Preliminary Notes and Legal
Information
• Take and review some test shots initially to make sure the images were
recorded correctly. Please note that Canon Inc., its subsidiaries and
affiliates, and its distributors are not liable for any consequential damages
arising from any malfunction of a camera or accessory, including memory
cards, that result in the failure of an image to be recorded or to be
recorded in a way that is machine readable.
• Images recorded by the camera are intended for personal use. Refrain
from unauthorized recording that infringes on copyright law, and note that
even for personal use, photography may contravene copyright or other
legal rights at some performances or exhibitions, or in some commercial
settings.
• The camera warranty is valid only in the area of purchase. In case of
camera problems while abroad, return to the area of purchase before
contacting a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
• Although the LCD monitor is produced under extremely high-precision
manufacturing conditions and more than 99.99% of the pixels meet
design specifications, in rare cases some pixels may be defective or may
appear as red or black dots. This does not indicate camera damage or
affect recorded images.
• The LCD monitor may be covered with a thin plastic film for protection
against scratches during shipment. If covered, remove the film before
using the camera.

Using an Eye-Fi Card
Still Images
Movies
Before using an Eye-Fi card, always confirm that local use is permitted
(= 2).
Inserting a prepared Eye-Fi card enables automatic wireless transfer of
images to a computer or uploading to a photo-sharing website.
Images are transferred by the Eye-Fi card. Refer to the card’s user manual
or contact the manufacturer for instructions on preparing and using cards or
resolving transfer problems.
• When using an Eye-Fi card, keep the following points in mind.
-Cards may continue to transmit radio waves even when [Eye-Fi
trans.] is set to [Disable] (= 102). Remove the Eye-Fi card before
entering hospitals, aircraft, or other areas where transmission is
prohibited.
-When troubleshooting image transfer issues, check the card and
computer settings. For details, refer to the card’s user manual.
-Poor Eye-Fi connections may cause image transfer to take a long
time, and transfer may be interrupted in some cases.
-Eye-Fi cards may become hot, due to their transfer functions.
-Battery power will be consumed faster than in normal use.
-Camera operation may become sluggish. To resolve this, try
setting [Eye-Fi trans.] to [Disable].

Troubleshooting
If you think there is a problem with the camera, first check the following.
If the items below do not solve your problem, contact a Canon Customer
Support Help Desk.
Power
Nothing happens when the power button is pressed.
A2600
• Confirm that the battery is charged (= 12).
• Confirm that the battery is inserted facing the correct way (= 13).
• Confirm that the memory card/battery cover is fully closed (= 13).
• Dirty battery terminals reduce battery performance. Try cleaning the terminals with a
cotton swab and reinserting the battery a few times.
A1400
• Confirm that new batteries of the correct type are inserted (= 14).
• Confirm that the batteries are inserted facing the correct way (= 14).
• Confirm that the memory card/battery cover is fully closed (= 14).
• Dirty battery terminals reduce battery performance. Try cleaning the terminals with a
cotton swab and reinserting the batteries a few times.
A2600
The battery is depleted quickly.
• Battery performance decreases at low temperatures. Try warming the battery a little
by putting it in your pocket, for example, ensuring that the terminals do not touch any
metal objects.
• If these measures do not help and the battery is still depleted soon after charging, it
has reached the end of its life. Purchase a new battery.
A1400
Batteries are depleted quickly.
A2600
The battery is swollen.
• Battery swelling is normal and does not pose any safety concerns. However, if battery
swelling prevents the battery from fitting in the camera, contact a Canon Customer
Support Help Desk.

• Use AE lock or spot metering (= 55).
Contents: Basic
Operations
• Reduce the lighting on subjects.
• Try shooting with focus lock or AF lock (= 60, 62).
• To have AF frames displayed and the camera focus correctly, try composing the
shot with higher-contrast subject areas centered before you press the shutter button
halfway. Otherwise, try pressing the shutter button halfway repeatedly.
Preliminary Notes
and Legal Information
• High ISO speeds in some shooting modes may cause grainy images (= 56).
• Set [Lamp Setting] to [On] (= 44) to activate the red-eye reduction lamp (= 4)
in flash shots. Note that while the red-eye reduction lamp is on (for about one
second), it is not possible to shoot, because the lamp is counteracting red-eye. For
best results, have subjects look at the red-eye reduction lamp. Also try increasing the
lighting in indoor scenes and shooting at closer range.

Handling Precautions
Specifications
• The camera is a high-precision electronic device. Avoid dropping it or
subjecting it to strong impact.
Camera Effective
Pixels (Max.)
Approx. 16 million pixels
• Never bring the camera near magnets, motors, or other devices that
generate strong electromagnetic fields, which may cause malfunction or
erase image data.
Lens Focal Length
5x zoom: 5.0 (W) – 25.0 (T) mm
(35mm film equivalent: 28 (W) – 140 (T) mm)

• If water droplets or dirt adheres to the camera or screen, wipe with a dry
soft cloth, such as an eyeglass cloth. Do not rub hard or apply force.
• Never use cleaners containing organic solvents to clean the camera or
screen.
• Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens. If cleaning is difficult,
contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
• To prevent condensation from forming on the camera after sudden
temperature changes (when the camera is transferred from cold to warm
environments), put the camera in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and
let it gradually adjust to the temperature before removing it from the bag.
• If condensation does form on the camera, stop using it immediately.
Continuing to use the camera in this state may damage it. Remove
the battery/batteries and memory card, and wait until the moisture has
evaporated before resuming use.

remove it from the camera, and store it in a plastic bag or similar
container. Storing a partially charged battery over extended periods
(about a year) may shorten its life or affect performance.
