Preliminary Notes and Legal
Information
●Take and review some test shots initially to make sure the images
were recorded correctly. Please note that Canon Inc., its subsidiaries
and afliates, and its distributors are not liable for any consequential
damages arising from any malfunction of a camera or accessory,
including memory cards, that result in the failure of an image to be
recorded or to be recorded in a way that is machine readable.
●The user’s unauthorized photographing or recording (video and/or
sound) of people or copyrighted materials may invade the privacy of
such people and/or may violate others’ legal rights, including copyright
and other intellectual property rights, even when such photographing
or recording is intended solely for personal use.
●The camera warranty is valid only in the area of purchase. In case of
camera problems while abroad, return to the area of purchase before
contacting a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
●Although the screen (monitor) is produced under extremely high-
precision manufacturing conditions and more than 99.99% of the
pixels meet design specications, in rare cases some pixels may be
defective or may appear as red or black dots. This does not indicate
camera damage or affect recorded images.
●When the camera is used over an extended period, it may become
warm. This does not indicate damage.
Conventions in This Guide
●In this guide, icons are used to represent the corresponding camera
buttons and dials on which they appear or which they resemble.
●The following camera buttons and controls are represented by icons.
●Shooting modes and on-screen icons and text are indicated in
brackets.
●: Important information you should know
●: Notes and tips for expert camera use
●: Indicates touch-screen operations
●=
xx: Pages with related information (in this example, “xx” represents
a page number)
●Instructions in this guide apply to the camera under default settings.
●For convenience, all lenses and mount adapters are simply referred to
as “lenses” and “mount adapters”, whether they are included or sold
separately.
●The illustrations in this guide show the camera with the
EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens attached as an example.
●For convenience, all supported memory cards are simply referred to as
the “memory card”.

how the function is used—whether for still images or movies.
