    When you use the IS lens’ built-in Image Stabilizer, camera shake is 
    corrected to obtain a sharper shot. The procedure explained here is 
    based on the EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens as an example.
    * IS stands for Image Stabilizer.
    1Set the IS switch to .
     Also set the camera’s power switch to 
    .
    2Press the shutter button halfway.
    XThe Image Stabilizer will operate.
    3Take the picture.
      When the picture looks steady in the 
    viewfinder, press the shutter button 
    completely to take the picture.
    About the Lens Image Stabilizer
     The Image Stabilizer cannot correct  “subject blur”, when the subject 
    moves at the time of exposure.
      For bulb exposures, set the IS switch to < 2>. If < 1> is set, Image 
    Stabilizer misoperation may occur.
      The Image Stabilizer may no t be effective for excessive shaking such as 
    on a rocking boat.
      The Image Stabilizer can operate with  the lens focus mode switch set to 
    either < AF> or < MF>.
      When using a tripod, you  can still shoot with the IS switch set to  
    with no problem. However,  to save battery power, setting the IS switch to 
     is recommended.
      The Image Stabilizer is effective ev en when the camera is mounted on a 
    monopod.
      Some IS lenses enable y ou to switch the IS mode manually to suit the 
    shooting conditions. However, the fo llowing lenses switch the IS mode 
    automatically:
    • EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II • EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM
    • EF-S15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM • EF-S18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS

    Turn the dioptric adjustment 
    knob.
     Turn the knob left or right until the 
    nine AF points in the viewfinder look 
    sharp.
    To obtain sharp images,  hold the camera still to minimize camera shake.
    1. Wrap your right hand around the camera grip firmly.
    2. Hold the lens bottom with your left hand.
    3. Rest your hand’s right index fi nger lightly on the shutter button.
    4. Press your arms and elbows lightly against the front of your body.
    5. 
    To maintain a stable stance, place  one foot slightly ahead of the other.6. Press the camera against your fa ce and look through the viewfinder.
    Basic Operation
    Adjusting the Viewfinder Clarity
    Holding the Camera
    If the camera’s dioptric adjustment still cannot provide a sharp viewfinder 
    image, using E-series Dioptric Ad justment Lenses (10 types, sold 
    separately) is recommended.

    Basic Operation
    The shutter button has two steps. You can press the shutter button halfway. Then you can further press the shutter button completely.
    Pressing halfway
    This activates autofocusing and the 
    automatic exposure system that sets the 
    shutter speed and aperture.
    The exposure setting (shutter speed and 
    aperture) is displayed in the viewfinder 
    (0 ).
    Pressing completely
    This releases the shutter and takes the 
    picture.
    Preventing Camera Shake
    Hand-held camera movement during th e moment of exposure is called 
    camera shake. It can cause blurred pictures. To prevent camera shake, 
    note the following:
    • Hold and steady the camera as shown on the preceding page.
    • Press the shutter button halfway to  autofocus, then slowly press the 
    shutter button completely.
    Shutter Button
      If you press the shutter bu tton completely without pressing it halfway first 
    or if you press the shutter button ha lfway and then press it completely 
    immediately, the camera will take a  moment before it takes the picture.
      Even during menu displa y, image playback, or image recording, you can 
    instantly go back to shooting-ready  by pressing the shutter button 
    halfway.

    If the card is new or was previously formatted by another camera or 
    computer, format the card with the camera. When the card is formatted, all images and data in the card will 
    be erased. Even protected  images will be erased, so make 
    sure there is nothing you need to keep. If necessary, transfer 
    the images to a computer, etc ., before formatting the card.
    1Select [Format card].

    3 Formatting the Card
     The card is new.
      The card was formatted by a diff erent camera or a computer.
      The card is full with images or data.
      A card-related error is displayed  (p.331).
     Execute [Format card]  in the following cases:
    About Low-level Formatting
     Perform low-level formatti ng if the card’s recording or reading speed seems 
    slow or if you want to tota lly erase all data in the card.
      Since low-level formatting will format  all recordable sectors in the card, the 
    formatting will take slightly  longer than normal formatting.
      You can stop the low-level  formatting by selecting [Cancel]. Even in this 
    case, normal formatting  will be completed and yo u can use the card as 
    usual.
      When the card is formatted or data  is erased, only the file management 
    information is changed. The actual  data is not completely erased. Be 
    aware of this when selling or disc arding the card. When discarding the 
    card, execute low-level formatting or destroy the card physically to 
    prevent the personal da ta from being leaked.
      Before using a ne w Eye-Fi card, the software  in the card must be 
    installed in your comp uter. Then format the card with the camera.
     The card capacity displa yed on the card format screen may be smaller 
    than the capacity in dicated on the card.
