What kind of memory card should I use?

Troubleshooting
Camera won't turn on or battery drains quickly.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. If battery life is short, check if features like Wi-Fi or Live View are constantly enabled, as they consume more power. Consider purchasing a spare battery for extended shooting.
Photos appear blurry or out of focus.
Check your focus mode; ensure it's set to autofocus (AF) unless you intend to manually focus. Verify that the lens switch is set to AF. In low light, the camera may struggle to focus; try using the built-in flash or moving to a brighter area. Use a faster shutter speed or a tripod to prevent camera shake.
Wi-Fi connection to smartphone fails or disconnects.
Ensure the Canon Camera Connect app is installed and up to date on your smartphone. Turn off and on both the camera's Wi-Fi and your phone's Wi-Fi. Check your camera's Wi-Fi settings to ensure it's in access point mode and your phone is connected to the camera's Wi-Fi network. Keep your phone close to the camera for a stable connection.
Images are too dark or too bright.
In automatic modes, the camera might misinterpret the scene. Try using exposure compensation (the +/- button) to adjust brightness. In manual modes, adjust your aperture (f-number), shutter speed, or ISO sensitivity. A higher ISO or slower shutter speed brightens an image, while a smaller aperture (higher f-number) darkens it but increases depth of field.

Care and Maintenance
