They have no effect on the recorded image.
Power Save Function Read This First The camera is equipped with a power save function. When the mode dial is in any position other than lock, the power automatically turns off in the following circumstances. • Shooting The camera powers down after approximately 3 minutes if a function is not accessed. • Replay The camera powers down after approximately 5 minutes if a function is not accessed. This does not apply while a slide show is playing.
Preparing the Camera This section describes the procedures required to prepare the camera for use. Using the Battery Pack • Compact Power Adapter CA-PS200 can be used with power supplies ranging from 100 to 240 volts. Charging the Battery Pack • The battery pack requires approximately 70 minutes to charge fully from a completely discharged state (as charged with Compact Power Adapter CA-PS200 according to standard Canon testing conditions).
Preparing the Camera 1. Attach the power cord to the compact power adapter and plug the power cord into the electrical outlet. 2. Insert the battery pack into the socket at the top of the compact power adapter. The charging indicator will flash green while it is charging. When charging is complete, the indicator will change to a steady green. Battery Pack NB-4H Compact Power Adapter CA-PS200 24 Charging Indicator • The compact power adapter will not charge while the DC Coupler DR-200 is connect.
Installing the Battery Pack 1. Ensure that the mode dial is set to lock. 2. Slide the battery cover in the direction of the arrow. 3. Insert the battery pack as shown. • Do not use Battery Pack NB-4H with products other than the specified Canon products. • The battery pack continues to discharge a minimal portion of its power while installed in the camera, even with the camera power off. This will shorten the battery life. • Remove the battery pack from the camera during extended periods of disuse.
Preparing the Camera Checking the Battery Charge Refreshing the Battery Pack The battery charge can be checked by turning the mode dial to the play, auto or program modes and viewing the battery icon in the display panel. We recommend that you prolong the battery pack life by refreshing it approximately once a month before charging it. This should also be done if the battery pack has not been used for an extended period of time.
2. Insert the battery pack into the socket at the top of the compact power adapter. Refresh Button The charging indicator will flash orange while refreshing the battery pack. • Be careful not to press the refresh button a second time during the refresh cycle. If this button is mistakenly pressed, the charging indicator will change to a flashing green and begin to charge the battery pack. 4.
Using an AC Power Source Preparing the Camera It is convenient to power the camera with the DC coupler and compact power adapter connected to an AC power source when operating indoors. This is particularly recommended when the camera is connected to a computer and exchanging files, a relatively power-intensive process. • The compact power adapter cannot charge the battery pack while it is being used as an AC power source. • Unplug the compact power adapter from the electrical outlet after use.
Using a 2CR5 Lithium Battery 2CR5 • It is advisable to use Battery Pack NB-4H or an AC power source as the standard power source for the camera. • It is best to avoid using lithium batteries for long periods of time in the camera. Resume the use of Battery Pack NB-4H or AC power sources as quickly as possible. • Using the LCD monitor while shooting will raise power consumption and hasten the depletion of the lithium battery.
Replacing the Button Battery and Setting the Date/Time Preparing the Camera 30 The camera is equipped with a button battery to maintain the date and time settings even when the main battery is removed. When the button battery charge runs out and the date and time settings are lost, the button battery icon( ) flashes in the display panel.
