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-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.
  • 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.

  • 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.

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.

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.

- 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.

CANON EOS 1500D - Tips for Using the Battery and Charger - 1

  • After disconnecting the charger's power plug, do not touch the prongs for at least 3 sec.
  • Do not charge any battery other than a Battery Pack LP-E10.
  • Battery Pack LP-E10 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-E10 into the camera. You can use an SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory card (sold separately) with the camera. The captured images are recorded onto the card.

Basic Shooting and Image Playback

This chapter explains 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 while the camera sets everything automatically (p.67). Also, to prevent botched pictures due to mistaken operations, advanced shooting function settings cannot be changed.

Auto Lighting Optimizer

In Basic Zone modes, the Auto Lighting Optimizer will adjust the image automatically to obtain the optimum brightness and contrast. It is also enabled by default in Creative Zone modes.

A ^+ Fully Automatic Shooting (Scene Intelligent Auto)

<[A⁺] is a fully automatic mode. The camera analyzes the scene and sets the optimum settings automatically. It also adjusts focus automatically by detecting whether the subject is still or moving (p.53).

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.39). If you are too close to the subject, move away and try again.

● Multiple AF points flash simultaneously.

This indicates that focus is achieved at all those AF points. When the AF point covering the desired subject also flashes, take the picture.

- 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 the focus lock (p.53) will not work in this case.

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

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

● The flash fired even though 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 Flash off mode (p.55). Other than the flash setting, the camera will shoot with the same settings as with <^+> .

The flash fired and the picture came out extremely bright.

Move further away from the subject and shoot. When shooting flash photography, 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.

- 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.

Full Auto Techniques (Scene Intelligent Auto)

Recomposing the Shot

CANON EOS 1500D - Recomposing the Shot - 1

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

Depending on the scene, position the subject toward the left or right to create a balanced background and good 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 <^+> ).

Shooting a Moving Subject

CANON EOS 1500D - Shooting a Moving Subject - 1

natural_image Black-and-white photo of windsurfing in the ocean with multiple turbines visible in the background (no text or symbols)

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

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

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.

CA Creative Auto Shooting

In the <> mode, you can easily change the depth of field, drive/self-timer, and flash firing. You can also select and shoot with the ambience you want to convey in your images. The default settings are the same as the <^+> mode.

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.

CANON EOS 1500D - Shooting Tips - 1

- If you hold down the shutter button, you can shoot continuously (max. approx. 3 shots/sec.) to capture changes in the subject's facial expression and pose.

- If necessary, the built-in flash will fire automatically.

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 <▶> 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 <▶> (Night Portrait) and use a tripod (p.64).

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 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, the focus indicator <●> will blink.

If you use flash and the bottom part of the picture comes out unnaturally dark, move away from the subject and try again.

With a zoom lens, use the telephoto end.

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

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, < ③> (Built-in flash off) is set. Try to prevent camera shake when shooting in low-light conditions.

CANON EOS 1500D - - Avoid using flash. - 1

  • 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.

Shooting Night Portraits

To shoot people at night and obtain a natural-looking night scene in the background, use the <▶> (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.

CANON EOS 1500D - Shooting Tips - 1

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 and focus manually.

CANON EOS 1500D - Shooting Tips - 2

  • 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.

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 [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.

CANON EOS 1500D - Shooting Conditions that Make Focusing Difficult - 1

  • If focus is not achieved with the shooting conditions on the preceding page, set the lens's focus mode switch to and focus manually.
  • If you use AF with any of the following lenses, using [Quick mode] is recommended. Autofocusing with [FlexiZone - Single] or ['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.

CANON EOS 1500D - Shooting Conditions that Make Focusing Difficult - 2

  • If you shoot a peripheral subject and it is slightly out of focus, recompose to move the subject (and AF point) toward the screen center, 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.

Quick Mode: AFQuick

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).

General Live View Shooting Cautions

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 <图标> and Red <图标> Internal Temperature Warning Icons

  • If the camera's internal temperature increases due to prolonged Live View shooting or under a high ambient temperature, a white <图标> or red <图标> icon will appear.
  • The white <图标> 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 <图标> icon indicates that the Live View shooting will soon stop automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the camera's internal temperature decreases. Exit the Live View shooting or turn off the power and let the camera rest for a while.
  • Using Live View shooting at a high temperature for a prolonged period will cause the <图标> or <图标> icon to appear earlier. When you are not shooting, always turn off the camera.
  • If the camera's internal temperature is high, the quality of images shot with high ISO speed or long exposure may deteriorate even before the white <图标> 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 and shift or tilt the lens or use an Extension Tube, the standard exposure may not be obtained or the exposure may be irregular.

CANON EOS 1500D - Shooting Results - 1

General Live View Shooting Cautions

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 [⚡2: 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 also will not work if an external Speedlite is used.

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

Complies with IMDA Standards DB00671

FCC/IC NOTICE

Model: DS126741 (including WLAN module: ES200)

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 DS126741 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 2014/53/EU.
