● Disconnect the battery charger and compact power adapter from both the camera and the power outlet after recharging or when they are not in use to avoid fire and other hazards.● Do not place anything, such as tablecloths, carpets, bedding or cushions, on top of the battery charger while it is charging.Continued use over a long period may cause the units to overheat and distort, resulting in fire.

● Use only the specified battery charger to charge the battery.● The battery charger and compact power adapter are designed for exclusive use with your camera. Do not use it with other products or batteries.There is a risk of overheating and distortion which could result in fire or electrical shock.

● Before you discard a battery, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators to prevent direct contact with other objects.Contact with the metallic components of other materials in waste containers may lead to fire or explosions.

Others

● Do not trigger the flash in close proximity to human or animal eyes. Exposure to the intense light produced by the flash may damage eyesight.In particular, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away from infants when using the flash.

● Keep objects that are sensitive to magnetic fields (such as credit cards) away from the speaker of the camera.Such items may lose data or stop working.

Cautions

Equipment

● Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong impacts or shocks that could lead to injury or damage the equipment when wearing or holding it by the strap.

● Do not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas. ● Do not allow metal objects (such as pins or keys) or dirt to contact the charger terminals or plug. Such conditions could lead to fire, electrical shock or other damage.

The nature of CCD image sensors is such that noise in the recorded image increases at long 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. A certain amount of processing time, however, may be required before the next image can be shot.

• Use the LCD monitor to confirm that the image was recorded at the desired brightness.
• Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at low shutter speeds. Shoot with the camera attached to a tripod.

You can shoot images with the original colors transformed. This can be performed on movies as well as still images, allowing you to enjoy photographing with image or movie effects.

However, depending on the shooting conditions, the images may appear rough or you may not get the expected color. Before you try to photograph important subjects, we highly recommend that you shoot trial images and check the results.

If you set [Save Original] (p. 64) to [On] when shooting a still image, you can record the original image as well the transformed one.

	Color Accent	Use this option to have only the color specified in the LCD monitor remain and to transform all others to black and white.
	Color Swap	Use this option to transform a color specified in the LCD monitor into another. The specified color can only be swapped into one other color, multiple colors cannot be chosen.

The ISO speed will rise depending on the shooting conditions, which may increase the "noise" in the image.

When [Save Original] is Set to [On]

• Only the transformed image displays in the LCD monitor while shooting in the Color Accent or Color Swap mode.
• The transformed image is reviewed in the LCD monitor after shooting in the Color Accent or Color Swap mode. If you erase the image at this point, the original image is erased along with the transformed image. Exercise adequate caution before deleting a file.
• Since two images are recorded with each shot, the number of shots remaining is approximately half the number displayed when this function is set to [Off].

Raise the ISO speed to use a fast shutter speed when you wish to reduce the effects of camera shake or avoid blurry subjects, or to turn the flash off when shooting in a dark area.

1

Press the ISO button and use the ↑ or ↓ button to switch settings.

• You can advance to the next option each time you press the button: ISO AUTO / ISO 80 / ISO 100 / ISO 200 / ISO 400 / ISO 800 / ISO 1600.
• Selecting ISO AUTO (Auto) sets the optimal ISO speed according to the light level when shooting. Since the ISO speed setting will automatically be

ISO AUTO Auto 200 100 80 HI AUTO

raised in dark places, the camera will select a faster shutter speed and reduce the chances of camera shake.

- Selecting ISO FI (High ISO Auto)* sets the sensitivity to a higher value than the ISO AUTO setting. This sets the shutter speed faster, reducing the potential for camera shake or blurry subjects compared with the ISO AUTO setting.

* Noise in the recorded image may be higher than for the ISO AUTO setting.

- When in (Auto) shooting mode, only ISO AUTO or ISO HI can be selected.

The camera automatically applies noise suppression processing when you shoot at a high ISO speed.

