Safety Precautions
Battery
• Use only recommended batteries.
• Do not place the batteries near or in direct flame.
• Do not let the batteries come into contact with water (e.g. sea water) or other
liquids.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the batteries.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the batteries to severe impacts.
This may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the
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.
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.
• Avoid using, placing or storing the camera in the following places.
- Places subject to strong sunlight.
- Places subject to temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F).
- Humid or dusty areas.
These could cause leakage, overheating or an explosion of the batteries, resulting in
electrical shock, fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also cause
deformation of the casing.
• The slideshow transition effects may cause discomfort when viewed for
prolonged periods.
• When using the flash, be careful not to cover it with your fingers or clothing.
This could result in burns or damage to the flash.

Safety Precautions
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.
• Remove and store the batteries when you are not using the camera.
If the batteries are 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.
• When carrying the camera in a bag, close the LCD monitor to face inward to
ensure that hard objects to not come into contact with the screen.
Failure to do so may cause malfunctions or damage the LCD monitor.

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.

● Press the nbutton.
Choose [Format].

● 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.

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.

• The maximum flash synchro shutter speed is 1/250 second.
• The flash will automatically adjust its output when [Flash Mode] is set to
[Auto]. Flash exposure compensation and safety FE can be set when the
flash is set to auto exposure. However, when performing flash exposure
compensation with the camera, make sure to set the flash exposure
compensation on the flash to [+0].
• The flash output can be adjusted on the camera or the flash if [Flash
Mode] is set to [Manual]. With Speedlite 220EX and 270EX, settings
cannot be made on the flash. In Dmode, you can set the flash output
with the camera even if the flash unit is set to E-TTL automatic flash
exposure compensation. [E-TTL] will display on the flash, but the flash will
fire manually. Also, if the flash compensation value is changed on the
flash, the flash output will also change.

Handling Precautions
Equipment
• 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.
Memory Cards
• A memory card is a high-precision electronic device. Do not bend, apply
force or subject it to strong impacts. Doing so may corrupt image data
recorded on the memory card.
• Do not spill liquids on the memory card. Do not touch the memory card’s
terminals with your hands or metallic objects.
• Do not store memory cards near a TV, speakers or other devices that
generate magnetic fields or static electricity. Doing so may corrupt image
data recorded on the memory card.
• Do not store memory cards in hot, humid or dusty locations.
