Refer to This Manual while Using the Camera to Further

Familiarize Yourself with the Camera

With a digital camera, you can immediately view the image you have

captured. While reading this manual, take a few test shots and see how

they come out. You can then better understand the camera.

To avoid botched pictures and accidents, first read the “Safety

Warnings” (p.382, 383) and “Handling Precautions” (p.16, 17).

Testing the Camera Before Use and Liability

After shooting, play images back and check whether they have been

properly recorded. If the camera or memory card is faulty and the

images cannot be recorded or downloaded to a computer, Canon

cannot be held liable for any loss or inconvenience caused.

Copyrights

images or copyrighted music and images with music in the memory

card for anything other than private enjoyment. Also be aware that

certain public performances, exhibitions, etc., may prohibit photography

even for private enjoyment.

Introduction

The camera can use the following cards regardless of capacity:

• SD memory cards

• SDHC memory cards*

• SDXC memory cards*

* UHS-I cards compatible.

When shooting movies, use a large-capacity card with a fast reading/

writing speed as shown in the table.

If you use a slow-writing card when shooting movies, the movie may

not be recorded properly. Also, if you play back a movie on a card

with a slow reading speed, the movie may not play back properly.

If you want to shoot still photos while shooting a movie, you will need

an even faster card.

To check the card’s reading/writing speed, refer to the card

manufacturer’s Web site.
