expand shooting possibilities.
Take a Few Test Shots to 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 pictures and accidents, first read the Safety Warnings
(p.266,267) and Handling Precautions (p.12,13).
Testing the Camera Before Use and Liability
After shooting, playback and check whether the image has 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 of people and certain subjects for anything but private
enjoyment. Also be aware that certain public performances, exhibitions,
etc., may prohibit photography even for private enjoyment.
Memory Cards
In this manual, “CF card” refers to CompactFlash cards and “SD card”
refers to SD/SDHC cards. “Card” refers to all memory cards used to
record images or movies. The camera does not come with a card for
recording images/movies. Please purchase it separately.

Handling Precautions
COPY
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 your nearest
Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry 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.
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. 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
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 the 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 corrosive chemicals such as a
darkroom or 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 coming up, have the camera checked by your Canon
dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.

Handling Precautions
COPY
LCD Panel and LCD Monitor
Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision
technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there might be a few dead
pixels among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying
only black or red, etc., 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.
In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow or it
might look black. It will return to normal at room temperature.
Cards
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 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, attach the
lens caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to
avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical
contacts.
Contacts
Cautions During Prolonged Use
If you use continuous shooting, Live View shooting, or movie shooting for a
prolonged period, the camera may become hot. Although this is not a
malfunction, holding the hot camera for a long period can cause slight skin
burns.

This chapter explains preliminary steps and basic
camera operations.
Minimizing 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.

Tips for Using the Battery and Charger
Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be used.
Even during storage, a charged battery will gradually discharge and
lose its power.
After recharging the battery, detach it and unplug the power
cord from the power outlet.
When not using the battery and charger, attach the protective covers.
Use the battery in an ambient temperature range of 0°C - 45°C /
32°F - 113°F.
To attain best battery performance, an ambient temperature of 10°C 30°C / 50°F - 86°F is recommended. In cold locations such as snowy
areas, battery performance and operation time may temporarily decrease.
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. Take out the battery from the camera and
attach the protective cover before storing. Storing the battery after it
is fully charged can 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.
Check the battery performance.
While the battery is recharging, press the
PERFORMANCE
<
performance level indicated by the Charge level indicator.
(Green) : Battery performance is fine.
(Green) : Battery’s recharge performance is slightly degraded.
(Red) : Purchasing a new battery is recommended.
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.247) and purchase a new battery.

Charging the Battery
COPY
Use the Car’s Cigarette Lighter Socket to Recharge the Battery
With Car Battery Cable CB-570 (sold separately), you can connect the
charger’s car battery cable socket (<DC IN> terminal) to your car’s
cigarette lighter socket.
When recharging the battery this way, be sure that the car’s engine
is running. If the car engine is off, disconnect the car battery cable
from the cigarette lighter socket. If you leave the car battery cable
connected to the cigarette lighter socket, it may drain the car battery.
Do not use a transformer for the car with the battery charger.
Battery charging from a car battery is possible only with a 12 V DC
or 24 V DC car battery in a minus-grounded car. The shape or
dimensions of the cigarette lighter socket in certain cars might not be
compatible with the car battery cable.
The <CAL/CHARGE> Lamp Blinks in Red
This indicates that you should calibrate the battery so that the correct
battery level is detected and the camera’s battery level indicator can
display the correct battery level. Calibration is not a required
operation. If you want to just recharge the battery, you can let the
battery start recharging automatically after approx. 10 sec. If you
want to do the calibration, press the <

After the calibration is completed, the battery will start recharging
automatically. Note that the less depleted the battery, the longer the
calibration will take. The <

of hours it will take to complete the calibration (power discharge). If the

After the calibration is completed and the battery is totally drained, it
will take a further 2 hours to recharge the battery fully. If you want to
stop the calibration before it is completed and start recharging the
battery, remove the battery from the charger and attach it again.
