- Do not use any batteries, power sources, and accessories not specified in this
booklet. Do not use any home-made or modified batteries.
- Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery pack or back-up battery. Do
not apply heat or apply solder to the battery pack or back-up battery. Do not expose the battery pack or back-up battery to fire or water. And do not subject the battery pack or back-up battery to strong physical shock.
- Do not install the battery pack or back-up battery in reversed polarity (+
mix new and old or different types of batteries.
- Do not recharge the battery pack outside the allowable ambient temperature range
of 0˚C - 40˚C (32˚F - 104˚F). Also, do not exceed the recharging time.
- Do not insert any foreign metallic objects into the electrical contacts of the camera,
accessories, connecting cables, etc.
•Keep the back-up battery away from children. If a child swallows the battery, consult a physician immediately. (Battery chemicals may harm the stomach and intestines.)
• When disposing of a battery pack or back-up battery, insulate the electrical contacts with tape to prevent contact with other metallic objects or batteries. This is to prevent fire or an explosion.
• If excessive heat, smoke, or fumes are emitted during battery pack recharging, immediately unplug the battery charger from the power outlet to stop the recharging and prevent a fire.
• If the battery pack or back-up battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or fumes, remove it immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process.
• Prevent any battery leakage from contacting your eyes, skin, and clothing. It can cause blindness or skin problems. If the battery leakage contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing, flush the affected area with lots of clean water without rubbing it. See a physician immediately.
• During the recharging, keep the equipment away from the reach of children. The cord can accidentally choke the child or give an electrical shock.
• Do not leave any cords near a heat source. It can deform the cord or melt the insulation and cause a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not fire the flash at someone driving a car. It may cause an accident.
• Do not fire the flash near a person’s eyes. It may impair the person’s vision. When using flash to photograph an infant, keep at least 1 meter away.
• Before storing the camera or accessory when not in use, remove the battery pack and disconnect the power plug. This is to prevent electrical shock, heat generation, and fire.
• Do not use the equipment where there is flammable gas. This is to prevent an explosion or fire.
6
–
). Do not
• If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts, do not touch the internal parts due to the possibility of 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 the camera from the reach of small children. The neck strap can accidentally choke the child.
• Do not store the equipment in dusty or humid places. This is to prevent fire and electrical shock.
• 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 fire 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 insulation has been damaged.
•Occasionally unplug the power plug and use a dry cloth to clean off the dust around the power outlet. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power outlet may become moist and short-circuit the outlet to cause a fire.
Preventing Injury or Equipment Damage
• Do not leave equipment inside a car under the hot sun or near a heat source. The equipment may become hot and cause skin burns.
• Do not carry the camera around while it is attached to a tripod. Doing so may cause injury. Also make sure the tripod is sturdy enough to support the camera and lens.
• Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera under the sun without the lens cap attached. Otherwise, the lens may concentrate the sun’s rays and cause a fire.
• Do not cover or wrap the battery-recharging apparatus with a cloth. Doing so may trap heat within and cause the casing to deform or catch fire.
• If you drop the camera in water or if water or metal fragments enter inside the camera, promptly remove the battery pack and back-up battery. This is to prevent fire and electrical shock.
• Do not use or leave the battery pack or back-up battery in a hot environment. Doing so may cause battery leakage or a shorter battery life. The battery pack or back-up battery can also become hot and cause skin burns.
• Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the equipment. Doing so may cause fire or a health hazard.
If the product does not work properly or requires repair, contact your dealer or your nearest Canon Service Center.

Handling Precautions
The Camera
This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or expose it to physical shock.
•
The camera is not waterproof and should not be used in wet conditions or underwater.
•
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 the camera is exposed to salty air, wipe it thoroughly with a slightly damp cloth. Never leave the camera close to devices that generate strong magnetic fields, such
•
as magnets or electric motors. Do not operate or leave the camera in areas where strong electromagnetic signals are generated, such as near electronic transmission towers. Exposing the camera to strong electromagnetic signals can cause it to malfunction and destroy recorded image data. Do not leave the camera in hot locations, such as in a car sitting in direct sunlight.
