10 Useful Information This chapter introduces how to use the AC adapter kit (sold separately), troubleshooting tips, and contains lists of functions and Y P O C items that appear on the screen.
Using Household Power If you use AC Adapter Kit ACK-DC60 (sold separately), you can use the camera without worrying about how much charge is left in the battery. Turn off the camera. Insert the coupler. z Follow Step 2 on p. 16 to open the cover, then insert the coupler as shown until it locks into place with a click. z Follow Step 5 on p. 17 to close the cover. Terminals Y P O C Plug the cord into the coupler. z Open the cover and fully insert the plug into the coupler. Connect the power cord.
Troubleshooting If you think there is a problem with the camera, first check the following. If the items below do not solve your problem, contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk as listed on the included customer support list. Power You pressed the power button, but nothing happened. • • • • Confirm that the battery is the correct type, and is not depleted (p. 15). Confirm that the battery is properly inserted (p. 16). Confirm that the memory card/battery cover is securely closed (p. 17).
Troubleshooting Image is blurred. • • • • • Press the shutter button halfway to focus on the subject, then press fully to shoot (p. 23). Shoot the subject within the focusing distance (p. 194). Set the [AF-assist Beam] to [On] (p. 157). Confirm that functions which you do not intend to use (macro, etc.) are not set. Shoot using the focus lock or AF lock (pp. 93, 96). Even when you press the shutter button halfway, the AF frame does not appear, and the camera does not focus.
Troubleshooting Recording images to the memory card takes a long time, or continuous shooting slows down. • Perform a low-level format of the memory card in the camera (p. 151). Cannot make settings for shooting functions or FUNC. menu. • The items in which settings can be made differ depending on the shooting mode. Refer to “Functions Available in Each Shooting Mode” and “Shooting Menu” (pp. 176 – 191). Cannot operate buttons. • When the mode dial is set to 9, some buttons cannot be used (p. 29).
Troubleshooting Computer Cannot transfer images to a computer. It may be possible to solve the problem when the camera is connected to a computer via cable by reducing the transfer speed. • Press the 1 button to enter Playback mode. Then press and hold the n button and press the o and m buttons together. In the screen that appears, press the qr buttons to choose [B] and press the m button.
