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. You can avoid this by placing
the equipment in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature
changes slowly before removing it from the bag.
If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera
Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation. Continued use may damage
the equipment. Remove the CF card and battery or power cord (if connected) from the
camera and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.
Extended Storage
When not using the camera for extended periods of time, remove the battery (except the
CR2025 lithium button battery) and store the equipment in a safe place. Storing the camera
for extended periods with a battery installed will run down the battery and may damage the
camera.
Important Safety Functions and Preventive Measures
• When the CF Card Access Lamp is blinking, do not remove the CF card from the camera.
Since the card is reading and writing data when the lamp is blinking, removal of the CF
card at this time will damage the card.
• Do not use any cable other than that supplied with the camera. Use the supplied interface
cable to connect the camera to a computer. Use of any other cable may lead to a
malfunction.

Handling Precautions
The Camera
(1) This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or expose it to physical shock.
(2) The camera is not waterproof and should not be used in wet conditions or underwater. If
the camera gets wet, take it to your nearest Canon dealer as soon as possible. If small
amounts of water splash onto the camera, wipe it with a clean dry cloth. If the camera is
exposed to salty air, wipe it thoroughly with a slightly damp cloth.
(3) Never leave the camera close to devices that generate strong magnetic fields, such as
magnets or electric motors. Do not operate or leave the camera in areas where strong
electromagnetic signals are generated, such as near electronic transmission towers.
Exposing the camera to strong electromagnetic signals can cause it to malfunction and
destroy recorded image data.
(4) Do not leave the camera in hot locations, such as in a car sitting in direct sunlight. High
temperatures can damage the camera.
(5) The camera contains precision circuits. Never attempt to disassemble the camera or
service it yourself.
(6) Use a commercially available blower brush to remove any dust that accumulates on the
camera lens, viewfinder, mirror, or focusing screen. Do not use cleaners that contain
organic solvents to wipe off the camera body or lens. If the camera is very soiled, consult
your nearest Canon dealer.
(7) Do not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your hands. Doing so could corrode the
contacts and interfere with the camera’s normal operation.
(8) If you take the camera quickly from a cold location into a warm one, condensation can
form on the outside and inside of the camera. To prevent this, place the camera in an
airtight, resealable plastic bag until it warms up to the ambient temperature.
(9) Do not use the camera if condensation forms on it, or you could damage it. If this occurs,
remove the CF card and battery from the camera, and wait until the condensation has
evaporated before using the camera.
(10) If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove its battery and store the
camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. While the camera is in storage, operate its
shutter periodically to make sure that it is working.
(11) Avoid storing the camera in locations where potentially corrosive chemicals are used,
such as in a laboratory.
(12) If the camera has been in storage for an extended period, check its components before
using it. If you have not used the camera for some time or are planning to take shots you
will not want to lose (overseas vacation, etc.), have the camera checked by your Canon
dealer beforehand, or check for yourself that the camera components are working
properly.
LCD Panel and LCD Monitor
(1) LCD displays are manufactured using high-precision technology. Even so, very small
black, red, or green dots can occasionally appear on a display. This is within the normal
99.98% range for valid picture elements (pixels), and does not indicate a fault. Such
aberrations on the display also do not affect recorded images.
(2) Do not press hard on an LCD display or subject it to impacts, as this can cause display
flaws and damage.
10
Handling Precautions
(3) If an LCD display becomes soiled, clean it with a commercially available blower brush, or
wipe it with a soft cloth, taking care not to scratch the screen. If an LCD display becomes
extremely soiled, consult your nearest Canon dealer.
(4) By their nature, LCD displays react more slowly at low temperatures, and may appear
dark at high temperatures. The display will return to normal at room temperature.
Lithium Battery for the Date and Time
(1) Store lithium batteries out of reach of small children. The chemicals in these batteries are
very dangerous if the battery is accidentally swallowed. If this happens, seek medical
attention at once.
(2) Do not use metal instruments such as pliers to hold the battery, or you could cause a short
circuit.
(3) Do not disassemble or heat the battery, or you could rupture it.
CF Card
(1) The CF card is a precision device. Do not drop CF cards or expose them to vibrations.
Doing so could lose the images recorded on them.
(2) Do not store or use CF cards near objects that generate magnetic fields, such as TVs,
speakers, or magnets, or in locations affected by static electricity. Doing so could lose the
images recorded on the CF card.
(3) Do not place CF cards in direct sunlight or close to heating appliances. Doing so can
distort the cards and make them unusable.
(4) Do not spill liquids onto CF cards.
(5) Always store your CF cards in a case or cabinet to protect the data stored on them.
(6) Use only CF cards specified by Canon. Otherwise, you may be unable to record or play
back images.
(7) Do not bend CF cards, or subject them to strong impacts.
(8) Do not store CF cards in hot, dusty, or humid locations, or in locations exposed to static
electricity or magnetic fields.

