Handling Precautions ШЕННЕ
Camera Care
(1) This camera is not waterproof and cannot be used in rain or under
water. If the camera gets really wet, promptly consult your nearest
Canon Service Center. If there are any water droplets on the camera,
wipe off with a dry cloth. If the camera has been exposed to salt air,
wipe with a clean, well-wrung, damp cloth.
(2) Do not leave the camera in places prone to excessive heat such as ina
car on a sunny day. Excessive heat can cause the camera to
malfunction.
(3) Use only a blower brush to remove any dust on the lens or in the film
compartment. Do not use a cleaner containing organic solvent to clean
the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, consult your nearest Canon
Service Center.
(4) When you will not be using the camera for an extended period, remove
the batteries. Store the camera in a well-ventilated, cool, dry place.
Release the shutter a few times occasionally to make sure the camera
still works.
(5) Avoid storing the camera in a laboratory, cabinet, etc., where corrosive
chemicals are present.
(6) Before using the camera after an extended period of disuse, check that
all the camera controls function properly or take it to the nearest Canon
Service Center for inspection. Do this especially before shooting an
important event or going on a trip.
LCD Panel
In time, the camera's LCD panel display may fade and become difficult to
read. If this happens, have it replaced (at cost) by a Canon Service Center.
At low temperatures, the LCD panel's display response may become
slower. And at 60°С or higher temperatures, the display may blacken. In
either case, the display will return to normal at room temperature.

Handling Precautions
Lithium Batteries
(1) The camera operates on two CR2 lithium batteries. Check the battery
level in the following cases:
* After replacing the batteries.
* After not using the camera for an extended period.
* The shutter stops working.
* The camera is being used in a low-temperature environment.
* You will be shooting an important event.
Before installing the batteries, wipe the battery contacts to remove any
fingerprints and smudges. This is to prevent faulty connections and
corrosion.
Although the batteries work well even at low temperatures, battery
performance may decline slightly at freezing temperatures. In such a
case, keep spare batteries warm in a pocket, etc., and use and warm
the batteries alternately.

How Low Battery Levels Affect Camera Operation
Even when 27: blinks on the LCD panel, a proper exposure will be
obtained as long as the shutter releases. However, since the battery level
is low, film advance and auto rewind may not work. Replace the batteries
with new ones.
Lens
After detaching the lens from the camera,
put on the lens caps or put down the lens
with the rear end up to avoid scratching
the lens surface and electrical contacts.

Ы Pass the end of ће strap through the.
Eyepiece cover camera's strap eyelet from the bottom.
Then pass it through the strap's clasps.
Pull the strap to make sure it does not slip
out of the clasp.
* The eyepiece cover is also attached to
the strap. See page 34.

Installing the Batteries and Checking the Battery Level mmm
Installing the Batteries
The camera uses two lithium CR2 batteries.
| Slide the battery chamber cover
lever as shown by the arrow and
open the battery chamber cover.
| B Insert the batteries with the
4. contacts (+ and -) oriented as
~ shown on the battery chamber
Cover.
* Do not mix old and new batteries.
Close the battery chamber cover.
Press the cover until it snaps
shut.

Installing the Batteries and Checking the Battery Level
Checking the Battery Level
Check the battery level after replacing the batteries and before using the
camera.
Turn the Command Dial to any
setting except <>.
* The camera will then turn on and the
LCD panel will display one of the
following battery level icons:
$ : Battery level OK.
Q : The battery level is low. Keep
spare batteries handy.
Battery exhaustion is
imminent.
Replace the batteries. (See
page 7.) In this case, the
shutter button will not function.
Battery level icon
Battery Service Life (With 24-ex. rolls)
Ambient Temperature | 0% Flash Use | 50% Flash Use | 100% Flash Use

* The Battery Service Life table above is based on Canon's testing
conditions using an EF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 II lens and new batteries.
* Operating the camera without film will still consume battery power. It will
reduce the number of rolls that can be taken with the batteries.
If nothing is displayed on the LCD panel, the batteries may have been
installed incorrectly. Take out the batteries and install correctly (See page 16).
For places where CR2 batteries may not be easily available, take spare
batteries with you. Also carry spare batteries for extended shooting sessions.

How the Shutter Button Works Ss
The EOS camera's shutter button can be depressed halfway or all the way.
There is a click stop at the halfway point.
Pressing the Shutter Button Halfway or Completely |
The shutter button works as described below.
When it is pressed halfway:
* Autofocusing is activated, and when
focus is achieved, the beeper sounds
and the viewfinder's in-focus indicator
lights in green.
* The shutter speed and aperture are
also set and displayed on the LCD
panel and in the viewfinder.
Кс.
T
When it is pressed completely:
* The shutter is released to take the
picture and the film advances by one
frame.
Camera movement during the moment of exposure is called camera shake.
Camera shake can cause blurred pictures.
To prevent blurred pictures due to camera shake:
* Hold the camera steady (see page 22).
* Use the center of your finger to touch the shutter button, grasp the camera
with your entire right hand, then press the shutter button gently.

Loading and Unloading Film
Loading Film
After you load the film, the camera first winds the entire roll onto the
camera's take-up spool. Then each time a picture is taken, one frame of
film is rewound back into the film cartridge.
Turn the Command Dial to any
setting except <[й>.
Slide up the camera back lock-
release lever to open the camera
back.
Insert the film cartridge at an
angle as shown in the figure.
Hold down the film cartridge and
pull the edge of the film leader to
the orange mark on the camera.
Then close the camera back.
* Press down the film cartridge so that it is set
securely and the film does not slacken.
* If the edge of the film leader goes beyond
the orange mark, push some of the film
back into the cartridge.
* While the film is prewinding around the take-
up spool, the ISO film speed will be
displayed on the LCD panel.
* While the film is prewinding around the take-
up spool, the frame counter counts up.
When it stops, camera will make a shutter-
release sound and the <@> icon and total
frame count will be displayed.
* If the frame count is not displayed and the
<> icon is blinking, it means that the film
was not properly loaded. Take out the film
cartridge and load it in the camera again.
