3.0 shots/sec. continuous shooting, Live View shooting, Full High-Definition (Full HD) movie shooting, and Wi-Fi (wireless communication) function.

Before Starting to Shoot, Be Sure to Read the Following

To avoid botched pictures and accidents, first read the “Safety Instructions” (p.20-22) and “Handling Precautions” (p.23-25). 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 downloaded to a computer, Canon cannot be held liable for any loss or inconvenience caused.

Compatible Cards

The camera can use UHS-I cards, but since it is not compatible with the UHS-I standard, writing/reading speeds will be equivalent to SD Speed Class 10 at most.

In this manual, “card” refers to SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, and SDXC memory cards. * The camera does not come with a card for recording images/

movies. Please purchase it separately.

camera or computer, it is recommended that you format the card with this camera (p.52).

• SD memory cards

• SDHC memory cards

• SDXC memory cards

Cards that Can Record Movies

When shooting movies, use a large-capacity SD card rated SD Speed Class 6 “ ” or higher.

 If you use a slow-writing card when shooting 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 play back properly.

 To check the card’s writing/reading speed, refer to the card

manufacturer’s website.

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 the nearest Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry and clean 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.

 The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to

disassemble the camera yourself.

 Do not block the built-in flash or 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, reflex 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 may 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 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.

Handling Precautions

Lens mount

 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.

 If you use continuous shooting, Live View shooting, or movie shooting for a

prolonged period, the camera may become hot. This is not a malfunction.

 If there is a bright light source inside or outside the image area, ghosting

may occur.

LCD Monitor

 Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision

technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there may be a few dead pixels displaying only black or red, etc. among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels 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.

 The LCD monitor display may seem slow in low temperatures, or look black

in high temperatures. It will return to normal at room temperature.

 Look straight at the LCD monitor. The display may be difficult to see

depending on the angle.

Lens Mount Maintenance

If dust adheres to the lens mount, wipe it off with a dry and clean cloth. Never use cleaners that contain organic solvents, such as alcohol wet wipes. Doing so may scratch the lens mount or make it difficult to attach or detach the lens.

Handling Precautions

Contacts

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 TV set, 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, etc.  Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.

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.

Smudges Adhering to the Front of the 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 the images, having the sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is recommended.
