Safety Precautions

The following precautions are provided to prevent harm or injury to yourself and others. Make sure to thoroughly understand and follow these precautions before using the product.

If you experience any malfunctions, problems, or damage to the product, contact the nearest Canon Service Center or the dealer from whom you purchased the product.

Warnings:

 To prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, explosions, and electrical shock,

follow the safeguards below:

• Do not use any batteries, power sources, or accessories not specified in the Instruction Manual. Do not use any home-made or modified batteries, or the product if it is damaged.

• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery. Do not apply heat or solder to the battery. Do not expose the battery to fire or water. Do not subject the battery to strong physical shock.

• Do not insert the battery’s plus and minus ends incorrectly.

• Do not recharge the battery in temperatures outside the allowable charging (working) temperature range. Also, do not exceed the recharge time indicated in the Instruction Manual.

• Do not insert any foreign metallic objects into the electrical contacts of the camera, accessories, connecting cables, etc.



When disposing of a battery, insulate the electrical contacts with tape. Contact with other metallic objects or batteries may cause a fire or an explosion.



If excessive heat, smoke, or fumes are emitted when recharging the battery, immediately unplug the battery charger from the power outlet to stop recharging. Otherwise, it may cause a fire, heat damage, or electrical shock.



If the battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or fumes, remove it immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process. It may cause a fire, electrical shock or burns if you keep using it.



Prevent any battery leakage from contacting your eyes, skin, and clothing. It can cause blindness or skin problems. If the battery leakage comes in contact with your eyes, skin, or clothing, flush the affected area with lots of clean water without rubbing it. See a physician immediately.



Do not leave any cords near a heat source. It can deform the cord or melt the insulation and cause a fire or electrical shock.



Do not hold the camera in the same position for long periods of time. Even if the camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same body part may cause skin redness or blistering due to low-temperature contact burns. Using a tripod is recommended for people with circulation problems or very sensitive skin, or when using the camera in very hot places.



Do not fire the flash at anyone driving a car or other vehicle. It may cause an accident.

Follow the warnings below. Otherwise, death or serious injuries may result.

Page 23

Safety Precautions



When the camera or accessories are not in use, make sure to remove the battery, and disconnect the power plug and connecting cables from the equipment before storing. This is to prevent electrical shock, excessive heat, fire, and corrosion.

 Do not use the equipment where there is flammable gas. This is to prevent an

explosion or a fire.

 If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts,

do not touch the exposed internal parts. There is a possibility of an electrical shock.

 Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. High-voltage internal parts can cause

electrical shock.

 Do not look at the sun or an extremely bright light source through the camera or

lens. Doing so may damage your vision.



Keep equipment out of the reach of children and infants, including when in use. Straps or cords may accidentally cause choking, electrical shock, or injury. Choking or injury may also occur if a child or infant accidentally swallows a camera part or accessory. If a child or infant swallows a part or accessory, consult a physician immediately.

Do not use or store the equipment in dusty or humid places. Likewise, keep the battery away from metallic items and store it with its protective cover attached to prevent shortcircuit. This is to prevent fire, excessive heat, electrical shock, and burns.

 Before using the camera inside an airplane or hospital, check if it is allowed.

Electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the plane’s instruments or the hospital’s medical equipment.

 To prevent a fire and electrical shock, follow the safeguards below:

• Always insert the power plug all the way in.

• Do not handle a power plug with wet hands.

• When unplugging a power plug, grasp and pull the plug instead of the cord.

• Do not scratch, cut, or excessively bend the cord or put a heavy object on the cord. Also do not twist or tie the cords.

• Do not connect too many power plugs to the same power outlet.

• Do not use a cord whose wire is broken or insulation is damaged.

 Unplug the power plug periodically and clean off the dust around the power outlet

with a dry cloth. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power outlet may become moist and short-circuit the outlet, causing a fire.

 Do not connect the battery directly to an electrical outlet or a car’s cigarette lighter

outlet. The battery may leak, generate excessive heat or explode, causing fire, burns, or injuries.

 A thorough explanation of how to use the product by an adult is required when the

product is used by children. Supervise children while they are using the product. Incorrect usage may result in electrical shock or injury.

 Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera in the sun without the lens cap

attached. Otherwise, the lens may concentrate the sun’s rays and cause a fire.

 Do not cover or wrap the product with a cloth when using it. Doing so may trap heat

within and cause the casing to deform or catch fire.

