Problem Battery pack consumed quickly Cause Solution Use only unused AAsize alkaline batteries or Canon AA-size NiMH batteries. (For information about alkaline batteries, see Proper Battery Handling (p. 21)) The batteries are cold. Battery performance deteriorates at low temperatures. If shooting in a cold area, keep the batteries warm (by placing them in an inner pocket, etc.) until ready to use them. Wipe them well with a Battery terminals are dry cloth before use. dirty.
Cause Battery terminals are dirty. Battery life exceeded. Shots are blurry or unfocused. The camera was moving when you took the shot. Autofocus function hampered by obstruction to AFassist beam. The AF-assist beam has been set to [Off] through the menu. Solution • Be sure to set batteries firmly into the charger. • Be sure that the power cord is firmly connected to the charger, and is firmly plugged in to the power outlet. Wipe them well with a dry cloth before charging.
Problem Shots are blurry or unfocused. Cause Solution • Ensure that there is at least 45 cm (1.5 ft.) between the camera lens and subject. • Use the macro mode to shoot close-ups between 5 to 45 cm (2.0 in. to 1.5 ft.) from the lens when set to wide angle and between 25 to 45 cm (10 in. to 1.5 ft.) when set to telephoto.

Cause A purple-red or other color vertical stripe appears on the upper part of the LCD monitor The subject is brighter than the surroundings. Light is shining or reflecting into the camera. The flash mode is set so that the flash always fires. Subject is too bright Solution When flash is used, the distance between lens and subject should be no less than 25 cm (10 in.). Set exposure compensation to a negative value. Adjust the camera angle. Set the flash to any other mode except On.
Problem Cause Solution White dots or white asterisks appear on the image Light from the flash has reflected off dust particles or insects in the air. This occurs more frequently in the following conditions: - When shooting at the wide-angle end. - When shooting with a high aperture value in the aperture-priority AE mode. The flash mode is set to Off. Incorrect video system setting. This is a phenomenon that occurs with digital cameras and does not constitute a malfunction. The flash doesn’t fire.
