19 Preparing the Camera, Basic Functions Battery Pack Handling PrecautionszKeep the battery pack and camera terminals ( ) clean at all times. Dirty terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and camera. Polish the terminals with a tissue or a dry cloth before charging or using the battery pack. z Do not cover the battery charger with anything, such as a tablecloth, cushion or blanket, when it is charging. Heat will build up internally and possibly lead to fire. z Do not charge batteries other than Battery Pack BP-511A, BP- 511, BP-512 or BP-514 with the supplied equipment. This may cause a malfunction. z The battery pack continues to discharge a small amount when left in the camera even with the power turned off. This shortens the battery life. Remove the battery pack from the camera when it is not in use. z Do not allow any metal objects such as keyrings to touch the “ ” and “ ” terminals (Fig. A), as this can damage the battery pack. To carry the battery pack, or store it during periods of disuse, always replace the terminal cover (Fig. B) or place it in the supplied case and store it in a cool, dry place. z This is a lithium ion battery pack so there is no need to completely use or discharge it before recharging. It can be recharged at any time. However, since the maximum number of charge cycles is approximately 300 (battery life), you are recommended to only charge the battery pack after having discharged it completely to prolong battery life. z It takes approximately 90 minutes to bring a fully discharged battery pack to a fully charged state (based on Canon’s testing standard). z Charging times will vary according to the surrounding humidity and battery pack charge state. z The separately sold Battery Pack BP-511, BP-512 and BP-514 can also be used in this camera.
Charging the Battery Pack (continued) 20 When using Battery Pack BP-511A or BP-514, you can distinguish between the discharged battery pack and fully charged battery pack by changing the direction of the battery cover (Fig. C and D). Recharge the battery fully before using it again. z Even charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. You are advised to charge the battery on the day of use, or one day before, to ensure a full charge. z Since storing a fully charged battery pack for long periods of time (about 1 year) can shorten its lifecycle or affect performance, you are recommended to use the battery pack in the camera until the symbol displays and to store it at normal temperature (30 °C/ 86 °F) or lower. If you do not use the battery pack for long periods of time, charge it fully and discharge it fully in the camera at least once a year before returning it to storage. z The camera consumes the battery charge when the power is on even when a function is not being used. To conserve the battery charge, be particularly attentive in turning the camera off. z Although the battery pack’s maximum operating range is 0 to 40 °C (32 to 104 °F), the optimal range is 10 to 30 °C (50 to 86 °F). At cold temperatures, such as those experienced when skiing, performance will temporarily decline, reducing the usable time before recharging. z If the usable time of a battery pack diminishes substantially even when fully charged, it should be replaced.

21 Preparing the Camera, Basic Functions Installing the Battery Pack/CF card Install Battery Pack BP-511A (supplied) and the CF card (supplied) into the camera as follows. Use the Compact Power Adapter CA-560 (sold separately) to power the camera for extended periods (p. 182). zCharge the battery pack before using it for the first time (p. 18). 1Check that the power is off (p. 29) and slide the CF card/battery cover in the direction of the arrow. 2Insert the battery pack. z The terminal side of the battery pack should face downward. z Insert the battery pack all the way in until the battery lock clicks. To remove the battery pack, push the battery lock. 1 4 2 3 Battery lock CF card eject button Label Indicator Terminals
Installing the Battery Pack/CF card (continued) 22 Battery Status SymbolsThe following icons indicate the battery status on the display panel. These icons will not appear while the camera is powered with a compact power adapter. 3Insert the CF card.zThe label side of the CF card should face the battery compartment. z Push the card in until the CF card eject button fully extends. To remove the CF card, push the CF card eject button and pull the card out. 4Slide the CF card/battery cover closed. zWhen the indicator blinks, the camera is writing, reading, erasing or transmitting an image to or from the card. Do not perform the following, or image data may be lost or corrupted: • Do not shake the camera. • Do not turn off the power or open the CF card/battery cover. z You are recommended to use CF cards that have been formatted in your camera (p. 139). The card supplied with the camera may be used without further formatting. z Remove the battery pack when the camera is not in use. z See CF Cards and Estimated Capacities (Recordable Images) (p. 191). z See Battery Performance (p. 190). : Sufficient battery charge : Low battery : Replace or recharge battery
23 Preparing the Camera, Basic Functions CF Card Handling PrecautionszCF cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend, force, or subject them to shocks or vibration. z Do not attempt to disassemble or alter a CF card. z Moving a CF card rapidly between temperature extremes may cause condensation to form in the card, leading to potential malfunctions. To avoid condensation formation, place the CF card in a sealed plastic bag before moving it into a different temperature zone and allow it to adjust slowly to the new temperature. If condensation forms on the CF card, put it aside until the water droplets have evaporated completely. z Place the CF card in the supplied case for storage. z Do not use or store CF cards in the following types of locations. • Locations subject to dust or sand • Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures Microdrives are a recording medium with a hard disk. Their merits are a large capacity and a low price per megabyte of capacity. However, they can be more susceptible to vibrations and shocks than CF cards, which use durable flash memories. Please be careful, therefore, not to subject the camera to vibrations or shocks when using a microdrive, especially while recording or during playback.
24 Attaching the Neck Strap Attaching the Lens Cap Attach the strap as illustrated on the left. Pull the strap tight in the buckle so that it does not slip. Perform the same steps on the other side of the camera (p. 11). zAvoid waving the camera about or catching it on other items when suspending it from the strap. Attach the lens cap as illustrated on the left. Always replace the lens cap after use. To remove the lens cap, press the tabs on the lens cap and pull. zRemove the lens cap before turning on the camera’s power.
25 Preparing the Camera, Basic Functions Attaching the Lens Hood When shooting backlit scenes without a flash with the lens set to a wide angle, you should attach the lens hood to prevent light outside the scene from coming into the lens. Be sure to turn off the camera before you attach the lens hood. Attaching the Filter Adapter If you wish to attach a commercially available filter (58 mm diameter), attach the filter adapter in advance. Be sure to turn off the camera before you attach the filter adapter. Attach the lens hood so that its z meets the lens’ z, then turn the lens hood clockwise until the lens’ zmeets . z If you use the built-in flash when the lens hood is attached, a portion of the image appears to be blocked by the lens hood and appears dark. Attach the filter adapter so that its z meets the lens’z, then turn the filter adapter clockwise until the lens’ zmeets . z The filter adapter is exclusively for use with a filter. If you wish to attach Close-up Lens 500D (sold separately) to the camera, use Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC58C (sold separately) (p. 177). z Attaching more than one filter at the same time may cause dark shadows on the image depending on the zoom position.
