Safety Precautions

• Before using the product, please ensure that you read the safety precautions described below. Always ensure that the product is used correctly.

• The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to prevent injuries to yourself and other persons, or damage to the equipment.

• Be sure to also check the guides included with any separately sold accessories you use.

Warning

Denotes the possibility of serious injury or death.

• Do not trigger the flash in close proximity to people’s eyes.

Exposure to the intense light produced by the flash could damage eyesight. In particular, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away from infants when using the flash.

• Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants.

Strap: Putting the strap around a child’s neck could result in asphyxiation.

• Use only recommended power sources.

• Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the product.

• Avoid dropping or subjecting the product to severe impacts.

• To avoid the risk of injury, do not touch the interior of the product if it has been dropped or otherwise damaged.

• Stop using the product immediately if it emits smoke, a strange smell, or otherwise behaves abnormally.

• Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean the product.

• Do not let the product come into contact with water (e.g. sea water) or other liquids.

• Do not allow liquids or foreign objects to enter the camera.

This could result in electrical shock or fire.

If liquids or foreign objects come into contact with the camera interior, immediately turn the camera off and remove the battery.

If the battery charger becomes wet, unplug it from the outlet and consult your camera distributor or a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

• Do not look through the viewfinder at bright light sources (such as the sun on a clear day).

This could damage your eyesight.

10


• Use only the recommended battery.

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

• Unplug the power cord periodically, and using a dry cloth, 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.

The battery may explode or leak, resulting in electrical shock or fire. This could cause injury and damage the surroundings. In the event that a battery leaks and the battery electrolyte contacts eyes, mouth, skin or clothing, immediately flush with water.

• Turn the camera off in places where camera use is prohibited.

The electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the operation of electronic instruments and other devices. Exercise adequate caution when using the camera in places where use of electronic devices is restricted, such as inside airplanes and medical facilities.

• Do not play the supplied CD-ROM(s) in any CD player that does not support data

CD-ROMs.

It is possible to suffer hearing loss from listening with headphones to the loud sounds of a CD-ROM played on an audio CD player (music player). Additionally, this could damage the speakers.

Caution

Denotes the possibility of injury.

• When holding the camera by the strap, be careful not to bang it, subject it to strong impacts or shocks, or let it get caught on other objects.

• Be careful not to bump or push strongly on the lens.

This could lead to injury or damage the camera.

• When using the flash, be careful not to cover it with your fingers or clothing.

This could result in burns or damage to the flash.

• Avoid using, placing or storing the product in the following places:

Places subject to strong sunlight

Places subject to temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F)

Humid or dusty areas

These could cause leakage, overheating or an explosion of the battery, resulting in electrical shock, fire, burns or other injuries.

High temperatures may cause deformation of the camera or battery charger casing.

• Viewing images on the camera screen for prolonged periods may cause discomfort.

11


Caution

Denotes the possibility of damage to the equipment.

• Do not aim the camera at bright light sources (such as the sun on a clear day).

Doing so may damage the image sensor.

• When using the camera on a beach or at a windy location, be careful not to allow dust or sand to enter the camera.

This may cause the product to malfunction.

• In regular use, small amounts of smoke may be emitted from the flash.

This is due to the high intensity of the flash burning dust and foreign materials stuck to the front of the unit. Please use a cotton swab to remove dirt, dust or other foreign matter from the flash to prevent heat build-up and damage to the unit.

• Remove and store the battery when you are not using the camera.

If the battery is left inside the camera, damage caused by leakage may occur.

• Before you discard the battery, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators.

Contacting other metal materials may lead to fire or explosions.

• Unplug the battery charger from the power outlet after charging is complete, or when you are not using it.

• Do not place anything, such as cloth, on top of the battery charger while it is charging.

Leaving the unit plugged in for a long period of time may cause it to overheat and distort, resulting in fire.

• Do not place the battery near pets.

Pets biting the battery could cause leakage, overheating or explosion, resulting in fire or damage.

• Do not sit down with the camera in your pocket.

Doing so may cause malfunctions or damage the screen.

• When putting the camera in your bag, ensure that hard objects do not come into contact with the screen.

• Do not attach any hard objects to the camera.

Doing so may cause malfunctions or damage the screen.

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 results 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.

• For information on your camera's warranty, please refer to the Warranty information provided with your camera. For Canon Customer Support, please refer to the warranty information for contact information.

• 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.

• When the camera is used over an extended period, it may become warm.

This does not indicate damage.

Still Images

• A flashing icon warns that images are more likely to be blurred by camera shake. In this case, mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures to keep it still.

• If your shots are dark despite the flash firing, move closer to the

subject. For details on the flash range, see “Specifications” (p. 37).

• The subject may be too close if the camera only beeps once when you press the shutter button halfway. For details on the focusing range

(shooting range), see “Specifications” (p. 37).

• To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may be activated when shooting in low-light conditions.

