Safety Precautions

The following precautions are provided to prevent harm or injury to yourself and others. Make sure to thoroughly understand and follow these precautions before using the product.
Warnings
To prevent re, excessive heat, chemical leakage, explosions, and electrical shock,
follow the safeguards below:
- Do not use any batteries, power sources, or accessories not specied in the Instruction Manual. Do not use any home-made or modied batteries, or the product if it is damaged.
- Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery. Do not apply heat or solder to the battery. Do not expose the battery to re 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 charging
(working) temperature range. Also, do not exceed the recharge 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. Contact with
other metallic objects or batteries may cause a re 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 re, 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 re, electrical shock or burns 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 comes in contact with your eyes, skin, or clothing, ush the affected area with lots of clean water without rubbing it. See a physician immediately.
Do not leave any cords near a heat source. It can deform the cord or melt the
insulation and cause a re 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 or blistering due to low-temperature contact burns. Using a tripod is recommended when using the camera in very hot places or for people with circulation problems or poor skin sensation.
Do not re the ash at anyone driving a car or other vehicle. It may cause an accident.
When the camera or accessories are not in use, make sure to remove the battery,
and disconnect the power plug and connecting cables from the equipment before storing. This is to prevent electrical shock, excessive heat, re, and corrosion.
Follow the warnings below. Otherwise, death or serious injuries
:
may result.
22
Do not use the equipment where there is ammable gas. This is to prevent an
explosion or a re.
If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts,
do not touch the exposed 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 equipment out of the reach of children and infants, including when in use. Straps
or cords 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, keep the battery away from metallic items and store it with its protective cover attached to prevent short­circuit. This is to prevent re, excessive heat, electrical shock, and burns.
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 re 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.
- Do not scratch, cut, or excessively bend 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 around the power outlet
with a dry cloth. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power outlet may become moist and short-circuit the outlet, causing a re.
Do not connect the battery directly to an electrical outlet or a car’s cigarette lighter outlet.
The battery may leak, generate excessive heat or explode, causing re, burns, or injuries.
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 re.
Do not cover or wrap the product with a cloth when using it. Doing so may trap heat
within and cause the casing to deform or catch re.
Be careful not to get the camera 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 re, electrical shock, and burns.
Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the product.
Doing so may cause re or a health hazard.
23
Cautions:
Do not use or store the product in a high-temperature location such as inside a car
under the hot sun. The product may become hot and cause burns. Doing so may also cause battery leakage or explosion, which will degrade the performance or shorten the life of the product.
Do not carry the camera around when it is attached to a tripod. Doing so may cause
an injury or an accident. Also make sure the tripod is sturdy enough to support the camera and lens.
Do not leave the product in a low-temperature environment for an extended period of
time. The product will become cold and may cause injury when touched.
Do not re the ash near the eyes. It may hurt the eyes.
Follow the cautions below. Otherwise, physical injury or property damage may result.

This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to
physical shock.
The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you
accidentally drop the camera into water, promptly consult the nearest Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry and clean cloth. If the camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a clean, well-wrung wet cloth.
Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic eld
such as a magnet or electric motor. Also, avoid using or leaving the camera near anything emitting strong radio waves, such as a large antenna. Strong magnetic elds can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data.
Do not leave the camera in excessive heat, such as in a car in direct
sunlight. High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.
The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to
disassemble the camera yourself.
Do not block the mirror operation with your nger, etc. Doing so may
cause a malfunction.
Use only a commercially-available blower to blow away dust when it
adheres to the lens, viewnder, reex mirror, focusing screen, etc. Do not use cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, take the camera to the nearest Canon Service Center.
Do not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your ngers. This is
to prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause camera malfunction.
If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room,
condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent condensation, rst put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.
If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is
to avoid damaging the camera. If there is condensation, remove the lens, card and battery from the camera, and wait until condensation has evaporated before using the camera.
25
If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the
battery and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while the camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a while to check that the camera is still working.
Avoid storing the camera where there are chemicals that result in rust
and corrosion such as in a chemical lab.
If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its
functions before using it. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is an important shoot such as a foreign trip coming up, have the camera checked by your nearest Canon Service Center or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.
If you repeat continuous shooting or perform Live View shooting or
movie shooting for a prolonged period, the camera may become hot. This is not a malfunction.
If there is a bright light source inside or outside the image area,
ghosting may occur.
LCD Monitor
Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision
technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, 0.01% or fewer of the pixels may be dead, and there may also be spots of black, red, or other colors. Dead pixels are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images
recorded.
If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may
occur where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days.
The LCD monitor display may seem slightly slow in low temperatures,
or look black in high temperatures. It will return to normal at room temperature.
Cards
To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:
Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force,
physical shock, or vibration.
Do not touch the card’s electronic contacts with your ngers or anything
metallic.
Do not afx any stickers, etc. on the card.
26
Do not store or use the card near anything that has a strong magnetic
(1)
eld, such as a TV set, speakers, or magnets. Also avoid places prone to having static electricity.
Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Store the card in a case. Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
Smudges Adhering to the Front of the Sensor
Besides dust entering the camera from outside, in rare cases, lubricant from the camera’s internal parts may adhere to the front of the sensor. If smudges are visible on the images, having the sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is recommended.
Lens
After detaching the lens from the camera, put down the lens with the rear end up and attach the rear lens cap to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts (1).
