Chapter 1: Roadmap to the 60D

This chapter is designed to help you become familiar with the 60D and offer you ways to make everyday use of the camera easier and faster. While reading about the camera is helpful, the best thing that you can do is shoot with the 60D often — every day, in fact — because using the camera is the shortest path to gaining mastery of it.

By now, you may already know that the camera fits easily and comfortably in your hand, and has just enough heft to make it feel substantial. The exterior of the camera belies the power under the hood. The 60D gives you high image resolution, the latest metering system from Canon, responsive performance, and full creative control as well as high-resolution video with manual control. All in all, the 60D makes shooting pleasurable and satisfying while delivering excellent still image and video resolution and quality.

Camera Controls Overview

Once you learn the overall design of the 60D, you can make camera adjustments more efficiently. The following sections provide methods for using the controls in logical and efficient ways.

The main controls that can be used together or separately to control most functions on the 60D are

Main dial and Quick Control dial. These dials enable you to make adjustments for the four buttons located above the LCD panel. Just press the AF (Autofocus mode), DRIVE (drive mode), ISO (ISO speed), or metering mode selection button that is displayed as an icon, and then turn the Main or Quick Control dial to change the mode or ISO setting.

Some camera menu screens, such as the Quality screen, also use the Main and Quick Control dials for selecting different values on the screen. And you can turn the Main dial to move among the camera menu tabs, and then turn the Quick Control dial to move to a menu option.

1.1 The Main dial

Multi-controller. This eight-way control functions as a joystick when it is pressed in any of eight directions. For camera menus and the Quick Control screen, only the up, down, left, and right directions on the Multi-controller work. To activate the Quick Control screen, press the Q button, and then press left, right, up, or down on the Multi-controller to move to the option you want. Then turn the Quick Control dial or Main dial to make changes to most of the options. You can use the Multi-controller to manually select an AF point, move through images during playback, and move the autofocus (AF) frame or the magnifying frame in Live View.

1.2 The Multi-controller, Quick Control dial, and SET button

These instructions are important because all the step-by-step instructions in this book assume that you can use these controls to navigate to menus and select options.

Setting (SET) button. The SET button confirms changes you make to many menu items, and it opens submenus. On the Quick Control screen, you can select a setting using the Multi-controller, such as White Balance, and then press the SET button to display all the options for the setting.

Front of the camera

The front of the camera includes the nicely sculpted grip that increases steadiness and balance when handling the camera, as well as the controls that you use often. The front of the camera includes the following controls:

Red-eye reduction/Self-timer lamp. When you use the built-in flash with the Red-eye reduction option turned on, the Self-timer lamp lights to help reduce the subject’s pupil size. If the subject looks at the lamp, it reduces the appearance of red in the subject’s eyes. In the two Self-timer/Remote control modes, this lamp lights and a beeper signals the delay countdown (either 10 or 2) to shutter release.

Remote control sensor. This sensor works with the accessory Remote Controller RC-6, enabling you to remotely release the shutter up to 16.4 feet from the camera. Simply select one of the Self-timer/Remote control drive modes, focus, and then lock focus by pressing the Manual Focus (MF) button on the lens if the lens has an MF button. Then point the remote control at this sensor and press the transmit button to make the picture.

DC coupler cord hole. This enables you to use household power when using the accessory AC Adapter Kit ACK-E6.

Depth-of-Field Preview button. Pressing this button stops down the lens diaphragm to the currently selected aperture so that you can preview the depth of field in the viewfinder. The larger the area of darkness, the more extensive the depth of field will be. You can also use this button during Live View shooting. If the lens is set to the maximum aperture, the Depth-of-Field Preview button cannot be depressed because the diaphragm is already fully open.

Reflex Mirror. As you compose an image, the reflex mirror reflects light from the lens to the pentaprism so you see in the viewfinder eyepiece what the imaging sensor captures. The viewfinder offers 96 percent frame coverage. In Live View shooting, the mirror is flipped up to allow a current view of the scene. If you are using Quick mode focusing, the mirror flips down to focus, thereby suspending Live View momentarily.

Lens mount and contacts. The lens mount is compatible with Canon EF and EF-S lenses. EF-S lenses are compatible with only the cropped image sensor size of the 60D and other Canon EOS dSLR cameras. EF lenses are compatible with all EOS dSLRs. The lens mount includes a red index marker that is used to line up EF-mount lenses and a white index mount marker that is used to line up EF-S lenses.

