Shooting in the Creative Zone Shooting Mode You can freely select camera settings such as the shutter speed and aperture value to suit your shooting purposes. After settings are made, shooting procedures are the same as for “ Shooting (Auto Mode)” (Basic Guide p. 11). Program AE Shooting Mode Using the Mode Dial z For information on the relation between the aperture value and shutter speed see p. 65. z Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at low shutter speeds and with larger aperture values.
You can change the combinations of shutter speeds and aperture values without altering the exposure (p. 85). Setting the Shutter Speed Shooting Mode When you set the shutter speed, 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. 1 Use the W or X button to select the shutter speed, then shoot.
z The aperture value and shutter speed change according to the zoom state as follows. Aperture Value Maximum Wide Angle*1 Maximum Telephoto*2 Shutter Speed (seconds) f/2.7 – 3.5 to 1/1600 f/4.0 – 5.0 to 1/2000 f/5.6 – 7.1 to 1/2500 f/8.0 to 1/3200 f/3.5 – 4.5 to 1/1600 f/5.0 – 6.3 to 1/2000 f/7.1 – 8.0 to 1/2500 *1 Maximum wide angle setting *2 Maximum telephoto setting * For details on using an externally mounted flash, see p. 172.
Setting the Aperture Shooting Mode The aperture adjusts the amount of light entering through the lens. When you set the aperture, the camera automatically selects a shutter speed to match the brightness. Selecting a lower aperture value (opening the aperture) allows you to blur the background and create a beautiful portrait. A higher aperture value (closing it) brings the entire range from foreground to background into focus.
Aperture Setting Display z The larger the aperture value the smaller the lens opening, allowing less light to enter the camera.

Appendix Battery Handling Battery Charge The following icon and message will display. Change the batteries Battery charge is low. If using the camera for an extended period, replace the batteries as soon as possible. Batteries are depleted and the camera can no longer operate. Replace the batteries immediately. Battery Handling Precautions Appendix z This camera uses AA-size alkaline batteries or Canon AA-size NiMH batteries (sold separately).
z Before installing the batteries, wipe the battery terminals well with a dry cloth. If the battery terminals are soiled with oil from one’s skin or other dirt, the number of recordable images may be considerably diminished, or the amount of time the camera can be used reduced. z At low temperatures, battery performance may be reduced and the low battery icon ( ) may appear earlier than usual. Under these conditions, restore the battery performance by warming it in a pocket immediately before use.
Handling the Memory Card SD Memory Card or SDHC Memory Card Write Protect Tab Write Protect Tab Slide the switch up. Writing/Erasing Possible Slide the switch down (you can protect the images and other data on the card). Writing/Erasing Impossible Cautions When Handling Appendix z Memory cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend them, apply force to them, or subject them to shocks or vibration. z Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the memory card.
Formatting z Please note that formatting (initializing) an memory card erases all data, including protected images. z You are recommended to use memory cards that have been formatted in your camera. • The card supplied with the camera may be used without further formatting. • When the camera is malfunctioning, a corrupted memory card might be the cause. Reformatting the memory card may solve the problem. • When a non-Canon brand memory card is malfunctioning, reformatting it may solve the problem.
Using the Power Kits (Sold Separately) Using Rechargeable Batteries (Battery and Charger Kit CBK4-300) This kit includes a battery charger and four rechargeable AA-size NiMH (nickel metal hydride) batteries. Charge batteries as shown below. To a power outlet Charge Indicator • After inserting the batteries, plug the charger (CB-5AH) into an outlet, or attach the power cord to the charger (CB-5AHE, not shown) and plug the other end into an outlet.
z The CB-5AH/CB-5AHE battery charger can only be used to charge Canon AA-size NiMH Battery NB-3AH and NB2AH. Please do not attempt to charge any other type of battery. z Do not mix batteries with different purchase dates or different charge states. When recharging batteries, always recharge all 4 of them at the same time. z 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 consecutive hours.
z If you store batteries for a long period of time (about 1 year), it is recommended that you deplete the batteries in the camera and to then store them at room temperature (0 to 30 °C/32 to 90 °F) in low humidity. Storing them in a fully charged condition can shorten their lifespan or degrade their performance. Again, if you do not use batteries for more than 1 year, fully charge them once a year and deplete them in the camera before storing them.
Using a Compact Power Adapter Kit (Sold Separately) You should use the separately sold Compact Power Adapter CAPS700 when using the camera for long periods of continuous use or for connecting to a computer or printer. Turn the camera power off (Basic Guide p. 7) before connecting or disconnecting the compact power adapter. 1 Connect the power cord to the compact power adapter (a) first and then plug the other end into the power outlet (b). z Plug in the power cord firmly as far as it will go.
