operating the camera for an extended period as your hands may experience a burning sensation.
● Read this First ●
• Do not place the batteries near a heat source or expose them to direct flame or heat. Neither should you
immerse them in water. Such exposure may damage the batteries and lead to the leakage of corrosive
liquids, fire, electrical shock, explosion or serious injury.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the batteries. There is serious risk of injury due to an
explosion. Immediately flush with water any area of the body, including the eyes and mouth, skin or clothing,
that comes into contact with the inner contents of a battery.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the batteries to severe impacts that could damage the casings. It could lead to
leakage and injury.
• Do not short-circuit the battery terminals with metallic objects, such as key holders. It could lead to overheat-
ing, burns and other injuries.
• Before you discard a battery, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators to prevent direct contact with
other objects. Contact with the metallic components of other materials in waste
containers may lead to fire or explosions. Discard the batteries in specialized waste facilities if available in
your area.
• Use of batteries not expressly recommended for this equipment may cause explosions or leaks,
resulting in fire, injury and damage to the surroundings. Use only recommended batteries and
accessories.
• If using AA-size NiMH batteries, use only Canon AA-size NiMH batteries and the charger
recommended for use with these batteries. Use of another charger may cause batteries to overheat or
deform, posing risk of fire or electric shock.
• Disconnect the battery charger or compact power adapter from both the camera and electrical outlet after
recharging and when the camera is not in use to avoid fires and other hazards.

Preventing Malfunctions
● Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields
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
Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to
form on its external and internal surfaces. You can avoid this 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 Inside the Camera
Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation.
Continued use may damage the equipment. Remove the CF card and battery or power cord (if connected) from
the camera and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.
● Extended Storage
When not using the camera for extended periods of time, remove the batteries from the camera or battery
charger and store the equipment in a safe place. Storing the camera for extended periods with batteries
installed will run down the battery and may damage the camera.
● Read this First ●
Installing the Battery and CF Card
Insert two (2) AA-size alkaline batteries (included
with the camera) or two (2) NiMH batteries (sold
separately) and insert the CF card.
1
Be sure that the camera power is off.
2
Slide the CF card slot / battery cover
and open the battery cover.
3
Insert the batteries as shown and
close the battery cover.
4
Insert the CF card as shown.
Slide the CF card firmly to the end. To release
the CF card, hold onto it and remove.

Never mix unused and partially used batter-
ies. Always load two fresh (or fully recharged)
batteries at the same time.
Never mix batteries of different types or from
different manufactures. Both batteries should
be identical.
Before inserting the batteries, wipe the
battery terminals well with a dry cloth. Oil from
one’s skin or other dirt may cause a consid-
erable reduction in the number of recordable
images or reduced usage time.
Before using the camera, wipe the and
terminals in the camera well with a dry cloth.
Dirt may cause a bad electrical contact.
Battery performance deteriorates at low
temperatures (especially with alkaline
batteries). If you are using the camera in cold
areas and batteries are running down faster
than they should, you may be able to restore
performance by placing batteries in an inner
pocket to warm them up prior to use. But be
careful that you don’t put the batteries into a
pocket together with a metal key chain or
other metallic objects, as these objects may
cause batteries to short-circuit.
Proper Battery Handling
Use AA-size Alkaline or Canon AA-size NiMH
batteries only. Refer to "Using Rechargeable
Batteries" (p. 96) for their handling.
Never use manganese or lithium batteries,
as these battery types may overheat in the
camera.
Since the performance of alkaline batteries
may differ according to brand, the operating
time of the batteries you purchase may not
be as long as the batteries that came with
the camera.
Camera operating time may shorten at low
temperatures when alkaline batteries are
used. Also due to their specifications,
alkaline batteries may expire faster than
NiMH batteries. If you are using the camera
in cold areas or for a long time, we
recommend using Canon AA-size NiMH
Battery Kit.
While it is possible to use AA-size nickel-
cadmium batteries, performance is unreliable
and their use is not recommended.
● Preparing the Camera ●
5
Close the CF card slot / battery cover.
When the camera's indicator flashes green, do
not turn off the power or open the battery cover.
The camera is writing, reading, erasing or trans-
mitting an image to or from the CF card. Do not
perform the following operations as recorded
images may be damaged as a result.
• Turn the camera off
• Open the cover
• Shake the camera
Be aware that use of CF cards whose contents
have been edited on another camera or with
another company’s software may cause the
camera to operate incorrectly.
We recommend that you use the optional AC
Adapter Kit ACK800 to power the camera
during long usage sessions (p. 99).
The optional battery charger kit lets you use
rechargeable NiMH batteries to power the
camera (p. 96).
For information about the Battery and
Charger Kit and AA-size rechargeable NiMH
batteries, see the System Map (separate
from this guide).
For important information, see “Battery
Performance” (p. 109) and “CF Cards and
Estimated Capacities (Recordable Images)”
(p. 110).

