Part I: Getting Started
5. Using the cross keys or by tapping, select one of the following options:
•
Standard:
This default setting enables touch control.
•
Sensitive:
This setting makes the touchscreen more sensitive. If you
find that you like touch control, this option may make more sense
for you. Experiment with both settings to see which one suits your
needs.
•
Disable:
Choose this option to disable the touch screen.
6. After highlighting the desired option, press the Set button.
Exploring Camera Connections
On the left side of the camera (with the viewfinder facing you) is a weather-
resistant flap. Under the flap are a plethora of connections, where you con-
nect sundry connectors to your camera, as shown in Figure 1-7.
You have the following connections available on your camera:
✓
Microphone:
Connect an external microphone to this port to capture
audio with your video. When you connect a microphone to this port, the
onboard microphone is disabled. This port will capture stereo sound
from a stereo microphone.
✓
Remote control:
Connect an RS 60-E3 remote control device to this port,
and you can trigger the shutter remotely. The device comes with a 2"
cord, which enables you to move away from the camera and view the
LCD monitor when shooting in Live View mode.
✓
A/V Out and Digital:
Connect an A/V out cord to this port to view video
on a TV set that doesn’t have an HDMI port. The optional Canon AVC-DC
400ST A/V out cord has three color-coded connectors that plug into
color-coded ports on your TV for video plus left and right channel audio.
Connect the cord with the Digital plug to a male USB port on a printer,
and you can print directly from the camera to your printer. This port
can also be used to download images and movies directly from your
camera to computer using the EOS Utility software supplied with
your camera.
✓
HDMI Out:
Connect an HDMI cable from this port to an HDMI port
on your TV to watch HD video on your TV that you captured on your
camera.
