intense light produced by the flash may injure eyesight. In particular, remain at least
one meter (39 inches) away from infants when using the flash.
• Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. Accidental damage to
the camera or batteries by a child could result in serious injury. In addition, placement
of the strap around the child’s neck could result in asphyxiation.
• Be particularly careful to keep the date batteries used in the camera and wireless
controller out of the reach of children. Seek medical assistance immediately if a child
swallows a battery.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is not expressly
described in this guide. Disassembly or alteration may result in high-voltage electrical
shock. Internal inspections, alterations and repairs should be conducted by qualified
service personnel authorized by your camera distributor or the closest Canon Customer
Support Help Desk.
• To avoid the risk of high-voltage electrical shock, do not touch the flash portion of the
camera if it has been damaged. Similarly, never touch internal portions of the
equipment that become exposed as a result of damage. There is a risk of high-voltage
electrical shock. Please take the first opportunity to consult your camera distributor or
the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
• Stop operating the equipment immediately if it emits smoke or noxious fumes. Failure to do
so may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately turn the camera’s power off, remove
the camera battery and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Confirm that
smoke or fume emissions have ceased. Please consult your camera distributor or the closest
Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
• Stop operating the equipment if it is dropped or the casing is damaged. Failure to do so
may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately turn the camera’s power off, remove the
camera battery and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Please consult your
camera distributor or the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
• Do not allow the equipment to come into contact with, or become immersed in, water
or other liquids. Do not allow liquids to enter the interior. The camera has not been
waterproofed. If the exterior comes into contact with liquids or salt air, wipe it dry with
a soft, absorbent cloth. If water or other foreign substances enter the interior,
immediately turn the camera’s power off and remove the camera battery or unplug the

Indicator
16 Preparing the Camera
• After charging the battery, remove it from the camera if the camera will not be used.
• If the main dial is set to any position other than while charging, the battery
pack will stop charging and the household electrical current will power the
camera.
• This is a lithium ion battery pack so there is no need to completely use or
discharge it before recharging. It can be charged at any charge state.
• It takes approximately 80 minutes to bring a fully discharged battery pack to a
charge state of approximately 90% (adequate charge for use). It takes
approximately 2 more hours to charge it fully (based on standard Canon testing
criteria). Charge it within a temperature range of 5 to 40º C (41 to 104º F).
• Charging times will vary according to the surrounding humidity and battery pack
charge state.
• Battery Pack BP-512 (optional) can also be used in this camera.
Battery Pack Handling Precautions
• Keep the battery pack and camera terminals (
) clean at all times. Dirty
terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and camera. Polish the
terminals with a tissue or a dry cloth before charging or using the battery pack.
• Do not cover the compact power adapter with anything, such as a tablecloth, cushion
or blanket, when it is charging. Heat will build up internally and possibly lead to fire.
• Do not charge batteries other than Battery Pack BP-511 or Battery Pack BP-512 with
the supplied equipment. It could damage the camera.
• The battery pack continues to discharge a small amount when left in the camera even
with the power turned off. This shortens the battery life. Remove it from the camera,
attach the supplied terminal adapter and store it at room temperature (30ºC/86ºF
or less) in a dry place. Charge it before use.
• Even charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. You are advised to charge
the battery on the day of use, or one day before, to ensure a full charge. Since storing a
fully charged battery pack for long periods of time (about 1 year) can shorten its
lifecycle or affect performance, you are recommended to use the battery pack in the
camera until the LB symbol displays and to store it at room temperature (30º C/86º F or
less). If you do not use the battery pack for long periods of time, charge it fully and
discharge it fully in the camera at least once a year before returning it to storage.
• The camera consumes the battery charge when the power is on even when a function
is not being used. To conserve the battery charge, be particularly attentive in turning the
power off.
• Although the battery pack’s maximum operating range is 0 to 40º C (32 to 104º F), the
optimal range is 10 to 30º C (50 to 86º F). At cold temperatures, such as those
experienced on ski hills, performance will temporarily decline, reducing the usable time
before recharging.
• If the usable time of a battery pack diminishes substantially even when fully charged, it
should be replaced.

CF Card Handling Precautions
• CF cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend, force, or subject
them to shocks or vibration.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or alter a CF card.
• Moving a CF card rapidly between temperature extremes may cause condensation
to form in the card, leading to potential malfunctions. To avoid condensation
formation, 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, put it aside until the water droplets have
evaporated completely.
• Place the CF card in the supplied case for storage.
• Do not use or store CF cards in the following types of locations.
- Locations subject to dust or sand
- Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures
Microdrives are a recording medium with a hard disk. Their merits are a large
capacity and a low price per megabite of capacity. However, they are relatively
more susceptible to vibrations and shocks than CF cards, which use durable flash
memories. Please be careful, therefore, not to subject the camera to vibrations or
shocks when using a microdrive, especially while recording or replaying.

The Parallax Phenomenon
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 parallax 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 with an Off-Center AF Frame Selected
You should always use the LCD monitor to compose images when you have
selected an off-center AF frame (p. 68).

• The flash will fire twice. A pre-flash will fire and will be followed by the main flash.
The pre-flash is used by the camera to obtain the subject’s exposure data so that
the main flash can be set to the optimal intensity for the shot.
About the Red-Eye Reduction Function
• Light reflecting back from eyes can make them appear red when the flash is used
in dark areas. Under these conditions, use the red-eye reduction mode. For this
mode to be effective, the subject must be looking right at the red-eye reduction
lamp. Try asking them to look directly at the lamp. Even better results can be
obtained by shooting with the lens set to the wide angle, increasing the lighting in
indoor settings or approaching closer to the subject.

Changing the File Format
The recording file format can be switched to the RAW format. With the standard
JPEG file format, the camera processes images after capturing them to produce
optimal results. This format compresses images so that more can be stored on a
single CF card. However, the compression is irreversible, meaning that the original
image data cannot be recovered after processing. In contrast, the RAW format
records the image data as captured by the camera’s CCD without further
processing. RAW images are compressed, but the compression is reversible* so that
a high-quality image can be obtained from the decompressed file without any loss
of image quality. In addition, although a RAW file is larger than an equivalent JPEG
file, it is still only approximately one-quarter the size** of an uncompressed RGB
TIFF format file, making it relatively compact.
With standard uncompressed file formats, such as RGB TIFF, images are processed
in the camera and require further processing by retouching software to adjust the
image parameters, which reduces image quality. With the RAW format, however,
the original data can be used in special software* to adjust the image parameters
(white balance, contrast, sharpness and saturation) making it possible to maintain
the image quality while making changes. The resolution (2272 x 1704) and
compression settings cannot be adjusted for these images.
* The bundled software can be used to open or adjust the parameters of images recorded in the RAW file format.
Please consult the Software Starter Guide for details.

When you set the shutter speed in the shutter speed-priority AE mode, the camera

• The nature of CCD image sensors 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. Nevertheless, a certain amount of
processing time may be required before the next image can be shot.
• The aperture presets to F8.0 when the shutter speed is set to 1/1000 second.
• Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at low shutter speeds. If the
camera shake warning appears in the center of the LCD monitor, secure the
camera to a tripod to shoot.
Shutter Speed Display
The shutter speeds from 1000 to 4 in the display are actually the denominator of a

Replacing the Date Battery
If the Set Date/Time menu appears when you turn on the camera power, the
date battery charge is low and the date and time settings have been lost. Please
replace the battery with a generic CR2016 lithium coin battery with the following
procedures.
Please note that the first date battery may appear to expire relatively quickly after you
purchase the camera. This is because it is installed in the camera at the point of
manufacture, not when you make the purchase.