1.3 EOS 60D camera front

Lens Release button. This button releases the lens from the lens mount. To disengage the lens, depress and hold down the Lens Release button as you turn the lens so that the red or white index mark moves toward the top of the camera.

Flash button. In Program AE (P), Shutter-priority AE (Tv), Aperture-priority AE (Av), Manual (M), and Bulb (B) shooting modes, press this button to pop up and use the built-in flash. In automatic shooting modes, pressing the Flash button has no effect because the camera automatically determines when to use the built-in flash.

Microphone. The built-in monaural, or single channel, microphone is used for sound recording when you’re shooting movies. You can adjust the recording level manually from 1 to 64 levels, or you can have the 60D automatically adjust it. You can also adjust the built-in wind-cut filter to reduce the noise of wind while shooting outdoor movies. Alternately, you can disable sound recording.

Top of the camera

Dials and controls on the top of the camera provide access to frequently used shooting functions in addition to the hot shoe and diopter control.

Mode dial with lock button. By pressing the lock button while turning this dial, you can select a shooting mode, which determines how much control you have over image exposures. Just turn the dial to line up the shooting mode that you want to use with the white mark to the right of the dial.

Hot shoe. The hot shoe mounting plate with flash sync contacts is where you mount an accessory flash unit. The 60D hot shoe is compatible with E-TTL II autoflash with accessory Canon EX-series Speedlites, and offers wireless multi-flash support. When using a compatible EX-series Speedlite, the 60D offers flash configuration from the camera using the Shooting 1 menu.

Dioptric adjustment knob. Turn this control forward or backward to adjust the sharpness for your vision by –3 to +1 diopters. If you wear eyeglasses or contact lenses for shooting, be sure to wear them as you turn the dioptric adjustment control. To make the adjustment, point the lens to a light-colored surface such as a piece of white paper or a white wall, and then turn the control until the AF points are perfectly sharp and crisp for your vision.

Focal plane mark. This mark indicates the equivalent of the film plane and is useful in macro photography when you need to know the exact distance from the front of the image sensor plane to the subject.

1.4 EOS 60D top of the camera

Shooting modes are detailed in Chapter 3. Chapter 5 explains how to set up the customizable Camera User Settings, or C mode.

LCD panel. This panel provides a quick summary of the current camera settings as well as the battery status. It displays the drive, autofocus (AF), and metering modes, Picture Style, White Balance, Flash Exposure Compensation (FEC), shutter speed, built-in flash status, ISO, number of remaining shots, Self-timer countdown, Bulb exposure time, the Exposure Level meter, Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) and Flash Exposure Compensation amounts, the degree of change on the Electronic Level, aperture, and card writing status. In addition, this panel displays a variety of error messages and warnings.

AF mode button. Pressing this button enables you to change the Autofocus (AF) mode to One-shot AF, AI Focus AF, or AI Servo AF mode. For all the buttons above the LCD panel, just press the button, and then turn the Main or Quick Control dial to change the mode.

Drive mode button. Pressing this button enables you to change the drive mode using the Main dial. The drive mode options are Single-shot, High-speed Continuous (5.3 frames per second, or fps), Low-speed Continuous (3 fps), and Self-timer/Remote control (10- and 2-sec. delays).

ISO button. Pressing this button enables you to change the ISO sensitivity setting using the Main dial in P, Tv, Av, M, and Bulb shooting modes. The ISO options are Auto (ISO 100-6400), 100, 125, 160, 200, 250, 320, 400, 500, 640, 800, 1000, 1250, 1600, 2000, 2500, 3200, 4000, 5000, 6400; with Custom Function I-3 turned on, you can choose H: 12800 as well.

Metering mode button. Press this button to change the metering mode, and then turn the Main dial. The metering mode options are Evaluative (63-zone Through-the-Lens, or TTL, full-aperture metering), Partial (6.5 percent at center frame), Spot (2.8 percent at center frame), and Center-weighted Average.

LCD Panel Illumination button. Pressing the LCD Panel Illumination button turns on a light that illuminates the LCD panel for approximately 6 seconds. This is a handy option for making LCD panel adjustments in low light or in the dark.

Main dial. The Main dial selects a variety of options. Turn the Main dial to cycle through camera Menu tabs, cycle through AF points when selecting an AF point manually, set the aperture in Av shooting mode, set the shutter speed in Tv and M shooting modes, and shift the exposure in P shooting mode.

