Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, insert the charged `LP-E8` lithium-ion battery into the compartment and format your SD card using the in-camera menu. When mounting the lens, align the white squares on the lens and camera body, then rotate until it clicks.
Compatibility: This camera uses the Canon EF/EF-S mount, meaning it is compatible with a massive ecosystem of Canon lenses and flashes.
Care:
- Always replace the body cap and lens cap when the camera is not in use to prevent dust from reaching the sensor.
- Use a dedicated microfiber cloth for the touchscreen to avoid smudges or scratches.
- If cleaning the sensor, ensure the battery is fully charged so the mirror does not accidentally drop mid-process.
