For self-timer shooting, see page 144. For remote control 
shooting, see page 237.
 o : The maximum continuous shooting speed of approx. 5.0 shots/sec. 
is attained under the following conditions*: 1/500 sec. or faster shutter 
speed, maximum aperture (varies depending on the lens), Anti-flicker 
shooting set to Disable, with a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E6N, and at 
room temperature (23°C/73°F). The continuous shooting speed may 
become slower depending on the shutter speed, aperture, subject 
conditions, brightness, lens, flash use, temperature, battery type, 
remaining battery level, etc.
* With the AF mode set to One-Shot AF and the Image Stabilizer turned off 
when using the following lenses: EF300mm 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.
 In AI Servo AF operation, the continuous shooting speed may become 
slower depending on the subject and the lens used.
 If you use Battery Pack LP-E6 and shoot in low temperatures (battery 
temperature is low), the high-speed continuous shooting speed may 
become slower.
 The continuous shooting speed may become slower if the remaining 
battery level is low or if you shoot under low-light conditions.
 If you use Battery Grip BG-E11 (sold separately) with AA/R6 batteries, 
the maximum continuous shooting speed will be approx. 3.0 fps for high-
speed continuous shooting.
 If you set [ z4: Anti-flicker shoot. ] to [Enable ] (p.191) and shoot under 
a flickering light source, the continuous shooting speed may decrease 
slightly, the shooting interval may become irregular, or the release 
timelag may become longer.
 If  or < M> is set, the time lag from when you press the shutter 
button completely until the picture is shot will be longer than standard.
 If the [5 1: Record func+card/folder sel. ] menu’s [Record func.] is set 
to [Rec. separately ] (p.146) and the recording quality setting for the CF 
card [ f] and SD card [ g] is different, the maximum burst (p.151) will 
decrease.
 When internal memory becomes full during continuous shooting, the 
continuous shooting speed may drop dur ing shooting since shooting will 
be temporally disabled (p.153).

Q : 10-sec. self-timer
k : 2-sec. self-timer
3Take the picture.
Look through the viewfinder, focus on 
the subject, then press the shutter 
button completely.
 You can check the self-timer 
operation with the self-timer lamp, 
beeper, and countdown display (in 
seconds) on the LCD panel.
 2 sec. before the picture is taken, the 
self-timer lamp will light up and the 
beeper will sound faster.
j Using the Self-timer
 The  enables you to shoot while not touching the camera 
mounted on a tripod. This prevents  camera shake when you shoot still 
lifes or long exposures.
 After taking self-timer shots, playing back the image (p.320) to check 
focus and exposure is recommended.
 When using the self-timer to shoot yourself, use focus lock (p.83) on an 
object at the same distance as where you will stand.
 To cancel the self-timer, press the < o> button.
If you do not look through the viewfinder when you press the shutter button, 
attach the eyepiece cover (p.236). If stray light enters the viewfinder when 
the picture is taken, it may throw off the exposure.

Standard
Images will be recorded to the card selected with [ Record/play].
 Auto switch card
Same as with the [ Standard] setting, but if the card becomes full, 
the camera will automatically switch to the other card to record 
images. When the card is automatically switched, a new folder will 
be created.
 Rec. separately
You can set the image-recording quality for each card (p.149). Each 
image is recorded to both the CF and SD cards at the image-
recording quality you set. You can freely set the image-recording 
quality, such as to  73 and 1 , or c and 41 .
 Rec. to multiple
Each image is recorded to both the CF and SD cards simultaneously 
at the same image size. You can also select RAW+JPEG.
 If [Rec. separately] is set and different recording qualities are set for the 
CF card and SD card, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will 
decrease (p.151).
 Even if [ Record func. ] is set to [Rec. to multiple ], movies cannot be 
recorded to both the CF card and SD card at the same time. If [ Rec. 
separately ] or [Rec. to multiple ] is set, the movie will be recorded to the 
card which is set for [ Playback].
[Rec. separately] and [Rec. to multiple]
The same file number is used for recording to both the CF card and SD 
card.
 The LCD panel will display the number 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 
[ Record func. ] to [Standard ] or [Auto switch card ], and select the card 
with remaining capacity to continue shooting.
