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	power	button	is	pressed.•	 Confirm that the battery is charged ( =  11).
•	 Confirm that the battery is inserted facing the correct way ( =  12).
•	 Confirm that the memory card/battery cover is fully closed ( =  12).
•	 Dirty battery terminals reduce battery performance. Try cleaning the terminals with a 
cotton swab and reinserting the battery a few times.
The	battery	is	depleted	quickly.•	Battery performance decreases at low temperatures. Try warming the battery a little 
by putting it in your pocket, for example, ensuring that the terminals d\
o not touch any 
metal objects.
•	 If these measures do not help and the battery is still depleted soon aft\
er charging, it 
has reached the end of its life. Purchase a new battery.
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 (=  12).
The	battery	is	swollen.•	Battery swelling is normal and does not pose any safety concerns. Howeve\
r, if battery 
swelling prevents the battery from fitting in the camera, contact a Canon Customer 
Support Help Desk.
Display on a TV
Camera	images	look	distorted	or	not	displayed	on	a	TV	(=		120).
Shooting
Cannot	shoot.
•	 In Playback mode ( =  14), press the shutter button halfway ( =  30).
Strange	display	on	the	screen	under	low	light	(=		30).

s but are 
recorded in movies.
•	 The screen may darken under bright light.
•	 The screen may flicker under fluorescent or LED lighting.
•	 Purplish banding may appear on the screen if you compose a shot that inc\
ludes a 
bright light source.
No	date	stamp	is	added	to	images.•	 Configure the [Date Stamp ] setting (=  111). Note that date stamps are not added to 
images automatically, merely because you have configured the [Date/Time] setting (=  41).
•	 Date stamps are not added in shooting modes ( =  142) in which this setting cannot 
be configured ( =  41). 
[h]	flashes	on	the	screen	when	the	shutter	button	is	pressed,	and	shooting	is	not	possible	(=		36).
[
]	is	displayed	when	the	shutter	button	is	pressed	halfway	(=		41).•	 Set [IS Mode] to [Continuous] (=  69).
•	 Set the flash mode to [h] (=  68).
•	 Increase the ISO speed (=  60).
•	 Mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures to keep it still. In\
 this case, you 
should set [IS Mode] to [Off] (=
  69).
Shots	are	out	of	focus.•	Press the shutter button halfway to focus on subjects before pressing it\
 all the way 
down to shoot (=  30).
•	 Make sure subjects are within focusing range ( =  146).
•	 Set [AF-assist Beam] to [On] ( =  46).
•	 Confirm that unneeded functions such as macro are deactivated.
•	 Try shooting with focus lock or AF lock (=
  66, 67).
No	AF	frames	are	displayed	and	the	camera	does	not	focus	when	the	shutter	button	is	pressed	halfway.•	To have AF frames displayed and the camera focus correctly, try composing the 
shot with higher-contrast subject areas centered before you press the sh\
utter button 
halfway. Otherwise, try pressing the shutter button halfway repeatedly.
