Page 44 Safety Precau ions • 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.

Page 212: Using An Eye-Fi Card
Still Images Movies Using an Eye-Fi Card Before using an Eye-Fi card, always confirm that local use is permitted (= 2 ). Inserting a prepared Eye-Fi card enables automatic wireless transfer of images to a computer or uploading to a photo-sharing website. 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] (= 1 80). 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]. 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).

Page 215: Troubleshooting
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 power button is pressed. • Confirm that new batteries of he correct type are inserted (= 1 5, 16). • Confirm that the batteries are inserted facing the correct way (= 1 5). • Confirm that the memory card/battery cover is fully closed (= 1 6). • Dirty battery terminals reduce battery performance. Try cleaning the terminals with a cotton swab and reinser ing the batteries a few times. Batteries are depleted quickly. • Battery performance decreases at low temperatures. Try warming the batteries a little by putting hem in your pocket, for example, ensuring that the terminals do not touch any metal objects. The lens is not retracted. • Do not open the memory card/battery cover while the camera is on. Close he cover, turn he camera on, and then turn it off again (= 1 6). Display on a TV Camera images look distorted or not displayed on a TV (= 1 63).
Page 216 Troubleshooting [Charging the flash] is displayed when the shutter button is pressed, and shooting is not possible (= 4 5). ] is displayed when the shutter button is pressed halfway (= 4 5). • Set [IS Mode] to [Continuous] (= 1 01). • Raise the flash and set the flash mode to [h] (= 9 8). • Increase the ISO speed (= 8 2). • Mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures to keep it still. In this case, you should set [IS Mode] to [Off] (= 1 01). Shots are out of focus. • Press the shutter button halfway to focus on subjects before pressing it all the way down to shoot (= 3 5). • Make sure subjects are within focusing range (= 2 05). • Set [AF-assist Beam] to [On] (= 6 2). • Confirm hat unneeded functions such as macro are deactivated.
Page 217: Shooting Movies
Troubleshooting Subjects in flash shots look too bright, highlights are washed-out. • Shoot wi hin flash range (= 2 05). • Lower the flash and set he flash mode to [!] (= 4 3). • Adjust brightness by using flash exposure compensation or changing the flash output level (= 9 9, 107). White dots or similar image artifacts appear in flash shots. • This is caused by light from the flash reflecting off dust or airborne particles. Shots look grainy. • Lower the ISO speed (= 8 2). Subjects are affected by red-eye (= 5 6). • Set [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] (= 6 2) to activate the red-eye reduction lamp (= 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 he red-eye reduc ion lamp. Also try increasing he ligh ing in indoor scenes and shooting at closer range. •...
Page 218 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 Software Guide (= 2 5) 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 wi h the camera (= 1 47). • 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. Sound is not played during movies. • Adjust the volume (= 2 4, 111) if you have activated [Mute] (= 1 42) or the sound in the movie is faint. • No sound is played for movies shot in [ ] mode (= 7 2) because audio is not recorded in this mode.

Page 235: Handling Precautions
Handling Precautions • The camera is a high-precision electronic device. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impact. • Never bring the camera near magnets, motors, or other devices that generate strong electromagnetic fields, which may cause malfunction or erase image data. • If water droplets or dirt adheres to the camera or screen, wipe with a dry soft cloth, such as an eyeglass cloth. Do not rub hard or apply force. • Never use cleaners containing organic solvents to clean the camera or screen. • Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens. If cleaning is difficult, contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk. • To prevent condensation from forming on the camera after sudden temperature changes (when the camera is transferred from cold to warm environments), put the camera in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and let it gradually adjust to the temperature before removing it from the bag. • If condensation does form on the camera, stop using it immediately. Continuing to use the camera in this state may damage it. Remove the batteries and memory card, and wait until the moisture has evaporated before resuming use.
