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. 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

Y

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.

COP 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.

Avoid storing the camera where there are chemicals that result in rust and corrosion such as in a chemical lab.

Handling Precautions

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 Canon dealer 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.

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 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.

Cards

Y

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.

metallic.

COP

Do not affix any stickers, etc., on the card.

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, put down the lens with the rear end up and attach the lens caps to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.

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.

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

Do not open the card slot cover during this time. Also, never do any of the following while the access lamp is lit or blinking. Otherwise, it can damage the image data, card, or camera.

• Removing the card.

• Removing the battery.

• Shaking or banging the camera around.

If the card already contains recorded images, the image number may not start from 0001.

If a card-related error message is displayed on the LCD monitor, remove and reinsert the card. If the error persists, use a different card.

If you can transfer all the images on the card to a computer, transfer all the images and then format the card with the camera (p.53). The card may then return to normal.

Do not touch the card’s contacts with your fingers or metal objects.

Shooting Tips

COP

Prevent camera shake if the numeric display 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 the wide-angle end to reduce blur caused by camera shake even while handholding the camera.

Take 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

Y

The further the distance between the subject and background, the better.

COP

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 the face.

Check that the AF point covering the face flashes. For close-ups of the face, focus on the eyes.

76

The default setting is (low-speed continuous shooting). If you hold down the shutter button, you can shoot continuously to capture subtle changes in the subject’s pose and facial expression (max. approx. 3.0 shots/ sec.).

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.

Y

Shooting Tips

COP

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.

Shooting night scenes.

The <3> mode is also good for night scenes because it disables the built-in flash. When shooting night scenes, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.

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.

77

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).

78

Y

Shooting Tips

Use a simple background.

COP

A simple background makes small objects such as flowers stand out better.

Move as close as possible to the subject.

Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. Some lenses have indications such as <MACRO 0.39m/1.3ft> on them. The lens minimum focusing distance is measured from the <V> (focal plane) mark on the top of the camera to the subject. If you are too close to the subject, the focus confirmation light <o> will blink.

If you use flash and the bottom of the picture looks unusually dark, move away from the subject.

With a zoom lens, use the telephoto end.

If you have a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the subject look larger.

Aim the center AF point over the subject, then press the shutter button halfway to start autofocusing in Area AF frame. During autofocusing, the beeper will continue beeping softly. If focus cannot be achieved, the focus confirmation light <o> will blink.

The default setting is <o> (high-speed continuous shooting).

When you want to take the picture, press the shutter button completely. If you hold down the shutter button, you will be able to maintain autofocusing during continuous shooting of the subject’s movement (max. approx. 7.0 shots per sec.).

Under low light when camera shake is prone 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.

6 Shooting Night Portraits (With a Tripod)

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.

COP

Check the subject’s brightness.

Y

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 the shooting to check the image brightness. If the subject looks dark, move nearer and shoot again.

Also shoot in another shooting modes.

Since camera shake is prone to occur with night shots, shooting also with <A> and <F> is recommended.

80

Tell the subject to keep still even after the flash fires.

If you use the self-timer together with flash, the self-timer lamp will light up briefly after the picture is taken.

See the cautions on page 83.

F Shooting Night Scenes (Handheld)

Using a tripod for shooting a night scene yields the best results.

However, with the <F> (Handheld Night Scene) mode, you can shoot night scenes while handholding the camera. In this mode, four shots are taken continuously for each picture, and a resulting bright image with reduced camera shake is recorded.

Shooting Tips

Hold the camera firmly.

COP

Y

While shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. In this mode, four shots are aligned and merged into a single image. However, if there is significant misalignment in any of the four shots due to camera shake, they may not align properly in the final image.

For shots of people, turn on the flash.

If you will include people in the picture, press the <Q> button and set <D> (Flash on). To take a nice portrait, the first shot will use flash. Tell the subject not to move until all four continuous shots are taken.

See the cautions on page 83.

81

G Shooting Backlit Scenes

When shooting a scene having both bright and dark areas, use the

<G> (HDR Backlight Control) mode. When you take one picture in this mode, three continuous shots are taken at different exposures. This results in one image, with a wide tonal range, that has minimized the blocked-up shadows caused by backlighting.

Shooting Tips

Hold the camera firmly.

COP

Y

While shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. In this mode, three shots are aligned and merged into a single image. However, if there is significant misalignment in any of the three shots due to camera shake, they may not align properly in the final image.

Flash shooting is not possible. In low light, the AF-assist beam may be emitted (p.90).

See the cautions on pages 83-84.

82

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.

Cautions for <6> Night Portrait and <F> Handheld Night Scene

During Live View shooting, it may be difficult to focus dots of light such as in a night scene. In such a case, set the lens’ focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually.

