Safety Precautions

• Use only the recommended battery.

• Do not place the battery near or in direct flame.

• Unplug the power cord periodically and wipe away any dust and dirt that has collected on the plug, the exterior of the power outlet, and the surrounding area.

• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

• Do not use the equipment in a manner that exceeds the rated capacity of the electrical outlet or wiring accessories. Do not use if the power cord or plug are damaged, or not fully plugged into the outlet.

• Do not allow dirt or metal objects (such as pins or keys) to contact the terminals or plug.

How to store the battery for long periods:

Deplete and remove the battery from the camera. Attach the terminal cover and store the battery. Storing a battery for long periods of time (about a year) without depleting it may shorten its life span or affect its performance.

The battery charger can also be used when abroad.

The charger can be used in regions that have 100 – 240 V (50/60 Hz) AC power.

If the plug does not fit the outlet, use a commercially available plug adapter. Do not use electrical transformers for foreign travel as they will cause damage.

The battery may develop a bulge.

This is a normal characteristic of the battery and does not indicate a problem.

However, if the battery bulges to the point where it will no longer fit into the camera, please contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

If the battery is quickly depleted even after charging, it has reached the end of its life span. Purchase a new battery.

The camera plays the shutter sound and takes the shot.

Since the shot is being taken while the shutter sound plays, be careful not to move the camera.

Does the length of the shutter sound change?

Since the time required to shoot differs according to the scene you want to take, the length of the shutter sound may change.

If the camera or subject moves while the shutter sound is playing, the recorded image may be blurry.

If you shoot without pressing the shutter button halfway, the image may not be in focus.

Taking Pictures (Smart Auto)

• What if white and gray frames appear when you point the camera toward a subject?

When faces are detected, a white frame appears on the face of the main subject, while gray frames appear on other detected faces. The frames will

follow the subjects within a certain range (p. 84).

If the main subject moves, however, the gray frames will disappear, leaving only the white frame.

The subject is too far away for the flash to reach. The effective flash range is approximately 30 cm – 3.5 m (12 in. – 12 ft.) at maximum wide angle ( j), and approximately 1.0 – 2.0 m (3.3 – 6.6 ft.) at maximum telephoto ( i).

• What if the camera beeps once when the shutter button is pressed halfway?

Your subject may be too close. Move the zoom lever toward j and hold it until the lens stops moving. The camera will be at its maximum wide angle setting and you will be able to focus on subjects that are about 1 cm (0.4 in.) or more away from the end of the lens. Move the zoom lever toward i and hold it until the lens stops moving. The camera will be at its maximum telephoto setting and you will be able to focus on subjects that are about 1 m (3.3 ft.) or more away from the end of the lens.

• What if the lamp lights when the shutter button is pressed halfway?

To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may light when shooting in dark areas.

• What if the
