...
Terminals
Preparing the Camera 19
After charging the battery, remove it from the camera if the camera will not be
used.
If the main dial is set to any position other than while charging, the battery
pack will stop charging and the household electrical current will power the
camera.
This is a lithium ion battery pack so there is no need to completely use or
discharge it before recharging. It can be charged at any charge state.
It takes approximately 80 minutes to bring a fully discharged battery pack to a
charge state of approximately 90% (adequate charge for use). It takes
approximately two more hours to charge it fully (based on standard Canon testing
criteria). Charge it within a temperature range of 5 to 40º C (41 to 104º F).
Charging times will vary according to the surrounding humidity and battery pack
charge state.
Battery Pack Handling Precautions
Keep the battery pack and camera terminals ( ) clean at all times. Dirty
terminals may cause a 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.
Do not cover the compact power adapter with anything, such as a tablecloth,
cushion or blanket, when it is charging. Heat will build up internally and possibly
lead to fire.
Do not charge batteries other than Battery Pack BP-511 with the supplied
equipment. It could damage the camera.
The battery pack continues to discharge a small amount when left in the camera
even with the power turned off. This shortens the battery life. Remove it from
the camera, attach the supplied terminal adapter and store it in a cool, dry place.
Charge it before use.
Even 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.
Storing fully charged battery packs may shorten battery life and diminish
performance.
The camera consumes the battery charge when the power is on even when a
function is not being used. To conserve the battery charge, be particularly
attentive in turning the power off.
Although the battery packs maximum operating range is 0 to 40º C (32 to 104º F),
the optimal range is 10 to 30º C (50 to 86º F). At cold temperatures, such as those
experienced on ski hills, performance will temporarily decline, reducing the usable
time before recharging.
If the usable time of a battery pack diminishes substantially even when fully
charged, it should be replaced.
20 Preparing the Camera
Installing the Battery Pack
Install Battery Pack BP-511 (supplied) into the camera as follows. Use a household
power source to power the camera for extended periods (p. 22).
1
Turn the main dial to .

direction of the arrow and open the
battery cover.
3
Insert the battery pack as shown.
4
Close the battery cover.
Terminals
Charge the battery pack before using it the first time (p. 18).
The flashing green indicator signals that the CF card is being written to, read, or
erased. Never open the battery cover or remove the battery while it is flashing.
Remove the battery pack when the camera is not in use.
Battery Status Symbols
The following icons indicate the battery status. These icons will not appear while
the camera is plugged into a household power source.
(Steady): Sufficient battery charge
(Flashing): Low battery
(Flashing): Replace or recharge battery
Preparing the Camera 21
Battery Performance
The data above will vary according to the shooting conditions and settings.
Movie data is excluded.
At low temperatures, the battery pack performance may diminish and the low battery icon appear very rapidly.
In these circumstances, the performance can be improved by warming the battery pack in a pocket before use.
<Test Conditions>
Shooting: Room temperature (23º C, 73º F), alternating maximum wide angle and maximum telephoto shots at
20-second intervals with flash fired once every four shots and camera power turned off and on every
eighth shot. CF card used.
Replaying: Room temperature (23º C, 73º F), continuous playback at one image per 5 seconds. CF card used.

Preparing the Camera 27
When the cameras indicator flashes green, the camera is writing, reading, erasing
or transmitting an image to or from the card. Do not perform the following, for
image data may be lost or corrupted:
- Do not apply shocks or vibrations to the camera.
- Do not turn off the power or open the battery cover.
- Do not open the CF card slot cover or remove the CF card.
Never open the CF card slot cover when the power is on.
Please note that CF cards formatted in or edited with other manufacturers
cameras or application programs may not operate correctly in the camera.
CF Card Handling Precautions
CF cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend, force, or subject
them to shocks or vibration.
Do not attempt to disassemble or alter a CF card.
Moving a CF card rapidly between temperature extremes may cause condensation
to form in the card, leading to potential malfunctions. To avoid condensation
formation, 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, put it aside until the water droplets have
evaporated completely.
Place the CF card in the supplied case for storage.
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
Microdrives are a recording medium with a hard disk. Their merits are a large
capacity and a low price per megabyte of capacity. However, they are relatively
more susceptible to vibrations and shocks than CF cards, which use durable
flash memories. Please be careful, therefore, not to subject the camera to
vibrations or shocks when using a microdrive, especially while recording or
replaying.
28 Preparing the Camera
Attaching the Strap
Slip the small loop of the strap through
the strap eyelet on the camera and
through the hand loop.
Avoid waving the camera about or catching it on other items when suspending it
from the strap.
Attaching the Lens Cap
Fit the lens cap over the lens casing so
that it covers the entire lens. Always
replace the lens cap after use.
Attach the lens cap cord to the strap or strap eyelet.
Remove the lens cap before turning on the camera power.
Using the Soft Case (Optional)
The soft case can be used to carry the
camera, battery pack, CF card and the
wireless controller.
Optional soft case appearance and
specifications may vary according to region.

The flash will fire twice. A pre-flash will fire just before the shutter closes and will
be followed by the main flash. The pre-flash is used by the camera to obtain the
subjects exposure data so that the main flash can be set to the optimal intensity
for the shot.
About the Red-Eye Reduction Function
A subjects eyes can appear red in an image shot with a flash in dim lighting due
to light reflecting back from the eyes blood vessels, which is known as the red-eye
phenomenon. The red-eye reduction lamp fires a soft pre-flash that causes the
pupils to contract, thereby lessening the chances of the eyes appearing red when
the main flash fires.
- Tell human subjects to look at the lamp since the function will not have any
effect if the subject is not looking at the red-eye reduction lamp.
- The effect is made stronger by increasing the room lighting or by approaching
closer to the subject.
