Handling Precautions

Test Shots Before you try to photograph important subjects, we highly recommend that you shoot several trial images to confirm that the camera is operating and being operated correctly. Please note that Canon Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliates, and its distributors are not liable for any consequential damages arising from any malfunction of a camera or accessory, including memory cards, that results in the failure of an image to be recorded or to be recorded in a way that is machine readable. Warning Against Copyright Infringement Please note that Canon digital cameras are intended for personal use and should never be used in a manner that infringes upon or contravenes international or domestic copyright laws and regulations. Please be advised that in certain cases the copying of images from performances, exhibitions, or commercial properties by means of a camera or other device may contravene copyright or other legal rights even if the image was shot for personal use. Warranty Limitations This cameras warranty is only effective in the country of sale. If a problem arises while the camera is in use abroad, please convey it back to the country of sale before proceeding with a warranty claim to a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

Video Format Please set the camera's video signal format to the one used in your region before using it with a TV monitor (p. 100). Language Setting Please see the Basic Guide (p. 9) to change the language setting.

Before using the camera, please ensure that you read the safety precautions described below and in the "Safety Precautions" section of the Basic Camera User Guide. Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly. The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to instruct you in the safe and correct operation of the camera and its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to yourself, other persons and equipment. Be sure you fully understand them before reading the rest of the manual. Equipment refers to the camera, battery charger or separately sold compact power adapter. Battery refers to the battery pack.

Camera Body Temperature If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become warm. Please be aware of this and take care when operating the camera for an extended period. About the LCD Monitor The LCD monitor is produced with extremely high-precision manufacturing techniques. More than 99.99% of the pixels operate to specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as red or black dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.

Safety Precautions

7

Warnings

Equipment Do not point the camera directly at the sun or bright light sources.

Doing so could damage the camera's CCD or your eyesight. Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants.

Wrist strap: Placement of the strap around the child's neck could result in asphyxiation.

Memory card: Dangerous if accidentally swallowed. If this occurs, contact a doctor immediately. Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is not expressly described in this guide. To avoid the risk of high-voltage electrical shock, do not touch the flash portion of the camera if it has been damaged. Stop operating the equipment immediately if it emits smoke or noxious fumes. Do not allow the equipment to come into contact with, or become immersed in, water or other liquids. If the exterior comes into contact with liquids or salt air, wipe it dry with a soft, absorbent cloth.

Continued use of the equipment may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately turn the camera power off and remove the camera battery or unplug the battery charger or compact power adapter from the power outlet. Please consult your camera distributor or the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzine, thinners or other flammable substances to clean or maintain the equipment. Do not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power cord. Use only recommended power accessories. Remove the power cord on a regular periodic basis and wipe away the dust and dirt that collects on the plug, the exterior of the power outlet and the surrounding area. Do not handle the power cord if your hands are wet.

Continued use of the equipment may result in fire or electrical shock.

8

Battery Do not place the battery near a heat source or expose it to direct flame or heat. The battery should not be immersed in water or sea water. Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the battery. Avoid dropping or subjecting the battery to severe impacts that could damage the casing. Use only recommended battery and accessories.

Use of battery not expressly recommended for this equipment may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the surroundings. In the event that a battery leaks and the eyes, mouth, skin or clothing contact these substances, immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance.

Disconnect the battery charger and compact power adapter from both the camera and the power outlet after recharging or when they are not in use to avoid fire and other hazards. Do not place anything, such as tablecloths, carpets, bedding or cushions, on top of the battery charger while it is charging.

Leaving the units plugged in for a long period of time may cause them to overheat and distort, resulting in fire.

Use only the specified battery charger to charge the battery. The battery charger and compact power adapter are designed for exclusive use with your camera. Do not use it with other products or batteries.

There is a risk of overheating and distortion which could result in fire or electrical shock.

Before you discard a battery, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators to prevent direct contact with other objects.

Contact with the metallic components of other materials in waste containers may lead to fire or explosions.

9

Others Do not trigger the flash in close proximity to human or animal eyes. Exposure to the intense light produced by the flash may damage eyesight.

In particular, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away from infants when using the flash.

Keep objects that are sensitive to magnetic fields (such as credit cards) away from the speaker of the camera.

Such items may lose data or stop working.

Cautions

Equipment Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong impacts or shocks that could lead to injury or damage the equipment when wearing or holding it by the strap. Do not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas. Do not allow metal objects (such as pins or keys) or dirt to contact the charger terminals or plug.

Such conditions could lead to fire, electrical shock or other damage.

Avoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places subject to strong sunlight or high temperatures, such as the dashboard or trunk (boot) of a car. Do not use the equipment in a manner that exceeds the rated capacity of the electrical outlet or wiring accessories. Do not use if the power cord or plug are damaged, or if not fully plugged into the outlet. Do not use in locations with poor ventilation.

