The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to prevent injuries to yourself and other persons, or damage to the equipment.
Be sure to also check the guides included with any separately sold accessories you use.
Warning Denotes the possibility of serious injury or death.
Do not trigger the flash in close proximity to human eyes. Exposure to the intense light produced by the flash could damage eyesight. In particular, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away from infants when using the flash.
Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. Strap: Putting the strap around a childs neck could result in asphyxiation.
Use only recommended power sources. Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the product. Avoid dropping or subjecting the product to severe impacts. To avoid the risk of injury, do not touch the interior of the product if it has been
dropped or otherwise damaged. Stop using the product immediately if it emits smoke, a strange smell, or
otherwise behaves abnormally. Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean the
equipment. Do not let the product come into contact with water (e.g. sea water) or other
liquids. Do not allow liquids or foreign objects to enter the camera. This could result in electrical shock or fire. If liquids or foreign objects come into contact with the camera interior, immediately turn the camera power off and remove the battery. If the battery charger becomes wet, unplug it from the outlet and consult your camera distributor or the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
Do not play the supplied CD-ROM(s) in any CD player that does not support data CD-ROMs.

Safety Precautions
11
Use only the recommended battery. Do not place the battery near or in direct flame. Unplug the power cord periodically and wipe away any dust and dirt that has
collected on the plug, the exterior of the power outlet, and the surrounding area. Do not handle the power cord with wet hands. 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 not fully plugged into the outlet.
Do not allow dirt or metal objects (such as pins or keys) to contact the terminals or plug.
The battery may explode or leak, resulting in electrical shock or fire. This could cause injury and damage the surroundings. In the event that a battery leaks and the battery acid contacts eyes, mouth, skin or clothing, immediately flush with water.
Caution Denotes the possibility of injury.
Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong impacts or shocks when hanging it by the strap.
Be careful not to bump or push strongly on the lens. This could lead to injury or damage the camera.
Be careful not to subject the screen to strong impacts. If the screen cracks, injury may result from the broken fragments.
When using the flash, be careful not to cover it with your fingers or clothing. This could result in burns or damage to the flash.
Avoid using, placing or storing the product in the following places. - Places subject to strong sunlight. - Places subject to temperatures above 40 C (104 F). - Humid or dusty areas.
These could cause leakage, overheating or an explosion of the battery, resulting in electrical shock, fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may cause deformation of the camera or battery charger casing.

Safety Precautions
12
Caution Denotes the possibility of damage to the equipment.
Do not aim the camera at bright light sources (the sun, etc.). Doing so may damage the image sensor.
When using the camera on a beach or at a windy location, be careful not to allow dust or sand to enter the camera.
This may cause the camera to malfunction.
In regular use, small amounts of smoke may be emitted from the flash. This is due to the high intensity of the flash burning dust and foreign materials stuck to the front of the unit. Please use a cotton swab to remove dirt, dust or other foreign matter from the flash to prevent heat build-up and damage to the unit.
Remove and store the battery when you are not using the camera. If the battery is left inside the camera, damage caused by leakage may occur.
Before you discard the battery, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators. Contacting other metal materials may lead to fire or explosions.
Unplug the battery charger from the power outlet after charging is complete, or when you are not using it.
Do not place anything, such as cloth on top of the battery charger while it is charging.
Leaving the unit plugged in for a long period of time may cause it to overheat and distort, resulting in fire.
Do not place the battery near pets. Pets biting the battery could cause leakage, overheating or explosion, resulting in fire or damage.
Do not sit down with the camera in your pocket. Doing so may cause malfunctions or damage the screen.
When putting the camera in your bag, ensure that hard objects do not come into contact with the screen.
Do not attach accessories to the strap. Doing so may cause malfunctions or damage the screen.

Approximate Number of Shots That Can Be Taken
The number of shots that can be taken is based on the Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA) measurement standard.
Under some shooting conditions, the number of shots that can be taken may be less than mentioned above.
Battery Charge Indicator An icon or message will appear on the screen indicating the batterys charge state.
Number of Shots Approx. 150
Playback Time Approx. 4 hrs. 30 min.
Display Summary Sufficient charge.
Slightly depleted, but sufficient.
(Blinking red) Nearly depleted. Charge the battery.
Change the battery pack. Depleted. Recharge the battery.
Using the battery and charger effectively
Charge the battery on the day, or the day before, it will be used. Charged batteries continue to discharge naturally even if they are not used.
How to store the battery for long periods: Deplete and remove the battery from the camera. Attach the terminal cover and store the battery. Storing a battery for long periods of time (about a year) without depleting it may shorten its life span or affect its performance.
The battery charger can also be used when abroad. The charger can be used in regions that have 100 240 V (50/60 Hz) AC power. If the plug does not fit the outlet, use a commercially available plug adapter. Do not use electrical transformers for foreign travel as they will cause damage.
The battery may develop a bulge. This is a normal characteristic of the battery and does not indicate a problem. However, if the battery bulges to the point where it will no longer fit into the camera, please contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
If the battery is quickly depleted even after charging, it has reached the end of its life span. Purchase a new battery.

