Safety Precautions

The following precautions are provided to prevent harm or injury to yourself and others. Make sure to thoroughly understand and follow these precautions before using the product.

If you experience any malfunctions, problems, or damage to the product, contact the nearest Canon Service Center or the dealer from whom you purchased the product.

Warnings Follow the warnings below. Otherwise, death or serious injuries may result.

- To prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, explosions, and electrical shock, follow the safeguards below:

- Do not use any batteries, power sources, or accessories not specified in the Instruction Manual. Do not use any home-made or modified batteries, or the product if it is damaged.

- Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery. Do not apply heat or solder to the battery. Do not expose the battery to fire or water. Do not subject the battery to strong physical shock.

- Do not insert the battery's plus and minus ends incorrectly.

- Do not recharge the battery in temperatures outside the allowable charging (working) temperature range. Also, do not exceed the recharge time indicated in the Instruction Manual.

- Do not insert any foreign metallic objects into the electrical contacts of the camera, accessories, connecting cables, etc.

- When disposing of a battery, insulate the electrical contacts with tape. Contact with other metallic objects or batteries may cause a fire or an explosion.

- If excessive heat, smoke, or fumes are emitted when recharging the battery, immediately unplug the battery charger from the power outlet to stop recharging. Otherwise, it may cause a fire, heat damage, or electrical shock.

- If the battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or fumes, remove it immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process. It may cause a fire, electrical shock or burns if you keep using it.

- Prevent any battery leakage from contacting your eyes, skin, and clothing. It can cause blindness or skin problems. If the battery leakage comes in contact with your eyes, skin, or clothing, flush the affected area with lots of clean 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 when using the camera in very hot places or for people with circulation problems or poor skin sensation.

- Do not fire the flash at anyone driving a car or other vehicle. It may cause an accident.

• 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 plane's instruments or the hospital's medical equipment.
  ● ● To prevent a fire and electrical shock, follow the safeguards below:

• 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.
• Do not connect too many power plugs to the same power outlet.

• Do not use a cord whose wire is broken or insulation is damaged.

• Unplug the power plug periodically and clean off the dust around the power outlet with a dry cloth. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power outlet may become moist and short-circuit the outlet, causing a fire.

• Do not connect the battery directly to an electrical outlet or a car's cigarette lighter outlet. The battery may leak, generate excessive heat or explode, causing fire, burns, or injuries.
• A thorough explanation of how to use the product by an adult is required when the product is used by children. Supervise children while they are using the product. Incorrect usage may result in electrical shock or injury.
• 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 when using it. 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.

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.

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 clean, well-wrun 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 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 can cause camera malfunction.

• 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.
• 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 repeat continuous shooting or perform 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, 0.01% or fewer of the pixels may be dead, and there may also be spots of black, red, or other colors. 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 slightly slow in low temperatures, or 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 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.
• Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.

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.

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.

LC-E17E

Diagram showing a device connected to an electrical outlet with labeled parts 1 and 2, indicating wiring or connection.

• It takes approx. 2 hours to fully recharge a completely exhausted battery at room temperature (23°C / 73°F). The time required to recharge the battery will vary greatly depending on the ambient temperature and the battery's remaining capacity.
• For safety reasons, recharging in low temperatures (5°C - 10°C / 41°F - 50°F) will take longer (up to approx. 4 hr.).

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 will keep being 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 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 may damage the battery charger.

- If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after having been fully charged, the battery has reached the end of its service life.

Check the battery's recharge performance and purchase a new battery.

• After disconnecting the charger's power plug, do not touch the prongs for approx. 5 sec.
• Do not charge any battery other than a Battery Pack LP-E17.
  ● Battery Pack LP-E17 is dedicated to Canon products only. Using it with an incompatible battery charger or product may result in malfunction or accidents for which Canon cannot be held liable.

Installing and Removing the Battery and Card

Load a fully charged Battery Pack LP-E17 into the camera. The camera can use an SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory card (sold separately). UHS-I Speed Class SDHC and SDXC memory cards can also be used. The captured images are recorded onto the card.

Make sure the card's write-protect switch is set upward to enable writing/erasing.

• If the LCD monitor has any moisture or if your fingers are wet, the touch screen may not respond or malfunction may occur. In such a case, turn off the power and wipe off the moisture with a cloth.
• Attaching any commercially-available protective sheet or sticker on the LCD monitor may degrade the touch operation response.
• If you quickly perform touch operation when [Sensitive] is set, the touch operation response may be poor.

Basic Shooting and Image Playback

This chapter describes how to use the Basic Zone modes on the Mode Dial for best results and how to play back images.

With Basic Zone modes, all you do is point and shoot, and the camera sets everything automatically (p.86). Also, because advanced shooting function settings cannot be changed, you can enjoy shooting photographs without worrying about botched pictures due to misoperation.

FAQ

- The focus indicator <●> blinks and focus is not achieved.

• Aim the AF point over an area with good contrast, then press the shutter button halfway (p.44).
• If you are too close to the subject, move away and shoot again.
• Select the AF point nearest to where you want to focus (p.94). The default setting is Automatic selection AF.

● Multiple AF points light up simultaneously.

Focus has been achieved at all those points that flash in red. You can take the picture as long as an AF point covering the target subject is lighting up.

- The beeper continues to beep softly. (The focus indicator <●> does not light up.)

It indicates that the camera is focusing continuously on a moving subject. (The focus indicator <●> does not light up.) You can take sharp pictures of a moving subject.

