Basic Assumptions All operations explained in this manual assume that the power switch is already set to .

It is assumed that all the menu settings and Custom Functions are set to the default.

For explanatory purposes, the instructions show the camera attached with an EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens.

Conventions Used in this Manual 5 For first-time users, chapters 1 and 2 explain the camera’s basic operations and shooting procedures.

2 Getting Started 23 Basic Shooting and Image Playback Fully automatic shooting for different subjects.

43 Advanced Shooting Techniques Basic shooting features for specific types of subjects.

If you accidentally drop the camera into water, promptly consult your nearest Canon EOS 450D Service Center.

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 field 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 fields can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data.

Do not leave the camera in excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight.

Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, reflex 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 the nearest Canon EOS 450D Service Center.

Do not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your fingers.

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, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.

If there is condensation, remove the lens, 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 EOS 450D dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.

Handling Precautions 13 Handling Precautions LCD Monitor Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision technology with over 99.99% effective 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.

If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur where you see remnants of what was displayed.

However, this is only temporarily and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days.

Do not store or use the card near anything having a strong magnetic field such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet.

Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source.

Always store your cards in a case to protect the data stored on them.

Do not bend the card or subject it to any excessive force or physical shock.

Lens Electrical Contacts After detaching the lens from the camera, attach the lens caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.

Cautions During Prolonged Use When you shoot continuously for a prolonged period or use Live View shooting for a long period, the camera may become hot.

Although this is not a malfunction, holding the hot camera for a long period can cause slight skin burns.

(p.33) When attaching an EF-S lens, align it with the white index on the camera.

(p.31) With the card’s label facing you, insert it into the slot.

(p.27) When the LCD monitor displays the Date/Time setting screen, see page 29.

For LC-E5 As shown by the arrow, flip out the battery charger’s prongs and insert the prongs into a power outlet.

For LC-E5E Connect the power cord to the charger and insert the plug into the power outlet.

Recharging starts automatically and the charge lamp turns orange.

When the battery is fully recharged, the charge lamp will turn green.

It takes about 2 hours to fully recharge a completely exhausted battery.

The time required to recharge the battery depends on the ambient temperature and battery’s charge level.

Recharging the Battery LC-E5 LC-E5E 25 Recharging the Battery Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be used.

Even during non-use or storage, a charged battery will gradually discharge and lose its power.

After recharging the battery, detach it and unplug the charger from the power outlet.

If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small amount of power current is released, resulting in excess discharge and shorter battery life.

Storing the battery after it is fully charged can lower the battery’s performance.

The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/ 60 Hz power source.

If necessary, attach a commercially-available plug adapter for the respective country.

Do not attach any portable voltage transformer to the battery charger.

If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully charged, the battery has worn out.

Tips for Using the Battery and Charger Do not charge any battery other than Battery Pack LP-E5.

Using it with an incompatible battery charger or product may result in malfunction or accidents for which Canon EOS 450D cannot be held liable.

Press the battery lock lever as shown by the arrow and remove the battery.

To prevent shorting, be sure to attach the protective cover to the battery.

Installing and Removing the Battery Installing the Battery Removing the Battery Do not further push open the battery compartment cover when it is already open.
