How to store the battery for long periods:  
Deplete and remove the battery from the camera. Attach the terminal cover and  
store the battery. Storing a battery for long periods of time (about a year) without  
depleting it may shorten its life span or affect its performance.  
The battery charger can also be used when abroad.  
The charger can be used in regions that have 100 – 240 V (50/60 Hz) AC power.  
If the plug does not fit the outlet, use a commercially available plug adapter. Do  
not use electrical transformers for foreign travel as they will cause damage.  
The battery may develop a bulge.  
This is a normal characteristic of the battery and does not indicate a problem.  
However, if the battery bulges to the point where it will no longer fit into the  
camera, please contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.  
If the battery is quickly depleted even after charging, it has reached the  
end of its life span.  
Purchase a new battery.

Formatting Memory Cards  
Before you use a new memory card or one that has been formatted in other  
devices, you should format the card with this camera.  
Formatting (initializing) a memory card erases all data on the memory card.  
As you cannot retrieve the erased data, exercise adequate caution before  
formatting the memory card.  
Before formatting an Eye-Fi card, be sure to install the software contained on  
the card to a computer.  
Display the menu.  
Press the n button.  
Choose [Format].

Press the op buttons or turn the dial  
to choose [OK], then press the m button.  
The memory card will be formatted.  
When formatting ends, [Memory card  
formatting complete] will appear on the  
screen.  
Press the m 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.

Troubleshooting  
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 frame will appear  
and the camera will focus.  
Subject is too dark.  
Set the flash to h(p. 71).  
Adjust the brightness with exposure compensation (p. 71).  
Adjust the image with i-Contrast (pp. 92, 131).  
Use the AE lock, or spot metering to shoot (pp. 87, 88).  
Subject is too bright (overexposed).  
Set the flash to !(p. 64).  
Adjust the brightness with exposure compensation (p. 71).  
Use the AE lock, or spot metering to shoot (pp. 87, 88).

Set the [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] (p. 148). When shooting with the flash, the lamp (on the  
front of the camera) lights (p. 42), and for approximately 1 second while the camera is  
reducing red-eye, it is not possible to shoot. 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.  
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. 51).
