Camera Body Temperature

If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become warm. Please be aware

of this and take care when operating the camera for an extended period.

About the LCD Monitor

The LCD monitor is produced with extremely high-precision manufacturing techniques. More than

99.99% of the pixels operate to specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire

or appear as red or black dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a

malfunction.

Video Format

Please set the camera’s video signal format to the one used in your region before using it with a TV

monitor (p. 154).

Language Setting

Please see page 23 to change the language setting.

Please read through the “Read This First” section (p. 4) before using your camera.

Charging the Date/Time Battery

• The camera has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery that maintains the date, time and other

camera settings. This battery recharges when the main battery pack is inserted into the camera.

When you first purchase the camera, place a charged battery pack in it or use the AC adapter

kit (sold separately) for at least 4 hours to charge the date/time battery. It will charge even when

the camera power is set to Off.

• If the Set Date/Time menu appears when the camera power is turned on, it means that the

date/time battery charge is depleted. Recharge it as described above.

the failure of an image to be recorded or to be recorded in a format that is machine

sensible.

Warning Against Copyright Infringement

Please note that Canon digital cameras are intended for personal use and should

never be used in a manner that infringes upon or contravenes international or

domestic copyright laws and regulations. Please be advised that in certain cases the

copying of images from performances, exhibitions, or commercial properties by

means of a camera or other device may contravene copyright or other legal rights

even if the image was shot for personal use.

Warranty Limitations

This camera’s warranty is only effective in the country of sale. If a problem arises

while the camera is in use abroad, please convey it back to the country of sale before

proceeding with a warranty claim to a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

Warnings

• Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or at other intense light sources

which could damage your eyesight.

• 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.

• Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. Accidental

damage to the camera or batteries by a child could result in serious injury. In addition,

placement of the strap around the child’s neck could result in asphyxiation.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is not

expressly described in this guide. Disassembly or alteration may result in high-

voltage electrical shock. Internal inspections, alterations and repairs should be

lead to fire, electrical shock or other damage.

• 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.

• Be careful not to cover the flash with your fingers when shooting. In addition,

do not touch the surface of the flash after taking several pictures in rapid succession.

Either action could result in burns.

• Do not operate the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to its lens. The

resulting heat build-up could damage the flash.

• If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become

warm. Please take care when operating the camera for an extended period as your

hands may experience a burning sensation.

Preventing Malfunctions

■ Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields

Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other equipment

generating strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may

cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.

■ Avoid Condensation Related Problems

Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause

Preparing the Camera

Charging the Battery Pack

Recharge Battery Pack NB-2L (supplied) with Battery Charger CB-2LT or CB-2LTE before you use the

camera for the first time and subsequently when the “Charge the battery pack” message is displayed.

Align the edge of the battery pack with

the line on the battery charger, then slide

the battery in the direction of the arrow.

Battery charger model names and types

vary by region.

(For CB-2LT)

Plug the battery charger into a power

outlet.

(For CB-2LTE)

CB-2LT

Attach the power cord to the battery

charger and plug it into a power outlet.

Charge Indicator

(For CB-2LT and CB-2LTE)

• The charge indicator will light red while the

battery pack is charging. It will change to a

steady green when the charge is complete.

• After charging, unplug the battery charger and

remove the battery pack from it.

CB-2LTE

Charge Indicator

To protect and prolong the life of the battery pack, do not charge it for 24 hours or

longer at a time.

• This is a lithium ion battery pack so there is no need to completely use or

discharge it before recharging. It can be recharged at any time.

• It takes approximately 80 minutes to bring a fully discharged battery pack to full

charge (based on Canon’s testing standard). Charging it within a temperature

range of 5 to 40º C (41 to 104º F) is recommended.

• Charging times will vary according to the surrounding humidity and battery pack

charge state.

• You may hear a noise during charging. This is not a malfunction.

Charging the Battery Pack (continued)

Battery Pack Handling Precautions

•

Keep the battery pack and camera terminals (

) clean at all times. Dirty

terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and camera. Polish

the terminals with a tissue or a dry cloth before charging or using the battery pack.

Do not cover the battery charger with anything, such as a tablecloth, cushion or

blanket, when it is charging. Heat will build up internally and possibly lead to fire.

Do not charge batteries other than Battery Pack NB-2L with the supplied battery

charger.

The battery pack continues to discharge a small amount when left in the camera

(even with the power turned off) or battery charger. This shortens the battery life.

Remove the battery pack when the camera is not in use.

•

Do not allow any metal objects such as keyrings to touch the “+” and “-”

terminals (Fig. A), as this can damage the battery pack. To carry the battery pack,

or store it during periods of disuse, always replace the terminal cover (Fig. B) or

place it in the supplied case and store it in a cool, dry place. Recharge it fully

before using it again.

