This camera records images as either JPEG images or RAW images.
JPEG image (/////)
When pictures are taken as JPEG images, the images are processed
inside the camera for optimum image quality, and also compressed to
allow a larger number of images to be stored on the memory card.
However, the compression process is irreversible, meaning that the
original image data cannot be recovered once it has been compressed.
See Changing the Recording Pixels (Still Images) and Changing the
Compression (Still Images) (pp. 80, 81).
RAW image ( )
RAW data is the data output by the imaging element and converted to
digital data which is recorded as is. This results in images with almost
no deterioration in image quality and a higher quality than JPEG
images. Using the supplied software (Digital Photo Professional), you
can broadly adjust images without deterioration in image quality. Using
the software’s image processing functions, you can take the adjusted
image data and convert it a JPEG, TIFF or other type of image in line
with your intended use.

Shooting Using the Mode Dial
The nature of CCDs is such that noise in the recorded image
increases at slow 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. (However, a certain amount of
processing time may be required before the next image can be
shot.)
z The shutter speed, zoom and aperture value have the
following relationship.
z The fastest shutter speed for flash synchronization is 1/500
second*. Therefore, even if the shutter speed is preset to a
speed higher than 1/500 second, the camera automatically
resets the shutter speed to 1/500 second during shooting.
* When using an external flash, see pp. 266, 267.
Shutter Speed Display

The aperture adjusts the amount of light entering through the lens.
When you set the aperture value, the camera automatically selects a
shutter speed to match the brightness.
Selecting a lower aperture value (opening the aperture) allows you to
blur the background and create a beautiful portrait.

A number one higher than the last one recorded is assigned
to the next image. This is convenient for managing all your
images together on a computer because you avoid file name
duplication when changing folders or memory cards.*
* When a blank memory card is used. If a memory card with recorded
data is used, the 7-digit number for the last recorded folder and
image is compared with the last one on the memory card, and the
larger of the two is utilized as the basis for new images.
Auto Reset
The image and folder number are reset to the starting value
(100-0001).* This is convenient for managing images on a
folder-by-folder basis.
* When a blank memory card is used. If a memory card with recorded
data is used, the number following the 7-digit number for the last
recorded folder and image on the memory card is utilized as the
basis for new images.

Preventing Malfunctions
Camera
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
z When moving the equipment rapidly from cold to hot
temperatures, 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.
If condensation forms on the camera, remove the memory card and
battery, and set the camera aside in room temperature to allow the
condensation to naturally evaporate before using the camera again.
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.
z At low temperatures, battery performance may be reduced and
the low battery icon (blinks red) may appear earlier than
usual.
Under these conditions, restore the battery performance by warming it
in a pocket immediately before use.
z Do not put the battery into a pocket together with metallic
items such as a key ring.
The battery may be short circuiting.
COPY
255
Appendix
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. 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.
z Since this is a lithium-ion battery, you need not deplete it
before recharging.
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 It takes approximately 2 hours 20 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 If the performance of the battery diminishes substantially even
when it is fully charged, its life has been exceeded and it
should be replaced.

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.
• When the camera is malfunctioning, a corrupted memory card might
be the cause. Reformatting the memory card 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.
LCD Monitor
z Do not sit in a chair with the camera in your pocket.
Doing so may cause malfunction or damage the LCD monitor.
z When putting the camera in your bag, ensure that hard objects
do not come into contact with the LCD monitor.