The above-mentioned can cause leakage, overheating or explosion, resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing.

When not using the camera for extended periods of time, remove the battery from the camera or battery charger and store the equipment in a safe place.

The battery can run down.

10

Equipment Do not connect compact power adapters or battery chargers to devices such as electrical transformers for foreign travel because it may lead to malfunctions, excessive heat generation, fire, electric shock or injury.

Flash Do not operate the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to the surface of the flash. Be careful not to cover the flash with your fingers or clothing when shooting.

The flash may be damaged and emit smoke or noise. The resulting heat build-up could damage the flash.

Do not touch the surface of the flash after taking several pictures in rapid succession.

Doing so could result in burns.

11

Preventing Malfunctions

Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields.

Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.

Avoid Condensation Related Problems When moving the equipment rapidly from a cold place to a hot place, you can avoid condensation by placing the equipment in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.

Moving the equipment rapidly from a cold place to a hot place may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces.

If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera Stop using the camera immediately.

Continued use may damage the equipment. Remove the memory card and battery or compact power adapter from the camera and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.

The autofocus frame (AF frame) indicates the area used to set the focus. Select from among the following three focusing methods.

Switching between Focusing Modes

Face Detect

You can have the camera automatically detect the position of a face and use this data to set the focus and exposure* while shooting. In addition, the camera will meter the subject so that the face is correctly illuminated when the flash fires. If a face is not detected, shooting will take place with [On]. *Only in evaluative metering mode (p. 51).

(No frame) On The camera detects the subject and highlights the AF frames, from 9 available points, that it will use to determine the focus.

Off The camera focuses using the center AF frame. This is convenient for focusing on a specific part of a subject with greater certainty.

1 (Rec.) Menu [AiAF] [Face Detect]*/[On]/[Off].

See Menus and Settings (p. 23). *Default setting.

[Face Detect] cannot be used when the LCD monitor is turned off.

The AF frame appears as follows (when the LCD monitor is on) when the shutter button is pressed halfway. - Green: Shooting preparations complete - Yellow: Focusing difficulty (AiAF set to [Off]) - No Display: Focusing difficulty (AiAF set to [On])

Shooting

47

The following occurs when [Face Detect] is selected. - The camera displays up to three frames where it has

detected a face. At this point, the frame the camera judges to be the main subject appears in white while the others appear in gray. Pressing the shutter button halfway displays up to 9 green AF frames.

- If no white frame displays and all the frames appear in gray, images will be shot using the [On] option rather than [Face Detect].

- The camera may mistakenly identify non-human subjects as a face. If this occurs, switch to the [On] or [Off] option.

- In certain cases, faces may not be detected. Examples: Faces near the screen edges or faces that appear

extremely small, large, dark or bright in relation to the overall image.

Faces turned to the side or at a diagonal, or faces with a portion hidden.

48

It may be difficult to focus on the following types of subjects. Subjects with extremely low contrast to the surroundings Scenes with a mixture of near and far subjects. Subjects with extremely bright objects at the center of the composition Subjects that are moving quickly Subjects through glass: Try to shoot as close to the glass as possible to reduce the chances of light reflecting back off the glass.

Shooting with the Focus Lock The focus lock can be used in any shooting mode.

Shooting with the AF Lock The AF lock can be used in the , , , , or mode.

Shooting Hard-to-Focus Subjects (Focus Lock, AF Lock)

You can set the exposure and focus separately. This is effective when the contrast is too strong between the subject and background or when a subject is backlit.

To Release the AE Lock Press the button.

4 Re-aim the camera to compose the shot as desired and shoot.

When shooting with the focus lock or AF lock using the LCD monitor, setting [AiAF] to [Off] (p. 46) makes shooting easier since the camera focuses using the center AF frame only. The AF lock is convenient because you can let go of the shutter button to compose the image. Moreover, the AF lock is still effective after the picture is taken, allowing you to capture a second image with the same focus. In mode the AF frame does not display.

Locking the Exposure Setting (AE Lock)

Use the or button to select the metering mode and press the FUNC./SET button.

Evaluative

Appropriate for standard shooting conditions, including backlit scenes. The camera divides images into several zones for metering. It evaluates complex lighting conditions, such as the position of the subject, the brightness, the direct light, and the backlighting, and adjusts the settings to the correct exposure for the main subject.

Center Weighted Average

Averages the light metered from the entire frame, but gives greater weight to the subject matter at the center.

Spot Meters the area within the spot AE point at the center of the LCD monitor. Use this setting when you want to set the exposure on the subject in the center of the monitor.

The metering method is fixed to [Evaluative] in the Long Shutter mode (p. 53).

