If you experience any malfunctions, problems, or damage to the product, contact the nearest Canon Service Centeror the dealerfrom whom you purchased the product.
Warnings
To prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, explosions, and electrical shock,
follow the safeguards below:
•Do not use any batteries, power sources, or accessories not specified in the Instruction Manual. Do not use any home-made or modified batteries.
•Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery. Do not apply heat or solder to the battery. Do not expose the battery to fire or water. Do not subject the battery to strong physical shock.
•Do not insert the battery’s plus and minus ends incorrectly.
•Do not recharge the battery in temperatures outside the allowable ambienttemperature range. Also, do not exceed the recharging time indicated in the Instruction Manual.
•Do not insert any foreign metallic objects into the electrical contacts of the camera, accessories, connecting cables, etc.
When disposing of a battery, insulate the electrical contacts with tape to prevent
contact with other metallic objects or batteries. This is to prevent a fire or an explosion.
If excessive heat, smoke, or fumes are emitted when recharging the battery,
immediately unplug the battery charger from the power outlet to stop recharging. Otherwise, it may cause a fire, heat damage, or electrical shock.
If the battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or fumes, remove it
immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process. It may cause a fire, electrical shock or skin burn if you keep using it.
Prevent any battery leakage from contacting your eyes, skin, and clothing. It can
cause blindness or skin problems. If the battery leakage contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing, flush the affected area with lots of clean water without rubbing it. See aphysician immediately.
Do not leave any cords near a heat source. It can deform the cord or melt the
insulation and cause a fire or electrical shock.
Do not hold the camera in the same position for long periods of time. Even if the
camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same body part may cause skin redness, blistering or low-temperature contact burns. Using a tripod is recommended for people with circulation problems or very sensitive skin, or when using the camera in very hot places.
Do not fire the flash at anyone driving a car or other vehicle. It may cause an
accident.
Follow the warnings below. Otherwise, death or serious injuriesmay result.

Safety Precautions
Do not fire the flash near a person’s eyes. It may impair the person’s vision. When
using flash to photograph an infant, keep at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away.
When the camera or accessories are not in use, make sure to remove the battery and
disconnect the power plug from the equipment before storing. This is to prevent electrical shock, excessive heat, fire, or corrosion.Do notuse the equipment wherethere isflammable gas. This isto prevent an explosion ora fire.
If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts, do
not touch the internal parts. There is a possibility of an electrical shock.
Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. High-voltage internal parts can cause
electrical shock.
Do not look at the sun or an extremely bright light source through the camera or lens.
Doing so may damage your vision.Keep equipmentoutof the reach ofchildren and infants,includingwhenin use.Strapsorcords may accidentally cause choking, electrical shock,or injury. Choking or injury may also occur if a child or infant accidentally swallows a camera part or accessory. If a child or infant swallows a part or accessory, consult a physician immediately.
Do not use or store the equipment in dusty or humid places. Likewise, store the
battery with its protective cover attached to prevent short-circuit. This is to prevent a fire, excessive heat, electrical shock, or burn.
Before using the camera inside an airplane or hospital, check if it is allowed.
Electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the plane’s instruments or the hospital’s medical equipment.
To prevent a fire and electrical shock, follow the safeguards below:
•Always insert the power plug all the way in.
•Do not handle a power plug with wet hands.
•When unplugging a power plug, grasp and pull the plug instead of the cord.
•Donot scratch, cut, or excessivelybend the cord or put a heavy object on the cord. Also do not twist or tie the cords.
•Do not connect too many power plugs to the same power outlet.
•Do not use a cord whose wire is broken or insulation is damaged.
Unplug the power plug periodically and clean off the dust aroundthe power outlet with
a dry cloth. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, thedust on the power outletmay become moist and short-circuit the outlet, causing a fire.Do not connect the battery directly to an electrical outlet or a car’s cigarettelighter outlet. The battery may leak, generate excessive heat or explode, causingafire, burns orinjuries.
A thorough explanation of how to use the product by an adult is required when the
product is used by children. Supervise children while they are using the product. Incorrect usage may result in electrical shock or injury.
Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera in the sun without the lens cap attached.
Otherwise, the lens may concentrate the sun’s rays and cause a fire.
Do not cover or wrap the product with a cloth. Doing so may trap heat within and
cause the casing to deform or catch fire.
Be careful not to get thecamera wet. If you drop the product in the water or if water or
metal get inside the product, promptly remove the battery. This is to prevent a fire and an electrical shock.
Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the product.
Doing so may cause fire or a health hazard.
