first thing first take out your SD card ... then check the lens to see if it's in MF mode not AF.

then check to see if the camera will record your test in Raw +L  this will result in both HD and Jpeg

For this TEST project, you have to shoot your " art piece" in Manual mode only.

set the camera in the following setting!

before       (default setting)                                                              after   (adjusted setting)

In Quick Menu: set the image quality to RAW (CR2) + L  and the ISO to 800 (light sensitivity) for odd computer #
ISO 1600 (light sensitivity) for even computer #.

In Aperture Mode : Adjust the f-stop to F/7.1 for (odd#)F/13 (even#)
