Preventing Malfunctions
Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields
Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other equipment generating strongelectromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.
Avoid Condensation Related Problems
Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (waterdroplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces. You can avoid this by placing the equipment in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.
If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera
Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation.Continued use may damage the equipment. Remove the CF card and battery or power cord (if connected) from the camera and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.
Extended Storage
When not using the camera for extended periods of time, remove the batteries from the camera or battery charger and store the equipment in a safe place. Storing the camera for extended periods with batteries installed will run down the battery and may damage the camera.

15
Preparing the Camera
zWhen the indicator next to the viewfinder
blinks green, the camera is writing, reading, erasing, or transmitting an image to or from the CF card. Do not perform the following operations as recorded images may be damaged as a result.
• Turn the camera off
• Open the CF card slot/battery cover
• Shake the camera
zYou are recommended to use CF cards
that have been formatted in your camera(p. 18). The card supplied with the camera may be used without further formatting.
zWe recommend that you use the
separately sold AC Adapter Kit ACK800 to power the camera during long usage sessions (p. 109).
zThe separately sold battery charger kit
lets you use rechargeable NiMHbatteries to power the camera (p. 106).
zSeeBattery Performance (p. 114).
16
zFor information about the Battery and
Charger Kit and AA-size rechargeable NiMH batteries, see the System Map(separate from this guide).
zSeeCF Cards and Estimated Capacities
(Recordable Images) (p. 114).
Proper Battery Handling
zUse AA-size alkaline or Canon AA-size NiMH
batteries (sold separately) only. For information on handling the AA-size rechargeable NiMH batteries, see Using the Power Kits (Sold Separately) (p. 106).
zNever use manganese or lithium batteries, as
these battery types may overheat in the camera.
zSince the performance of alkaline batteries
may differ according to brand, the operating time of the batteries you purchase may not be as long as the batteries that came with the camera.
Preparing the Camera
zCamera operating time may shorten at low
temperatures when alkaline batteries are used. Also due to their specifications, alkaline batteries may expire faster than NiMH batteries. If you are using the camera in cold areas or for a long time, we recommend using Canon AA-size NiMH Battery Kit NB4-200 (a 4-battery Kit).
zWhile it is possible to use AA-size nickel-
cadmium batteries, performance is unreliable and their use is not recommended.
zNever mix unused and partially used
batteries. Always load two fresh (or fully recharged) batteries at the same time.
zBe careful to load the batteries with their
positive (+) and negative (-) ends in the rightdirection.
zNever mix batteries of different types or from
different manufacturers. Both batteriesshould be identical.
zBefore inserting the batteries, wipe the battery
terminals well with a dry cloth. Oil from one's skin or other dirt may cause a considerable reduction in the number of recordable images or reduced usage time.
z
Battery performance deteriorates at low temperatures (especially with alkaline batteries).
If you are using the camera in cold areas andbatteries arerunning down faster than they should, you may be able to restoreperformance by placing batteries in aninner pocket towarmthem upprior touse. But be careful that you don'tput the batteries into a pocket together with a metal key chain or other metallic objects, as these objects may cause batteries to short-circuit.
zIf you do not plan to use the camera for a long
time, remove the batteries from the camera and store them in a safe place. Batteries may leak and damage the camera if left installed during prolonged periods of non-use.
WARNINGS
Never use damaged batteries or batteries whose outer seal is completely or partially missing or peeled off, as there is risk that such batteries may leak, overheat, or burst. Always check the seals on store-bought batteries before loading them, as some batteries may come with defective seals. Do not use batteries with defective seals.
17
Preparing the Camera
Never use batteries that look like this.
Batteries with all or part of the seal (electrical insulation sheath) peeled off.
The positive electrode (plus terminal) is flat.
The negative terminal is correctly formed (protruding from the metal base), but the seal does not extend up over the edge of the metal base.