Pressing the Shutter Button
24
To take images that are in focus, be sure to first press the shutter button lightly (halfway) to focus, then press fully to shoot.
Press halfway (Press lightly to focus). Press lightly until the camera beeps twice
and AF frames appear where the camera focused.
Press fully (Press fully to shoot). The camera plays the shutter sound and takes the shot.
Since the shot is being taken while the shutter sound plays, be careful not to move the camera.
Formatting or erasing data on a memory card merely changes the file management information on the card and does not ensure its contents are completely erased. Be careful when transferring or disposing of a memory card. When disposing of a memory card, take precautions such as physically destroying the card to prevent personal information leaks.
The total capacity of the memory card displayed in the formatting screen may be less than indicated on the memory card.
Pressing the Shutter Button
Does the length of the shutter sound change?
Since the time required to shoot differs according to the scene you want to take, the length of the shutter sound may change.
If the camera or subject moves while the shutter sound is playing, the recorded image may be blurry.
If you shoot without pressing the shutter button halfway, the image may not be in focus.
CO PY
25
Since the camera can determine the subject and shooting conditions, you can let it automatically select the best settings for the scene and just shoot. The camera can also detect and focus on faces, setting the color and brightness to optimal levels.
Turn on the camera. Press the power button.
The start-up screen will appear.
Choose A mode. Set the mode switch to A. When you point the camera toward the
subject, the camera will make a slight noise as it determines the scene. The icon for the determined scene will appear in the upper right of the screen. The camera will focus on detected faces and display frames on them. Black bars will appear on the left and right sides of the screen. These areas cannot be recorded when shooting.
Compose the shot. Moving the zoom lever toward i
(telephoto) will zoom in on your subject, making it appear larger. Moving the lever toward j (wide angle) will zoom out from your subject, making it appear smaller. (The zoom bar showing the zoom position appears on the screen.)
If you move the zoom lever all the way toward j (wide angle) or i (telephoto), you will zoom quickly. If you move it slightly, you will zoom slowly.

What if...
What if the color and brightness of the images do not turn out as expected? The scene icon (p. 163) that appears on the screen may not match the actual scene. If this happens, try shooting in G mode (p. 72).
What if white and gray frames appear when you point the camera toward a subject? When faces are detected, a white frame appears on the face of the main subject, while gray frames appear on other detected faces. The frames will follow the subjects within a certain range (p. 84). If the main subject moves, however, the gray frames will disappear, leaving only the white frame.
What if a blue frame appears when you press the shutter button halfway? A blue frame appears when a moving subject is detected; the focus and exposure will continuously adjust (Servo AF).
What if the indicator blinks orange and flashes on the screen? Attach the camera to a tripod so that the camera does not move and blur the image.
What if the camera does not play any sounds? Pressing the n button while turning on the camera power will turn off all sounds except for warning sounds. To turn the sounds on, press the n button to choose [Mute] in the 3 tab, then press the qr buttons to choose [Off].
What if the image comes out dark even if the flash fired when shooting? The subject is too far away for the flash to reach. The effective flash range is approximately 30 cm 3.5 m (12 in. 12 ft.) at maximum wide angle (j), and approximately 1.0 2.0 m (3.3 6.6 ft.) at maximum telephoto (i).
What if the camera beeps once when the shutter button is pressed halfway? Your subject may be too close. Move the zoom lever toward j and hold it until the lens stops moving. The camera will be at its maximum wide angle setting and you will be able to focus on subjects that are about 1 cm (0.4 in.) or more away from the end of the lens. Move the zoom lever toward i and hold it until the lens stops moving. The camera will be at its maximum telephoto setting and you will be able to focus on subjects that are about 1 m (3.3 ft.) or more away from the end of the lens.
What if the lamp lights when the shutter button is pressed halfway? To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may light when shooting in dark areas.
What if the h icon blinks when you try to shoot? The flash is charging. You can shoot when recharging ends.

images (approx. 1000) stored on the memory card. Use a commercially available USB card reader to transfer the images. Insert the memory card into the printers card slot to print.
Naming error! The folder or image could not be created because there is an image with the same file
name as the folder or image that the camera is attempting to create, or the highest possible file number has already been reached. In the 3 menu, change [File Numbering] to [Auto Reset] (p. 144) or format the memory card (p. 23).
Lens Error This error can occur if you hold the lens while it is in motion or when using it in a
location with excessive dust or sand in the air. If this error message continues to appear, contact a Canon Customer Support Help
Desk as there may be a problem with the lens. A camera error was detected (Error number) If an error code appears directly after taking a picture, the shot may not have been
recorded. Check the image in Playback mode. If this error code reappears, note the Error number (Exx) and contact a Canon
Customer Support Help Desk as there may be a problem with the camera.

This camera is a high-precision electronic device. Do not drop it or subject it to strong impacts.
Never place the camera close to magnets, motors or other devices that generate strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.
If water droplets or dirt become stuck on the camera or screen, wipe with a dry soft cloth or eyeglass wiper. Do not rub or apply force.
Never use cleaners containing organic solvents to wipe the camera or screen.
Use a commercially available blower brush to remove dust from the lens. For stubborn dirt contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk as listed on the customer support leaflet supplied with your camera.
When you move the camera rapidly from cold to hot temperatures, condensation may form on the internal or external surfaces of the camera. To avoid condensation, put the camera in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and let it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.
If condensation has formed on the camera, stop using it immediately, as continued use may damage the camera. Remove the battery and memory card, and wait until the moisture has completely evaporated before resuming use.
