Getting Acquainted with Your Camera

This hands-on learning approach allows the user to explore the camera’s features and understand how to achieve the desired results. The immediate feedback available from digital photography aids in this familiarization process.

The user manual includes a section offering comprehensive safety warnings on page 305 and 306 and handling precautions on pages 12 and 13. Adhering to these guidelines helps prevent accidental damage to the camera and possible injury to the user.
Testing the Camera and Liability
Prior to extensive use, it is advisable to test the camera functionality, particularly the recording and playback of images. Users should verify that the images captured are being correctly recorded by the camera. This step is crucial because Canon is not liable for any loss or inconvenience stemming from a malfunctioning camera or memory card that prevents image recording or transfer to other devices.
Copyright Notices and Image Use
The manual includes an advisory regarding copyright laws, which may affect how users can employ their recorded images. Some jurisdictions place limitations on the use of personal images and on photography in certain public settings. The user needs to stay informed about these restrictions to ensure compliance with the law.
Memory Card Compatibility
The Canon EOS 60D is compatible with a range of memory cards, including SD, SDHC, and SDXC formats. The manual refers to all aforementioned card types as “card” for simplicity. It’s important to note that the camera does not include a memory card for image storage, which must be purchased separately by the user.
