Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the camera, insert a fully charged LP-E6N battery and a compatible high-speed SD or CompactFlash card. Mount your choice of Canon EF-mount lens by aligning the red or white index marks. The camera is natively compatible with the entire range of Canon EF lenses, making it an excellent choice for photographers with existing glass. For care, keep the sensor clean by avoiding lens changes in dusty environments and utilize the built-in automatic sensor cleaning feature. If the exterior needs cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the weather-sealing gaskets. Store the camera in a cool, dry place and remove the battery if the camera will be inactive for an extended period.
