CAUTIONS
•Avoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places subject to strong sunlight or high
temperatures, such as the dashboard or trunk (boot) of a car. Exposure to intense
sunlight and heat may cause the batteries to leak, overheat or explode, resulting in fire,
burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing.
Ensure that there is good ventilation when using Ni-MH Charger NC-E2 to charge NP-E3.
Do not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas. Storage in these areas could lead to
fire, electrical shock or other damage.
Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong impacts or shocks that could lead
to injury or damage the equipment when wearing or holding it by the neck strap.
PREVENTING MALFUNCTIONS
Avoid Strong Electromagnetic Fields
Never place the camera near electric motors or other equipment generating strong
electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong electromagnetic fields may cause malfunctions
or corrupt image data.
Avoid Condensation
Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensa-
tion (water droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces. You can avoid this by
placing the equipment in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to
temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.
If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera
Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation. Continued use may
damage the equipment. Remove the CF card and battery or DC Coupler Kit (if con-
nected) from the camera and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before
resuming use.
Extended Storage
When not using the camera for extended periods of time, remove the battery (except the
lithium battery CR2025) and store the equipment in a safe place. Storing the camera for
extended periods with a battery installed will run down the battery and may damage the
camera.
PREVENTING MALFUNCTIONS
When the CF Card Access Lamp is blinking, do not open the CF card slot cover. Since
the card is reading and writing data when the lamp is blinking opening the CF card slot
cover at this time will damage the image data.
Do not use any cable other than that supplied with the camera. Use the supplied interface
cable to connect the camera to a computer. Use of any other cable may lead to a
malfunction.
SKIN BURN HAZARD
When the camera’s main switch is < > for a prolonged period, the camera body may
become hot. Although this is not a malfunction, holding the camera for a long period may
cause low-degree skin burns. Take care to avoid skin burns.
10
Handling Cautions
Camera Care
(1) The camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical shock.
(2) This camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you drop the camera
into water, promptly consult your nearest Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water

present.
(12) If the camera has not been used for an extended period or if the camera is to be used for
an important event, check the operation of all the camera controls or take it to your
nearest Canon Service Center.
LCD Monitor and LCD Panels
(1) The color LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision technology. There may
be a few dead pixels where a black, red, or green pixel is always displayed. They number
no more than 0.02 percent (standard tolerance) of all effective pixels. They also do not
affect the images recorded.
(2) Do not press hard against the LCD monitor or LCD panel or subject it to physical shock.
Doing so may result in a warped display or malfunction.
(3) If the LCD monitor or LCD panels become dirty, use a blower brush or soft cloth to clean.

Installing and Removing the CF Card
C.Fn-08, instead of displaying the number of remaining shots, you can display the
ISO speed. And instead of displaying the file number, you can display the number of
remaining shots.(p.135)
The number of remaining shots depends on how much capacity remains in the
CF card and the ISO speed setting.
The file number is displayed in accordance with the file numbering method you
set. (p.56) If auto reset has been set, the highest file number in the current
folder will be displayed. If continuous numbering has been set, the file number of
the last captured image will be displayed.
Before opening the CF card slot cover:
Set the < > switch to < >.
Make sure “ ” is not displayed on the top LCD
panel.
Make sure the access lamp is off, then open the
cover.
1
Removing the CF Card
Press the CF card eject button to pop
up the CF card, then take out the card.
Close the cover.
2
Access lamp
While the access lamp is blinking (“ is displayed in the viewfinder and
on the top LCD panel), do not shake or hit the camera, remove battery, or
open the CF card slot cover. Such actions may destroy the image data or
damage the camera.
After the picture is taken, menu operations will not work during the processing
and writing to the CF card (access lamp blinks). If you press the <
> button
during this time, “Busy” will be displayed on the LCD monitor.
If a CF card is used for the first time or “ ” is displayed on the top LCD
panel, see “Formatting a CF Card” on page 126 to format the card.
Do not use a low-capacity CF card. If the image file size is large, the CF card may
not be able to save it.
A microdrive is a recording medium using a hard disk. It has a large capacity and
the price per megabyte is low. However, compared to a CF card equipped with a
flash memory, it is vulnerable to vibration and physical shock. If you use a
microdrive, be careful not to subject the camera to vibration, shake, or physical
shock while it is recording or displaying images.

Basic Operation
Main Switch
The camera can operate only after the < > switch is turned on. This switch has three settings:
< >: The camera does not operate. Set to this
position when not using the camera.
<
>:To turn on the camera, set to this position.
< >:This is the same as < > and it also enables
the beeper to sound in the following cases:

Focus is achieved with manual focus.
To save battery power, the camera turns off automatically after 1 minute of non-
operation. (p.130) To turn on the camera again, just press the shutter button halfway.
If you turn the < > switch to < > immediately after taking a picture, the
access lamp may continue blinking for a few seconds while the CF card records
the image data. After the image is recorded, the access lamp will stop blinking
and the camera will turn off.
Shutter Button
You can press the shutter button halfway or all the way.
Halfway pressing ( )
When you press the shutter button halfway,
autofocusing (AF) is activated to focus the subject and
auto exposure metering is used to set the correct
shutter speed and aperture.
The shutter speed and aperture settings are displayed
in the viewfinder and on the top LCD panel.
Full pressing
This releases the shutter and takes the picture.
If you press the shutter button halfway and ( ) elapse, press it halfway again and wait a
moment before pressing it fully to take a picture. If you press the shutter button fully without
pressing it halfway first or if you press the shutter button halfway and then press it fully
immediately, the camera will still take a moment before it takes the picture.
Pressing the shutter button halfway will also make the camera standby to take a picture at any time.
Therefore, even while you are playing back images on the LCD monitor or operating the on-screen
menu or if the camera is recording image data, you can go back to taking pictures on the spot.
