Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.
The EOS REBEL Ti (DATE) / 300V (DATE) is a very compact autofocus,
single-lens reflex camera. It can be used for a wide variety of subjects
and situations with fully automatic and user-controlled shooting modes.
Read this Instructions and familiarize yourself with your new camera
before taking pictures.
Also read “Handling Cautions” on page 4 to prevent camera malfunction
and damage.
Keep this instruction booklet handy for easy reference.
Before Using Your Camera
• Before shooting an important event, be sure to take test shots to
make sure the camera operates properly.
• EOS cameras have a lens mount for dedicated operation
(autofocusing, exposure control, etc.) with Canon EF lenses. Using
a non-Canon EF lens with an EOS camera may not result in proper
camera or lens operation.
Note that the warranty does not cover any camera malfunction or
damage occurring with the use of non-Canon products.

Handling Cautions  
Camera Care and Storage(1) The camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to
physical shock.
(2) This camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If
the camera gets really wet, promptly consult your nearest Canon
Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the
camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe with a well-wrung damp
cloth.
(3) Do not leave the camera in places prone to excessive heat such as
in a car on a sunny day. Excessive heat can cause the camera to
malfunction.
(4) The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to
disassemble the camera.
(5) Use only a blower brush to blow away dust on the lens, eyepiece,
mirror, focusing screen, and film compartment. Do not clean the
camera body or lens with a cleaner containing an organic solvent.
For stubborn dirt, consult your nearest Canon Service Center.
(6) The shutter curtains are extremely thin. Use only a blower to clean
them. Be careful not to blow air too forcefully on the shutter curtains.
The shutter curtains can be easily deformed or damaged. Also,
when loading and unloading film, be careful not to touch the shutter
curtains.
(7) Do not touch the electrical contacts with your fingers. Otherwise
corrosion may develop on the contacts, resulting in improper
camera operation.
(8) If the camera is not to be used for an extended period, remove the
battery. Store the camera in a well-ventilated, cool, dry place. During
the storage period, press the shutter button to release the shutter a
few times once in a while.
(9) Avoid storing the camera in a laboratory, cabinet, etc., where
corrosive chemicals are present.
(10) If the camera has not been used for an extended period or if the
camera is to be used for an important event, check the operation of
all the camera controls or take it to your nearest Canon Service
Center for inspection.

LCD DisplaysIn time, the camera’s LCD panel display and the LCD display in the
viewfinder 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 display response may become slower.
And at 60˚C/140˚F or higher temperatures, the display may blacken. In
either case, the display will return to normal at room temperature.
Lithium Batteries(1) The camera operates on two CR2 lithium batteries. Check the
battery level in the following cases (→page 14):
• 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.
(2) Before installing the batteries, wipe the battery contacts to remove
any fingerprints and smudges. This is to prevent faulty connections
and corrosion.
(3) Never disassemble or recharge the batteries. Also, never store a
battery in high-temperature places or short circuit the battery
contacts or toss a battery into a fire.
(4) 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 OperationOn the LCD panel, if the < > icon blinks or it is not displayed, a
proper exposure can still be obtained as long as the shutter releases.
However, when the battery level is low, film advance and auto rewind
might stop midway or not work at all and < > may blink on the LCD
panel. After the batteries are replaced with new ones, film advance will
be possible and film rewind can resume by pressing the < > button.
Lens Electrical ContactsAfter 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.Contacts
