Canon

Attach the cover to a charged battery so that the ▲ mark is visible.

  • How to store the battery for long periods. Deplete and remove the battery from the camera. Attach the terminal cover and store the battery. Storing a battery without depleting it for long periods of time (about one year) may shorten its life span or affect its performance.
  • The battery charger can also be used when abroad. The charger 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.
  • If the battery is quickly depleted even after charging, it has reached the end of its life span. Purchase a new battery.

When shooting, the camera detects if it is held vertically or horizontally, and adjusts settings accordingly for the best shot. It also detects orientation during playback, so you can hold the camera in either orientation and it will automatically rotate images for correct viewing.

This function may not operate correctly when the camera is pointed straight up or down.

Display for Shooting in Dark Conditions during Shooting

The display automatically brightens when shooting in dark conditions, 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. Noise may appear and the movement of the subject on the screen may appear somewhat jagged. This has no effect on the recorded image.

Overexposure Warning during Playback

In “Detailed Information Display” (p. 43), overexposed areas of the image flash on the screen.

Histogram
High Low Dark ←→ Bright

The graph that appears in “Detailed Information Display” (p. 43), and “Shoot While Checking the Histogram” (p. 77) is called the histogram. The histogram shows the distribution and amount of brightness of an image. When the graph approaches the right side, the image is bright, but when it approaches the left side, the image is dark, and in this way you can check the exposure.

The indicators on the back of the camera (p. 41) will light or blink under the following conditions.

Formatting Memory Cards

You should use this camera to format a new memory card, or a memory card that has been used with other devices, before using it. 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.

About formatting

• The supplied memory card has already been formatted.
- When the [Memory card error] message appears, or when the camera does not work correctly, formatting the memory card may solve the problem. Copy the images from the memory card to a computer or other device before formatting.

CANON IXUS 980 IS - About formatting - 1

  • 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 deleted. 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.
  • When audio (p. 135) is recorded to the memory card, 📋 will display in the right hand corner of the screen in Step 2. Formatting the card will delete audio as well.

CANON IXUS 980 IS - About formatting - 2

  • The total capacity of the memory card displayed in the formatting screen may be less than indicated on the memory card.
  • Low level formatting may take longer than standard formatting, since all recorded data are erased.
  • You can stop a low level format of a memory card by selecting [Stop]. You can still use a memory card without problem when formatting is halted, but its data will be erased.

Power Saving Function (Auto Power Down)

To save battery power, the camera shuts down automatically when it is not operated for a certain time.

Power Saving during Shooting

About 1 minute after the camera is not operated, the monitor will turn off. After about 3 more minutes, the lens will retract and the power turns off. When the monitor has turned off but the lens has not retracted yet, pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 20) turns on the monitor and shooting can be continued.
