43 Basic Shooting and Image Playback This chapter explains how to use the Basic Zone modes on the Mode Dial for best re sults and how to playback images. With the Basic Zone modes , all you do is point and shoot and the camera sets everything automatically (p.
44 1 Set the Mode Dial to < 1 >. 2 Aim any AF point over the subject. All the AF points will be used to focus, and generally the closest object will be focused. Aiming the center AF point over the subject will make focusing easier . 3 Focus the subject.
45 1 Fully Automatic Shooting The focus confirmation light < o > blinks and focus is not achieved. Aim the AF point over an area ha ving good contrast, then press the shutter button halfway (p.192). If you are too close to the subject, move away and try again.
46 Depending on the scene, position the subj ect toward the left or right to create a balanced background and good perspective. In the < 1 > (Full Auto) mode, while you press the shutter button halfway to focus a still subject, t he focus will be locked.
47 The < 2 > (Portrait) mode blurs the background to make the human subject stand out. It also makes flesh tones and the hair look softer than with the < 1 > (Full Auto) mode. The farther the distance between the subject and background, the better .
48 Use the < 3 > (Landscape) mode for wide sce nery , night scenes, or to have everything in focus from near to far . The greens and blues also become more vivid and sharper than with < 1 > (Full Auto). With a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end.
49 When you want to photograph flowers or small things up close, use the < 4 > (Close-up) mode. T o make small things appear much larger , use a macro lens (sold separately). Use a simple background. A simple background makes the flower , etc., stand out better .
50 T o photograph a moving subject, wh ether it is a child running or a moving vehicle, use the < 5 > (S ports) mode. Use a telephoto lens. Using a telephoto lens is recomm ended so you can shoot from afar . Use the center AF point to focus. Aim the center AF point over th e subject, then press the shutter button halfway to auto focus.
51 T o shoot someone at night and obtain a natural-looking exposure in the background, use the < 6 > (Night Portrait) mode. Use a wide-angle lens and a tripod. When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to obtain a wide night view . Also, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
52 In places where flash photograp hy is prohibited, use the < 7 > (Flash Off) mode. This mode is also ef fe ctive for candlelight scenes when you want to capture the ambient light. If the numeric display in the vi ewfinder blinks, take care to prevent camera shake.
53 Basic Zone modes except < C > (Creative Auto) take care of everything, whereas the < C > Creative Auto mode enables you to easily change the picture’s brightness, depth of field, color tone (Picture S tyle), etc. The default settings are the same as the < 1 > (Full Auto) mode.
C Creative Auto Shooting 54 (1) Flash firing < a > (Auto firing), < D > (Flash on), or < b > (Flash off) can be selected. If you set < b > (Flash off), see “Disabling Flash” on p age 52. (2) Blurring/sharpening the background If you move the index mark toward the left, the background will look more blurred.
55 C Creative Auto Shooting (4) Image effects Besides the standard image effect, you can set it for portrait s, landscapes, or black-and-white photos. (p.73: Picture S tyle) < P > (S tandard): S tandard image ef fect applicable to most scenes. < Q > (Smooth skin tones): Effective for close-up s of women or children.
56 The easiest way to playback images is explained below . For more details on the playback procedure, see page 147. 1 Playback the image. When you press the < x > button, the last captured image will be displayed. 2 Select the image. T o view images starting with the last image, press the < Y > key .
57 Advanced Shooting Techniques In the Basic Zone modes, to prevent spoiled shots, most functions are set au tomatically and cannot be changed. In the < d > (Program AE) mode, you can set various functions and be more creative.
58 T o obtain a good exposure of the s ubject, the camera set s the exposure (shutter speed and aperture) automatic ally . This is called Program AE. 1 Set the Mode Dial to < d >. 2 Focus the subject. Look through the viewfinder and aim the selected AF point over the subject.
59 d : Program AE Changing the ISO speed and using the built-in flash. T o match the subject and ambient li ghting level, you can change the ISO speed (p.60) or use the bu ilt-in flash (p.62). In the < d > mode, the built-in flash will not fire auto matically .
60 Set the ISO speed (image sensor ’ s sensitiv ity to light) to suit the ambient light level. In the Basic Zone modes, the IS O speed is set automatically (p.61). 1 Press the < Z > button. ( 9 ) X [ ISO speed ] will appear . 2 Select the ISO speed.
61 Z : Changing the ISO Speed N If the ISO speed is set to “ AUTO ”, the actual ISO speed to be set will be displayed when you press the shutter button halfway . As indicated below , the ISO speed will be set automatically to suit the shooting mode.
62 In indoors, low light, or backlit c onditions in daylight, just pop up the built-in flash and press the shutter button to take flash pictures. In the < d > mode, the shutter speed (1/60 se c. - 1/200 sec.) will be set automatically to prevent camera shake.
