Getting Started
This chapter explains preparatory steps before you start 
shooting and basic camera operations.
Attaching the Strap
Pass the end of the strap through 
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 attached to 
the strap (p.271).

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. 
 Recharging starts and the charge 
lamp lights up in orange.
 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).

Charging the Battery
Upon purchase, the battery is not fully charged.
Charge the battery before use.
 Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be 
used.
Even during storage, a charged batte ry will gradually drain and lose 
its capacity.
 After recharging the battery, detach it and disconnect the 
charger from the power outlet.
 When not using the camera, remove the battery.
If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small 
amount of power current is releas ed, resulting in excess discharge 
and shorter battery life. Store the ba ttery with the protective cover 
(provided) attached. Storing the battery when it is fully charged may 
lower the battery’s performance.
 The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.
The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/
60 Hz power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available 
plug adapter for the respective country or region. Do not attach any 
portable voltage transformer to t he battery charger. Doing so can 
damage the battery charger.
 If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully 
charged, the battery has reached the end of its service life.
Purchase a new battery.
Tips for Using the Battery and Charger
 After disconnecting the charger’s power plug, do not touch the prongs for 
at least 3 sec.
 Do not charge any battery other than a Battery Pack LP-E10.
 Battery Pack LP-E10 is dedicated to Canon products only. Using it with 
an incompatible battery charger or product may result in malfunction or 
accidents for which Canon cannot be held liable.

Load a fully charged Battery Pack LP-E10 into the camera. You can use 
an SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory card (sold separately) with the 
camera. The captured images are recorded onto the card.Make sure the card’s write-protect switch is set upward to 
enable writing and erasing.
1Open the cover.
Slide the lever as shown by the 
arrows and open the cover.
2Insert the battery.
Insert the end with the electrical 
contacts.

place.
3Insert the card.
As shown by the illustration, face 
the card’s label side toward the 
back of the camera and insert it 
until it clicks in place.
4Close the cover.
Press the cover until it snaps shut.
 When you set the power switch to

Removing the Battery and Card
After opening the card slot/battery compartment cover, be careful not to 
forcefully swing it back further. Otherwise, the hinge may break.
 The number of possible shots depends  on the remaining capacity of the 
card, image-recording quality, ISO speed, etc.
 Setting [ z1: Release shutter without card ] to [Disable ] will prevent 
you from shooting without a card inserted (p.184).

When the access lamp is lit or blinking, it indicates that images are 
being written to, read from, or erased from the card, or data is being 
transferred. Do not open the card slot/battery compartment cover.
Also, never do any of the following while the access lamp is lit or 
blinking. Otherwise, it can damage the image data, card, or camera.
• Removing the card.
• Removing the battery.
• Shaking or banging the camera around.
• Unplugging and connecting a power cord  (when household power 
outlet accessories (sold separately, p.270) are used).
 If the card already contains recorded images, the image number may not 
start from 0001 (p.188).
 If a card-related error message is displayed on the LCD monitor, remove 
and reinsert the card. If the error persists, use a different card.
If you can transfer all the images on the card to a computer, transfer all 
the images and then format the card with the camera (p.52). The card 
may then return to normal.
 Do not touch the card’s contacts with your fingers or metal objects. Do 
not expose the contacts to dust or water. If a smudge adheres to the 
contacts, contact failure may result.
 Multimedia cards (MMC) cannot be used (card error will be displayed).
