• Use only recommended power sources.

- Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the product.

- Avoid dropping or subjecting the product to severe impacts.

- To avoid the risk of injury, do not touch the interior of the product if it has been dropped or otherwise damaged.

- Stop using the product immediately if it emits smoke, a strange smell, or otherwise behaves abnormally.

- Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean the product.

- Do not let the product come into contact with water (e.g. sea water) or other liquids.

This could result in electrical shock or fire.

If liquids or foreign objects come into contact with the camera interior, immediately turn the camera off and remove the battery.

If the battery charger becomes wet, unplug it from the outlet and consult your camera distributor or a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

• Use only the recommended battery.
- Do not place the battery near or in direct flame.
- Unplug the power cord periodically, and using a dry cloth, wipe away any dust and dirt that has collected on the plug, the exterior of the power outlet, and the surrounding area.
- Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
- Do not use the equipment in a manner that exceeds the rated capacity of the electrical outlet or wiring accessories. Do not use if the power cord or plug are damaged, or not fully plugged into the outlet.
- Do not allow dirt or metal objects (such as pins or keys) to contact the terminals or plug.

The battery may explode or leak, resulting in electrical shock or fire. This could cause injury and damage the surroundings. In the event that a battery leaks and the battery electrolyte contacts eyes, mouth, skin or clothing, immediately flush with water.

- Turn the camera off in places where camera use is prohibited.

The electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the operation of electronic instruments and other devices. Exercise adequate caution when using the camera in places where use of electronic devices is restricted, such as inside airplanes and medical facilities.

- Do not play the supplied CD-ROM(s) in any CD player that does not support data CD-ROMs.

CANON Ixus 1100 HS - Warning - 1

Caution

Denotes the possibility of injury.

  • When holding the camera by the strap, be careful not to bang it, subject it to strong impacts or shocks, or let it get caught on other objects.
  • Be careful not to bump or push strongly on the lens.

This could lead to injury or damage the camera.

- 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 product 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 battery when you are not using the camera.

  • Do not place anything, such as cloth on top of the battery charger while it is charging.

Leaving the unit plugged in for a long period of time may cause it to overheat and distort, resulting in fire.

- Do not place the battery near pets.

Pets biting the battery could cause leakage, overheating or explosion, resulting in fire or damage.

- Do not sit down with the camera in your pocket.

Doing so may cause malfunctions or damage the screen.

What if...

• What if the battery develops a bulge?
This is a normal characteristic of the battery and does not indicate a problem. However, if the battery bulges to the point where it will no longer fit into the camera, please contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
• What if the battery is quickly depleted even after charging?
The battery has reached the end of its life span. Purchase a new battery.

CANON Ixus 1100 HS - What if... - 1

Using the battery and charger effectively

  • Charge the battery on the day, or the day before, it will be used.
    Charged batteries continue to discharge naturally even if they are not used.
    • 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 for long periods of time (about a year) without depleting it 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 electrical transformers for foreign travel as they will cause damage.

Formatting Memory Cards

Before you use a new memory card or one that has been formatted 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.

Before formatting an Eye-Fi card (p. 175), be sure to install the software contained on the card to a computer.

CANON Ixus 1100 HS - Format the memory card. - 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 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.

CANON Ixus 1100 HS - Format the memory card. - 2

  • The total capacity of the memory card displayed in the formatting screen may be less than indicated on the memory card.
  • Perform a low-level format (p. 155) of the memory card when the camera does not operate properly, the recording/reading speed of a memory card has dropped, when continuous shooting speed slows down, or when movie recording stops suddenly.

What if...

• What if the color and brightness of the images do not turn out as expected?
The scene icon (p. 184) that appears on the screen may not match the actual scene, and you may not obtain the expected results. If this happens, try shooting in P mode (p. 81).
- What if white and gray frames appear when you point the camera toward a subject?
A white frame appears on the face or subject that the camera detected as the main subject, while gray frames appear on other detected faces. The frames will follow the subjects within a certain range.
If the subject moves, however, the gray frames will disappear, leaving only the white frame.
• What if a frame does not appear on the subject you want to shoot?
The subject may not be detected, and frames may appear on the background. If this happens, try shooting in P mode (p. 81).

