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.

Do not block the mirror operation with your finger, etc. Doing so may cause a

malfunction.

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

*A5'%HO2CIG9GFPGUFC[5GRVGODGT2/

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 may 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

may 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, or vibration.

Do not touch the card’s electronic contacts with your fingers or anything

metallic.

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 and put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid

scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.

Cautions During Prolonged Use

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

prolonged 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 before you start

shooting 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.185).

charger and insert the plug into the

power outlet.

X Recharging starts automatically and

the charge lamp blinks in orange.

It takes approx. 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 the battery’s charge level.

For safety reasons, recharging in low temperatures (5°C - 10°C /

41°F - 50°F) will take longer (up to 4 hours).

small sound may be heard.) During

the sensor cleaning, the LCD monitor

will display <f>.

You can still shoot during sensor

cleaning by pressing the shutter

button halfway (p.44) to stop the

sensor cleaning and take a picture.

If you repeatedly turn the power switch <1>/<2> at a short

interval, the <f> icon may not be displayed. This is normal and

not a problem.

To save battery power, the camera turns off automatically after 1

minute of non-operation. To turn on the camera again, just press the
