Page 22

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 the camera gets wet,

contact a Canon Service Center immediately. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry and

clean cloth. If the camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a clean, 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

malfunction 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 shutter curtain operation with your finger or other objects. Doing so may

cause a malfunction.

Only use a commercially available blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, or

other parts. 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 malfunction.

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, to avoid damage, do not use the camera or

remove the lens, card, or battery. Turn the camera off and wait until the moisture has

fully evaporated before resuming use. Even after the camera is completely dry, if it is still

internally cold, do not remove the lens, card, or battery until the camera has adjusted to

the ambient temperature.

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.

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.

The camera may become hot after repeated continuous shooting or still photo/movie

shooting over an extended period. This is not a malfunction.

If there is a bright light source inside or outside the image area, ghosting may occur.

When shooting with backlighting, keep the sun sufficiently away from the angle of view.

Always keep intense light sources such as the sun, lasers, and other intense artificial

light sources out of the image area and not near it. Concentrated intense light may

cause smoke or damage the image sensor or other internal components.

Page 23

Attach the lens cap to prevent direct sunlight and other light from entering the lens when

you are not shooting.

Page 24

Screen and viewfinder

The following does not affect images captured by the camera.

Although the screen and viewfinder are manufactured with very high precision

technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, 0.01% or fewer of the pixels may be dead,

and there may also be spots of black, red, or other colors. This is not a malfunction.

If the screen 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 screen display may seem slightly slow in low temperatures or may look black in

high temperatures, but 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

television, speakers, or magnets. 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.

Cards may become hot after long sessions of repeated continuous shooting or still photo

shooting/movie recording. This is not a malfunction.

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

(1).

Page 25

Smudges on the image sensor

You can use a commercially available blower to remove dust or debris on the image

sensor that appears in images.

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 smudges are visible on images, have the sensor cleaned by a nearest Canon Service

Center.

Page 39

Charging the Battery

Detach the protective cover provided with the battery.

Fully insert the battery into the charger.

Do the opposite to remove the battery.

Page 40

Charge the battery.

Flip out the charger prongs as shown and plug the charger into a power outlet.

Charging starts automatically and the charge lamp (1) lights up in orange. When the battery is fully charged, the full-charge lamp (2) will light up in green.

Charging a depleted battery takes approx. 2 hr. at room temperature (23°C/73°F).

The time required to charge the battery will vary greatly depending on the ambient temperature and the battery's remaining capacity. For safety, charging in low temperatures (5–10°C/41–50°F) takes longer (up to approx. 4 hr.).

Upon purchase, the battery is not fully charged.

Charge the battery before use.

Charge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be used.

Charged batteries gradually lose their charge, even when they are not used.

After charging the battery, remove it and disconnect the charger from the power

outlet.

When not using the camera, remove the battery.

If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small amount of power

current will keep being released, resulting in excess discharge and shorter battery life.

Store the battery with the protective cover attached. Storing the battery when it is fully

charged may lower the battery performance.

Page 41

The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.

The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/60 Hz power source.

If necessary, attach a commercially available plug adapter for the respective country or

region. Do not attach any portable voltage transformer to the battery charger. Doing so

may damage the battery charger.

If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after having been fully charged,

the battery has reached the end of its service life.

Purchase a new battery.

Caution

After disconnecting the charger's power plug, do not touch the prongs for approx. 5 sec. The provided charger cannot charge any battery other than Battery Pack LP-E17.

Page 42
