Number of Possible Shots
The number of shots that can be taken is based on the Camera & Imaging Products
Association (CIPA) measurement standard.
Under some shooting conditions, the number of shots that can be taken may be less
than mentioned above.
Battery Charge indicator
An icon or message will appear on the screen indicating the battery's charge
state.
_[_ Sufficient charge.
Slightly depleted, but sufficient.
GO (Blinking red) Nearly depleted. Charge the battery.
"Change the battery pack." Depleted. Recharge the battery.
Charge the battery on the day, or the day before, it will be used.
Charged batteries continue to discharge naturally even if they are not used.
-o=-_............ Attach the cover to a charged battery so that
the A mark is visible.
How to store the battery for long periods:
Deplete and remove the battery from the camera. Attach the terminal cover and
store the battery. Storing a battery for long periods of time (about a year) without
depleting it may shorten its life span or affect its performance.
The battery charger can also be used when abroad.
The charger can be used in regions that have 100 - 240 V (50/6g Hz) AC power.
If the plug does not fit the outlet, use a commercially available plug adapter. Do
not use electrical transformers for foreign travel as they will cause damage.
The battery may develop a bulge.
This is a normal characteristic of the battery and does not indicate a problem.
However, if the battery bulges to the point where it will no longer fit into the
camera, please contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
If the battery is quickly depleted even after charging, it has reached the end of
its life span. Purchase a new battery.

What if the comor and brightness of the images do not turn out as
expected?
The scene icon (p. 187) that appears on the screen may not match the actual
scene, if this happens, try shooting in p mode (p. 83).
What if white and gray frames appear when you point the camera toward
a subject?
A white frame appears on the face or subject that the camera detected as the
main subject, while gray frames appear on other detected faces. The frames will
follow the subjects within a certain range.
if the subject moves, however, the gray frames will disappear, leaving only the
white frame.
What if a frame does not appear on the subject you want to shoot?
The subject may not be detected, and frames may appear on the background.
if this happens, try shooting in p mode (p. 83).
What if a blue frame appears when you press the shutter button halfway?
A blue frame appears when a moving subject is detected; the focus and
exposure will continuously adjust (Servo AF).
What if a flashing _ appears?
Attach the camera to a tripod so that the camera does not move and blur the image.
What if the camera does not pmayany sounds?
Pressing the v button while turning on the camera power will turn off all sounds.
To turn the sounds on, press the MENU button to choose [Mute] from the ?T
tab, then press the _ buttons to choose [Off].
What if the image comes out dark even if the flash fired when shooting?
The subject is too far away for the flash to reach. The effective flash range is
approximately 50 cm - 3.5 m (I .6 - 11.5 ft.) from the end of the lens at
maximum wide angle ([]), and approximately 90 cm - 2.0 m (3.0 - 6.6 ft.) from
the end of the lens at maximum telephoto (r_i).
What if the camera beeps once when the shutter button is pressed
halfway?
Your subject may be too close. When the camera is at maximum wide angle ([]),
move about 3 cm (1.2 ft.) or more away from your subject and shoot. Move about
90 cm (3.0 ft.) or more away when the camera is at maximum telephoto (F_]).
What if the lamp lights when the shutter button is pressed halfway?
To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may light when shooting
in dark areas.
What if the ,_ icon blinks when you try to shoot?
The flash is charging. You can shoot when recharging ends.
