• A blinking [ ] icon warns that images are more likely to be blurred
by camera shake. In this case, mount the camera on a tripod or take
other measures to keep it still.
• If your shots are dark despite the ash ring, move closer to the
subject. For details on the ash range, see “Flash” (=

• The subject may be too close if the camera only beeps once when
you press the shutter button halfway. For details on the range of
focus (shooting range), see “Lens” (=

Shooting can resume as soon as the ash is ready, so either press
the shutter button all the way down and wait, or release it and press
it again.

Zooming In Closer on Subjects (Digital Zoom)
When distant subjects are too far away to enlarge using the optical zoom,
use digital zoom for up to about 32x enlargement.
1 Move the zoom lever toward
[

zz Hold the lever until zooming stops.
zz Zooming stops at the largest zoom factor
before the image becomes noticeably
grainy, which is then indicated on the
screen.
2 Move the zoom lever toward

zz The camera zooms in even closer on the
subject.
Zoom Factor
• Moving the zoom lever will display the zoom bar (which indicates
the zoom position). The zoom bar is color-coded to indicate the
zoom range.
- White range: optical zoom range where the image will not appear
grainy.
- Yellow range: digital zoom range where the image is not noticeably
grainy (ZoomPlus).
- Blue range: digital zoom range where the image will appear grainy.
Because the blue range will not be available at some recording pixel
settings (=
36), the maximum zoom factor can be achieved by
following step 1.
• Zoomed images may look grainy under some recording pixel
settings (=
36) and zoom factors. In this case, the zoom factor is
shown in blue.

Using an Eye-Fi/FlashAir Card
Before using an Eye-Fi/FlashAir card, always conrm that local use is
permitted.
You can send images from the camera to Wi-Fi compatible smartphones,
tablets, or computers by inserting a FlashAir card in the camera. Inserting
a prepared Eye-Fi card enables automatic wireless transfer of images to a
computer or uploading to a photo-sharing website.
Images are transferred by the Eye-Fi/FlashAir card. Refer to the card’s user
manual or contact the manufacturer for instructions on preparing and using
cards or resolving transfer problems.
• When using an Eye-Fi/FlashAir card, keep the following points in
mind.
- Cards may continue to emit radio waves even after [FlashAir] is
set to [O] (=
93) or [Eye-Fi trans.] is set to [Disable] (=
93).
Remove the card before entering hospitals, aircraft, or other areas
where transmission is prohibited.
- When troubleshooting image transfer issues, check the card and
computer settings. For details, refer to the card’s user manual.
- Poor network connections may delay or interrupt image transfer.
- Cards may become hot, due to their transfer functions.
- Battery power will be consumed faster than in normal use.
- Camera operation may become sluggish. To resolve this, try
setting [Eye-Fi trans.] to [Disable].
Connection Status Display
Connection status can be checked on the shooting screen (in regular
information display mode) or playback screen (in simple information display

Troubleshooting
If you think there is a problem with the camera, rst check the following.
If the items below do not solve your problem, contact a Canon Customer
Support Help Desk.

• Conrm that the battery pack is charged (=
11).
• Conrm that the battery pack is inserted facing the correct way (=
12).
• Conrm that the memory card/battery cover is fully closed (=
12).
• Dirty battery terminals reduce battery performance. Try cleaning the terminals with a
cotton swab and reinserting the battery pack a few times.
The battery pack runs out of power quickly.
• Battery performance decreases at low temperatures. Try warming the battery pack a
little by putting it in your pocket, for example, ensuring that the terminals do not touch
any metal objects.
• If these measures do not help and the battery pack still runs out of power soon after
charging, it has reached the end of its life. Purchase a new battery pack.
The lens is not retracted.
• Do not open the memory card/battery cover while the camera is on. Close the cover,
turn the camera on, and then turn it o again (=
12).
The battery pack is swollen.
• Battery swelling is normal and does not pose any safety concerns. However, if
battery swelling prevents the battery pack from tting in the camera, contact a Canon
Customer Support Help Desk.

35).
• Adjust brightness by using exposure compensation (=
46).
• Use spot metering (=
47).
• Reduce the lighting on subjects.
Shots look too dark despite the ash ring (=
29).
• Shoot within ash range (=
108).
• Increase the ISO speed (=
47).
Subjects in ash shots look too bright, highlights are washed-out.
• Shoot within ash range (=
108).
• Set the ash mode to [
] (=
35).
White spots appear in ash shots.
• This is caused by light from the ash reecting o dust or airborne particles.
Shots look grainy.
• Lower the ISO speed (=
47).
• High ISO speeds in some shooting modes may cause grainy images (=
47).
Subjects are aected by red-eye.
• Set [Lamp Setting] to [On] (=
37) to light the red-eye reduction lamp (=
4) for
ash shots. Note that while the red-eye reduction lamp is lit (for about one second),
it is not possible to shoot, because the lamp is counteracting red-eye. For best
results, have subjects look at the red-eye reduction lamp. Also try increasing the
lighting in indoor scenes and shooting at closer range.
• Edit images using red-eye correction (=
68).
Recording to the memory card takes too long, or continuous shooting
is slower.
• Use the camera to perform low-level formatting of the memory card (=
74).
Shooting settings or FUNC. menu settings are not available.
• Available setting items vary by shooting mode. Refer to “Functions Available in Each
Shooting Mode”, “FUNC. Menu”, and “Shooting Tab” (=
101 – 105).
Shooting Movies
The elapsed time shown is incorrect, or recording is interrupted.
• Use the camera to format the memory card, or switch to a card that supports
high-speed recording. Note that even if the elapsed time display is incorrect, the
length of movies on the memory card corresponds to the actual recording time
(=
73, 108).
[ ] is displayed and shooting stops automatically.
The camera’s internal memory buer lled up as the camera could not record to the
memory card quickly enough. Try one of the following measures.
• Use the camera to perform low-level formatting of the memory card (=
74).
• Lower the image quality (=
36).
• Switch to a memory card that supports high-speed recording (=
108).
Playback
Playback is not possible.
• Image or movie playback may not be possible if a computer is used to rename les or
alter the folder structure.
Playback stops, or audio skips.
• Switch to a memory card that you have performed low-level formatting on with the
camera (=
74).
• There may be brief interruptions when playing movies copied to memory cards that
have slow read speeds.
• When movies are played on a computer, frames may be dropped and audio may skip
if computer performance is inadequate.
Sound is not played during movies.
• Adjust the volume (=
57) if you have activated [Mute] (=
70) or the sound in
the movie is faint.

Handling Precautions
• The camera is a high-precision electronic device. Avoid dropping it or
subjecting it to strong impact.
• Never bring the camera near magnets, motors, or other devices that
generate strong electromagnetic elds, which may cause malfunction or
erase image data.
• If water droplets or dirt adheres to the camera or screen, wipe with a dry
soft cloth, such as an eyeglass cloth. Do not rub hard or apply force.
• Never use cleaners containing organic solvents to clean the camera or
screen.
• Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens. If cleaning is dicult,
contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
• To prevent condensation from forming on the camera after sudden
temperature changes (when the camera is transferred from cold to warm
environments), put the camera in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and
let it gradually adjust to the temperature before removing it from the bag.
• If condensation does form on the camera, stop using it immediately.
Continuing to use the camera in this state may damage it. Remove
the battery pack and memory card, and wait until the moisture has
evaporated before resuming use.
• Store unused battery packs in a plastic bag or other container. To
maintain battery performance if you will not use the battery pack for some
time, about once a year charge it and then use the camera until it runs
out of power before storing the battery pack.
