Charge Indicator

Preparing the Camera

To protect the battery pack and prolong its life, do not charge it for

longer than 24 hours continuously.

• Since this is a lithium ion battery pack, you need not completely

discharge it before recharging. It can be recharged at any point.

However, since the maximum number of charge cycles is

approximately 300 times (battery life), you are recommended to

charge the battery pack after having discharged it completely to

prolong battery life.

• It takes approximately 95 minutes to fully charge the battery pack

from a fully discharged state (based on Canon’s testing standard).

Charging it within a temperature range of 5° to 40 °C (41° to 104 °F)

is recommended.

• Charge times may vary according to the ambient temperature and

the battery pack’s charge state.

•See Battery Capacity (p. 155).

• You may hear a noise during charging. This is not a malfunction.

Handling Precautions

zKeep the battery pack terminals ( ) clean at all times. Dirty

terminals may cause poor contact between the battery pack and camera.

Polish the terminals with a tissue or a dry cloth before charging or using

the battery pack.

zDo not rapidly overturn or wave the battery charger around when it

contains the battery pack. The battery pack could fly out.

zAt low temperatures, battery pack performance may be reduced and the

low battery icon may appear earlier than usual. Under these conditions,

resuscitate the battery pack by warming it in a pocket immediately before

use. However, ensure that there are no metallic items in the pocket that

could cause a short circuit, such as a key holder, etc.

zDo not place anything, such as tablecloths, carpets, bedding or cushions,

on top of the battery charger while it is charging. Heat will build up and

could result in a fire.

zDo not charge batteries other than Battery Pack NB-3L in this charger.

zThe battery pack continues to discharge a minimal portion of its power

while installed in the camera, even with the power off, or in the charger.

This will shorten battery life.

zDo not allow any metal objects

such as key rings to touch the

and terminals (Fig. A), as this

can damage the battery pack. To

carry the battery pack or store it

during periods of disuse, always

replace the terminal cover (Fig. B)

and store it in a cool, dry place.

Recharge it fully before using it

again.

zEven charged battery packs

continue to discharge naturally. You are advised to charge the battery on

the day of use, or one day before, to ensure a full charge.

zSince storing a fully charged battery pack for long periods of time (about 1

year) can shorten its life cycle or affect performance, you are

recommended to use the battery pack in the camera until it is completely

discharged and to store it at normal temperature (23 °C/73 °F) or lower. If

you do not use the battery pack for long periods of time, charge it fully and

discharge it fully in the camera at least once a year before returning it to

storage.

zIf the performance of the battery pack diminishes substantially even when it

is fully charged, its life has been exceeded and it should be replaced.

Handling Precautions for SD Cards

zSD cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend them, apply

force to them, or subject them to shocks or vibration.

zDo not attempt to disassemble or alter the SD card.

zDo 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.

zDo not peel away the original label on the SD card or cover it with another

label or sticker.

zWhen 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.

zSince 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.

zMoving 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.

zIf condensation forms on the SD card, store it at room temperature until the

water droplets have evaporated naturally.

zDo not use or store SD cards in the following locations.

AF-assist Beam

• The AF-assist Beam will sometimes emit when the shutter button is

pressed halfway to assist focusing in certain conditions, i.e., dark

conditions.

• The AF-assist Beam can be turned off (p. 132).

For example, if animals are your subject, turn off the beam when

shooting in the dark to avoid startling them.

However, please keep in mind the following facts.

- Turning the AF-assist Beam off or shooting in dark places may

make it more difficult for the camera to focus.

- The red-eye reduction lamp may emit when the flash is set to

or even if the AF-assist Beam is turned off.

Quick Shot

By pressing the shutter button fully without stopping mid-way, you can

shoot certain pictures you might have missed otherwise.

• Confirm that appears on the LCD monitor before using the Quick

Shot function (p. 132).

• Hold the camera firmly with both hands since camera shake may

become a factor.

• It may be impossible to focus on subjects that are closer than

approximately 1.5 meters (4.9 ft.). If this happens, press the shutter

button halfway to focus and shoot the image.

