P Program AE

Shooting Mode

The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture value to match the brightness of the subject.

- When a correct exposure cannot be obtained, the shutter speed and aperture values are shown in red on the LCD monitor when the shutter button is pressed halfway. Use the following shooting methods to obtain the correct exposure and make them show in white.

• Using the flash
• Changing the ISO speed
• Changing the metering method

Tv Setting the Shutter Speed

Shooting Mode

When you set the shutter speed, the camera automatically selects an aperture value to match the brightness of the subject. Faster shutter speeds allow you to catch an instantaneous image of a moving subject, while slower speeds create a flowing effect and allow you to shoot without a flash in dark areas.

• If the aperture value is shown in red, the image is underexposed (insufficient light) or overexposed (too much light). Use the ◆ or button to adjust the shutter speed until the aperture value shows in white.
• 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. (However, a certain amount of processing time may be required before the next image can be shot.)
• 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. (However, a certain amount of processing time may be required before the next image can be shot.)

● The aperture value and shutter speed change according to the zoom state as follows

	Shooting Mode	Aperture Value	Shutter Speed (seconds)
Maximum Wide Angle	M	f/2.8 – 3.5 15	- 1/1500
	Tv	f/2.8 – 3.5 15	- 1/1250

Av Setting the Aperture

Shooting Mode

The aperture adjusts the amount of light entering through the lens. When you set the aperture value, the camera automatically selects a shutter speed to match the brightness.

Selecting a lower aperture value (opening the aperture) allows you to blur the background and create a beautiful portrait. A higher aperture value (closing it) brings the entire range from foreground to background into focus. The larger the aperture value, the greater the range of the image brought into clear focus.

• If the shutter speed is shown in red, the image is underexposed (insufficient light) or overexposed (too much light). Adjust the aperture value using the ◆ or button until the shutter speed display turns to white.
• Some aperture values may not be available with certain zoom positions (p. 41).

In this mode, the shutter speed range with synchronized flash is 1/60 second to 1/500 second. The aperture value setting may therefore be changed automatically to match the synchronized flash speed even if its value was set previously.

Aperture Value Display

● The larger the aperture value, the smaller the lens aperture.

- When you press the shutter button halfway, the difference between the standard exposure* and the selected exposure appears on the LCD monitor. If the difference is more than ±2 stops, “-2” or “+2” appears in red.

* Standard exposure levels are calculated by measuring light according to the currently selected metering mode.

• If you wish to change the exposure, select shutter speed or aperture using the button, then adjust the value using the button.
• If the zoom is adjusted after these values are set, the aperture value may change in accordance with the zoom position (p. 41).
• The LCD monitor's brightness matches the selected shutter speed and aperture value.

When you select a fast shutter speed or shoot a subject in a dark place, the image will always be bright if the flash is set to (Flash on, with red-eye reduction) or (Flash on).

It evaluates complex lighting conditions, such as the position of the subject, the brightness, the direct light, and the backlighting, and adjusts the settings to the correct exposure for the main subject.
	Center Weighted Average	Averages the light metered from the entire frame, but gives greater weight to the subject matter at the center.
	Spot Meters the area within the spot AE point frame.
	Center	Locks the spot AE point frame to the center of the LCD monitor.
	AF Point	Moves the spot AE point to the same position as the selected AF frame/Locks the spot AE point to the center of the LCD monitor

Battery Handling

Battery Charge

The following icon and message will display.

Battery charge is low. If using the camera for an extended period, replace the batteries as soon as possible.

Change the batteries

Batteries are fully depleted and the camera can no longer operate. Replace the batteries immediately.

Battery Handling Precautions

• This camera uses AA-size alkaline batteries or Canon AA-size NiMH batteries (sold separately).
  While it is possible to use AA-size nickel-cadmium batteries, performance is unreliable and their use is not recommended.
• Since the performance of alkaline batteries may differ according to brand, the operating time of the batteries you purchase may not be as long as the batteries that came with the camera.
• When using the camera under low temperature conditions or over long periods, you are recommend to use of Canon AA-size NiMH batteries (sold separately).
  Camera operating time may shorten at low temperatures when alkaline batteries are used. Also due to their specifications, alkaline batteries may expire faster than NiMH batteries.
  ● Never mix unused and partially used batteries.
  The partially used batteries may leak.
• Do not install the batteries with their terminals (⊕ and)⊖ reversed.

• Do not mix batteries of different types or from different manufacturers.

• Before installing the batteries, wipe the battery terminals well with a dry cloth.
  If the battery terminals are soiled with oil from one's skin or other dirt, the number of recordable images may be considerably diminished, or reduced usage time.

