Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.
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.219,220) and Handling Precautions (p.12,13).
Testing 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 a personal computer, Canon cannot be held liable for any loss or inconvenience caused.

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 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 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 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.
Handling Precautions
13
Handling Precautions
LCD Panel and 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 temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days.
In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow or it
might look black. 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, and vibration.
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, attach the lens caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical 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 preparatory steps and basic camera operations.
Attaching the Strap
Pass the end of the strap through the camera’s strap mount eyelet from the bottom. Then pass it through the strap’s buckle as shown in the illustration. Pull the strap to take up any slack and make sure the strap will not loosen from the buckle.
The eyepiece cover is also
attached to the strap (p.100).
Eyepiece cover

1
Remove the protective cover.
2
Attach the battery.
As shown in the illustration, attach the
battery securely.
To detach the battery, follow the
above procedure in reverse.
3
Recharge the battery. For LC-E6
As shown by the arrow, flip out the
battery charger’s prongs and insert the prongs into a power outlet.
For LC-E6E
Connect the power cord to the
charger and insert the plug into the power outlet.
X Recharging starts automatically and
the charge lamp blinks in orange.
It takes about 2.5 hours to fully recharge a completely exhausted battery at 23°C / 73°F. The time required to recharge the battery depends on the ambient temperature and battery’s charge level.
For safety reasons, recharging in low temperatures (5°C - 10°C /
41
°
F - 50°F) will take a longer time (up to 4 hours).

Charging the Battery
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 power
cord or prongs from the power outlet.
You can attach the cover in a different
orientation to indicate whether the battery has been recharged or not.
If the battery has been recharged, attach the cover so that the battery-shaped hole < > is aligned over the blue sticker on the battery. If the battery is exhausted, attach the cover in the opposite orientation.
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 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 worn out.
Purchase a new battery.
Tips for Using the Battery and Charger
The charger cannot charge any battery other than Battery Pack LP-E6. Battery Pack LP-E6 is dedicated to Canon products only. Using it with an

<2> : The camera is turned off and
does not operate. Set to this position when not using the camera.
<1> : The camera turns on. <J> : The camera and <5> operate
(p.37).
Whenever you set the power switch to <1/J> 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.35) to stop the sensor cleaning and take a picture.
If you turn on/off the power switch <1/J>/<2> at a short
interval, the <f> icon might not be displayed. This is normal and not a problem.
To save battery power, the camera turns off automatically after about
1 minute of non-operation. To turn on the camera again, just press the shutter button halfway (p.35).
You can change the auto power-off time with the menu’s [5 Auto

Possible shots Approx. 850 Approx. 750
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
the LCD monitor.
The lens operation is powered by the camera’s battery. Depending on
the lens used, the number of possible shots may be lower.
Using the Image Stabilizer of the lens will decrease the number of
possible shots (shorter battery life).
For battery life with Live View shooting, see page 111. See the [7 Battery info.] menu to further check the battery’s condition
(p.192).
If size-AA/LR6 batteries are used in Battery Grip BG-E6, a four-level
indicator will be displayed. ([ / ] will not be displayed.)

Removing the Card
Access lamp
Card ejection button
The access lamp lights or blinks while the picture is taken, when
data is being transferred to the card and when data is being recorded, read, or erased on the card. While the access lamp is lit or blinking, never do any of the following. Doing so may damage the image data. It may also damage the card or camera.
• Opening the card slot cover.
• Removing the battery.
• Shaking or banging the camera around.
If the card already contains recorded images, the image number might
not start from 0001 (p.74).
If a card-related error message is displayed on the LCD monitor, remove
and reinstall the card. If the error persists, use a different card. If you can transfer all the images in the card to a personal computer, transfer all the images and then format the card. The card may then return to normal.
When holding a hard disk-type card, always hold its sides. You may
damage the card by holding its flat surfaces. Compared to CF cards, hard disk-type cards are more vulnerable to vibration and physical shock. If you use such a card, be careful not to subject the camera to vibration or physical shock especially while recording or displaying images.
