INSTRUCTION
MANUAL
Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.
The EOS 1000D is a digital single-lens reflex camera with a 10.10-
megapixel image sensor. The camera provides many features such as
high-speed, 7-point autofocus to quickly focus moving subjects, Picture
Styles to expand your photographic expression, diverse shooting
modes from Full Auto to Creative modes, and Live View shooting.
It also incorporates the EOS Integrated Cleaning System to eliminate
dust spots on images and the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit to shake off
dust on the sensor.
Take a Few Test Shots to Familiarize Yourself with the
Camera
With a digital camera, you can immediately view the image you have
captured. While reading this manual, take a few test shots and see how
they come out. You can then better understand the camera.
To avoid botched pictures and accidents, read the Safety Warnings
(p.186,187) and Handling Precautions (p.12,13).
Test the Camera Before Using and Liability
After shooting, playback and check whether the image has been
properly recorded. If the camera or memory card is faulty and the
images cannot be recorded or downloaded to the personal computer,
Canon cannot be held liable for any loss or inconvenience caused.
Copyrights
Copyright laws in your country may prohibit the use of your recorded
images of people and certain subjects for anything but private
enjoyment. Also be aware that certain public performances, exhibitions,
etc., may prohibit photography even for private enjoyment.
This camera is compatible with SD memory cards and SDHC
memory cards. This manual will refer to all these cards as just “card.”
* The camera does not come with a card (for recording images).
Please purchase it separately.
