Preliminary Notes and Legal  
Information  
Take and review some test shots initially to make sure the  
images were recorded correctly. Please note that Canon Inc., its  
subsidiaries and affiliates, and its distributors are not liable for  
any consequential damages arising from any malfunction of a  
camera or accessory, including memory cards, that result in the  
failure of an image to be recorded or to be recorded in a way  
that is machine readable.  
Images recorded by the camera are intended for personal use.  
Refrain from unauthorized recording that infringes on copyright  
law, and note that even for personal use, photography may  
contravene copyright or other legal rights at some performances  
or exhibitions, or in some commercial settings.  
The camera warranty is valid only in the area of purchase. In  
case of camera problems while abroad, return to the area of  
purchase before contacting a Canon Customer Support Help  
Desk.  
Although the LCD monitor is produced under extremely high-  
precision manufacturing conditions and more than 99.99% of  
the pixels meet design specifications, in rare cases some pixels  
may be defective or may appear as red or black dots. This does  
not indicate camera damage or affect recorded images.  
The LCD monitor may be covered with a thin plastic film for  
protection against scratches during shipment. If covered,  
remove the film before using the camera.  
When the camera is used over an extended period, it may  
become warm. This does not indicate damage.

shutter button halfway down, and once the subject is in focus,  
press the button all the way down to shoot.  
In this manual, shutter button operations are described as  
pressing the button halfway or all the way down.  
1 Press halfway. (Press  
lightly to focus.)  
zzPress the shutter button  
halfway. The camera beeps  
twice, and AF frames are  
displayed around image areas  
in focus.

pressing the shutter button halfway.  
Length of shutter sound playback varies depending on  
the time required for the shot. It may take longer in some  
shooting scenes, and images will be blurry if you move the  
camera (or the subject moves) before the shutter sound  
ends.

Using an Eye-Fi Card  
Before using an Eye-Fi card, always confirm that local use is  
permitted (=3).  
Inserting a prepared Eye-Fi card enables automatic wireless  
transfer of images to a computer or uploading to a photo-sharing  
website.  
Images are transferred by the Eye-Fi card. Refer to the card’s user  
manual or contact the manufacturer for instructions on preparing  
and using cards or resolving transfer problems.  
When using an Eye-Fi card, keep the following points in  
mind.  
- Cards may continue to transmit radio waves even when  
[Eye-Fi trans.] is set to [Disable] (=218). Remove the  
Eye-Fi card before entering hospitals, aircraft, or other  
areas where transmission is prohibited.  
- When troubleshooting image transfer issues, check  
the card and computer settings. For details, refer to the  
card’s user manual.  
- Poor Eye-Fi connections may cause image transfer to  
take a long time, and transfer may be interrupted in some  
cases.  
- Eye-Fi cards may become hot, due to their transfer  
functions.  
- Battery power will be consumed faster than in normal  
use.  
- Camera operation may become sluggish. To resolve this,  
try setting [Eye-Fi trans.] to [Disable].

Troubleshooting  
If you think there is a problem with the camera, first check the  
following. If the items below do not solve your problem, contact a  
Canon Customer Support Help Desk.  
Power  
Nothing happens when the power button is pressed.  
Confirm that the battery pack is charged (=21).  
Confirm that the battery pack is inserted facing the correct way (=24).  
Confirm that the memory card/battery cover is fully closed (=25).  
Dirty battery terminals reduce battery performance. Try cleaning the  
terminals with a cotton swab and reinserting the battery pack a few times.  
The battery pack runs out of power quickly.  
Battery performance decreases at low temperatures. Try warming the  
battery pack a little by putting it in your pocket, for example, ensuring that  
the terminals do not touch any metal objects.  
If these measures do not help and the battery pack still runs out of power  
soon after charging, it has reached the end of its life. Purchase a new  
battery pack.  
The lens is not retracted.  
Do not open the memory card/battery cover while the camera is on. Close  
the cover, turn the camera on, and then turn it off again (=25).  
The battery pack is swollen.  
Battery swelling is normal and does not pose any safety concerns.  
However, if battery swelling prevents the battery pack from fitting in the  
camera, contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.  
Display on a TV  
Camera images look distorted or not displayed on a TV  
(=189).

