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 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.
● The camera automatically focuses on the AF point that is on the subject closest
to the camera.

● You can set the beep that indicates the subject is in focus or the beep that
indicates the self-timer is operating to [On] or [Off]. (

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) (

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

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.
