Canon PowerShot S2 IS Camera User Guide

Before using the camera, please ensure that you read and understand the safety precautions described below. Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly. The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to instruct you in the safe and correct operation of the camera and its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to yourself, other persons and equipment. In the following pages, the term “equipment” refers primarily to the camera and its batteries, separately sold battery charger, compact power adapter and high-power flash.

You can quickly switch between Shooting mode and Playback mode. This is convenient when you wish to shoot again after checking or deleting an image immediately after it is shot.

You will hear a start-up sound and see the start-up image when you turn on the power (p. 127). However, when starting with the viewfinder display, the start-up image is not displayed and there is no start-up sound. “Card locked!” appears on the LCD monitor or viewfinder when power is turned on, writing to the memory card is not possible (p. 18). The start-up image does not appear when the viewfinder display is on in Shooting mode (p. 27) or the A/V OUT terminal is connected to a TV. Be careful not to touch the lens when shooting. Please also refrain from forcing the lens with fingers or other objects. It could lead to malfunctions or damage the camera. If the camera is not operating correctly, turn the camera off and back on.
