- Range may be limited by object measured or environment.
- Straight-line measurement, based on Canon testing standards. PowerShot GOLF is a basic rangefinder; measurement results should not be used for official records or the like.
- Utilizing 12x digital magnification results in lower image quality when equivalent to approximately 820 mm, attributed to the use of digital zoom.
- Equipped with Optical image stabilizer to improve stills and video shooting, and the user experience of the clear view when using the Electronic Viewfinder. (CIPA standard measurement not possible)
- Shutter speed not shown in the viewfinder
- At eyepoint approx. 20 mm
- Shooting mode selection not available
- Image quality adjustment not available. Lower image quality when equivalent to approx. 820 mm, due to digital zoom.
- Movie recording size not adjustable. Lower image quality when equivalent to approx. 820 mm, due to digital zoom.
- USB recharging may not begin automatically if the battery is almost fully charged. For best results, recharge batteries at a temperature of 5°C to 40°C. Charging time with Canon PD-E1 is approx. 2 hour 30 mins.
- Terminal cover must be securely closed to maintain water resistance. Although the rangefinder features water-resistant construction, this cannot completely prevent water droplets from entering the rangefinder.
- The product's weight, including a compatible memory card and the built-in battery, based on CIPA guidelines.
