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.
• To maximize the camera's dust- and drip- resistance, keep the terminal cover, battery compartment cover, card slot cover, and all other covers firmly closed.
• This camera is designed to be dust- and drip- resistant, in order to help prevent sand, dust, dirt, or water that falls on it unexpectedly from getting inside, but it is impossible to prevent dirt, dust, water, or salt from getting inside at all. As far as possible, do not allow dirt, dust, water, or salt to get on the camera.
• If water gets on the camera, wipe it off with a dry and clean cloth. If dirt, dust, or salt gets on the camera, wipe it off with a clean, well-wrung wet cloth.
• Using the camera in a location with large amounts of dirt or dust may cause a malfunction.
• Cleaning the camera after use is recommended. Allowing dirt, dust, water, or salt to remain on the camera may cause a malfunction.
• If you accidentally drop the camera into water or are concerned that moisture (water), dirt, dust, or salt may have gotten inside it, promptly consult the nearest Canon Service Center.
• 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 Panel and 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. This is 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 may 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.

Charge Level	Charge Lamp
	Color Display
0-49%	perSecond	Blinks once per second
50-74% Blinks twice
75% or higher Blinks	three times per second
Fully charged Green Turned on

• It takes approx. 2 hr. and 30 min. 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^ - 10^ / 41^ - 50^) will take longer (up to approx. 4hr ).

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 is recharged or not.

If the battery is recharged, attach the cover so that the battery-shaped hole < s aligned over the blue sticker on the battery. If the battery is exhausted, attach the cover in the opposite orientation.

• 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 continue to be released, resulting in excess discharge and shorter battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover 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. 10 sec.
• If the battery's remaining capacity is 94% or higher, the battery will not be recharged.
• The provided charger cannot charge any battery other than Battery Pack LP-E6N/LP-E6.

Installing and Removing the Battery

Load a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E6N (or LP-E6) into the camera. The camera's viewfinder becomes bright when a battery is installed, and darkens when the battery is removed. If the battery is not installed, the image in the viewfinder becomes blurred and you cannot perform focusing.

Installing the Battery

1

Open the cover.

• Slide the lever as shown by the arrows and open the cover.

2

Basic Shooting

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

With Basic Zone modes, all you do is point and shoot, and the camera sets everything automatically (p.103). Also, because advanced shooting function settings cannot be changed, you can enjoy shooting photographs without worrying about botched pictures due to misoperation.

Before Shooting in the Mode

When you use the <SCN> mode for shooting with the LCD monitor turned off, press the < button or <INFO> button to check which shooting mode is set, then start shooting.

A+ Fully Automatic Shooting (Scene Intelligent Auto)

< ^+> is a fully automatic mode. The camera analyzes the scene and sets the optimum settings automatically. It can also adjust focus automatically on either the still or moving subject by detecting the motion of the subject (p.79).

1 Set the Mode Dial to < ^+>

• Turn the Mode Dial while holding down the lock release button at the center.
  When the shooting mode description appears on the LCD monitor, press <> to hide it (p.71).

2 Aim the Area AF frame over the subject.

• All the AF points will be used to focus, and the camera will basically focus on the closest object.
  Aiming the center of the Area AF frame over the subject will make focusing easier.

3

Focus on the subject.

• Press the shutter button halfway. The lens elements will shift to focus.
  When achieving focus, the AF point that has achieved focus will be displayed. At the same time, the beeper will sound and the focus indicator < > in the viewfinder will light up.
  In low light, the AF point(s) will light up briefly in red.

Take the picture.

• Press the shutter button completely to take the picture.
  The captured image will be displayed for approx. 2 sec. on the LCD monitor.

The <^+> mode makes the colors look more impressive in nature, outdoor, and sunset scenes. If you do not obtain the desired color tones, change the mode to a Creative Zone mode (p.29) and select a Picture Style other than <_- _- A> , then shoot again (p.126).

FAQ

• The focus indicator < > blinks and focus is not achieved.

Aim the Area AF frame over an area with good contrast, then press the shutter button halfway (p.49). If you are too close to the subject, move away and shoot again.

• Even when focus is achieved, the AF points do not light up in red.

