Attaching a lens filter to the camera protects the lens and allows you

to shoot with various effects. To attach a lens filter, you will need Filter

Adapter FA-DC67B, which is included with Lens Hood LH-DC100 (sold

separately).

1

Attach the filter adapter.

z

Make sure the camera is off.

z

Align the notches on the camera and the

filter adapter and turn the adapter in the

direction of the arrow until locked.

z

To remove the filter adapter, turn it in the

opposite direction.

2

Attach a filter.

z

Turn the filter in the direction of the arrow

to attach it to the camera.

z

Make sure not to attach the filter too

tightly. Doing so could prevent removal of

the filter and damage the camera.

We recommend the use of genuine Canon filters (67 mm dia.).

When not using auto focus to shoot, set the manual focus option
[Safety MF] to [On].

If you use the built-in flash with the filter adapter attached,
portions of the image may appear darker.

When using the filter adapter, be sure to use only one filter at a
time. Attaching multiple filters, or accessories such as a heavy
lens, may cause the attachments to fall off and become damaged.

Do not grip the filter adapter tightly.

Remove the filter adapter when not using a filter or a hood.

5

Close the cover.

z

Lower the cover (1) and hold it down as

you slide the switch, until it clicks into the

closed position (2).

6

Connect the power cord.

z

Insert one end of the power cord into the

compact power adapter, and then plug

the other end into a power outlet.

z

Turn the camera on and use it as desired.

z

When finished, turn the camera off and

unplug the power cord from the outlet.

Do not disconnect the adapter or unplug the power cord while
the camera is still on. This may erase your shots or damage the
camera.

Do not attach the adapter or adapter cord to other objects. Doing
so could result in malfunction or damage to the product.
