INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.
The EOS REBEL K2 (DATE) / 3000V (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 usercontrolled 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
The camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical shock. The camera is not waterproof and should not be used in wet conditions or underwater. If the camera gets wet, take it to your nearest Canon dealer as soon as possible. If small amounts of water splash onto the camera, wipe it with a clean dry cloth. If the camera is exposed to salty air, wipe it thoroughly with a slightly damp cloth. 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. The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to disassemble the camera. Use only a blower brush to blow away any dust on the lens, eyepiece, mirror, focusing screen, film compartment, etc. Do not clean the camera body or lens with any cleaner containing an organic solvent. For stubborn dirt, consult your nearest Canon dealer. 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. Do not touch the electrical contacts with your fingers. Otherwise corrosion may develop on the contacts, resulting in improper camera operation. 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. Avoid storing the camera in a laboratory, cabinet, etc., where corrosive chemicals are present.

How the Shutter Button Works
The shutter button has two stages. You can press it down halfway or fully. The two levels of shutter button operation are as follows:
When it is pressed halfway:
Pressing the shutter button down
halfway activates autofocusing (AF), and also activates the automatic exposure (AE) mechanism and sets the shutter speed and aperture value. The exposure (the combination of shutter speed and aperture value) appears on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder ().
When it is pressed fully:
The shutter is released to take the
picture and the film advances by one frame.
If an Extender (optional) is used and the maximum aperture (the lowest f/number) of the lens becomes smaller than f/5.6, autofocusing will not operate. Camera movement during the moment of exposure is called camera shake. Camera shake can cause blurred pictures. To prevent blurred pictures due to camera shake: Hold the camera steady. Firmly grasp the camera grip with your right hand, and press your both elbows lightly against your body. Hold the lens at the bottom with your left hand. Press the camera against your face and look through the viewfinder. To maintain a stable stance, place one foot in front of the other instead of lining up both feet. Use your finger tip to touch the shutter button, grasp the camera with your entire right hand, then press the shutter button gently.

=Loading and Unloading Film

Loading Film

After you load the film, the camera first winds the entire roll onto the cameras take-up spool. With DX-coded film, the camera automatically sets the films ISO speed. Then each time a picture is taken, one frame of film is rewound back into the film cartridge. The frame counter shows always number of shots remaining.

The shutter curtains have been manufactured with very high precision. Never touch them with your fingers. When loading film, do not touch or damage the curtains with your fingers or film. In hot and humid environments, do not remove the film packaging until you are ready to load the film. Infrared film cannot be used with this camera. If the film is not loaded properly, the <=> icon will blink on the LCD panel and the shutter will not work. Reload the film cartridge properly.

Unloading Film

After the films last frame is exposed, the camera rewinds the film automatically. After the film is rewound, there will be a shutter-release sound. Check that the <=> icon is blinking on the LCD panel, then open the back cover and take out the film cartridge.

Midroll Rewind

To rewind the film in midroll, follow the procedure below.
Press the <> button.

Using the Eyepiece Cover

During self-timer or remote control operation when your eye does not cover the viewfinder eyepiece, stray light may enter the eyepiece and affect the exposure when the picture is taken. To prevent this, use the eyepiece cover to cover the eyepiece. (p.7)

If focus has not been achieved, the focus confirmation light <n> in the viewfinder will blink. In this case, you cannot take a picture even when you press the shutter button fully. Recompose the shot and focus again or see When Autofocus Fails (p.30). If you use an external, EOS-dedicated Speedlite and focus cannot be achieved with the AF-assist light, select the center AF point. Focus lock also works in the Basic Zone modes (except <P>). Just start from step 3 above.
When Autofocus Fails (Manual Focusing)
Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (the focus confirmation light <n> blinks) with certain subjects such as the following:
Difficult Subjects for Autofocusing
Low-contrast subjects. Example: Blue sky, flat surface with a solid color. Subjects in very low light. Extremely backlit or reflective subjects. Example: Automobile with a strong reflection. Overlapping near and far objects. Example: Animal behind bars in a cage. In such cases, do one of the following: (1) Focus lock an object at the same distance as the subject and recompose. (2) Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually.

If you hold down the shutter button halfway while focusing manually, the active AF point mark and the focus confirmation light <n> will light when focus is achieved.

About Program Shift

In the Program AE mode, you can freely change the shutter speed and aperture value combination (program) set by the camera while retaining the same exposure. This is called program shift. To shift the program, press the shutter button halfway and turn the <l> dial until the desired shutter speed or aperture value is displayed. Program shift is canceled automatically after the picture is taken. Program shift cannot be set when the built-in flash is used.

