Canon EOS 30D Instruction Manual

This chapter explains how to use the Basic Zone modes on 

the Mode Dial for quick and easy shooting. In each mode 

<1> <2> <3> <4> <5> <6> <7>, the AF 

mode, metering mode, ISO speed, etc., are set 

automatically to suit the subject. In these modes, all you do 

is point and shoot. In addition, to help prevent mistakes 

caused by operating the camera improperly, shooting-

related buttons like <E> <i> <Q> <S> 

<A> buttons and <9> are disabled in these modes. So 

you need not worry about accidental errors.

Set the Mode Dial to one of the 
following modes: <1> <2> 
<3> <4> <5> <6> <7>

 

The shooting procedure is the 
same as for “1 Using Full 
Auto” (p.46).

 

To see what is set automatically 
in the Basic Zone modes, see 
“Function Availability Table” 
(p.176)