• What if a blue frame appears when you press the shutter button halfway?

A blue frame appears when a moving subject is detected; the focus and exposure will continuously adjust (Servo AF).

• What if a flashing 🔒 appears?

Attach the camera to a tripod so that the camera does not move and blur the image.

• What if the image comes out dark even if the flash fired when shooting?

The subject is too far away for the flash to reach. The effective flash range is approximately 30 cm – 3.1 m (12 in. – 10.2 ft.) at maximum wide angle (☐), and approximately 1.0 – 1.7 m (3.3 – 5.6 ft.) at maximum telephoto (☐).

- What if the camera beeps once when the shutter button is pressed halfway?

Your subject may be too close. When the camera is at maximum wide angle (☐), move about 1 cm (0.4 in.) or more away from your subject and shoot.

Move about 1 m (3.3 ft.) or more away when the camera is at maximum telephoto ([▲]).

• What if the lamp lights when the shutter button is pressed halfway?

To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may light when shooting in low light conditions.

• What if the ↩ icon blinks when you try to shoot?

The flash is charging. You can shoot when recharging ends.

CANON Ixus 1100 HS - Choose [Disable] in [Eye-Fi trans.]. - 1

What if [Eye-Fi Settings] does not appear?

[Eye-Fi Settings] will not appear when an Eye-Fi card is not inserted in the camera, and when an Eye-Fi card's write-protect tab is in the locked position. For this reason, settings cannot be changed for Eye-Fi cards equipped with a write-protect tab when the tab is in the locked position.

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

You pressed the ON/OFF button, but nothing happened.

  • Confirm that the battery is the correct type, and is not depleted (p. 16).
  • Confirm that the battery is properly inserted (p. 18).
  • Confirm that the memory card slot cover or battery cover is securely closed (pp. 18, 19).
  • If the battery terminals are dirty, battery performance will decrease. Clean the terminals with a cotton swab and re-insert the battery several times.

Battery is consumed quickly.

- Battery performance decreases at low temperatures. Warm the battery, for example, by placing it in your pocket with the terminal cover on.

Lens will not retract.

- Do not open the memory card slot cover or battery cover while the power is on. After closing the memory card slot cover or battery cover, turn the power on then back off (pp. 18, 19).

TV Output

Image is distorted or not showing on TV (p. 171).

Shooting

Cannot shoot.

- When in Playback mode (p. 23), press the shutter button halfway (p. 25).

Screen does not display properly in dark places (p. 44).

Screen does not display properly while shooting.

Please note, the following will not be recorded in still images, but will be recorded in movies.

- When shooting under fluorescent or LED lighting, the screen may flicker, and a horizontal bar may appear.

A flashing ↩ appears on the screen and the shot cannot be taken even though the shutter button was pressed fully (p. 29).

appears when the shutter button is pressed halfway (p. 52).

  • Set [IS Mode] to [Continuous] (p. 165).
  • Set the flash to ↓ (p. 83).
  • Increase the ISO speed (p. 86).
  • Attach the camera to a tripod. Additionally, you should set [IS Mode] to [Off] when shooting with a tripod (p. 165).

Troubleshooting

Image is blurred.

  • Press the shutter button halfway to focus on the subject, then press fully to shoot (p. 25).
  • Shoot the subject within the focusing distance (p. 198).
  • Set the [AF-assist Beam] to [On] (p. 163).
  • Confirm that functions which you do not intend to use (macro, etc.) are not set.
  • Shoot using the focus lock or AF lock (pp. 94, 97).

Camera shake has blurred the image.

- Depending on the shooting conditions, image blurring when using the Touch Shutter function may occur. Be sure to hold the camera firmly when shooting.

Even when you press the shutter button halfway, the AF frame does not appear, and the camera does not focus.

- If you center on the light and dark contrasting area of the subject and push the shutter button halfway, or repeatedly push the shutter button halfway, the AF frame will appear and the camera will focus.

Subject is too dark.

