Handling Precautions Please Read Test Shots Before you try to photograph important subjects, we highly recommend that you shoot several trial images to confirm that the camera is operating and being operated correctly. Please note that Canon Inc.
Camera Body Temperature If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become warm. Please be aware of this and take care when operating the camera for an extended period. About the LCD Monitor The LCD monitor is produced with extremely high-precision manufacturing techniques. More than 99.99% of the pixels operate to specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as red or black dots.
Warnings Equipment Do not look directly at the sun or at other intense light sources through the viewfinder that could damage your eyesight. Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. • Wrist strap: Placement of the strap around the child's neck could result in asphyxiation. • Memory card: Dangerous if accidentally swallowed. If this occurs, contact a doctor immediately. Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is not expressly described in this guide.
Battery Do not place the battery near a heat source or expose it to direct flame or heat. The battery should not be immersed in water or sea water. Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the battery. Avoid dropping or subjecting the battery to severe impacts that could damage the casing. Use only recommended battery and accessories. Use of battery not expressly recommended for this equipment may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the surroundings.
Others Do not trigger the flash in close proximity to human or animal eyes. Exposure to the intense light produced by the flash may damage eyesight. In particular, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away from infants when using the flash. Keep objects that are sensitive to magnetic fields (such as credit cards) away from the speaker of the camera. Such items may lose data or stop working.
Equipment Do not connect compact power adapters or battery chargers to devices such as electrical transformers for foreign travel because it may lead to malfunctions, excessive heat generation, fire, electric shock or injury. Flash Do not operate the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to the surface of the flash. Be careful not to cover the flash with your fingers or clothing when shooting. The flash may be damaged and emit smoke or noise. The resulting heat build-up could damage the flash.
Preventing Malfunctions Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields 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.

Switching between Focusing Modes Shooting Mode Select from among the following three focusing methods. You can have the camera automatically detect Face the position of a face and use this data to set the Detect focus and exposure* while shooting. *Only in evaluative metering mode (p. 51). (No frame) 1 On The camera detects the subject and highlights the AF frames, from 9 available points, that it will use to determine the focus. Off The camera focuses using the center AF frame.
- The camera may mistakenly identify non-human subjects as a face. If this occurs, switch to the [On] or [Off] option. - When a face is not detected, images will be shot using the [On] option. In [Face Detect] mode, faces may not be detected under the following circumstances. - If the faces appear small, large, dark or bright relative to the overall composition. - If the subjects are looking sideways or lying down, or their faces are partially obscured.

Metering Methods Center Weighted Average Averages the light metered from the entire frame, but gives greater weight to the subject matter at the center. Spot Meters the area within the spot AE point at the center of the LCD monitor.
Adjusting the Exposure Compensation Shooting Mode Adjust the exposure compensation to a positive value to avoid making the subject too dark when it is backlit or shot against a bright background. Adjust the exposure compensation to a negative value to avoid making the subject too bright in night shots or when shot against a dark background. 1 FUNC. Menu * (Exposure Compensation).

The nature of CCD image sensors is such that noise in the recorded image increases at long shutter speeds. This camera, however, applies special processing to images shot at shutter speeds slower than 1.3 seconds to eliminate the noise, thereby producing high-quality images. A certain amount of processing time, however, may be required before the next image can be shot. Use the LCD monitor to confirm that the image was recorded at the desired brightness.
Adjusting the Tone (White Balance) Shooting Mode Normally, the (Auto) white balance setting selects an optimal white balance. When the setting cannot produce natural looking colors, change the white balance using a setting appropriate for the light source. 1 FUNC. Menu * (Auto). See Menus and Settings (p. 22) *Default setting. Use the or button to select a white balance setting and press the FUNC./SET button.
Using the Custom White Balance You can set a custom white balance to obtain the optimal setting for the shooting conditions by having the camera evaluate an object, such as a piece of white paper or cloth, or a photo-quality gray card that you wish to establish as the standard white color. In particular, take a custom white balance reading for the following situations that are difficult for the (Auto) setting to detect correctly.
Shooting You are recommended to set the shooting mode to and the exposure compensation setting to [±0] before setting a custom white balance. The correct white balance may not be obtained when the exposure setting is incorrect (image appears completely black or white). Shoot with the same settings as when reading the white balance data. If the settings differ, the optimal white balance may not be set. In particular, the following should not be changed.

Handling the Memory Card SD Memory Card and 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 Memory cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend them, apply force to them, or subject them to shocks or vibration. Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the memory card.
Formatting Please note that formatting (initializing) an memory card erases all data, including protected images. 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 an AC Adapter Kit (Sold Separately) It is best to power the camera with AC Adapter Kit ACK-DC30 (sold separately) when you are using it for long periods of time or connecting it to a computer. Turn the camera power off before connecting or disconnecting the AC adapter. 1 2 Connect the power cord to the compact power adapter first and then plug the other end into the power outlet.
Using an Externally Mounted Flash (Sold Separately) 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. Tripod Sockets Bracket (Comes with the flash) The flash charge time will lengthen as the battery charge gets weaker.
Before attaching the bracket to the flash, check that the lithium battery (CR123A or DL123) is installed. 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. A tripod can be used even when the flash is attached. Batteries Charge becomes Severely Limited If the battery usage time has considerably diminished, wipe the battery terminals well with a dry cloth. The terminals may be dirty from fingerprints.
Camera Care and Maintenance Never use thinners, benzine, synthetic cleansers or water to clean the camera. These substances may distort or damage the equipment. Camera Body Gently wipe dirt off the camera body with a soft cloth or eyeglass lens wiper.