 Be careful not to get the camera wet. If you drop the product in the water or if water

or metal get inside the product, promptly remove the battery. This is to prevent fire, electrical shock, and burns.

 Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the product.

Doing so may cause fire or a health hazard.

Page 24

Safety Precautions

Cautions:

 Do not use or store the product in a high-temperature location such as inside a car

under the hot sun. The product may become hot and cause burns. Doing so may also cause battery leakage or explosion, which will degrade the performance or shorten the life of the product.

 Do not carry the camera around when it is attached to a tripod. Doing so may cause

an injury or an accident. Also make sure the tripod is sturdy enough to support the camera and lens.

 Do not leave the product in a low-temperature environment for an extended period of

time. The product will become cold and may cause injury when touched.

 Do not fire the flash near the eyes. It may hurt the eyes.

Follow the cautions below. Otherwise, physical injury or property damage may result.

Page 25

Handling Precautions

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 clean, 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 built-in flash or mirror operation with your finger, etc. Doing

so may cause a malfunction.

 Use only a commercially-available blower to blow away dust when it adheres

to the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirror, focusing screen, etc. Do not use cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean the camera body or lens. For 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 malfunction.

 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.

Page 26

Handling Precautions

 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.

 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 nearest Canon Service Center or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.

 If you repeat continuous shooting or perform Live View shooting or movie

shooting for a prolonged period, the camera may become hot. This is not a malfunction.

 If there is a bright light source inside or outside the image area, ghosting

may occur.

LCD Panel and LCD Monitor

 Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision

technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, 0.01% or fewer of the pixels may be dead, and there may also be spots of black, red, or other colors. 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 slightly slow in low temperatures, or

look black in high temperatures. It will return to normal at room temperature.

Tips for Avoiding Smudges and Dust

 When changing lenses, do it quickly in a place with minimal dust.  When storing the camera without a lens attached, be sure to attach the

body cap to the camera.

 Remove dust on the body cap before attaching it.

The camera is compatible with all Canon EF and EF-S lenses. Note that you cannot use the EF-M lenses.

Attaching a Lens

Remove the caps.

 Remove the rear lens cap and the

body cap by turning them as shown by the arrows.

Attach the lens.

 Align the lens’s red or white index

with the camera’s index matching the same color. Turn the lens as shown by the arrow until it clicks in place.

Set the lens’s focus mode switch

to <AF>.

 <AF> stands for autofocus.  <MF> stands for manual focus.

Remove the front lens cap.

Page 52

Attaching and Detaching a Lens

 Do not look at the sun directly through any lens. Doing so may cause

loss of vision.

 When attaching or detaching a lens, set the camera’s power switch

to <2>.

 If the front part (focusing ring) of the lens rotates during autofocusing, do

not touch the rotating part.

 During viewfinder shooting or Live View shooting, if you use a TS-E lens

(except the TS-E17mm f/4L or TS-E24mm f/3.5L II) and shift or tilt the lens or use an Extension Tube, the standard exposure may not be obtained or the exposure may be irregular.

Angle of View

Since the image area is smaller than the 35mm film format, the effective angle of view of an attached lens will be equivalent to that of a lens with approx. 1.6x of the focal length indicated.

Image area (Approx.) (22.3 x 14.9 mm /

0.88 x 0.59 in.) 35mm film format

(36 x 24 mm /

1.42 x 0.94 in.)

Zooming

Detaching the Lens

Turn the zoom ring on the lens with your fingers.

 If you want to zoom, do it before

focusing. Turning the zoom ring after achieving focus may throw off the focus.

While pressing the lens release button, turn the lens as shown by the arrow.

 Turn the lens until it stops, then

detach it.

 Attach the rear lens cap to the

detached lens.

Cautions for Touch Control Operations

 Since the LCD monitor is not pressure sensitive, do not use any sharp

objects, such as your fingernail or a ballpoint pen, for touch operations.

 Do not use wet fingers for touch operations.  If the LCD monitor has any moisture or if your fingers are wet, the touch

screen may not respond or malfunction may occur. In such a case, turn off the power and wipe off the moisture with a cloth.

 Attaching any commercially-available protective sheet or sticker on the

LCD monitor may degrade the touch operation response.

 If you quickly perform touch operation when [Sensitive] is set, the touch

operation response may be slower.

