Photograph a wide variety of subjects under almost any condition. Let the

operation is simple with the electronic dials.
Before taking pictures, read this instruction booklet and familiarize yourself
with your new camera.
Read "Handling Precautions" on page 6 to prevent camera malfunction and
damage.
Keep this instruction booklet handy for easy reference.
Symbols
The Caution symbol alerts you to actions to prevent picture-taking
problems.
The Note symbol gives additional information for basic camera
operation.
The Light bulb symbol offers helpful tips for operating your camera
or taking pictures.
Precautions
· Before using the camera for an important event, be sure to take test
shots to make sure the camera operates properly.
· EOS cameras have a lens mount for dedicated operation
(autofocusing, exposure control, etc.) with EF lenses. Using a non-EF
lens with an EOS camera may result in improper camera or lens
operation.
Note that the warranty does not cover any camera malfunction or
damage occurring with the use of non-Canon accessories.
