water without rubbing it. See a physician immediately.
Do not leave any cords near a heat source. It can deform the cord or melt the
insulation and cause a fire or electrical shock.
Do not hold the camera in the same position for long periods of time. Even if
the camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same body part
may cause skin redness or blistering due to low-temperature contact burns.
Using a tripod is recommended for people with circulation problems or very
sensitive skin, or when using the camera in very hot places.
Do not fire the flash at anyone driving a car or other vehicle. It may cause
an accident.
13
Safety Precautions
When the camera or accessories are not in use, make sure to remove the
battery, and disconnect the power plug and connecting cables from the
equipment before storing. This is to prevent electrical shock, excessive heat,
fire, and corrosion.
Do not use the equipment where there is flammable gas. This is to prevent an
explosion or a fire.
If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal
parts, do not touch the exposed internal parts. There is a possibility of an
electrical shock.
Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. High-voltage internal parts can
cause electrical shock.
Do not look at the sun or an extremely bright light source through the camera
or lens. Doing so may damage your vision.
Keep equipment out of the reach of children and infants, including when in
use. Straps or cords may accidentally cause choking, electrical shock, or
injury. Choking or injury may also occur if a child or infant accidentally
swallows a camera part or accessory. If a child or infant swallows a part or
accessory, consult a physician immediately.
Do not use or store the equipment in dusty or humid places. Likewise, keep the
battery away from metallic items and store it with its protective cover
attached to prevent short-circuit. This is to prevent fire, excessive heat,
electrical shock, and burns.
Before using the camera inside an airplane or hospital, check if it is
allowed. Electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the

Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera in the sun without the lens cap
attached. Otherwise, the lens may concentrate the sun’s rays and cause a fire.
Do not cover or wrap the product with a cloth. Doing so may trap heat within
and cause the casing to deform or catch fire.
Be careful not to get the camera wet. If you drop the product in the water or
if water or metal get inside the product, promptly remove the battery. This is
to prevent fire, electrical shock, and burns.
Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the
product. Doing so may cause fire or a health hazard.
14
Safety Precautions
2 Cautions:
Follow the cautions below. Otherwise, physical injury or property damage may result.
Do not use or store the product in a high-temperature location such as inside
a car under the hot sun. The product may become hot and cause burns. Doing so
may also cause battery leakage or explosion, which will degrade the
performance or shorten the life of the product.
Do not carry the camera around when it is attached to a tripod. Doing so may
cause an injury or an accident. Also make sure the tripod is sturdy enough to
support the camera and lens.
Do not leave the product in a low-temperature environment for an extended
period of time. The product will become cold and may cause injury when
touched.
Do not fire the flash near the eyes. It may hurt the eyes.
15
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.
16
Handling Precautions
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.
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.
17
Handling Precautions
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.
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 visible
spots remain on the image, having the sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center
is recommended.

26
Charging the Battery
Tips for Using the Battery and Charger
Upon purchase, the battery is not fully charged. Charge the battery before
use.
Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be used. Even
during storage, a charged battery will gradually drain and lose its capacity.
After recharging the battery, detach it and disconnect the charger from the
power outlet.
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 (provided) attached. Storing the battery when it is fully
charged may 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 reached the end of its service life. Purchase a new battery.
After disconnecting the charger’s power plug, do not touch the prongs for at
least 3 sec.

7 Disabling Flash
The camera analyzes the scene and sets the optimum settings automatically. In
places where flash photography is prohibited such as in a museum or an
aquarium, use the <7> (Flash Off) mode. This mode is also effective for
capturing the particular ambience of a scene, such as candlelight scenes.
Shooting Tips
Prevent camera shake if the numeric display (shutter speed) in the viewfinder
blinks. Under low light when camera shake is prone to occur, the viewfinder’s
shutter speed display will blink. Hold the camera steady or use a tripod. When
using a zoom lens, use a wide angle to reduce blur caused by camera shake even
with handheld shooting.
When shooting portraits without flash. In low-light conditions, tell the
subject to keep still until the picture is taken. Any movement by the subject
during shooting may result in the subject being blurred in the picture.

