If the items below do not solve your problem, contact a Canon Customer
Support Help Desk.

• Conrm that the battery is charged (=
10).
• Conrm that the battery is inserted facing the correct way (=
11).
• Conrm that the memory card/battery cover is fully closed (=

• Dirty battery terminals reduce battery performance. Try cleaning the terminals with a
cotton swab and reinserting the battery a few times.
The battery is depleted quickly.
• Battery performance decreases at low temperatures. Try warming the battery a little
by putting it in your pocket, for example, ensuring that the terminals do not touch any
metal objects.
• If these measures do not help and the battery is still depleted soon after charging, it
has reached the end of its life. Purchase a new battery.
Thebatteryisswollen.
• Battery swelling is normal and does not pose any safety concerns. However, if battery
swelling prevents the battery from tting in the camera, contact a Canon Customer
Support Help Desk.
