Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the LP-E17 battery is fully charged using the provided charger before your first session. Insert the battery and your SD card into the slots located on the bottom of the grip. The camera uses the Canon EF-M lens mount; while native EF-M lenses are the most compact choice, you can use a mount adapter to expand your selection to Canon EF or EF-S lenses.
For connectivity, use the USB Type-C port for rapid file transfers to a computer or the HDMI output for external monitor viewing. When caring for the camera, keep the sensor protected from dust by avoiding unnecessary lens changes in windy or dirty environments. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the external body and a dedicated sensor cleaning kit if you notice debris in your images.
