MANUAL |
The EOS 70D (W/N) is a high-performance, digital single-lens reflex camera featuring a fine-detail CMOS sensor with approx. 20.2 effective megapixels, DIGIC 5+, high-precision and high-speed 19-point AF (all cross-type focusing), approx. 7.0 fps continuous shooting, Live View shooting, Full High-Definition (Full HD) movie shooting, and Wi-Fi function*.
The camera is highly responsive to any shooting situation at any time, provides many features for demanding shots, and expands shooting possibilities with various system accessories.
* The EOS 70D (N) does not have the Wi-Fi function.
Refer to This Manual while Using the Camera to Further Familiarize Yourself with the Camera
With a digital camera, you can immediately view the image you have captured. While reading this manual, take a few test shots and see how they come out. You can then better understand the camera.
To avoid botched picturesCOPYand accidents, first read the “Safety Warnings” (p.445-447) and “Handling recautions” (p.18, 19).
Testing the Camera Before Use and Liability
After shooting, play images back and check whether they have been properly recorded. If the camera or memory card is faulty and the images cannot be recorded or downloaded to a computer, Canon cannot be held liable for any loss or inconvenience caused.
Copyrights
Copyright laws in your country may prohibit the use of your recorded images or copyrighted music and images with music in the memory card for anything other than private enjoyment. Also be aware that certain public performances, exhibitions, etc., may prohibit photography even for private enjoyment.

The camera can use the following cards regardless of capacity:
•SD memory cards
•SDHC memory cards*
•SDXC memory cards*
*UHS-I cards supported.
Cards that Can Record Movies
When shooting movies, use a large-capacity card with a fast reading/ writing speed as shown in the table.
Compression Method (p.265) |
Card |
IPB |
6 MB/sec. or faster |
ALL-I (I-only) |
20 MB/sec. or faster |
If you use a slow-writing card when shooting movies, the movie may not be recorded properly. Also, if you play back a movie on a card with a slow readingCOPYspeed, the movie may not play back properly. If you want to shoot still photos while shooting a movie, you will need an even faster card.
To check the card’s reading/writing speed, refer to the card manufacturer’s Web site.
In this manual, “card” refers to SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, and SDXC memory cards.
*The camera does not come with a card for recording images/ movies. Please purchase it separately.

Camera Care
This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical shock. The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you accidentally drop the camera into water, promptly consult the nearest Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry and clean cloth. If the camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a well-wrung wet cloth. Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field such as a magnet or electric motor. Also avoid using or leaving the camera near anything emitting strong radio waves, such as a large antenna. Strong magnetic fields can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data.
Do not leave the camera in excessive heat, such as in a car in direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction. The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to disassemble the camera yourself.
Do not block the mirror operation with your finger, etc. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirror, and
focusing screen. Do not use cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean the camera body or lens.COPYFor stubborn dirt, take the camera to the nearest
Canon Service Center.
Do not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your fingers. This is to prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause camera misoperation.
If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room, condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.
If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid damaging the camera. If there is condensation, remove the lens, card and battery from the camera, and wait until condensation has evaporated before using the camera.
If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while the camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a while to check that the camera is still working.
Avoid storing the camera where there are chemicals that result in rust and corrosion such as in a chemical lab.
18
Handling Precautions
If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions before using it. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is an important shoot such as a foreign trip coming up, have the camera checked by your Canon dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.
If you use continuous shooting, Live View shooting, or movie shooting for a prolonged period, the camera may become hot. This is not a malfunction.
LCD Panel and LCD Monitor
Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there may be a few dead pixels displaying only black or red, etc. among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded. If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days. The LCD monitor display may seem slow in low temperatures, or look black in high temperatures. It will return to normal at room temperature.
Cards |
COPY |
|
To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:
Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force, physical shock, or vibration.
Do not touch the card’s electronic contacts with your fingers or anything metallic.
Do not affix any stickers, etc., on the card.
Do not store or use the card near anything having a strong magnetic field, such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places prone to having static electricity.
Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Store the card in a case.
Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
Lens
After detaching the lens from the camera, put down the |
Contacts |
lens with the rear end up and attach the lens caps to avoid |
|
scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts. |

It takes approx. 2.5 hours to fully recharge a completely exhausted battery at room temperature (23°C / 73°F). The time required to recharge the battery will vary greatly depending on the ambient temperature and the battery’s remaining capacity.
For safety reasons, recharging in low temperatures (5°C - 10°C / 41°F - 50°F) will take longer (up to approx. 4 hours).
28
Charging the Battery
Tips for Using the Battery and Charger
Upon purchase, the battery is not fully charged.
Charge the battery before use.
Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be used.
Even during storage, a charged battery will gradually drain and lose its capacity.
After recharging the battery, detach it and disconnect the charger from the power outlet.
You can attach the cover in a different
orientation to indicate whether the battery
has been recharged or not.
If the battery has been recharged, attach the cover so that the battery-shaped hole < > is
aligned over the blue sticker on the battery. If the battery is exhausted, attach COPYthe cover in the opposite orientation.
When not using the camera, remove the battery.
If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small amount of power current is released, resulting in excess discharge and shorter battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover attached. Storing the battery when it is fully charged may lower the battery’s performance.
The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.
The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/60 Hz power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available plug adapter for the respective country or region. Do not attach any portable voltage transformer to the battery charger. Doing so can damage the battery charger.
If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully charged, the battery has reached the end of its service life.
Check the battery’s recharge performance (p.396) and purchase a new battery.
After disconnecting the charger’s power plug, do not touch the prongs for approx. 10 sec. If the battery’s remaining capacity (p.396) is 94% or higher, the battery will not be recharged.
The charger cannot charge any battery other than Battery Pack LP-E6.
29
Load a fully charged Battery Pack LP-E6 into the camera. The camera’s viewfinder becomes bright when a battery is installed, and darkens when the battery is removed.
Installing the Battery |
|
1 |
Open the cover. |
|
Slide the lever as shown by the |
|
arrows and open the cover. |
2 Insert the battery. |
|
|
Insert the end with the battery |
|
contacts. |
|
Insert the battery until it locks in |
COPY |
|
|
place. |
3 Close the cover.
Press the cover until it snaps shut.
Only Battery Pack LP-E6 can be used.
Removing the Battery
Open the cover and remove the
battery.
Press the battery lock lever as shown by the arrow and remove the battery. To prevent short circuiting of the battery contacts, be sure to attach the provided protective cover (p.28) to the battery.
