CAUTIONS
z Avoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places subject to strong sunlight or high
temperatures, such as the dashboard or trunk (boot) of a car. Exposure to intense sunlight and heat
may cause the batteries to leak, overheat or explode, resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High
temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing. Ensure that there is good ventilation when
using the battery charger to charge the batteries or power the camera.
z Do not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas. Storage in such areas could lead to fire,
electrical shock or other damage.
z Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong impacts or shocks that could lead to
injury or damage the equipment when wearing or holding it by the strap.
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. In addition, do not touch the surface of the flash after taking several
pictures in rapid succession. Either action could result in burns.
z Do not operate the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to its lens. The resulting heat build-up
could damage the flash.
z Ensure that the battery charger is plugged into a power outlet of the specified rating, not over the
specified rating. The plug of the battery charger varies according to region.
z Do not use the battery charger or compact power adapter if the cable or plug is damaged, or if the
plug is not fully inserted into the power outlet.

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.
Avoid Condensation Related Problems
Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water
droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces. You can avoid this by placing the equipment in an
airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from
the bag.
If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera
Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation.
Continued use may damage the equipment. Remove the CF card and battery or power cord (if connected)
from the camera and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.
Extended Storage
When not using the camera for extended periods of time, remove the batteries from the camera or battery
charger and store the equipment in a safe place. Storing the camera for extended periods with batteries
installed will run down the battery and may damage the camera.

Preparing the Camera
z When the indicator next to the viewfinder
blinks green, the camera is writing,
reading, erasing, or transmitting an image
to or from the CF card. Do not perform the
following operations as recorded images
may be damaged as a result.
• Turn the camera off
• Open the CF card slot/battery cover
• Shake the camera
z You are recommended to use CF cards
that have been formatted in your camera
(p. 18). The card supplied with the
camera may be used without further
formatting.
z We recommend that you use the
separately sold AC Adapter Kit ACK800 to
power the camera during long usage
sessions (p. 109).
z The separately sold battery charger kit
lets you use rechargeable NiMH
batteries to power the camera (p. 106).
z See Battery Performance (p. 114).
16
Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Canon Manuals
z For information about the Battery and
Charger Kit and AA-size rechargeable
NiMH batteries, see the System Map
(separate from this guide).
z See CF Cards and Estimated Capacities
(Recordable Images) (p. 114).
Proper Battery Handling
z Use AA-size alkaline or Canon AA-size NiMH
batteries (sold separately) only. For information
on handling the AA-size rechargeable NiMH
batteries, see Using the Power Kits (Sold
Separately) (p. 106).
z Never use manganese or lithium batteries, as
these battery types may overheat in the camera.
z Since the performance of alkaline batteries
may differ according to brand, the operating
time of the batteries you purchase may not be
as long as the batteries that came with the
camera.
Preparing the Camera
z Camera operating time may shorten at low
temperatures when alkaline batteries are used.
Also due to their specifications, alkaline batteries
may expire faster than NiMH batteries. If you are
using the camera in cold areas or for a long time,
we recommend using Canon AA-size NiMH
Battery Kit NB4-200 (a 4-battery Kit).
z While it is possible to use AA-size nickelcadmium batteries, performance is unreliable
and their use is not recommended.
z Never mix unused and partially used
batteries. Always load two fresh (or fully
recharged) batteries at the same time.
z Be careful to load the batteries with their
positive (+) and negative (-) ends in the right
direction.
z Never mix batteries of different types or from
different manufacturers. Both batteries
should be identical.
z Before inserting the batteries, wipe the battery
terminals well with a dry cloth. Oil from one's skin
or other dirt may cause a considerable reduction
in the number of recordable images or reduced
usage time.
z Battery performance deteriorates at low
temperatures (especially with alkaline batteries).
If you are using the camera in cold areas and
batteries are running down faster than they
should, you may be able to restore performance
by placing batteries in an inner pocket to warm
them up prior to use. But be careful that you don't
put the batteries into a pocket together with a
metal key chain or other metallic objects, as these
objects may cause batteries to short-circuit.
z If you do not plan to use the camera for a long
time, remove the batteries from the camera and
store them in a safe place. Batteries may leak
and damage the camera if left installed during
prolonged periods of non-use.
WARNINGS
Never use damaged batteries or batteries
whose outer seal is completely or partially
missing or peeled off, as there is risk that
such batteries may leak, overheat, or
burst. Always check the seals on storebought batteries before loading them, as
some batteries may come with defective
seals. Do not use batteries with defective
seals.
17
Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Canon Manuals
Preparing the Camera
Never use batteries that look like this.
Batteries with all or part of the seal
(electrical insulation sheath) peeled
off.
The positive electrode (plus
terminal) is flat.
Formatting a CF Card
You should always format a CF card when
you wish to use a new one, or when you wish
to delete not only the images in the CF card
but also other data.
Formatting a CF card will permanently
erase all data already on it, including all of
its protected images. Check the contents
before formatting cards that were
previously used.
The negative terminal is correctly
formed (protruding from the metal
base), but the seal does not
extend up over the edge of the
metal base.

