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.

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

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.

Copy the images from the memory card to a computer or other device before low  
level formatting.  
Low level formatting may take longer than standard formatting (p. 22),  
since all recorded data are erased.  
You can stop a low level format of a memory card by choosing [Stop].  
When stopping low level formatting, the data will be erased but the  
memory card can be used without problem.

Shooting in RAW  
A RAW image is raw data recorded with nearly no deterioration in image quality  
resulting from image processing inside the camera. You can use the supplied  
software to broadly adjust the image with minimal loss in image quality.

Differences between RAW images and JPEG images.  
JPEG Images (  
)
When JPEG images are recorded, the imagre prosed inside the camera for  
optimum image quality, and also comprelow a lger number of images to  
be stored on the memory card. However, tpression ocess is irreversible,  
meaning that the raw data canncoveonce it has been compressed.  
Moreover, the image processina dterioration in quality.  
RAW Images (  
)
A RAW image is raw ata recordarly no deterioration in image quality  
resulting from image rocessing inside camera. This data cannot be used as is for  
viewing or printing on compur. The supplied software (Digital Photo Professional)  
must first be used to coert timage data to a JPEG or TIFF file. When converting  
the image data, you can adjust the image with minimal deterioration in image quality.  
Simultaneously Recording RAW and JPEG Images  
Two images, a RAW image and a JPEG image will be recorded with each shot.  
Since a JPEG image is also recorded, you can print the image or view it on a  
computer without using the supplied software.  
The file extension for RAW images is ".CR2", and the extension for JPEG  
images is ".JPG". The JPEG images will be recorded with  
recording  
pixels with  
image compression.

of the subject (p. 84).

(p. 96).  
When shutter speeds of 1.3 seconds or slower are used, images are

separately), troubleshooting tips and contans lists of functions.  
The index also appears at the end.

After you finish, turn off the camera and  
unplug the power cord from the power  
outlet.  
Do not unplug the plug and power cord with the camera turned on. This  
could erase images you have taken or damage the camera.  
The AC adapter kit can also be used when abroad  
The AC adapter kit 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 devices such as electrical transformers for foreign travel  
because they will cause malfunctions.

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. 173).  
Set the [AF-assist Beam] to [On] (p. 150).  
Confirm that functions which you do not intend to use (macro, etc.) are not set.  
Shoot using the focus lock or AF lock (pp. 82, 86).  
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.

Set the [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] (p. 151). 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.
