QuickGuide to EOS

Quick Control Screen Operation

The purpose of this QuickGuide is to familiarize

you with the features available in Canon’s Quick

Control screen interface and the benefits of

using it. These benefits include:
1. The ability to review major camera settings

on one large, easy to see screen

2. The ability to perform a variety of common

camera settings and image adjustments on a

single screen, without having to sort through

multiple menus or press multiple buttons

The Quick Control screen is an

optional

control interface that serves as a supplement

and shortcut to the full menu system on EOS

cameras.

It is available on the following EOS

DSLRs:

EOS 5D Mark II

EOS 7D

EOS 50D, 60D

EOS Rebel T2i, T3i, and T3

The layout and functions available will vary by

camera model and shooting mode. For example,

if your camera is set to the Basic Zone (full

automatic) mode the range of functions visible

and available on the Quick Control screen will be

much smaller than if the camera is set to P, Tv,

Av, or M mode.

SHOOTING VS. PLAYBACK MODE

With most EOS DSLRs, the Quick Control screen

is available only when the camera is ready to

shoot. The EOS 60D, Rebel T3i, and T3 have an

additional Quick Control screen that is accessible

when the camera is in image playback mode.

Please refer to the IMAGE PLAYBACK MODE

section below for information on these additional

features.