63 D Using the Built-in Flash If the subject is far away , increase the ISO speed. By increasing the ISO speed, you can extend the flash range. In bright light, decrease the ISO speed. If the exposure setting in the viewfi nder blinks, decrease the ISO speed.
64 Select the AF mode suiting the shooti ng conditions or subject. In the Basic Zone modes, the optimum AF mode is set automatically . 1 On the lens, set the focus mode switch to <AF>. 2 Press the < Z E > button. X [ AF mode ] will appear .
65 E : Changing the AF Mode N This AF mode is for moving subjects when the focusing dist ance keeps changing. While you hold do wn the shutter button halfway , the subject will be focused continuously . The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.
66 In the Basic Zone modes, all the AF points are active. Generally , the AF point covering the closest subject will be selected to focus. Therefore, the camera sometimes may not focus the subject you want. With the < d > (Program AE), < s >, < f >, and < a > modes, you can select one AF point to focus where you want.
67 S Selecting the AF Point N When shooting a portrait up close, use One-Shot AF and focus the eyes. If you focus the eyes first, you c an then recompose and the face will remain sharp. If it is difficult to focus, se lect and use the center AF point.
68 Y ou can shoot up to about 3.4 shots per sec. This is effective for shooting your child running toward you and capturing the different facial expressions. 1 Press the < Y i Q > button. 2 Select < i >. Press the < U > key to select < i >, then press < 0 >.
69 1 Press the < Y i Q > button. 2 Select the self-timer . Press the < U > key to select the desired self-timer , then press < 0 >. Q : 10-sec. self-timer The remote control can also be used. (p.194) l : 2-sec. self-timer N (p.104) q : 10-sec.
70 Y ou can select the number of megapixels to record (approx. 15.1, 8.0, or 3.7 megapixels) and the image quality . 1 Select [Quality]. Under the [ 1 ] tab, select [ Quality ], then press < 0 >. X [ Quality ] will appear . 2 Select the image-recording quality .
71 3 Setting the Image-recording Quality I want to select the quality matchi ng the paper size for printing. Refer to the diagram on the left when choosing the image-recording quality . If you want to crop the image, selecting a higher quality (more pixels) such as 73 , 83 , 1 , or 1 + 73 is recommended.
3 Setting the Image-recording Quality 72 1 is the raw image data before it is made into a 73 or other images. Although 1 images require software like Digital Photo Professional (provided) so they can be displayed on the computer , they also offer flexibility for image adjustments possible only with 1 .

75 More Advanced Techniques This chapter builds on the previous chapter and introduces more ways to shoot creatively . The first half of this chapter explains how to use the < s > < f > < a > < 8 > modes on the Mode Dial.
76 Y ou can either freeze the action or create motion blur with the < s > (Shutter-priority AE) mode on the Mode Dial. * < s > stands for T ime value. 1 Set the Mode Dial to < s >. 2 Set the desired shutter speed. See “Shooting T ips” for advice on setting the shutter speed.
77 s : Action Shots T o freeze the action or moving subject. Use a fast shutter speed such as 1/4000 sec. to 1/500 sec. T o blur a running child or animal giving the impression of fast movement. Use a medium shutter speed such as 1/250 sec. to 1/30 sec.
78 T o obtain a blurry background or to make everything near and far look sharp, set the Mode Dial to < f > (Aperture-priority AE) to adjust the depth of field (range of acceptable focus). * < f > stands for Aperture valu e which is the size of th e diaphragm hole inside the lens.
79 f : Changing the Depth of Field When using a high aperture, note that camera shake can occur in low light scenes. A higher aperture will make the shutter speed slower . Under low light, the shutter speed can be as long as 30 sec. In such cases, increase the ISO speed and hold the camera steady or use a tripod.
f : Changing the Depth of Field 80 T o obtain a correct flash expos ure, the flash output will be set automatically to match the set a perture (autoflash exposure). The shutter speed will be set automatically between 1/200 sec. - 30 sec. to suit the scene’s brightness.
81 Y ou can set both the shutter speed and aper ture as desired. With flash, the flash exposure will be set automatically to match the aperture that was set. The flash sync speed can be set within 1/200 sec. to 1/30 sec. or to bulb. * < a > stands for Manual.
82 Objects in the foreground and backgro und will be in focus automatically . All the AF points will function to detect the subject, and the aperture required to attain the necessary depth of field will be set automatically . * < 8 > stands for Auto-Depth of field.
83 The metering mode determines the exposure. Different metering modes measure the subject brightness differently . Normally , evaluative metering is recommended. 1 Select the [Metering mode]. Under the [ 2 ] tab, select [ Metering mode ], then press < 0 >.
84 Exposure compensation is used to alte r the standard exposure set by the camera. Y ou can make the image look brighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). The exposure compensation setting will not be automatically canceled when you turn off the camera.
