Introduction

Before Starting to Shoot, Be Sure to Read the Following

To avoid shooting problems and accidents, rst read the “Safety
Instructions” (p.25–27) and “Handling Precautions” (p.28–30).
Also, read this manual carefully to ensure that you use the camera
correctly.

Refer to This Manual while Using the Camera to Further
Familiarize Yourself with the Camera

While reading this manual, take a few test shots and see how they

come out. You can then better understand the camera. Be sure to

store this manual safely, too, so that you can refer to it again when
necessary.

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 imported 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.

Connecting Other Devices

Use the included interface cable or a genuine Canon cable when connecting
the camera to a computer or other device. When connecting an interface
cable, also use the included cable protector (p.37).

Handling Precautions

Camera Care

zThis camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to

physical shock.

zThe camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater.
zTo maximize the camera’s dust- and drip- resistance, keep the

terminal cover, battery compartment cover, card slot cover, and all

other covers rmly closed.

zThis camera is designed to be dust- and drip- resistant, in order to

help prevent sand, dust, dirt, or water that falls on it unexpectedly

from getting inside, but it is impossible to prevent dirt, dust, water,

or salt from getting inside at all. As far as possible, do not allow dirt,

dust, water, or salt to get on the camera.

zIf water gets on the camera, wipe it o󰀨 with a dry and clean cloth. If

dirt, dust, or salt gets on the camera, wipe it o󰀨 with a clean, well-

wrung wet cloth.

zUsing the camera in a location with large amounts of dirt or dust may

cause a malfunction.

zCleaning the camera after use is recommended. Allowing dirt, dust,

water, or salt to remain on the camera may cause a malfunction.

zIf you accidentally drop the camera into water or are concerned that

moisture (water), dirt, dust, or salt may have gotten inside it, promptly

consult the nearest Canon Service Center.

zNever leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic eld

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 elds can cause camera malfunction or

destroy image data.

zDo not leave the camera in excessive heat, such as in a car in direct

sunlight. High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.

zThe camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to

disassemble the camera yourself.

28

Handling Precautions

zDo not block shutter curtain operation with your nger or other

objects. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

zUse only a commercially available blower to blow away dust when it

adheres to the lens, viewnder, 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.

zDo not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your ngers. This

is to prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can
cause camera malfunction.

zIf 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, rst put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it
adjust to the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.

zIf 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.

zIf 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.

zAvoid storing the camera where there are chemicals that result in

rust and corrosion such as in a chemical lab.

zIf 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.

zThe camera may become hot after repeated continuous shooting

or still photo/movie shooting over an extended period. This is not a
malfunction.

zIf there is a bright light source inside or outside the image area,

ghosting may occur.

29

Handling Precautions

(1)

Screen, Viewnder, and LCD Panel

z Although the screen and viewnder are manufactured with very

high precision technology with over 99.99% e󰀨ective 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

a󰀨ect the images recorded.

zIf the screen and viewnder are 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.

z 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.

Shutter

zShutter blades may become scu󰀨ed from shutter operations, but this

does not indicate damage.

Cards

To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:

zDo not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive

force, physical shock, or vibration.

zDo not touch the card’s electronic contacts with your ngers or

anything metallic.

zDo not a󰀩x any stickers, etc. on the card.
zDo not store or use the card near anything that has a strong

magnetic eld, such as a television, speakers, or magnets. Also

avoid places prone to having static electricity.

zDo not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
zStore the card in a case.
zDo not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.

Basic Operations

Shutter Button

The shutter button has two steps. You can press the shutter button
halfway. Then you can further press the shutter button completely.

Pressing Halfway

This activates autofocusing and the
automatic exposure system that sets the

shutter speed and aperture.

The exposure setting (shutter speed and
aperture) is displayed on the screen, in
the viewnder, or on the LCD panel for
approx. 8 sec. or as set for the metering

timer.*

* By default, the metering timer is set to 8 sec.

Pressing Completely

This action shoots.

zPreventing Camera Shake

Hand-held camera movement during the moment of exposure is

called camera shake. It can cause blurred pictures. To prevent

camera shake, note the following:

●Hold the camera steady.

●Press the shutter button halfway to autofocus, then slowly press

the shutter button completely.

oIf you press the shutter button completely without pressing it halfway rst,

or if you press the shutter button halfway and then press it completely
immediately, the camera will take a moment before it takes the picture.

oEven during menu display or image playback, you can go back to

shooting-ready state by pressing the shutter button halfway.

change, you can process the RAW image to create any number of
JPEG images with various processing conditions.
You can use Digital Photo Professional (EOS software) to process
RAW images. You can make various adjustments to images depending
upon how they will be used and can generate JPEG or other types of
images reecting the e󰀨ects of those adjustments.

RAW Image Processing Software

oTo display RAW images on a computer, using Digital Photo Professional

(hereafter DPP, EOS software) is recommended.

oPrevious versions of DPP Ver.4.x cannot process RAW images taken

with this camera. If a previous version of DPP Ver.4.x is installed on your
computer, obtain and install the latest version of DPP from the Canon
Web site to update it (p.572). (The previous version will be overwritten.)
Note that DPP Ver.3.x or earlier cannot process RAW images taken with

this camera.

oCommercially available software may not be able to display RAW

images taken with this camera. For compatibility information, contact the
software manufacturer.

Setting Image Quality

Guidelines for Choosing Image Quality

For guidelines on le sizes, number of possible shots, and maximum
burst shots, see page 609.

Maximum Burst for Continuous Shooting

The approximate maximum burst
is displayed at the upper left of the
shooting screen and lower right of the
viewnder.
If the maximum burst for continuous
shooting is 99 or higher, “99” will be
displayed.

If the maximum burst is displayed as “99”, it indicates that you can shoot
99 or more shots continuously. The value starts decreasing once it reaches
98 or less. [BUSY] on the screen and LCD panel indicates that the
internal bu󰀨er memory is full and shooting will stop temporarily. If you stop
continuous shooting, the maximum burst will increase. After all the captured
images are written to the card, you can resume continuous shooting and
shoot up to the maximum burst listed in the table on page 609.

Setting the ISO Speed for Still Photos

ISO Speed Guide

zLow ISO speeds reduce image noise but may increase the risk of

camera/subject shake or reduce the area in focus (shallower depth

of eld), in some shooting conditions.

zHigh ISO speeds enable low-light shooting, a larger area in focus

(deeper depth of eld), and longer ash range but may increase

image noise.

oAs H1 (equivalent to ISO 51200) and H2 (equivalent to ISO 102400)

are expanded ISO speed settings, noise (dots of light, banding, etc.)
and irregular colors will be more noticeable, and the resolution lower
compared with the standard setting.

oAs L (equivalent to ISO 50) is an expanded ISO speed setting, the

dynamic range will be somewhat narrower compared with the standard

setting.

oIf [z3: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable] or [Enhanced]

(p.109), L (equivalent to ISO 50), ISO 100/125/160, H1 (equivalent to
ISO 51200), and H2 (equivalent to ISO 102400) cannot be selected.

oWhen shooting with a high ISO speed, high temperature, long exposure,

or multiple exposure, image noise (rough grain, dots of light, banding,
etc.), irregular colors, or color shift may become noticeable.

oWhen shooting in conditions that produce an extreme amount of noise,

such as a combination of high ISO speed, high temperature, and long
exposure, images may not be recorded properly.

oIf you use a high ISO speed and ash to shoot a close subject,

overexposure may result.
