Safety Warnings
Follow these safeguards and use the equipment properly to prevent injury, death, and material damage.
Preventing Serious Injury or Death
To prevent re, excessive heat, chemical leakage, and explosions, follow the safeguards below: - Do not use any batteries, power sources, and accessories not specied in this booklet. Do not use any home-made or modied batteries. - Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery pack or back-up battery. Do not apply heat or apply solder to the battery pack or back-up battery. Do not expose the battery pack or back-up battery to re or water. And do not subject the battery pack or back-up battery to strong physical shock. - Do not install the battery pack or back-up battery in reversed polarity (+ ). Do not mix new and old or different types of batteries. - Do not recharge the battery pack outside the allowable ambient temperature range of 0C - 40C (32F - 104F). Also, do not exceed the recharging time. - Do not insert any foreign metallic objects into the electrical contacts of the camera, accessories, connecting cables, etc. Keep the back-up battery away from children. If a child swallows the battery, consult a physician immediately. (Battery chemicals may harm the stomach and intestines.) When disposing of a battery pack or back-up battery, insulate the electrical contacts with tape to prevent contact with other metallic objects or batteries. This is to prevent re or an explosion. If excessive heat, smoke, or fumes are emitted during battery pack recharging, immediately unplug the battery charger from the power outlet to stop the recharging and prevent a re. If the battery pack or back-up battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or fumes, remove it immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process. Prevent any battery leakage from contacting your eyes, skin, and clothing. It can cause blindness or skin problems. If the battery leakage contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing, ush the affected area with lots of clean water without rubbing it. See a physician immediately. During the recharging, keep the equipment away from the reach of children. The cord can accidentally choke the child or give an electrical shock. Do not leave any cords near a heat source. It can deform the cord or melt the insulation and cause a re or electrical shock. Do not re the ash at someone driving a car. It may cause an accident. Do not re the ash near a persons eyes. It may impair the persons vision. When using ash to photograph an infant, keep at least 1 meter away. Before storing the camera or accessory when not in use, remove the battery pack and disconnect the power plug. This is to prevent electrical shock, heat generation, and re. Do not use the equipment where there is ammable gas. This is to prevent an explosion or re.

If the product does not work properly or requires repair, contact your dealer or your nearest Canon Service Center.

Handling Precautions

Camera Care
This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical shock. The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you accidentally drop the camera into water, 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 wet cloth. Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic eld such as a magnet or electric motor. Also avoid using or leaving the camera near anything emitting strong radio waves such as a large antenna. Strong magnetic elds can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data. Do not leave the camera in excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction. The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to disassemble the camera yourself. Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewnder, mirror, and focusing screen. Do not use cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, take the camera to a Canon Service Center. Do not touch the cameras electrical contacts with your ngers. This is to prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause camera misoperation. If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room, condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent condensation, rst put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag. If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid damaging the camera. If this occurs, remove the lens, CF card and battery from the camera, and wait until the condensation has evaporated before using the camera. If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while the camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a while to check that the camera is still working. Avoid storing the camera where there are corrosive chemicals such as a darkroom or chemical lab. If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions before using the camera. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is an important shoot coming up, have the camera checked by your Canon dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.
LCD Panel and LCD Monitor
Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision technology with over 99.99% active pixels, there might be a few dead pixels among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying only black or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded. At low temperatures, the liquid-crystal display response may become slower. And at high temperatures, the display may blacken. In either case, the display will return to normal at room temperature.

3 Cleaning the CMOS sensorN
The image sensor is like the lm in a lm camera. If any dust or other foreign matter adheres to the image sensor, it may show up as a dark speck in the images. To avoid this, follow the procedure below to clean the image sensor. Note that the image sensor is a very delicate component. If possible, you should have it cleaned by a Canon Service Center. While you clean the image sensor, the camera must be turned on. Using the AC Adapter Kit ACK-E2 (optional, see page 154) is recommended. If you use a battery, make sure the battery level is sufcient. Before cleaning the sensor, detach the lens from the camera.

RAW + JPEG images recorded simultaneously will be stored in the same folder as two types of data (RAW and JPEG) bearing the same le No. With JPEG images, direct printing and print ordering are possible.

About the RAW Format

The RAW format assumes that the image will undergo post-processing with a personal computer. Special knowledge is required, but you can use the bundled software to obtain the desired effect. <1> images are processed according to the white balance, color space, and processing parameters set at the time of shooting. Image processing refers to adjusting the RAW images white balance, contrast, etc., to create the nal image. Note that direct printing and print ordering (DPOF) will not work with RAW images.

Possible Shots 27

The number of possible shots applies to a 256MB CF card. The single image size, number of possible shots, and maximum burst during continuous shooting (p.48) are based on Canons testing standards (ISO 100 with [Parameter 1] set). The actual single image size, number of possible shots, and maximum burst will vary depending on the subject, shooting mode, ISO speed, parameters, etc. In the case of monochrome images (p.59), the le size will be smaller so the number of possible shots will be higher. On the top LCD panel, you can check the remaining number of images the CF card can record. A different image-recording quality can be set separately for the Basic Zone modes and Creative Zone modes.

White balance bracketing will not work if the image-recording quality is set to RAW or RAW+JPEG. With white balance bracketing, the maximum burst will be 6 shots. When white balance bracketing is set, the white balance icon will blink on the LCD panel and the remaining shots will decrease to about 1/3. Since three images are recorded for one shot, the CF card will take longer to record the shot. You can also set white balance correction and AEB shooting in combination with white balance bracketing. If you set AEB in combination with white balance bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded for a single shot. BKT stands for bracketing.
3 Setting the Color SpaceN
The color space refers to the range of reproducible colors. With this camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or Adobe RGB. For normal images, sRGB is recommended. In the Basic Zone modes, sRGB will be set automatically.

Select [Color space].

Turn the <5> dial to select [z Color space], then press <0>.
the desired color space. 2 SetTurn the <5> dial to select [sRGB]
or [Adobe RGB], then press <0>.

About Adobe RGB

This is mainly used for commercial printing and other industrial uses. This setting is not recommended if you do not know about image processing, Adobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21). Since the image will look very subdued with sRGB personal computers and printers not compatible with Design rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21), post-processing of the image with software will be required.
If the image is captured with the color space set to Adobe RGB, the le name will start with _MG_ (rst character is an underscore). The ICC prole is not appended. The ICC prole is described in the EOS 20D Software Instruction Manual.
3 Selecting the Processing ParametersN
The image you capture can be processed to look more vivid and sharp or more subdued. The processing parameters can be set according to the preset Parameter 1 or Parameter 2 or to Set 1, 2, or 3 that you can set yourself. Monochrome can also be set. In the Basic Zone modes, Parameter 1 will be set automatically.
