Cautions When Using this Waterproof, Dustproof, and Shock Resistant Camera

You can enjoy using this camera in the rain, on the beach, while skiing, or underwater within a depth of 10 m (33 ft.). However, it can not be used in hot springs or other mineralized waters. Please be aware that Canon is not liable for any damage to the camera, batteries, memory cards, or saved data caused by water leakage due to mistaken operation of the product. This camera is subjected to Canon standard testing. However, it is not guaranteed that this camera will not damage or malfunction. (For more information about waterproof, dustproof, and shock resistant specifications, see “Specifications” in the Getting Started guide.)

Cautions Before Using This Camera

•Before shooting with the camera, confirm that the memory card/battery cover and terminal cover (p. 5) are fully closed (pp. 18, 23). If either cover is not fully closed, water may enter the camera and damage it.

•Be sure that the waterproof seals (p. 17) inside the covers and the areas

around them are kept free from scratches and foreign objects such as sand, dirt, or hair. NotCOPYdoing so may result in leaks. If the waterproof seal is damaged, do not use the camera underwater.

•Avoid opening and closing the covers while on the beach or near water. Change memory cards and batteries in a dry place protected from sea breezes.

•Do not open the covers if the camera is wet. If there is moisture on the camera, wipe it off with a soft, dry cloth until it is completely dry.

Cautions While Using This Camera

•Do not use this camera in water deeper than 10 m (33 ft.).

•Do not expose the camera to strong impacts or shocks while underwater. Impacts could cause the covers to open or otherwise compromise the waterproof ability of the camera.

•This camera is deemed shock resistant by Canon standard testing (see “Specifications” in the Getting Started guide). However, strong impacts could scratch the camera or cause it to malfunction. Do not allow the camera to fall a great distance or expose it to excessive shocks.

•Waterproof performance is not ensured if the camera is dropped or subjected to impact.
