Handling Precautions
Camera Care
zThis camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to
physical shock.
zThe camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater.
zTo maximize the camera’s dust- and drip- resistance, keep the terminal
cover, battery compartment cover, card slot cover, and all other covers
rmly closed.
zThis camera is designed to be dust- and drip- resistant, in order to help
prevent sand, dust, dirt, or water that falls on it unexpectedly from getting
inside, but it is impossible to prevent dirt, dust, water, or salt from getting
inside at all. As far as possible, do not allow dirt, dust, water, or salt to get
on the camera.
zIf water gets on the camera, wipe it off with a dry and clean cloth. If dirt,
dust, or salt gets on the camera, wipe it off with a clean, well-wrung wet
cloth.
zUsing the camera in a location with large amounts of dirt or dust may
cause a malfunction.
zCleaning the camera after use is recommended. Allowing dirt, dust, water,
or salt to remain on the camera may cause a malfunction.
zIf you accidentally drop the camera into water or are concerned that
moisture (water), dirt, dust, or salt may have gotten inside it, promptly
consult the nearest Canon Service Center.
zNever leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic eld
such as a magnet or electric motor. Also, avoid using or leaving the
camera near anything emitting strong radio waves, such as a large
antenna. Strong magnetic elds can cause camera malfunction or destroy
image data.
zDo not leave the camera in excessive heat, such as in a car in direct
sunlight. High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.
zThe camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to
disassemble the camera yourself.
28
Page 29
Handling Precautions
zDo not block shutter curtain operation with your nger or other objects.
Doing so may cause a malfunction.
zUse only a commercially available blower to blow away dust when it
adheres to the lens, viewnder, etc. Do not use cleaners that contain
organic solvents to clean the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, take
the camera to the nearest Canon Service Center.
zDo not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your ngers. This is
to prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause
camera malfunction.
zIf the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room,
condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent
condensation, rst put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust
to the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.
zIf condensation forms on the camera, to avoid damage, do not use the
camera or remove the lens, card, or battery.
Turn the camera off and wait until the moisture has fully evaporated
before resuming use.
Even after the camera is completely dry, if it is still internally cold, do not
remove the lens, card, or battery until the camera has adjusted to the
ambient temperature.
zIf the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery
and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while
the camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a
while to check that the camera is still working.
zAvoid storing the camera where there are chemicals that result in rust
and corrosion such as in a chemical lab.
zIf the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its
functions before using it. If you have not used the camera for some time
or if there is an important shoot such as a foreign trip coming up, have
the camera checked by your nearest Canon Service Center or check the
camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.
zThe camera may become hot after repeated continuous shooting or still
photo/movie shooting over an extended period. This is not a malfunction.
zIf there is a bright light source inside or outside the image area, ghosting
may occur.

Handling Precautions
(1)
Screen and Viewnder
zAlthough the screen and viewnder are manufactured with very high
precision technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, 0.01% or fewer
of the pixels may be dead, and there may also be spots of black, red,
or other colors. This is not a malfunction. They do not affect the images
recorded.
zIf the screen is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur
where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only
temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few
days.
zThe screen display may seem slightly slow in low temperatures or
may look black in high temperatures. It will return to normal at room
temperature.
Cards
To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:
zDo not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force,
physical shock, or vibration.
zDo not touch the card’s electronic contacts with your ngers or anything
metallic.
zDo not afx any stickers, etc. on the card.
zDo not store or use the card near anything that has a strong magnetic
eld, such as a television, speakers, or magnets. Also avoid places prone
to having static electricity.
zDo not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
zStore the card in a case.
zDo not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
Lens
zAfter detaching the lens from the camera, put down
the lens with the rear end up and attach the rear lens
cap to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical
contacts (1).