The AF points light up in red only when focus is achieved in low light or with a dark subject.

• Multiple AF points light up simultaneously.

Focus has been achieved at all those points. 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.79) will not work in this case.

• Pressing the shutter button halfway does not focus the subject.

If the focus mode switch on the lens is set to <MF> (manual focus), set it to <AF> (autofocus).

The shutter speed display is blinking.

Since it is too dark, taking the picture may result in a blurred subject due to camera shake. Using a tripod or a Canon EX-series Speedlite (sold separately, p.155) is recommended.

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

If a hood is attached to the lens, it may obstruct the flash light. If the subject is close, detach the hood before taking the picture with flash.

Minimizing Blurred Photos

• Silent single shooting (p.117), Single shooting in Live View shooting, etc. are effective. Mirror lockup is also effective when the shooting mode is set to one of the Creative Zone modes.
• For continuous shooting, using Silent continuous shooting (p.117) or Live View continuous shooting is effective.
• Use a sturdy tripod that can bear the weight of the shooting equipment. Mount the camera securely on the tripod.
• Using a remote switch or a remote controller is recommended.

^+ Full Auto Techniques (Scene Intelligent Auto)

Recomposing the Shot

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 <A^+> 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 in these <SCN> modes: <变><变><变> ).

Shooting a Moving Subject

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 Area AF frame 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.

CA Creative Auto Shooting

< > is a fully-automatic shooting mode that is a step more advanced from < ^+ > . You can first adjust the photo's ambience, background blur, etc. before shooting.

By pressing the <> button, you can set 1. Ambience-based shots, 2. Background blur setting, 3. Drive mode, and 4. AF point selection with Quick Control.

The < > (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.

SCN: Shooting Group Photos

Use the (Group Photo) mode to shoot group photos. You can take a picture in which both the people in the front and people in the back are all in focus.

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.

SCN: Shooting Landscapes

Use the <> (Landscape) mode for expansive 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 a zoom lens, set the lens to the wide-angle end to make the objects near and far in focus. It also adds breadth to landscapes.

• Shooting night scenes.

Shooting with < > while手持holding the camera may cause camera shake. Using a tripod is recommended.

SCN: 冷 Shooting Moving Subjects

Use the <> (Sports) mode to shoot a moving subject, such as a running person or a moving vehicle.

The default setting is < H> (High-speed continuous shooting). At the decisive moment, press the shutter button completely to take the picture. If you keep holding down the shutter button, you can shoot continuously while maintaining autofocus using camera changes in the subject's facial expression and movement. (Viewfinder shooting: max. approx. 6.5 shots/sec., Live View shooting: max. approx. 4.0 shots/sec.)

SCN: Panning

If you want to take a picture with the feel of speed and a blurred motion effect on the subject's background, use <> (Panning). With Live View shooting, if you use a lens supporting the <> mode, subject blur is detected, corrected, and reduced.

Shooting Tips

- Turn the camera to follow the moving subject.

When shooting, turn the camera smoothly as you track the moving subject. Aim the AF point over the part of the moving subject where you want to focus, then press the shutter button halfway and keep holding it down as you turn the camera to match the subject's speed and movement. Press the shutter button completely while moving the camera to take the picture. Keep tracking the subject with the camera.

- Set the level of background motion blur.

With [Effect], you can set the level of background motion blur. The [Max] setting will set a slower shutter speed to increase the background motion blur around the subject. If the subject blur is noticeable, set [Effect] to [Med] or [Min] to reduce the blur.

• To see which lenses support the <> mode, refer to the Canon Web site.
• When using a lens supporting the < > mode during Live View shooting, subject blur can be corrected and the shutter speed will be set automatically according to the setting of [Effect], regardless of the lens's Image Stabilizer setting.
• To prevent camera shake, it is recommended that you hold the camera with both hands, tighten your arms close to your body, and track the subject's movement smoothly to take pictures.
• This effect is most effective with trains, cars, etc. that move at a constant speed in one direction.
• Taking test shots or checking the image by playing it back immediately after shooting is recommended.

SCN: Shooting Close-ups

When you want to shoot flowers or small things up close, use the < (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. 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.

• With a zoom lens, use the telephoto end.

