press the button all the way down to shoot.  
In this manual, shutter button operations are described as  
pressing the button halfway or all the way down.  
Press halfway. (Press lightly  
to focus.)

the shutter button halfway.  
Length of shutter sound playback varies depending on the time  
required for the shot. It may take longer in some shooting scenes,  
and images will be blurry if you move the camera (or the subject  
moves) before the shutter sound ends.

take steps to protect personal information if necessary, as by  
physically destroying cards.  
The total card capacity indicated on the formatting screen may be

Low-Level Formatting  
Perform low-level formatting in the following cases: [Memory card  
error] is displayed, the camera is not working correctly, card image  
reading/writing is slower, continuous shooting is slower, or movie  
recording suddenly stops. Low-level formatting erases all data on

Using an Eye-Fi Card  
Still Images  
Movies  
Before using an Eye-Fi card, always confirm that local use is  
permitted ( 3).  
Inserting a prepared Eye-Fi card enables automatic wireless transfer  
of images to a computer or uploading to a photo-sharing website.  
Images are transferred by the Eye-Fi card. Refer to the card’s user  
manual or contact the manufacturer for instructions on preparing  
and using cards or resolving transfer problems.  
When using an Eye-Fi card, keep the following points in mind.  
- Cards may continue to transmit radio waves even when [Eye-  
Fi trans.] is set to [Disable] ( 210). Remove the Eye-Fi  
card before entering hospitals, aircraft, or other areas where  
transmission is prohibited.  
- When troubleshooting image transfer issues, check the card and  
computer settings. For details, refer to the card’s user manual.  
- Poor Eye-Fi connections may cause image transfer to take a  
long time, and transfer may be interrupted in some cases.  
- Eye-Fi cards may become hot, due to their transfer functions.  
- Battery power will be consumed faster than in normal use.  
- Camera operation may become sluggish. To resolve this, try  
setting [Eye-Fi trans.] to [Disable].

Troubleshooting  
If you think there is a problem with the camera, first check the  
following. If the items below do not solve your problem, contact a  
Canon Customer Support Help Desk.  
Power  
Nothing happens when the power button is pressed.  
Confirm that the battery pack is charged ( 26).  
Confirm that the battery pack is inserted facing the correct way ( 28).  
Confirm that the memory card/battery cover is fully closed ( 28).  
Dirty battery terminals reduce battery performance. Try cleaning the  
terminals with a cotton swab and reinserting the battery pack a few times.  
The battery pack runs out of power quickly.  
Battery performance decreases at low temperatures. Try warming the  
battery pack a little by putting it in your pocket, for example, ensuring  
that the terminals do not touch any metal objects.  
Dirty battery terminals reduce battery performance. Try cleaning the  
terminals with a cotton swab and reinserting the battery pack a few times.  
If these measures do not help and the battery pack still runs out of power  
soon after charging, it has reached the end of its life. Purchase a new  
battery pack.  
The lens is not retracted.  
Do not open the memory card/battery cover while the camera is on.  
Close the cover, turn the camera on, and then turn it off again ( 28).  
The battery pack is swollen.  
Battery swelling is normal and does not pose any safety concerns.  
However, if battery swelling prevents the battery pack from fitting in the  
camera, contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

Handling Precautions  
The camera is a high-precision electronic device. Avoid  
dropping it or subjecting it to strong impact.  
Never bring the camera near magnets, motors, or other  
devices that generate strong electromagnetic fields, which may  
cause malfunction or erase image data.  
If water droplets or dirt adheres to the camera or screen, wipe  
with a dry soft cloth, such as an eyeglass cloth. Do not rub  
hard or apply force.  
Never use cleaners containing organic solvents to clean the  
camera or screen.  
Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens. If cleaning is  
difficult, contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.  
To prevent condensation from forming on the camera after  
sudden temperature changes (when the camera is transferred  
from cold to warm environments), put the camera in an  
airtight, resealable plastic bag and let it gradually adjust to the  
temperature before removing it from the bag.  
If condensation does form on the camera, stop using it  
immediately. Continuing to use the camera in this state may  
damage it. Remove the battery pack and memory card, and  
wait until the moisture has evaporated before resuming use.  
Before long-term battery storage, use up the battery pack’s  
remaining charge, remove it from the camera, and store it in  
a plastic bag or similar container. Storing a partially charged  
battery pack over extended periods (about a year) may shorten  
its life or affect performance.
