Safety Precautions
• Before using the camera, please ensure that you have read and understood the safety
precautions described below. 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.
• In the next few pages, the term “equipment” refers primarily to the camera and its power
supply accessories.
Warnings
• Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or at other intense light sources that could injure
your eyesight.
• Do not trigger the optional flash in close proximity to human or animal eyes. Exposure to the
intense light produced by the flash may injure eyesight. In particular, remain at least one meter
(39 inches) away from infants when using the flash.
• Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. Accidental damage to the
camera or batteries by a child could result in serious injury. In addition, placement of the strap
around the child’s neck could result in suffocation.
• Be particularly careful to keep the button batteries (CR 2025 lithium) used in the camera out of
the reach of children. Seek medical assistance immediately if a child swallows a battery.
• Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzene or thinners or other flammable substances
8
on the equipment. The use of these substances may lead to fire or electrical shock.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is not expressly
prescribed in this guide. Disassembly or alteration may result in high-voltage electrical shock.
Internal inspections, alterations and repairs should be conducted by qualified service personnel
authorized by your camera distributor or a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
• Stop operating the equipment immediately if it should emit smoke or noxious fumes. Failure to
do so may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately shut off the camera’s power switch and
remove the camera battery or unplug the power adapter cord from the electrical outlet.
Confirm that smoke or fume emissions cease. Please consult your camera distributor or the

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
Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water
droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces. You can avoid this by placing the equipment in
a plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.
If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera
Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation. Continued use may damage the
equipment. Remove the CF card, batteries and power adapter cord from the camera and wait
until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.
Extended Storage
When not using the camera for extended periods of time, remove the batteries (except the button
CR2025 lithium battery) and store the equipment in a safe place. Storing the camera for extended
12
periods with the batteries installed will run down the battery and may damage the camera.

• Repeatedly charging the battery pack
before it is fully discharged will lower
the battery capacity. Restore its capacity
by running it through the refresh cycle.
• Battery packs that have been unused
for periods over one year may initially
have a diminished capacity even when
fully charged. Restore the capacity by
running it through the refresh cycle.