52

Adjust the exposure compensation to a positive value to avoid making the subject too dark when it is backlit or shot against a bright background. Adjust the exposure compensation to a negative value to avoid making the subject too bright in night shots or when shot against a dark background.

The higher the value, the brighter the image and the lower the value, the darker the image. If you press the MENU button at this point, you will return to the Exposure Compensation setting screen.

The setting cancels when the camera's power is turned off. The nature of CCD image sensors is such that noise in the recorded image increases at long shutter speeds. This camera, however, applies special processing to images shot at shutter speeds slower than 1.3 seconds to eliminate the noise, thereby producing high-quality images. A certain amount of processing time, however, may be required before the next image can be shot.

54

Use the LCD monitor to confirm that the image was recorded at the desired brightness. Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at low shutter speeds. Shoot with the camera attached to a tripod. Use of the flash may result in an over-exposed image. If this occurs, shoot with the flash set to .

Using the Custom White Balance You can set a custom white balance to obtain the optimal setting for the shooting conditions by having the camera evaluate an object, such as a piece of white paper or cloth, or a photo-quality gray card that you wish to establish as the standard white color. In particular, take a custom white balance reading for the following situations that are difficult for the (Auto) setting to detect correctly.

You are recommended to set the shooting mode to and the exposure compensation setting to [0]

before setting a custom white balance. The correct white balance may not be obtained when the exposure setting is incorrect (image appears completely black or white). Shoot with the same settings as when reading the white balance data. If the settings differ, the optimal white balance may not be set. In particular, the following should not be changed. - ISO Speed - Flash

Setting the flash to on or off is recommended. If the flash fires when reading the white balance data with the flash set to (Auto), make sure that you also use the flash when you shoot.

Since the white balance data cannot be read in Stitch Assist mode, preset the white balance in another shooting mode beforehand. If you register the (Custom White Balance) function with the button (p. 67), obtain the white balance data each time you press the button.

Your camera is equipped with an Intelligent Orientation sensor that detects the orientation of an image shot with the camera held vertically and automatically rotates it to the correct orientation when viewing it in the LCD monitor.

Setting the Auto Rotate Function

1 (Set up) Menu [Auto Rotate] [On]*/ [Off].

See Menus and Settings (p. 23). *Default setting.

When shooting and the Auto Rotate function is set to [On] and the LCD monitor is set to the detailed display mode, (normal), (right end is down) or (left end is down) will appear in the display.

This function may not operate correctly when the camera is pointed straight up or down. Check that the arrow is pointing in the right direction and if it is not, then set the Auto Rotate function to [Off]. Even if the Auto Rotate function is set to [On], the orientation of images downloaded to a computer will depend upon the software used to download the images.

When the camera is held vertically to shoot, the Intelligent Orientation sensor judges the upper end to be "up" and the lower end to be "down". It then regulates the optimal white balance, exposure and focus for vertical photography. This function operates regardless of the on/off status of the Auto Rotate function.

White dots appear on the image. Light from the flash has reflected off dust particles or insects in the air. This is particularly noticeable when shooting using the wide angle.

This is a phenomenon that occurs with digital cameras and does not constitute a malfunction.

Eyes appear red. Light is reflected back from the eyes when the flash is used in dark areas.

Set the [Red-Eye] function to [On] and shoot (p. 35). For this mode to be effective, the subject must be looking right at the red-eye reduction lamp. Try asking them to look directly at the lamp. Even better results can be obtained by increasing the lighting in indoor settings or approaching closer to the subject. The shutter will not activate for approximately 1 second after the red-eye reduction lamp fires in order to improve the effect. You can correct red eyes in images using the Red-Eye Correction function (p. 85).

Continuous shooting slows down. The memory card's performance has dropped.

To enhance the continuous shooting performance, you are recommended to format (Low Level Format) the memory card in the camera after you save all its images to your computer (p. 29).

Battery Handling

Battery Charge The following icon and message will display.

Battery Handling Precautions Keep the battery terminals clean at all times. Dirty terminals may cause poor contact between the battery and camera. Polish the terminals with a soft cotton swab before charging or using the battery. At low temperatures, battery performance may be reduced and the low battery icon ( ) may appear earlier than usual. Under these conditions, revive the battery by warming it in a pocket immediately before use. However, ensure that there are no metallic items in the pocket that could cause a short circuit, such as a key ring, etc. The battery may be short circuiting. Do not allow any metal objects such as key rings to touch the ( ) and ( ) terminals (Fig. A). To carry the battery or store it during periods of disuse, always replace the terminal cover (Fig. B). These conditions can damage the battery.

Battery charge is low. Recharge it as soon as possible if it will be used for an extended period.

Change the battery pack

Battery charge is insufficient to operate the camera. Replace the battery immediately.

You may be able to check the charge state depending upon how the terminal cover is attached (Fig. C, D).