85 Setting Exposure Compensation N Set flash exposure compensation if the flash exposure of the subject does not come out as desire d. 1 Select [Flash control]. Under the [ 1 ] tab, select [ Flash control ], then press < 0 >. 2 Select [ Built-in flash func.
86 This feature takes exposure compensat ion a step further by varying the exposure automatically with three s hots as shown below . Y ou can then choose the best exposure. This is ca lled AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing). 1 Select [Expo. comp./AEB]. Under the [ 2 ] tab, select [ Expo.
87 3 Auto Exposure Bracketing N Follow steps 1 and 2 to turn off the AEB amount display . The AEB setting will be canceled automa tically if the power switch is set to < 2 >, flash recycling is complete, etc. Using AEB with continuous shooting. If < i > continuous shooting (p.
88 Y ou can customize a Picture S tyle by adjusting individual parameters like [ Sharpness ] and [ Contrast ]. T o see the resulting effect s, take test shots. T o customize [ Monochrome ], see page 90. 1 Select [Picture Style]. Under the [ 2 ] tab, select [ Picture Styl e ], then press < 0 >.
89 A Customizing a Picture Style N Sharpness Adjusts the sharpness of the image. T o make it less sharp, set it toward the E end. The closer it is to E , the softer the image will look. T o make it sharper , set it toward the F end. The closer it is to F , the sharper the image will look.
A Customizing a Picture Style N 90 For Monochrome, you can also set [ Filter effect ] and [ T oning effect ] in addition to [ Sharpness ] and [ Contrast ] explained on the preceding pag e. k Filter Effect With a filter effect applied to a monochrome image, you can make white clouds or green trees stand out more.
91 Y ou can select a base Picture S tyle such as [ Portrait ] or [ Landscape ], adjust its p arameters as des ired and register it under [ User Def. 1 ], [ User Def. 2 ], or [ User Def. 3 ]. Y ou can create Picture S tyles whos e parameter settings such as for sharpness and contrast are diff erent.
A Registering a Picture Style N 92 5 Select a pa rameter . Select a parameter such as [ Sharpness ], then press < 0 >. 6 Set the p arameter . Press the < U > key to adjust the parameter as desired, then press < 0 >. For details, see “Customizing a Picture S tyle” on pages 88-90.
93 The color space refers to the range of reproducible colors. With this camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or Adobe RGB. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended. In the Basic Zone modes, sRGB is set automatically . 1 Select [Color space].
94 Use AE lock when the ar ea of focus is to be di fferent from the exposure metering area or when you want to take multiple shots at the same exposure setting. Press the < A > button to lock the exposure, then recompose and take the shot. This is called AE lock.
95 FE lock locks the flash exposure setting over the desired area of the subject. This feature can also be used with a Canon EX-series S peedlite. * FE stands for Flash Exposure. 1 Press the < D > button to pop up the built-in flash. Press the shutter button halfway and look in the viewfinder to check that the < D > icon is lit.
96 White balance (WB) is for making the white areas look white. Normally , the < Q > (Auto) setting will obtain the co rrect white balance. If natural- looking colors cannot be obtained with < Q >, you can select the white balance settings for different source s or set it manually by shooting a white object.
97 B : Setting the White Balance N 2 Select [Custom WB]. Under the [ 2 ] tab, select [ Custom WB ], then press < 0 >. X The custom white balance selection screen will appear . 3 Import the white balance dat a. Select the image that was captured in step 1, then press < 0 >.
98 Y ou can correct the white balance th at has been set. This adjustment will have the same effect as using a commercially-available color temperature conversion filter or color compensating filter . Each color can be corrected to one of nine levels.
99 2 White Balance Correction N With just one shot, three images having a different color tone can be recorded simultaneously . Based on the color temper ature of the current white balance setting, the image will be bracketed wi th a blue/amber bias or magenta/green bias.
100 Due to the lens characteristics, the f our corners of the picture might look darker . This is called lens light fall- off or drop in peripheral illumination. This can be corrected. For JPEG images, lens light fall-off is corrected when the image is captured.
101 3 Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction The camera already contains lens peripheral illumination correction data for about 25 lenses. In step 2, if you select [ Enable ], the peripheral light correction will be applied automatically for any lens whose correction data has been registered in the camera.
102 The shooting settings are displayed on the LCD monitor where you can directly select and set the functions. This is called the Quick Control screen. 1 Display the Quick Control screen. When the shooting settings are displayed, press < 0 >. X The Quick Control screen will appear ( 7 ).

Quasi sempre, ci troverai Troubleshooting, cioè i guasti più frequenti e malfunzionamenti del dispositivo Canon 500D insieme con le istruzioni su come risolverli. Anche se non si riesci a risolvere il problema, il manuale d’uso ti mostrerà il percorso di ulteriori procedimenti – il contatto con il centro servizio clienti o il servizio più vicino.
