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 malfunc-

tion.

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. 181).

Language Setting

Please see page 28 to change the language setting.

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 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 Condensation Forms Inside the Camera

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.

Extended Storage

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. Storing the camera for extended

periods with batteries installed will run down the battery and may

damage the camera.

Preparing the Camera

Installing the Batteries

The camera uses four AA-size alkaline batteries supplied

with the camera.You may use optional nickel metal

hydride (NiMH) batteries.

Be sure that the camera power is off.

Slide the battery cover lock in the

direction of the arrow, and push the

battery cover slightly forward.Then open

the cover.

Insert the batteries as shown.

Positive end (+)

Negative end (−)

Close the battery cover.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

When the camera’s indicator blinks green, do not turn off

the power or open the battery cover. The camera is

writing, reading, erasing or transmitting an image to or

from the CF card.

• We recommend that you use the optional AC Adapter

Kit ACK600 to power the camera during long usage

sessions (p. 195).

• The optional battery charger kit lets you use recharge-

able NiMH batteries to power the camera (p. 193).

• For important information, see Battery Performance

(p. 214).

• For information about the Battery and Charger Kit and

AA-size rechargeable NiMH batteries, see the System

Map (separate from this guide).

Proper Battery Handling

• Use AA-size alkaline or Canon AA-size NiMH batteries only.

For information on handling the AA-size rechargeable NiMH

batteries, see Using the Optional Battery Kits (p. 193).

• Never use manganese or lithium batteries, as these battery

types may overheat in the camera.

• Since the performance of alkaline batteries may differ accord-

ing to brand, the operating time of the batteries you purchase

may not be as long as the batteries that came with the camera.

• Camera operating time may shorten at low temperatures when

alkaline batteries are used. Also due to their specifications,

alkaline batteries may expire faster than NiMH batteries. If you

are using the camera in cold areas or for a long time, we

recommend using Canon AA-size NiMH Battery Kit (a four-

piece set).

• While it is possible to use AA-size nickel-cadmium batteries,

performance is unreliable and their use is not recommended.

• Never mix unused and partially used batteries. Always load

four fresh (or fully recharged) batteries at the same time.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

• Be careful to load the batteries with their positive (+) and

negative (-) ends in the right direction.

• Never mix batteries of different types or from different

manufacturers. All four batteries should be identical.

• Before inserting the batteries, wipe the battery terminals well

with a dry cloth. Oil from one’s skin or other dirt may cause a

considerable reduction in the number of recordable images or

reduced usage time.

• Battery performance deteriorates at low temperatures (espe-

cially with alkaline batteries). If you are using the camera in

cold areas and batteries are running down faster than they

should, you may be able to restore performance by placing

batteries in an inner pocket to warm them up prior to use. But

be careful that you don’t put the batteries into a pocket together

with a metal key chain or other metallic objects, as these

objects may cause batteries to short-circuit.

• If you do not plan to use the camera for a long time, remove the

batteries from the camera and store them in a safe place.

Batteries may leak and damage the camera if left installed

during prolonged periods of non-use.

WARNING

Never use damaged batteries or batteries whose outer seal is

completely or partially missing or peeled off, as there is risk

that such batteries may leak, overheat, or burst. Always check

the seals on store-bought batteries before loading them, as

some batteries may come with defective seals. Do not use

batteries with defective seals.

Never use batteries that look like this.

Batteries with all or part of the seal (electrical

insulation sheath) peeled off.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

The positive electrode (plus terminal) is flat.

The negative terminal is correctly formed (protruding

from the metal base), but the seal does not extend up

over the edge of the metal base.

Battery Status Indications

The LCD monitor displays an icon or message to let you

know when batteries are low or depleted.

Batteries are beginning to run low. Replace (or

recharge) batteries promptly.

If the LCD monitor is off, this icon will appear

when you press any of the following buttons:

/ MF.

Batteries are fully depleted and the camera can

no longer operate.You should replace the

batteries immediately.

corrupted:

- Do not shake the camera.

- Do not turn off the power or open the CF card slot

cover.

• Be aware that use of CF cards whose contents have

been edited at another camera or with another

company’s software may cause the camera to operate

incorrectly.

For more information on CF cards, see CF Cards and

Estimated Capacities (Recordable Images) (p. 215).

About CF Cards...

• CF 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 a CF card.

• Moving a CF card rapidly between temperature extremes will

cause condensation to form in the card and lead to a

malfunction. To avoid condensation, 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, store it at room

temperature until the water droplets have evaporated naturally.

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

- Locations subject to dust or sand

- Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures

About the Autofocus Function

This camera employs AiAF (artificial intelligence

autofocus) technology which uses a broad metering field

to calculate the focal distance with high precision. It

delivers a crisp focus even when the photographic subject

is slightly off-center.