• At low temperatures, battery performance may be reduced and the low battery icon (i) may appear earlier than usual.
  Under these conditions, restore the battery performance by warming it in a pocket immediately before use.
• Do not put the batteries into a pocket together with metallic items such as a key ring.
  The batteries may be short circuited.
• When not using the camera for long periods, remove the batteries from the camera and store them separately.
  If the batteries are left inside the camera, the camera may become damaged from battery leakage.

WARNING

Never use damaged batteries or batteries whose outer seal is completely or partially missing or peeled off, as there is risk that such batteries may leak, overheat, or burst. Always check the seals on store-bought batteries before loading them, as some batteries may come with defective seals. Do not use batteries with defective seals.

Never use batteries that look like this.

Batteries with all or part of the seal (electrical insulation sheath) peeled off.

The positive electrode (plus terminal) is flat.

The negative terminal is correctly formed (protruding from the metal base), but the seal does not extend up over the edge of the metal base.

Handling the Memory Card

SD memory card or SDHC memory card Write Protect Tab

Slide the switch down (you can protect the images and other data on the card)

Writing/Erasing Possible Writing/Erasing Impossible

Cautions When Handling

● Memory cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend them, apply force to them, or subject them to shocks or vibration.
- Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the memory card.
- Do not allow dirt, water or foreign objects to contact the terminals on the back of the card. Do not touch the terminals with your hands or metal objects.
- Do not peel away the original label on the memory card or cover it with another label or sticker.
- When writing on the memory card, do not use a pencil or ball-point pen. Only use a soft point pen (e.g. felt-tip pen).
- Do not use or store memory cards in the following locations.
- Locations subject to dust or sand
- Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures
- Since some or all of the data recorded on the memory card may be corrupted or erased by electrical noise, static electricity or card malfunction, making a backup copy of important data is recommended.

Formatting

• Please note that formatting (initializing) an memory card erases all data, including protected images.
• You are recommended to use memory cards that have been formatted in your camera.
• The card supplied with the camera may be used without further formatting.
• When the camera is malfunctioning, a corrupted memory card might be the cause. Reformatting the memory card may solve the problem.
• When a non-Canon brand memory card is malfunctioning, reformatting it may solve the problem.
• Memory cards formatted in other cameras, computers, or peripheral devices may not operate correctly in this camera. When that happens, reformat the memory card with this camera.
• If formatting in the camera does not work properly, turn the camera off and re-insert the memory card. Then turn the camera back on and format again.
• Be careful when transferring or disposing of a memory card. Formatting or erasing the data on a memory card merely changes the file management information on the card and does not ensure that its contents are completely deleted.
  When disposing of a memory card, take precautions, such as physically destroying the card, to prevent personal information leaks.

Using the Power Kits (Sold Separately)

Using Rechargeable Batteries (Battery and Charger Kit CBK4-300)

This kit includes a battery charger and four rechargeable AA-size NiMH (nickel metal hydride) batteries. Charge batteries as shown below. Recharging is also possible using two batteries.

• After inserting the batteries, plug the charger (CB-5AH) into an outlet, or attach the power cord to the charger (CB-5AHE, not shown) and plug the other end into an outlet.
- Do not insert and charge additional batteries once charging has begun.
- The charge indicator blinks while charging, then remains lit when charging is finished.

• The CB-5AH/CB-5AHE battery charger can only be used to charge Canon AA-size NiMH batteries NB-3AH and NB-2AH. Please do not attempt to charge other type of battery.
• Do not mix batteries with different purchase dates or different charge states. When recharging batteries, always recharge both of them at the same time.
• Do not attempt to recharge fully charged batteries, as doing so may reduce or impair battery performance. Also, do not charge batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
• Do not recharge batteries in enclosed areas that tend to retain heat.
• Do not recharge the batteries until the LCD monitor displays the “Change the batteries” message. Repeatedly recharging batteries before they become fully depleted may cause batteries to lose capacity.

- Wipe the battery terminals well with a dry cloth in the following situations, as the terminals may be soiled with oil from one's skin or other dirt:

- If the battery usage time has considerably diminished

- If the number of recordable images has considerably diminished

- When charging the batteries (insert and remove the batteries two or three times before charging)

- When charging completes in a space of a few minutes (the battery charger indicator remains lit)

- You may not be able to fully charge the batteries due to their specifications right after purchase or after long periods of nonuse. If this happens, after fully charging them, use the batteries until their charge is depleted. After doing this several times, battery performance will be restored.

- If you store batteries for a long period of time (about 1 year), it is recommended that you fully deplete the batteries in the camera and to then store them at room temperature (0 to 30°C/32 to 90°F) in low humidity. Storing them in a fully charged condition can shorten their lifespan or degrade their performance.