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

SCN: Shooting Food

When you want to take pictures of 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.

SCN: Shooting Candlelight Portraits

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

Shooting Tips

• Use the center AF point to focus.
  Aim the center AF point in the viewfinder on the subject, then shoot.
• Prevent camera shake if the numeric display (shutter speed) in the viewfinder blinks.

Under low light, the viewfinder's shutter speed display will blink. Hold the camera steady or use a tripod. When using a zoom lens, you can reduce the blur caused by camera shake by setting the lens to the wide-angle end.

• Change the color tone.

You can change [Color tone]. To increase the candlelight's reddish tinge, set it toward [Warm]. Set it toward [Cool] if it looks too red.

SCN: Shooting Night Portraits (With a Tripod)

When you want to photograph people at night and obtain a natural-looking night scene in the background, use the <> (Night Portrait) mode. Note that an external Speedlite is required for shooting. 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, since camera shake is prone to occur with handheld shooting, use a tripod.

• Check the subject's brightness.

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 <A^+> and <E^+ is recommended.

SCN: Shooting Night Scenes (Handheld)

Using a tripod when shooting a night scene gives the best results. However, the <面> (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.

Shooting Tips

Hold the camera firmly.

During 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 portraits, use an external Speedlite.

If you are to include people in the picture, use an external Speedlite. To take a nice portrait, the first shot will use flash. Tell the subject not to move until all four consecutive shots are taken.

SCN: Shooting Backlit Scenes

When shooting a scene having both the bright and dark areas, use the < (HDR Backlight Control) mode. When you take one picture in this mode, three consecutive shots are taken at different exposures. This results in one image, with a wide tonal range, that has minimized the clipped shadows caused by backlighting.

• HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.

Shooting Tips

Hold the camera firmly.

During 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.

AF Area Selection Mode

Single-point Spot AF (Manual selection)

For pinpoint focusing over a narrower area than with Single-point AF. Select one AF point < > to focus.

Effective for pinpoint focusing or focusing on overlapping subjects such as an animal in a cage. Since Single-point Spot AF covers a very small area, focusing may be difficult during handheld or low-light shooting or for a moving subject.

Single-point AF (Manual selection)

Select one AF point < > to be used for focusing.

Zone AF (Manual selection of zone)

The AF area is divided into nine focusing zones for focusing. Since all the AF points in the selected zone are used for Automatic selection AF, it is superior to Single-point AF in tracking the subject, and it is also effective for moving subjects.

However, since it is inclined to focus on the nearest subject, focusing on a specific target may be more difficult.

The AF point(s) achieving focus is displayed as < > .

Large Zone AF (Manual selection of zone)

The AF area is divided into three focusing zones (left, center, and right) for focusing. Since the focusing area is larger than with Zone AF and all the AF points in the selected zone are used for Automatic selection AF, it is superior to Single-point AF in tracking the subject, and it is effective for moving subjects.

However, since it is inclined to focus on the nearest subject, focusing on a specific target may be more difficult.

MENu Correction of Lens Aberrations due to Optical Characteristics\*

Peripheral light fall-off is a phenomenon that makes the image corners look darker due to the optical characteristics of the lens. Color fringing along subject outlines is called chromatic aberration. Image distortion due to optical characteristics of the lens is called distortion. And decreased image sharpness due to the aperture is called diffraction phenomenon. These lens aberrations can be corrected.

By default, [Peripheral illum corr], [Chromatic aberr corr], and [Diffraction correction] are set to [Enable], and [Distortion correction] is set to [Disable].

If the lens correction data is registered (saved) in the camera, peripheral illumination correction, chromatic aberration correction, and diffraction correction will be applied in Basic Zone modes. (In the mode, distortion correction is also applied.)

If the setting screen displays [Correction data not available] or the [Icon, it means that the correction data for the respective lens is not registered in the camera. See "Lens Correction Data" on page 139.

Lens Correction Data

The lens correction data for lens aberration corrections is registered (stored) in the camera. With [Enable] selected, the peripheral illumination correction, chromatic aberration correction, distortion correction, and diffraction correction will be applied automatically.

With EOS Utility (EOS software, p.192), you can check which lenses have their correction data registered in the camera. You can also register the correction data for unregistered lenses. For details, refer to the EOS Utility Instruction Manual.