Fig.A

Fig.B

•

Even charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. You are advised to

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

Since storing a fully charged battery pack for long periods of time (about 1 year)

can shorten its lifecycle or affect performance, you are recommended to use the

battery pack in the camera until it is completely discharged and to store it at

normal temperature (23° C/ 73° F) or lower. If you do not use the battery pack

for long periods of time, charge it fully and discharge it fully in the camera at

least once a year before returning it to storage.

•

The camera consumes the battery charge when the power is on even when a

function is not being used. To conserve the battery charge, be particularly

attentive in turning the camera off.

Although the battery pack’s maximum operating range is 0 to 40º C (32 to 104º F),

the optimal range is 10 to 30º C (50 to 86º F). At cold temperatures, such as those

experienced when skiing, performance will temporarily decline, reducing the

usable time before recharging.

CF Card Handling Precautions

•

CF cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend, force, or subject

them to shocks or vibration.

•

Do not attempt to disassemble or alter a CF card.

Moving a CF card rapidly between temperature extremes may cause condensation

to form in the card, leading to potential malfunctions. To avoid condensation

formation, place the CF card in a sealed plastic bag before moving it into a

different temperature zone and allow it to adjust slowly to the new temperature. If

condensation forms on the CF card, put it aside until the water droplets have

evaporated completely.

•

Place the CF card in the supplied case for storage.

Do not use or store CF cards in the following types of locations.

• Locations subject to dust or sand

• Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures

Microdrives are a recording medium with a hard disk. Their merits are a large

capacity and a low price per megabyte of capacity. However, they can be more

susceptible to vibrations and shocks than CF cards, which use durable flash

memories. Please be careful, therefore, not to subject the camera to vibrations

or shocks when using a microdrive, especially while recording or replaying.

Using the Soft Case (Optional)

Use the soft case SC-PS900 (optional) for storing the camera, batteries and

CF card.

• Soft case appearance may differ in some regions.

Setting the Date / Time (continued)

• You may need to reset the date and time if the battery pack is removed for about

three weeks.

• The Date/Time cannot be inserted in the actual image even if the Date/Time have

been set.

• Charging the Date/Time Battery

• The camera has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery that maintains the

date, time and other camera settings. This battery recharges when the main

battery pack is inserted into the camera. When you first purchase the camera,

place a charged battery pack in it or use the AC Adapter Kit ACK700 (sold

separately) for at least 4 hours to charge the date/time battery. It will charge

even when the camera power is set to Off.

• If the Set Date/Time menu appears when the camera power is turned on, it

means that the date/time battery charge is depleted. Recharge it as described

above.

About the Histogram

The histogram is a graph that allows you to judge the brightness of the recorded

image. The greater the bias toward the left in the graph, the darker the image. The

greater the bias toward to the right, the brighter the image. If the image is dark,

adjust the exposure compensation to a positive number. Similarly, adjust the

exposure compensation to a negative number if the image is bright (p. 79).

Histogram Examples

Dark Image

Overexposure Warning

In detailed display mode, overexposed portions of the image blink.

Using the Viewfinder to Shoot

Setting the LCD monitor to Off (p.28) and using the optical viewfinder can help

conserve power while shooting.

• The viewfinder has a field of vision of

approximately 82% of the actual shooting

image.

Shows the center of

the image

Image Seen in Viewfinder vs. Recorded Image

Please note that the actual image may differ from the image seen in the optical

viewfinder due to the physical separation between the viewfinder and lens. This is

called the parallax phenomenon and is more noticeable the closer the subject is to

the lens. In some cases, portions of images shot up close that appear in the

viewfinder will not appear in the recorded image. Please use the LCD monitor to

shoot images up close.

Shooting with an Off-Center AF Frame Selected

You should always use the LCD monitor to compose images when you have selected

an off-center AF frame. When setting the AF frame to the desired position to shoot

an image, please use the LCD monitor (See Selecting an AF Frame, p. 74).

Pressing the Shutter Button (continued)

• If the orange or yellow indicator blinks while you press halfway, you can still press

fully to take the shot.

• Images are first saved into the camera’s internal memory before being recorded

onto the CF card, allowing the next images to be taken immediately as long as

sufficient space is available in the internal memory.

• The beep and shutter sound can be set On / Off in the Set up menu (p. 151).

• When the shutter sound is set to Off, but the beep is set to On, one beep will

sound when the shutter button is fully pressed.

• There is no shutter sound in movie mode.

• Shots cannot be taken while the flash is charging.

AF-assist Beam

• The AF-assist beam will sometimes emit when the shutter button is pressed

halfway to assist focusing in certain conditions, i.e. dark conditions.

• The AF-assist beam can be turned off (p. 149).

If animals are your subject, turn off the beam when shooting in the dark to avoid

startling them. However, please keep in mind the following facts.

- Turning the AF-assist beam off may make it more difficult for the camera to

focus.

- The red-eye reduction lamp may emit when you press the shutter button

halfway even if the AF-assist beam is turned off.