2 Shooting Portraits
The <2> (Portrait) mode blurs the background to make the human subject stand
out. It also makes skin tones and hair look softer.
Shooting Tips
Select the location where the distance between the subject and the background
is the farthest. The further the distance between the subject and background,
the more blurred the background will look. The subject will also stand out
better against an uncluttered dark background.
Use a telephoto lens. If you have a zoom lens, use the telephoto end to fill
the frame with the subject from the waist up. Move in closer if necessary.
Focus on the face. Check that the AF point covering the face lights up. For
close-ups of the face, focus on the eyes.
If you hold down the shutter button, you can shoot continuously (max. approx.
3.0 shots/sec.) to capture changes in the subject’s facial expression and
pose.
If necessary, the built-in flash will fire automatically.
59
3 Shooting Landscapes
Use the <3> (Landscape) mode for wide scenery or to have everything in focus
from near to far. For vivid blues and greens, and very sharp and crisp images.
Shooting Tips
With a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end. When using the wide-angle end of a
zoom lens, objects near and far will be in focus better than at the telephoto
end. It also adds breadth to landscapes.
When shooting night scenes. Since the built-in flash will be disabled, this
mode <3> is also good for night scenes. Use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
If you want to shoot a person against a night scene, set the Mode Dial to <6>
(Night Portrait) and use a tripod (p.64).
The built-in flash will not fire even in backlit or low-light conditions. If
you are using an external Speedlite, the Speedlite will fire.
60
4 Shooting Close-ups
When you want to shoot flowers or small things up close, use the <4> (Close-
up) mode. To make small things appear much larger, use a macro lens (sold
separately).
Shooting Tips
Use a simple background. A simple background makes small objects such as
flowers stand out better.
Move in as close as possible to the subject. Check the lens for its minimum
focusing distance. Some lenses have indications such as <MACRO 0.25m/0.8ft> on
them. The lens minimum focusing distance is measured from the
With a zoom lens, use the telephoto end. If you have a zoom lens, using the
telephoto end will make the subject look larger.
If necessary, the built-in flash will fire automatically.
61
5 Shooting Moving Subjects
Use the <5> (Sports) mode to shoot a moving subject, such as a running person
or a moving vehicle.
Shooting Tips
Use a telephoto lens. The use of a telephoto lens is recommended for shooting
from a distance.
Use the center AF point to focus. Aim the center AF point over the subject,
then press the shutter button halfway to autofocus. During autofocusing, the
beeper will continue beeping softly. If focus cannot be achieved, the focus
indicator
The built-in flash will not fire even in backlit or low-light conditions.
Under low light when camera shake tends to occur, the viewfinder’s
shutter speed display on the bottom left will blink. Hold the camera steady
and shoot. If you are using an external Speedlite, the Speedlite will fire.
62
P Shooting Food
When shooting food, use
(Food). The photo will look bright and appetizing.
Also, depending on the light source, the reddish tinge will be suppressed in
the pictures taken under tungsten lights, etc.
Shooting Tips
Change the color tone. You can change [Color tone]. To increase the food’s
reddish tinge, set it toward [Warm]. Set it toward [Cool] if it looks too red.
Avoid using flash. If you use flash, the light may reflect off the dish or
food and results in unnatural shadows. By default, (Built-in flash off) is
set. Try to prevent camera shake when shooting in low-light conditions.
Since this mode lets you shoot the food in appetizing color tones, human
subjects may be shot in an unsuitable skin tone.
The warm color cast of subjects may fade. When multiple light sources are
included on the screen, the warm color
cast of the picture may not be lessened. If you use flash, the [Color tone]
setting will switch to the standard
setting.
63
6 Shooting Night Portraits
To shoot people at night and obtain a natural-looking night scene in the
background, use the <6> (Night Portrait) mode. Using a tripod is recommended.
Shooting Tips
Use a wide-angle lens and a tripod. When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle
end to obtain a wide night view. Also, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
Check the subject’s brightness. Under low light, the built-in flash will fire
automatically to obtain a good exposure of the subject. It is recommended to
play back the image after shooting to check the image brightness. If the
subject looks dark, move nearer and shoot again.
Also shoot with the (Scene Intelligent Auto) mode. Since camera shake is
prone to occur with night shots, shooting also in the mode is recommended.
64
6 Shooting Night Portraits
During Live View shooting, it may be difficult to focus on dots of light such
as in a night scene. In such a case, it is recommended that you set the AF
method to [Quick mode] and shoot. If it is still difficult to focus, set the
lens’s focus mode switch to
Tell the subject to keep still even after the flash fires. If you use the

