3 Close the battery cover.
Proper Battery Handling
z
Use AA-size alkaline or Canon AA-size NiMH batteries (sold separately) only.
For information on handling the AA-size rechargeable NiMH batteries, see
Using the Power Kits (Sold Separately) (p. 160)
z
Since the performance of alkaline batteries may differ according to
brand, the operating time of the batteries you purchase may not be as
long as the batteries that came with the camera.
z
Camera operating time may shorten at low temperatures when alkaline
batteries are used. Also due to their specifications, alkaline batteries may
expire faster than NiMH batteries. If you are using the camera in cold areas
or for a long time, we recommend using Canon's AA-size NiMH Battery Kit (a
four-piece set).
16
z
While it is possible to use AA-size nickel-cadmium batteries, performance is
unreliable and their use is not recommended.
z
Never mix new batteries together with batteries that have been used in
other devices. The partially used batteries may leak.
z
Be careful to load the batteries with their positive (+) and negative (-)
ends in the right direction.
z
Never mix batteries of different types or from different manufacturers.
All four batteries should be identical.
z
Before inserting the batteries, wipe the battery terminals well with a dry cloth.
Oil from one's skin or other dirt may cause a considerable reduction in the
number of recordable images or reduce usage time.
z
Battery performance deteriorates at low temperatures (especially with
alkaline batteries). If you are using the camera in cold areas and batteries
are running down faster than they should, you may be able to restore
performance by placing batteries in an inner pocket to warm them up prior to
use. But be careful that you don't put the batteries into a pocket together with
a metal key chain or other metallic objects, as these objects may cause
batteries to short-circuit.
z
If you do not plan to use the camera for a long time, remove the batteries
from the camera and store them in a safe place. Batteries may leak and
damage the camera if left installed during prolonged periods of non-use.
Warning
Never use damaged batteries or batteries whose outer seal is
completely or partially missing or peeled off, as there is risk that
such batteries may leak, overheat, or burst. Always check the
seals on store-bought batteries before loading them, as some
batteries may come with defective seals. Do not use batteries
with defective seals.
Never use batteries that look like this.
Batteries with all or part of the seal (electrical insulation sheath) peeled off.
1
Preparing the Camera
The positive electrode (plus terminal) is flat.
The negative terminal is correctly formed (protruding from the metal base), but
the seal does not extend up over the edge of the metal base.
17
Battery Status Indications
The following icons or messages indicate the battery status on the LCD
monitor (or viewfinder).
Batteries are beginning to run low. Replace or recharge the batteries if
you wish to continue using the camera.

Memory Card Handling Precautions
Memory cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend
them, apply force to them, or subject them to shocks or vibration.
Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the memory card.
Do not allow dirt, water or foreign objects to contact the terminals on
the back of the card. Do not touch the terminals with your hands or
metal objects.
Do not peel away the original label on the memory card or cover it with
another label or sticker.
When writing on the memory card, use a soft point pen (e.g. felt-tip
pen). Using a sharp point pen (e.g. ball-point pen) or pencil may
damage the memory card or corrupt the recorded data.
Since some or all of the data recorded on the memory card may be
corrupted or erased by electrical noise, static electricity or card
malfunction, making a backup copy of important data is
recommended.
Moving a memory card rapidly between temperature extremes will
cause condensation to form in the card and lead to a malfunction. To
avoid condensation, place the memory card in a sealed plastic bag
before moving it into a different temperature zone and allow it to adjust
slowly to the new temperature.
If condensation forms on the memory card, store it at room
temperature until the water droplets have evaporated naturally.
Do not use or store memory cards in the following locations.
- Locations subject to dust or sand
- Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures

If it is not fully closed, the image will appear
reversed.

when the camera is not in use.
Using the Viewfinder
If the surroundings are too bright (for example, when you are shooting
outdoors) and images on the LCD monitor are not clear, use the
viewfinder for shooting. Adjust the viewfinder focus (p. 27) with the diopter
adjustment dial (p. 14) so the displayed information appears clearly.
Night Display
When shooting in dark conditions, the camera automatically brightens the
LCD monitor to suit the brightness of the subject*, making it easier to frame
the subject.
* Noise will appear, and the movements of the subject will appear irregular in
the LCD monitor. The brightness of the image displayed in the monitor, and
the brightness of the actual image recorded will be different (this function
cannot be disabled).
