Handling Precautions Camera Care This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical shock. Do not point the camera-attached lens toward the sun. The sun’s heat can damage the camera’s internal components. 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 cloth.
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 coming up, have the camera checked by your Canon dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly. When you detach the lens, the image sensor will be exposed. To prevent scratching the image sensor, do not touch the image sensor.
Handling Precautions 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 among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying only black or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded. If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period with the same screen displayed, screen burn-in may occur where you see remnants of what was displayed.
Handling Precautions 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. Contacts Cautions regarding Prolonged Use If you use continuous shooting, Live View shooting, or movie shooting for a prolonged period, the camera may become hot.

6 Shooting Night Portraits (Night Portrait) (With a Tripod) Attach Speedlite 90EX and shoot portraits with a beautiful and bright night scene in the background. 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. Take portraits without flash. When the Speedlite’s power is <1>, the Speedlite will fire a flash automatically under low-light conditions to obtain a nice portrait.
6 Shooting Night Portraits (Night Portrait) (With a Tripod) Tell the subject to keep still even after the flash fires. If you use a flash with the self-timer, the self-timer/AF-assist beam lamp will light up briefly after the picture is taken. When shooting night scenes or other scenes where multiple point-like light sources appear on the screen, the camera may not be able to focus automatically. In such cases, setting the [AF method] to [FlexiZone Single] is recommended.
F Shooting Night Scenes Handheld (Handheld Night Scene) For shooting night scenes while handholding the camera. When you take a picture, four shots are taken continuously to produce a single, bright photo that reduces camera shake. Shooting Tips Hold the camera firmly. While shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. If the continuous shots are very misaligned due to camera shake, etc., they may not align properly in the final image.
G Shooting Backlit Scenes (HDR Backlight Control) When shooting a scene having both bright and dark areas. When you take a picture, three continuous shots will be taken at different exposures. The loss of detail in highlights and shadows will be reduced in the final image. Shooting Tips Hold the camera firmly. While shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. If the continuous shots are very misaligned due to camera shake, etc., they may not align properly in the final image.
Cautions for When shooting night scenes and other scenes with multiple point-like light sources, the camera may not be able to focus automatically. In such cases, set the focus mode to [MF] and focus manually. When shooting flash photography, if the flash fires and the subject’s background is close enough to be illuminated by the flash or the night scene has only few lights, the shots may not align correctly. This can result in a blurry photo.

Troubleshooting Guide If a problem occurs with the camera, first refer to this Troubleshooting Guide. If this Troubleshooting Guide does not resolve the problem, contact your dealer or nearest Canon Service Center. Power-Related Problems The battery pack does not recharge. Check that the battery pack is properly attached to the battery charger. Check that the battery charger is properly connected to the power outlet. Do not recharge any battery pack other than a genuine Canon Battery Pack LP-E12.
Troubleshooting Guide The battery becomes exhausted quickly. Use a fully-charged battery pack (p.32). The rechargeable battery pack performance will degrade over repeated use. Purchase a new one. The number of possible shots will decrease with any of the following operations: • Pressing the shutter button halfway for a prolonged period. (Often activating only the AF without taking a picture.) • Using the lens’ Image Stabilizer. • You shoot movies for prolonged periods.
Troubleshooting Guide Shooting-Related Problems No images can be shot or recorded. Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.34). Slide the card’s write-protect switch to the Write/Erase position (p.34). If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to make room (p.34, 254). The card cannot be used. If a card error message is displayed, see page 36 or 323. The image is out of focus. Set the focus mode to (p.116). To prevent camera shake, press the shutter button gently (p.
Troubleshooting Guide When [FlexiZone - Multi] is set, it takes longer for the camera to focus automatically. Depending on the shooting conditions, it may take longer to focus the subject. Use [FlexiZone - Single] or focus manually. The continuous shooting speed is slow. Depending on the lens type, shutter speed, aperture, subject conditions, brightness, etc., the continuous shooting speed may become slower. During continuous shooting, the image on the LCD monitor seems to be out of focus.
Troubleshooting Guide The maximum burst during continuous shooting is lower. With (Handheld Night Scene) or (HDR Backlight Control) shooting mode, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will greatly decrease (p.87). With ISO 12800 or “H” (equivalent to ISO 25600), the maximum burst for continuous shooting will greatly decrease (p.111). With [Chromatic aberration: Enable], the maximum burst for continuous shooting will greatly decrease (p.164).
Troubleshooting Guide Even though I set a decreased exposure compensation, the image comes out bright. Set [A3: Auto Lighting Optimizer] to [Disable]. When [Standard], [Low] or [High] is set, even if you set a decreased exposure compensation or flash exposure compensation, the image may come out bright (p.159). When I use the mode with flash, the shutter speed becomes slow.
Troubleshooting Guide High-speed sync cannot be set in the mode. Under [A1: External Speedlite control], set [Flash sync. speed in Av mode] to [Auto] (p.221). During shooting, the white icon or red icon is displayed. This icon indicates that the camera’s internal temperature is too high. The white icon indicates degraded still photo quality. The red icon indicates that the power will soon turn off automatically (p.128, 201). Movie shooting stops by itself.
Troubleshooting Guide The subject looks distorted during movie shooting. If you move the camera to the left or right quickly (high-speed panning) or shoot a moving subject, the image may look distorted. The image flickers or horizontal stripes appear during movie shooting. Flickering, horizontal stripes (noise), or irregular exposures can be caused by fluorescent light, LED bulbs, or other light sources during movie shooting. Also, changes in the exposure (brightness) or color tone may also be recorded.
Troubleshooting Guide Display Problems The menu screen shows few tabs and options. With Scene Intelligent Auto, Basic Zone modes, and the movie shooting mode, certain tabs and menu options are not displayed. Set the shooting mode to a Creative Zone mode (p.54). The file name’s first character is an underscore (“_”). Set the color space to sRGB. If Adobe RGB is set, the first character will be an underscore (p.176). The file name starts with “MVI_”. It is a movie file (p.211).
Troubleshooting Guide The LCD monitor does not display a clear image. If the LCD monitor is dirty, use a soft cloth to clean it. In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow or may look black. It will return to normal at room temperature. [Eye-Fi settings] does not appear. [Eye-Fi settings] will appear only when an Eye-Fi card is inserted in the camera.
Troubleshooting Guide When the movie is played back, camera operation noise can be heard. If you operate the camera’s dials or lens during movie shooting, the operation noise will also be recorded. Using an external microphone (commercially available) is recommended (p.197). The movie has still moments. During autoexposure movie shooting, if there is a drastic change in the exposure level, the recording will stop momentarily until the brightness stabilizes.
Troubleshooting Guide Sensor Cleaning Problems The shutter makes a noise during sensor cleaning. If you selected [Clean nowf], the shutter will make a noise, but no picture is taken (p.225). Automatic sensor cleaning does not work. If you repeatedly switch the power to <1>/<2> at a short interval, the icon may not appear (p.37). Printing-Related Problems There are fewer printing effects than listed in the instruction manual. What is displayed on the screen differs depending on the printer.
Error Codes Error number If there is a problem with the camera, an error message will appear. Follow the onscreen instructions. Countermeasures Number 01 02 Error Message and Solution Communications between the camera and lens is faulty. Clean the lens contacts. Î Clean the electrical contacts on the camera and lens or use a Canon lens (p.19, 22). Card cannot be accessed. Reinsert/change card or format card with camera.