Page 75

3 Formatting the Card

Low-level Formatting

 Perform low-level formatting if the card’s recording or reading speed seems

slow or if you want to totally erase the data on the card.

 Since low-level formatting will format all recordable sectors on the card, the

formatting will take slightly longer than normal formatting.

 You can stop the low-level formatting by selecting [Cancel]. Even in this

case, normal formatting will complete and you can use the card as usual.

 If you format an SDXC card with this camera and then insert it into

another camera, an error may be displayed and the card may become unusable. Certain computer operating systems or card readers may not recognize a card formatted in exFAT.

 When the card is formatted or data is erased, only the file management

information is changed. The actual data is not completely erased. Be aware of this when selling or discarding the card. When discarding the card, perform low-level formatting or destroy the card physically to prevent personal data from being leaked.

 Before using a new Eye-Fi card, the software on the card must be

installed on your computer. Then format the card with the camera.

Execute [Format card] in the following cases:

 The card is new.  The card was formatted by a different camera or a computer.  The card is full of images or data.  A card-related error is displayed (p.467).

 Card’s file formats

SD/SDHC cards will be formatted in FAT32. SDXC cards will be formatted in exFAT. When shooting a movie with a card formatted in exFAT, the movie will be recorded in a single file (instead of being split into multiple files) even if it exceeds 4 GB. (The movie file will exceed 4 GB.)

• If you are too close to the subject, move away and shoot again.

• Change the AF area selection mode and shoot again (p.129). The default setting is Automatic selection AF.

 When focus is achieved, the AF points do not light up in red.

The AF points light up in red only when focus is achieved in low light or with a dark subject.

 Multiple AF points light up simultaneously.

Focus has been achieved at all those points. You can take the picture as long as an AF point covering the target subject is lighting up.

Page 86

A Fully Automatic Shooting (Scene Intelligent Auto)

 The beeper continues to beep softly. (The focus indicator <o>

does not light up.)

It indicates that the camera is focusing continuously on a moving subject. (The focus indicator <o> does not light up.) You can take sharp pictures of a moving subject. Note that focus lock (p.87) will not work in this case.

 Pressing the shutter button halfway does not focus on the

subject.

If the focus mode switch of the lens is set to <MF> (manual focus), set it to <AF> (autofocus).

 The flash fired even if it was daylight.

For a backlit subject, the flash may fire to help lighten the subject’s dark areas. If you do not want the flash to fire, use the Quick Control to set [Built-in flash firing] to [b] (p.117) or set the <7> (Flash Off) mode and shoot (p.89).

 The built-in flash fired and the picture came out extremely

bright.

Move further away from the subject and shoot. When shooting with flash, if the subject is too close to the camera, the picture may come out extremely bright (overexposure).

 In low light, the built-in flash fired a series of flashes.

Pressing the shutter button halfway may trigger the built-in flash to fire a series of flashes to assist autofocusing. This is called the AFassist beam. Its effective range is approx. 4 meters / 13.1 feet. The built-in flash will make a sound when firing continuously. This is normal and not a malfunction.

 When flash was used, the bottom part of the picture came out

unnaturally dark.

The shadow of the lens barrel was captured in the picture because the subject was too close to the camera. Move further away from the subject and shoot. If a hood is attached to the lens, remove it before taking the flash picture.

Recomposing the Shot

Depending on the scene, positioning the subject toward the left or right to include a balanced background will result in a picture with better perspective. In the <A> mode, pressing the shutter button halfway to focus on a still subject will lock the focus on that subject. Recompose the shot while keeping the shutter button pressed halfway, and then press the shutter button completely to take the picture. This is called “focus lock”. Focus lock is also possible in other Basic Zone modes (except <5> <8: C>).

Shooting a Moving Subject

In the <A> mode, if the subject moves (distance to camera changes) during or after focusing, AI Servo AF will take effect to focus on the subject continuously. (The beeper will continue beeping softly.) As long as you keep the Area AF frame positioned over the subject while pressing the shutter button halfway, focusing will be continuous. At the decisive moment, press the shutter button completely to take the picture.

7 Shooting When You Cannot Use Flash

The camera analyzes the scene and sets the optimum settings automatically. In places where flash photography is prohibited such as in a museum or an aquarium, use the <7> (Flash Off) mode.

Shooting Tips

 Prevent camera shake if the numeric display (shutter speed) in

the viewfinder blinks.

