The Canon 5D and 6D require completion of an orientation in order to check them out. The only exception is if you are enrolled in certain course(s). Check with your professor to confirm.
Fully Automatic Shooting (A+)
This is a fully automatic mode. The camera analyzes the scenes and sets the optimum setting automatically. It also adjusts the focus automatically.
For more information, see the following manual entries:
Program AE (P)
In this setting, the camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture to suit the subject's brightness.
Only the shutter speed and aperture are set automatically in Program mode. The user can still freely change the focus, metering mode, exposure and other functions. In AutoMode these functions are set automatically in order to prevent ruined shots.
For more information see the following manual entries:
Shutter-Priority AE (TV)
In this mode, the user sets the shutter speed and the camera automatically adjusts the aperture to obtain the exposure that best suits the brightness of the subject. A faster shutter speed can freeze the action of a moving subject. A slower shutter speed can create a blurred effect, giving the impression of motion.
For more information, see the following manual entries:
Aperture-Priority AE (AV)
In this mode, the user sets the desired speed and the camera automatically sets the shutter speed to obtain the exposure that best suits the brightness of the subject. A higher f/number(small aperture hole) will make more of the foreground and background fall into focus, whereas a lower f/number(larger aperture hole) will make less of the foreground and background fall into focus.
For more information, see the following manual entries:
Manual Exposure (M)
In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture as desired. To determine the exposure refer to the exposure level indicator in the viewfinder or use the exposure meter.
For more information, see the following manual entries:
- Press MENU and locate Format card, which is under the wrench icon. Press SET.
- For the Canon 5D, there are two card slots and the system will ask you which card you want to format. Use Slot 2 if using an SD card.
OPTIONAL: If you would like to completely wipe the card of all data, press the trash can button to add a checkmark to Low level format.
- Select OK, then press SET.
Formatting your card erases all data! Ensure that you have your files saved somewhere else first before completing this action.
In order to set custom white balance, you cannot be in Auto mode. You must use one of the following modes: P, TV, AV, M, or B.
- Take a photo of something white (e.g. a white balance card).
- Press Menu and locate Custom White Balance, which is on the second page under the camera icon. Press SET to select it.
- Select the white image you captured in step 1.
- On the dialog screen that appears, select OK, and the data will be imported.
- Press the MENU button to exit the menu.
- Press Menu and locate and select White Balance, which is directly above the Custom White Balance setting in step 2.
- Select Custom (icon looks like a square in between two inward facing triangles).