40
Page 41
Charging the Battery
zUpon purchase, the battery is not fully charged.
Charge the battery before use.
zCharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be
used.
Even during storage, a charged battery will gradually drain and lose its
capacity.
zAfter charging the battery, remove it and disconnect the
charger from the power outlet.
zWhen not using the camera, remove the battery.
If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small amount
of power current will keep being released, resulting in excess discharge
and shorter battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover
attached. Storing the battery when it is fully charged may lower the
battery performance.
zThe battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.
The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/60 Hz
power source. If necessary, attach a commercially available plug adapter
for the respective country or region. Do not attach any portable voltage
transformer to the battery charger. Doing so may damage the battery
charger.

zFocusing is not possible (indicated by an orange AF point).
Aim the AF point over an area with good contrast, then press the shutter
button halfway (=54). If you are too close to the subject, move away
and shoot again.
zMultiple AF points are displayed simultaneously.
If multiple AF points are displayed simultaneously, all of these positions
are in focus. As long as one AF point is displayed on the subject, you can
take the picture.
zPressing the shutter button halfway does not focus the
subject.
If the focus mode switch on the lens is set to <MF> (manual focus), set it
to <AF> (autofocus).
zThe shutter speed display is blinking.
Since it is too dark, taking the picture may result in a blurred subject due
to camera shake. Using a tripod or a Canon EL/EX series Speedlite (sold
separately, =220) is recommended.
zWhen the external ash was used, the bottom part of the
picture came out unnaturally dark.
If a hood is attached to the lens, it may obstruct the ash light. If the
subject is close, detach the hood before taking the picture with ash.

Shooting Portraits
The <2> (Portrait) mode blurs the background to make the human subject
stand out. It also makes skin tones and hair look softer.
Shooting Tips
zSelect the location where the distance between the subject
and the background is the farthest.
The further the distance between the subject and background, the more
blurred the background will look. The subject will also stand out better
against an uncluttered dark background.
zUse a telephoto lens.
If you have a zoom lens, use the telephoto end to ll the frame with the
subject from the waist up.
zFocus on the face.
As you focus, make sure the AF point on the face is lit in green before
you shoot. When shooting close-ups of the face, you can set [z: Eye
Detection AF] to [Enable] to shoot with the subject’s eyes in focus.
oThe default setting is <i> (Low-speed continuous shooting). If you keep
holding down the shutter button, you can shoot continuously to capture
changes in the subject’s facial expression and pose.
77
Page 78
Shooting Group Photos
Use the <q> (Group Photo) mode to shoot group photos. You can take a
picture in which both the people in the front and people in the back are all in
focus.
Shooting Tips
zUse a wide-angle lens.
When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to make it easy to get
all the people in the group in focus at once, from the front row to the back.
Also, if you place a little distance between the camera and the subjects (so
that the subjects’ entire bodies are in the shot), the focus range increases
in depth.
zTake multiple shots of the group.
It is recommended to shoot multiple photos in case some people close
their eyes.
oWhen shooting indoors or in low-light, hold the camera steady or use a tripod
to prevent camera shake.

Shooting Landscapes
Use the <3> (Landscape) mode for expansive scenery or to have
everything in focus from near to far. For vivid blues and greens, and very
sharp and crisp images.
Shooting Tips
zWith a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end.
When using a zoom lens, set the lens to the wide-angle end to make the
objects near and far in focus. It also adds breadth to landscapes.
zShooting night scenes.
Shooting with <3> while handholding the camera may cause camera
shake. Using a tripod is recommended.

Panning
If you want to take a picture with the feel of speed and a blurred motion
effect on the subject’s background, use <r> (Panning). If you use a
lens supporting the <r> mode, subject blur is detected, corrected, and
reduced.
Shooting Tips
zTurn the camera to follow the moving subject.
When shooting, turn the camera smoothly as you track the moving
subject. Aim the AF point over the part of the moving subject where you
want to focus, then press the shutter button halfway and keep holding
it down as you turn the camera to match the subject’s speed and
movement. Press the shutter button completely while moving the camera
to take the picture. Keep tracking the subject with the camera.
82
Page 83
Panning
zSet the level of background motion blur.
With [Effect], you can set the level of background motion blur. The [Max]
setting will set a slower shutter speed to increase the background motion
blur around the subject. If the subject blur is noticeable, set [Effect] to
[Med] or [Min] to reduce the blur.
oFor details on lenses compatible with <r> mode, visit the Canon website.
oWith lenses that support <r> mode, the camera automatically corrects
subject blur and (based on the [Effect] setting) adjusts shutter speed,
regardless of the lens IS setting.
oThe AF method can only be set to [1-point AF] or [Zone AF]. By default, it is
set to [Zone AF], with the zone in the center of the screen selected.
oTo prevent camera shake, it is recommended that you hold the camera with
both hands, tighten your arms close to your body, and track the subject’s
movement smoothly to take pictures.
oThis effect is most effective with trains, cars, etc. that move at a constant
speed in one direction.
oTaking test shots or checking the image by playing it back immediately after
shooting is recommended.
oBy default, <i> (Low-speed continuous shooting) is set. At the decisive
moment, press the shutter button completely to take the picture. You can track
moving subjects by panning the camera as you keep holding down the shutter
button to shoot continuously.

