Fully Automatic Picture Taking

●If the CF card becomes full, the CF Full message “ ” appears on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder, and the camera will not take any more pictures. Replace the CF card with another CF card that has capacity available.

●When the in-focus indicator <●> is blinking, the camera will not take pictures. (→59, 137)

● The focus and exposure are locked when AF focusing is complete.

Automatic Built-in Flash

In the Basic Zone (other than <> and <>), the flash pops up automatically and fires in low-light conditions or backlit daylight conditions. Press the flash back down when you are finished using it.

If anything blocks the flash so that it cannot pop up automatically, the error code

“ ” (→135) appears on the LCD panel. When this occurs, set the Main Switch to <OFF> and then set it to <ON> again.

●To take pictures in an area where flash photography is prohibited or using indoor

lighting, the < > (Program) (→68) mode setting is recommended.

●When taking flash pictures of people at night or in dark interiors, we recommend using “Red-eye Reduction”→( 89).

AF-Assist Beam

●In dark locations, pressing the shutter button

down halfway causes the AF-assist beam emitter to light. The AF-assist beam helps the AF function.

● The built-in AF-assist beam’s maximum range is 3.8 meters /12.5 ft.

● When an EX-series external Canon Speedlite (optional) is used, the AF-assist beam will be emitted either by the camera or external Speedlite depending on the shooting conditions.

● In the <> and < > modes, the AF-assist lamp will not light.