Under low light when camera shake is prone to occur, the viewfinder’s shutter speed display will blink. Hold the camera steady or use a tripod. When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to reduce blur caused by camera shake even with handheld shooting.

 Take portraits without flash.

In low-light conditions, tell the subject to keep still until the picture is taken. Any movement by the subject during shooting may result in the subject being blurred in the picture.

Ambience Settings

1Ambience: Standard

This provides standard image characteristics.

2 Vivid

The subject looks crisp, sharp and vivid. Effective to make the picture look more impressive than with [1 Ambience: Standard].

3 Soft

The subject is less defined, giving the picture a softer and daintier look. Good for portraits, pets, flowers, etc.

4Warm

The subject is less defined with a warmer color cast, giving the picture a warmer and gentler look. Good for portraits, pets, and other subjects to which you want to give a warm look.

5 Intense

While the overall brightness is slightly lowered, the subject is emphasized for a more intense feeling in the picture. Effective to make the human or living subject stand out more.

6 Cool

The overall brightness is slightly lowered with a cooler color cast in the picture. Effective to make a subject in the shade look more calm and impressive.

7 Brighter

The picture looks brighter.

8 Darker

The picture looks darker.

9 Monochrome

The picture becomes monochrome. You can select the monochrome color to be blue, black and white, or sepia.

Page 97

2 Shooting Portraits

The default setting is (Low-speed continuous shooting). If you keep holding down the shutter button, you can shoot continuously (max. approx.

3.0 shots/sec.) to capture changes in the subject’s facial expression and pose.

The <2> (Portrait) mode blurs the background to make the human subject stand out. It also makes skin tones and hair look softer.

Shooting Tips

 Select the location where the distance between the subject and

the background is the farthest.

The further the distance between the subject and background, the more blurred the background will look. The subject will also stand out better against an uncluttered dark background.

 Use a telephoto lens.

If you have a zoom lens, use the telephoto end to fill the frame with the subject from the waist up. Move in closer if necessary.

 Focus on the face.

Check that the AF point covering the face lights up. For close-ups of the face, focus on the eyes.

Page 98

3 Shooting Landscapes

 The built-in flash will not fire even in backlit or low-light conditions.  If you are using an external Speedlite, the Speedlite will fire.

Use the <3> (Landscape) mode for wide scenery or to have everything in focus from near to far. For vivid blues and greens, and very sharp and crisp images.

Shooting Tips

 With a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end.

When using a zoom lens, set the lens to the wide-angle end to make the objects near and far in focus. It also adds breadth to landscapes.

 Shooting night scenes.

The <3> mode is also good for night scenes because it disables the built-in flash. When shooting night scenes, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.

Page 99

4 Shooting Close-ups

When you want to shoot flowers or small things up close, use the <4> (Close-up) mode. To make small things appear much larger, use a macro lens (sold separately).

Shooting Tips

 Use a simple background.

A simple background makes small objects such as flowers stand out better.

 Move in as close as possible to the subject.

Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. Some lenses have indications such as <0.39m/1.3ft> on them. The lens minimum focusing distance is measured from the <V> (focal plane) mark on the top of the camera to the subject. If you are too close to the subject, the focus indicator <o> will blink. If the built-in flash is fired and the bottom part of the picture comes out unnaturally dark, move away a little from the subject and try again.

 With a zoom lens, use the telephoto end.

If you have a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the subject look larger.

5 Shooting Moving Subjects

 The built-in flash will not fire even in backlit or low-light conditions.  Under low light where camera shake tends to occur, the viewfinder’s

shutter speed display on the bottom left will blink. Hold the camera steady and shoot.

 If you are using an external Speedlite, the Speedlite will fire.

Use the <5> (Sports) mode to shoot a moving subject, such as a running person or a moving vehicle.

Shooting Tips

 Use a telephoto lens.

Use of a telephoto lens is recommended for shooting from a distance.

 Track the subject with the Area AF frame.

Press the shutter button halfway to start autofocusing in Area AF frame. During autofocusing, the beeper will continue beeping softly. If focus cannot be achieved, the focus indicator <o> will blink. The default setting is <o> (High-speed continuous shooting*). At the decisive moment, press the shutter button completely to take the

picture. If you keep holding down the shutter button, you can shoot continuously while maintaining autofocusing to capture changes in the subject’s movement.

* Viewfinder shooting: max. approx. 6.0 shots/sec., Live View shooting: max.

approx. 4.5 shots/sec.