Setting the Auto Rotate Function

Shooting Mode

Grid of 16 camera and medical icons including camera, mask, letter, 'A', 'S', and various symbols with labels like 'ISO 3200' and '1024'

Your camera is equipped with an Intelligent Orientation sensor that detects the orientation of an image shot with the camera held vertically and automatically rotates it to the correct orientation when viewing it in the LCD monitor.

See Menus and Settings (p. 23).

*Default setting.

- When shooting and the Auto Rotate function is set to [On] and the LCD monitor is set to the detailed display mode, the 📷 (normal), 🔒 (right end is down) or 🔒 (left end is down) will appear in the display.

Clock Display < 5 sec. Format... 30.0MB File Numbering Continuous Auto Rotate On Off

• This function may not operate correctly when the camera is pointed straight up or down. Check that the arrow 🔗 is pointing in the right direction and if it is not, then set the Auto Rotate function to [Off].
• Even if the Auto Rotate function is set to [On], the orientation of images downloaded to a computer will depend upon the software used to download the images.

- When the camera is held vertically to shoot, the Intelligent Orientation sensor judges the upper end to be "up" and the lower end to be "down". It then regulates the optimal white balance, exposure and focus for vertical photography. This function operates regardless of the on/off status of the Auto Rotate function.

Battery Handling

Battery Charge

The following icon and message will display.

Battery charge is low. Recharge it as soon as possible it will be used for an extended period.

Change the battery pack

Battery charge is insufficient to operate the camera. Replace the battery immediately.

Battery Handling Precautions

- Keep the battery terminals clean at all times.

Dirty terminals may cause poor contact between the battery and camera. Polish the terminals with a soft cotton swab before charging or using the battery.

- At low temperatures, battery performance may be reduced and the low battery icon (☐) may appear earlier than usual.

Under these conditions, revive the battery by warming it in a pocket immediately before use.

● However, ensure that there are no metallic items in the pocket that could cause a short circuit, such as a key ring, etc.

The battery may be short circuiting.

- Do not allow any metal objects such as key rings to touch the () and () terminals (Fig. A). To carry the battery or store it during periods of disuse, always replace the terminal cover (Fig. B).

These conditions can damage the battery.

Spent Battery
Attach it the opposite way to Fig. C.

- You are recommended to use it in the camera until it is completely discharged and to store it in an indoor location with low relative humidity and between the temperatures of 0 – 30 °C (32 – 86 °F).

Storing a fully charged battery for long periods of time (about one year) may shorten its life cycle or affect its performance. If you do not use the battery for long periods of time, charge it fully and discharge it fully in the camera about once a year before returning it to storage.

Charging the Battery

• Since this is a lithium-ion battery, you need not completely discharge it before recharging.

• It takes approximately 2 hours 5 minutes to fully charge the battery from a depleted state (based on Canon's testing standards).

• Charging it within a temperature range of 5 – 40 °C (41 – 104 °F) is recommended.

• Charge times may vary according to the ambient temperature and the battery's charge state.

- You are advised to charge the battery on the day of use, or one day before, to ensure a full charge.

Even charged batteries continue to discharge naturally.

- If the performance of the battery diminishes substantially even when it is fully charged, its life has been exceeded and it should be replaced.

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 camera 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.

- Data on a card is not completely erased even when the card is formatted or images are erased because these processes merely change the file management data. Please note this fact when transferring ownership or disposing of cards. Take care to destroy the card when disposing of it to prevent the leakage of personal data.

Using an AC Adapter Kit (Sold Separately)

It is best to power the camera with AC Adapter Kit ACK-DC30 (sold separately) when you are using it for long periods of time or connecting it to a computer.

Turn the camera power off before connecting or disconnecting the AC adapter.

1

Connect the power cord to the compact power adapter first and then plug the other end into the power outlet.

Using an Externally Mounted Flash (Sold Separately)

High-Power Flash HF-DC1

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.

Canon Tripod Sockets Bracket (Comes with the flash)

• 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.

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 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.
