Preliminary Notes and Legal Information

● Take and review some test shots initially to make sure the

images were recorded correctly. Please note that Canon Inc.,

its subsidiaries and afliates, and its distributors are not liable

for any consequential damages arising from any malfunction of a camera or accessory, including memory cards, that result in the failure of an image to be recorded or to be recorded in a way that is machine readable.

● Images recorded by the camera shall be for personal use.

Refrain from unauthorized recording that infringes on copyright law, and note that even for personal use, photography may contravene copyright or other legal rights at some performances or exhibitions, or in some commercial settings.

● The camera warranty is valid only in the area of purchase. In

case of camera problems while abroad, return to the area of purchase before contacting a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

● Although the screen (monitor) is produced under extremely

high-precision manufacturing conditions and more than

99.99% of the pixels meet design specications, in rare cases

some pixels may be defective or may appear as red or black dots. This does not indicate camera damage or affect recorded images.

● When the camera is used over an extended period, it may

become warm. This does not indicate damage.

Safety Precautions

● Before using the product, ensure that you read the safety

precautions described below. Always ensure that the product is used correctly.

● The safety precautions noted here are intended to prevent

you and other persons from being injured or incurring property damage.

● Be sure to also check the guides included with any separately

sold accessories you use.

Warning

● Do not trigger the ash in close proximity to people’s eyes.

Exposure to the intense light produced by the ash could damage

eyesight. In particular, remain at least 1 meter (3.3 feet) away from

infants when using the ash.

● Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants.

A strap wound around a child’s neck may result in asphyxiation.

If your product uses a power cord, mistakenly winding the cord

around a child’s neck may result in asphyxiation.

● Use only recommended power sources.

● Do not disassemble, alter, or apply heat to the product.

● Do not peel off the adhesive covering, if the battery pack has it.

● Avoid dropping or subjecting the product to severe impacts.

● Do not touch the interior of the product if it is broken, such as

when dropped.

Denotes the possibility of serious injury or death.

ç Contents

● Stop using the product immediately if it emits smoke or a

strange smell, or otherwise behaves abnormally.

● Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or

thinner to clean the product.

● Avoid contact with liquid, and do not allow liquid or foreign

objects inside.

This could result in electrical shock or re. If the product gets wet, or if liquid or foreign objects get inside, remove the battery pack/batteries or unplug immediately.

● Do not look through the viewnder or the lens (if your model

has a viewnder or interchangeable lens) at intense light sources such as the sun on a clear day or an intense articial

light source.

This could damage your eyesight.

● For cameras with an interchangeable lens, do not leave the

camera or the lens in sunlight without the lens cap on.

This may cause re.

● Do not touch the product during thunderstorms if it is plugged

in.

This could result in electrical shock or re. Immediately stop using

the product and distance yourself from it.

● Use only the recommended battery pack/batteries.

● Do not place the battery pack/batteries near or in direct ame.

This may cause the battery pack/batteries to explode or leak,

resulting in electrical shock, re, or injuries. If leaking battery

electrolyte comes into contact with eyes, mouth, skin, or clothing,

immediately ush with water.

22

ç Contents

● If the product uses a battery charger, note the following

precautions.

- Remove the plug periodically and, using a dry cloth, wipe

away any dust and dirt that has collected on the plug, the exterior of the power outlet, and the surrounding area.

- Do not insert or remove the plug with wet hands.

- 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 plug is damaged or not fully inserted in the outlet.

- Do not allow dust or metal objects (such as pins or keys) to

contact the terminals or plug.

- Do not cut, damage, alter, or place heavy items on the power

cord, if your product uses one.

This could result in electrical shock or re.

● Turn the camera off in places where camera use is prohibited.

The electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the operation of electronic instruments and other devices. Exercise adequate caution when using the product in places where use of electronic devices is restricted, such as inside airplanes and medical facilities.

● Do not allow the camera to maintain contact with skin for

extended periods. Even if the camera does not feel hot, this may cause lowtemperature burns, manifested in redness of the skin or blistering. Use a tripod in hot places, or if you have poor circulation or insensitive skin.

23

ç Contents

24

Caution

● When carrying the product by the strap, be careful not to bang

it, subject it to strong impacts or shocks, or let it get caught on other objects.

● Be careful not to bump or push strongly on the lens.

This could lead to injury or damage the camera.

● Be careful not to give strong impact on the screen.

If the screen cracks, injury may result from the broken fragments.

● When using the ash, be careful not to cover it with your

ngers or clothing.

This could result in burns or damage to the ash.

● Avoid using, placing, or storing the product in the following places:

- Places subject to direct sunlight

- Places subject to temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F)

- Humid or dusty places

These could cause leakage, overheating, or an explosion of the

battery pack/batteries, resulting in electrical shock, re, burns, or

other injuries.

Overheating and damage may result in electrical shock, re,

burns, or other injuries.

● The slideshow transition effects may cause discomfort when

viewed for prolonged periods.

● When using optional lenses, lens lters, or lter adapters (if

applicable), be sure to attach these accessories rmly.

If the lens accessory becomes loose and falls off, it may crack, and the shards of glass may lead to cuts.

Denotes the possibility of injury.

ç Contents

● On products that raise and lower the ash automatically, make

sure to avoid pinching your ngers with the lowering ash.

This could result in injury.