  • Set the flash to ↓ (p. 83).
  • Correct the brightness with exposure compensation (p. 83).
  • Adjust the image with i-Contrast (pp. 87, 137).
    • Use spot metering or AE Lock to shoot (pp. 98, 99).

Subject is too bright (overexposed).

  • Set the flash to ⬆ (p. 52).
  • Correct the brightness with exposure compensation (p. 83).
    • Use spot metering or AE Lock to shoot (pp. 98, 99).
  • Reduce the light illuminating the subject.

Image is dark even though the flash fired (p. 29).

  • Shoot within an appropriate distance for flash photography (p. 83).
    • Increase the ISO speed (p. 86).

Image taken using the flash is too bright (overexposed).

  • Shoot within an appropriate distance for flash photography (p. 83).
  • Set the flash to Ⓛ (p. 52).

White dots appear on the image when shooting with the flash.

• Light from the flash has reflected off dust particles or other objects in the air.

Image appears rough or grainy.

  • Shoot with the ISO speed on a lower setting (p. 86).
  • Depending on the Shooting mode, when shooting in a high ISO speed the image may appear rough or grainy (p. 64).

Eyes appear red (p. 101).

  • Set the [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] (p. 163). When shooting with the flash, the lamp lights (p. 42), and for approximately 1 second while the camera is reducing red-eye, it is not possible to shoot. It is more effective if the subject is looking directly at the lamp. Even better results can be obtained by increasing the lighting in indoor settings or approaching closer to the subject.
    • Correct images with red-eye correction (p. 138).

Recording images to the memory card takes a long time, or continuous shooting slows down.

• Perform a low-level format of the memory card in the camera (p. 155).

Cannot make settings for shooting functions or FUNC. menu.

- The items in which settings can be made differ depending on the shooting mode. Refer to "Functions Available in Each Shooting Mode", "FUNC. Menu", and "Shooting Menu" (pp. 188 – 193).

Shooting Movies

Correct shooting time does not display, or stops.

- Format the memory card in the camera, or use a memory card capable of recording at high speeds. Even when the shooting time does not display properly, the recorded video will be the length that it was actually shot (pp. 24, 34).

! appeared on the screen and shooting ended automatically.

The camera's internal memory was insufficient. Try one of the following:

• Perform a low-level format of the memory card in the camera (p. 155).

• Change the image quality setting (p. 108).

• Use a memory card capable of recording at high speeds (p. 108).

Subject appears distorted.

- The subject may appear distorted if it passes quickly in front of the camera while shooting. This is not a malfunction.

Playback

Cannot play back images or movies.

- If the file name or folder structure is changed on a computer, you may not be able to play back images or movies. Refer to the Software Guide for information regarding folder structure or file names.

Playback stops, or audio cuts out.

  • Use a memory card that has had a low-level format performed on it with this camera (p. 155).
  • If you copy a movie to a memory card that reads slowly, playback may interrupt momentarily.
  • Depending on its capabilities, when playing movies on a computer, frames may drop or the audio may cut out.

Screen

Touch operations do not work as expected.

  • Since the camera uses a pressure sensitive touch panel, try touching the screen slightly harder or use the toggle attached to the strap (p. 14).
    • Calibrate the touch panel (p. 161).

! appears on the upper right of the screen.

• You are touching the upper right part of the screen. Take your finger off the screen.

Computer

Cannot transfer images to a computer.

It may be possible to solve the problem when the camera is connected to a computer via cable by reducing the transfer speed.

- Turn off the camera. Keep the shutter button pressed fully and move the zoom lever toward [▲], then press the ▶ button. Now move the zoom lever toward 🏠. Touch [B] in the screen that appears, then touch it again.

Eye-Fi Card

Cannot transfer images (p. 175).

Handling Precautions

  • 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, motors or other devices that generate strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.
  • If water droplets or dirt become stuck on the camera or screen, 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 screen.
  • Use a commercially available blower brush to remove dust from the lens. For stubborn dirt contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
  • 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 on the camera, stop using it immediately, as continued use may damage the camera. Remove the battery and memory card, and wait until the moisture has completely evaporated before resuming use.