Shutter button. When you press the shutter button halfway, the 60D simultaneously meters the light in the scene and focuses on the subject. Completely pressing the shutter button opens the shutter to make the picture. In High-speed or Low-speed Continuous drive mode, pressing and holding the shutter button starts continuous shooting at either 5.3 or 3 fps, respectively. In Self-timer modes, pressing the shutter button completely initiates the 10- or 2-sec. timer, and after the timer delay, the shutter fires to make the picture.

Back of the camera

The back of the camera includes minimal buttons and controls for a clean design and easy use. Here is a look at the back of the 60D:

1.5 Back of the EOS 60D

Power switch. The power switch turns the camera off and on.

Erase button. Pressing the Erase button during image playback displays options to erase the currently displayed image as long as it is not protected. Batches of images can be erased together by selecting and check-marking images.

Viewfinder eyepiece and eyecup. The 60D viewfinder is an eye-level pentaprism with approximately 96 percent vertical and horizontal coverage. The focusing screen can be changed.

Live View shooting/Movie shooting button. Pressing this button initiates Live View shooting, or video shooting when the Mode dial is set to Movie mode. In Live View shooting, the camera raises the reflex mirror to display a current view of the scene on the LCD monitor. In Movie mode, press the button once to begin recording a video, and press it again to stop recording.

AF-ON button. In P, Tv Av, M, B, C, Movie, and Live View shooting modes, you can press the AF-ON button to focus just as you would by pressing the shutter button halfway. The AF-ON button is also referred to as the AF start button. Depending on how you like to work, the AF-ON button can be a more convenient way to focus. And you can use Custom Function IV-1, AF, and metering buttons to change the button used for focusing so that the AF-ON button functions for both focusing while a half-press of the shutter button initiates metering, as well as other combinations.

AE Lock/FE Lock/Index/Reduce button. During shooting, pressing this button enables you to set and lock the exposure or the Flash Exposure at a point different from where you focus. During image playback, pressing this button displays four images at a time, and pressing it again displays an index of nine images on the LCD monitor. In Playback mode with an image magnified, pressing once, or pressing and holding this button, reduces the image magnification. When you are printing images, pressing this button reduces the size of the trimming frame.

AF point selection/Magnify button. During shooting, press this button to manually select the AF point. During image playback, pressing and holding this button magnifies still images so that you can check focus or details in the image. To move around a magnified image, press the Multi-controller in the direction you want to move. During printing preparation, pressing this button changes the size of the trimming frame.

Menu button. Pressing the Menu button displays the most recently accessed camera menu and menu option. To move among the menus, turn the Main dial or press left or right on the Multi-controller.

Quick Control (Q) button. Pressing this button displays the Quick Control screen where you can change the most common exposure and camera settings.

Access lamp. This light lights or blinks when any action related to taking, recording, reading, erasing, or transferring images is in progress. Whenever the light is lit or blinking, do not open the card slot door, turn off the camera, or remove the battery.

INFO. button. During shooting, pressing the INFO. button displays the Info screen that details the current camera settings. On the Setup 3 camera menu, you can program the button to display the camera settings, the Electronic Level to square horizontal and vertical lines with the frame, and/or to display shooting functions. Then you can press the INFO. button one or more times to display any of these. When playing back images, pressing the INFO. button one or more times cycles through four different playback display modes.

Setting (SET) button. Pressing this button confirms menu selections, opens submenu screens, and, on the Quick Control screen, opens screens from which you can change settings such as Exposure Compensation and Exposure Bracketing.

Multi-controller. The eight-way Multi-controller functions as a joystick when pressed in any of eight directions. During shooting, you can use it to select an AF point after pressing the AF point selection button, to move the AF point or magnifying frame in Live View shooting, or to select and set camera menu options. On the Quick Control screen, the Multi-controller provides access to primary shooting and exposure options. Press up, down, left, or right on the Multi-controller to move among the functions on the screen. To change a setting, turn the Quick Control or Main dial, or press the SET button to access the function’s setting screen. When working with camera menus, the Multi-controller is used to set White Balance shift settings.

Quick Control dial. The Quick Control dial selects the functions for the buttons above the LCD panel. When the camera menus are displayed, turning the Quick Control dial cycles through the options on each menu. When shooting, you can use the Quick Control dial to manually select an AF point after pressing the AF point selection button.

Quick Control dial unlock (UNLOCK) button. Pressing this button temporarily unlocks the Quick Control dial so that you can use it to adjust camera settings and select menu options. You can lock the Quick Control dial on the Setup 2 menu. Enabling locking affects use of the Quick Control dial in P, Tv, Av, M, B, and C shooting modes. Locking the Quick Control dial helps prevent unintentional changes to Exposure Compensation and the aperture in M and Bulb shooting modes. But you have to remember to press the UNLOCK button when you want to temporarily use the Quick Control dial.

