Troubleshooting Guide
 The CF card is not properly inserted. (p.28)
 If the CF card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to 
make room. 
(p.28, 124)
 If you try to focus in the One-Shot AF mode while the focus 
confirmation light < o> in the viewfinder blinks, a picture cannot be 
taken. Press the shutter button halfway again to focus, or focus 
manually. (p.32, 80)
  If dust is adhering to the LCD monitor, wipe with a lens cloth or soft 
cloth.
  In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow 
or it might look black. It will return to normal at room temperature.
  Set the lens focus mode switch to < AF>. (p.30)
  To prevent camera shake, hold the camera still and press the shutter 
button gently. (p.32, 35)
  If a CF card-related error message is displayed, see page 43 or 177.

Troubleshooting Guide
 When using Live View shooting, use a CF card (a hard disk-type CF 
card such as MicroDrive is not recommended). A hard disk-type CF 
card requires a lower temperature range for operation than with 
normal CF cards. If the temperature gets too high, the Live View 
shooting may stop temporarily to prevent damage to the card’s hard 
disk. When the camera’s internal temperature decreases, the Live 
View shooting will be able to resume. (p.107)
  If you shoot continuously with the built-in flash at short intervals, the 
flash might stop operating to protect the flash unit. 
  If the image has been erase-protected, it cannot be erased. (p.123)
  The correct date and time has not been set. (p.41)
  Make sure the video cable plug is connected all the way in. (p.122)
  Set the video OUT format (NTSC/PAL) to the same video format as 
the TV. (p.39)
  Use the video cable that came with the camera. (p.122)
Live View shooting is not possible.
The built-in flash does not fire.
Image Review & Operation
The image cannot be erased.
The shooting date and time displayed is incorrect.
No image appears on the TV screen.

If there is a problem with the camera, an 
error message appears. Follow the on-
screen instructions.
To recover from the error screen, turn the 
power switch off and on, or remove and 
reinstall the battery.
If error 02 (CF card problem) is displayed, 
remove and reinstall the CF card or format 
the card. This may resolve the problem.
If the same error keeps appearing, there may be a problem. Write 
down the error code and consult your nearest Canon Service 
Center.
