Before following any instructions, make sure the power switch is set to < > and the Multi-function lock feature is off ( , ). It is assumed that all the menu settings and Custom Functions are set to their defaults. Screen shots in this guide show the default menu settings for NTSC regions (North America, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, etc.) as an example. Default menu settings for Europe, Russia, China, Australia, etc. will be for PAL. Illustrations in this guide show the camera with the EF-S18-55mm lens attached as an example. The sample photos displayed on the camera and used in this guide are for instructional purposes only.

Compatible Cards

The following cards can be used with the camera regardless of capacity. If the card is new or was previously formatted (initialized) by another camera or computer, format the card with this camera ( ).

SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards

UHS-I cards supported.

Cards That Can Record Movies

When recording movies, use a high-capacity card with ample performance (fast enough writing and reading speeds) for the movie recording size. For details, see Cards That Can

Record Movies.

In this guide, “card” refers to SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, and SDXC memory cards.

* A card is not included. Please purchase it separately.

Denotes the risk of injury.

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 the camera gets wet,

contact a Canon Service Center immediately. 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

malfunction 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 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, 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.

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.

The camera may become hot after repeated continuous shooting, Live View shooting, or

movie shooting over an extended period. This is not a malfunction.

If there is a bright light source inside or outside the image area, ghosting may occur.

Screen

Although the screen 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. This is not a malfunction. They do not affect the

images recorded.

If the screen 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 screen display may seem slightly slow in low temperatures or may look black in

high temperatures. 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 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 that has a strong magnetic field, such as a

television, speakers, or magnets. 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.

Smudges on the image 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 smudges are visible on images, have the sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center.

Lens

After detaching the lens from the camera, put down the lens with the rear end up and

attach the rear lens cap to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts
