    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	pack	is	charged	(=  12).
    •	 Confirm	that	the	battery	pack	is	inserted	facing	the	correct	way	(=  13).
    •	 Confirm	that	the	memory	card/battery	cover	is	fully	closed	(=  14).
    •	 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 (=  14).
    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.
    Display on a TV
    Camera images look distorted or not displayed on a TV ( =  165).
    Shooting
    Cannot shoot.•	In Playback mode ( =  101), press the shutter button halfway (=  22).
    Nothing is displayed ( =  32).
    Strange display on the screen under low light ( =
      23).

    Note that the following display problems are not recorded in still image\
    s but are 
    recorded in movies.
    •	 The
    	screen	may	flicker	and	horizontal	banding	may	appear	under	fluorescent	or	LED	lighting.
    No date stamp is added to images.•	Configure	the	[Date	Stamp	] setting (=  38). Note that date stamps are not 
    added	to	images	automatically,	merely	because	you	have	configured	the	[Date/Time]	setting (=  14).
    •	 Date stamps are not added in shooting modes ( =  201) in which this setting cannot 
    be	configured	( =  38).

    [
    ] is displayed when the shutter button is pressed halfway (=  32).•	 Set [IS Mode] to [Continuous] (=  89).
    •	 Raise	the	flash	and	set	the	flash	mode	to	[h] (=  85).
    •	 Increase the ISO speed (=  70).
    •	 Mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures to keep it still. In\
     this case, you 
    should set [IS Mode] to [Off] (=
      89).
    Shots are out of focus.•	Press the shutter button halfway to focus on subjects before pressing it\
     all the way 
    down to shoot (=  22).
    •	 Make sure subjects are within focusing range ( =  205).
    •	 Set [AF-assist Beam] to [On] ( =  48).
    •	 Confirm	that	unneeded	functions	such	as	macro	are	deactivated.
    •	 Try shooting with focus lock or AF lock (=
      81, 85).

    White	dots	or	similar	image	artifacts	appear	in	flash	shots.
    •	This	is	caused	by	light	from	the	flash	reflecting	off	dust	or	airborne	particles.
    Shots look grainy.•	Lower the ISO speed (=  70).
    •	 High ISO speeds in some shooting modes may cause grainy images ( =  53).
    Subjects are affected by red-eye (=  45).•	Set [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] (=  49) to activate the red-eye reduction lamp 
    (=  3)	in	flash	shots.	For	best	results,	have	subjects	look	at	the	red-eye	reduction	lamp. Also try increasing the lighting in indoor scenes and shooting at closer\
     range.
    •	 Edit images using red-eye correction ( =  121).
    Recording to the memory card takes too long, or continuous shooting 
    is slower.
    •	Use the camera to perform low-level formatting of the memory card ( =  154).
    Shooting settings or FUNC. menu settings are not available.•	Available setting items vary by shooting mode. Refer to “Functions Available in Each 
    Shooting Mode”, “FUNC. Menu”, and “Shooting Tab Menu” (=  193 – 201).
    The Babies or Children icon does not display.•	The Babies and Children icons will not display if the birthday is not se\
    t in face 
    information ( =  39). If the icons still do not display even when you set the birthday, 
    re-register face information ( =  39), or make sure that the date/time are set 
    correctly (=  151).
    Cannot shoot planetarium stars well in [] mode.•	 Shoot actual starry skies instead.
    Shooting Movies
    The elapsed time shown is incorrect, or recording is interrupted.•	Use the camera to format the memory card, or switch to a card that suppo\
    rts high-
    speed recording. Note that even if the elapsed time display is incorrect\
    , the length 
    of movies on the memory card corresponds to the actual recording time (\
     =

    •	 Lower	the	image	quality	(=  46).
    •	 Switch to a memory card that supports high-speed recording ( =  205).
