Solution
It is not possible to use the camera to crop or perform angular adjustments on images saved to the camera. However, you can use the [Cropping] setting on the print setting screen to crop the image and print only an enlarged version of the cropped portion, as if the image had been recomposed.
IMPORTANT
- Use the provided interface cable or one from Canon. When connecting the interface cable, use the provided cable protector. Using the cable protector prevents the cable from accidental disconnection and the terminal from getting damaged.
- Set the cropping right before printing. If you change the print settings after setting the cropping, you may have to set the cropping again before printing.
- Check the camera’s LCD monitor while cropping the image. If you look at the image on a TV screen, the cropping frame may not be displayed accurately.
CAUTION
- Connecting interface cable without using the cable protector may damage the digital terminal.
- Do not use a USB 2.0 cable equipped with a Micro-B plug. It may damage the camera’s digital terminal.
- Check that the interface cable is securely attached to the digital terminal.
