MANUAL

Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.

The EOS 450D is a high-performance, digital single-lens reflex camera with a 12.20-megapixel image sensor. The camera provides many features such as Picture Styles to expand your photographic expression, fast and high-precision 9-point autofocus for moving subjects, and diverse shooting modes for beginners as well as advanced users.

It also incorporates the EOS Integrated Cleaning System to eliminate dust spots on images and the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit to shake off dust on the sensor.

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, read the Safety Warnings (p.186,187) and Handling Precautions (p.12,13).

Test the Camera Before Using 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 the personal 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.

This camera is compatible with SD memory cards and SDHC memory cards. This manual will refer to all these cards as just “card.” * The camera does not come with a card (for recording images).

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 your nearest Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe 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 the camera. 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

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 temporarily and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days.

Cards

Cards are precision devices. Do not drop the card or subject it to vibration.

Doing so could damage the images recorded on them.

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. Otherwise, the images recorded on the card might be lost.

Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Doing so can

warp the cards and make them unusable.

Do not spill any liquid onto the card. Always store your cards in a case to protect the data stored on them. Do not bend the card or subject it to any excessive force or physical shock. Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.

Lens Electrical Contacts

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

When you shoot continuously for a prolonged period or use Live View shooting for a long 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.

Getting Started

This chapter explains preliminary steps and basic camera operations.

Recharging the Battery

Remove the protective cover.

Attach the battery.

As shown in the illustration, attach the

battery securely.

To detach the battery, follow the

above procedure in reverse.

LC-E5

LC-E5E

Recharge the battery.

For LC-E5

As shown by the arrow, flip out the

battery charger’s prongs and insert the prongs into a power outlet.

For LC-E5E

Connect the power cord to the

charger and insert the plug into the power outlet.

X Recharging starts automatically and

the charge lamp turns orange.

X When the battery is fully recharged,

the charge lamp will turn green.

It takes about 2 hours to fully

recharge a completely exhausted battery. The time required to recharge the battery depends on the ambient temperature and battery’s charge level.

Recharging the Battery

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 non-use or storage, a charged battery will gradually discharge and lose its power.

After recharging the battery, detach it and unplug 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 attached. 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. 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 worn out.

Purchase a new battery.

Do not charge any battery other than Battery Pack LP-E5. Battery Pack LP-E5 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.

Installing and Removing the Battery

Installing the Battery

Load a fully charged Battery Pack LP-E5 into the camera.

Open the battery compartment

cover.

Slide the lever as shown by the arrow

and open the cover.

Insert the battery.

Insert the end with the battery

contacts.

Insert the battery until it locks in

place.

Close the cover.

Press the cover until it snaps shut.

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 shorting, be sure to attach

the protective cover to the battery.

Do not further push open the battery compartment cover when it is already open. Doing so may damage its hinge.

Turning on the Power

When you turn on the power switch and the date/time setting screen appears, see page 29 to set the date/time.

does not operate. Set to this position when not using the camera.

About the Automatic Self-Cleaning Sensor

Whenever you set the power switch to <1> or <2>, the sensor

cleaning will be executed automatically. During the sensor cleaning, the LCD monitor will display <f>. Even during the sensor cleaning, you can still shoot by pressing the shutter button halfway (p.37) to stop the sensor cleaning and take a picture.

If you turn on/off the power switch <1>/<2> at a short interval,

the <f> icon might not be displayed. This is normal and not a problem.

About Auto Power Off

To save battery power, the camera turns off automatically after about

30 seconds of non-operation. To turn on the camera again, just press the shutter button.

You can change the auto power-off time with the menu’s [5 Auto

power off] setting. (p.109)

If you set the power switch to <2> while an image is being recorded to the card, [Recording ...] will be displayed and the power will turn off after the card finishes recording the image.

Turning on the Power

Checking the Battery Level

When the power switch is set to <1>, the battery level will be indicated in one of four levels:

z : Battery level OK.

x : Battery level is slightly down,

but adequate power remains.

c : Battery will be exhausted soon.

n : Battery must be recharged.

Battery Life

Temperature

At 23°C / 73°F 600 500

At 0°C / 32°F 500 400

The figures above are based on a fully-charged LP-E5, no Live View shooting,

and CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) testing standards.

The actual number of shots may be fewer than indicated above

depending on the shooting conditions.

Pressing the shutter button halfway for long periods or operating only the

autofocus can also reduce the number of possible shots.

The number of possible shots will decrease with more frequent use of
