zThis camera is designed to be dust- and drip- resistant, in order to help
prevent sand, dust, dirt, or water that falls on it unexpectedly from getting
inside, but it is impossible to prevent dirt, dust, water, or salt from getting
inside at all. As far as possible, do not allow dirt, dust, water, or salt to get
on the camera.
zIf water gets on the camera, wipe it off with a dry and clean cloth. If dirt,
dust, or salt gets on the camera, wipe it off with a clean, well-wrung wet
cloth.
zUsing the camera in a location with large amounts of dirt or dust may
cause a malfunction.
zCleaning the camera after use is recommended. Allowing dirt, dust, water,
or salt to remain on the camera may cause a malfunction.
zIf you accidentally drop the camera into water or are concerned that
moisture (water), dirt, dust, or salt may have gotten inside it, promptly
consult the nearest Canon Service Center.
zNever leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic eld
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 elds can cause camera malfunction or destroy
image data.
zDo not leave the camera in excessive heat, such as in a car in direct
sunlight. High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.
zThe camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to
disassemble the camera yourself.

Handling Precautions
zDo not block shutter curtain operation with your nger or other objects.
Doing so may cause a malfunction.
zUse only a commercially available blower to blow away dust when it
adheres to the lens, viewnder, etc. 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.
zDo not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your ngers. This is
to prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause
camera malfunction.
zIf 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, rst put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust
to the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.
zIf 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.
zIf 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.
zAvoid storing the camera where there are chemicals that result in rust
and corrosion such as in a chemical lab.
zIf 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.
zThe camera may become hot after repeated continuous shooting or still
photo/movie shooting over an extended period. This is not a malfunction.
zIf there is a bright light source inside or outside the image area, ghosting
may occur.

Handling Precautions
(1)
Screen and Viewnder
zAlthough the screen and viewnder 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. They do not affect the images
recorded.
zIf 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.
zThe screen display may seem slightly slow in low temperatures or
may 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:
zDo not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force,
physical shock, or vibration.
zDo not touch the card’s electronic contacts with your ngers or anything
metallic.
zDo not afx any stickers, etc. on the card.
zDo not store or use the card near anything that has a strong magnetic
eld, such as a television, speakers, or magnets. Also avoid places prone
to having static electricity.
zDo not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
zStore the card in a case.
zDo not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
Lens
zAfter 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).
