A Fully Automatic Shooting (Scene Intelligent Auto)
The beeper continues to beep softly. (The focus indicator <o>
does not light up.)
It indicates that the camera is focusing continuously on a moving
subject. (The focus indicator <o> does not light up.) You can take
sharp pictures of a moving subject.
Note that focus lock (p.79) will not work in this case.
Pressing the shutter button halfway does not focus the subject.
If the focus mode switch on the lens is set to <MF> (manual focus),
set it to <AF> (autofocus).
The shutter speed display is blinking.
Since it is too dark, taking the picture may result in a blurred subject
due to camera shake. Using a tripod or a Canon EX-series Speedlite
(sold separately, p.155) is recommended.
When the external flash was used, the bottom part of the
picture came out unnaturally dark.
If a hood is attached to the lens, it may obstruct the flash light. If the
subject is close, detach the hood before taking the picture with flash.
Minimizing Blurred Photos
Silent single shooting (p.117), Single shooting in Live View shooting,
etc. are effective. Mirror lockup is also effective when the shooting
mode is set to one of the Creative Zone modes.
For continuous shooting, using Silent continuous shooting (p.117) or
Live View continuous shooting is effective.
Use a sturdy tripod that can bear the weight of the shooting
equipment. Mount the camera securely on the tripod.
Using a remote switch or a remote controller is recommended.