Playback button. Pressing this button displays the last captured image. To cycle through images on the card, turn the Quick Control dial counterclockwise to view images from last taken to first, or turn the dial clockwise to view images from first taken to last. To change the playback display, press the INFO. button one or more times.

LCD monitor. The 3-inch, 1.04-million dot LCD monitor is fully articulated so that you can turn it virtually any angle as well as away from the back of the camera to compose images with a 100 percent view of the image area. In addition, you can turn the LCD monitor inward to protect the LCD screen.

Lens Controls Overview

Lens controls differ according to the lens that you are using. In addition to autofocusing, you can also switch to manual focusing by setting the switch on the side of the lens to MF, or Manual Focus, on lenses that offer it. Manual focusing includes focus assist. As you adjust the focusing ring on the lens, the focus confirmation light in the lower-right side of the viewfinder lights steadily and the camera sounds a focus confirmation beep when sharp focus is achieved.

Although I cover lenses fully in Chapter 9, navigating the camera includes using the lens controls, so I include them here. Lens controls may include the following, depending on the lens:

Lens mounting index. You match up the red or white mark on the lens with the red or white mark on the 60D’s lens mount to attach the lens to the camera. Canon EF lenses have a red index mark and EF-S lenses have a white mark.

Focusing distance range selection switch. This switch limits the range that the lens uses when seeking focus. For example, if you choose the 2.5m to infinity focusing distance option on the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens, then the lens does not seek focus at 2.5m and closer, and this speeds up autofocus. The focusing distance range options vary by lens.

Zoom ring. Turning this ring zooms the lens to the focal length marked on the ring. On some older lenses, such as the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens, zooming is accomplished by first releasing a zoom ring, and then pushing or pulling the lens to zoom out or in.

Distance scale and infinity compensation mark. The distance scale shows the lens’s minimum focusing distance through infinity. The scale includes an infinity compensation mark that can be used to compensate for shifting the infinity focus point that results from temperature changes.

Focusing ring. Turning the focusing ring enables you to manually focus or tweak the focus at any time on compatible lenses, even if you are using autofocusing. For lenses with an MF switch, you can switch to MF and turn this ring to focus on the subject.

Focus mode switch. On the lenses that have this switch, you can choose either AF (Autofocus) or MF (Manual focus).

Image stabilizer switch. This switch turns on or off Optical Image Stabilization. Optical Image Stabilization (IS) corrects vibrations at any angle or at only right angles when handholding the camera and lens.

Image stabilizer mode selector switch. On some telephoto lenses, this switch enables image stabilization for standard shooting and stabilization when you are panning with the subject movement at right angles to the camera.

Camera Menus and Displays

While the exterior of the camera has key controls for camera adjustments, you’ll also be able to verify most exposure settings by looking in the viewfinder. And for other camera adjustments, 14 camera menus provide more adjustment options. The Movie menus are not displayed until you switch to Movie shooting mode on the Mode dial.

Viewfinder display

The eye-level pentaprism viewfinder displays 96 percent of the scene that the camera captures. Figure 1.8 shows the viewfinder information and what each element represents.

1.8 EOS 60D viewfinder display

The viewfinder includes nine AF points superimposed on the focusing screen, as well as key exposure and camera setting information.

Looking through the viewfinder during shooting allows you to verify that camera settings are as you want, or alerts you if they need to be changed. In addition, you are alerted when any exposure element you have chosen is beyond the exposure capability of the light in the scene.

Camera menus

The 60D offers 14 menus that appear as tabs and are categorized as Shooting, Playback, Setup, Custom Function, a customizable My Menu, and Movie. Accessing the menus is as easy as pressing the Menu button on the back of the camera.

The menus and options change, based on the shooting mode you select. In the automatic shooting modes, such as Creative Auto (CA) and Full Auto, the menus are abbreviated, and you can make only limited changes.

But in semiautomatic and manual modes such as P, Tv, Av, M, and B, the full menus are available. If you find a technique described in this book, but you cannot find the option mentioned on the menu, check the camera’s shooting mode. By changing to a semiautomatic or manual mode, the option you need is displayed.

Table 1.1 through Table 1.14 show the full camera menus and options that are displayed in P Tv, Av, M, and B shooting modes.

To access the menus, just press the Menu button, press left or right on the Multi-controller to select a menu tab, and then press up or down on the Multi-controller to select a menu option. Then press the SET button to display the choices you can make.
