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, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and its distributors are not liable for any consequential damages arising from any malfunction of a camera or accessory, including SD memory cards, that results in the failure of an image to be recorded or to be recorded in a format that is machine readable.
Warning Against Copyright Infringement
Please note that Canon digital cameras are intended for personal use and should never be used in a manner that infringes upon or contravenes international or domestic copyright laws and regulations. Please be advised that in certain cases the copying of images from performances, exhibitions, or commercial properties by means of a camera or other device may contravene copyright or other legal rights even if the image was shot for personal use.

Warranty Limitations

This cameras warranty is only effective in the country of sale. If a problem arises while the camera is in use abroad, please convey it back to the country of sale before proceeding with a warranty claim to a Canon Customer Support Help Desk. For Canon Customer Support contacts, please see the Canon Limited Warranty supplied with your camera.

Safety Precautions

Before using the camera, please ensure that you read and understand the safety precautions described below. Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly. The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to instruct you in the safe and correct operation of the camera and its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to yourself, other persons and equipment. In the next few pages, the term equipment refers primarily to the camera and its power supply accessories, such as the battery charger and separately sold compact power adapter. See the System Map for power supply accessory details.

To Remove the SD card Push the SD card with your finger or the toggle on the wrist strap until it clicks and then release it.
Please watch the loading slot area carefully as you insert and remove the SD card. Since the camera is writing, reading, erasing or transmitting data to or from the SD card when the indicator blinks green, never perform the following actions during this time. It could corrupt the image data. - Subject the camera body to vibration or shocks. - Turn the cameras power off, or open the SD card slot/battery cover. Please note that SD cards formatted with other manufacturers cameras or a computer, or formatted or edited with application programs, may slow down writing to the SD card or may not operate correctly in the camera. You are recommended to use SD cards that have been formatted in your camera (p. 28). The card supplied with the camera may be used without further formatting. See SD Cards and Estimated Capacities (p. 160).

Formatting SD Cards

You should always format a new SD card or one from which you wish to erase all images and other data.
Please note that formatting (initializing) an SD card erases all data, including protected images and other file types.
Press the ON/OFF button until the power lamp lights green.

Press the MENU button.

The (Rec.) or displayed. (Play) menu is
Use the button to select the (Set up) menu.
Use the or button to select [Format] and press the FUNC./SET button.
Use the button to select [OK] and press the FUNC./SET button.
To exit instead of formatting, select [Cancel]. The capacity of the SD card displayed after formatting will be less than the rated capacity of the SD card. This is not a malfunction of the SD card or camera.
When the camera is malfunctioning, a corrupted SD card might be the cause. Reformatting the SD card may solve the problem. When a non-Canon brand SD card is malfunctioning, reformatting it may solve the problem. SD cards formatted in other cameras, computers, or peripheral devices may not operate correctly in this camera. When that happens, reformat the SD card with this camera. If formatting in the camera does not work properly, turn the camera off and re-insert the SD card. Then turn the camera back on and format again.
SD Card Handling Precautions
SD cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend them, apply force to them, or subject them to shocks or vibration. Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the SD card. Do not allow dirt, water or foreign objects to contact the terminals on the back of the card. Do not touch the terminals with your hands or metal objects. Do not peel away the original label on the SD card or cover it with another label or sticker. When writing on the SD card, use a soft point pen (e.g. felt-tip pen). Using a sharp point pen (e.g. ball-point pen) or pencil may damage the SD card or corrupt the recorded data. Since some or all of the data recorded on the SD card may be corrupted or erased by electrical noise, static electricity or card malfunction, making a backup copy of important data is recommended. Moving an SD card rapidly between temperature extremes will cause condensation to form in the card and lead to a malfunction. To avoid condensation, place the SD card in a sealed plastic bag before moving it into a different temperature zone and allow it to adjust slowly to the new temperature. If condensation forms on the SD card, store it at room temperature until the water droplets have evaporated naturally. Do not use or store SD cards in the following locations.

Red-Eye Reduction

Light reflecting back from eyes can make them appear red when the flash is used in dark areas. Under these conditions, use the red-eye reduction mode. For this mode to be effective, the subject must be looking right at the red-eye reduction lamp. Try asking them to look directly at the lamp. Even better results can be obtained by increasing the lighting in indoor settings or approaching closer to the subject. The shutter will not activate for approximately 1 second after the redeye reduction lamp fires in order to improve the effect (except when shooting in the mode). If you want a more immediate shutter response, set the flash to , or.
Selecting a Shooting Mode
You can take an optimal picture simply by selecting the appropriate shooting mode.
Auto Manual Leaves almost all of the settings choices up to the camera (p. 59). Lets you adjust the exposure, white balance, photo effect and other settings yourself. You can approach as close as 3 cm (1.2 in.) (minimum focusing distance) to a subject to shoot (p. 70). Since this mode trims all but the image center and magnifies it with the digital zoom, you can make a subject appear even larger than in the normal macro mode. Produces a soft effect when photographing people.

Digital Macro Portrait
