Keep the camera out of sait spray and excessive humidity. If used at the beach, clean it thoroughly afterward with a dry cloth.

3.Do not attempt to disassemble the camera yourself, since there is high-voltage circuitry inside.

4.The battery may explode or cause burns if disassembled, recharged, shorted, exposed to high temperatures, or disposed of in a fire.

5.Use a blower brush to remove dust and sand from the lens and inside the camera. Do not apply any fluids to the lens or body. Take the camera to an authorized Canon service facility for a more thorough cleaning if necessary.

6.Film passing through X-ray examinations at an airport may be exposed and ruined even when loaded in the camera. Request a different method of inspection to avoid damage.

7.Color reproduction may be adversely affected if the film is left in the camera for a long time. Always develop exposed film promptly.

If you use the flash continuously (30 times or more) while no film is in the camera, the camera may stop to prevent the flash unit from overheating. If this happens, turn the camera off and wait a few minutes before turning it back on again.

A	ADVANCED PHOTO SYSTEM

This camera supports the new Advanced Photo System. This system, as weii as Canon’s advanced technoiogy has made it possibie to produce a camera that is smalier than any previous camera with a 3x zoom iens.

Here are some of the speciai features of this system.

[n New Film

The 1X240 new film comes in

	a compact film cartridge with	visual exposure Indicators
	no leader. This new drop-in	O Urrexpcjsed
	film can be easily loaded by	D Partial
	anyone, and replaces all
	previous hard-to-load films.	S3 Exposed
	In addition, the visual	0 Processed
	exposure indicator on the top

of the cartridge shows whether the film cartridge is unexposed, partial, exposed, or processed

H] Mid-roll Film Change

If a partially exposed film cartridge is reloaded in the camera, the camera automatically advances the film to the next unexposed frame. You can then continue taking pictures until the film cartridge is fully exposed. This allows you to use separate film cartridges for different types of subjects, or moods.

*lf a partially exposed film cartridge is loaded into in a camera that does not support mid-roll film change, the camera will set the visual exposure indicator to “Exposed” and will not load the film. Be sure to check the features of each camera.

Features

[2 New Type Prints

The Advanced Photo System allows the camera to shoot three types of prints: in addition to ciassic print types (C print), you can now shoot wide-angle (H print) and panorama (P print) prints.

The Advanced Photo System can also imprint date/time information on the back ot the print, or on the front and back of the print. The system can also imprint title text on the back of the print.

'Character size, shape, color, position, and ability to print on both sides may vary according to the individual photo shop.

Back of the print

H] New Processing Methods

Previous 135 (35mm) film has always been returned from fhe processing lab as negative strips. This has made ordering reprints inconvenient since each picture must be found on the negative strips. With the Advanced Photo System however, the negative film is returned from the certified shop reloaded in its cartridge, accompanied by an index print. Unlike hard-to-see negative strips of previous cameras, fhis index print (where all shots can be viewed) makes reviewing prints much easier. Users can now order reprints simply by matching the ID on the back of fhe print or on the index print with the ID on the film cartridge, and then specifying the print number to be reprinted at the photo shop.
