Set the mode dial to Shoot. When a correct exposure cannot be obtained, the shutter speed and aperture values are shown in red on the LCD monitor when the button is pressed halfway.
Page 102: Setting The Shutter Speed
Setting the Shutter Speed When you set the shutter speed, the camera automatically selects an aperture value to match the brightness of the subject. Faster shutter speeds allow you to catch an instantaneous image of a moving subject, while slower speeds create a flowing effect and allow you to shoot without a flash in dark areas.
Page 103: Safety Shift
The shutter speed, zoom and aperture value have the following relationship. Maximum Wide Angle Maximum Telephoto The fastest shutter speed for flash synchronization is 1/500 second*. Therefore, even if the shutter speed is preset to a speed higher than 1/500 second, the camera automatically resets the shutter speed to 1/500 second during shooting.
Page 104: Setting The Aperture
Setting the Aperture The aperture adjusts the amount of light entering through the lens. When you set the aperture value, the camera automatically selects a shutter speed to match the brightness. Selecting a lower aperture value (opening the aperture) allows you to blur the background and create a beautiful portrait.
Page 105 The maximum shutter speed with synchronized flash is 1/500 second*. Therefore, even if an aperture value is preset, the aperture value may automatically be reset to match the synchronized flash speed. * When using an external flash, see pp. 258, 259. Aperture Value Display The larger the aperture value, the smaller the lens opening, allowing less light to enter the camera.

Appendix Safety Precautions Before using the camera, please ensure that you read the safety precautions described below and in the “Safety Precautions” section. Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly. The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to instruct you in the safe and correct operation of the camera and its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to yourself, other persons and equipment.
Page 246 Please consult your camera distributor or the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk. Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzine, thinners or other flammable substances to clean or maintain the equipment.
Page 247 Do not place the batteries near a heat source or expose it to direct flame or heat. The batteries should not be immersed in water or sea water. Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the batteries. Avoid dropping or subjecting the batteries to severe impacts that could damage the casing.
Page 248 Leaving the units plugged in for a long period of time may cause them to overheat and distort, resulting in fire. When recharging the Canon AA-size NiMH batteries, use only a specified battery charger. The compact power adapter is designed for exclusive use with this equipment.
Page 249 Do not get the camera caught on other objects or subject it to strong impacts or shocks when wearing or holding it by the neck strap. Be careful not to bump or strongly push the end of the lens. The above-mentioned could lead to injury or damage the equipment. Be careful not to allow dust or sand into the camera when using it at a beach or place with strong winds.
Page 250 Do not operate the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to the surface of the flash. Be careful not to cover the flash with your fingers or clothing when shooting. The flash may be damaged and emit smoke or noise. The resulting heat build-up could damage the flash.
Page 251: Preventing Malfunctions
When using the camera under low temperature conditions or over long periods, you are recommend to use Canon AA-size NiMH batteries (sold separately). Camera operating time may shorten at low temperatures when alkaline batteries are used.
Page 252: Memory Card
Never mix unused and partially used batteries. The partially used batteries may leak. Do not install the batteries with their terminals ( reversed. Do not mix batteries of different types or from different manufacturers. Before installing the batteries, wipe the battery terminals well with a dry cloth.
Page 253 Memory cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend them, apply force to them, or subject them to shocks or vibration. Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the memory card. Do not allow dirt, water or foreign objects to contact the terminals on the back of the memory card.
Page 254: Lcd Monitor
Be careful when transferring or disposing of a memory card. Formatting or erasing the data on a memory card merely changes the file management information on the memory card and does not ensure that its contents are completely deleted. When disposing of a memory card, take precautions, such as physically destroying the memory card, to prevent personal information leaks.
Page 255: Attaching The Lens Hood
Attaching the Lens Hood When shooting a wide-angle photo that is backlit without using a flash, we recommend attaching the LH-DC50 Lens Hood to reduce the amount of light entering the lens. Align the notch ( mark on the camera, and turn the lens hood in the direction of the arrow until locked.

Page 257 Replace them with new batteries. If you are purchasing new batteries, look for Canon AA-size NiMH batteries. Leaving batteries in the camera or charger may result in damage from battery leakage. When not in use, remove the batteries from the camera or charger and store them in a cool, dry location.
Page 258 It takes approximately 4 hours 40 minutes for the charger to fully recharge the batteries after they have been depleted.
