• Memory card: Dangerous if accidentally swallowed. If this occurs, contact a doctor immediately.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the

equipment that is not expressly described in this guide.

• To avoid the risk of high-voltage electrical shock, do not

touch the flash portion of the camera if it has been damaged.

• Stop operating the equipment immediately if it emits smoke

or noxious fumes.

• Do not allow the equipment to come into contact with, or become immersed in, water or other liquids. If the exterior comes into contact with liquids or salt air, wipe it dry with a soft, absorbent cloth.

Continued use of the equipment may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately turn the camera power off and remove the camera battery or unplug the battery charger or compact power adapter from the power outlet. Please consult your camera distributor or the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

• Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzine,

thinners or other flammable substances to clean or maintain the equipment.

• Do not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power cord.

• Use only recommended power accessories.

• Remove the power cord on a regular periodic basis and

wipe away the dust and dirt that collects on the plug, the exterior of the power outlet and the surrounding area.

• Do not handle the power cord if your hands are wet. Continued use of the equipment may result in fire or electrical

shock.

• Do not place the battery near a heat source or expose it to

direct flame or heat.

• The battery should not be immersed in water or sea water.

• Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the

battery.

• Avoid dropping or subjecting the battery to severe impacts

that could damage the casing.

• Use only recommended battery and accessories. Use of battery not expressly recommended for this equipment

damage to the surroundings. In the event that a battery leaks and the eyes, mouth, skin or clothing contact these substances,

immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance.

Disconnect the battery charger and compact power adapter

from both the camera and the power outlet after recharging or when they are not in use to avoid fire and other hazards.

Do not place anything, such as tablecloths, carpets, bedding or cushions, on top of the battery charger while it is charging.

_eaving the units plugged in for a long period of time may cause

them to overheat and distort, resulting in fire.

• Use only the specified battery charger to charge the battery.

• The battery charger and compact power adapter are

designed for exclusive use with your camera. Do not use it with other products or batteries.

There is a risk of overheating and distortion which could result in fire or electrical shock.

Before you discard a battery, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators to prevent direct contact with other objects.

_ontact with the metallic components of other materials in waste

containers may lead to fire or explosions.

• Do not trigger the flash in close proximity to human or animal eyes. Exposure to the intense light produced by the flash may damage eyesight.

In particular, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away from infants when using the flash.

• Keep objects that are sensitive to magnetic fields (such as credit cards) away from the speaker of the camera.

Such items may lose data or stop working.

• Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong impacts or shocks when wearing or holding it by the strap.

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

The above-mentioned could lead to injury or damage the equipment.

• Do not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas.

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

Such conditions could lead to fire, electrical shock or other

damage.

• Avoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places

subject to strong sunlight or high temperatures, such as the dashboard or trunk (boot) of a car.

• 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 if not

fully plugged into the outlet.

• Do not use in locations with poor ventilation.

The above-mentioned can cause leakage, overheating or explosion, resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing.

• When not using the camera for extended periods of time, remove the battery from the camera or battery charger and store the equipment in a safe place.

The battery can run down.

About the Digital Tele-Converter

A digital tele-converter is a function that reproduces the effect of a tele-converter lens (supplemental lens that extends the zoom

factor of a ens) when the d g ta zoom s used.

You can shoot a subject 2 - 50 cm (0.8 in. - 1.6 ft.) from the end of the lens at the maximum wide angle setting. With the digital zoom, the image area is 7.5 x 5.5 mm (0.3 x 0.2 in.) at maximum zoom

(approximately 4.0x).

You can set whether or not the red-eye reduction* lamp automatically

fires with the flash.

• The image stabilization function may not be as effective in this mode as in others.

• The shape may not appear as expected if there is too much camera shake or you are shooting a moving light source.

• The relative positions of the subject and the light source will determine whether the shape overlaps the subject in the

• Shooting conditions may cause unexpected results in terms of image brightness and how well the shape is maintained in the image.

You can shoot images with the optimal settings for postcards by composing them inside the print area (width-to-height ratio of approximately 3:2) shown in the LCD monitor.

The following movie modes are available. For information on the recording pixets and frame rate in each

mode, refer to Changing Recording Pixels and Frame Rates (p. 45). If you register the [] function with the _,,_ button, you can start

shooting a movie simply by pressing the _,_, button regardless of the mode dial setting (p. 71).

You can select the recording pixels and frame rate and record until the memory card is full (when a super high-speed memory card is used, such as the recommended SDC-512MSH). The digital zoom can be used while shooting in this mode. (p. 33)

Maximum Size: 4 GB*/movie

Use this mode to record fast moving subjects, such as in sports photography.

Maximum Clip Length: 1 minute

Since there are few recording pixels and also the data size is small, this mode is convenient for sending movies as e-mail attachments or when the memory card capacity is low.

Maximum Clip Length: 3 minutes

You can have only the specified color remain and change all others into black and white, or change a specified color into a different color (pp. 64, 66). As with the Standard mode, you can also select the recording pixels and frame rate and record until the memory card is full (when a super high-speed memory card is used, such as the recommended SDC-512MSH).

Maximum Size: 4 GB*/movie

Select a shooting interval (1 or 2 sec.) to have a single frame shot at that interval. When played back, two hours worth of recorded frames is compressed to 8 minutes (1-sec. interval) or 4 minutes (2-sec. interval). You can record events from a fixed perspective, such as the spectacle of a flower budding over time, or view changing elements in a short period. Sound cannot be recorded in this mode.

Maximum recording session: 2 hours.

• The recording time will vary according to the capacity of the memory card you use (p. 143).

* Recording will stop after one hour of continuous recording even if the

recorded data volume has not reached 4 GB. Depending on the volume and data writing speed of the memory card, recording may stop after one hour of continuous recording even if the recorded data volume has not reached
