contained on the card to a computer.

Pressing the Shutter Button  
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.  
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. 159) 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.

Choosing Settings Yourself  
In this chapter you will learn how to use the various functions in G  
mode to progressively advance your shooting skills.  
This chapter assumes that you have set the mode dial to G mode.

Using an Eye-Fi Card  
Before using an Eye-Fi card, be sure to check whether Eye-Fi card use is  
authorized in the country or territory of use (p. 16).  
When you put a prepared Eye-Fi card into the camera, you can automatically  
transfer your images wirelessly to a computer, or upload them to a web  
service.  
Image transfer is a function of the Eye-Fi card. For details on how to setup  
and use the card, and concerning problems transferring images, please refer  
to the Eye-Fi card user guide, or contact the manufacturer.  
Please keep the following things in mind when using an Eye-Fi card.  
Even if you set [Eye-Fi trans.] to [Disable] (p. 185), the Eye-Fi card may transmit  
radio waves. Be sure to remove the Eye-Fi card from the camera before  
entering areas that prevent unauthorized transmission of radio waves, such as  
hospitals and airplanes.  
If you have trouble transferring images, check the card or computer settings.  
For details, refer to the user guide supplied with the card.  
Depending on the connection status of the wireless network, it may take time to  
transfer images, or image transfer may be iterupted.  
Due to its transfer function, the Eye-Fi d mabecome hot.  
Battery consumption will be quicker thnormuse.  
Camera operations will be slown inormal use. This may be resolved by

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 power button, but nothing happened.  
Confirm that the battery is the correct type, and is not depleted (p. 15).  
Confirm that the battery is properly inserted (p. 17).  
Confirm that the memory card/battery cover is securely closed (p. 17).  
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/battery cover while the power is on. After closing the  
memory card/battery cover, turn the power on then back off (p. 17).  
TV output  
Image is distorted or not showing on TV (74).  
Shooting  
Cannot shoot.  
When in Playback mode (p. 22), press the shutter button halfway (p. 24).  
The screen is off (p. 26).  
Screen does not display properly in dark places (p. 41).  
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 happears on the screen and the shot cannot be taken even  
though the shutter button was pressed fully (p. 27).  
appears when the shutter button is pressed halfway (p. 27).  
Set [IS mode] to [Continuous] (p. 168).  
Raise the flash and set it to h(p. 79).  
Increase the ISO speed (p. 81).  
Attach the camera to a tripod. Additionally, you should set [IS Mode] to [Off] when  
shooting with a tripod (p. 168).  
186  
   
Troubleshooting  
Image is blurred.  
Press the shutter button halfway to focus on the subject, then press fully to shoot  
(p. 24).  
Shoot the subject within the focusing distance (p. 207).  
Set the [AF-assist Beam] to [On] (p. 165).  
Confirm that functions which you do not intend to use (macro, etc.) are not set.  
Shoot using the focus lock or AF lock (pp. 86, 91).  
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.  
Raise the flash and set it to h(p. 79).  
Correct the brightness with exposure compensation (p. 78).  
Adjust the image with i-Contrast (pp. 79, 142).  
Use spot metering or AE Lock to shoot (pp. 95, 96).  
Subject is too bright (overexposed).  
Lower the flash and set it to !(p. 26).  
Correct the brightness with exposure comsatio(p. 78).  
Use spot metering or AE Lock to shoot (p, 96).  
Reduce the light illuminating the s.  
Image is dark even though the red (p. 27).  
Shoot within an appropriatdistance flash photography (p. 79).  
Correct the flash exposure ompnsation amount or flash output (pp. 98, 105).  
Increase the ISO speed (p. 81).  
Image taken using the flash is too bright (overexposed).  
Shoot within an appropriate distance for flash photography (p. 79).  
Lower the flash and set it to !(p. 26).  
Correct the flash exposure compensation amount or flash output (pp. 98, 105).  
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. 81).  
Depending on the Shooting mode, when shooting in a high ISO speed the image may  
appear rough or grainy (p. 63).  
Eyes appear red (p. 99).  
Set the [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] (p. 166). When shooting with the flash, the lamp lights  
(p. 38). 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. 143).  
187  
Troubleshooting  
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. 159).  
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” and “Shooting Menu” (pp. 196 – 203).  
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. 23, 31).  
The full buffer warning (p. 191) 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. 159).  
Change the image quality setting (p. 113).  
Use a memory card capable of recording at high speeds (p. 113).  
Subject appears distorted.  
The subject may appear distorted if it passes quickly ront of the camera while  
shooting. This is not a malfunction.  
Playback  
Cannot play back images or movies
If the file name or folder structue is changed on a computer, you may not be able to  
play back images or movies. Refr tthe 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. 159).  
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.  
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.  
After pressing the 1button to enter Playback mode, press and hold the nbutton  
and the oand mbuttons together. In the screen that appears, press the qrbuttons  
to choose [B], then press the mbutton.
