Safety Precautions
10
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.
The slideshow transition effects may cause discomfort when viewed for
prolonged periods.
When using the separately sold lens filters, be sure to attach them firmly.
If the lens becomes loose and falls off, it may crack, and the shards of glass may lead to cuts.
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.

Press lightly until the camera beeps twice
and AF frames appear where the camera
focused.
Press fully (Press fully to shoot).
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.
Formatting or erasing data on a memory card merely changes the file
management information on the card and does not ensure its contents are
completely erased. Be careful when transferring or disposing of a memory
card. When disposing of a memory card, take precautions such as
physically destroying the card to prevent personal information leaks.
The total capacity of the memory card displayed in the formatting screen
may be less than indicated on the memory card.
Perform a low-level format (p. 159) of the memory card when the camera
does not operate properly, the recording/reading speed of a memory card
has dropped, when continuous shooting speed slows down, or when
movie recording stops suddenly.
Pressing the Shutter Button
Does the length of the shutter sound change?
Since the time required to shoot differs depending on 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.

Since the camera can determine the subject and shooting conditions, you can
let it automatically select the best settings for the scene and just shoot. When
the flash fires, the white balance of the main subject and background will be
automatically adjusted to obtain the best color (Multi-area White Balance).
Turn on the camera.
Press the power button.
The start-up screen will appear.
Enter A mode.
Set the mode dial to A.
When you point the camera toward the
subject, the camera will make a slight
noise as it determines the scene.
The icon for the determined scene, and the
IS mode icon will appear on the screen
(pp. 192, 193).
The camera will focus on detected
subjects and display frames on them.
Compose the shot.
Moving the zoom lever toward i
(telephoto) will zoom in on your subject,
making it appear larger. Moving the lever
toward j (wide angle) will zoom out from
your subject, making it appear smaller.
(The zoom bar showing the zoom position
appears on the screen.)
If you move the zoom lever all the way
toward i (telephoto) or j (wide angle),
the camera will zoom in or out quickly. If
you move the zoom lever slightly, it will
zoom in or out slowly.

AF Frame
What if...
What if the color and brightness of the images do not turn out as
expected?
The scene icon (p. 192) that appears on the screen may not match the actual
scene, and you may not obtain the expected results. If this happens, try
shooting in G mode (p. 77).
What if the screen is off even when 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?
A white frame appears on the face or subject that the camera detected as the
main subject, while gray frames appear on other detected faces. The frames will
follow the subjects within a certain range.
If the subject moves, however, the gray frames will disappear, leaving only the
white frame.
What if a frame does not appear on the subject you want to shoot?
The subject may not be detected, and frames may appear on the background.
If this happens, try shooting in G mode (p. 77).
What if a blue frame appears when you press the shutter button halfway?
A blue frame appears when a moving subject is detected; the focus and
exposure will continuously adjust (Servo AF).
What if a flashing appears?
Attach the camera to a tripod so that the camera does not move and blur the
image.
What if the camera does not play any sounds?
You may have been pressing the l button while turning on the camera,
which will turn off all sounds. To turn the sounds on, press the n button to
choose [Mute] in the 3 tab, then press the qr buttons to choose [Off].
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 7.0 m (1.6 23 ft.) at maximum wide angle (j), and
approximately 1.4 3.0 m (4.6 9.8 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 about 1.4 m (4.6 ft.) or more away when
the camera is at maximum telephoto (i).
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 low light conditions.
What if the h icon blinks when you try to shoot?
The flash is charging. You can shoot when recharging ends.
What if an icon appears on the screen?
The icon for the determined scene, and the IS mode icon will appear on the
screen. For details on the icons that appear, see Scene Icons (p. 192) and IS
Mode Icons (p. 193).

depending on the subject, memory card and camera settings.
The values in the table are based on 4:3 aspect ratio. If the aspect ratio is changed
(p. 55), more images can be shot because the data size per image will be smaller than
with 4:3 images. However, since 16:9 images have a setting of 1920 x 1080 pixels,

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.
When you move the camera rapidly from cold to hot temperatures,
condensation may form on the internal or external surfaces of the camera.
To avoid condensation, put the camera in an airtight, resealable plastic bag
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
card, and wait until the moisture has completely evaporated before
resuming use.
