Safety Precautions

The following precautions are provided to prevent harm or injury to yourself and others. Make sure to thoroughly understand and follow these precautions before using the product.

If you experience any malfunctions, problems, or damage to the product, contact the nearest Canon Service Center or the dealer from whom you purchased the product.

Warnings

 To prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, explosions, and electrical shock,

follow the safeguards below:

• Do not use any batteries, power sources, or accessories not specified in the Instruction Manual. Do not use any home-made or modified batteries.

• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery. Do not apply heat or solder to the battery. Do not expose the battery to fire or water. Do not subject the battery to strong physical shock.

• Do not insert the battery’s plus and minus ends incorrectly.

• Do not recharge the battery in temperatures outside the allowable ambient temperature range. Also, do not exceed the recharging time indicated in the Instruction Manual.

• Do not insert any foreign metallic objects into the electrical contacts of the camera, accessories, connecting cables, etc.

 When disposing of a battery, insulate the electrical contacts with tape to prevent

contact with other metallic objects or batteries. This is to prevent a fire or an explosion.

 If excessive heat, smoke, or fumes are emitted when recharging the battery,

immediately unplug the battery charger from the power outlet to stop recharging. Otherwise, it may cause a fire, heat damage, or electrical shock.

 If the battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or fumes, remove it

immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process. It may cause a fire, electrical shock or skin burn if you keep using it.

 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.

 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 hold the camera in the same position for long periods of time. Even if the

camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same body part may cause skin redness, blistering or low-temperature contact burns. Using a tripod is recommended for people with circulation problems or very sensitive skin, or when using the camera in very hot places.

 Do not fire the flash at anyone driving a car or other vehicle. It may cause an

accident.

Follow the warnings below. Otherwise, death or serious injuries may result.

Safety Precautions

 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/3.3 feet away.

 When the camera or accessories are not in use, make sure to remove the battery and

disconnect the power plug from the equipment before storing. This is to prevent electrical shock, excessive heat, fire, or corrosion.



Do not use the equipment where there is flammable gas. This is to prevent an explosion or a fire.

 If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts, do

not touch the internal parts. There is a possibility of an 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 equipment out of the reach of children and infants, including when in use. Straps or cords may accidentally cause choking, electrical shock, or injury. Choking or injury may also occur if a child or infant accidentally swallows a camera part or accessory. If a child or infant swallows a part or accessory, consult a physician immediately.

 Do not use or store the equipment in dusty or humid places. Likewise, store the

battery with its protective cover attached to prevent short-circuit. This is to prevent a fire, excessive heat, electrical shock, or burn.

 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 a 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 wire is broken or insulation is damaged.

 Unplug the power plug periodically and clean off the dust around the power outlet with

a dry cloth. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power outlet may become moist and short-circuit the outlet, causing a fire.



Do not connect the battery directly to an electrical outlet or a car’s cigarette lighter outlet. The battery may leak, generate excessive heat or explode, causing a fire, burns or injuries.

 A thorough explanation of how to use the product by an adult is required when the

product is used by children. Supervise children while they are using the product. Incorrect usage may result in electrical shock or injury.

 Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera in 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 product with a cloth. Doing so may trap heat within and

cause the casing to deform or catch fire.

 Be careful not to get the camera wet. If you drop the product in the water or if water or

metal get inside the product, promptly remove the battery. This is to prevent a fire and an electrical shock.

 Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the product.

Doing so may cause fire or a health hazard.

Safety Precautions

Cautions

 Do not use or store the product inside a car under the hot sun or near a heat source.

The product may become hot and cause skin burns. Doing so may also cause battery leakage or explosion, which will degrade the performance or shorten the life of the product.

 Do not carry the camera around when 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 the product in a low-temperature environment for an extended period of

time. The product will become cold and may cause injury when touched.

 Never play the provided CD-ROM in a drive that is not compatible with the CD-ROM.

If you use it in a music CD player, you may damage the speakers and other components. When using headphones, there is also a risk of injury to your ears from excessively loud volume.

Follow the cautions below. Otherwise, physical injury or property damage may result.

Handling Precautions

Camera Care

 This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical

shock.

 The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you

accidentally drop the camera into water, promptly consult the nearest Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry and clean cloth. If the camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a well-wrung wet cloth.

 Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field such

as a magnet or electric motor. Also avoid using or leaving the camera near anything emitting strong radio waves, such as a large antenna. Strong magnetic fields can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data.

 Do not leave the camera in excessive heat, such as in a car in direct

sunlight. High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.

 The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to

disassemble the camera yourself.

 Do not block the built-in flash, mirror operation with your finger, etc. Doing so

may cause a malfunction.

 Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirror, and

focusing screen. Do not use cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, take the camera to the nearest Canon Service Center.

 Do not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your fingers. This is to

prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause camera misoperation.

 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 and let it adjust to the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.

 If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid

damaging the camera. If there is condensation, remove the lens, card and battery from the camera, and wait until condensation has evaporated before using the camera.

 If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery

and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while the camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a while to check that the camera is still working.

Handling Precautions

 Avoid storing the camera where there are chemicals that result in rust and

corrosion such as in a chemical lab.

 If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions

before using it. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is an important shoot such as a foreign trip coming up, have the camera checked by your nearest Canon Service Center or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.

 If you use continuous shooting, Live View shooting, or movie shooting for a

prolonged period, the camera may become hot. This is not a malfunction.

 If there is a bright light source inside or outside the image area, ghosting

may occur.

LCD Panel and LCD Monitor

 Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision

technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there may be a few dead pixels displaying only black or red, etc. among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded.

 If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur

where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days.

 The LCD monitor display may seem slow in low temperatures, or look black

in high temperatures. It will return to normal at room temperature.

Cards

To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:

 Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force,

physical shock, or vibration.

 Do not touch the card’s electronic contacts with your fingers or anything

metallic.

 Do not affix any stickers, etc., on the card.  Do not store or use the card near anything that has a strong magnetic field,

such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places prone to having static electricity.

 Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source.  Store the card in a case.  Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.

Handling Precautions

Contacts

Smudges Adhering to the Front of the Sensor

Besides dust entering the camera from outside, in rare cases lubricant from the camera’s internal parts may adhere to the front of the sensor. If visible spots remain on the image, having the sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is recommended.

Lens

After detaching the lens from the camera, put down the lens with the rear end up and attach the rear lens cap to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.
