Handling Precautions

Camera Care and Storage

( 1 ) The camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to

physical shock.

( 2 ) This camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If the

camera gets really wet, promptly consult your nearest Canon Service

Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the camera

has been exposed to salty air, wipe with a well-wrung damp cloth.

( 3 ) Do not leave the camera in places prone to excessive heat such as

in a car on a sunny day. Excessive heat can cause the camera to

malfunction.

( 4 ) The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to

disassemble the camera.

( 5 ) Use only a blower brush to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder

eyepiece, focusing screen, film compartment, and mirror. Do not use

an organic solvent-containing cleaner to clean the camera body or

lens. For stubborn dirt, consult your nearest Canon Service Center.

( 6 ) The shutter curtains are extremely thin. Use only a blower to clean.

Be careful not to blow air too forcefully on the shutter curtains. The

shutter curtains can be easily deformed or damaged. Also, when

loading and unloading film, be careful not to touch the shutter

curtains.

( 7 ) Do not touch the electrical contacts with your fingers. Otherwise

corrosion may develop on the contacts, resulting in improper camera

operation.

( 8 ) If the camera is not to be used for an extended period, remove the

battery. Store the camera in a well-ventilated, cool, dry place. During

the storage period, release the shutter a few times once in a while.

( 9 ) Avoid storing the camera in a laboratory, cabinet, etc., where

corrosive chemicals are present.

(10) If the camera has not been used for an extended period or if the

camera is to be used for an important event, check the operation of

all the camera controls or take it to your nearest Canon Service

Center.

Handling Precautions

(11) After detaching the lens from the camera, put on the lens caps or put

down the lens with the rear end up to avoid scratching the lens

surface and electrical contacts.

(12) Even when the Main switch is set to < >, a small amount of power

is still supplied to the camera’s LCD panel. However, this does not

affect the number of film rolls which can be taken with the battery.

LCD Panel

In time, the camera’s LCD (liquid-crystal display) panel indications may

become light and difficult to read. If this happens, have it replaced (at

cost) by a Canon Service Center.

At low temperatures, the display response of the LCD panel may become

slower. And at 60˚C or higher temperatures, the display may blacken. In

either case, the display will return to normal at room temperature.

Blinking “ ” on the LCD panel

If the battery power falls to a very low level or a camera misoperation or

malfunction occurs, “ ” will blink on the LCD panel. In such a case,

follow the procedure below:

( 1 ) Press the battery check button to check the battery power. If the

battery power is low, replace the battery.

( 2 ) If the battery power is normal, remove the battery and reload it.

( 3 ) Release the shutter once.

If the “ ” then turns off, the camera is back to normal. However, if this

procedure is repeated and “ ” still continues to blink, the camera has a

malfunction. Take it to your nearest Canon Service Center.

Handling Precautions

About the Battery

The camera operates only after the battery is properly installed (see page

21). Check the battery power in the following cases:

(1) After replacing the battery.

(2) After not using the camera for an extended period.

(3) The shutter does not work.

(4) The camera is being used in a low-temperature environment.

(5) Before using the camera for an important event.

•Before installing the battery, wipe the battery contacts to remove any

fingerprints and smudges. This is to prevent faulty connections and

corrosion.

•Never disassemble or recharge the battery. Also, never store a battery

in high-temperature places or short circuit the battery contacts or toss

a battery into a fire.

•Although lithium batteries work well even in low temperatures, battery

performance may suffer slightly in freezing temperatures. In such a

case, keep a spare battery warm in a pocket, etc., and use and warm

the batteries alternately.

Low Battery Power

Even when is not displayed or when it blinks on the LCD panel, a

correctly-exposed picture can still be taken as long as the shutter can be

released. However, when the battery power runs out, there may not be

enough power to advance and rewind the film automatically. “ ” will

then blink on the LCD panel. After the battery is replaced with a new one,

film advance will resume automatically or film rewind will continue when

the midroll film < > is pressed.

If the shutter speed or aperture blinks, it means a standard exposure cannot be obtained.

Although the picture can be taken, it may come out too light or too dark. For details, see

“Exposure Warning List” on page 130.

Shifting the Program

In the Program AE mode <P>, you can freely change the shutter speed

and aperture combination (program) set by the camera while retaining the

same exposure value. This is called shifting the program.