About the Autofocus Function

This camera employs AiAF (artificial intelligence autofocus) technology

which uses a broad metering field to calculate the focal distance with

high precision. It delivers a crisp focus even when the photographic

subject is slightly off-center.

The AiAF function can be turned off so that the autofocus is metered from

a fixed AF frame at the center of the field (p. 73).

The flash fires automatically as required by the lighting

level, and the red-eye reduction lamp fires each time

the main flash fires.

Flash On The flash fires with every shot.

Flash Off The flash will not fire.

Slow

Synchro

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.

See Selecting a Shooting Mode (p. 53).

Press the button to switch

between flash modes.

The selected flash mode appears on the LCD

monitor.

• 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.

• Since a slow shutter speed is selected in dark places when the flash

is set to Off or Slow Synchro, take care to avoid blurring the image.

- Shooting in Mode

Be careful to hold the camera still to avoid camera shake.

- Shooting in , , or Mode

Fix the camera to a tripod to shoot in these modes since the

shutter speed will be slower than in the mode. If an image is

dark in mode, reshooting it in mode will make it brighter.

• The flash can be fired when the indicator lights a steady orange after

pressing the shutter button halfway.

• 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. Shots cannot be taken while the flash

is charging.

• 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.

• When using the flash for standard photography, be sure to shoot

from a distance of at least 30 cm (12 in.) away from your subject.

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 red-

eye reduction lamp fires in order to improve the effect. If you want a

more immediate shutter response, set the flash to , or .

Shooting

Shooting Close-Ups

You can shoot with the lens very close to the subject (Macro function). Subjects can

be focused in the range of 3 to 10 cm (1.2 to 3.9 in.) from the front of the lens.

Shooting Panoramic Images (Stitch Assist)

Stitch Assist can be used to shoot overlapping images that can later be

merged (stitched) to create one panoramic image on a computer.

To merge the images on a computer, use PhotoStitch, one of the

supplied programs.

Framing a Subject

The PhotoStitch program detects the overlapping portions of adjoining

images and merges them. When shooting, try to include a distinctive item

(landmark) in the overlapping portions.

• Compose each frame so that it overlaps 30 - 50% of the adjoining image. Try

to keep the vertical misalignment to less than 10% of the image height.

• Do not include moving items in the overlap.

• Do not try to stitch images that include both distant and close items.

These items may appear warped or doubled up in the merged image.

• Make the brightness in each image consistent. The final image will appear

unnatural if the contrast in brightness is too great.

• To shoot landscapes, swivel (pan) the camera around its own vertical axis.

The overlapping seams of

several adjacent images

can be joined into a single

panoramic image.

Shooting

• To shoot close-ups, slide the camera over the subject, keeping it parallel to

the subject as you move it.

The nature of CCD image sensors is such that noise in the recorded

image increases at long shutter speeds. This camera, however, applies

special processing to images shot at shutter speeds slower than 1.3

seconds to eliminate the noise, thereby producing high-quality images.

Nevertheless, a certain amount of processing time may be required

before the next image can be shot.

• Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at low shutter

speeds. If the camera shake warning appears on the LCD

monitor, secure the camera to a tripod before shooting.

• Use of the flash may result in an over-exposed image. If that occurs,

shoot with the flash set to .

speed allows you to shoot images in dark indoor or outdoor conditions

without a flash and also helps prevent blurred images due to camera

shake. This is convenient when shooting images in places where flash

photography is prohibited. The ISO speed setting makes full use of the

available light, resulting in images that convey the feel of the place they

were shot.

contain 99 in the last two digits).

Folder File Capacity

Each folder usually contains up to 100 images.

However, since images shot in continuous shooting and stitch assist

are always saved into the same folder, a folder may contain more than

100 images. The number of images may also exceed 100 if a folder

contains images copied from a computer or images shot with other

cameras. Please note, however, that the images in folders containing

2001 or more images cannot be played back in this camera.
