Preliminary Notes and Legal
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 result in the failure of an image to be recorded or to be recorded in a way that is machine readable.
●● The user’s unauthorized photographing or recording (video and/or sound) of people or copyrighted materials may invade the privacy of such people and/or may violate others’ legal rights, including copyright and other intellectual property rights. Note that restrictions may apply even when such photographing or recording is intended solely for personal use.
●● For information on camera warranty or Customer Support, please refer to the warranty information provided with your camera User Manual Kit.
●● Although the screen 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.
●● When the camera is used over an extended period, it may become warm. This does not indicate damage.

A blinking |
] icon warns that images are more likely to be |
|
|
|
blurred by camera shake. In this case, mount the camera on a |
|
|
|
|
tripod or take other measures to keep it still. |

●● |
If your shots are dark despite the flash firing, move closer to the |
subject.
●● The subject may be too close if the camera only beeps once when you press the shutter button halfway.
●● To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may be lit when shooting in low-light conditions.
●● A blinking [ ] 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.
●● Although you can shoot again before the shooting screen is displayed, your previous shot may determine the focus, brightness, and colors used.
●● You can change how long images are displayed after shots (=38).

other than the movie button when |

made by the camera will be |
recorded.
●● Once movie recording begins, the image display area changes and subjects are enlarged to allow for correction of significant camera shake. To shoot subjects at the same size shown before shooting, follow the steps in “Recording Movies with Subjects at the Same Size Shown before Shooting” (= 37).
●● Individual movies that exceed 4 GB may be divided into multiple files. Automatic playback of divided movie files one after another is not supported. Play each movie separately.
●● The camera may use a slower shutter speed under low-light conditions. Slower shutter speeds reduce image noise (Auto slow shutter).
If you prefer smoother movies that are less affected by subject shake, set [Auto slow shutter] to [Disable] mode, but note that they may be darker (=48).
●● Audio is recorded in stereo.

Image Stabilization Icons
Still Images |
Movies |
Optimal image stabilization for the shooting conditions (Intelligent IS) is automatically applied, and the following icons are displayed.
Image stabilization for still images (Normal)
Image stabilization for still images when panning (Panning)*
Image stabilization for angular camera shake and shift-shake in macro shots (Hybrid IS). For movies, [] is displayed and [] image stabilization is also applied.
Image stabilization for movies, reducing strong camera shake, as when recording while walking (Dynamic)
Image stabilization for slow camera shake, such as when recording movies at telephoto (Powered)
No image stabilization, because the camera is mounted on a tripod or held still by other means. However, during movie recording, [] is displayed, and image stabilization to
counteract wind or other sources of vibration is used (Tripod IS).
*Displayed when you pan, following moving subjects with the camera. When you follow subjects moving horizontally, image stabilization only counteracts vertical camera shake, and horizontal stabilization stops. Similarly, when you follow subjects moving vertically, image stabilization only counteracts horizontal camera shake.
●● To cancel image stabilization, set [IS mode] to [Off] (=36). In this case, an IS icon is not displayed.
●● [] is not available in mode.

●Hold the lever until zooming stops.
●Zooming stops at the largest zoom factor before the image becomes noticeably grainy, which is then indicated on the screen.
2 Move the zoom lever again.
●●The camera zooms in even closer on the subject.
●●(1) is the current zoom factor.
●● Moving the zoom lever will display the zoom bar (which indicates the zoom position). The zoom bar is color-coded to indicate the zoom range.
-- White range: optical zoom range where the image will not appear grainy.
-- Yellow range: digital zoom range where the image is not noticeably grainy (ZoomPlus).
-- Blue range: digital zoom range where the image will appear grainy.
●● Because the blue range will not be available at some recording pixel settings (=35), the maximum zoom factor can be achieved by following step 1.
