many features for demanding shots.
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 pictures and accidents, first read the “Safety Warnings”
(p.96, 97) and “Handling Precautions” (p.8, 9).
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.
This camera is compatible with SD memory cards, SDHC memory
cards, and SDXC memory cards. In this manual, “card” refers to all these
cards.
* The camera does not come with a card for recording images/
movies. Please purchase it separately.
Cards that can record movies
When shooting movies, use a large-capacity SD card rated SD Speed Class 6
“ ” or higher (p.75).

Handling Precautions
COPY
Camera Care
This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical
shock.
Do not point the camera-attached lens toward the sun. The sun’s heat can
damage the camera’s internal components.
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 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 incorrect operation 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 shutter operation with your finger, etc. Doing so may cause a
malfunction.
Use a blower to blow away any dust on the lens. 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 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.
When you detach the lens, the image sensor will be exposed. To prevent
scratching the image sensor, do not touch the image sensor.

Handling Precautions
COPY
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 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 with the same screen displayed,
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.
After changing the LCD monitor’s brightness settings, the display may look a little coarse,
depending on the subject. This is not a malfunction and will not affect the recorded image.
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 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 lens with
the rear end up and attach the lens caps to avoid scratching the
lens surface and electrical contacts.
Contacts
Cautions regarding 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.
About smudges adhering to the front of the sensor
Besides dust entering the camera from outside, in rare cases lubricant from the
camera’s internal parts may adhere to the front of the sensor. If visible spots still
remain after the automatic sensor cleaning, having the sensor cleaned by a Canon
Service Center is recommended.
About the lens mount
Periodically cleaning the camera’s body and lens mount with a soft lens cleaning cloth
is recommended.

Charging the Battery
COPY
Tips for Using the Battery and Charger
Upon purchase, the battery is not fully charged.
Recharge the battery before using.
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.
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 (provided) 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.
Purchase a new battery.
After disconnecting the charger’s power plug, do not touch the prongs for at
least 3 sec.
Do not charge any battery other than a Battery Pack LP-E12.
Battery Pack LP-E12 is dedicated to Canon products only. Using it with an
incompatible battery charger or product may result in malfunction or accidents
for which Canon cannot be held liable.
21
