Handling Cautions
Camera Care and Storage
• The camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to
physical shock.
• The camera is not waterproof and should not be used in wet
conditions or undenrvater. If the camera gets wet, take it to your
nearest Canon dealer as soon as possible. If small amounts of
water splash onto the camera, wipe it with a clean dry cloth. If fhe
camera is exposed to salty air, wipe it thoroughly with a slightly
damp cloth.
• Do not leave the camera in places prone to excessive heat such as
in a car on a sunny day. Excessive heat can cause the camera to
malfunction.
• The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to
disassemble the camera.
• Use only a blower brush to blow away any dust on the lens,
eyepiece, mirror, focusing screen, film compartmenf, etc. Do not
clean the camera bocfy or lens with any cleaner containing an
organic solvent. For stubborn dirt, consult your nearest Canon
dealer.
• The shutter curtains are extremely thin. Use only a blower to clean
them. Be careful not to blow air too forcefully on the shutter
curtains.The shutter curtains can be easily deformed or damaged.
Also, when loading and unloading film, be careful nof to touch the
shutter curtains.
• Do not touch the electrical contacts with your fingers. Otherwise
corrosion may develop on the contacts, resulting in improper
camera operation.
• If the camera is not to be used for an extended period, remove the
battery. Store the camera in a well-ventilated, cool, dry place.
During the storage period, press the shutter button to release the
shutter a few times once in a while.
• Avoid storing the camera in a laboratory, cabinet, etc,, where
corrosive chemicals are present.
• If you have not used the camera for some time or are planning to
take shots you will not want to lose (overseas vacation, etc.), have
the camera checked by your Canon dealer beforehand, or check
for yourself that the camera components are working properly.
LCD Displays
By their nature, LCD displays react more slowly at low
temperatures, and may appear dark at high temperatures. The
display will return to normal at room temperature.
Batteries
• Before installing the batteries, wipe the battery contacts to remove
any fingerprints and smudges. This is to prevent faulty connections
and corrosion.
• Never disassemble or recharge the batteries. Also, never store a
battery in high-temperature places or short circuit the battery
contacts or toss a battery into a fire.
• Although the batteries work well even at low temperatures, battery
performance may decline slightly at freezing temperatures. In such
a case, keep spare batteries warm in a pocket, etc., and use and
warm the batteries alternately.
How Low Battery Levels Affect Camera Operation
On the LCD panel, if the <dl]> icon blinks or it is not displayed, a
. proper exposure can still be obtained as long as the shutter
releases However, when the battery level is low, film advance and
auto rewind might stop midway or not work at all and <'fZI]> icon
may blink on the LCD panel. After the batteries are replaced with
new ones, film advance will be possible and film rewind can resume
by pressing the <0£> button.
Lens Electrical Contacts
After detaching the lens from the camera, put
on the lens caps or put down the lens with
the rear end up to avoid scratching the lens
surface and electrical contacts.

How the Shutter Button Works
The shutter button has two stages. You can press it down halfway or
fully. The two levels of shutter button operation are as follows:
When it is pressed halfway:
• Pressing the shutter button down
halfway activates autofocusing
(AF), and also activates the
automatic exposure (AE)
mechanism and sets the shutter
speed and aperture value.
• The exposure (the combination of
shutter speed and aperture value)
appears on the LCD panel and in
the viewfinder ((S4).
When it is pressed fully:
• The shutter is released to take the
picture and the film advances by
one frame.
If an Extender (optional) is used and the maximum aperture (the
lowest t/number) of the lens becomes smaller than f/5,6,
autofocusing will not operate.
1^ Camera movement during the moment of exposure is called
camera shake. Camera shake can cause blurred pictures. To
prevent blurred pictures due to camera shake:
• Hold the camera steady.
• Firmly grasp the camera grip with your right hand, and press
your both elbows lightly against your body.
• Hold the lens at the bottom with your left hand.
■ Press the camera against your face and look through the viewfinder.
• To maintain a stable stance, place one foot in front of the other
Instead of lining up both feel.
• Use your finger tip to touch the shutter button, grasp the camera
with your entire right hand, then press the shutter button gently.

Loading and Unloading Film
Loading Film
After you load the film, the camera first winds the entire roll onto the
camera's take-up spool. With DX-coded film, the camera
automatically sets the film's ISO speed. Then each time a picture is m
taken, one frame of film is rewound back into the film cartridge. The |
frame counter shows always number of shots remaining.
Turn the Mode Dial to any
I
setting except <QU9>.
^ Open the back cover.
• Slide down the back cover release
lever and open the back.
Insert the film cartridge at a
3
slight angle.
Align the film leader edge with
the < A> mark.

• Hold down the film cartridge while
pulling out the film leader. If you
pull out the film leader loo much,
rewind it back into the film
cartridge.
^ Close the back cover.
Close the back cover until it snaps
shut.
► Film prewind will start and there will
be a shutter-release sound about
10 sec. later. The < @ > icon and
frame count will also be displayed
on the LCD panel.

speed will be displayed oh the LCD
