Handling Precautions
 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 Canon dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure 
it is working properly.
  If you use continuous shooting, Live View shooting, or movie shooting for a 
prolonged period, the camera may become hot. This is not a malfunction.
LCD Monitor Although the LCD monitor is manuf actured with very high precision 
technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there may be a few dead pixels 
displaying only black or red, etc. among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. 
Dead pixels are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded.
  If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur 
where you see remnants of what was  displayed. However, this is only 
temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days.
  The LCD monitor display may seem slow in low temperatures, or look black 
in high temperatures. It will return to normal at room temperature.
CardsTo 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 TV set, speakers, or magn et. 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.
LensAfter detaching the lens from the camera, put down the lens 
with the rear end up and attach the lens caps to avoid 
scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.
Smudges Adhering to the Front of the SensorBesides dust entering the camera from outside, in rare 
cases lubricant from the camera’s internal parts may adhere 
to the front of the sensor. If visible spots remain on the 
image, having the sensor cleaned by a Canon Service 
Center is recommended.

Getting Started
This chapter explains preparatory steps before you start 
shooting and basic camera operations.
Attaching the Strap

the camera’s strap mount eyelet 
from the bottom. Then pass it 
through the strap’s buckle as shown 
in the illustration. Pull the strap to 
take up any slack and make sure 
the strap will not loosen from the 
buckle.
 The eyepiece cover is also

1Remove the protective cover.
 Detach the protective cover provided 
with the battery.
2Attach the battery.
 As shown in the illustration, attach the 
battery securely to the charger.
  To detach the battery, follow the 
above procedure in reverse.
3Recharge the battery.
For LC-E10
 As shown by the arrow, flip out the 
battery charger’s prongs and insert 
the prongs into a power outlet.
For LC-E10E
 Connect the power cord to the 
charger and insert the plug into a 
power outlet. 
X Recharging starts automatically and 
the charge lamp lights up in orange.
X When the battery is fully recharged, 
the full-charge lamp will light up in 
green.
  It takes approx. 2 hours to fully recharge a completely 
exhausted battery at room temperature (23°C / 73°F). The time 
required to recharge the battery will vary greatly depending on 
the ambient temperature and the battery’s remaining capacity.
  For safety reasons, recharging in low temperatures (6°C - 10°C / 
43°F - 50°F) will take longer (up to approx. 4 hours).