• A blinking h icon displayed when you attempt to shoot indicates that shooting is not possible until the flash has finished recharging.

Shooting can resume as soon as the flash is ready, so either press the shutter button all the way down and wait, or release it and press it again.

• The shutter sound will not be played when the Sleeping and Babies

(Sleeping) icons (p. 58) are displayed.

• The flash firing during shots indicates that the camera has automatically attempted to ensure optimal colors in the main subject and background (Multi-area White Balance).

Movies

• The camera may become warm when shooting movies repeatedly over an extended period. This does not indicate damage.

Microphone

• Keep your fingers away from the microphone while shooting movies.

Blocking the microphone may prevent audio from being recorded or may cause the recording to sound muffled.

• Avoid touching camera controls other than the screen when shooting movies, because sounds made by the camera will be recorded.

• To correct suboptimal image color that may occur in movie

shooting (p. 78) after you recompose shots, touch

to stop recording, and then touch again to resume recording.

• Audio is recorded in stereo.

Image Stabilization Icons

Optimal image stabilization for the shooting conditions is automatically applied

(Intelligent IS). Additionally, the following icons are displayed in A mode.

Image stabilization for still images

Image stabilization for still images, when panning*

Image stabilization for macro shots (Hybrid IS)

Image stabilization for movies, reducing strong camera shake, as when shooting while walking

(Dynamic IS)

Image stabilization for subtle camera shake, such as when shooting movies at telephoto

(Powered IS)

No image stabilization, because the camera is mounted on a tripod or held still by other means

* Displayed when you pan, following moving subjects with the camera. When you follow subjects moving horizontally, image stabilization only counteracts vertical camera shake, and horizontal stabilization stops. Similarly, when you follow subjects moving vertically, image stabilization only counteracts horizontal camera shake.

•

To cancel image stabilization, set [IS Mode] to [Off] (p. 127). In this case, an IS

icon is not displayed.

On-Screen Frames

A variety of frames are displayed once the camera detects subjects you are aiming the camera at.

• A white frame is displayed around the subject (or person’s face) determined by the camera to be the main subject, and gray frames are displayed around other detected faces. Frames follow moving subjects within a certain range to keep them in focus.

However, if the camera detects subject movement, only the white frame will remain on the screen.

• When you are pressing the shutter button halfway and the camera detects subject movement, a blue frame is displayed, and the focus and image brightness are constantly adjusted (Servo AF).

• Try shooting in

G mode (p. 105) if no frames are displayed, if frames

are not displayed around desired subjects, or if frames are displayed on the background or similar areas.

Using Face ID

If you register a person ahead of time, the camera will detect that person’s face, and prioritize focus, brightness, and color for that person when shooting.

In A mode, the camera can detect babies and children based on registered birthdays and optimize settings for them when shooting.

This function is also useful when searching for a specific registered person

among a large number of images (p. 135).

Personal Information

• Information such as images of a face (face info) registered with Face ID, and personal information (name, birthday) will be saved on the camera.

Additionally, when registered people are detected, their names will be recorded in still images. When using the Face ID function, be careful when sharing the camera or images with others, and when posting images online where many others can view them.

• When disposing of a camera or transferring it to another person after using

Face ID, be sure to erase all information (registered faces, names, and

birthdays) from the camera (p. 74).

Registering Face ID Information

You can register information (face info, name, birthday) for up to 12 people to use with Face ID.

Shooting

If you register a person ahead of time, the camera will prioritize that person as the main subject, and optimize focus, brightness, and color for that person when shooting.

X When you point the camera toward a subject, the names of up to 3 registered people will be displayed when they are detected.

z Shoot.

X Displayed names will be recorded in still images. Even if people are detected, but their names are not displayed, the names (up to 5 people) will be recorded in the image.

• People other than those registered may be mistakenly detected as the registered person if they share similar facial features.

• Registered people may not be correctly detected if the captured image or scene differs drastically from the registered face information.

• If a registered face is not detected, or not easily detected, overwrite registered information with new face info. Registering face info right before shooting will allow for easier detection of registered faces.

• If a person is mistakenly detected as another person and you continue shooting,

you can edit or erase the name recorded in the image during playback (p. 138).

• Because faces of babies and children change quickly as they grow, you should

update their face info regularly (p. 72).

•

When information display is set to off (p. 48), names will not display, but will be

recorded in the image.

• If you don’t want names to be recorded in still images, choose [Face ID Settings] on the 4 tab, choose [Face ID], and then choose [Off].

Tips on Using Included Accessories

Effective Battery and Charger Use

• Charge the battery on (or immediately before) the day of use

Charged batteries gradually lose their charge, even when they are not used.

IXUS 240 HS

You can easily check the charge state of the battery by attaching the cover so that S is visible on a charged battery, and attaching it so that S is not visible on an uncharged battery.

• Long-term battery storage

After using up all remaining battery power, remove the battery from the camera.

Store the battery with the cover attached. Storing a partially charged battery over extended periods (about a year) may shorten its life or affect performance.