You are recommended to use it in the camera until it is completely discharged and to store it in an indoor location with low relative humidity and between the temperatures of 0 30 C (32 86 F). Storing a fully charged battery for long periods of time (about one year) may shorten its life cycle or affect its performance. If you do not use the battery for long periods of time, charge it fully and discharge it fully in the camera about once a year before returning it to storage.

Charging the Battery Since this is a lithium-ion battery, you need not completely discharge it before recharging. It takes approximately 1 hour 30 minutes to fully charge the battery from a depleted state (based on Canons testing standards). Charging it within a temperature range of 5 40 C (41 104

F) is recommended. Charge times may vary according to the ambient temperature

and the battery's charge state. You are advised to charge the battery on the day of use, or one day before, to ensure a full charge. Even charged batteries continue to discharge naturally. If the performance of the battery diminishes substantially even when it is fully charged, its life has been exceeded and it should be replaced.

Handling the Memory Card

SD Memory Card and SDHC Memory Card Write Protect Tab

Cautions When Handling Memory cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend them, apply force to them, or subject them to shocks or vibration. Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the memory card. Do not allow dirt, water or foreign objects to contact the terminals on the back of the card. Do not touch the terminals with your hands or metal objects. Do not peel away the original label on the memory card or cover it with another label or sticker. When writing on the memory card, do not use a pencil or ball-point pen. Only use a soft point pen (e.g. felt-tip pen). Do not use or store memory cards in the following locations. Locations subject to dust or sand Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures Since some or all of the data recorded on the memory card may be corrupted or erased by electrical noise, static electricity, or camera or card malfunction, making a backup copy of important data is recommended.

Slide the switch up.

Slide the switch down (you can protect the images and other data on the card)

129

Formatting Please note that formatting (initializing) an memory card erases all data, including protected images. You are recommended to use memory cards that have been formatted in your camera. The card supplied with the camera may be used without further

formatting. When the camera is malfunctioning, a corrupted memory card

might be the cause. Reformatting the memory card may solve the problem.

When a non-Canon brand memory card is malfunctioning, reformatting it may solve the problem.

Memory cards formatted in other cameras, computers, or peripheral devices may not operate correctly in this camera. When that happens, reformat the memory card with this camera.

If formatting in the camera does not work properly, turn the camera off and re-insert the memory card. Then turn the camera back on and format again. Data on a card is not completely erased even when the card is formatted or images are erased because these processes merely change the file management data. Please note this fact when transferring ownership or disposing of cards. Take care to destroy the card when disposing of it to prevent the leakage of personal data.

130

It is best to power the camera with AC Adapter Kit ACK-DC10 (sold separately) when you are using it for long periods of time or connecting it to a computer.

Using an AC Adapter Kit (Sold Separately)

Turn the camera power off before connecting or disconnecting the AC adapter.

1 Connect the power cord to the compact power adapter first and then plug the other end into the power outlet.

2 Open the memory card slot/battery cover, push the battery lock in the direction of the arrow and insert the DC coupler until it locks.

Slide the memory card slot/battery cover closed.

3 Open the DC coupler termi- nal cover and attach the cord to the DC terminal.

High-Power Flash HF-DC1 This flash is used to supplement the camera's built-in flash when the subject is too far away for proper illumination. Use the following procedures to affix the camera and High-Power Flash to the supporting bracket. Please read the instructions accompanying the flash along with this explanation.

Using an Externally Mounted Flash (Sold Separately)

The flash charge time will lengthen as the battery charge gets weaker. Always set the power/mode switch to [OFF] when you finish using the flash. Be careful not to touch the flash window or sensor windows with your fingers while the flash is in use. The flash may fire if another flash is being used in close proximity. The High-Power Flash may not fire outdoors in daylight or when there are no reflective items. For continuous shooting, although the flash fires for the first shot, it does not fire for subsequent shots. Fasten the attachment screws securely so that they do not loosen. Failure to do so may lead to the dropping of the camera and flash resulting in damage to both.

Tripod Sockets

Bracket (Comes with the flash)

132

Batteries Charge becomes Severely Limited If the battery usage time has considerably diminished, wipe the battery terminals well with a dry cloth. The terminals may be dirty from fingerprints. Usage in Cold Temperatures Get a spare generic lithium battery (CR123A or DL123). You are recommended to place the spare battery in your pocket to warm it up before switching it for the battery in the flash. Non-Use over Extended Periods Leaving batteries in the High-Power Flash could allow the battery fluid to leak, damaging the product. Remove the batteries from the High-Power Flash and store them in a cool, dry place.

Before attaching the bracket to the flash, check that the lithium battery (CR123A or DL123) is installed. To illuminate the subjects properly, install the flash so that it is up against the side of the camera and parallel with the cameras front panel. A tripod can be used even when the flash is attached.
