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 clean,

dry cloth, and if the camera is exposed to salty air, wipe it off 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.

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, to avoid damage, do not use the camera or

remove the card. Turn the camera off and wait until the moisture has fully evaporated

before resuming use. Even after the camera is completely dry, if it is still internally cold,

do not remove the card until the camera has adjusted to the ambient temperature.

Condensation may form inside the camera lens if you record 4K movies in [Smooth

skin movie] mode in humid environments. Keep the camera off until the moisture has

evaporated before resuming use. If the condensation does not dissipate, try changing

the recording mode or setting the camera to an option other than 4K movies.

If the camera will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry, well-

ventilated location. Record occasionally during storage to make sure the camera is still

working correctly.

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 or still photo/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.

When shooting with backlighting, keep the sun sufficiently away from the angle of view.

Always keep intense light sources such as the sun, lasers, and other intense artificial

light sources out of the image area and not near it. Concentrated intense light may

cause smoke or damage the image sensor or other internal components.

Screen

The following does not affect images captured by the camera.

Although the screen is produced under extremely high-precision manufacturing

conditions and more than 99.99% of the pixels meet design specifications, 0.01% or

fewer pixels may be defective or appear as red or black dots. This is not a malfunction.

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.

Cards may become hot after long sessions of repeated continuous shooting or still photo

shooting/movie recording. This is not a malfunction.

Charging the Camera

Charge the camera.

Charge the camera over a USB connection with the included cable. After charging begins, the indicator turns orange. The indicator goes off after the camera is fully charged.

Charging the camera when it is fully depleted takes approx. 1 hr. and 50 min. at

room temperature (23°C/73°F). The time required to charge the battery will vary greatly

depending on the ambient temperature and the battery's remaining capacity.

For safety, charging in low temperatures (5–10°C/41–50°F) takes longer.

The camera can also be used while plugged in for charging.

Caution

Charging may stop if the camera becomes hot.

Note

For charging and powering the camera, an optional USB Power Adapter PD-E1 is recommended. Some commercially available power adapters (USB Type-C) have also been confirmed to work with the camera. For details, check the Canon website (

Upon purchase, the built-in battery is not fully charged.

Charge the battery before use.

Charge the camera on the day you will use it or the day before.

The built-in battery will gradually lose its charge, even if it is not used.

Use the camera where the temperature is 0–35°C (32–95°F).

For optimal camera performance, use where the ambient temperature is 0–35°C (32–

95°F). Lower temperatures may temporarily reduce the performance and life of the built-

in battery. Higher temperatures may prevent continuous shooting if the camera becomes

hot.

Movie recording format

[ ] MP4

All movies you record with the camera are recorded as movie files in MP4 format (file extension “.MP4”).

Caution

If you change the [ : Video system] setting, also set [ : Movie rec. size] again. Normal playback of files such as 4K or / movies may not be possible

on other devices, because playback is processing-intensive. Image quality (sense of resolution, noise, etc.) varies slightly depending on the movie recording size setting.

Note

To obtain better performance with the card, formatting the card with the camera before recording movies is recommended ( Movies cannot be recorded in HD or VGA quality.

Page 63

4K Movie Recording

Recording 4K movies requires a stable card with a fast writing speed. For details, see

Cards That Can Record Movies.

4K movie recording greatly increases the processing load, which may increase the internal camera temperature faster or higher than for regular movies. If a white

[

] or red [ ] icon appears during movie recording, the card may be hot, so stop recording the movie and let the camera cool down before removing the card. (Do not remove the card immediately.) Condensation may form inside the camera lens if you record 4K movies in [Smooth skin movie] mode in humid environments.

Page 64

Cards That Can Record Movies

See

Card performance requirements for details on cards supporting all movie recording

sizes.

Test cards by recording a few movies to make sure they can record correctly at your specified size (

Caution

If you use a slow-writing card when recording movies, the movie may not be recorded properly. Also, if you play back a movie on a card with a slow reading speed, the movie may not be played back properly. When recording movies, use high-performance cards with a writing speed sufficiently higher than the bit rate. When movies cannot be recorded properly, format the card and try again. If formatting the card does not resolve the problem, refer to the card manufacturer's website, etc.

Note

To obtain better performance with the card, formatting the card with the camera before recording movies is recommended ( To check the card's writing/reading speed, refer to the card manufacturer's website, etc.

Page 65

Movie Recording Time Limit

The maximum recording time per movie is 1 hr. Once 1 hr. is reached, recording stops automatically. You can start recording a movie again by pressing the Start/Stop button (which records the movie as a new file).

Caution

The camera's internal temperature may rise and less recording time may be available after extended movie playback/Live View display.

Sound Recording

Sound Recording/Sound-Recording Level

Wind Filter

You can record movies while recording sound with the built-in stereo microphone or an external stereo microphone. You can also freely adjust the sound-recording level.

Use [

: Sound recording] to set sound recording functions.

Caution

Sounds from Wi-Fi operations may be captured with built-in or external microphones. For best results, avoid using wireless features when recording. If you perform camera operations during movie recording, the camera's built-in microphone may also record sounds of lens or camera operations. If so, it may help reduce these sounds if you use an external microphone equipped with an output plug and position it away from the camera. Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the camera's external microphone IN terminal.

Page 67

Note

Audio is also output when the camera is connected to televisions via HDMI, unless [Sound recording] is set to [Disable]. In case of feedback from television audio output, move the camera away from the television or turn down the volume. The volume balance between L/R (left/right) cannot be adjusted.
