the surface of the flash after taking several pictures in rapid succession. Either action
could result in burns.
Preventing Malfunctions
Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields
Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other equipment generating
strong electromagnetic 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
(water droplets) 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 battery (except the
CR2025 lithium button battery) and store the equipment in a safe place. Storing the camera
for extended periods with a battery installed will run down the battery and may damage the
camera.
Important Safety Functions and Preventive Measures
• When the CF Card Access Lamp is blinking, do not remove the CF card from the camera.
Since the card is reading and writing data when the lamp is blinking, removal of the CF
card at this time will damage the card.
• Do not use any cable other than that supplied with the camera. Use the supplied interface
cable to connect the camera to a computer. Use of any other cable may lead to a
malfunction.

Handling Precautions
The Camera
(1) This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or expose it to physical shock.
(2) 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.
(3) 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.
(4) Do not leave the camera in hot locations, such as in a car sitting in direct sunlight. High
temperatures can damage the camera.
(5) The camera contains precision circuits. Never attempt to disassemble the camera or
service it yourself.
(6) 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.
(7) 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.
(8) 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.
(9) Do not use the camera if condensation forms on it, or you could damage it. If this occurs,
remove the CF card and battery from the camera, and wait until the condensation has
evaporated before using the camera.
(10) 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.
(11) Avoid storing the camera in locations where potentially corrosive chemicals are used,
such as in a laboratory.
(12) 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
(1) 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.
(2) Do not press hard on an LCD display or subject it to impacts, as this can cause display
flaws and damage.
10
Handling Precautions
(3) 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.
(4) 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
(1) 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.
(2) Do not use metal instruments such as pliers to hold the battery, or you could cause a short
circuit.
(3) Do not disassemble or heat the battery, or you could rupture it.
CF Card
(1) 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.
(2) 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.
(3) Do not place CF cards in direct sunlight or close to heating appliances. Doing so can
distort the cards and make them unusable.
(4) Do not spill liquids onto CF cards.
(5) Always store your CF cards in a case or cabinet to protect the data stored on them.
(6) Use only CF cards specified by Canon. Otherwise, you may be unable to record or play
back images.
(7) Do not bend CF cards, or subject them to strong impacts.
(8) Do not store CF cards in hot, dusty, or humid locations, or in locations exposed to static
electricity or magnetic fields.

Recharging the Battery
Do not recharge any battery pack other than Battery Pack BP-511 or BP-512.
•
The battery continues to discharge a low electrical current even while the camera is
•
not used. This may lead to excessive battery discharge and a shorter battery service
life.
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.
The time required to recharge the battery depends on the ambient temperature and
•
battery’s power level.
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.
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.

Shutter Button
The shutter button has two stages. You can press it down halfway or fully. The two levels of
shutter button operation are as follows:
Halfway pressing ( )
Pressing the shutter button down halfway activates
autofocusing (AF), and also activates the automatic
exposure mechanism and sets the shutter speed and
aperture value.
The exposure (the combination of shutter speed and
aperture value) appears on the LCD panel and in the
viewfinder.
Full pressing
This releases the shutter and shoots.
If you press the shutter button halfway and ( ) elapse, press it halfway again and wait a
moment before pressing it fully to shoot. If you press the shutter button fully without
pressing it halfway first or if you press the shutter button halfway and then press it fully
immediately, the camera will still take a moment before it shoots.
No matter what state the camera is in (image playback, menu operation, image
recording, etc., except during direct printing), pressing the shutter button halfway will
instantly make it ready for shooting.
