Safety Warnings Follow these safeguards and use the equipment properly to prevent injury, death, and material damage. Preventing Serious Injury or Death • To prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, and explosions, follow the safeguards below: - Do not use any batteries, power sources, and accessories not specified in this booklet. Do not use any home-made or modified batteries. - Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery pack or back-up battery.
• If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts, do not touch the internal parts due to the possibility of electrical shock. • Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. High-voltage internal parts can cause electrical shock. • Do not look at the sun or an extremely bright light source through the camera or lens. Doing so may damage your vision. • Keep the camera from the reach of small children. The neck strap can accidentally choke the child.
Handling Precautions The Camera camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or expose it to physical shock. • This camera is not waterproof and should not be used in wet conditions or underwater. • The If the camera gets wet, take it to your nearest Canon dealer as soon as possible.

Cleaning the Image Sensor (CMOS) The image sensor is like the film in a film-based camera. If any dust or other foreign matter adheres to the image sensor, it may show up as a dark speck in the images. To avoid this, follow the procedure below to clean the image sensor. Note that the image sensor is a very delicate component. If possible, you should have it cleaned by a Canon Service Center. While you clean the image sensor, the camera must be turned on.

Reviewing Images Image Review The image can be displayed on the LCD monitor immediately after you shoot. You can set one of three image review options: [On] to display the image, [On (Info)] to display both the image and shooting information, and [Off] to not display the image.

Using the Eyepiece Cover During self-timer or remote control operation when your eye does not cover the viewfinder eyepiece, stray light may enter the eyepiece and affect the exposure when the image is captured. To prevent this, use the eyepiece cover (attached to the neck strap) to cover the eyepiece. the eyecup. 1 Remove • From the bottom of the eyecup, push it upward. the eyepiece cover. 2 Attach Slide the eyepiece cover down into the • eyepiece groove to attach it.
3 Settings for Shooting This chapter explains the settings for shooting digital images: Image-recording quality, ISO speed, white balance, processing parameters, file numbering, and auto rotation. For Basic Zone modes, only the image-recording quality (except ), file numbering, auto rotation, and camera setting checking will apply in this chapter.
Image-Recording Quality The widely-used JPEG format is used for image-recording quality settings other than . Images captured in the format must later be processed by a personal computer.

D Setting the ISO Speed The ISO speed is a numeric indication of the sensitivity to light. A higher ISO speed number indicates a higher sensitivity to light. Therefore, a high ISO speed is suited for moving subjects or shooting in low-light conditions. However, the image will contain more noise to make it look coarse or grainy. On the other hand, a low ISO speed will make the image look finer, but it is not suited for freezing motion or shooting in low light.
6 Selecting the White Balance Normally, the setting will set the optimum white balance automatically. If natural colors cannot be obtained with , you can set the white balance manually to suit the respective light source. In the Basic Zone modes, will be set automatically. 1 Press the <6> (∂) button.

3Selecting an AF Point The AF point is used for focusing. The AF point can be selected automatically by the camera or manually by you. In the Basic Zone modes and mode, the AF point selection is automatic only. In the , , , and modes, the AF point can be selected either automatically or manually. Automatic AF point Selection The camera selects the AF point automatically according to situation. Manual AF point Selection You can select any of the seven AF points manually.
3Selecting an AF Point Automatic AF point Selection Manual AF point Selection Focus Lock After achieving focus, you can lock the focus on a subject and recompose the shot. This is called “focus lock.” 1 Set the camera to a Creative Zone mode. 2 3 Select the desired AF point. • Set a Creative Zone mode except . Aim the AF point over the subject and press the shutter button halfway to focus. 4 Keep pressing the shutter button halfway and recompose the image as desired. 5 Shoot.
When Autofocus Fails (Manual Focusing) Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (the focus confirmation light blinks) with certain subjects such as the following: (a) Low-contrast subjects (blue sky, solid-color walls, etc.). (b) Subjects in low light. (c) Extremely backlit and reflective subjects (car with a reflective body, etc.). (d) Overlapping near and far objects (animal in a cage, etc.). In such cases, do one of the following: 1.

RShutter-Priority AE In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture value to suit the brightness of the subject. This is called Shutter-Priority AE. A fast shutter speed can freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject and a slow shutter speed can blur the subject to give the impression of motion. R stands for “time value.” Fast shutter speed Slow shutter speed 1 Set the Mode Dial to . the desired shutter speed.

Shutter Speed Display ” to “ ” indicate the denominator of The shutter speeds from “ the fractional shutter speed. For example, “ ” indicates 1/125 sec.
E Aperture-Priority AE In this mode, you set the desired aperture value and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the subject brightness. The larger or brighter the aperture value (lower f/number) the more blurred the background will become. This effect is ideal for portraits. The smaller or darker the aperture value (higher f/number), the clearer the focus will be for both near and far objects (wider depth of field). E is an abbreviation for Aperture value.

Or decrease the ISO speed. Aperture Value Display The larger the f/number, the smaller the diaphragm will be.
f Manual Exposure In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture value as desired. To determine the exposure, refer to the exposure level indicator in the viewfinder or use a handheld exposure meter. This method is called manual exposure. f stands for manual. 1 Set the Mode Dial to . the desired shutter speed. 2 Select Turn the dial to set the desired • shutter speed. the desired aperture value. 3 Select Hold down the <∑> button and turn • the dial to set the desired aperture value.

Q Automatic Depth-of-Field AE This mode is for obtaining a wide depth of field automatically between a near subject and far subject. It is effective for group photos and landscapes. The camera uses the seven AF points to detect the nearest and farthest subjects to be in focus.

Using the Built-in Flash Using Red-eye Reduction When flash is used in a low-light environment, the subject’s eyes may come out red in the image. “Red eye” happens when the light from the flash reflects off the retina of the eyes. The camera’s red-eye reduction feature turns on the red-eye reduction lamp to shine a gentle light into the subject’s eyes to narrow the pupil diameter or iris. A smaller pupil reduces the chances of red eye from occurring.

Metering Modes The camera has three metering modes: Evaluative, partial, and centerweighted average metering. Evaluative metering This is the camera’s standard metering mode suited for most subjects even under backlit conditions. After detecting the main subject’s position, brightness, background, front and back lighting conditions, camera orientation (horizontal or vertical), etc., the camera sets the proper exposure. Partial metering This is set automatically during AE lock in the Creative Zone modes.
