SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following precautions should be observed when servicing.
1. Since many parts in the unit have special safety-related characteristics, always use genuine CANON replacement parts.
Especially critical parts in the power circuit block should not be replaced with other makes.
Critical parts are marked with ! in the schematic diagrams.
2. When servicing, observe the original lead dress. If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which have been overheated or damaged
by the short circuit.
3. After servicing, see to it that all the protective devices such as insulation barriers, insulation papers shields are properly installed.
4. After servicing, make the following leakage current checks to prevent the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.
4-1 Leakage Current Cold Check
1) Unplug the AC cord and connect a jumper between the two prongs on the plug.
2) Measure the resistance value, with an ohmmeter, between the jumpered AC plug and each exposed metallic cabinet part
on the equipment such as screwheads, connectors, control shafts, etc. When the exposed metallic part has a return path to
the chassis, the reading should be between 1MΩ and 5.2MΩ. When the exposed metal does not have a return path to the
chassis, the reading must be ∞.
4-2 Leakage Current Hot Check
1) Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an isolation transformer for this check.
2) Connect a 1.5KΩ 10 watt resistor, paralleled by 0.15µF capacitor, between each exposed metallic parts on the unit and a
good earth ground such as a water pipe, as shown in the figure below.
3) Use an AC voltmeter, with 1000Ω/volt or more sensitivity, to measure the potential across the resistor.
4) Check all exposed metallic parts of the cover (Cable connection, Handle bracket, metallic cabinet.
Screwheads, Metallic overlays, etc), and measure the voltage at each point.
5) Reverse the AC plug in the AC outlet and repeat each of the above measurements.
6) The potential at any point should not exceed 0.75V RMS.
A leakage current tester (FLUKE MODEL : 8000A equivalent) may be used to make the hot checks.
Leakage current must not exceed 0.5 milliamp.
In case a measurement is outside of the limits specified, there is a possibility of a shock hazard, and corrective action must
be taken before returning the instrument to the customer.

1 Development Background
1-1 Development Objectives
The PowerShot G series was developed for providing virtually the same performance as a single-lens
reflex camera in a compact camera, and it has received resounding support from artistically-oriented
advanced amateurs looking for picture quality and functionality.
The PowerShot G3, which went on sale in the fall of 2002, was a product designed as the flagship
model of the PowerShot series by incorporating enhancements in picture quality and functionality
such as a 4x zoom lens, Digital Imaging Processor (DIGIC), and second-curtain synchronization. Furthermore, we plan to introduce a new 5-megapixel CCD into this product design for launching a new
PowerShot G5 model with higher image quality in the PowerShot G series in the summer of 2003.
1-2 Product Concept
As the top model in the PowerShot G3 series, the PowerShot G5 aims to be top class in all major aspects of
camera performance - picture quality, functions, and appearance. The PowerShot G5 will carry the functions
and design of the PowerShot G3, but will sport a black body and replace the CCD with one having
approximately five million effective pixels in the camera unit.

1-3 Design Concept
>>Black body for sharp appearance
Black body to enhance appearance as the advanced model of the PowerShot G3 (advancement to five
megapixels)
--> Providing a sleek, sharp-looking image as a better high-performance camera
-Black body
The body uses the aluminum cover from the PowerShot G3 to keep the metallic feel and adds a
black alumite finish for sense of elegance.
-Metal parts for accenting the black body
A diamond cut finish has been applied to the mode dial and aluminum ring at the lens edge to
enhance the metallic feel. The metallic accents in the black body give the camera a more striking
black appearance.
>>Carrying the same operating features as the G3
Carrying over the large grip, main dial, independent power lever, and other operating features of the
PowerShot G3
-Main dial
Superior feel for Av/Tv/MF operations
Optimized dial position, angle, and shape
-Independent mode lever
Lever shape with comfortable operating feel and two-position system for smooth switching
between shooting and replay
-Slanted zoom/release button
Slanting has been applied to the entire lever section for a natural fitting of the finger on the
zoom/release button when holding the camera.
-Holding
Large grip for easy fitting of fingers