Cautions for <F> Handheld Night Scene and <G> HDR Backlight Control

Compared with other shooting modes, the shooting area will be smaller.

You cannot select RAW or RAW+JPEG. If RAW is set, the image will be recorded in the 73 quality. Also, if RAW+JPEG is set, the image will be recorded in the set JPEG quality.

If you shoot a moving subject, the subject’s movement may leave afterimages or the surrounding area of the subject may become dark.

The image alignment may not work properly with repetitive patterns

(lattice, stripes, etc.), flat or single-tone images, or images significantly misaligned due to camera shake.

Recording the image to the card will take longer than with normal shooting. During the processing of the images, “buSY” will be displayed picture until the processing is completed.

Y

If the shooting mode is set to <F> or <G>, direct printing is not possible.

COP the subject looks dark. In such a case, set the lens’ focus mode switch to

<MF> and focus manually.

Cautions for <F> Handheld Night Scene

When shooting flash photography, if the subject is too close to the camera, the picture may come out extremely bright (overexposure).

If you use flash to shoot a night scene with few lights, the shots may not align correctly. This can result in a blurry photo.

If you use flash and the human subject is close to the background that is also illuminated by the flash, the shots may not align correctly. This can result in a blurry photo. Unnatural shadows and unsuitable colors may also appear.

External Speedlite flash coverage

• When using a Speedlite with automatic flash coverage setting, the zoom position will be fixed to the wide end, regardless of the lens’ zoom position.

• When using a Speedlite requiring manual flash coverage setting, set the flash head to the wide (normal) position.

Using AF to Focus (AF Method)

Changes in AF Speed Depending On the AF Control Method

If the AF method is set to [u+Tracking], [FlexiZone - Multi], or [FlexiZone

- Single] for Live View shooting or movie shooting, the AF control method

(phase-difference detection with the image sensor or contrast detection) will switch automatically depending on the lens used and functions selected, such as movie digital zoom or magnified view. This can greatly affect the AF speed and the camera may take a longer time to focus (phase-difference detection generally allows faster AF focusing). For details, refer to Canon Web site.

Selecting the AF Method

You can select an AF method to suit the shooting conditions and your subject. The following AF methods are provided: [u(face)+Tracking],

physician immediately. (Battery chemicals may harm the stomach and intestines.)

• When disposing of a battery pack or back-up battery, insulate the electrical contacts with tape to prevent contact with other metallic objects or batteries. This is to prevent fire or an explosion.

COP and prevent a fire.

• If the battery pack or back-up battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or fumes, remove it immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process.

• Prevent any battery leakage from contacting your eyes, skin, and clothing. It can cause blindness or skin problems. If the battery leakage contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing, flush the affected area with lots of clean water without rubbing it. See a physician immediately.

• During the recharging, keep the equipment away from the reach of children. The cord can accidentally choke the child or give an electrical shock.

• 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, blistering or low-temperature contact burns. The use of 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 someone driving a car. It may cause an accident.

• Do not fire the flash near a person’s eyes. It may impair the person’s vision. When using flash to photograph an infant, keep at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away.

159

• Before storing the camera or accessory when not in use, remove the battery pack and disconnect the power plug. This is to prevent electrical shock, heat generation, and fire.

• Do not use the equipment where there is flammable gas. This is to prevent an explosion or fire.

• If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts, do not touch the internal parts due to the possibility of 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 the camera from the reach of small children. The neck strap can accidentally choke the child.

• Do not store the equipment in dusty or humid places. This is to prevent fire and electrical shock.

• Before using the camera inside an airplane or hospital, check if it is allowed.

Electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the plane’s instruments or the hospital’s medical equipment.

- Always insert the power plug all the way in.

- Do not handle a power plug with wet hands.

- When unplugging a power plug, grasp and pull the plug instead of the cord.

- Do not scratch, cut, or excessively bend the cord or put a heavy object on the cord.

Also do not twist or tie the cords.

COP

• Occasionally unplug the power plug and use a dry cloth to clean off the dust around the power outlet. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power outlet may become moist and short-circuit the outlet to cause a fire.

160

Preventing Injury or Equipment Damage

• Do not leave equipment inside a car under the hot sun or near a heat source. The equipment may become hot and cause skin burns.

• Do not carry the camera around while it is attached to a tripod. Doing so may cause injury. Also make sure the tripod is sturdy enough to support the camera and lens.

• Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera under 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 battery-recharging apparatus with a cloth. Doing so may trap heat within and cause the casing to deform or catch fire.

• If you drop the camera in water or if water or metal fragments enter inside the camera, promptly remove the battery pack and back-up battery. This is to prevent fire and electrical shock.

• Do not use or leave the battery pack or back-up battery in a hot environment. Doing so may cause battery leakage or a shorter battery life. The battery pack or back-up battery can also become hot and cause skin burns.

• Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the equipment.