About CF Cards
z CF 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 a CF card.
z Moving a CF card rapidly between temperature
extremes will cause condensation to form in the

About the Histogram
The histogram is a graph that allows you to
judge the brightness of the shot image.
The greater the bias toward the left in the
graph, the darker the image. The greater
the bias toward to the right, the brighter the
image. If the image is too dark, adjust the
exposure compensation to a positive
value. Similarly, adjust the exposure
compensation to a negative value if the
image is too bright (p. 65).

Compose the image so that the
subject appears in the center of
the viewfinder.
z Image Seen in Viewfinder vs.
Recorded Image
When shooting an image, a larger range
than the one visible in the viewfinder
usually gets recorded. You can confirm the
actual range that will be recorded in the
LCD monitor. In addition, due to the
viewfinder’s specification, the range visible
Shooting – The Basics
in the viewfinder may actually differ from
the actual recorded image. The closer the
subject is to the lens, the more noticeable
the difference will be. In some cases,
portions of images shot up close that
appear in the viewfinder will not appear in
the recorded image. You are
recommended to use the LCD monitor
during macro photography (p. 40).
z About the AF Function
This camera employs AiAF (artificial
intelligence autofocus) technology, which
uses a broad metering field to calculate the
focal distance with high precision. It
delivers a crisp focus even when the
photographic subject is slightly off-center.
The camera can also automatically focus
on the center when AiAF is set to [Off].
- The AF-assist beam can be turned off
(p. 57).
If animals are your subject, turn off the
beam when shooting in the dark to avoid
startling them. However, please keep in
mind the following facts.
• If the AF-assist beam is turned off, it
may become more difficult for the
camera to focus.
• Even if the AF-assist beam is turned
off, if the flash is on red-eye reduction
auto or is in slow synchro mode, the
red-eye reduction lamp may emit.
z AF-assist Beam
- The AF-assist beam will sometimes emit
when the shutter button is pressed
halfway to assist focusing in certain
conditions, i.e. dark conditions.

z When shooting with a high ISO
sensitivity and using the flash, there is
more of a chance of overexposure the

steady orange when recharging is
completed. Recharging time may vary
according to shooting conditions and
battery charge levels.
z The flash fires twice. A pre-flash will fire
and will be followed by the main flash.
The pre-flash is used by the camera to
obtain the subject’s exposure data so
that the main flash can be set to the
optimal intensity for the shot.
Red-eye Reduction
z Light reflecting back from eyes can
make them appear red when the flash is
used in dark areas. Under these
conditions, use the Auto with red-eye

effective, the subject must be looking
right at the red-eye reduction lamp. Try
asking them to look directly at the lamp.

Replacing the Date Battery
If the LCD monitor displays the Date/Time
menu when you turn on the camera, this
means that the date battery has run down
and the clock has stopped running. Please
purchase a replacement battery (battery type
CR2016) and install it as follows. (The date
battery is preinstalled at the factory and may
therefore expire earlier than its rated lifespan
after the camera has been purchased.)
2
Pull out the date battery holder in
the direction of the arrow.
3
Shift the date battery slightly in
the direction of the arrow a and
pull out the battery in the
direction as shown with arrow b.
Be particularly careful to keep the date
batteries out of the reach of children. Seek
medical assistance immediately if a child
swallows a battery since corrosive battery
fluids could damage the stomach or
intestinal wall.

