Handling Cautions
Camera Care and Storage
• The camera is a precision instrument Do not drop it or subject it to physical
shock,
• The camera is not waterproof and should not be used in wet conditions or
underwater. If the camera gets wet, take it to your nearest Canon dealer as soon
as possible. If small amounts of water splash onto the camera, wipe it with a
clean dry cloth. If the camera is exposed to salty air, wipe it thoroughly with a
slightly damp cloth.
• Do not leave the camera in places prone to excessive heat such as in a car on
a sunny day. Excessive heat can cause the camera to malfunction
• The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to
disassemble the camera.
• Use only a blower brush to blow away any dust on the lens, eyepiece, mirror,
focusing screen, film compartment, etc Do not clean the camera body or lens
with any cleaner containing an organic solvent. For stubborn dirt, consult your
nearest Canon Service Centre.
• The shutter curtains are extremely thin Use only a blower to clean them. Be
careful not to blow air too forcefully on the shutter curtains The shutter curtains
can be easily deformed or damaged. Also, when loading and unloading film, be
careful not to touch the shutter curtains.
• Do not touch the electrical contacts with your fingers. Otherwise corrosion may
develop on the contacts, resulting in improper camera operation
• If the camera is not to be used for an extended period, remove the battery Store
the camera in a well-ventilated, cool, dry place During the storage period, press
Ihe shutter button to release the shutter a few times once in a while.
• Avoid storing Ihe camera in a labouratory, cabinet, etc , where corrosive
chemicals are present
• If the camera has not been used for a prolonged period or if you will use the
camera for an important event, check the operation of all the camera controls or
take the camera to your nearest Canon Sen/ice Centre.
LCD Displays
By their nature, LCD displays react more slowly at low temperatures, and may
appear dark at high temperatures. The display will return to normal at room
temperature.
Page 7
Batteries
• Before installing the batteries, wipe the battery contacts to remove any
fingerprints and smudges This is to prevent faulty connections and corrosion
• Never disassemble or recharge the batteries Also, never store a battery in hightemperature places or short circuit the battery contacts or toss a battery into a
fire.
• Although the batteries work well even at low temperatures, battery performance
may decline slightly at freezing temperatures. In such a case, keep spare
batteries warm in a pocket, etc , and use and warm the batteries alternately
How Low Battery Levels Affect Camera Operation
On the LCD panel, if the <G> icon blinks or it is not displayed, a proper exposure
can still be obtained as long as the shutter releases However, when the battery
level is low, film advance and auto rewind might stop midway or not work at all
and <G> icon may blink on the LCD panel. After the batteries are replaced with
new ones, film advance will be possible and film rewind can resume by pressing
the <Qdl> button.
Lens Electrical Contacts
After detaching the lens from the camera, pul on
the lens caps or put down the lens with the rear end
up to avoid scratching the lens surface and
electrical contacts.
Safety Precautions
. Do not look directly at the sun or any other strong light source through this lens
or through a camera with the lens attached as this could cause damaged
eyesight. Take particular care r>ot to look directly at the sun through the lens
alone as this can cause blindness.
Do not leave the lens or an SLR camera with the lens mounted in direct sunlight
with the lens cap removed This is to prevent the lens from magnifying the sun's
rays, which could cause fire.

Selecting the AF mode^
The AF mode is the AF operation method. Three AF modes are provided: ONE
SHOT (One-Shot AF), Al FOCUS (Al Focus AF), and Al SERVO (Al Servo AF),
Select the AF mode.
• Press the <AF> button ((Si6) and turn the
dial.
ONE SHOT (One-Shot AF)
For still subjects. When you press the shutter button halfway, the AF focuses
once.
► When focus is achieved, the AF point achieving focus flashes in red and the focus confirmation
light <#> in the viewfinder lights The exposure is also set.
Al FOCUS (Al Focus AF)
This mode switches the AF mode automatically to One-Shot AF or Al Servo AF
depending on whether the subject is still or moving.
• Ideal for moving subjects whose distance from Ihe camera keeps changing
• The exposure is sel at the moment the picture is taken
Al SERVO (Al Servo AF)
For moving subjects, While you hold down the shutter button, the camera
continues to focus the subject approaching or moving away from the camera.
• Ideal for moving subjects whose distance from the camera keeps changing
• The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken
• The beeper will not sound when focus is achieved

E±!l Selecting the AF point^
The AF point is used for focusing. The AF point can be selected automatically by
the camera or manually by you In the Basic Zone modes and <A*DEP> mode, the
AF point selection is automatic only. In the <P><Tv> < Av> <M> modes, the
AF point can be selected either automatically or manually.
• Automatic AF point Selection
The camera selects the AF point automatically according to situation

When Autofocus Fails (Manual Focusing) h
Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (the focus confirmation light <•> blinks) with
certain subjects such as the following:
Difficult Subjects for Autofocusing
• Low-contrast subjects,
Example: Blue sky, flat surface with a solid colour
■ Subjects in very low light,
• Extremely backlit or reflective subjects.
Example: Automobile with a strong reflection
• Overlapping near and far objects.
Example: Animal behind bars in a cage.
• Subjects having a repetitive pattern
Example: Personal computer keyboard, windows on a building, etc.
In such cases, do one of the following;
(1) Focus lock an object at the same distance as the subject and recompose.
(2) Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually
Manual Focusing
Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF>.
Focus the subject.

Metering Modes
The camera has three metering modes: Evaluative, partial, and centre-weighted
average metering.
Evaluative metering
This is the camera’s standard metering mode suited for most
shooting including backlit conditions Based on the subject’s
position in the viewfinder, brightness, background, front or
back lighting conditions, etc., the camera always calculates the
proper exposure for the subject.
Partial metering
This mode is set automatically when AE lock is used in a
Creative Zone mode It is effective for backlit subjects when
there is a strong light behind the subject. The viev\rfinder centre
covering about 9.5% of the viewfinder area is used for
metering The partial metering area is shown on the left.
Centre-weighted average metering
This is set automatically in the <M> mode The metering is
weighted at the centre and then averaged for the entire scene.

In a Creative Zone Mode
Press the < ^ > button to pop up the built-in flash.
P : Use this mode for automatic flash photography. The flash sync speed
(1/60-1/125 sec.) and aperture value will be set automatically as with the
<0> (Full Auto) mode.
Tv : Use this mode if you want to set the flash sync speed manually (within 30

Av : Use this mode if you want to set the flash aperture value. The camera will
set the flash sync speed (within 30 sec -1/125 sec.) automatically to
obtain the best exposure for the aperture you set For portraits with a
night scene or dark background, a slow sync speed will be set to obtain
a proper exposure for both the subject and background. The flash
illuminates the subject, while the background is properly exposed with a
slow shutter speed.
• Because automatic slow-sync shooting uses a slow shutter speed,
always use a tripod.
• If you do not want long exposures, set C Fn-06. (p 48)
