Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get started, insert a charged LP-E17 battery and a compatible SD card into the base compartment. The camera is compatible with the Canon RF lens mount; the included RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM lens covers a wide variety of focal lengths out of the box. Charge the battery via the included charger or use the USB-C port for convenient on-the-go power. Keep the sensor clean by utilizing the internal ultrasonic cleaning system, and always replace the body cap when no lens is attached to prevent dust from reaching the sensor. Ensure firmware is updated periodically through the Canon camera app to maintain compatibility with the latest features.
