Caution Denotes the possibility of damage to the equipment.
•Do not aim the camera at bright light sources (the sun, etc.).
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 camera 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.

Display Summary
Sufficient charge.
Slightly depleted, but sufficient.
(Blinking red) Nearly depleted. Charge the battery.
“Change the battery pack.” Depleted. Recharge the battery.
Using the battery and charger effectively
•Charge the battery on the day, or the day before, it will be used.
Charged batteries continue to discharge naturally even if they are not used.
•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.

Before you use a new memory card or one that has been formatted in other
devices, you should format the card with this camera.
Formatting (initializing) a memory card erases all data on the memory card.
As you cannot retrieve the erased data, exercise adequate caution before
formatting the memory card.
Before formatting an Eye-Fi card (p. 155), be sure to install the software
contained on the card to a computer.
Display the menu.

Pressing the Shutter Button

To take images that are in focus, be sure to first press the shutter button
lightly (halfway) to focus, then press fully to shoot.
Press halfway (Press lightly to focus).
●Press lightly until the camera beeps twice
and AF frames appear where the camera
focused.
Press fully (Press fully to shoot).
XThe 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.
Pressing the Shutter Button
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.
COPY

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. The
camera can also detect and focus on faces, setting the color and brightness
to optimal levels.
Turn on the camera.
●Press the power button.
XThe start-up screen will appear.
Choose A mode.
●Set the mode switch to A.

What if...
•
What if the color and brightness of the images do not turn out as expected?
The scene icon (p.
163
) that appears on the screen may not match the actual
scene. If this happens, try shooting in G mode (p.
72
).
•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?
A blue frame appears when a moving subject is detected; the focus and
exposure will continuously adjust (Servo AF).
•What if the indicator blinks orange and flashes on the screen?
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?
Pressing the n button while turning on the camera power will turn off all
sounds except for warning 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 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 h icon blinks when you try to shoot?
The flash is charging. You can shoot when recharging ends.

Screen Display in Dark Shooting Conditions
The display automatically brightens when shooting in dark conditions,
allowing you to check the composition (Night Display function). However, the
brightness of the image on the screen, and the brightness of the actual image
recorded may be different. Screen noise may appear and the movement of
the subject may appear somewhat jagged on the screen. This has no effect
on the recorded image.
Overexposure Warning during Playback
In “Detailed Information Display” (p. 44), overexposed areas of the image
flash on the screen.
Histogram during Playback
●The graph that appears in “Detailed
Information Display” (p. 164) is called the
histogram. The histogram shows the
distribution of brightness in an image
horizontally, and the amount of brightness
vertically. When the graph approaches the
right side, the image is bright, but when it
approaches the left side, the image is dark,
and in this way you can judge the
exposure.
