MANUAL

English

Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.

The EOS REBEL T2 (DATE) / 300X (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 user-

controlled shooting modes.

Read this Instruction manual and familiarize yourself with your new

camera before taking pictures.

Also read “Handling Cautions” on page 4 to prevent camera

malfunction and damage.

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

Service Center.

•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.

•If the camera has not been used for a prolonged period or if you

will use the camera for an important event, check the operation of

all the camera controls or take the camera to your nearest Canon

Service Center.

LCD Displays

By their nature, LCD displays react more slowly at low

temperatures, and may appear dark at high temperatures. The

display will return to normal at room temperature.

Batteries

•Before installing the batteries, wipe the battery contacts to remove

any fingerprints and smudges. This is to prevent faulty connections

and corrosion.

•Never disassemble or recharge the batteries. Also, never store a

battery in high-temperature places or short circuit the battery

contacts or toss a battery into a fire.

•Although the batteries work well even at low temperatures, battery

performance may decline slightly at freezing temperatures. In such

a case, keep spare batteries warm in a pocket, etc., and use and

warm the batteries alternately.

How Low Battery Levels Affect Camera Operation

On the LCD panel, if the <π> icon blinks or it is not displayed, a

proper exposure can still be obtained as long as the shutter

releases. However, when the battery level is low, film advance and

auto rewind might stop midway or not work at all and <π> icon may

blink on the LCD panel. After the batteries are replaced with new

ones, film advance will be possible and film rewind can resume by

pressing the <¢> button.

Lens Electrical Contacts

After detaching the lens from the camera, put

on the lens caps or put down the lens with

the rear end up to avoid scratching the lens

surface and electrical contacts.
