Recommendations
The Canon WiFi Camera only works with Windows XP SP2 at the moment. Inmarsat recommends a standard IP data connection to send images. Use TCP/PEP for faster uploads, in particular when sending small individual files.

Setting up the Camera

You can only connect the Canon Digital IXUS camera through wireless connections to HPcompatible printers or computers. So you also must have a computer connected to the BGAN terminal. The camera transfers the images to your computer, then a third-party application automatically uploads the images over BGAN. There are a number of applications that you can buy that will automatically sync files. Inmarsat has found two freeware/shareware applications: Goodsync, available from: http://www.goodsync.com/ Netdrive, available from: http://www.acs.uwosh.edu/novell/netdrive.htm Currently, Goodsync does not support FTP natively. However, you can use third-party software adapters that transform Internet folders into local drives on your computer. Inmarsat recommends using the free utility available from Novell, Inc called NetDrive. To set up this software for use with the camera: a. Download both these pieces of software, and install them. b. Configure Netdrive as follows: Launch Netdrive and click on New Site. Enter the information for your FTP Server, and select a free Drive letter. Netdrive will create a virtual drive on your computer which is your FTP server. Configure the camera as described below. A description of how to configure Goodsync is given later.
Configuring the Camera The first time you use the camera to upload data over BGAN, you must configure the camera. To do this: a. Connect the camera to your computer using the USB cable. b. Turn on the camera in Playback mode. c. Once the camera is turned on, press the Menu button on the back of the camera. This opens the display menu.

e. In the Wireless menu, click Reg. Target Device This launches the wireless setup program on your computer. f. Follow the on-screen instructions for setting up your connection. Name your connection and enter the SSID of your BGAN device. Remember also to select an Infrastructure connection and not an Adhoc connection. Also choose a suitable location where the files will be stored on your computer. g. Once this is done the cameras LCD display returns to the wireless menu. Select the Auto transfer option, and switch on the camera. The Auto transfer option is only available when you have successfully connected to your chosen SSID. Now, when you take a picture, it is instantly transferred to your computer. Note Each time you want to use the camera in wireless mode you will need to return to the Wireless menu and connect the camera to the SSID.

Avoid dropping or subjecting the batteries to severe impacts that could damage the casings. It could lead to leakage and injury. Do not short-circuit the battery terminals with metallic objects, such as key holders. It could lead to overheating, burns and other injuries. Use the supplied terminal cover or battery case to transport or store the battery pack. Before you discard a battery, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators to prevent direct contact with other objects. Contact with the metallic components of other materials in waste containers may lead to fire or explosions. Discard the batteries in specialized waste facilities if available in your area. Use of batteries not expressly recommended for this equipment may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the surroundings. Use only recommended batteries and accessories. Use the specified battery charger to charge Battery Pack NB-1LH or NB-1L. Use of other chargers may lead to overheating, distortion of the equipment, fire or electrical shock. Disconnect the battery charger and compact power adapter from both the camera and the electrical outlet after recharging and when they are not in use to avoid fire and other hazards. Continuous use over a long period may cause a unit to overheat and distort, resulting in fire. The camera terminal of the supplied compact power cord is designed for exclusive use with your camera. Do not use it with other products or batteries. There is a risk of fire and other hazards.

Cautions

Avoid 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. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing. Ensure that there is good ventilation when using the compact power adapter to charge the battery pack or power the camera. Do not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas. Storage in such areas could lead to fire, electrical shock or other damage. Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong impacts or shocks that could lead to injury or damage the equipment when wearing or holding it by the strap.
Be careful not to cover the flash with your fingers when shooting. In addition, do not touch the surface of the flash after taking several pictures in rapid succession. Either action could result in burns. If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become warm. Please take care when operating the camera for extended periods as your hands may experience a burning sensation.

Using the Flash

Auto Red-Eye Reduction Auto On Off The flash fires automatically as required by the light level. The red-eye reduction lamp fires with each shot, automatically adjusting the intensity to suit lighting levels. A flash fires with every shot. A flash will not fire. The flash timing is adjusted to slow shutter speeds. This reduces the chance that the background will be dark when shots are taken at night or in rooms with artificial lighting. The red-eye reduction lamp fires with each shot. Use of a tripod is recommended.