R Shutter-Priority AE

In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture value automatically to suit the subject brightness. A fast shutter speed can freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject and a slow shutter speed can blur the subject to give the impression of motion.

E Aperture-Priority AE

In this mode, you set the desired aperture value and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the subject brightness. The larger or brighter the aperture value (lower f/number) the more blurred the background will become. This effect is ideal for portraits. The smaller or darker the aperture value (higher f/number), the clearer the focus will be for both near and far objects (wider depth of field).

W Manual Exposure

In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture value as desired. To determine the exposure, refer to the exposure level indicator in the viewfinder or use a handheld exposure meter. This method is called manual exposure. In the <W> mode, the center-weighted average metering will be set automatically.

Q Automatic Depth-of-Field AE
This mode is for obtaining a wide depth of field automatically between a near subject and far subject. It is effective for group photos and landscapes. The camera uses the 7 AF points to detect the nearest and farthest subjects to be in focus.

The <Q> mode cannot be used if the lens focus mode switch is set to <MF>. If the aperture value blinks, it indicates that the exposure level is correct but the desired depth of field cannot be achieved. Either use a wide-angle lens or move further away from the subjects. In this shooting mode, you cannot freely change the shutter speed and aperture value. If the camera sets a slow shutter speed, hold the camera steady or use a tripod. If flash is used, the result will be the same as using flash in the <T> mode.

Exposure Compensation

Exposure compensation is used to alter the cameras standard exposure setting. You can make the picture look lighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). The exposure compensation amount can be set up to +/2 stops in half-stop increments.

three bracketed shots will be exposed in the following sequence: standard exposure, decreased exposure, and increased exposure. s As shown on the left, the respective bracketing amount will be displayed as each bracketed shot is taken. The picture will be taken in the current film advance mode. After the three AEB shots are taken, the AEB will not be canceled automatically. To cancel AEB, set the AEB amount back to .
During AEB shooting, the <>> arrow will appear next to the <L> icon and the AEB level <> will be displayed. In the viewfinder, the <j> icon will blink. In the <H> film advance mode, the camera stops shooting automatically after taking the three AEB shots. In the <J> (single frame) mode, press the shutter button completely three times to take the three AEB shots. If you use the self-timer or remote control, the three AEB shots will be taken continuously automatically. AEB can be combined with exposure compensation. AEB cannot be used with flash or bulb exposures.

jAE Lock

AE lock enables you to lock the exposure at a different place from the point of focus. After locking the exposure, you can recompose the shot while maintaining the desired exposure level.

Using the Built-in Flash

In a Basic Zone Mode
In low-light or backlit conditions, the built-in flash will pop up and fire automatically (except in <I> <P> <S> modes).

In a Creative Zone Mode

Press the <M> button to pop up the built-in flash. T : Use this mode for automatic flash photography. The flash sync speed (1/90 sec.) and aperture value will be set automatically as with the <Y> (Full Auto) mode. R : Use this mode if you want to set the flash sync speed manually (within 30 sec. - 1/90 sec.). The camera will set the flash aperture value automatically to obtain a correct flash exposure. E : Use this mode if you want to set the flash aperture value. The camera will set the flash sync speed (within 30 sec. 1/90 sec.) automatically to obtain the best exposure for the aperture you set. For portraits with a night scene or dark background, a slow sync speed will be set to obtain a proper exposure for both the subject and background. The flash illuminates the subject, while the background is properly exposed with a slow shutter speed. Because automatic slow-sync shooting uses a slow shutter speed, always use a tripod. W : You can manually set both the flash sync speed (within Bulb - 1/90 sec.) and aperture value. The subject is properly exposed with the flash and the background is exposed with the flash sync speed and aperture value you have set. Q : The result will be the same as using the <T> mode.

When using the built-in flash, stay at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away from the subject. Otherwise, part of the photo will look dark. When using the built-in flash, detach any hood attached to the lens. A lens hood will partially obstruct the flash coverage. When a super telephoto lens or a fast, large-aperture lens is attached, the built-in flash coverage might be obstructed. The built-in flashs flash coverage is 28mm lens angle. If you use a flash unit (with multiple contacts) dedicated to another camera brand or a high-voltage flash, the camera may not work properly or malfunction may result. To retract the built-in flash, push it down. If more light is required, use an external, EOS-dedicated Speedlite (optional).
