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 devices, such as electrical transformers for foreign travel, because they  
will cause malfunctions.  
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.

Formatting Memory Cards  
Before you use a new memory card or one that has been used 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.  
Display the menus.  
Press the n button.  
Select [Format].

s the qr buttons to select [OK], then  
press the m button.  
The memory card will be formatted.  
When formatting has finished, the menu  
screen will reappear.  
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.

About low level formatting  
When the [Memory card error] message appears, or when the camera does not  
work correctly, low level formatting the memory card may solve the problem.  
Copy the images from the memory card to a computer or other device before low  
level formatting.  
Low level formatting may take longer than standard formatting (p. 22),  
since all recorded data are erased.  
You can stop a low level format of a memory card by selecting [Stop].  
When stopping low level formatting, the data will be erased but the  
memory card can be used without problem.
