R: Selecting the Drive Mode
6: Single: Silent shooting
The shooting sound for single shooting is quieter than < u>. 
The internal mechanical operat ion is not executed until you 
return the shutter button to its halfway position.
K : Super high speed continuous shooting
(Max. approx.14 shots/sec.)
If you append a checkmark < X> to [ V: 14fps super high 
speed ] under [ 83: Restrict drive modes ], you can use Super 
high speed continuous shoo ting (p.326). When Super high 
speed continuous shooting is set, < H> will blink on the top LCD 
panel. On the LCD monitor, < V> will be displayed.
While you hold down the shutter  button completely, shots will be 
taken continuously. Since continuous shooting is done with the 
mirror locked up, the focus will  be fixed during shooting and 
images will be recorded in JPEG. If  RAW or RAW+JPEG is set, it 
will switch automatically to < o> (High-speed continuous 
shooting).
  o : The maximum continuous shooting  speed of approx. 12 shots/sec. 
is attained under the fo llowing conditions*:  At ISO 25600 or lower, 1/
1000 sec. or faster sh utter speed, and at the maximum aperture (varies 
depending on the lens).  The continuous shooting  speed may be slower 
depending on the ISO speed, sh utter speed, aperture, subject 
conditions, brightness, lens type, flash use, etc.
* With the AF mode set to One-Shot  AF and the Image Stabilizer turned 
off when using the fo llowing lenses: EF300 mm f/4L IS USM, EF28-
135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM, EF75 -300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM, EF100-
400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM.
  K : The maximum continuous shooting  speed of approx. 14 shots/
sec. is attained at the following cond itions; 1/1000 sec or faster shutter 
speed.
  If [Auto AF pt sel.: EOS iTR AF ] is set to [Enable] (p.95), the 
continuous shooting speed will decrease under low light  conditions, such 
as indoors.

Use the self-timer when you want to be in the picture.
1Press the  button. (9 )
2Select the self-timer.
 While looking at the top LCD panel, 
turn the < 5> dial to select the self-
timer.
k : 10-sec. self-timer
l : 2-sec. self-timer
3Take the picture.
 Look through the viewfinder, focus 
the subject, then press the shutter 
button completely.
X You can check the self-timer 
operation with the self-timer lamp and 
the countdown display (in seconds) 
on the top LCD panel.
X The lamp’s blinking will become 
faster two seconds before the picture 
is taken.
j Using the Self-timer
If you do not look  through the viewfind er when you press the shutter button, 
close the eyepiece shutter  before shooting (p.179). If stray light enters the 
viewfinder when the pict ure is taken, it may throw off the exposure.
 The < l> enables you to shoot while no t touching the camera mounted 
on a tripod. This prevents  camera shake when you sh oot still lifes or bulb 
exposures.
  After taking self-timer shots, play ing back the image (p.246) to check 
focus and exposure  is recommended.
  When using the self-timer to shoot only  yourself, use focus lock (p.67) on 
an object at about the same dist ance as where you will stand.
  To cancel the self-timer after it  starts, set the power switch to < 2>.

  Rec. separately
You can set the image size for each  card (p.117). Each image is 
recorded to both Card f  and Card g at the image-recording 
quality you have set. You can freely set the image size to  3 and  1 
or  5  and  61 , etc.
  Rec. to multiple
Each image is recorded to both Card  f and Card  g at the same 
image-recording quality you have  set. You can also select 
RAW+JPEG.
When [Rec. separately] is set, the maximum burs t will decrease (p.120).
When [Rec. separately] or [Rec. to multiple] is set, the image will be 
recorded under the same f ile number to both Card f and Card  g. Also, 
the top LCD panel will display the numb er of possible shots of the card 
having the lower number. If one  of the cards becomes full, [Card* full ] will 
be displayed and shooting  will be disabled. If this happens, either replace 
the card or set the re cording method to [Standard] or [Auto switch card ] 
and select the card with remaining space to continue shooting.

quality 8, ISO 100, and  Standard Picture Style).  These figures will vary 
depending on the subject,  card brand, ISO speed, Picture Style, Custom 
Functions, and other settings.