About CF Cards
CF cards are high-precision electronic
devices. Do not bend them, apply force to
them, or subject them to shocks or vibration.
Do not attempt to disassemble or alter a CF
card.
Moving a CF card rapidly between tempera-
ture extremes will cause condensation to form
in the card and lead to a malfunction. To avoid
condensation, place the CF card in a sealed
plastic bag before moving it into a different
temperature zone and allow it to adjust slowly
to the new temperature. If condensation
forms on the CF card, store it at room
temperature until the water droplets have
evaporated naturally.
Do not use or store CF cards in the following
types of location.
• Locations subject to dust or sand
• Locations subject to high humidity and high
temperatures
● Preparing the Camera ●
WARNING
Never use damaged batteries or batteries whose outer
seal is completely or partially missing or peeled off, as
there is risk that such batteries may leak, overheat, or
burst. Always check the seals on store-bought batter-
ies before loading them, as some batteries may come
with defective seals. Do not use batteries with defec-
tive seals.
Never use batteries that look like this.
Batteries with all or part of the seal
(electrical insulation sheath) peeled

Using the Viewfinder
You can reduce power consumption by
shooting images with the viewfinder.
1
Align the subject with the center of the
optical viewfinder and shoot.
The viewfinder has a field of vision* of ap-
proximately 80% of the actual shooting im-
age.
* The ratio of the range that can be viewed by
the finder for the actual shooting range.
About the Autofocus Function
This camera employs AiAF (artificial intelli-
gence autofocus) technology which uses a
broad metering field to calculate the focal
distance with high precision. It delivers a
crisp focus even when the photographic sub-
ject is slightly off-center (p. 51).
Image Seen in Viewfinder vs. Recorded Image
Please note that the actual image may differ
from the image seen in the optical viewfinder
due to the physical separation between the
viewfinder and lens. This is called the paral-
lax phenomenon and is more noticeable the
closer the subject is to the lens. In some
cases, portions of images shot up close that
appear in the viewfinder will not appear in
the recorded image. You are recommended
to use the LCD monitor to shoot images up
close.

● Shooting ●
If the flash is used in macro mode, the light may
not be controlled correctly. In this case, set a
higher ISO sensitivity or use other lightings in-
stead of using the flash.
When shooting with a high ISO sensitivity and
using the built-in flash, there is more of a chance
of overexposure the closer you are to the sub-
ject.
Please note that a slow shutter speed will be
selected in dark places when the flash is set to
off or slowsynchro. Be careful to avoid camera
blur under these conditions.
• Shooting in Mode
Be careful to hold the camera still to avoid cam-
era Shake.
• Shooting in or / Mode
Fix the camera to a tripod since the shutter
speed will be slower than in the mode.
If an image is dark in mode, reshooting in
mode will make it brighter.
The flash may take approximately 20
seconds to charge. The LCD monitor, if it is
on, will go off after the indicator flashes
orange while recharging. The LCD monitor
will go back on after the indicator glows a
steady orange when recharging is completed.
Recharging time may vary according to
shooting conditions and battery charge lev-
els.
The flash fires twice. A preparatory pre-flash
is followed by the main flash. The exposure
readings obtained from the subject with the
pre-flash are used to set the optimal flash
intensity for the main flash, which is used to
shoot the image.
Red-Eye Reduction
Light reflecting back from the eyes may
appear red when the flash is used in dark
places. Use the auto red-eye reduction* for
these situations.
For this mode to be effective, the subject
must be looking right at the red-eye
reduction lamp. Try asking them to look at
the red-eye lamp. Even better results can
be obtained by increasing the lighting in in-
door settings or coming closer to the
subject.
*The shutter will not activate for approxi-
mately 1 second after the red-eye reduction
lamp fires, even when the shutter button is
pressed all the way down in order to improve
the effect. If you want to have more immedi-
ate shutter response, set the flash setting to

● Shooting ●
Stitch Assist Mode
Use this mode when taking shots that you want
to combine into a panorama. To create the pan-
orama itself, you must stitch the images together
on your computer.
There are two stitch assist modes based on the
shooting direction as shown in the following.
Shoots horizontally from left to right.
Shoots horizontally from right to left.
Left→right

To create the panorama at your computer,
use the Photostitch software that came with
your camera.
Framing a Subject
The PhotoStitch program detects the overlap-
ping portions of adjoining images and merges
them. When shooting, try to include a distinc-
tive item (landmark) in the overlapping portions.
• Compose each frame so that it overlaps 30
to 50 % of the adjoining image. Try to keep
the vertical misalignment to within 10 % of
the image height.
• Do not include moving items in the overlap.
• Do not try to stitch images that include both
distant and close items. Objects may appear
warped or doubled up.
● Shooting ●

Resetting the File Number
Select the set up method for the file number.

The camera resets the file number to 100-
0001 each time you insert a new (unused)
CF card. If you insert a card that already
contains some images, numbering resumes
from the next available number.
The camera remembers the last file number,
and starts numbering from the next number
when you insert a new CF card.

