LCD Monitor Brightness Settings  
The brightness of the LCD monitor can be chaged in the following two

• Changing settings using the Dutton (uick-bright LCD  
Function)  
You can set the LCD mhe bghtest setting regardless of the

more than one econd*.  
- To restore the reviobrightness setting, press the DISP. button  
for more than onsond again.

the brightness setting selected in the Set up menu.  
* You cannot change the brightness of the LCD monitor with this function if you have  
already set it to its highest setting in the Set up menu.  
Night Display  
When shooting at dusk or during the evening when the dark  
surroundings make it difficult to view the LCD monitor, the camera’s  
“night view” option* displays the subject brightly in the LCD monitor.  
This will allow you to compose a shot even in dark environments (this  
setting cannot be turned off).

monitor may appear somewhat jagged, there is no effect on the recorded image.  
The brightness of the image displayed in the monitor, and the brightness of the  
actual image recorded will be different.

Preventing Malfunctions  
Camera  
Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields  
z 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  
z When moving the equipment rapidly from cold to hot  
temperatures, you can avoid condensaon by placing the  
equipment in an airtight, resealable lasc bag and letting it  
adjust to temperature changes wly bore removing it from  
the bag.  
If condensation forms on tmeremove the memory card and  
battery, and set the camin om temperature to allow the  
condensation to atally e before using the camera again.  
Battery  
z Keep the battery minals 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.  
z At low temperatures, battery performance may be reduced and  
the low battery icon

z You are recommended use the camera until it is  
depleted and to store indor location with low relative  
humidity and eeeperatures of 0 – 30 °C (32 – 86  
°F).  
Storing a fully chrged bttery for long periods of time (about one  
year) may shorten s lifcycle or affect its performance. If you do not  
use the battery for long periods of time, charge it fully and discharge it  
in the camera about once a year before returning it to storage.  
z Since this is a lithium-ion battery, you need not deplete it  
before recharging.  
z 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.  
z It takes approximately 2 hours 5 minutes to fully charge the  
battery from a depleted 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.

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.

gets weaker. Always set the power/mode switch to off when  
you finish using the flash.  
z Be careful not to touch the flash window or sensor windows  
with your fingers while the flash is in use.  
z The flash may fire if another flash is being used in close

lithium battery (CR123A or DL123) is installed.  
z 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.  
z A tripod can be used even when the flash is attached.
