contained on the card to a computer.

Taking Pictures (Smart Auto)

What if...

• What if the color and brightness of the images do not turn out as expected?

The scene icon (p. 180) that appears on the screen may not match the actual

scene. If this happens, try shooting in

G mode (p. 71).

• What if the screen is off even the camera is turned on?

The display is set to the viewfinder. Press the l button several times to restore the display to the screen.

• 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.

• What if a blue frame appears when you press the shutter button halfway?

• What if the image comes out dark even if the flash fired when shooting?

The subject is too far away for the flash to reach. The effective flash range is approximately 50 cm – 5.8 m (1.6 – 19 ft.) at maximum wide angle ( j), and approximately 1.4 – 2.8 m (4.6 – 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 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 1.4 m (4.6 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

h icon blinks when you try to shoot?

The flash is charging. You can shoot when recharging ends.

Handling Precautions

•

This camera is a high-precision electronic device. Do not drop it or subject it to strong impacts.

•

Never place the camera close to magnets, motors or other devices that generate strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.

•

If water droplets or dirt become stuck on the camera or screen, wipe with a dry soft cloth or eyeglass wiper. Do not rub or apply force.

•

Never use cleaners containing organic solvents to wipe the camera or screen.

•

Use a commercially available blower brush to remove dust from the lens.

For stubborn dirt contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk as listed on the customer support leaflet supplied with your camera.

•

When you move the camera rapidly from cold to hot temperatures,

Y and let it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.

•

If condensation has formed on the camera, stop using it immediately, as continued use may damage the camera. Remove the battery and memory resuming use.
