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

region before using it with a TV monitor (p. 104).
Language Setting
Please see the Basic Guide (p. 9) to change the language setting.
zBefore 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.
zThe safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended
to instruct you in the safe and correct operation of the camera and

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.

z 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
z 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

By using the IS mode, you can reduce image blur when magnifying
a distant subject or shooting in low-light situations.
How to Use the IS Mode
Continuous
You can check the effect of the IS mode on image blur
on the LCD monitor since the IS mode runs
continually. This makes it easier to compose images
and focus on subjects.
Shoot Only
IS mode is only activated when the shutter button is
pressed, so subjects will be captured with reduced
blur even if their movements displayed on the LCD
monitor are not smooth. This option is not available in
the mode.
Panning
This option only stabilizes the effect of up and down
camera motions on the image. This option is
recommended for shooting objects moving horizontally.
This option is not available in the mode.

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. 55).
(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.

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])
50
z 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.
- Faces may not be detected in the following instances.
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.

Battery Handling
Battery Charge
The following icon and message will display.
Battery Handling Precautions
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.
z 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.
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
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.
Fig. A Fig. B
Appendix
131
You may be able to check the charge state depending upon how
the terminal cover is attached (Fig. C, D).
z You are recommended to use it in the camera until it is
depleted 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 in the camera about once a year before returning it
to storage.
Charging the Battery
z Since this is a lithium-ion battery, you need not discharge it
before recharging.
z It takes approximately 2 hours 5 minutes to fully charge the
battery from a depleted state (based on Canon’s 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.
z 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.
z 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
z Memory cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not
bend them, apply force to them, or subject them to shocks
or vibration.
z Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the memory card.
z 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.
z Do not peel away the original label on the memory card or
cover it with another label or sticker.
z 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).
z 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
z 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.

Formatting
z Please note that formatting (initializing) an memory card
erases all data, including protected images.
z 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.
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 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.
134
It is best to power the camera with AC Adapter Kit ACK-DC30 (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)

supporting bracket.
Please read the instructions accompanying the flash along with this
explanation.
Using an Externally Mounted Flash
(Sold Separately)
z 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.
z Be careful not to touch the flash window or sensor
windows with your fingers while the flash is in use.
z The flash may fire if another flash is being used in close
proximity.
z The High-Power Flash may not fire outdoors in daylight or
when there are no reflective items.
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
zCharge 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.
zUsage 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.
zNon-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.