Shooting Close-ups
When you want to shoot owers or small things up close, use the <4>
(Close-up) mode. To make small things appear much larger, use a macro
lens (sold separately).
Shooting Tips
zUse a simple background.
A simple background makes small objects such as owers stand out
better.
zMove in as close as possible to the subject.
Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. The lens minimum
focusing distance is measured from the <V> (focal plane) mark on the
top of the camera to the subject. Focusing is not possible if you are too
close.
zWith a zoom lens, use the telephoto end.
If you have a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the subject
look larger.
84

Shooting Food
When you want to take pictures of food, use <P> (Food). The photo will
look bright and appetizing. Also, depending on the light source, the reddish
tinge will be suppressed in the pictures taken under tungsten lights, etc.
Shooting Tips
zChange the color tone.
You can change [Color tone]. To increase the food’s reddish tinge, set it
toward [Warm]. Set it toward [Cool] if it looks too red.

Shooting Night Portraits (With a Tripod)
When you want to photograph people at night and obtain a natural-looking
night scene in the background, use the <6> (Night Portrait) mode. Note
that an external Speedlite is required for shooting. Using a tripod is
recommended.
Shooting Tips
zUse a wide-angle lens and a tripod.
When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to obtain a wide night
view. Also, since camera shake is prone to occur with handheld shooting,
use a tripod.
zCheck the image brightness.
Note that it is recommended to play back the captured image on location
to check the image brightness. If the subject looks dark, move nearer and
shoot again.
zAlso shoot in other shooting modes.
Since camera shake is prone to occur with night shots, shooting also with
<A> and <F> is recommended.
oIf you use the self-timer together with an external Speedlite, the self-timer
lamp will light up briey after the picture is taken.
86
Page 87
Shooting Night Scenes (Handheld)
Using a tripod when shooting a night scene gives the best results. However,
the <F> (Handheld Night Scene) mode enables you to shoot night scenes
even while handholding the camera. In this shooting mode, four shots are
taken consecutively for each picture, and the resulting one image with
reduced camera shake is recorded.
Shooting Tips
zHold the camera rmly.
During shooting, hold the camera rmly and steadily. In this mode, four
shots are aligned and merged into a single image. However, if there is
signicant misalignment in any of the four shots due to camera shake,
they may not align properly in the nal image.
zFor portraits, use an external Speedlite.
If you are to include people in the picture, use an external Speedlite.
To take a nice portrait, the rst shot will use ash. Tell the subject not to
move until all four consecutive shots are taken.
87
Page 88
Shooting Backlit Scenes
When shooting a scene having both the bright and dark areas, use the
<G> (HDR Backlight Control) mode. When you take one picture in this
mode, three consecutive shots are taken at different exposures. This results
in one image, with a wide tonal range, that has minimized the clipped
shadows caused by backlighting.
* HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.
Shooting Tips
zHold the camera rmly.
During shooting, hold the camera rmly and steadily. In this mode, three
shots are aligned and merged into a single image. However, if there is
signicant misalignment in any of the three shots due to camera shake,
they may not align properly in the nal image.
88
Page 89
Shooting Quiet Scenes
Where silence is needed, you can shoot without beeps such as shutter
release sounds.
Shooting Tips
zTake some test shots.
It is recommended to take a few test shots in advance, because under
some shooting conditions, lens aperture adjustment may be audible.
oAs you shoot, a white frame is momentarily displayed around the screen.
oThe drive mode can only be set to <u>, <m>, or <l>.
