Sa fe t y P r e ca u t io n s  
Before using the camera, please ensure that you have read and understood the safety precautions  
described below. Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly.  
The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to instruct you in the safe and correct  
operation of the camera and its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to yourself, other persons and  
equipment.  
In the next few pages, the term “equipment” refers primarily to the camera and its power supply  
accessories.  
W ARNINGS  
• Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or at other intense light sources that could injure 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 injure 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 wrist strap around the  
childs neck could result in asphyxiation.  
Be particularly careful to keep the button batteries (CR2016 lithium) used in the camera out of the reach  
of children. Seek medical assistance immediately if a child swallows a battery.

• 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 conducted by qualified service personnel authorized by your camera  
distributor or a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.  
To avoid the risk of high-voltage electrical shock, do not touch the flash portion of the camera if it has  
been damaged. Similarly, never touch internal portions of the equipment that become exposed as a  
result of damage. There is a risk of high-voltage electrical shock. Please take the first opportunity to  
consult your camera distributor or a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.  
• Stop operating the equipment immediately if it should emit smoke or noxious fumes. Failure to do so  
may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately turn the cameras mode dial to the Off position and  
remove the camera battery or unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Confirm that smoke or  
fume emissions cease. Please consult your camera distributor or the closest Canon Customer Support  
Help Desk.  
• Stop operating the equipment if it is dropped or the casing is damaged. Failure to do so may result in  
fire or electrical shock. Immediately turn the cameras mode dial to the Off position and remove the  
camera battery or unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Please consult your camera  
distributor or the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.  
• Prevent the equipment from contact with, or immersion in, water and other liquids. Do not allow liquids  
to enter the interior. The camera has not been waterproofed. If the exterior comes into contact with  
liquids or salt air, wipe it dry with a soft, absorbent cloth. In the event that water or other foreign  
substances enter the interior, immediately turn the cameras mode dial to Off and remove the camera  
battery or unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Continued use of the equipment may result

• Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzene, thinners or other flammable substances to clean or  
maintain the equipment. The use of these substances may lead to fire.  
• Do not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power adapter cord. Any of these actions may  
cause an electrical short circuit, which may lead to fire or electrical shock. Replace a broken or damaged  
power adapter cord.  
• Do not handle the power cord if your hands are wet. Handling it with wet hands may lead to electrical  
shock. When unplugging the cord, ensure that you hold the rigid portion of the plug. Pulling on the  
flexible portion of the cord may damage or expose the wire and insulation, creating the potential for  
fires or electrical shocks.  
• Use of power sources not expressly recommended for this equipment may lead to overheating,  
distortion of the equipment, fire, electrical shock or other hazards. Use only the recommended power  
accessories.  
• Power down the computer and unplug the power cord before attempting to connect the interface cable

of the flash after taking several pictures in rapid succession. Either action could result in burns.  
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.  
P r e ve n t in g M a lfu n ct io n s  
Avo id St ro n g Ma g n e t ic Fie ld s  
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.  
Avo id Co n d e n sa t io n Re la t e d Pro b le m s  
Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water  
droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces. You can avoid this by placing the equipment in an  
airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from  
the bag.  
If Co n d e n sa t io n Fo rm s In sid e t h e Ca m e ra  
Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation. Continued use may damage the  
equipment. Remove the CF card and battery or power cord (if connected) from the camera and wait until  
the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.  
Ext e n d e d St o ra g e  
When not using the camera for extended periods of time, remove the battery (except the CR2016 lithium  
button battery) and store the equipment in a safe place. Storing the camera for extended periods with a  
battery installed will run down the battery and may damage the camera.

• CF cards are high-precision electronic  
devices. Do not bend, apply force to, 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 will cause  
condensation to form in the card and  
may lead to a malfunction. To avoid  
condensation, place the CF card into 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 location.

What is the Stitch Function?  
• Do not try to stitch images that include both  
distant and close items. Objects may appear  
warped or doubled up.  
• Make the brightness as consistent as  
possible. The final image will appear  
unnatural if the difference in brightness is  
too large.  
• Stitching is the process of merging  
digital camera images so that the seams  
are invisible. Expansive scenes can be  
dynamically presented in their entirety.  
Ho w t o Fra m e a Su b je ct  
The stitch function detects the overlapping  
portions of adjoining images and merges  
them. When shooting, try to include a  
distinctive item in the overlapping portion.

Landscapes  
To record distant landscapes, pan the camera  
(tilt or swivel the camera on its own axis).  
For a horizontal

• Compose each frame so that it overlaps  
30% to 50% of the width of the adjoining  
image. Try to keep any vertical misalignment  
to within 10% of the image height.
