Denotes the possibility of injury or damage to the equipment.
Warnings
Camera
• Do not look through the camera viewfinder at bright light sources (the sun,
etc.).
This may damage eyesight.
• Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants.
Strap: Putting the strap around a child’s neck could result in asphyxiation. Memory card, day/date battery: Dangerous if accidentally swallowed. If this occurs, contact a doctor immediately.
• Do not trigger the flash in close proximity to human eyes.
Exposure to the intense light produced by the flash may damage eyesight. In particular, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away from infants when using the flash.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is not
expressly described in this guide.
• To avoid the risk of injury, do not touch the interior of the camera if it has been
dropped or otherwise damaged.
• Stop operating the camera immediately if it emits smoke, a strange smell, or
otherwise behaves abnormally.
• Do not allow liquids or foreign objects to enter the camera.
This could result in fire or electrical shock. If liquid or foreign objects come into contact with the camera interior, immediately turn the camera power off and remove the battery.
• Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean the
equipment.
• Use only recommended power sources.
Battery, Battery Charger
• Use only recommended batteries.
• Do not place the battery near or in direct flame.
• Do not let the battery come into contact with water (e.g. sea water) or other
liquids.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the battery.
9
Safety Precautions
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the battery to severe impacts.
This may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the surroundings. In the event that a battery leaks and the eyes, mouth, skin or clothing contacts these substances, immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance. If the battery charger becomes wet, unplug it from the outlet and consult your camera distributor or the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
• Unplug the battery charger from the power outlet after recharging is complete,
or when you are not using it.
• Do not place anything, such as cloth on top of the battery charger while it is
charging.
Leaving the unit plugged in for a long period of time may cause it to overheat and distort, resulting in fire.
• Use only the specified battery charger to charge the battery.
• Do not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power cord.
• Unplug the power cord periodically and wipe away any dust and dirt that has
collected on the plug, the exterior of the power outlet, and the surrounding area.
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
This could result in fire or electrical shock.
• Before you discard batteries, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators.
Contacting other metal materials in waste containers may lead to fire or explosions.
Cautions
• Do not aim the camera at bright light sources (the sun, etc.).
Doing so may cause malfunction or damage the image sensor (CCD).
• Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong impacts or shocks
when hanging it by the strap.
• Be careful not to bump or push strongly on the lens.
This could lead to injury or damage the camera.
• When using the camera on a beach or at a windy location, be careful not to
allow dust or sand to enter the camera.
This may cause the camera to malfunction.
• Do not use the equipment in a manner that exceeds the rated capacity of the
electrical outlet or wiring accessories. Do not use if the power cord or plug are damaged, or if not fully plugged into the outlet.
• Avoid using, placing or storing the camera in the following places.
- Places subject to strong sunlight.
- Places subject to temperatures above 40° C (104° F).
- Humid or dusty areas.
These could cause leakage, overheating or explosion, resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing.
• Do not allow dirt or metal objects (such as pins or keys) to contact the charger
terminals or plug.
This could result in fire, electrical shock or other damage.
• Do not use the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to the surface, or when
covering the flash with your fingers or clothing.
This may cause the camera to malfunction.

Display Summary
Good.
Slightly depleted, but sufficient.
(Blinking red) Nearly depleted.
“Change the battery pack.” Depleted. Recharge the battery.
Using the battery and charger effectively
• Charge the battery on the day, or the day before, it will be used.
Charged batteries continue to discharge naturally even if they are not used.
Attach the cover to a charged battery so that the S mark is visible.
• How to store the battery for long periods.
Deplete and remove the battery from the camera. Attach the terminal cover and store the battery. Storing a battery without depleting it for long periods of time (about one year) may shorten its life span or affect its performance.
• The battery charger can also be used when abroad.
The charger can be used in regions that have 100 – 240 V (50/60 Hz) AC power. If the plug does not fit the outlet, use a commercially available plug adapter. Do not use devices such as electrical transformers for foreign travel because they will cause malfunctions.
• If the battery is quickly depleted even after charging, it has reached the end of its
life span. Purchase a new battery.
