Handling Precautions
Before taking pictures of important events, such as weddings and trips, check
1
to make sure the camera is working properly.
This camera is not resistant to water, and should not be used outdoors if it is raining
or snowing. Keep the camera out of salt spray and excessive humidity. If used at 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.
