Read This First Please Read Test Shots Before you try to photograph important subjects, we highly recommend that you shoot several trial images to confirm that the camera is operating and being operated correctly. Please note that Canon Inc.
Camera Body Temperature If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become warm. Please be aware of this and take care when operating the camera for an extended period. About the LCD Monitor The LCD monitor is produced with extremely highprecision manufacturing techniques. More than 99.99% of the pixels operate to specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as red or black dots.
Warnings zDo not aim the camera directly into the sun or at other intense light sources which could damage your eyesight. zDo not trigger the flash in close proximity to human or animal eyes. Exposure to the intense light produced by the flash may damage eyesight. In particular, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away from infants when using the flash. zStore this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. Accidental damage to the camera or battery by a child could result in serious injury.
zRemove the power cord on a regular periodic basis and wipe away the dust and dirt that collects on the plug, the exterior of the power outlet and the surrounding area. In dusty, humid or greasy environments, the dust that collects around the plug over long periods of time may become saturated with humidity and short-circuit, leading to fire. zDo not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power cord.
CAUTIONS zAvoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places subject to strong sunlight or high temperatures, such as the dashboard or trunk (boot) of a car. Exposure to intense sunlight and heat may cause the battery to leak, overheat or explode, resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing. Ensure that there is good ventilation when using the battery charger to charge the battery. zDo not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas.
Preventing Malfunctions Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data. Avoid Condensation Related Problems Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces.

After settings are made, shooting procedures are the same as for the mode (p. 30). How to Use the Mode Dial 2 mode dial, select the function you wish to use and shoot the image.
z The shutter speed and aperture value will show in red on the LCD monitor when the correct exposure cannot be obtained. z When the flash fires, the shutter speed and aperture value will show in white (for all shooting modes except ). z The combinations of shutter speeds and aperture values can be changed within the same exposure setting (p. 73-p. 75). See page 170 for settings that can be changed in this mode. For information on the relation between the aperture value and shutter speed, see page 74.
z Adjust the shutter speed using the W or X arrow when the image is underexposed (insufficient light) or overexposed (too much light) and the correct exposure cannot be obtained. z The nature of CCD image sensors is such that noise in the recorded image increases at slow shutter speeds. This camera, however, applies special processing to images shot at shutter speeds slower than 1.3 seconds to eliminate the noise, thereby producing high-quality images.
z Adjust the aperture value using the W or X arrow when the image is underexposed (insufficient light) or overexposed (too much light) and the correct exposure cannot be obtained. z Some aperture values cannot be selected depending on the zoom position. z In this mode, the maximum shutter speed with synchronized flash is 1/250 second. The aperture value setting may therefore be changed automatically to match the synchronized flash speed even if its value was set previously.
Selecting an AF Frame When the flash fires, the settings will be automatically adjusted even if Safety Shift has been turned off. The AF frame indicates the area of the composition on which the camera focuses. You can set the AF frame in the following way. z For selecting AiAF (auto selection) or a center-point AF frame, see below. z For selecting a desired position for the AF frame, see p. 77.

Photo Tips and Information Regarding the AF Frame (p. 76) RAW format (p. 57) AiAF* has a wide range of measuring for accurate focusing. AiAF focuses on the object even if it is not exactly in the center of the frame. * "Ai" stands for "Artificial intelligence" and "AF" stands for "Auto Focus." With the standard JPEG file format, the camera processes images after capturing them to produce optimal results. The JPEG format compresses images so that more can be stored on a single CF card.
maintain the image quality while making changes. image is too bright (p. 80). * As measured by Canon’s testing standard. ** The bundled software can be used to open or adjust the parameters of images recorded in the RAW file format. Please consult the Software Starter Guide for details. Tip for Using the Self-timer (p. 53) Normally, the camera shakes a little when you press the shutter button.
Folder File Capacity Each folder usually contains up to 100 images. However, since images shot in Continuous mode and Stitch Assist mode are always saved into the same folder, a folder may contain more than 100 images. The number of images may also exceed 100 if a folder contains images copied from a computer or images shot with other cameras. Please note, however, that the images in folders containing 2001 or more images cannot be played back in this camera. How to Adjust the Exposure (p.