In order to prevent any lamp from emitting before the flash fires, set both the red-

eye reduction function and the AF-assist beam to [Off] in the Shooting menu.

Changing the File Format

The recording file format can be switched to the RAW format before shooting the

image.

With the standard JPEG file format, the camera processes images after capturing

them to produce optimal results. The JPEG format compresses images so that more

can be stored on a single CF card. However, the compression is irreversible,

meaning that the original image data cannot be recovered after processing. In

contrast, the RAW format records the image data as captured by the camera’s CCD

without further processing. RAW images are compressed, but the compression is

reversible** so that a high-quality image can be obtained from the decompressed

file without any loss of image quality. In addition, although a RAW file is larger than

an equivalent JPEG file, it is still only approximately one-quarter the size* of an

uncompressed RGB TIFF format file, making it relatively compact.

With standard uncompressed file formats, such as RGB TIFF, images are processed

in the camera and require further processing by retouching software to adjust the

image parameters, which reduces image quality. With the RAW format, however,

the original data can be used in special software** to adjust the image parameters

(white balance, contrast, sharpness and saturation) making it possible to maintain

the image quality while making changes. The resolution (2592 x 1944) and

compression settings cannot be adjusted for these images.

As measured by Canon’s testing standard.

** The bundled software can be used to open or adjust the parameters of images recorded in the RAW file

format. Please consult the Software Starter Guide for details.

appears on the LCD monitor.

When shooting with the red-eye reduction function, the subjects must look right at

the red-eye reduction lamp for this mode to be effective. Try asking them to look

directly at the lamp. Even better results can be obtained by shooting with the lens set

to a wide angle, increasing the lighting in indoor settings or approaching closer to

the subject.

Setting the Slow Synchro

You can shoot images using the flash with a slow shutter speed. This helps avoid

dark backgrounds when shooting night scenes or with indoors lighting conditions.

In the [ (Rec.)] menu, set [Slow Synchro] to [On].

When shooting with a high ISO sensitivity and using the built-in flash, there is more

of a chance of overexposure the closer you are to the subject.

• Some settings are not available with certain Shooting modes. Please refer to

Functions Available in Each Shooting Mode (p. 180)

• The flash fires twice. A pre-flash will fire and will be followed by the main flash.

The pre-flash is used by the camera to obtain the subject’s exposure data so that

the main flash can be set to the optimal intensity for the shot.

• The fastest shutter speed for flash synchronization is 1/250 second. The camera

automatically resets the shutter speed to 1/250 second if a faster speed is selected.

• The flash fires with automatic adjustments when [Flash Adjust] is set to [Auto] in

the [

(Rec.)] menu. When shooting in

mode, or with [Flash Adjust] set to

[Manual], the flash fires with the manually set adjustments.

• Shots cannot be taken while the flash is charging.

• The flash may take up to approximately 10 seconds to charge in some cases.

Setting the Shutter Speed

When you set the shutter speed in the shutter speed-priority AE mode, the camera

• If the aperture value shows in red, the image is under exposed (insufficient light) or

overexposed (too much light). Adjust the shutter speed using B or A on the

multicontroller until the aperture value display turns to 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. Nevertheless, a certain amount of

processing time may be required before the next image can be shot.

Setting the Aperture

When you set the aperture in the aperture-priority AE mode, the camera

automatically selects a shutter speed to match the brightness. Selecting a lower

aperture value (opening the aperture) allows you to fade 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.

Turn the shooting mode dial to

Setting the Aperture (continued)

• If the shutter speed shows in red on the LCD monitor, the image is under exposed

(insufficient light) or overexposed (too much light). Adjust the aperture value using

B or A on the multicontroller until the shutter speed display turns white.

• Some aperture values may not be available with certain zoom positions.

• Functions Available in Each Shooting Mode (p. 180)

• Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at low shutter speeds. If the

camera shake warning appears in the LCD monitor, secure the camera to a

tripod before shooting.

• In this mode, the shutter speed with synchronized flash is 1/60 second to 1/250

second. The aperture value setting may therefore be changed automatically to

match the synchronized flash speed even if its value was set previously.

Setting the Auto Rotate Function

This camera is equipped with an Intelligent Orientation sensor that detects the

orientation of an image shot with the camera on end and automatically rotates it

to the correct viewing orientation in the display. You can set this function on/off.

Select [Auto Rotate] in the [ (Set up)]

menu.

See Selecting Menus and Settings (p. 36).

Select [On] and press the

button.

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

down. Check that the arrow is pointed 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 software used to download the

images.

• When the camera is held on end 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.

• When changing the camera’s orientation between the horizontal and vertical

positions, you may hear noise coming from the orientation detection mechanism.

This is not a malfunction.

Continuous mode or Stitch Assist mode are always saved into the same folder, a

folder may contain more than 100 images. The number of images may also

exceed 100 if a folder contains images copied from a computer or images shot

with other cameras. Please note, however, that the images in folders containing

2001 or more images cannot be replayed in this camera.
