Warnings

• Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or at other intense light sources that could

injure your eyesight.

• Do not trigger the flash in close proximity to human or animal eyes. Exposure to the

intense light produced by the flash may injure eyesight. In particular, remain at least

one meter (39 inches) away from infants when using the flash.

• Store 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 the child’s neck could result in asphyxiation.

• Be particularly careful to keep the button batteries used in the camera and wireless

controller out of the reach of children. Seek medical assistance immediately if a child

swallows a battery.

• Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzene, thinners or other flammable

substances to clean or maintain the equipment. The use of these substances may lead

to fire.

• Do not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power adapter cord. Any of these

actions may cause an electrical short circuit, which may lead to fire or electrical shock.

Replace a broken or damaged power adapter cord.

• Do not handle the power cord if your hands are wet. Handling it with wet hands may

lead to electrical shock. When unplugging the cord, ensure that you hold the solid

portion of the plug. Pulling on the flexible portion of the cord may damage or expose the

wire and insulation, creating the potential for fires or electrical shocks.

• Use of power sources not expressly recommended for this equipment may lead to

overheating, distortion of the equipment, fire, electrical shock or other hazards. Use

only the recommended power accessories.

• Always turn off the computer and unplug the camera from the DC plug before

attaching or detaching any interface cables (except for USB cables). The cables carry

high-voltage currents and there is a risk of electrical shock.

• Do not place the batteries near a heat source or expose them to direct flame or heat.

Neither should you immerse them in water. Such exposure may damage the batteries and

lead to the leakage of corrosive liquids, fire, electrical shock, explosion or serious injury.

• Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the batteries. There is serious risk

of injury due to an explosion. Immediately flush with water any area of the body -

including the eyes and mouth, or clothing - that comes into contact with the inner

contents of a battery. If the eyes or mouth contact these substances, immediately flush

with water and seek medical assistance.

• Avoid dropping or subjecting the batteries to severe impacts that could damage the

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 Compact Power Adapter

CA-560 (if connected) from the camera and wait until the moisture evaporates

...

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 pack’s 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).

Turn the main dial to .

Slide the battery cover lock in the

direction of the arrow and open the

battery cover.

Preparing the Camera 27

•When the camera’s 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 manufacturer’s

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.

be followed by the main flash. The pre-flash is used by the camera to obtain the

subject’s exposure data so that the main flash can be set to the optimal intensity

for the shot.

About the Red-Eye Reduction Function

A subject’s eyes can appear red in an image shot with a flash in dim lighting due

to light reflecting back from the eye’s 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.

Changing the File Format

The recording file format can be switched to the RAW format. With the standard

JPEG file format, the camera processes images after capturing them to produce

optimal results. This format compresses images so that more can be stored on a

single CF card. However, the compression is irreversible, meaning that the original

image data cannot be recovered after processing. In contrast, the RAW format

records the image data as captured by the camera’s CCD without further

processing. RAW images are compressed, but the compression is reversible* so that

a high-quality image can be obtained from the decompressed file without any loss

of image quality. In addition, although a RAW file is larger than an equivalent JPEG

file, it is still only approximately one-quarter the size** of an uncompressed RGB

TIFF format file, making it relatively compact.

With standard uncompressed file formats, such as RGB TIFF, images are processed

in the camera and require further processing by retouching software to adjust the

image parameters, which reduces image quality. With the RAW format, however,

the original data can be used in special software* to adjust the image parameters

(white balance, contrast, sharpness and saturation) making it possible to maintain

the image quality while making changes. The resolution (2048 x 1536) and

compression settings cannot be adjusted for these images.

* The bundled software is required to restore RAW format data or adjust its parameters. Please consult

the separate Software Starter Guide for details.

** As measured by standard Canon test conditions.

Setting the Shutter Speed

When you set the shutter speed in the shutter speed-priority AE mode, the camera

automatically selects an aperture setting to match the brightness. Faster shutter

speeds allow you to catch an instantaneous image of a moving subject while

slower speeds create a flowing effect.

•If the aperture value is flashing or shown in red, the image is

under- or overexposed (insufficient light). Adjust the shutter

speed using the or arrow on the omni selector until the

flashing stops or the aperture value display turns to white.

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

increases at slow 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.

•At shutter speeds between 1/640 and 1/1000 second, the aperture presets to F8.0.

Shutter Speed Display

The shutter speeds from 1000 to 4 in the display are actually the denominator of a

fraction of a second. For example, 160 indicates a speed of 1/160 second. For

slower speeds, quote marks indicate the decimal place, so that 0"3 indicates 0.3

second and 2" indicates 2 seconds.

Using Conversion Lenses (Optional) /

Close-up Lenses (Optional)

The separately sold Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC58 is required to use

conversion and close-up lenses with the camera, such as the separately sold Wide

Converter WC-DC58, Tele-converter TC-DC58 and Close-up Lens 250D (58 mm).

•Ensure that the wide converter, tele-converter and close-up lens are firmly screwed

onto the adapter. Injury from glass shards can occur if the lens loosen and fall off.

•Never aim the wide converter, tele-converter or close-up lens directly at the sun or

bright lights.

Wide Converter WC-DC58

This 58 mm-threaded diameter

magnifying conversion lens is for

taking wide angle shots. The lens

augments the focal length of the

camera body’s lens by a factor of 0.8.

Tele-converter TC-DC58

This 58 mm-threaded diameter

magnifying conversion lens is for

taking telephoto shots. The lens

augments the focal length of the

camera body’s lens by a factor of 1.5.

•An externally mounted flash may not automatically adjust its output when a

conversion lens is mounted on the camera. You may have to set the camera to

manual mode and set the shutter speed and aperture to appropriate settings in

this case.

•Do not attach filters or lens hoods to the wide converter or tele-converter.

•When using the built-in flash to shoot, a portion of the image may be blocked by

the wide converter or tele-converter and appear dark.

•When using the viewfinder to shoot, a portion of the image in the viewfinder may

appear to be blocked by the wide converter or tele-converter.

•Use the wide converter lens with the focal length set to the maximum wide angle

setting.

•Use the tele-converter lens with the focal length set to the maximum telephoto

setting. At other zoom settings, the image will not appear correctly.
