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.

Please set the camera's video signal format to the one used in your  
region before using it with a TV monitor (p. 94).  
Language Setting  
Please see the Basic Guide (p. 4) to change the language setting.

sources through the viewfinder that could damage your  
eyesight.  
Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants.  
• Wrist strap: Placement of the strap around the child's neck could  
result in asphyxiation.  
• Memory card: Dangerous if accidentally swallowed. If this  
occurs, contact a doctor immediately.  
Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the  
equipment that is not expressly described in this guide.  
To avoid the risk of high-voltage electrical shock, do not  
touch the flash portion of the camera if it has been damaged.  
Stop operating the equipment immediately if it emits smoke  
or noxious fumes.  
Do not allow the equipment to come into contact with, or  
become immersed in, water or other liquids. If the exterior  
comes into contact with liquids or salt air, wipe it dry with a  
soft, absorbent cloth.  
Continued use of the equipment may result in fire or electrical  
shock. Immediately turn the camera power off and remove the  
camera battery or unplug the power cord from the power outlet.  
Please consult your camera distributor or the closest Canon  
Customer Support Help Desk.  
Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzine,  
thinners or other flammable substances to clean or  
maintain the equipment.  
Do not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power cord.  
Use only recommended power accessories.  
Remove the power cord on a regular periodic basis and  
wipe away the dust and dirt that collects on the plug, the  
exterior of the power outlet and the surrounding area.  
Do not handle the power cord if your hands are wet.  
Continued use of the equipment may result in fire or electrical  
shock.  
7
Battery  
Do not place the battery near a heat source or expose it to  
direct flame or heat.  
The battery should not be immersed in water or sea water.  
Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the  
battery.  
Avoid dropping or subjecting the battery to severe impacts  
that could damage the casing.  
Use only recommended battery and accessories.  
Use of battery not expressly recommended for this equipment  
may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and  
damage to the surroundings. In the event that a battery leaks and  
the eyes, mouth, skin or clothing contact these substances,  
immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance.  
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.  
8
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.  
Avoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places  
subject to strong sunlight or high temperatures, such as the  
dashboard or trunk (boot) of a car.  
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 if not  
fully plugged into the outlet.  
Do not use in locations with poor ventilation.  
The above-mentioned can cause leakage, overheating or  
explosion, resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High  
temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing.  
When not using the camera for extended periods of time,  
remove the battery from the camera or battery charger and  
store the equipment in a safe place.  
The battery can run down.  
9
Equipment  
Do not connect compact power adapters or battery  
chargers to devices such as electrical transformers for  
foreign travel because it may lead to malfunctions,  
excessive heat generation, fire, electric shock or injury.  
Flash  
Do not operate the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck  
to the surface of the flash.  
Be careful not to cover the flash with your fingers or  
clothing when shooting.  
The flash may be damaged and emit smoke or noise. The  
resulting heat build-up could damage the flash.  
Do not touch the surface of the flash after taking several  
pictures in rapid succession.  
Doing so could result in burns.  
10  
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  
When moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold  
temperatures, you can avoid condensation by placing the  
equipment in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it  
adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it  
from the bag.  
Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures  
may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its external  
and internal surfaces.  
If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera  
Stop using the camera immediately.  
Continued use may damage the equipment. Remove the memory  
card and battery or compact power adapter from the camera and  
wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming  
use.

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

Using the Custom White Balance  
You can set a custom white balance to obtain the optimal  
setting for the shooting conditions by having the camera  
evaluate an object, such as a piece of white paper or cloth,  
or a photo-quality gray card that you wish to establish as the  
standard white color.  
In particular, take a custom white balance reading for the  
following situations that are difficult for the  
to detect correctly.

You are recommended to set the shooting mode to  
and the exposure compensation setting to [±0]  
before setting a custom white balance.  
The correct white balance may not be obtained  
when the exposure setting is incorrect (image  
appears completely black or white).  
Shoot with the same settings as when reading the  
white balance data. If the settings differ, the optimal  
white balance may not be set.  
In particular, the following should not be changed.  
- ISO Speed  
- Flash  
Setting the flash to on or off is recommended. If  
the flash fires when reading the white balance  
data with the flash set to  
(Auto) or  
(Auto

the flash when you shoot.  
Since the white balance data cannot be read in  
Stitch Assist mode, preset the white balance in  
another shooting mode beforehand.  
The camera will retain the custom white balance  
setting that you record even if you reset the camera  
to the default settings (p. 31).

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.

is  
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.  
You can set the Auto Rotate function separately for the  
shooting and playback modes.  
- When the Auto Rotate function is set to [On] in shooting  
mode, the camera's orientation is recorded and the  
image is automatically switched to the correct orientation  
in playback mode.  
- When the Auto Rotate function is set to [On] in playback  
mode, images are rotated to their correct orientation in  
the LCD monitor according to the camera's orientation.

Appendix  
Battery Handling  
Battery Charge  
The following icon and message will display.  
Change the battery pack  
Battery charge is low.  
Recharge it as soon as  
possible it will be used for an  
extended period.  
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  
Fig. B  
Fig. A  
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.  
111  
         
You may be able to check the charge state depending upon how  
the terminal cover is attached (Fig. C, D).  
Fig. D  
Fig. C  
Charged Battery  
Attach it so the  
is visible  
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 fully discharged 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.

data on the card)  
Writing/Erasing Possible  
Writing/Erasing Impossible  
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.  
113  
     
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.  
114  
 
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  
Compact Power Adapter  
CA-DC10  
the power outlet.  
2 Open the memory card  
DC Coupler DR-30  
slot/battery cover, then  
insert the DC coupler  
until it is locked.  
Slide the memory card slot/battery  
cover closed.  
Battery Lock  
3 Open the DC coupler termi-  
nal cover and attach the  
cord to the DC terminal.  
115  
     
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.  
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.  
116  
   
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 (Less than 0°C/32°F)  
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.  
117  
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 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.