2-1 High Image Quality
-High-precision, approx. 5-effective-megapixel CCD (Total of approx. 5.3 megapixels)
Number of recording pixels <still image>: 2592 x 1944
The PowerShot G5 incorporates a CCD sensor with approx. 5.0-mega camera effective pixels in camera mode
(total of approx. 5.3-mega pixels), giving it the greatest number of pixels in the compact camera class.
This CCD adopts narrower pixel pitch in order to achieve a size almost as small as that of the PowerShot G3’s CCD. High sensitivity and a high S/N are nonetheless achieved
Table 2-1* shows the calculated resolution for each print size, given that the PowerShot G5 will use 2592 x
1944 recording pixels in large mode. As a result, 5 x 7”(cabinet) size will, for example, produce a print
with a resolutions of 6.4 lp/mm, which is close to the limits of visual acuity in humans. Even A3 size
will produce a print with a practical resolution of 2.5 lp/mm.
Table 2-1 Print Size and Resolutions Produced by thePowerShot G5 (Calculated Values)
W x H (Pixel)
Large 2592 x 1944
Medium 1 1600 x 1200
Medium 2 1024 x 768
Small 640 x 480
Table 2-2 Recording Pixels by the PowerShot G5
* The resolutions indicated are derived from the number of pixels in the CCD; in actual practice, these resolutions
will be affected by the printer resolution.
* A couple composed of a white and black line is counted as one.
by the newly developed
structure and driving system of CCD.

2-2 Full Features
- Digital zoom function with continuously changing angle of view (Maximum of approximately 16x when used
in combination with the optical zoom)
Table 2-3 Focal length and capturing pixels of digital zoom
Fig. 2-1 Conceptual diagram of Digital Zoom
The digital zoom magnification of the
PowerShot G5 increases from approx. 3.6x,
employed on PowerShot G3 to approx. 4.1x
owing to employment of 5M-pixel CCD.
The field of view can be adjusted to a maximum of approx. 16x (35 mm film equivalent: 35 - 567 mm) by combining the
approx. 4.1x digital zoom magnification to
the optical 4x zoom lens.
In addition, because it is essential that the
image zooms in smoothly on the LCD monitor when using the digital zoom feature, there are several dozen image capturing
positions for the monitor display. In light of
practical considerations, there are 6 positions, including both end positions, at which
zooming can actually stop.
In the PowerShot G5, the functions provided by
“DIGIC” allow digital zoom and optical zoom to be performed at equivalent zoom speeds, so that
there is no difference that is noticeable in actual use.
1-11
2-3 Ease of Operation
-Computer connection with Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) support (5 new function)
Because the PowerShot G3 supports PTP, a standard protocol, driver-less image communications with
computers are possible when combined with recent operating systems (Windows XP or Mac OS X
(version 10.1/10.2)).
Futhermore computer-controlled camera functions have been added to the PowerShot G5 (Additional functions are shown below in bold).
-View images on the camera using the PC
-Transfer images from the camera to a PC
-Delete images on the camera using the PC
-Remote Capture (Shooting from PC)
-Transfer images from the PC to the camera
-My Camera function settings
-Format the CF card
-Settings such as the “Date” and “owner”

2-4 System Accessories
- Lithium-Ion Battery Charger (CB-5L) sharing compatibility with EOS DIGITAL
The PowerShot G5 battery pack (for rechargeable lithium-ion battery: BP-511/512) is compatible with the
PowerShot G2/G3, and the Battery Charger (CB-5L) developed for the EOS DIGITAL can also be
used.
- Battery Charger (CG-570) sharing compatibility with Canon digital video camcorders
The PowerShot G5 battery pack (BP-511/512) can also be used with the Battery Charger (CG-570) developed
for Canon digital video camcorders.
With the CG-570 charger, batteries are charged by using with the Compact Power Adapter (CA-560/
570) or Car Battery Cable (CB-570). Although the CG-570 is more compact than the CG-560 Battery
Adapter, the CG-570 does not have a rapid-charge function or power supply function to the camera
like the CG-560.
