Handling Precautions
Please Read
Test Shots
Before you try to photograph important subjects, we highly
recommend that you shoot several trial images to confirm that the
camera is operating and being operated correctly.
Please note that Canon Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliates, and its
distributors are not liable for any consequential damages arising
from any malfunction of a camera or accessory, including memory
cards, that results in the failure of an image to be recorded or to be
recorded in a way that is machine readable.
Warning Against Copyright Infringement
Please note that Canon digital cameras are intended for personal
use and should never be used in a manner that infringes upon or
contravenes international or domestic copyright laws and
regulations. Please be advised that in certain cases the copying of
images from performances, exhibitions, or commercial properties
by means of a camera or other device may contravene copyright or
other legal rights even if the image was shot for personal use.
Warranty Limitations
For information on your camera's warranty, please refer to the
Canon European Warranty System (EWS) Booklet supplied with
your camera.
For Canon Customer Support contacts, please see rear of the
European Warranty System (EWS) Booklet.
5
Camera Body Temperature
If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body
may become warm. Please be aware of this and take care when
operating the camera for an extended period.
About the LCD Monitor
The LCD monitor is produced with extremely high-precision
manufacturing techniques. More than 99.99% of the pixels
operate to specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may
occasionally misfire or appear as red or black dots. This has no
effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a
malfunction.
Video Format
Please set the camera's video signal format to the one used in your
region before using it with a TV monitor (p. 97).
Language Setting
Please see the Basic Guide (p. 11) to change the language setting.
Safety Precautions
Before using the camera, please ensure that you read the safety
precautions described below and in the "Safety Precautions"
section of the Basic Camera User Guide. Always ensure that the
camera is operated correctly.
The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended
to instruct you in the safe and correct operation of the camera and
its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to yourself, other
persons and equipment. Be sure you fully understand them before
reading the rest of the manual.

intense light sources that could damage your eyesight.
Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants.
• Wrist strap: Placement of the strap around the child's neck could
result in asphyxiation.
• Memory card: Dangerous if accidentally swallowed. If this
occurs, contact a doctor immediately.
Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the
equipment that is not expressly described in this guide.
To avoid the risk of high-voltage electrical shock, do not
touch the flash portion of the camera if it has been damaged.
Stop operating the equipment immediately if it emits smoke
or noxious fumes.
Do not allow the equipment to come into contact with, or
become immersed in, water or other liquids. If the exterior
comes into contact with liquids or salt air, wipe it dry with a
soft, absorbent cloth.
Continued use of the equipment may result in fire or electrical
shock. Immediately turn the camera power off and remove the
camera battery or unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
Please consult your camera distributor or the closest Canon
Customer Support Help Desk.
Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzine,
thinners or other flammable substances to clean or
maintain the equipment.
Do not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power cord.
Use only recommended power accessories.
Remove the power cord on a regular periodic basis and
wipe away the dust and dirt that collects on the plug, the
exterior of the power outlet and the surrounding area.
Do not handle the power cord if your hands are wet.
Continued use of the equipment may result in fire or electrical
shock.
7
Battery
Do not place the battery near a heat source or expose it to
direct flame or heat.
The battery should not be immersed in water or sea water.
Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the
battery.
Avoid dropping or subjecting the battery to severe impacts
that could damage the casing.
Use only recommended battery and accessories.
Use of battery not expressly recommended for this equipment
may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and
damage to the surroundings. In the event that a battery leaks and
the eyes, mouth, skin or clothing contact these substances,
immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance.
Disconnect the compact power adapter from both the
camera station and the power outlet, or disconnect the
battery charger from the power outlet after recharging or
when not in use to avoid fire and other hazards.
Do not place anything, such as tablecloths, carpets,
bedding or cushions, on top of the equipment while it is
charging.
Continued use over a long period may cause the units to overheat
and distort, resulting in fire.
Use only the specified compact power adapter and battery
charger to charge the battery.
The compact power adapter and battery charger are
designed for exclusive use with your camera. Do not use it
with other products or batteries.
There is a risk of overheating and distortion which could result in
fire or electrical shock.
Before you discard a battery, cover the terminals with tape
or other insulators to prevent direct contact with other
objects.
Contact with the metallic components of other materials in waste
containers may lead to fire or explosions.
8
Others
Do not trigger the flash in close proximity to human or
animal eyes. Exposure to the intense light produced by the
flash may damage eyesight.
In particular, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away from
infants when using the flash.
Keep objects that are sensitive to magnetic fields (such as
credit cards) away from the speaker of the camera.
Such items may lose data or stop working.
Cautions
Equipment
Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong
impacts or shocks that could lead to injury or damage the
equipment when wearing or holding it by the strap.
Do not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas.
Do not allow metal objects (such as pins or keys) or dirt to
contact the charger terminals or plug.
Such conditions could lead to fire, electrical shock or other
damage.
Avoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places
subject to strong sunlight or high temperatures, such as the
dashboard or trunk (boot) of a car.
Do not use the equipment in a manner that exceeds the
rated capacity of the electrical outlet or wiring accessories.
Do not use if the power cord or plug are damaged, or if not
fully plugged into the outlet.
Do not use in locations with poor ventilation.
The above-mentioned can cause leakage, overheating or
explosion, resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High
temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing.
When not using the camera for extended periods of time,
remove the battery from the camera or battery charger and
store the equipment in a safe place.
The battery can run down.
9
Equipment
Do not connect compact power adapters or battery
chargers to devices such as electrical transformers for
foreign travel because it may lead to malfunctions,
excessive heat generation, fire, electric shock or injury.
Flash
Do not operate the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck
to the surface of the flash.
Be careful not to cover the flash with your fingers or
clothing when shooting.
The flash may be damaged and emit smoke or noise. The
resulting heat build-up could damage the flash.
Do not touch the surface of the flash after taking several
pictures in rapid succession.
Doing so could result in burns.
10
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
When moving the equipment rapidly from a cold place to a
hot place, you can avoid condensation by placing the
equipment in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it
adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it
from the bag.
Moving the equipment rapidly from a cold place to a hot place may
cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its external and
internal surfaces.
If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera
Stop using the camera immediately.
Continued use may damage the equipment. Remove the memory
card and battery or compact power adapter from the camera and
wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming
use.
