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. Purchase a new battery.

Formatting Memory Cards  
Before you use a new memory card or one that has been formatted 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.  
Before formatting an Eye-Fi card (p. 179), be sure to install the software  
contained on the card to a computer.

Pressing the Shutter Button  
Complete formatting.  
X When formatting ends, [Memory card

z Touch [OK].  
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 ca.  
Perform a low-level format (p. 165) of the emy card when the camera  
does not operate properly, the recog/readspeed of a memory card  
has dropped, when continuous speed ows down, or when  
movie recording stops suddenly.

image may be blurry.  
If you shoot without pressing the shutter button halfway, the image may not  
be in focus.

Using an Eye-Fi Card  
Before using an Eye-Fi card, be sure to check whether Eye-Fi card use is  
authorized in the country or territory of use (p. 17).  
When you put a prepared Eye-Fi card into the camera, you can automatically  
transfer your images wirelessly to a computer, or upload them to a web  
service.  
Image transfer is a function of the Eye-Fi card. For details on how to setup  
and use the card, and concerning problems transferring images, please refer  
to the Eye-Fi card user guide, or contact the manufacturer.  
Please keep the following things in mind when using an Eye-Fi card.  
Even if you set [Eye-Fi trans.] to [Disable] (p. 180), the Eye-Fi card may transmit  
radio waves. Be sure to remove the Eye-Fi card from the camera before  
entering areas that prevent unauthorized tranission of radio waves, such as  
hospitals and airplanes.  
If you have trouble transferring ims, chee card or computer settings.
