Troubleshooting Guide

The image is out of focus.

Set the lens focus mode switch to <AF> (p.39).

To prevent camera shake, press the shutter button gently (p.43, 44).

If the lens has an Image Stabilizer, set the IS switch to <1> (p.42).

In low light, the shutter speed may become slow. Use a faster shutter speed (p.144), set a higher ISO speed (p.106), use flash (p.170), or use a tripod.

I cannot lock the focus and recompose the shot.

Set the AF operation to One-Shot AF. Focus lock is not possible in the AI Servo AF and AI Focus AF operations (p.69).

The continuous shooting speed is slow.

Depending on the shutter speed, aperture, subject conditions, brightness, etc., the continuous shooting speed may become slower.

The maximum burst during continuous shooting is lower.

If you shoot something that has fine detail (such as a field of grass), the file size will be larger and the actual maximum burst may be lower than the number mentioned on page 103.
