This could damage your eyesight.

Denotes the possibility of serious injury or death.

Safety Precautions

COPY

• Use only the recommended battery.

• Do not place the battery near or in direct flame.

• Unplug the power cord periodically, and using a dry cloth, wipe away any dust

and dirt that has collected on the plug, the exterior of the power outlet, and the surrounding area.

• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

• Do not use the equipment in a manner that exceeds the rated capacity of the

electrical outlet or wiring accessories. Do not use if the power cord or plug are damaged, or not fully plugged into the outlet.

• Do not allow dirt or metal objects (such as pins or keys) to contact the terminals

or plug.

The battery may explode or leak, resulting in electrical shock or fire. This could cause injury and damage the surroundings. In the event that a battery leaks and the battery electrolyte contacts eyes, mouth, skin or clothing, immediately flush with water.

• 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.

Denotes the possibility of injury.

Caution

• When holding the camera by the strap, be careful not to bang it, subject it to

strong impacts or shocks, or let it get caught on other objects.

• Be careful not to bump or push strongly on the lens.

This could lead to injury or damage the camera.

• When using the flash, be careful not to cover it with your fingers or clothing.

This could result in burns or damage to the flash.

• Avoid using, placing or storing the product in the following places:

- Places subject to strong sunlight

- Places subject to temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F)

- Humid or dusty areas

These could cause leakage, overheating or an explosion of the battery, resulting in electrical shock, fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may cause deformation of the camera or battery charger casing.

• Viewing images on the camera screen for prolonged periods may cause

discomfort.

Safety Precautions

COPY

Caution

• Do not aim the camera at bright light sources (such as the sun on a clear day).

Doing so may damage the image sensor.

• When using the camera on a beach or at a windy location, be careful not to allow

dust or sand to enter the camera.

This may cause the product to malfunction.

• In regular use, small amounts of smoke may be emitted from the flash.

This is due to the high intensity of the flash burning dust and foreign materials stuck to the front of the unit. Please use a cotton swab to remove dirt, dust or other foreign matter from the flash to prevent heat build-up and damage to the unit.

• Remove and store the battery when you are not using the camera.

If the battery is left inside the camera, damage caused by leakage may occur.

• Before you discard the battery, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators.

Contacting other metal materials may lead to fire or explosions.

• Unplug the battery charger from the power outlet after charging is complete, or

when you are not using it.

• Do not place anything, such as cloth, on top of the battery charger while it is

charging.

Leaving the unit plugged in for a long period of time may cause it to overheat and distort, resulting in fire.

• Do not place the battery near pets.

Pets biting the battery could cause leakage, overheating or explosion, resulting in fire or damage.

• Do not sit down with the camera in your pocket.

Doing so may cause malfunctions or damage the screen.

• When putting the camera in your bag, ensure that hard objects do not come into

contact with the screen.

• Do not attach any hard objects to the camera.

Doing so may cause malfunctions or damage the screen.

Denotes the possibility of damage to the equipment.

Preliminary Notes and Legal

COPY

Information

• Take and review some test shots initially to make sure the images were

recorded correctly. Please note that Canon Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliates, and its distributors are not liable for any consequential damages arising from any malfunction of a camera or accessory, including memory cards, that results in the failure of an image to be recorded or to be recorded in a way that is machine readable.

• Images recorded by the camera are intended for personal use. Refrain

from unauthorized recording that infringes on copyright law, and note that even for personal use, photography may contravene copyright or other legal rights at some performances or exhibitions, or in some commercial settings.

• The camera warranty is valid only in the area of purchase. In case of

camera problems while abroad, return to the area of purchase before contacting a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

• Although the LCD monitor is produced under extremely high-precision

manufacturing conditions and more than 99.99% of the pixels meet design specifications, in rare cases some pixels may be defective or may appear as red or black dots. This does not indicate camera damage or affect recorded images.

• The LCD monitor may be covered with a thin plastic film for protection

against scratches during shipment. If covered, remove the film before using the camera.

• When the camera is used over an extended period, it may become warm.

This does not indicate damage.

Touch-Screen Operations

subject. For details on the flash range, see “Specifications” in the Getting Started guide.

• The subject may be too close if the camera only beeps once when you

press the shutter button halfway. For details on the focusing range (shooting range), see “Specifications” in the Getting Started guide.

• To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may be

activated when shooting in low-light conditions.

• A blinking h icon displayed when you attempt to shoot indicates that

shooting is not possible until the flash has finished recharging. Shooting can resume as soon as the flash is ready, so either press the shutter button all the way down and wait, or release it and press it again.

• The shutter sound will not be played when the Sleeping and Babies

(Sleeping) icons (p. 50) are displayed.

• The camera may become warm when shooting movies repeatedly

over an extended period. This does not indicate damage.

• Keep your fingers away from the

microphone while shooting movies. Blocking the microphone may prevent audio from being recorded or may cause the recording to sound muffled.

• Avoid touching camera controls other than the screen when shooting

movies, because sounds made by the camera will be recorded.

Using Face ID

Still Images

COPY

If you register a person ahead of time, the camera will detect that person’s face, and prioritize focus, brightness, and color for that person when shooting. In A mode, the camera can detect babies and children based on registered birthdays and optimize settings for them when shooting. This function is also useful when searching for a specific registered person among a large number of images (p. 127).

Personal Information

• Information such as images of a face (face info) registered with Face ID,

and personal information (name, birthday) will be saved on the camera. Additionally, when registered people are detected, their names will be recorded in still images. When using the Face ID function, be careful when sharing the camera or images with others, and when posting images online where many others can view them.

• When disposing of a camera or transferring it to another person after using

Face ID, be sure to erase all information (registered faces, names, and birthdays) from the camera (p. 66).