The figures above are based on a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E10 and CIPA
(Camera & Imaging Products Association) testing standards.
With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E10, continuous Live View shooting is
possible for approx. 1 hr. 25 min. at room temperature (23°C / 73°F).
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun or an
intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or the
camera’s internal components.
General Live View Shooting Cautions are on pages 81-82.
When flash is used, there will be two shutter sounds, but only one shot will
be taken. Also, the time it takes to capture an image after you press the
shutter button completely will be slightly longer than with viewfinder
shooting.
If the camera is not operated for a prolonged period, the power will turn off
automatically after the time set in [51: Auto power off]. If [51: Auto power
off] is set to [Disable], Live View shooting will end automatically after
approx. 30 min. (camera power remains on).
With an HDMI cable (sold separately), you can display the Live View image on a
TV set. Note that no sound will be output.

will focus again. You cannot focus on a moving subject continuously. The image
brightness may change during and after the AF
operation. If the light source changes while the Live View image is displayed,
the screen may flicker and focusing may be difficult. If this happens, exit
Live View shooting and execute AF under the actual light source.
Magnified View
When [FlexiZone – Single] is set and you press the button, the area
covered by the AF point will be magnified. Press the shutter button halfway to
focus in the magnified view. This is effective when the camera is attached to
a tripod and you need to attain very precise focus. If focusing is difficult
in magnified view, return to the normal display and use AF. Note that the AF
speed may differ between the normal and magnified views.
If you magnify the view after focusing with [FlexiZone – Single] in the normal
view, precise focus may not be achieved.
If [u Live mode] is set, magnified view is not possible.
Shooting Conditions that Make Focusing Difficult Low-contrast subjects such as
the blue sky, solid-color flat surfaces
or when highlight or shadow details are lost. Subjects in low light. Stripes
and other patterns where there is contrast only in the
horizontal direction. Subjects with repetitive patterns (Example: Skyscraper
windows,
computer keyboards, etc.). Fine lines and subject outlines. Under a light
source whose brightness, color, or pattern keeps
changing. Night scenes or points of light. The image flickers under
fluorescent or LED lighting. Extremely small subjects. Subjects at the edge of
the picture. Strongly backlit or reflective subjects (Example: Car with a
highly
reflective body, etc.). The AF point covers both near and distant subjects
(Example:
Animal in a cage, etc.). Subjects that keep moving within the AF point and
cannot keep still
due to camera shake or subject blur. A subject approaching or moving away from
the camera. Autofocusing while the subject is very far out of focus. Soft
focus effect is applied with a soft focus lens. A special effect filter is
used. Noise (dots of light, banding, etc.) appears on the screen during AF.
If focus is not achieved with the shooting conditions on the preceding page,
set the lens’s focus mode switch to
If you use AF with any of the following lenses, using [Quick mode] is
recommended. Autofocusing with [FlexiZone – Single] or [u Live mode] may take
longer or correct focus may not be achieved. EF50mm f/1.4 USM, EF50mm f/1.8
II, EF50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro, EF100mm f/2.8 Macro USM, EF75-300mm f/4-5.6
III, EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM For information on other lenses, refer to the
Canon Web site.
If you shoot a peripheral subject and it is slightly out of focus, aim the
center AF point over the subject to focus, focus again and then take the
picture.
The AF-assist beam will not be emitted. However, if an EX-series Speedlite
(sold separately) equipped with an LED light is used, the LED light will turn
on for AF-assist when necessary.
In magnified view, focusing may be difficult due to camera shake. Using a
tripod is recommended.
The dedicated AF sensor is used to focus in One-Shot AF, using the same AF
method as with viewfinder shooting. Although you can focus on the target
subject quickly, the Live View image will be interrupted momentarily during
the AF operation. You can use nine AF points to focus (automatic selection).
You can also select one AF point to focus and focus only on the area covered
by that AF point (manual selection). button (7) to
display the Quick Control screen. The settable functions will be
displayed on the left of the screen. Press the
AF point selectable. Turn the <6> dial to select the AF
point.
3 Focus on the subject. Aim the AF point over the subject and press the
shutter button halfway. The Live View image will turn off, the reflex mirror
will go back down, and AF will be executed. (No picture is taken.) When focus
is achieved, the AF point that achieved focus will turn green and the Live
View image will reappear. If focus is not achieved, the AF point will turn
orange and blink.
4 Take the picture. Check the focus and exposure, then press the shutter
button completely to take the picture (p.70).
You cannot take a picture during autofocusing. Take the picture while the Live
View image is displayed.
80
Image Quality When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (such as dots of light
and
banding) may become noticeable. Shooting in high temperatures may cause noise
and irregular colors in
the image. If Live View shooting is used continuously for a prolonged period,
the
camera’s internal temperature may rise, and image quality may deteriorate.
Always exit Live View shooting when you are not shooting. If you shoot a long
exposure while the camera’s internal temperature is high, image quality may
deteriorate. Exit Live View shooting and wait a few minutes before shooting
again.
White and Red
View shooting or under a high ambient temperature, a white or red icon indicates that the image quality of still
photos will deteriorate. It is recommended that you temporarily exit Live View
shooting and allow the camera to cool down before shooting again. The red or icon is
displayed.
Shooting Results If you take the picture in magnified view, the exposure may
not come out
as desired. Return to the normal view before taking the picture. In magnified
view, the shutter speed and aperture will be displayed in orange. Even if you
take the picture in magnified view, the image area for the normal veiw will be
captured. If you use a TS-E lens (except the TS-E17mm f/4L or TS-E24mm f/3.5L
II) and shift or tilt the lens or use an Extension Tube, the standard exposure
may not be obtained or an irregular exposure may result.
Live View Image Under low- or bright-light conditions, the Live View image may
not reflect
the brightness of the captured image. Even if a low ISO speed is set, noise
may be noticeable in the displayed
Live View image under low light. However, when you shoot, the image recorded
will have less noise. (The image quality of the Live View image is different
from that of the recorded image.) If the light source (illumination) within
the image changes, the screen may flicker. If this happens, exit Live View
shooting and resume Live View shooting under the actual light source. If you
point the camera in a different direction, it may throw off the Live View
image’s correct brightness momentarily. Wait until the brightness level
stabilizes before shooting. If there is a very bright light source in the
image, the bright area may appear black on the LCD monitor. However, the
actual captured image will correctly show the bright area. In low light, if
you set the [52: LCD brightness] to a bright setting, noise or irregular
colors may appear in the Live View image. However, the noise or irregular
colors will not be recorded in the captured image. When you magnify the image,
the image sharpness may look more pronounced than in the actual image.
Custom Functions During Live View shooting, some Custom Function settings will
not take
effect.
Lens and Flash During Live View shooting, focus preset for super telephoto
lenses
cannot be used. FE lock will not work when the built-in flash or an external
Speedlite is
used. Modeling flash will not work if an external Speedlite is used.
Do not hold the camera in the same position for long periods of time. Even if
the camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same body part
may cause skin redness or blistering due to low-temperature contact burns.

