Using an Eye-Fi Card

Before using an Eye-Fi card, always conrm that local use is permitted.

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] (= 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].

96). Remove the Eye-Fi card before

Troubleshooting

If you think there is a problem with the camera, rst 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.

• Conrm that the battery pack is charged (= 10).

• Conrm that the battery pack is inserted facing the correct way (=

• Conrm that the memory card/battery cover is fully closed (=

• Dirty battery terminals reduce battery performance. Try cleaning the terminals with a

cotton swab and reinserting the battery pack a few times.

The battery pack runs out of power quickly.

• Battery performance decreases at low temperatures. Try warming the battery pack a

little by putting it in your pocket, for example, ensuring that the terminals do not touch any metal objects.

• If these measures do not help and the battery pack still runs out of power soon after

charging, it has reached the end of its life. Purchase a new battery pack.

The lens is not retracted.

• Do not open the memory card/battery cover while the camera is on. Close the cover,

turn the camera on, and then turn it off again (=

12).

The battery pack is swollen.

• Battery swelling is normal and does not pose any safety concerns. However, if

battery swelling prevents the battery pack from tting in the camera, contact a Canon

Customer Support Help Desk.