Note that focus lock (p.67) will not work in this case.

- Pressing the shutter button halfway does not focus on the subject.

If the focus mode switch of the lens is set to (manual focus), set it to (autofocus).

● The flash fired even if it was daylight.

For a backlit subject, the flash may fire to help lighten the subject's dark areas. If you do not want the flash to fire, use the Quick Control to set [Built-in flash firing] to [⚡] (p.85) or set the <⚡> (Flash Off) mode and shoot (p.68).

● The built-in flash fired and the picture came out extremely bright.

Move further away from the subject and shoot. When shooting with flash, if the subject is too close to the camera, the picture may come out extremely bright (overexposure).

- In low light, the built-in flash fired a series of flashes.

Pressing the shutter button halfway may trigger the built-in flash to fire a series of flashes to assist autofocusing. This is called the AF-assist beam. Its effective range is approx. 4 meters / 13.1 feet. Note that the built-in flash will make a sound when firing continuously. This is normal and not a malfunction.

- When flash was used, the bottom part of the picture came out unnaturally dark.

The shadow of the lens barrel was captured in the picture because the subject was too close to the camera. Move further away from the subject and shoot. If a hood is attached to the lens, remove it before taking the flash picture.

A ^+ Full Auto Techniques (Scene Intelligent Auto)

Recomposing the Shot

Black-and-white photo of a smiling woman standing in front of a floral field (no text or symbols visible)

Depending on the scene, positioning the subject toward the left or right to include a balanced background will result in a picture with better perspective. In the <^+> mode, pressing the shutter button halfway to focus on a still subject will lock the focus on that subject. Recompose the shot while keeping the shutter button pressed halfway, and then press the shutter button completely to take the picture. This is called “focus lock”. Focus lock is also possible in other Basic Zone modes (except <SCN: ).

Shooting a Moving Subject

Black-and-white photo of windsurfing athletes on a coastal shoreline, no visible text or symbols

In the <^+> mode, if the subject moves (distance to camera changes) during or after focusing, AI Servo AF will take effect to focus on the subject continuously. (The beeper will continue beeping softly.) As long as you keep the AF point positioned over the subject while pressing the shutter button halfway, focusing will be continuous. At the decisive moment, press the shutter button completely to take the picture.

Shooting When You Cannot Use 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 <图标> (Flash Off) mode.

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 the wide-angle end to reduce blur caused by camera shake even with handheld shooting.

● 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.

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 as 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.

Shooting Tips

- Use a wide-angle lens.

When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to make it easy to get all the people in the group in focus at once, from the front row to the back. Also, if you place a little distance between the camera and the subjects (so that the subjects' entire bodies are in the shot), the focus range increases in depth.

● Take multiple shots of the group.

It is recommended to shoot multiple photos in case some people close their eyes.

Shooting Landscapes

Use the <▶> (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.

Close-up Choose Skew Brightness Single-point well-time Built-in Bash [514]

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 <0.25m/0.8ft> on them. The lens minimum focusing distance is measured from the <> (focal plane) mark on the top of the camera to the subject. If you are too close to the subject and focus cannot be achieved, the focus indicator <> will blink.

If the built-in flash is fired and the bottom part of the picture comes out unnaturally dark, move away a little from the subject and try again.

● With a zoom lens, use the telephoto end.

When using a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the subject look larger.

Shooting Food

When shooting food, use < 41> (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.

Food For culinary photography: Makes food look fresh and vibrant. OK Food Color tone Choose scene Brightness Single-cont/ self-timer Built-in flash [ 514 ]

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. Therefore, < ④> (Built-in flash off) is set by default. Try to prevent camera shake when shooting in low-light locations.

Shooting Candlelight Portraits

When you want to photograph a human subject lit in candlelight, use <图标> (Candlelight). The atmosphere of candlelight is reflected in the color tones of the picture.

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, since camera shake is prone to occur with handheld shooting, use a tripod.

- Check the subject's brightness.

Under low light, the built-in flash will fire automatically to obtain a good exposure of the subject.

Note that it is recommended to play back the captured image on location to check the image brightness. If the subject looks dark, move nearer and shoot again.

- Also shoot in other shooting modes.

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

Shooting Night Scenes (Handheld)

Using a tripod when shooting a night scene gives the best results. However, the <▶> (Handheld Night Scene) mode enables you to shoot night scenes even while handholding the camera. In this shooting mode, four shots are taken consecutively for each picture, and the resulting one image with reduced camera shake is recorded.

This AF operation is suited for moving subjects when the focusing distance keeps changing. While you hold down the shutter button halfway, the camera will keep focusing on the subject continuously. ● The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken. - When the AF point selection (p.94) is automatic, the camera first uses the center AF point to focus. During autofocusing, if the subject moves away from the center AF point, focus tracking continues as long as the subject is covered by another AF point.

AI Focus AF for Switching the AF Operation Automatically

AI Focus AF switches the AF operation from One-Shot AF to AI Servo AF automatically if a still subject starts moving. ● After the subject is in focus in One-Shot AF, if the subject starts moving, the camera will detect the movement, change the AF operation automatically to AI Servo AF, and start tracking the moving subject. 

Selecting the AF Point

When or <○: 🌐> mode is set, since the camera automatically focuses on the closest subject in normal cases, it may not always focus on your desired subject. In any other mode, you can select one AF point to focus solely on the subject that AF point is aimed over.
