surroundings. In the event that a battery leaks and the eyes, mouth, skin or clothing  
contacts these substances, immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance.  
If the battery charger becomes wet, unplug it from the outlet and consult your camera  
distributor or the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.  
Use only the specified battery charger to charge the battery.  
Do not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power cord.  
Unplug the power cord periodically and wipe away any dust and dirt that has  
collected on the plug, the exterior of the power outlet, and the surrounding area.  
Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.  
This could result in fire or electrical shock.  
Other Warnings  
Do not play the supplied CD-ROM(s) in any CD player that does not support  
data CD-ROMs.  
Playing the CD-ROM(s) in an audio CD player (music player) could damage the  
speakers. It is also possible to suffer hearing loss from listening with headphones to  
the loud sounds of a CD-ROM played on a music CD player.  
Caution  
Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong impacts or shocks  
when hanging it by the strap.  
Be careful not to bump or push strongly on the lens.  
This could damage the camera or lead to injury.  
Do not use the equipment in a manner that exceeds the rated capacity of the

Safety Precautions  
Do not use the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to the surface, or if it is  
covered by your fingers or clothing.  
This could result in burns or damage to the flash.  
Caution  
Do not aim the camera at bright light sources (the sun, etc.).  
Doing so may cause malfunctions or damage the image sensor.  
When using the camera on a beach or at a windy location, be careful not to  
allow dust or sand to enter the camera.  
This may cause the camera to malfunction.  
In regular use, small amounts of smoke may be emitted from the flash.  
This is due to the high intensity of the flash burning dust and foreign materials stuck to  
the front of the unit. Please use a cotton swab to remove dirt, dust or other foreign  
matter from the flash to prevent heat build-up and damage to the unit.  
Unplug the battery charger from the power outlet after recharging is complete,  
or when you are not using it.  
Do not place anything, such as cloth on top of the battery charger while it is  
charging.  
Leaving the unit plugged in for a long period of time may cause it to overheat and  
distort, resulting in fire.  
Remove and store the battery when you are not using the camera.  
If the battery is left inside the camera, damage caused by leakage may occur.  
Before you discard batteries, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators.  
Contacting other metal materials in waste containers may lead to fire or explosions.  
Do not place the battery near pets.  
Pets biting the battery could cause leakage, overheating or explosion, resulting in fire  
or injuries.  
Do not sit in a chair with the camera in your pocket.  
Doing so may cause malfunctions or damage the LCD monitor.  
When putting the camera in your bag, ensure that hard objects do not come into  
contact with the LCD monitor.

How to store the battery for long periods.  
Deplete and remove the battery from the camera. Attach the terminal cover and  
store the battery. Storing a battery for long periods of time (about a year) without  
depleting it may shorten its life span or affect its performance.  
The battery charger can also be used when abroad.  
The charger can be used in regions that have 100 – 240 V (50/60 Hz) AC power.  
If the plug does not fit the outlet, use a commercially available plug adapter. Do  
not use electrical transformers for foreign travel as they will cause damage.  
The battery may develop a bulge.  
This is a normal characteristic of the battery and does not indicate a problem.  
However, if the battery bulges to the point where it will no longer fit into the  
camera, please contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.  
If the battery is quickly depleted even after charging, it has reached the  
end of its life span.

Formatting Memory Cards  
Before you use a new memory card or one that has been used in other  
devices, you should format the card with this camera. Formatting (initializing)  
a memory card erases all data on the memory card. As you cannot retrieve  
the erased data, exercise adequate caution before formatting the memory  
card.  
Display the menu.  
Press the nbutton.  
Choose [Format].  
Press the qrbuttons to choose the 3  
tab.  
Press the opbuttons or turn the Âdial  
to choose [Format], then press the m  
button.  
Format the memory card.  
Press the qrbuttons or turn the Âdial  
to choose [OK], then press the mbutton.  
X The memory card will be formatted.  
X When formatting has finished, the menu  
screen will reappear.  
Formatting or erasing data on a memory card merely changes the file  
management information on the card and does not ensure its contents  
are completely erased. Be careful when transferring or disposing of a  
memory card. When disposing of a memory card, take precautions such  
as physically destroying the card to prevent personal information leaks.  
The total capacity of the memory card displayed in the formatting screen  
may be less than indicated on the memory card.

Pressing the Shutter Button  
The shutter button has two stops. To take images that are in focus, be sure  
to first press the shutter button lightly (halfway) to focus, then take the shot.  
Press halfway (lightly to the first  
stop).  
X The camera automatically focuses and  
selects the necessary settings for  
shooting, such as the brightness.  
X When the camera focuses, it will beep  
twice and the indicator will light green.  
Press fully (to the second stop).  
X The camera plays the shutter sound and  
takes the shot.  
Since the shot is being taken while the  
shutter sound plays, be careful not to  
move the camera.  
Does the length of the shutter sound change?  
Since the time required to shoot differs according to the scene you want to take,  
the length of the shutter sound may change.  
If the camera or subject moves while the shutter sound is playing, the recorded  
image may be blurry.  
If you just press the shutter button fully without pausing halfway, the  
image may not be in focus.