1
In the [Rec.] menu, select (File
No. Reset).
See “Selecting Menus and Settings” (p. 36).
2
Press or button to select [On]
or [Off] and press the MENU button.
The [Off] setting helps ensure that file num-
bers remain unique over multiple CF cards.
This is useful if you are planning to down-
load images from the cards to your computer,
since it helps avoid accidental overwrites that
may occur if filenames are duplicated.
About file numbering...
Image files are assigned numerical file
names over the range 0001 to 9900. The
camera stores these files into folders, which
are assigned folder numbers from 100 to 998
(except that numbers ending in 99 are not
used).
In most cases the camera stores exactly 100
files into each folder. Because the camera
cannot switch to a new folder when taking
shots in or / mode, however,
some folders may have more than 100 im-
ages.

Replacing the Date Battery
If the LCD monitor displays the Set Date / Time
menu when you turn on the camera, this means
that the Date battery has run down and the clock
has stopped running. Please purchase a
replacement battery (battery type CR2016) and
install it as follows. (The date battery is
preinstalled at the factory and may therefore
expire earlier than its rated lifespan after the
camera has been purchased.)
Be particularly careful to keep the date
batteries out of the reach of children. Seek
medical assistance immediately if a child
swallows a battery since corrosive battery
fluids could damage the stomach or intestinal
wall.
1
Be sure that the camera is turned off.
2
Pull out the date battery holder in the
direction of the arrow.
3
Shift the date battery slightly in the
direction of the arrow q and pull out
the battery in the direction as shown
with arrow w.
(+) Positive end

This charger can be used only to charge Canon
AA-size NiMH batteries. Please do not attempt
to charge any other type of batteries with this
charger.
Never mix unused batteries together with
batteries that have been used in other devices.
When recharging batteries from the camera,
always recharge both of them at the same time.
Do not mix batteries with different purchase
dates or different charge states.
Do not attempt to recharge fully charged
batteries, as doing so may reduce or impair
battery performance.
Do not recharge batteries in enclosed areas that
tend to retain heat.
Repeatedly recharging batteries before they
become fully depleted may cause batteries to
lose capacity. Do not recharge the batteries until
the LCD monitor displays the “Change the
batteries” message.
Wipe the battery terminals well with a dry cloth
in the following situations, as the terminals may
be soiled with oil from one’s skin or other dirt:
- If the battery usage time has considerably di-
minished
- If the number of recordable images has consid-
erably diminished
- When charging the batteries (insert and remove
the batteries two or three times before charg-
ing)
- When charging completes in a matter of a few
minutes (the battery charger indicator remains
lit)
Always keep the and terminals of batter-
ies, battery charger and camera clean. Dirt may
cause a bad electrical contact. Wipe them well
with a dry cloth before recharging or using them.
You may not be able to fully charge the batter-
ies due to their specifications right after pur-
chase or after long periods of non-use. If this
happens, use the batteries until their charge is
depleted before charging them again. After do-
ing this several times, battery performance will
be restored.
If battery usage time is considerably low de-
spite their terminals’ being wiped and the bat-
tery charger’s indicator remaining lit, it is pos-
sible that the batteries have reached the end of
their lifespan. Switch to different, unused bat-
teries. If you are purchasing new batteries, look
for Canon’s AA-size NiMH batteries.
● Appendices ●
4
Insert the new date battery into the
holder with the (+) side facing up.
5
Replace the date battery holder back
into its original position.
6
Set the date and time when the Set
Date / Time menu is displayed on the
LCD monitor (p. 24).
The LCD monitor also displays the Set Date /
Time menu the very first time you turn on the
camera. This is normal, and you don’t need
to replace the date battery.
If you should dispose of your cam-
era, first remove the date battery
for recycling according to the recy-
cling system of your country.

Using the Household Power Source
(AC Adapter Kit ACK800)
Use of the ACK800 optional AC adapter kit is
recommended when using the camera
continuously for prolonged periods of time and
when connecting to a computer.
Be sure that the camera is turned off before
connecting or disconnecting the compact power
adapter.
1
Connect the power cable to the
compact power adapter, and then
plug the other end into the electrical
outlet.
To an electrical outlet
2
Open the Terminal cover, and con-
nect the adapter’s DC plug into the
camera’s DC IN terminal.
• Please unplug the adapter from the power
outlet when you have finished using the
camera.
Please do not attempt to use any AC adapter
other than AC Adapter Kit ACK800 with your
camera. Use of a different adapter may result
in damage to the camera or to the adapter kit.
Leaving batteries in the camera or charger may
damage it causing battery leakage.
Remove batteries from the camera or charger
and store in a dry cool location when not in use.
It takes approximately 110 minutes (for two)
and 220 minutes (for four) for the charger to
fully recharge the batteries (as determined
by testing at Canon facilities). Please do not
charge batteries in areas where the tem-
perature is outside the range of 0 to 35 °C
(32 to 104 °F).
Charging time varies according to ambient
temperature and to the batteries’ initial
charge state.
