the beach, clean it thoroughly afterward with a dry cloth.
3. Store the camera in a cool, dry, dust-free place. Be sure to keep the camera out of
direct sunlight, and away from “hot spots” such as the trunk or rear window shelf of a
car. Avoid places where mothballs are used, and use a desiccant in excessive humidity.
4. Do not attempt to disassemble the camera yourself, since there is high-voltage
circuitry inside.
5. The battery may explode or cause burns if disassembled, recharged, shorted,
exposed to high temperatures, or disposed of in a fire.
6. Use a blower brush to remove dust and sand from the lens and inside the camera.
Do not apply any fluids to the lens or body.

A new battery will generally provide enough charge to shoot approx.
14 rolls of 24-exposure film (based on Canon’s Standard Test Method at
normal temperature and with 50% flash use). At low temperatures (-10°C/
14°F), the battery life is approximately one third of the normal figure.

drop off temporarily and prevent the LCD panel from displaying
information correctly.
