waves, never place the camera near motors or equipment
which generate strong magnetic fields.
Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or
corrupt image data.
z
To prevent condensation when moving the camera from a cold
location to a hot location, seal the camera inside a vinyl bag and
remove the camera after acclimatizing it to the ambient
temperature.
In the event that condensation in the camera occurs, remove the
memory card and battery and leave the camera idle at normal
temperature until the moisture naturally evaporates.
The Battery
z 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.
COPY

Appendix
z At low temperatures, battery performance may be reduced and
the remaining battery charge icon (blinks red) may appear
earlier than usual.
Under these conditions, revive the battery by warming it in a pocket
immediately before use.
z 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.
z 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

z Since some or all of the data recorded on the memory card
may be corrupted or erased by electrical noise, static
electricity, camera or memory card malfunction, making a
backup copy of important data is recommended.
z Please note that formatting (initializing) a memory card erases
all data, including protected images.
z You are recommended to use memory cards that have been
formatted in your camera.
• The memory 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.
z 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.
z Be careful when transferring or disposing of a memory card.
Formatting or erasing the data on a memory card merely
changes the file management information on the memory card
and does not ensure that its contents are completely deleted.
When disposing of a memory card, take precautions, such as
physically destroying the memory card, to prevent personal
information leaks.

z For continuous shooting, although the flash fires for the first
shot, it does not fire for subsequent shots.
z 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.

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