In particular, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away from infants when using the flash. Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. Strap: Putting the strap around a childs neck could result in asphyxiation. Memory card: Dangerous if swallowed. If this occurs, contact a doctor immediately. Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment unless expressly indicated to do so in this guide. To avoid the risk of injury, do not touch the interior of the camera if it has been dropped or otherwise damaged. Stop operating the camera immediately if it emits smoke, a strange smell, or otherwise behaves abnormally. Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean the equipment. Do not allow liquids or foreign objects to enter the camera. The above could result in fire or electrical shock. If liquid or foreign objects come into contact with the camera interior, immediately turn the camera power off and remove the battery. Use only recommended power sources. Using other power sources could result in fire or electrical shock.
Battery and Battery Charger
Use only recommended batteries. Do not place the battery near or in direct flame. Do not let the battery come into contact with water (e.g. sea water) or other liquids. Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the battery. Avoid dropping or subjecting the battery to severe impacts. The above may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the surroundings. In the event that a battery leaks and the eyes, mouth, skin or clothing contacts these substances, immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance. If the battery charger becomes wet, unplug it from the outlet and consult your camera distributor or the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk. Use only the specified battery charger to charge the battery. Unplug the power cord periodically and wipe away any dust and dirt that has collected on the plug, the exterior of the power outlet, and the surrounding area. Do not handle the power cord with wet hands. Do not use the equipment in a manner that exceeds the rated capacity of the electrical outlet or wiring accessories. Do not use if the power cord or plug are damaged, or not fully plugged into the outlet. Do not allow dirt or metal objects (such as pins or keys) to contact the charger terminals or plug.

Detailed Information Display
Focus Check Display (p. 95)
Screen Display in Dark Shooting Conditions
The display automatically brightens when shooting in dark conditions, allowing you to check the composition (Night Display function). However, the brightness of the image on the screen, and the brightness of the actual image recorded may be different. Screen noise may appear and the movement of the subject may appear somewhat jagged on the screen. This has no effect on the recorded image.
Overexposure Warning during Playback
In Detailed Information Display, overexposed areas of the image flash on the screen.
Power Saving Function (Auto Power Down)
Histogram during Playback

Low Dark Bright

The graph that appears in Detailed Information Display (p. 44) is called the histogram. The histogram shows the distribution of brightness in an image horizontally, and the amount of brightness vertically. When the graph approaches the right side, the image is bright, but when it approaches the left side, the image is dark, and in this way you can judge the exposure.
To save battery power, the camera shuts down automatically when it is not operated for a certain time.
Power Saving during Shooting
The screen will turn off approximately 1 minute after the camera is last operated. After about 2 more minutes, the lens will retract and the power will turn off. When the screen has turned off but the lens has not yet retracted, pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 23) turns on the screen and shooting can continue.
Power Saving during Playback
The power will turn off approximately 5 minutes after the camera is last operated.
You can turn off the Power Saving Function (p. 119). You can adjust the time before the screen turns off (p. 120).