Slow-Synchro

Setting available Can be selected for the first image only.
Press the button to cycle through the flash settings.
When you use flash photography at higher ISO speeds, the chances of white streaks appearing in the image increase the closer you approach to the subject. A slow shutter speed is selected in dark surroundings when the flash is set to Off or Slow-Synchro. Be careful to avoid camera blur under these conditions. Mode - Shooting in Be careful to hold the camera still to avoid camera blur. or Mode - Shooting in , Fix the camera to a tripod to shoot in these modes since mode. If the shutter speed will be slower than in the mode, reshooting it in mode an image is dark in will make it brighter. The flash can be fired when the upper indicator shines a steady orange. The flash may take up to approximately 10 seconds to charge. The recharging time will vary with such factors as the shooting conditions and battery charge. The flash fires twice. The main flash follows a preparatory pre-flash. The exposure reading obtained from the subject with the pre-flash is used to set the optimal flash intensity for the main flash, which is used to capture the image. 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 shooting with the lens set to a wide angle, increasing the lighting in indoor settings or approaching closer to the subject. The shutter will not activate for approximately 1 second after the red-eye reduction lamp fires in order to improve the effect. If you wish a more immediate shutter response, set the or. flash to ,

Shooting Close-Ups/Infinity Shots
Macro Use this mode to record subjects in the range of 10 to 57 cm (3.9 in. to 1.9 ft.) from the lens tip when at maximum wide angle and in the range of 27 to 57 cm (10.6 in. to 1.9 ft.) when at the maximum telephoto setting. Use this mode to record landscapes and distant objects. It can also be used for compositions combining both near and distant objects.

The digital zoom cannot be used in some modes (p. 75). Images become coarser the more they are digitally zoomed.

Shooting Continuously

In this mode, the camera shoots continuously at approximately 2.5 images per second* (Large / Fine, LCD monitor off) while the shutter button is held down. Recording ceases when the shutter button is released.
* This figure reflects standard shooting criteria established by Canon. Actual figures may vary according to the subject and shooting conditions.
The interval between shots may lengthen slightly when the cameras built-in memory fills. If the flash is firing, the interval between shots will lengthen to accommodate the flashs charging requirements.

Using the Self-timer

Changing the Self-timer Countdown Time
Use the or button to select [2 sec.] or [10 sec.] When [ (10 sec.)] is selected, the selftimer sounds and the flashing gets faster 2 seconds before the shutter activates. When [ (2 sec.)] is selected, the selftimer sounds at the same time as the shutter button is pressed. The shutter activates in 2 seconds. The display will return to the Rec. menu.

Changing the Photo Effect
You can shoot with different photo effects.
Photo Effect Off Records with no effect. Vivid Neutral Emphasizes the contrast and color saturation to record bold colors. Tones down the contrast and color saturation to record neutral hues. Records in sepia tones. Records in black and white.
Low Sharpening Records subjects with softened outlines. Sepia B/W
Press the button repeatedly until the Photo Effect Setup menu displays. Use the or button to select [Photo Effect]. You can confirm the photo effect in the LCD monitor when the LCD monitor is on. A shot can be taken immediately after. The menu will reappear after the shot, allowing you to further adjust the setting.

Adjusting the ISO Speed

Use the setting.

button to select a
When AUTO is selected, the camera automatically adjusts the ISO speed to a range of 50 to 150. Higher ISO speeds increase image noise. To take clean images, use as low an ISO speed as possible.
Setting the Auto Rotate Function
The camera is equipped with an Intelligent Orientation sensor that detects the orientation of an image shot with the camera on end and automatically rotates it to the correct viewing orientation in the display. You can set this function on / off. See Selecting Menus and Settings (p. 37).
The display will return to the Rec. menu. When the Auto Rotate function is set to On and the LCD monitor is set to the icon detailed display mode, the icon (right end is down) or (normal), icon (left end is down) will appear in the upper right of the display.
When the camera is held on end to shoot, the Intelligent Orientation sensor judges the upper end to be up and the lower end to be down. It then only uses the upper two of the three AF frames (when the AiAF function is On) to raise the accuracy of the focus, exposure and white balance metering. The bottom AF frame disappears. This function operates regardless of the On/Off status of the Auto Rotate function. This function may not operate correctly when the camera is pointed straight up or down. Check that the arrow is pointing in the right direction and if it is not, then set the Auto Rotate function to [Off]. Even if the Auto Rotate function is set to on, the orientation of images downloaded to a computer will depend upon the software used to download the images.

Resetting the File Number
You can select the way file numbers are assigned. On Off
The file number is reset to the start (100-0001) each time a new CF card is inserted. New images recorded on CF cards with existing files are assigned the next available number. The file number of the last image to be shot is memorized so that images recorded to a new CF card start from the next number.
Setting the File No. Reset to Off is useful for avoiding file name duplication when images are downloaded to a computer. About File Numbers Images are assigned file numbers from 0001 to 9900 and organized in folders generally containing up to 100 images. Folders are assigned numbers from 100 to 998 (a folder with 99 in the last two digits cannot be created). Since images or mode are always saved in the same shot in the , folder, some folders may contain 101 or more images.
