    Using an Eye-Fi Card
    Before using an Eye-Fi card, always confirm that local use is permitted 
    (=  2).
    Inserting a prepared Eye-Fi card enables automatic wireless transfer of \
    images to a computer or uploading to a photo-sharing website.
    Images are transferred by the Eye-Fi card. Refer to the card’s user manual 
    or contact the manufacturer for instructions on preparing and using card\
    s or 
    resolving transfer problems. •	When using an Eye-Fi card, keep the following points in mind.
    -
     Cards may continue to transmit radio waves even when [Eye-Fi 
    trans.] is set to [Disable] (=  97). Remove the Eye-Fi card before 
    entering hospitals, aircraft, or other areas where transmission is 
    prohibited.
    -
     When troubleshooting image transfer issues, check the card and 
    computer settings. For details, refer to the card’s user manual.
    -
     Poor Eye-Fi connections may cause image transfer to take a long 
    time, and transfer may be interrupted in some cases.
    -
     Eye-Fi cards may become hot, due to their transfer functions.
    - Battery power will be consumed faster than in normal use.
    - Camera operation may become sluggish. To resolve this, 
    try setting [Eye-Fi trans.] to [Disable].

    press the  button.
    zzChoose [Eye-Fi trans.], and then choose 
    [Disable].
    •	 [Eye-Fi Settings] is not shown unless an Eye-Fi card is in the 
    camera with its write-protect tab in the unlocked position. For this 
    reason, you cannot change settings for an inserted Eye-Fi card if 
    the write-protect tab is in the locked position.
    Connection status of Eye-Fi cards in the camera can be checked on the 
    shooting screen (in regular information display mode) or playback scre\

    Troubleshooting
    If you think there is a problem with the camera, first check the following. 
    If the items below do not solve your problem, contact a Canon Customer 
    Support Help Desk.
    Power
    Nothing	happens	when	the	ON/OFF	button	is	pressed.
    •	Confirm that the battery pack is charged ( =  11).
    •	 Confirm that the battery pack is inserted facing the correct way ( =  12).
    •	 Confirm that the memory card/battery cover is fully closed ( =  13).
    •	 Dirty battery terminals reduce battery performance. Try cleaning the terminals with a 
    cotton swab and reinserting the battery pack a few times.
    The	battery	pack	runs	out	of	power	quickly.•	Battery performance decreases at low temperatures. Try warming the battery pack a 
    little by putting it in your pocket, for example, ensuring that the term\
    inals do not touch 
    any metal objects.
    •	 If these measures do not help and the battery pack still runs out of pow\
    er soon after 
    charging, it has reached the end of its life. Purchase a new battery pac\
    k.
    The	lens	is	not	retracted.•	Do not open the memory card/battery cover while the camera is on. Close \
    the cover, 
    turn the camera on, and then turn it off again (=  13).
    The	battery	pack	is	swollen.•	Battery swelling is normal and does not pose any safety concerns. Howeve\
    r, if 
    battery swelling prevents the battery pack from fitting in the camera, contact a Canon 
    Customer Support Help Desk.