the compact power adapter, the charge
lamp starts blinking and charging begins.
➡ When charging is complete, the lamp stops
blinking and stays on.
➡ It can take up to 90 minutes to fully
charge a battery pack.
● You can check whether a battery is charged
by seeing whether the charge lamp blinks
or stays on.
➡ When charging is complete, the charge
lamp stops blinking and stays on. You can
continue charging the battery for approximately an hour to reach full charge
capacity.
● When charging is complete, remove the
battery and unplug the power cord from the
outlet.
22
Charging the Battery Pack
● When the DC coupler is connected to the compact power adapter, the
adapter cannot be used to charge battery packs.
● Do not charge any battery packs other than model BP-511.
● When the battery pack is in the camera, it discharges slightly all the time even
when the camera is not used. This reduces the battery pack’s life due to over
discharge. When not using the camera, remove the battery pack and store it
with its protective cover attached. Always be sure to charge the battery pack
before using it again.
● If the battery is completely exhausted, it may take 20 or 30 minutes for the
CHARGE lamp to blink when you recharge the battery.
● To protect battery packs and prevent loss of capacity, do not charge them
continuously for more than 24 hours.
● If operating time is sharply reduced even after charging normally, the battery
pack may have exceeded its useful life. Replace it with a new battery pack.
● The adapter can hold and charge two battery packs. Charging starts with the
first battery pack attached. After that battery pack is charged, the charge lamp
goes on and the adapter starts charging the second battery pack.
After charging of both battery packs is completed (both charge lamps are on),
leave both battery packs in the charger for two more hours (one hour per
battery pack) to reach a full charge.
● Charging time depends on the ambient temperature, and the level to which the
battery pack is already charged.
● When battery power is low, the < > icon on the LCD panel blinks. Remove
the battery pack from the camera and charge it.
● The battery pack can operate in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to
104°F), however for full operating performance, use between 10°C (50°F) and
30°C (86°F) is recommended. In cold locations such as ski areas, battery
performance is temporarily decreased and operating time may be reduced.

Basic Operation
Main Switch
The camera operates only after the Main Switch is set to <ON>.
<ON>:Set to this position when the camera is in use.
<OFF>: The camera does not operate.
Set to this position when not using the camera.
● To save battery power, the camera automatically turns off if you do not operate it
for approximately one minute (Auto power off function). To use the camera
again, press the shutter button down halfway, or set the Main Switch to <OFF>
and then set it to <ON> again. You can use the Menu functions to set the Auto
power off function to [1], [2], [4], [8], [15], or [30] minutes, or [Off]. (→120)
● If you set the Main Switch to <OFF> immediately after you take a picture, the
access lamp may blink for a few seconds so that the image is recorded onto the
CF card.
The access lamp will go off when the image has been recorded onto the CF
card and the camera will turn off automatically.
Shutter Button
The shutter button has two stages. You can press it down halfway or fully. The two levels of
shutter button operation are as follows:
1
Before You Start
(1) Halfway pressing (4)
Pressing the shutter button down halfway activates
autofocusing (AF), and also activates the automatic exposure
mechanism and sets the shutter speed and aperture value.
The exposure (the combination of shutter speed and aperture
value) appears on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder.
(2) Full pressing
This releases the shutter and takes the picture.
● This camera has been designed so that taking pictures is given priority over
other operations. Unless the internal memory is full, you will always be able to
take pictures immediately by pressing the shutter button down.
● Regardless of the camera status (playback, menu selection or image recording
in progress, etc.), you can return to shooting mode immediately by pressing the
shutter button down halfway.
