were recorded correctly. Please note that Canon Inc., its subsidiaries

and afliates, and its distributors are not liable for any consequential

damages arising from any malfunction of a camera or accessory,

including memory cards, that result in the failure of an image to be

recorded or to be recorded in a way that is machine readable.

●Images recorded by the camera shall be for personal use. Refrain

from unauthorized recording that infringes on copyright law, and note

that even for personal use, photography may contravene copyright

or other legal rights at some performances or exhibitions, or in some

commercial settings.

●The camera warranty is valid only in the area of purchase. In case of

camera problems while abroad, return to the area of purchase before

contacting a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

●Although the LCD monitor is produced under extremely high-precision

manufacturing conditions and more than 99.99% of the pixels meet

design specications, in rare cases some pixels may be defective

or may appear as red or black dots. This does not indicate camera

damage or affect recorded images.

●The LCD monitor may be covered with a thin plastic lm for protection

against scratches during shipment. If covered, remove the lm before

using the camera.

●When the camera is used over an extended period, it may become

warm. This is not a malfunction.

Movies

●The camera may become warm when shooting movies repeatedly

over an extended period. This does not indicate damage.

●Keep your ngers away from the microphone (1) while shooting

movies. Blocking the microphone may prevent audio from being

recorded or may cause the recording to sound mufed.

●Avoid touching camera controls other than the movie button

and touch-screen controls when shooting movies. Sounds

made by the camera will be recorded. Touch-screen control is

recommended when adjusting settings while shooting movies.

●The sounds of the lens and camera operating are also recorded.

This can be reduced by using an external microphone (sold

separately) (=

157).

●If using a lens that supports Dynamic IS (=

78), the image

display area changes and subjects are enlarged once movie

recording begins to allow correction of signicant camera shake.

To shoot subjects at the same size shown before shooting, adjust

the image stabilization setting (=

78).

Still Images

●An orange AF frame is displayed with [ ] if the camera cannot

focus when you press the shutter button halfway. No picture is

taken, even if you press the shutter button all the way down.

●When no people or subjects are detected, when the subject

is dark or has no contrast, or in extremely bright conditions, it

may take longer to achieve focus, or correct focus may not be

achieved.

●A blinking [ ] icon warns that images are more likely to be

blurred by camera shake. In this case, mount the camera on a

tripod or take other measures to keep it still.

●If your shots are dark despite the ash ring, move closer to the

subject. For details on the ash range, see “Internal Flash Range

Guide” (=

196).

●To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may be lit

when the shutter button is pressed halfway in low-light conditions.

●If the ash res, vignetting may occur depending on the lens

being used.

●A blinking [ ] icon displayed when you attempt to shoot

indicates that shooting is not possible until the ash has nished

recharging. Shooting can resume as soon as the ash is ready,

so either press the shutter button all the way down and wait, or

release it and press it again.

●Although you can shoot again before the shooting screen

is displayed, your previous shot may determine the focus,

brightness, and colors used.

●The display shown right after shooting and before the saved

image is shown will feature vignetting.

●You can change how long images are displayed after shots
