3 Press the shutter button halfway.

The LCD panel will return to the normal display and the user-settable No. will be set.

When the film is loaded, the ID icon will be displayed on the LCD

• In low temperatures (–10˚C), the liquid crystal used for imprinting the film ID will have a slower response. Therefore, it may take a few seconds for the imprinting to be completed. To ensure proper film ID imprinting, do not start taking pictures until the ID icon on the LCD panel turns off. If you take a picture during film ID imprinting, the imprinting will be canceled and the picture will be taken.

•Film ID imprinting is assured between 45˚C and –10˚C. In colder temperatures, the response of the liquid crystal will be extremely slow and the film ID might fail to be imprinted.

•If a roll of film is rewound in midroll and later loaded into the camera again, the film ID will be imprinted over the previous film ID.

•Depending on your photofinisher, the film leader where the film ID is imprinted might not come back with your processed film. When submitting the film for processing, be sure to mention that you want the film leader returned as well.

• The film ID imprinting cannot be turned off.

•When you press the < > button in step 2 on the preceding page, the number of remaining rolls whose shooting data can be stored in the camera’s memory will be displayed. This number is used when you use the EOS LINK SOFTWARE ES-E1 (sold separately).