For lenses incorporating the correction data, it is not necessary to register the correction data to the camera.

MENU Reducing Flicker

If you shoot an image with a fast shutter speed under a light source such as fluorescent light, the blinking of the light source causes flicker and the image may be vertically unevenly exposed. If continuous shooting is used under these conditions, uneven exposures or colors across the images may result. When you use this feature during viewfinder shooting, the camera detects the flickering frequency of the light source and takes the picture when the flicker causes less effect on exposure or color tone.

1 Select [Anti-flicker shoot].

• Under the [4] tab, select [Antiflicker shoot]. then press < SET>.

2 Select [Enable]. 3 Take the picture

The picture will be taken with reduced unevenness of exposure or color tone caused by the flicker.

GPS Settings

This chapter describes the camera's built-in GPS settings. The EOS 6D Mark II can receive satellite navigation signals from GPS satellites (USA), GLONASS satellites (Russia), and Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) "Michibiki" (Japan).

The GPS function is set to [Disable] by default.
- This manual uses the term "GPS" to refer to the satellite navigation function.

When [GPS] is set to [Mode 1] (p.143), the camera will continue to receive GPS signals at regular intervals even after the camera's power switch is set to . The battery will thereby drain faster and the number of possible shots will decrease. When you do not use GPS, setting [GPS] to [Disable] or [Mode 2] is recommended.

When using GPS function, be sure to check the countries and regions where its use is allowed, and use the function in accordance with the laws and regulations of the country or region. Be particularly careful when using GPS outside your home country.

Countries and Regions Permitting GPS Function Use

Use of GPS function is restricted in some countries and regions, and illegal use may be punishable under national or local regulations. To avoid violating GPS function regulations, visit the Canon Web site to check where the use is allowed.

Note that Canon cannot be held liable for any problems arising from GPS function use in other countries and regions.

The frame rate displayed on the [01: Movie rec.size] screen switches automatically depending on the [3: Video system] setting.

The card's writing and reading speeds required for recording movies vary depending on the movie recording quality. Before shooting movies, see page 179 to check the performance requirements of the card.

Movie Recording Size

Image size

FHD 1920x1080

The movie will be recorded in Full High-Definition (Full HD) quality. The aspect ratio is 16:9.

HD 1280x720

The movie will be recorded in High-Definition (HD) quality. The aspect ratio is 16:9.

• Frame rate (fps: frame per second)

59.94p 59.94fps/29.97P 29.97fps

For areas where the TV system is NTSC (North America, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, etc.).

50.00P 50.00 fps/25.00P 25.00 fps

For areas where the TV system is PAL (Europe, Russia, China, Australia, etc.).

23.98p 23.98 fps

Selectable when [3: Video system] is set to [For NTSC]. Mainly for motion pictures.

• Compression method

IPB IPB (Standard)

Compresses multiple frames at a time efficiently for recording.

IPB IPB (Light)

Since the movie is recorded at a bit rate lower than with IPB (Standard), the file size will be smaller than with IPB (Standard) and the playback compatibility will be higher. This will make the possible shooting time longer than with IPB (Standard) (with a card having the same capacity).

• Movie recording format

MP4 MP4

The movie will be recorded in the MP4 format (file extension ".MP4"). This file format provides higher compatibility for playback than with MOV.

Cards that Can Record Movies

When shooting movies, use a large-capacity card with a writing/reading speed (required card performance) shown in the table below or higher than the standard specification. Test the card by taking a few movies in the desired quality (p.177) and make sure the card can properly record the movie.

Wireless Communication Function Precautions

Countries and Regions Permitting Wireless Communication Function Use

Use of wireless communication functions is restricted in some countries and regions, and illegal use may be punishable under national or local regulations. To avoid violating wireless communication function regulations, visit the Canon Web site to check where use is allowed.

Note that Canon cannot be held liable for any problems arising from wireless communication function use in other countries and regions.

Model Number

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada's licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This device must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or device except Canon accessories supplied or designated for this product.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. This model has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.

Hereby, Canon Inc., declares that this DS126631 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 2014/53/EU.

The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following