z This charger can be used only to charge
Canon AA-size NiMH batteries NB-2AH.
Please do not attempt to charge NB-2AH
batteries in any other type of charger.
z Never mix new batteries together with
batteries that have been used in other
devices.
z When recharging batteries from the
camera, always recharge both of them
at the same time.
z Do not mix batteries with different
purchase dates or different charge
states.
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 Do not recharge batteries in enclosed
areas that tend to retain heat.
z Repeatedly recharging batteries before
they become fully depleted may cause
batteries to lose capacity. Do not
recharge the batteries until the LCD
monitor displays the "Change the
batteries" message.
z Wipe the battery terminals well with a
dry cloth in the following situations, as
the terminals may be soiled with oil from
one's skin or other dirt:
- If the battery usage time has
considerably diminished.
- If the number of recordable images
has considerably diminished.
- When charging the batteries (insert
and remove the batteries two or three
times before charging)
- When charging completes in a matter
of a few minutes (the battery charger
indicator remains lit)
z You may not be able to fully charge the
batteries due to their specifications right
after purchase or after long periods of
non-use. If this happens, use the
batteries until their charge is depleted
before charging them again. After doing
this several times, battery performance
will be restored.

Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Canon Manuals
Appendix
z Since storing a fully charged battery for
long periods of time (about one year)
can shorten its lifecycle or affect
performance, you are recommended to
use the battery in the camera until it is
completely discharged and to store it at
normal temperature (23 °C/73 °F or
less). If you do not use the battery for
long periods of time, charge it fully and
discharge it fully in the camera at least
once a year before returning it to
storage.
z If battery usage time is considerably low
despite their terminals' being wiped and
the battery charger's indicator remaining
lit, it is possible that the batteries have
reached the end of their lifespan. Switch
to different, unused batteries. If you are
purchasing new batteries, look for
Canon AA-size NiMH batteries.
z Leaving batteries in the camera or
charger may damage it causing battery
leakage. Remove batteries from the
camera or charger and store in a dry
cool location when not in use.

z It takes approximately 110 minutes when
two batteries are loaded one at each
end of the charger and 250 minutes with
four for the charger to fully recharge
them (as determined by testing at Canon
facilities). Please do not charge batteries
in areas where the temperature is
outside the range of 0 to 35 °C (32 to
104 °F).
z Charging time varies according to
ambient temperature and to the
batteries' initial charge state.
z The battery charger may emit noise
while charging. This is not a malfunction.
z You can also use Battery/Charger Kit
CBK100. For Battery/Charger Kit
CBK100, use Canon AA-size NiMH
batteries NB-1AH.

Photo Tips and Information
This section offers photography tips.
Tip for Using the Self-timer (p. 41)
Normally, the camera shakes a little when you press
the shutter button.
Setting the self-timer to
delays the shutter release
for two seconds and allows the camera to stop
shaking, thus preventing a blurred image.
Even better results can be obtained by placing the
camera on a stable surface or by using a tripod to
shoot.
Underexposure
The whole recorded image is
dark, which makes white
elements of the image appear
gray. Shooting bright subjects
or in backlit conditions may
cause the image to be
underexposed. Adjust the
exposure compensation
towards the + end.
Optimal Exposure
How to Adjust the Exposure (p. 65)
This camera automatically adjusts the exposure to
shoot images with the optimal brightness.
However, recorded images may sometimes be
brighter or darker than the actual image depending
on the shooting conditions. If this happens, adjust
the exposure compensation manually.
Overexposure
The whole recorded image is
bright, which makes black
elements of the image
appear gray. Shooting dark
subjects or in dark places
may cause the image to be
overexposed. Adjust the
exposure compensation
towards the - end.

Photo Tips and Information
ISO Speed (p. 69)
The ISO speed is the numeric representation of the
camera's sensitivity to light. The higher the ISO
speed, the higher the sensitivity. A high ISO speed
allows you to shoot images in dark indoor or
outdoor conditions without a flash and also helps
prevent blurred images due to camera shake. This
is convenient when shooting images in places
where flash photography is prohibited. The ISO
speed setting makes full use of the available light,
resulting in images that convey the feel of the place
they were shot.