Indicator  
Display in Dark Conditions during Shooting  
The display automatically brightens when shooting in dark conditions,  
allowing you to check the composition (Night Display function). However, the  
brightness of the image on the screen, and the brightness of the actual  
image recorded may be different. Screen noise may appear and the  
movement of the subject may appear somewhat jagged on the screen. This  
has no effect on the recorded image.  
Overexposure Warning during Playback  
In “Detailed Information Display” (p. 45), overexposed areas of the image  
flash on the screen.  
Histogram during Playback  
The graph that appears in “Detailed  
Information Display” (p. 45) is called the  
histogram. The histogram shows the  
distribution and amount of brightness of  
an image. When the graph approaches  
the right side, the image is bright, but  
when it approaches the left side, the  
image is dark, and in this way you can  
judge the exposure.

terminals with a cotton swab and re-insert the battery several times.  
Battery is consumed quickly.  
Battery performance decreases at low temperatures. Warm the battery by  
placing it, for example, in your pocket with the terminal cover on.  
Lens will not retract.  
Do not open the memory card/battery cover while the power is on. After closing  
the memory card/battery cover, turn the power on then back off (p. 18).  
TV output

Troubleshooting  
Image is blurred.  
Press the shutter button halfway to focus on the subject, then press fully to  
shoot (p. 23).  
Shoot the subject within the focusing distance (p. 163).  
Set the [AF-assist Beam] to [On] (p. 143).  
Confirm that functions which you do not intend to use (macro, etc.) are not set.  
Shoot using the focus lock or AF lock (pp. 80, 84).  
Even when you press the shutter button halfway, the AF frame does  
not appear, and the camera does not focus.  
If you center on the light and dark contrasting area of the subject and push the  
shutter button halfway, or repeatedly push the shutter button halfway, the frame  
will appear and the camera will focus.  
Subject is too dark.  
Set the flash to h(p. 69).  
Adjust the brightness with exposure compensation (p. 69).  
Adjust the brightness with the i-Contrast function (pp. 90, 130).  
Use the AE lock, or spot metering to shoot (p. 88).  
Subject is too bright (overexposed).  
Set the flash to !(p. 59).  
Adjust the brightness with exposure compensation (p. 69).  
Use the AE lock, or spot metering to shoot (p. 88).  
Reduce the light illuminating the subject.  
Image is dark even though the flash fired (p. 26).  
Increase the ISO speed (p. 74).  
Shoot within an appropriate distance for flash photography (p. 69).  
Image taken using the flash is too bright (overexposed).  
Shoot within an appropriate distance for flash photography (p. 69).  
Set the flash to !(p. 59).  
White dots appear on the image when shooting with the flash.  
Light from the flash has reflected off dust particles or other objects in the air.  
Image appears rough or grainy.  
Shoot with the ISO speed on a lower setting (p. 74).  
Depending on the Shooting mode, when shooting in a high ISO speed the image  
may appear rough or grainy (p. 58).  
Eyes appear red (p. 91).  
Set the [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] (p. 143). When shooting with the flash, the lamp  
(on the front of the camera) lights (p. 42), and for approximately 1 second while  
the camera is reducing red-eye, it is not possible to shoot. It is more effective if  
the subject is looking directly at the lamp. Even better results can be obtained by  
increasing the lighting in indoor settings or approaching closer to the subject.

List of Messages that Appear on the Screen  
Movies cannot be magnified (p. 112), edited (pp. 127 131), added to a print list  
(p. 132), or registered to the start-up screen (p. 147).  
Cannot select!  
When choosing the selection range (pp. 121, 117, 123, 136), you tried to choose  
a starting image that was after the last image or you tried to choose an ending  
image that was before the starting image.  
You tried to choose more than 501 images in the selection range (pp. 121, 117,  
123).  
Too many marks.  
You chose more than 998 images in print settings. Choose less than 998  
images (p. 134).  
Cannot complete!  
Print settings could not be saved correctly. Reduce the number of selected  
images and try again (p. 134).  
Naming error!  
The file name could not be created because there is an image with the same  
name as the folder that the camera is attempting to create, or the highest  
possible file number has already been reached (p. 138). In the 3menu, change  
[File Numbering] to [Auto Reset] (p. 138) or format the memory card (pp. 22,  
52).  
Communication error  
Images could not be transferred to the computer or printed due to the large

memory card into the printer's card slot to print.

back on (p. 20). If this error message continues to appear, contact your Canon

location with excessive dust or sand in the air.  
Exx (xx: number)  
A camera error was detected. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the camera off  
and back on (p. 20).

Handling Precautions  
This camera is a high-precision electronic device. Do not drop it or subject  
it to strong impacts.  
Never place the camera close to magnets or motors that generate strong  
electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause  
malfunctions or corrupt image data.  
If water droplets have fallen onto, or dirt is stuck on the camera or LCD  
monitor, wipe with a dry soft cloth or eyeglass wiper. Do not rub or apply  
force.  
Never use cleaners containing organic solvents to wipe the camera or  
LCD monitor.  
Use a commercially available blower brush to remove dust from the lens.  
For stubborn dirt contact the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk  
as listed in your Warranty System Booklet.  
When you move the camera rapidly from cold to hot temperatures,  
condensation may form on the internal or external surfaces of the camera.  
To avoid condensation, put the camera in an airtight, resealable plastic  
bag and let it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it  
from the bag.  
If condensation has formed, stop using the camera immediately.  
Continued use may damage the camera. Remove the battery and  
memory card, and wait until the moisture has completely evaporated  
before resuming use.
