature.

Handling Precautions

Lithium Battery

The camera operates on one 2CR5 lithium battery. Check the batterylevel in the following cases:1. After replacing the battery.2. After the camera has not been used for an extended period.3. The shutter does not release.4. The camera is being used in a low{emperature environment.5. Also note the following:

. Before install ing the battery, wipe the battery contacts to removef ingerpr ints and d i r t . This is to prevent faul ty connect ions andcorrosion.

. Never disassemble or recharge the battery. Also, never store thebat tery in h igh- temperature p laces or shor t c i rcu i t the bat terycontacts or toss the battery into a fire.

. Although the battery works well under low temperatures, batteryperformance may suffer slightly at freezing temperatures. In such acase, keep a spare battery warm in a pocket, etc., and use andwarm the batteries alternatelv.

Low Battery Power

When only the c: symbol blinks on the LCD panel, a picture can sti l l betaken at the proper exposure. However, there may not be enough batterypower to advance and rewind the fi lm automatically. Replace with a newbattery.

Lens

To avoid get t ing the lens sur face and e lect ronic contacts scratched,attach the rear lens cap to the detached lens or always put down the lenswith the rear end up.

Automatic Flash OperationIn the Full Auto mode o, Portrait mode \1 , or Close-up mode {U, thebuilt-in flash pops up and fires automatically for dark or backlit subjects.

->\- lf you do not want to use flash, use the Program AE (P) mode (page 50) or push--V. down the built-in flash (after it pops up all the way) while pressing the shutterbutton halfway.. lf the built-in flash is pushed down before it pops up completely, Cl will blink

on the LCD panel indicating an error. To cancel the error, press the shutterbutton halfway.

Red-Eye ReductionWhen flash is used, it may reflect off the subject's pupils and make theeyes look red in the photograph.The red-eye reduction feature helps reduce red eye with the red-eyereduction lamp which lights automatically to reduce the subject's pupildiameter and reduce the chances of red eye occurring.. Red-eye reduction can be set in any picture-taking mode. See page 66 to set the red-eye

reduction feature.

. For dark or backlit subjects, the built-in flashpops up and fires automatically.

Set the Command Dial to \1 .. The picture-taking procedure is the same as for

the Full Auto mode (page 24).

Head and shoulders shots result in the best background blur effect. Also, thefur lher away the subject is t rom the background, the more blurred thebackground will become.Using a telephoto lens also blurs the background turther. lf a zoom lens isused, use the longest focal length. (For example, a 28-80mm zoom lens set at80 mm.)

3. Landscape Mode (-r )

This is for sweeping scenery, sunsets,

Set the Command Dia l to l .. The picture-taking procedure is the same as fot

the Full Auto mode (page 24).

lf a zoom lens is attached, use the shortest focal length. (For example, a 28-80mm zoom lens set al 28 mm.) The resulting photograph will have much depthfrom the foreground to the background and a wide breadth.

lf the shutter speed display blinks, the shutter speed may be so slow that ablurred picture may result due to camera shake. Hold the camera steady or use atripod. (The shutter speed will still blink even while a tripod is used.)

The camera can autofocus in one of three modes: One-Shot AF, Al FocusAF, and Al Servo AF. Select the AF mode most suitable for the subject.

Tu rn t he AF mode d ia l and se t t hedesi red AF mode. The AF mode d ia lsettings are explained below.

One-Shot AFThis mode is suited for sti l l subjects. Since the picture cannot be takenunless the subject is focused, this mode helps prevent out-of{ocus shots.Pressing the shutter button halfway activates the autofocus. When theactive focusing point achieves focus, it f lashes in red and the in-focusindicator l ights in the viewfinder. The exposure is also set when focus isachieved.

5. When Autofocus Fails

The camera's AF system is highly precise and can focus most subjects.However, autofocus may not be achieved (the in{ocus indicator biinks)with certain subjects such as the following:

a. Very low contrast subjects.Ex.: Blue sky; single-color, flat surfaces, etc.

b. Extremely backlit, reflective subjects.Ex.: A highly-reflective car body.

c. Overlapping foreground and background subjects.Ex.: A caged animal.

In such cases, lock the focus on an object at the same distance as thesubject and recompose or focus manually as described below.

When focus is achieved manually, the active focusing point flashes in red and thein-focus indicator lights.

D 6. Eye-Controlled Autofocus Calibration

With Eye-Controlled Autofocus, you select the desired focusing point justby looking at it. The camera detects your eye movement and instantlysenses which focusing point your eye is looking at and focuses at thatpoint. However, since each person's eye differs depending on pupil size,contact lens or eyeglass use, etc., the eye movement characteristics mustbe registered to calibrate the Eye-Controlled Autofocus feature.

Eye-Control led Autofocus CalibrationThree cal ibrat ion set t ings (1 to 3) can be set and used. For example,calibration No. 1 can be used for your naked eye, No. 2 for when you usecontact lenses or eyeglasses, and No. 3 for another user's eye..

The three bracketed shots areexposed in the following sequence: correct exposure, underexposure, andoverexposure. The fi lm advances according to the current f i lm advancemode. (See "Film Advance Modes" on page 76.)Bracketing is helpful for obtaining the desired exposure, especially withreversal f i lm which has a narrow exoosure latitude.

High-Speed Sync (FP Flash)With Speedlite 380EX's high-speed sync switch set to lH, high-speedsync (focal-plane flash) is set automatically when the shutter speed set isfaster than 1/1 25 sec. Speedlite 380EX can then synchronize with allshutter speeds. When high-speed sync is in effect, "H" is displayed on theright of t in the viewfinder.High-speed sync is effective when you want to use fi l l- in f lash on thesubject and maintain background blur with a large aperture. Or, when youwant to produce a catchlight in the subject's eyes in daylight.. When high-speed sync is used, the Speedlite's Guide No. decreases. lf the ambient light is

insufticient, using high-speed sync may result in underexposure.. High-speed sync can be used only in Creative Zone modes. The normal sync speed is used

in Programmed lmage Control modes.

FE LockFE lock obtains and locks the correct f lash exoosure for the selectedportion of the scene.When Speedlite 380EX is used with the camera in a Creative Zone mode,the camera's AE lock button functions as an FE (Flash Exposure) lockbutton.