•
High temperatures can damage the camera. The camera contains precision circuits. Never attempt to disassemble the camera or
•
service it yourself. Use a commercially available blower brush to remove any dust that accumulates on
•
the camera lens, viewfinder, mirror, or focusing screen. Do not use cleaners that contain organic solvents to wipe off the camera body or lens. If the camera is very soiled, consult your nearest Canon dealer. Do not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your hands. Doing so could
•
corrode the contacts and interfere with the camera’s normal operation. 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, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag. Let the camera adjust to the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag. Do not use the camera if condensation forms on it, or you could damage it. If this
•
occurs, remove the lens, CF card and battery from the camera, and wait until the condensation has evaporated before using the camera. If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove its battery and store
•
the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. While the camera is in storage, operate its shutter periodically to make sure that it is working. Avoid storing the camera in locations where potentially corrosive chemicals are
•
used, such as in a laboratory. If the camera has been in storage for an extended period, check its components
•
before using it. 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 Panel and LCD Monitor
The LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision technology. However,
•
there may be a few dead pixels where a black or red pixel is always displayed. They number no more than 0.01 percent of all effective pixels. They are not a malfunction and do not affect the images recorded.
8
Handling Precautions
Do not press hard on an LCD display or subject it to impacts, as this can cause
•
display flaws and damage. If an LCD display becomes soiled, clean it with a commercially available blower
•
brush, or wipe it with a soft cloth, taking care not to scratch the screen. If an LCD display becomes extremely soiled, consult your nearest Canon dealer. 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.
Lithium Battery for the Date and Time
Store lithium batteries out of reach of small children. The chemicals in these
•
batteries are very dangerous if the battery is accidentally swallowed. If this happens, seek medical attention at once. Do not use metal instruments such as pliers to hold the battery, or you could cause a
•
short circuit. Do not disassemble or heat the battery, or you could rupture it.
•
CF Card
The CF card is a precision device. Do not drop CF cards or expose them to
•
vibrations. Doing so could lose the images recorded on them. Do not store or use CF cards near objects that generate magnetic fields, such as
•
TVs, speakers, or magnets, or in locations affected by static electricity. Doing so could lose the images recorded on the CF card. Do not place CF cards in direct sunlight or close to heating appliances. Doing so can
•
distort the cards and make them unusable. Do not spill liquids onto CF cards.
•
Always store your CF cards in a case or cabinet to protect the data stored on them.
•
Non-Canon CF cards may not be able to record and playback images. If this
•
happens, use a CF card made by Canon. Do not bend CF cards, or subject them to strong impacts.
•
Do not store CF cards in hot, dusty, or humid locations, or in locations exposed to
•
static electricity or magnetic fields.
Lens Electrical Contacts
After detaching the lens from the camera, attach the lens caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.

Recharging the Battery
Do not recharge any battery pack other than Battery Pack BP-511 or
•
BP-512.
If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period without the
•
camera being used, a low electrical current may be discharged excessively and the battery’s service life may be affected. When not using the camera, remove the battery and attach the protective cover to prevent shorting. Before using the camera again, be sure to recharge the battery.
After the red lamp lights, continue to recharge the battery for an
•
hour to attain a full charge.
After recharging the battery, detach it and unplug the power cord from
•
the power outlet. The time required to recharge the battery depends on the ambient
•
temperature and battery’s power level. The battery pack can operate in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to
•
104°F), however for full operating performance, use between 10°C (50°F) and 30°C (86°F) is recommended. In cold locations such as ski areas, battery performance is temporarily decreased and operating time may be reduced. If operating time is sharply reduced even after charging normally, the
•
battery pack may have exceeded its useful life. Replace it with a new battery pack.