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.

Pressing the Shutter Button

The shutter button features a two-stage action.

Pressing Halfway

Pressing halfway automatically sets the

exposure, focus and white balance.

The indicators light or blink as follows.

Upper Indicator

• Green: Metering complete (two beeps

sound)

• Orange: Flash will fire

• Blinking Orange: Camera shake warning /

Insufficient exposure

Lower Indicator

• Yellow: Macro Mode / Manual Focus

• Blinking Yellow: Focusing difficulty*

(single beep sounds)

* When the indicator blinks yellow, lock the

focus before shooting (p. 113).

The AF frame appears as follows when

the LCD monitor is on.

• Green: Metering complete

• Yellow: Focusing difficulty (When AiAF is

turned on (p. 98))

Pressing Fully

Pressing fully releases the shutter.

• You will hear the shutter sound when

the shot is complete. Do not move the

camera until you hear this sound.

• The upper indicator blinks green while

the image is recording onto the CF

card.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

• 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. 178).

• 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. 175).

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.

Using the Zoom (Focal Length)

The zoom can be adjusted to any setting in the 35 to 105

mm range in 35 mm film equivalent terms.

Telephoto/Wide Angle

: Press the zoom lever left to zoom out

for a wide-angle shot.

: Press the zoom lever right to zoom in

for a telephoto shot.

Digital Zoom

When the LCD monitor is on, you can digitally zoom in on

a subject with the zoom button. Images can be zoomed

up to approx. 9.6 times (PowerShot A70), or 7.5 times

(PowerShot A60), which combines the effect of the optical

zoom (p. 85).

Digital zoom is unavailable in some modes (p. 224).

Note that the image appears grainier, the more the image

is digitally zoomed.

Red-Eye Reduction

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.

When shooting with a high ISO sensitivity and using the

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. 224).

• 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

you must stitch the images together at your computer.

To create the panorama at your computer, use the

PhotoStitch software that came with your camera.

Framing a Subject

The PhotoStitch program detects the overlapping portions

of adjoining images and merges them. When shooting, try

to include a distinctive item (landmark) in the overlapping

portions.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

• Compose each frame so that it overlaps 30 to 50 % of

the adjoining image. Try to keep the vertical misalign-

ment to within 10 % of the image height.

• Do not include moving items in the overlap.

• Do not try to stitch images that include both distant and

close items. Objects may appear warped or doubled up.

• Make the brightness in each image consistent. The final

image will appear unnatural if the difference in bright-

ness is too great.

• For good results, pan (swivel) the camera to take

successive shots.

• To shoot close-ups, slide the camera over the subject,

keeping it parallel as you move.

Setting the Shutter Speed

When you set the shutter speed in the shutter speed-

priority AE mode, the camera automatically selects an

aperture value to match the brightness. Faster shutter

speeds allow you to catch an instantaneous image of a

moving subject while slower speeds create a flowing

effect and allow you to shoot without a flash in dark areas.

The correct exposure has been set if the shutter speed and

aperture value show in white.

• If the aperture value shows in red, the image is under

exposed (insufficient light) or overexposed (too much

light). Adjust the shutter speed using the left and right

buttons 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.

Appendices

Replacing the Date Battery

The camera uses a special Date battery to power its

internal clock. If the LCD monitor displays the Set Date/

Time menu when you turn on the camera, this means that

the Date battery has run down and the clock has stopped

running. Please purchase a replacement battery (battery

type CR1220) and install it as follows. (The date battery

is preinstalled at the factory and may therefore expire

earlier than its rated lifespan after the camera has

been purchased.)

Be particularly careful to keep the date batteries out of

the reach of children. Seek medical assistance

immediately if a child swallows a battery since

corrosive battery fluids could damage the stomach or

intestinal wall.

Be sure that the camera is turned off.

Open the

terminal cover.

Pull out the date battery holder.

191

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Pull the battery out of the holder, as

shown.

Positive terminal (+)

Insert the new date battery into the holder,

with the positive terminal (+) facing up.

Replace the date battery holder back into

its original position, and close the

terminal cover.

When the LCD monitor displays the Set

Date/Time menu, proceed to set the

current date and time (p. 26).

The LCD monitor also displays the Set Date/Time menu

the very first time you turn on the camera. This is normal,

and does not mean that the date battery is depleted.

If you should dispose of your camera, first

remove the date battery for recycling

according to the recycling system of your

country.

Using the Optional Battery Kits

Using Rechargeable Batteries

(Battery and Charger Kit CBK100)

Included are the battery charger and four rechargeable

AA-size NiMH (nickel metal hydride) batteries. Charge

batteries as shown below.

Indicator

To a power

outlet

• The indicator blinks while charging, then comes on solid

when charging is finished.

