Introduction
The Canon EOS D30 is a high-quality, high-precision, digital single-lens reflex camera with a
CMOS sensor that has a total pixel count of 3.25 million pixels.
This camera provides a full range of imaging options and functions ideal for every
photographic use, from easy, fully automatic shots for first-time users to applications for
experienced photographers.
A CompactFlash card* (CF card Type
1, 2) is used as the recording media.
Before you use your EOS D30, be sure to read this user's guide with your camera on hand.
This will help you become more familiar with your camera, and learn how to operate it properly.
* We strongly recommend that you use a Canon CF card.
Test Shots and Warranty of Photographic Images
Before taking important pictures, we would strongly recommend that you first shoot several trial
images to make sure you are operating the camera correctly. Please note that the manufacturer
is not liable for any consequential damages arising from any malfunction of the EOS D30
camera or recording media (CF card) that results in the failure of an image to be recorded or
transferred to a computer.
