    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 the camera gets wet, contact a Canon Service Center immediately. Wipe off any water droplets with a clean, dry cloth, and if the camera is exposed to salty air, wipe it off with a clean, well-wrung wet cloth. 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 dusty or dirty locations may lead to damage. Cleaning the camera after use is recommended. Allowing dirt, dust, water, or salt to remain on the camera may cause a malfunction. 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 malfunction 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. 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, to avoid damage, do not use the camera or remove the card. Turn the camera off and wait until the moisture has fully evaporated before resuming use. Even after the camera is completely dry, if it is still internally cold, do not remove the card until the camera has adjusted to the ambient temperature. If the camera will not be used for an extended period, store it 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. The camera may become hot after repeated continuous shooting or still photo/movie shooting over an extended period. This is not a malfunction. If there is a bright light source inside or outside the image area, ghosting may occur. 15

    Viewfinder Although the viewfinder is produced under extremely high-precision manufacturing conditions and more than 99.99% of the pixels meet design specifications, 0.01% or fewer pixels may be defective or appear as red or black dots. This does not indicate damage. They do not affect the images recorded. 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 television, 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. Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations. 16

    Charging the Camera

  • Charge the camera.
  • Charge the camera by connecting the camera’s Digital terminal to a power adapter (sold separately). After charging begins, the indicator lamp turns orange. The indicator lamp goes off after charging is finished. Charging the camera when it is fully depleted takes approx. 1 hr. and 50 min. at room temperature (23°C/73°F). The time required to charge the battery will vary greatly depending on the ambient temperature and the battery’s remaining capacity. For safety, charging in low temperatures (5–10°C/41–50°F) takes longer. The camera can also be used while plugged in for charging. Caution Charging and powering may stop if the camera becomes hot. Note For charging and powering the camera, an optional USB Power Adapter PD-E1 is recommended. Some commercially available power adapters (USB Type-C Power Delivery, with an output voltage/current of at least 9V DC/2A) have also been confirmed to work with the camera. For details, check the Canon website. The camera is not fully charged when you receive it. Charge the battery before use. Charge the camera on the day you will use it or the day before. The built-in battery will gradually lose its charge, even if it is not used. Use the camera where the temperature is 0–35°C (32–95°F). For optimal camera performance, use where the ambient temperature is 0–35°C (32– 95°F). Lower temperatures may temporarily reduce the performance and life of the built- in battery. Higher temperatures may prevent continuous shooting if the camera becomes hot. 20

    (Face)+Tracking: The camera detects and focuses on people’s faces. When no face is detected, focusing areas are determined from a variety of conditions. Caution An object other than a human face may be detected as a face. Face detection will not work if the face is very small or large in the picture, too bright or too dark, or partially hidden. AF may not detect subjects or people’s faces at the edges of the screen. Recompose the shot to center the subject or bring the subject closer to the center. 45

    1-point AF: The camera focuses in a single AF point in the center. 46

    Page 47

    AF Shooting Tips Even when focus is achieved, pressing the shutter button halfway will focus again. Image brightness may change during autofocusing. It may take some time to focus, depending on the subject and shooting conditions. If the light source changes as you shoot, the screen may flicker, and focusing may be difficult. In this case, restart the camera and resume shooting with AF under the light source you will use. For peripheral subjects that are slightly out of focus, try to focus again with the subject centered, then recompose the shot and shoot. 47

    Page 48

    Shooting Conditions That Make Focusing Difficult Subjects with low contrast, such as a blue sky or flat surfaces in solid colors, or other cases when highlight or shadow details are clipped. 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 light sources with constantly changing brightness, colors, or patterns. Night scenes or points of light. The image flickers under fluorescent or LED lighting. Extremely small subjects. Subjects at the edge of the screen. Strongly backlit or reflective subjects (Example: Car with a highly reflective surfaces, etc.). Near and distant subjects covered by an AF point (Example: Animal in a cage, etc.). Subjects that keep moving within the AF point and will not stay still due to camera shake or subject blur. Performing AF when the subject is very far out of focus. Noise (dots of light, banding, etc.) appears on the screen during AF. 48

    Cards That Can Record Movies See Card performance requirements (movie recording) for details on cards that can record at each level of movie recording quality. Test cards by recording a few movies to make sure they can record correctly. Caution If you use a slow-writing card when recording movies, the movie may not be recorded properly. Also, if you play back a movie on a card with a slow reading speed, the movie may not be played back properly. When recording movies, use high-performance cards with a writing speed sufficiently higher than the bit rate. When movies cannot be recorded correctly, format the card and try again. If formatting the card does not resolve the problem, refer to the card manufacturer’s website, etc. 52

    Communication Function Precautions In case of slower transmission, lost connections, choppy image display, or other problems when using communication functions, try the following corrective actions. If the wireless LAN transmission rate drops due to interference from the following electronic devices, stop using them or establish a connection away from them. In IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless networks, the camera communicates on the 2.4 GHz band. For this reason, the wireless LAN transmission rate may drop if there are nearby Bluetooth devices, microwave ovens, cordless telephones, microphones, smartphones, or similar devices operating on the same frequency band. 89

    Security If security settings have not been properly set, the following problems may occur. Transmission monitoring Third parties with malicious intent may monitor wireless LAN transmissions and attempt to acquire the data you are sending. Unauthorized network access Third parties with malicious intent may gain unauthorized access to the network you are using to steal, modify, or destroy information. Additionally, you could fall victim to other types of unauthorized access such as impersonation (where someone assumes an identity to gain access to unauthorized information) or springboard attacks (where someone gains unauthorized access to your network as a springboard to cover their tracks when infiltrating other systems). It is recommended to make use of the systems and functions to thoroughly secure your network, preventing these types of problems from occurring. 90