washed-out.  
Shoot within flash range (=258).  
Lower the flash and set the flash mode to [!] (=51).  
Adjust brightness by using flash exposure compensation or changing the  
flash output level (=119, 128).  
White dots or similar image artifacts appear in flash shots.  
This is caused by light from the flash reflecting off dust or airborne  
particles.  
Shots look grainy.  
Lower the ISO speed (=99).  
Subjects are affected by red-eye (=6 8 ).  
Set [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] (=75) to activate the red-eye reduction  
lamp (=5) in flash shots. Note that while the red-eye reduction lamp  
is on (for about one second), it is not possible to shoot, because the lamp  
is counteracting red-eye. For best results, have subjects look at the red-  
eye reduction lamp. Also try increasing the lighting in indoor scenes and  
shooting at closer range.  
Edit images using red-eye correction (=163).  
Recording to the memory card takes too long, or continuous  
shooting is slower.  
Use the camera to perform low-level formatting of the memory card  
(=178).  
Shooting settings or FUNC. menu settings are not available.  
Available setting items vary by shooting mode. Refer to “Functions  
Available in Each Shooting Mode”, “FUNC. Menu”, and “Shooting Tab

way (=24), contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.  
Insufficient space on card  
There is not enough free space on the memory card to shoot (=50,  
78, 94, 123) or edit images (=157 163). Either erase unneeded  
images (=149) or insert a memory card with enough free space

Invalid selection range  
When specifying a range for image selection (=146, 152, 210), you  
attempted to choose an initial image that was after the final image, or  
vice-versa.  
Exceeded selection limit  
More than 998 images were selected for Print List (=207) or Photobook  
Set-up (=213). Choose 998 images or less.  
Print List (=207) or Photobook Set-up (=213) settings could not be  
saved correctly. Reduce the number of selected images and try again.  
You attempted to choose more than 500 images in Protect (=143),  
Erase (=149), Favorites (=155), Print List (=207), or Photobook  
Set-up (=213).  
Communication error  
An excessive amount of images (approx. 1,000) on the memory card  
prevented printing or image transfer to a computer. To transfer the images,  
use a commercially available USB card reader. To print, insert the memory  
card directly into the printer card slot.  
Naming error!  
The folder could not be created or images could not be recorded,  
because the highest supported folder number (999) for storing images  
on the card has been reached and the highest supported image number  
(9999) for images in folders has been reached. On the [3] tab, change  
[File Numbering] to [Auto Reset] (=179), or format the memory card  
(=176).

Handling Precautions  
The camera is a high-precision electronic device. Avoid  
dropping it or subjecting it to strong impact.  
Never bring the camera near magnets, motors, or other devices  
that generate strong electromagnetic fields, which may cause  
malfunction or erase image data.  
If water droplets or dirt adheres to the camera or screen, wipe  
with a dry soft cloth, such as an eyeglass cloth. Do not rub hard  
or apply force.  
Never use cleaners containing organic solvents to clean the  
camera or screen.  
Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens. If cleaning is  
difficult, contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.  
To prevent condensation from forming on the camera after  
sudden temperature changes (when the camera is transferred  
from cold to warm environments), put the camera in an  
airtight, resealable plastic bag and let it gradually adjust to the  
temperature before removing it from the bag.  
If condensation does form on the camera, stop using it  
immediately. Continuing to use the camera in this state may  
damage it. Remove the battery pack and memory card, and  
wait until the moisture has evaporated before resuming use.  
Before long-term battery storage, use up the battery pack’s  
remaining charge, remove it from the camera, and store it in  
a plastic bag or similar container. Storing a partially charged  
battery pack over extended periods (about a year) may shorten  
its life or affect performance.

The values in the table are measured according to Canon standards and  
may change depending on the subject, memory card and camera settings.  
The values in the table are based on 4:3 aspect ratio. If the aspect ratio  
is changed (=66), more images can be shot because the data size  
per image will be smaller than with 4:3 images. However, since [ ] 16:9  
images have a setting of 1920 x 1080 pixels, their data size will be larger  
than 4:3 images.