Again, if you do not use batteries for more than 1 year, fully charge them once a year and deplete them in the camera before storing them.

- If the battery usage time has become considerably low despite wiping the terminals and charging them until the battery charger indicator remains lit, this may indicate that the batteries have reached the end of their lifespan.

Replace them with new batteries. If you are purchasing new batteries, look for Canon AA-size NiMH batteries.

● Leaving batteries in the camera or charger may result in damage from battery leakage. When not in use, remove the batteries from the camera or charger and store them in a cool, dry location.

- It takes approximately 4 hours 40 minutes for the charger to fully recharge the batteries after they have been depleted.

When two batteries are placed on each side of the charger, recharging will take approximately two hours (as determined by testing at Canon facilities).

Charge batteries in an environment where the temperature is in the range of 0 to 35°C (32 to 95°F).

● The charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and to the battery charge state.
- The battery charger may emit noise while charging. This is not a malfunction.
● Battery/Charger Kit CBK4-200 can also be used.

Using the AC Adapter Kit ACK800

It is best to power the camera with AC Adapter Kit ACK800 (sold separately) when you are using it for long periods of time or connecting it to a computer.

This flash is used to supplement the camera's built-in flash when the subject is too far away for proper illumination. Use the following procedures to affix the camera and High-Power Flash to the supporting bracket. Please read the instructions accompanying the flash along with this explanation.

● The High-Power Flash will not fire in the following situations:

- When shooting in Mode

- When Flash Sync is set to [2nd-curtain]

- When Flash Adjust is set to [Manual]

- The flash charge time will lengthen as the battery charge gets weaker. Always set the power/mode switch to [OFF] when you finish using the flash.

- Be careful not to touch the flash window or sensor windows with your fingers while the flash is in use.

● The flash may fire if another flash is being used in close proximity.

● The High-Power Flash may not fire outdoors in daylight or when there are no reflective items.

- For continuous shooting, although the flash fires for the first shot, it does not fire for subsequent shots.

- Fasten the attachment screws securely so that they do not loosen. Failure to do so may lead to the dropping of the camera and flash resulting in damage to both.

• Before attaching the bracket to the flash, check that the lithium battery (CR123A or DL123) is installed.
• To illuminate the subjects properly, install the flash so that it is up against the side of the camera and parallel with the camera's front panel.
  ● A tripod can be used even when the flash is attached.

■Batteries

● Charge becomes Severely Limited

If the battery usage time has considerably diminished, wipe the battery terminals well with a dry cloth. The terminals may be dirty from fingerprints.

● Usage in Cold Temperatures

Get a spare generic lithium battery (CR123A or DL123). You are recommended to place the spare battery in your pocket to warm it up before switching it for the battery in the flash.

● Non-Use over Extended Periods

Leaving batteries in the High-Power Flash could allow the battery fluid to leak, damaging the product. Remove the batteries from the High-Power Flash and store them in a cool, dry place.

Replacing the Date Battery

If the Date/Time menu appears when the camera power is turned on, the date battery charge is low and the date and time settings have been lost. Please purchase a lithium coin battery (CR1220) and replace it as follows.

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.

Be particularly careful to keep the date batteries out of the reach of children. Seek medical assistance immediately if a child swallows a battery since corrosive battery fluids can damage the stomach or intestinal walls.

1 Confirm that the camera is turned off.
2 Slide the memory card slot / battery cover lock and open the cover.
3 Hook your nail onto the date battery holder and lightly pull it up.

6 Insert a new battery with the (-) side facing up.
7 Replace the battery holder and close the memory card slot/battery cover.
8 When the Date/Time menu appears, set the date and time (Basic Guide p. 7).

After purchasing the camera and turning on the power for the first time, although the Date/Time menu will appear, you do not need to replace the date battery.

If you ever dispose of your camera, first remove the date battery for recycling according to the recycling system of your country.

Camera Care and Maintenance

Never use thinners, benzine, synthetic cleansers or water to clean the camera. These substances may distort or damage the equipment.

Camera Body

Gently wipe dirt off the camera body with a soft cloth or eyeglass lens wiper.

Lens

First use a lens blower brush to remove dust and dirt, then remove any remaining dirt by wiping the lens lightly with a soft cloth.

Never use synthetic cleansers on the camera body or lens. If dirt remains, contact the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk as listed on the rear of the European Warranty System (EWS) Booklet.

Viewfinder and LCD Monitor

Use a lens blower brush to remove dust and dirt. If necessary, gently wipe with a soft cloth or an eyeglass lens wiper to remove stubborn dirt.

Never rub or press strongly on the LCD monitor. These actions may damage it or lead to other problems.
