Read This First

WARNINGS

zDo not aim the camera directly into the sun or at other intense light sources which could damage

your eyesight.

zDo not trigger the flash in close proximity to human or animal eyes. Exposure to the intense light

produced by the flash may damage eyesight. In particular, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away

from infants when using the flash.

zStore this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. Accidental damage to the camera or

batteries by a child could result in serious injury. In addition, placement of the strap around a child's neck

could result in asphyxiation.

zDo not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is not expressly described

in this guide. Disassembly or alteration may result in high-voltage electrical shock. Internal inspections,

alterations and repairs should be conducted by qualified service personnel authorized by your camera

Preventing Malfunctions

Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields

Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other equipment generating strong

electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.

Avoid Condensation Related Problems

Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water

droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces. You can avoid this by placing the equipment in an

airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from

the bag.

If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera

Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation.

Continued use may damage the equipment. Remove the CF card and battery or power cord (if connected)

from the camera and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.

Extended Storage

When not using the camera for extended periods of time, remove the batteries from the camera or battery

charger and store the equipment in a safe place. Storing the camera for extended periods with batteries

installed may cause battery leaks, which can damage the camera.

However, the date, time and other camera settings may reset to default settings if the batteries have been

removed for more than three weeks.

To connect the camera to a computer or printer, use one of the following cables.

Preparing the Camera

Installing the Batteries

The camera uses four AA-size alkaline

batteries supplied with the camera. You may

also use separately sold nickel metal hydride

(NiMH) batteries.

Be sure that the camera power

is off.

Slide the battery

cover lock in the

direction of the

arrow, and open

the cover.

Insert the batteries

as shown.

Close the battery cover.

When the indicator next to the viewfinder

blinks green, do not turn off the power or

open the battery cover. The camera is

writing, reading, erasing or transmitting an

image to or from the CF card.

zWe recommend the use of the

separately sold AC Adapter Kit ACK600

to power the camera during long usage

sessions (p. 130).

The separately sold battery charger kit

lets you use rechargeable NiMH batteries

to power the camera (p. 128

)

Preparing the Camera

zFor important information, see Battery

Performance (p. 140).

zFor information about the Battery and

Charger Kit and AA-size rechargeable

NiMH batteries, see the System Map

(separate from this guide).

Proper Battery Handling

zUse AA-size alkaline or Canon AA-size NiMH

batteries (sold separately) only. For information

on AA-size NiMH battery handling, see Using

Rechargeable Batteries (p. 128).

zSince the performance of alkaline batteries

may differ according to brand, the operating

time of the batteries you purchase may not be

as long as the batteries that came with the

camera.

zCamera operating time may shorten at low

temperatures when alkaline batteries are used.

Also due to their specifications, alkaline batteries

may expire faster than NiMH batteries. If you are

using the camera in cold areas or for a long time,

we recommend using Canon AA-size NiMH

Battery Kit NB4-200 (a four piece set).

While it is possible to use AA-size nickel-cadmium

batteries, performance is unreliable and their use

is not recommended.

zNever mix unused and partially used

batteries. Always load four fresh (or fully

recharged) batteries at the same time.

Be careful to load the batteries with their

positive (+) and negative (-) ends in the right

direction.

Never mix batteries of different types or from

different manufacturers. All four batteries

should be identical.

zBefore inserting the batteries, wipe the battery

terminals well with a dry cloth. Oil from one’s skin

or other dirt may cause a considerable reduction

in the number of recordable images or reduced

usage time.

zBattery performance deteriorates at low

temperatures (especially with alkaline batteries).

If you are using the camera in cold areas and

batteries are running down faster than they

should, you may be able to restore performance

by placing batteries in an inner pocket to warm

them up prior to use. But be careful that you don’t

put the batteries into a pocket together with a

metal key chain or other metallic objects, as

these objects may cause batteries to short-

circuit.

Preparing the Camera

zIf you do not plan to use the camera for a long

time, remove the batteries from the camera and

store them in a safe place. Batteries may leak

and damage the camera if left installed during

prolonged periods of non-use. However, the

date, time and other camera settings may reset

to default settings if the batteries have been

removed for more than three weeks.

WARNING

Never use damaged batteries or batteries

whose outer seal is completely or partially

missing or peeled off, as there is risk that

such batteries may leak, overheat, or burst.

Always check the seals on store-bought

batteries before loading them, as some

batteries may come with defective seals. Do

not use batteries with defective seals.

Never use batteries that look like this.

Batteries with all or part of the

seal (electrical insulation sheath)

peeled off.

The positive electrode (plus

terminal) is flat.

The negative terminal is correctly

formed (protruding from the metal

base), but the seal does not extend

up over the edge of the metal base.

Battery Status Indications

The LCD monitor displays an icon or message to

let you know when batteries are low or depleted.

Batteries are beginning to run low.

Replace (or recharge) batteries

promptly. Replace or recharge the

batteries if you wish to continue

using the camera. If the LCD

monitor is off, this icon will appear

when you press any of the following

buttons: DISP., or / MF.

About CF Cards

z CF cards are high-precision electronic devices.

Do not bend them, apply force to them, or

subject them to shocks or vibration.

z Do not attempt to disassemble or alter a CF card.

z Moving a CF card rapidly between temperature

extremes will cause condensation to form in the

card and lead to a malfunction. To avoid

condensation, place the CF 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 CF card, store it at room temperature until

the water droplets have evaporated naturally.

z Place the CF card in the supplied case for

storage.

z Do not use or store CF cards in the following

types of location.

• Locations subject to dust or sand

• Locations subject to high humidity and high

temperatures

Formatting a CF Card

You should always format a new CF card or one

from which you wish to erase all images and

other data.

Please note that formatting a CF card

erases all data, including protected images

and other file types. Please check the

contents of the CF card before formatting it.

Press the MENU button.

z If the camera does not work properly,

the inserted CF card may be

malfunctioning. Reformatting the CF

card may solve the problem.

z When a non-Canon brand CF card is

malfunctioning, reformatting it may solve

the problem.

z CF cards formatted in another camera,

computer or peripheral device may not

operate correctly. When that happens,

reformat the CF card with this camera.

Charging the date/time battery

z The camera has a built-in rechargeable

lithium ion battery for saving settings

such as the date and time. This battery

is recharged by the AA-size batteries

while it is in the camera. Right after

purchasing the camera, leave fully

charged batteries in the camera, or plug

in the AC Adapter Kit ACK600 (sold

separately), for about 4 hours to charge

the date/time battery. It will charge even

when the camera power is turned off.

z If the Date/Time menu appears when

the camera power is turned on, the date/

time battery charge is low. Use the

above method to recharge it.
