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.

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.