• This charger can be used only to charge Canon AA-size

NiMH batteries. Please do not attempt to charge any

other type of batteries with this charger.

• Never mix new batteries together with batteries that

have been used in other devices.

• When recharging batteries from the camera, always

recharge all four of them at the same time.

• All batteries you place in the charger should be at

approximately the same charge state, and should have

been purchased at the same time. Don’t mix batteries

with different purchase dates or different charge states.

• Do not attempt to recharge fully charged batteries, as

doing so may reduce or impair battery performance.

Also, do not charge batteries for more than 24 consecu-

tive hours.

• Do not recharge batteries in enclosed areas that tend to

retain heat.

193

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

• Repeatedly recharging batteries before they become

fully depleted may cause batteries to lose capacity. Do

not recharge the batteries until the LCD monitor displays

the “Change the batteries” message.

• Wipe the battery terminals well with a dry cloth in the

following situations, as the terminals may be soiled with

oil from one’s skin or other dirt:

- If the battery usage time has considerably diminished

- If the number of recordable images has considerably

diminished

- When charging the batteries (insert and remove the

batteries two or three times before charging)

- When charging completes in a matter of a few minutes

(the battery charger indicator remains lit)

• You may not be able to fully charge the batteries due to

their specifications right after purchase or after long

periods of non-use. If this happens, use the batteries

until their charge is depleted before charging them

again. After doing this several times, battery

performance will be restored.

•

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 dis-

charged and to store it at normal temperature (23° C/73°

F) or less. 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.

• If battery usage time is considerably low despite their

terminals’ being wiped and the battery charger’s

indicator remaining lit, it is possible that the batteries

have reached the end of their lifespan. Switch to

different, unused batteries. If you are purchasing new

batteries, look for Canon’s AA-size NiMH batteries (four-

piece set).

• Leaving batteries in the camera or charger may damage

it causing battery leakage.

Remove batteries from the camera or charger and store

in a dry cool location when not in use.

194

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

• It takes approximately 220 minutes for the charger to

fully recharge the batteries (as determined by testing at

Canon facilities). Please do not charge batteries in

areas where the temperature is outside the range of 0 to

35 °C (32 to 95 °F).

• Charging time varies according to ambient temperature

and to the batteries’ initial charge state.

Using the AC Adapter Kit ACK600

This optional adapter kit allows you to operate the camera

continuously without worrying about having to stop and

replace the batteries. Use of the kit is recommended

when you are planning long sessions with the camera,

and whenever you connect the camera to a computer.

Be sure that the camera is turned off before connecting or

disconnecting the compact power adapter.

Connect the power cord to the compact

power adapter, and then plug the other

end into the power outlet.

connect the adapter’s DC plug into the

camera’s DC IN terminal.

Please unplug the adapter from the power outlet when you

have finished using the camera.

Please do not attempt to use any AC adapter other than

AC Adapter Kit ACK600 with your camera. Use of a

different adapter may result in damage to the camera or

to the adapter.

Using the Optional Lenses and Lens Adapter

The camera supports use of the optional Wide Converter

WC-DC52, Tele-converter TC-DC52 and Close-up Lens

250D (52 mm). In order to attach any of these lenses, you

also need to use the optional Conversion Lens Adapter

LA-DC52C.

• When attaching the wide converter, tele-converter

or close-up lens, be sure to screw it on securely. If

they come loose they may fall from the lens

adapter, posing risk of injury from shattered glass.

• Never look into the sun or into strong light through

the wide converter, tele-converter or the close-up

lens, as this can result in blindness or impairment

of vision.

Wide Converter WC-DC52

Use this converter for taking wide-angle shots. The wide

converter changes the focal length of the camera body’s

lens by a factor of 0.7 (The thread diameter is 52 mm.).

197

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Tele-converterTC-DC52

This 52 mm-threaded diameter magnifying conversion

lens is for taking telephoto shots. The lens changes the

focal length of the camera body’s lens by a factor of 2.4x.

Close-Up Lens 250D (52 mm)

This lens makes it easy to take macro shots. With the

camera set to Macro mode, you can use this option to

shoot subjects that are 4 to 25 cm (1.6 to 9.8 in.) at wide

angle end and 13 to 25 cm (5.1 to 9.8 in.) at telephoto

end from the lens tip.

• It is not possible to attach a lens hood or filter to the

wide converter or tele-converter.

• If you use the flash when shooting with the wide

converter, the outer area of the recorded image (and

especially the lower right corner) will come out relatively

dark.

• The wide converter blocks part of the view through the

viewfinder.

• When using the wide converter, please set the camera

to wide angle end.

• When using the tele-converter, please set the focal

length to telephoto end. At other zoom settings, the

image will appear as if its corners have been cut off.