• Using the battery charger abroad

The charger can be used in areas with 100 – 240 V AC power (50/60 Hz). For power outlets in a different format, use a commercially available adapter for the plug. Never use an electrical transformer designed for traveling, which may damage the battery.

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] (p. 193). 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].

• Eye-fi transmission is not possible when the camera is connected to a wireless LAN.

Connection status of Eye-Fi cards in the camera can be checked on the shooting screen (in regular information display mode) or playback screen (in simple information display mode).

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 ON/OFF button is pressed.

• Confirm that you are using the correct type of battery, and that there is sufficient charge

(p. 205).

•

Confirm that the battery is inserted facing the correct way (pp. 18, 20).

IXUS 510 HS

•

Confirm that the memory card cover and battery cover are fully closed (pp. 18, 19).

IXUS 240 HS

•

Confirm that the memory card/battery cover is fully closed (p. 20).

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, with the terminal cover on.

• 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.

The lens is not retracted.

IXUS 510 HS

• Do not open the memory card cover or battery cover while the camera is on. Close the

cover, turn the camera on, and then turn it off again (pp. 18, 19).

IXUS 240 HS

• Do not open the memory card/battery cover while the camera is on. Close the cover,

turn the camera on, and then turn it off again (p. 20).

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.

Display on a TV

Camera images look distorted or not displayed on a TV (p. 176).

Shooting

Cannot shoot.

•

In Playback mode (p. 23), press the shutter button halfway (p. 47).

is displayed when the shutter button is pressed halfway (p. 65).

•

Set [IS mode] to [Continuous] (p. 127).

• Set the flash mode to

h (p. 122).

•

Increase the ISO speed (p. 108).

• Mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures to keep it still. In this case, set [IS

Mode] to [Off] (p. 127).

Shots are out of focus.

• Press the shutter button halfway to focus on subjects before pressing it all the way down

to shoot (p. 47).

•

Make sure subjects are within focusing range (see “Specifications” (p. 37)).

•

Set [AF-assist Beam] to [On] (p. 81).

• Confirm that unneeded functions such as macro are deactivated.

•

Try shooting with focus lock or AF lock (pp. 118, 121).

Shots are blurry.

• Blurring may occur more often when Touch Shutter is used to shoot, depending on shooting conditions. Hold the camera still when shooting.

No AF frames are displayed and the camera does not focus when the shutter button is pressed halfway.

• 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.

! (p. 65).

White dots or similar image artifacts appear in flash shots.

• This is caused by light from the flash reflecting off dust or airborne particles.

197

Troubleshooting

Shots look grainy.

•

Lower the ISO speed (p. 108).

•

High ISO speeds in some shooting modes may cause grainy images (p. 86).

Subjects are affected by red-eye (p. 76).

•

Set [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] (p. 81) to activate the red-eye reduction lamp (p. 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.

•

Edit images using red-eye correction (p. 155).

Recording to the memory card takes too long, or continuous shooting is slower.

•

Use the camera to perform low-level formatting of the memory card (p. 162).

Shooting settings or FUNC. menu settings are not available.

• Available setting items vary by shooting mode. Refer to “Functions Available in Each

Shooting Mode”, “FUNC. Menu”, and “Shooting Menu” (pp. 208 – 213).

The Babies or Children icon does not display.

• The Babies and Children icons will not display if the birthday is not set in face

information (p. 67). If the icons still do not display even when you set the birthday, re-

register face information (p. 72), or make sure that the date/time are set correctly

(p. 21).

Shooting Movies

The elapsed time shown is incorrect, or recording is interrupted.

• Use the camera to format the memory card, or switch to a card that supports high-speed recording. Note that even if the elapsed time display is incorrect, the length of movies

on the memory card corresponds to the actual recording time (p. 161).

is displayed and shooting stops automatically.

The camera’s internal memory buffer filled up as the camera could not record to the memory card quickly enough. Try one of the following measures.

•

Use the camera to perform low-level formatting of the memory card (p. 162).

•

Lower the image quality (p. 78).

•

Switch to a memory card that supports high-speed recording (see “Specifications”

(p. 37)).

Subjects look distorted.

• Subjects that pass in front of the camera quickly may look distorted. This is not a malfunction.

198

Troubleshooting

Playback

Playback is not possible.

• Image or movie playback may not be possible if a computer is used to rename files or alter the folder structure. Refer to the ImageBrowser EX User Guide for details on folder structure and file names.

Playback stops, or audio skips.

• Switch to a memory card that you have performed low-level formatting on with the

camera (p. 162).

• There may be brief interruptions when playing movies copied to memory cards that have slow read speeds.

• When movies are played on a computer, frames may be dropped and audio may skip if computer performance is inadequate.

Touch-Screen

Having difficulty choosing items or buttons by touch.

• Operations may be easier if you press a little harder or use the stylus attached to the

strap, because the touch-screen panel works by detecting pressure (p. 14).

•
