You can recharge the battery using Battery Charger CB-2LV/CB-2LVE 
(sold separately).
It takes approximately 1 hour 30 minutes to fully charge the 
battery from a depleted state (based on Canon’s testing 
standards).
zCharging it within a temperature range of 5 – 40 °C (41 – 
104 °F) is recommended.
zCharge times may vary according to the ambient 
temperature and the batterys charge state.
Using the Batter y Charger (Sold Separately)
1Insert the batter y pack 
into the batter y charger.
2Batter y charger model 
names and types var y by 
region.
(For CB-2LV)
Plug the battery charger into a power 
outlet.
(For CB-2LVE)
Attach the power cord to the battery 
charger and plug it into a power outlet.
zThe charge indicator will light orange while the battery is 
charging. It will change to green when the charge is com-
plete.
zAfter charging, unplug the battery charger and immediately 
remove the battery.
To protect the battery and prolong its life, do not charge it for 
longer than 24 hours continuously.

High-Power Flash HF-DC1
This flash is used to supplement the cameras built-in flash when 
the subject is too far away for proper illumination. Use the following 
procedures to affix the camera and High-Power Flash to the 
supporting bracket. 
Please read the instructions accompanying the flash along with this 
explanation. 
Using an Externally Mounted Flash
(Sold Separately)
zThe flash charge time will lengthen as the battery charge 
gets weaker. Always set the power/mode switch to [OFF] 
when you finish using the flash.
zBe careful not to touch the flash window or sensor 
windows with your fingers while the flash is in use.
zThe flash may fire if another flash is being used in close 
proximity.
zThe High-Power Flash may not fire outdoors in daylight or 
when there are no reflective items.
zFor continuous shooting, although the flash fires for the 
first shot, it does not fire for subsequent shots.
zFasten the attachment screws securely so that they do not 
loosen. Failure to do so may lead to the dropping of the 
camera and flash resulting in damage to both.

zBefore attaching the bracket to the flash, check that the 
lithium battery (CR123A or DL123) is installed.
zTo illuminate the subjects properly, install the flash so that it 
is up against the side of the camera and parallel with the 
camera’s front panel.
zA tripod can be used even when the flash is attached.
Batteries
zCharge becomes Severely Limited
If the battery usage time has considerably diminished, wipe the 
battery terminals well with a dry cloth. The terminals may be dirty 
from fingerprints.
zUsage in Cold Temperatures
Get a spare generic lithium battery (CR123A or DL123). You are 
recommended to place the spare battery in your pocket to warm it 
up before switching it for the battery in the flash. 
zNon-Use over Extended Periods
Leaving batteries in the High-Power Flash could allow the battery 
fluid to leak, damaging the product. Remove the batteries from the 
High-Power Flash and store them in a cool, dry place.

Camera Body
Gently wipe dirt off the camera body with a soft cloth or eyeglass 
lens wiper.
Lens
First use a lens blower brush to remove dust and dirt, then remove 
any remaining dirt by wiping the lens lightly with a soft cloth.
Owing to its construction, the lens will retract slightly when wiped. 
This does not constitute a malfunction, however, be careful not to 
let dust and dirt into the body while it is in this state.
LCD Monitor
Use a lens blower brush to remove dust and dirt. If necessary, 
gently wipe with a soft cloth or an eyeglass lens wiper to remove 
stubborn dirt.
Camera Care and Maintenance
Never use thinners, benzine, synthetic cleansers or water to 
clean the camera. These substances may distort or damage 
the equipment.
Never use synthetic cleansers on the camera body or lens. If 
dirt remains, contact the closest Canon Customer Support 
Help Desk as listed on rear of this booklet or the European 
Warranty System (EWS) Booklet.
Never rub or press strongly on the LCD monitor. These 
actions may damage it or lead to other problems.

* This digital camera supports Exif 2.2 (also called 
“Exif Print”). Exif Print is a standard for enhancing 
the communication between digital cameras and 
printers. By connecting to an Exif Print-compliant 
printer, the camera’s image data at the time of 
shooting is used and optimized, yielding extremely 
high quality prints.

zThe actual figures will vary according to the shooting conditions 
and settings.
zMovie data is excluded.
zAt low temperatures, the battery performance may diminish and 
the low battery icon may appear very rapidly. In these circum-
stances, the performance can be improved by warming the bat-
tery in a pocket before use.
Test ConditionsShooting: Normal temperature (23 °C ± 2 °C/73 °F ± 3.6 °F), 
normal relative humidity (50% ± 20%), alternating wide 
angle end and telephoto end shots at 30 second intervals 
with the flash fired once every two shots and the camera 
power turned off after every tenth shot. Power is left off 
for a sufficient amount of time*, then the power is turned 
back on and the testing procedure is repeated.
zA Canon-brand memory card is used.
*Until the battery returns to normal temperaturePlayback: Normal temperature (23 °C ± 2 °C/73 °F ± 3.6 °F), 
normal relative humidity (50% ± 20%), continuous 
playback at 3 seconds per image.
