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 z Do not aim the camera directly at the sun or strong light sources. • It may damage the photographic sensor (CCD). z 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. z Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is not expressly described in this guide.
Battery z Do not place the battery near a heat source or expose it to direct flame or heat. z The battery should not be immersed in water or sea water. z Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the battery. z Avoid dropping or subjecting the battery to severe impacts that could damage the casing. z 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 z 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. z 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 z 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 z Do not operate the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to the surface of the flash. z 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 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.

Switching between Focusing Modes The autofocus frame (AF frame) indicates the area used to set the focus. Select from among the following three focusing methods. You can have the camera automatically detect the position of a face and use this data to set the focus and exposure* while shooting. In addition, Face the camera will meter the subject so that the face Detect is correctly illuminated when the flash fires. If a face is not detected, shooting will take place with [On].
Shooting z The following occurs when [Face Detect] is selected. - The camera displays up to three frames where it has detected a face. At this point, the frame the camera judges to be the main subject appears in white while the others appear in gray. Pressing the shutter button halfway displays up to 9 green AF frames. - If no white frame displays and all the frames appear in gray, images will be shot using the [On] option rather than [Face Detect].
Shooting Hard-to-Focus Subjects (Focus Lock, AF Lock) It may be difficult to focus on the following types of subjects. zSubjects with extremely low contrast to the surroundings zScenes with a mixture of near and far subjects. zSubjects with extremely bright objects at the center of the composition zSubjects that are moving quickly zSubjects through glass: Try to shoot as close to the glass as possible to reduce the chances of light reflecting back off the glass.
To Release the AF Lock Press the / button. z When shooting with the focus lock or AF lock using the LCD monitor, setting [AiAF] to [Off] (p. 46) makes shooting easier since the camera focuses using the center AF frame only. z The AF lock is convenient because you can let go of the shutter button to compose the image. Moreover, the AF lock is still effective after the picture is taken, allowing you to capture a second image with the same focus. z In mode the AF frame does not display.
Locking the Flash Exposure Setting (FE Lock) You can lock the flash exposure so that the exposure settings are correctly set regardless of the composition of your subject. 1 2 Press the 3 Press the shutter button halfway and press the button. button and select Focus on the part of the subject on which you wish to lock the flash exposure setting. zThe flash will pre-fire and 4 will display.

Spot Meters the area within the spot AE point at the center of the LCD monitor.
Adjusting the Exposure Compensation 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). See Menus and Settings (p. 22). *Default setting. zUse the or button to adjust the exposure compensation and press the FUNC./SET button.

Adjusting the Tone (White Balance) 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. zUse 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 z 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). z 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.
Shooting in a My Colors Mode You can change the look and feel of the pictures you take. My Colors Settings My Colors Off Records normally with this setting.
