P Multiple Exposures N
 Are there any restrictions on the image-recording quality?
All JPEG image-recording qualit y settings can be selected. If 41 
or  61  is set, the merged multiple-exposure will be a  1 image.
  Can I merge images recorded on the card?
With [Select image for multi. expo. ], you can select the first single 
exposure from the images recorded on the card (p.179). Note that 
you cannot merge multiple images already recorded on the card.
  Are multiple exposures possible with Live View shooting?
Shooting multiple exposures is also possible with Live View shooting 
(p.215). Note that [A 1: Aspect ratio] will be fixed at [ 3:2].
  Will auto power off take effect during multiple-exposure 
shooting?
As long as [5 2: Auto power off ] is not set to [Disable], the power 
will turn off automatically after 30 min. of non-operation. If the auto 
power off takes effect, multiple-exposure shooting will end, and 
multiple-exposure settings will be canceled.
Before starting the multiple-exposure shooting, the auto power off 
will take effect as set with the camera, and multiple-exposure 
settings will be canceled.

Although using the self-timer or a remote switch can prevent camera 
shake, using mirror lockup to prevent camera vibrations (mirror shock) 
can also help when you use a super  telephoto lens or shoot close ups 
(macro photography).
1 Set [Mirror lockup] to [Enable].
 Under the [z2] tab, select [Mirror lockup ], then press .
 Select [Enable ], then press .
2 Focus the subject, then press the shutter button 
completely.
X The mirror will swing up.
3 Press the shutter button completely again.
XThe picture is taken and the mirror goes back down.
2  Mirror Lockup N
 In very bright light, such as at the beach or a sk i slope on a sunny day, 
take the picture prompt ly after mirror lockup.
  Do not point the camera  toward the sun. The sun’s heat can scorch and 
damage the shutter curtains.
  If you use the self-timer and bulb ex posure in combination with a mirror 
lockup, keep pressing the shutter bu tton completely (self-timer delay 
time + bulb exposure time ). If you let go of the shutter button during the 
self-timer countdown, there will  be a shutter-release sound, but no 
picture will be taken.
  During mirror lockup, shooting func tion settings and menu operations, 
etc. are disabled.
 Even if the drive mode is set to continuo us shooting, only one shot can be taken. You can also use the self-t imer with mirror lockup.
  If 30 seconds elapse after the mirror  has locked up, it will go back down 
automatically. Pressing the  shutter button completely again locks up the 
mirror again.
  For mirror lockup, usin g Remote Switch RS-60E 3 (sold separately) is 
recommended (p.184).
  You can also use a remote  controller (sold separately, p.184). Setting the 
remote controller to a 2-s ec. delay is recommended.

When you use the self-timer, bulb, or a remote switch and do not look 
through the viewfinder, stray light en tering the viewfinder can cause the 
image to look dark. To prevent th is, use the eyepiece cover (p.27) 
attached to the camera strap.
During Live View shooting and movi e shooting, attaching the eyepiece 
cover is unnecessary.
1Detach the eyecup.
 Push the bottom of the eyecup to 
detach.
2Attach the eyepiece cover.
 Slide the eyepiece cover down into 
the eyepiece groove to attach it.
  After you finish shooting, detach the 
eyepiece cover and attach the 
eyecup.

R Remote Control Shooting
With Remote Controller RC-6 (sold separately), you 
can shoot remotely up to approx. 5 meters/16.4 feet 
from the camera. You can either shoot immediately or 
use a 2-sec. delay.
You can also use Remote  Controller RC-1 and RC-5.

  Fluorescent or LED lighting may ca use camera misoperation by 
triggering the shutter inadvertently.  Try to keep the camera away from 
such light sources.
  If you point a remote controller for a  TV set toward the camera and 
operate it, it may cause camera mis operation by triggering the shutter 
inadvertently.
Remote control shooting is also possible with device s such as an EX-series 
Speedlite equipped with a remote-release function.

Flash Photography
This chapter explains how to use the built-in flash and 
external Speedlites (EX-series, sold separately), how to 
set flash settings with th e menu, and how to use the 
built-in flash for wireless flash shooting.
Flash cannot be used  with movie shooting. (It will not fire.)

In Creative Zone modes, just press the 
 button to raise the built-in flash for 
flash photography. To retract the built-in 
flash, push it back down with your fingers.
In Basic Zone modes (except   
< 5 >  modes), the built-in flash will 
be raised and fire automatically in low-light and backlit conditions.
In the < A>     modes, you have the option to fire 
the flash or not.
The table below shows the shutter  speed and aperture settings that will 
be used with flash.

To obtain a correct flash exposure, the  flash output will be set automatically 
(autoflash exposure) to match the manually-set aper ture. The shutter speed 
will be set automatically  between 1/250 sec. - 30 se c. to suit the scene’s 
brightness.
In low light, the main subj ect is exposed with the automatic flash, and the 
background is exposed with  a slow shutter speed set automatically. Both the 
subject and background lo ok properly exposed (automatic slow-speed flash 
sync). If you are handholdin g the camera, keep it steady to prevent camera 
shake. Using a tripod is recommended.
To prevent a slow sh utter speed, under [z2: Flash control ], set [Flash 
sync. speed in Av mode ] to [1/250-1/60 sec. auto ] or [1/250 sec. (fixed) ] 
(p.196).

the picture looks dark, usin g an external Speedlite (sold separately, p.193) is 
recommended.
  When you use the built-in flash, detac h any lens hood and keep at least 
1 meter/3.3 feet away  from the subject.
  If the lens has a hood attached or if  you are too close to the subject, the 
bottom of the picture  might look dark due to  the obstructed flash.

 The red-eye reduction feature is most  effective when the subject looks at 
the red-eye reduction lamp, when the  room is well lit, or when you are 
close to the subject.
  When you press th e shutter button halfway, the scale 
display on the bottom of the  viewfinder will shrink and 
turn off. For best  results, take the picture after this
