INSTRUCTIONS
Handling Precautions
1
1. Before taking pictures of important events, such as weddings and trips, check to
make sure the camera is working properly.
2. This camera is not resistant to water, and should not be used outdoors if it is raining or
snowing. Keep the camera out of salt spray and excessive humidity. If used at the beach,
clean it thoroughly afterwards with a dry cloth.
3. Store the camera in a cool, dry, dust-free place. Be sure to keep the camera out of direct
sunlight, and away from “hot spots” such as the trunk or rear window shelf of a car. Avoid
places where mothballs are used, and use a desiccant in excessive humidity.
4. Do not attempt to disassemble the camera yourself, since there is high-voltage circuitry
inside.

Shooting with Self-timer
Date/time etc. imprinted here
The self-timer function allows you to take a picture from a distance away from the camera
when it is attached to a tripod.
A new battery will generally provide enough charge to shoot approx. 16 rolls of 24-
exposure film (based on Canon’s Standard Test Method at normal temperature and with
50% flash use). At low temperatures (–10°C/ 14°F), the battery life is approximately one third
of the normal figure.

Using Red-eye Reduction Function Effectively
3
4
Set the focus.
When you use the flash to take photos of people in low light conditions, their eyes sometimes
glow red in the photograph. This is referred to as the red-eye effect and is caused by the light
of the flash being reflected off the retina of the eye.
When the red-eye reduction operates, the red-eye reduction lamp lights for approximately 1
second before the flash fires. This causes the subjectís pupils to contract, minimizing the risk
of red-eye.
CF2: Shooting Mode and Flash Mode Memory
●
Position the wide area AF frame over your subject
and lightly press the shutter button halfway down.
When the subject is in focus, the green lamp

or focus on one particular subject.
The subject must be positioned in the center of the wide area AF frame.
Compose the shot and take the picture.
●
Press the shutter button fully.
When the red-eye reduction function operates, a picture can not be taken for
approximately 1 second (the green lamp blinks 16 times). Hold down the shutter button
until you hear the sound of the film winding on.
●
Press the shutter button slowly and gently.
CF5: Continuous Shooting
While the shutter button is pressed, you can take continuous shots.
●
●
Holding the Camera

your hair, fingers or camera strap etc. do not come into contact with the lens, the AF
sensor or the flash.
Changing the Flash Mode

●
The Custom Functions were all set to zero (0) at the factory setting.
The Custom Function settings are retained even when you switch the camera off and

You can cause the flash to fire for every shot or suppress flash operation completely to suit
the subject or location.