To shift the program, press the shutter button halfway and turn the < >

dial until the desired shutter speed or aperture is displayed.

The program shift setting is canceled after the picture is taken.

About Eye-Control AF

Eye-Control AF enables you to focus at where you look within the area AF

ellipse in the viewfinder. The camera instantly detects where your eye is

looking and activates the corresponding focusing point (among the 45) to

focus.

Eye-Control AF works in both horizontal and vertical camera orientations.

Enable Eye-Control AF by setting the < > switch to < >. Eye-Control

AF is especially effective in the following cases:

•When you want to achieve focus instantly at the desired point.

•When you want to change the focusing point instantly.

The camera automatically detects its vertical or horizontal orientation. When you

switch the camera's orientation, the camera's orientation detection mechanism makes

a sound. This is completely normal.

Set the < > switch to < >.

•CAL and the calibration channel No. will

be displayed. A blinking channel No.

means that no calibration data is stored. If

the channel No. does not blink, it means

that calibration data has been stored in

that channel.

Focusing Point Selection

Eye-Control Calibration

Before using Eye-Control AF, you must calibrate the camera to recognize

your eye movements. The camera will then be able to detect where you

are looking in the viewfinder.

Calibration Procedure

You calibrate the camera by looking at a blinking focusing point in the

viewfinder and then pressing the shutter button. You do this for four

focusing points while holding the camera horizontally and again while

holding the camera vertically. Therefore, you have to follow the calibration

procedure eight times.

There are three calibration channels (CAL 1, 2, 3) which can store

different calibration data.

For example, you can store calibration data in channel 1 for your naked

eye and channel 2 for when you wear eyeglasses or contact lenses.

Channel 3 can be used to store calibration data for another user.

•Keep your eye on the viewfinder eyepiece until you complete the calibration procedure.

•In the same calibration channel, do the calibration procedure for both the horizontal and

vertical camera orientations.

If the calibration procedure is done only for the horizontal camera orientation, Eye-

Control AF during vertical picture-taking may be inaccurate. You should complete

the calibration procedure for both horizontal and vertical camera orientations in a

calibration channel.

04. C836-E (33~) 28-01-2003 11:10 Pagina 42

After you complete the calibration

procedure, the channel No. stops

blinking and stays lit. “ ” is also

displayed.

•If you take too long during the calibration

procedure and the blinking focusing point

turns off, press the shutter button and start

again from step 4.

After completing the horizontal

calibration procedure, calibrate for the

vertical camera orientation. Hold the

camera vertically. The calibration

sequence corresponds to the focusing

points numbered from (5) to (8) in the

figures.

•When the camera is held vertically with the

grip upward or downward, the focusing

points will still blink in the following order:

top, bottom, right, left.

•For this procedure, use the same

calibration channel No. you used for the

horizontal calibration procedure.

Hold the camera vertically and

press the shutter button.

•Focusing point (5) will start blinking.

Follow the same steps described in

steps 4 to 6 for focusing points (5)

to (8).

Set the < > switch to < > to end

the calibration procedure.

•The viewfinder display returns to normal.

•Calibration may not be possible if you wear mirror-type sunglasses.

•If Eye-Control AF cannot be used, use automatic or manual focusing point

selection. See page 38.

Eye-Control Calibration Refinement

Eye-Control precision can be improved by repeating the calibration

procedure under various conditions (outdoors, indoors, at night, etc.) for

the same channel No. The additional eye-related data can accumulate in

the same channel No. for both the horizontal and vertical camera

orientations.

•A calibration channel must not store calibration data for more than one person. Otherwise

Eye-Control precision will be affected. A different user should use a different calibration

channel that is available. Or, existing calibration data should be deleted to store new

calibration data. See page 46.

Calibration Tips

•Relax your shoulders and hold the camera steady in a natural posture.

•Align your line of sight with the center of the viewfinder.

•Instead of looking at the blinking focusing point itself, look at the point beyond it.

•If you wear eyeglasses, wear them properly without having them slide down your

nose.

If the calibration is not completed properly, the beeper will sound and the LCD panel

display items will blink. In such a case, press the shutter button again and start again

from step 4.

CAL is an abbreviation for calibration.