Notes for Movie Shooting
Do not hold the camera in the same position for long periods of time. Even if
the camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same body part
may cause skin redness or blistering due to low-temperature contact burns.
Using a tripod is recommended for people with circulation problems or very
sensitive skin, or when using the camera in very hot places.
When [k1: AF w/ shutter button during k] is set to [Enable], pressing the
shutter button halfway during movie shooting will perform autofocusing.
However, the following may occur. · Focus may become far off momentarily. ·
The brightness of the recorded movie may change. · The recorded movie may be
momentarily still. · The movie may record the lens operation sound.
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun or an
intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or the
camera’s internal components.
If or
If you shoot a movie under fluorescent or LED lighting, the movie may flicker.
Shooting a few test movies is recommended where you will perform zooming
during movie shooting. Zooming during movie shooting may result in recording
of changes in exposure or mechanical sound of the lens, or images may be out
of focus.
During movie shooting, you cannot magnify the image even if you press the
button.
If you connect or disconnect the HDMI cable during movie shooting, the movie
shooting will end.
Be careful not to cover the built-in microphone (p.84) with your finger, etc.
General Movie Shooting Cautions are on pages 91-92. If necessary, also read
General Live View Shooting Cautions on
pages 81-82.
Movie-related settings are under the [k1], [k2], and [k3] tabs. A movie file
