Read This First Please Read Test Shots Before you try to photograph important subjects, we highly recommend that you shoot several trial images to confirm that the camera is operating and being operated correctly. Please note that Canon Inc.
Camera Body Temperature If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become warm. Please be aware of this and take care when operating the camera for an extended period. About the LCD Monitor The LCD monitor is produced with extremely highprecision manufacturing techniques. More than 99.99% of the pixels operate to specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as red or black dots.
Warnings zDo not aim the camera directly into the sun or at other intense light sources which could damage your eyesight. zDo 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. zStore this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. Accidental damage to the camera or batteries by a child could result in serious injury.
zRemove 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. In dusty, humid or greasy environments, the dust that collects around the plug over long periods of time may become saturated with humidity and short-circuit, leading to fire. zDo not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power cord.
zExercise due caution when screwing on the separately sold wide converter, tele-converter and conversion lens adapter. If they loosen, fall off and shatter, the glass shards may cause an injury. CAUTIONS zAvoid 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. Exposure to intense sunlight and heat may cause the batteries to leak, overheat or explode, resulting in fire, burns or other injuries.
Preventing Malfunctions Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data. Avoid Condensation Related Problems Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces.

Installing the Batteries/CF Card Install the batteries and the CF card to get ready for shooting. Please use four AA-size alkaline batteries or separately sold nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. When the indicator blinks, the camera is writing, reading, erasing or transmitting an image to or from the card. Do not perform the following or image data may be lost or corrupted: zDo not shake the camera. zDo not turn off the power or open the CF card slot cover or the battery cover.
a b Label CF card Eject Button a Slide the CF card slot cover in the direction of the arrow, and open it. b Insert the CF card with the label facing up, then close the CF card slot cover. z Push the card in until the CF card eject button fully extends. To remove the CF card, push the CF card eject button and pull the card out. zSee CF Cards and Estimated Capacities (Recordable Images) (p. 151). zYou are recommended to use CF cards that have been formatted in your camera (p. 18).
z While it is possible to use AA-size nickel-cadmium batteries, performance is unreliable and their use is not recommended. z Never mix unused and partially used batteries. Always load four fresh (or fully recharged) batteries at the same time. 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.
Battery Status Indications The following icons or messages indicate the battery status on the LCD monitor (or viewfinder). Change the batteries Batteries are beginning to run low. Replace or recharge the batteries if you wish to continue using the camera. Batteries are fully depleted and the camera can no longer operate. You should replace the batteries immediately. CF Card Handling Precautions z CF cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend, force, or subject them to shocks or vibration.
Formatting a CF Card You should always format a new CF card or one from which you wish to erase all images and other data. a c b Please note that formatting (initializing) a CF card erases all data, including protected images and other file types. Please check the contents of the CF card before formatting it. If the camera does not work properly, the inserted CF card may be malfunctioning. Reformatting the CF card may solve the problem.

Photo Tips and Information ISO Speed (p. 81) Tip for Using the Self-timer (p. 49) The ISO speed is the numeric representation of the camera's sensitivity to light. The higher the ISO speed, the higher the sensitivity. A high ISO speed allows you to shoot images in dark indoor or outdoor conditions without a flash and also helps prevent blurred images due to camera shake. This is convenient when shooting images in places where flash photography is prohibited.
Managing Image Files (p. 110) About File and Folder Numbers Images are assigned file numbers from 0001 to 9900, and folders are assigned folder numbers from 100 to 998 (Folder numbers cannot contain 99 in the last two digits).
