power outlets in a different format, use a commercially available adapter for
the plug. Never use an electrical transformer designed for traveling, which may
damage the battery pack.

Zooming In Closer on Subjects (Digital Zoom)
When distant subjects are too far away to enlarge using optical zoom, use
digital zoom for up to about 32x enlargement.
1 Movethezoomlevertoward
[].
Hold the lever until zooming stops.
Zooming stops at the largest zoom factor
before the image becomes noticeably
grainy, which is then indicated on the
screen.
2 Movethezoomlevertoward
[]again.
The camera zooms in even closer on the
subject.
Zoom Factor
• Moving the zoom lever will display the zoom bar (which indicates
the zoom position). The zoom bar is color-coded to indicate the
zoom range.
- White range: optical zoom range where the image will not appear
grainy.
- Yellow range: digital zoom range where the image is not noticeably
grainy (ZoomPlus).
- Blue range: digital zoom range where the image will appear grainy.
Because the blue range will not be available at some recording pixel
settings (=
34), the maximum zoom factor can be achieved by
following step 1.
• Zoomed images may look grainy under some recording pixel
settings (=
34) and zoom factors. In this case, the zoom factor is
shown in blue.

Auto Zooming in Response to Subject
Movement (Auto Zoom)

automatically zooms out, and vice versa.
1 EnterAutoZoommode.
Press the [ ] button.
[ ] is displayed.
A white frame is displayed around the
detected face, and the camera zooms
in and out to keep the subject on the

When multiple faces are detected, a
white frame is displayed around the main
subject’s face and up to two gray frames
around other faces, as the camera zooms
to keep these subjects on the screen.
2 Shoot.
Auto zooming continues even after you
shoot, and the frames are still displayed.
To cancel auto zooming, press the [ ]
button again. [ ] is displayed.
• Faces may not be detected at some zoom factors, or if the subject’s
head is tilted or facing the camera indirectly.
• Auto zooming is deactivated in the following situations.
- When you change the shooting mode
- When you press the [ ] button, movie button, or [ ] button
- When you press the [ ] button
• When a detected subject moves toward the edge of the screen, the camera
zooms out to keep the subject on the screen.
• The zoom factor cannot be changed after you press the shutter button all the
way down in self-timer mode (=

• The camera prioritizes zooming to keep subjects on the screen. For this
reason, it may not be possible to maintain a constant face display size,
depending on subject movement and shooting conditions.
• When no face is detected, the camera zooms to a certain level and stops
zooming until a face is detected.

Using an Eye-Fi/FlashAir Card
BeforeusinganEye-Fi/FlashAircard,alwaysconrmthatlocaluseis
permitted.
You can send images from the camera to Wi-Fi compatible smartphones,
tablets, or computers by inserting a FlashAir card in the camera. 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/FlashAir card. Refer to the card’s user
manual or contact the manufacturer for instructions on preparing and using
cards or resolving transfer problems.
• When using an Eye-Fi/FlashAir card, keep the following points in
mind.
- Cards may continue to emit radio waves even after [FlashAir] is
set to [Off] (=
90) or [Eye-Fi trans.] is set to [Disable] (=
91).
Remove the 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 network connections may delay or interrupt image transfer.
- 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].

Handling Precautions
• The camera is a high-precision electronic device. Avoid dropping it or
subjecting it to strong impact.
• Never bring the camera near magnets, motors, or other devices that
generatestrongelectromagneticelds,whichmaycausemalfunctionor
erase image data.
• If water droplets or dirt adheres to the camera or screen, wipe with a dry
soft cloth, such as an eyeglass cloth. Do not rub hard or apply force.
• Never use cleaners containing organic solvents to clean the camera or
screen.
• Useablowerbrushtoremovedustfromthelens.Ifcleaningisdifcult,
contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
• To prevent condensation from forming on the camera after sudden
temperature changes (when the camera is transferred from cold to warm
environments), put the camera in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and
let it gradually adjust to the temperature before removing it from the bag.
• If condensation does form on the camera, stop using it immediately.
Continuing to use the camera in this state may damage it. Remove
the battery pack and memory card, and wait until the moisture has
evaporated before resuming use.
• Store unused battery packs in a plastic bag or other container. To maintain
battery performance if you will not use the battery pack for some time,
about once a year charge it and then use the camera until it runs out of
power before storing the battery pack.
