  1. Range may be limited by object measured or environment.
  2. 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.
  3. Utilizing 12x digital magnification results in lower image quality when equivalent to approximately 820 mm, attributed to the use of digital zoom.
  4. 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)
  5. Shutter speed not shown in the viewfinder
  6. At eyepoint approx. 20 mm
  7. Shooting mode selection not available
  8. Image quality adjustment not available. Lower image quality when equivalent to approx. 820 mm, due to digital zoom.
  9. Movie recording size not adjustable. Lower image quality when equivalent to approx. 820 mm, due to digital zoom.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. The product's weight, including a compatible memory card and the built-in battery, based on CIPA guidelines.
