Handling Precautions
Camera Care
_ This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical
shock.
_ The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you
accidentally drop the camera into water, promptly consult your nearest
Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the
camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a well-wrung wet cloth.
_ Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field 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 fields can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data.
_ Do not leave the camera in excessive heat such as in a car in direct
sunlight. High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.
_ The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to
disassemble the camera yourself.
_ Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirror, and
focusing screen. 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.
_ Do not touch the camera's electrical contacts with your fingers. This is to
prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause camera
misoperation.
_ If 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, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to
the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.
_ If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to
avoid damaging the camera. If there is condensation, remove the lens, card
and battery from the camera, and wait until the condensation has
evaporated before using the camera.
_ If 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.
_ Avoid storing the camera where there are corrosive chemicals such as a
darkroom or chemical lab.
_ If 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 coming up, have the camera checked by your Canon
dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.
14
Handling Precautions
LCD Monitor
® Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision
technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there might be a few dead
pixels among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying
only black or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images
recorded.
® If the LCD monitor 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.
® In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow or it
might look black. It will return to normal at room temperature.
Cards
To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:
® Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force,
physical shock, or vibration.
® Do not touch the card's electronic contacts with your fingers or anything
metallic.
® Do not store or use the card near anything having a strong magnetic field
such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places prone to having
static electricity.
® Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
® Store the card in a case.
® Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
Lens
After detaching the lens from the camera, attach the lens Contacts
caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid
scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.
Cautions During Prolonged Use
If you use continuous shooting, Live View shooting, or
movie shooting for a prolonged period, the camera may
become hot. Although this is not a malfunction, holding the
hot camera for a long period can cause slight skin burns.
About smudges adhering to the front of the sensor
Besides dust entering the camera from outside, in rare cases lubricant from the
camera's internal parts may adhere to the front of the sensor. In case visible
spots still remain after the automatic sensor cleaning, having the sensor cleaned
by a Canon Service Center is recommended.

its power.
®_After recharging the battery, detach it and unplug the charger
from the power outlet.
®_When not using the camera, remove the battery.
If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small
amount of power current is released, resulting in excess discharge
and shorter battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover
(provided) attached. Storing the battery after it is fully charged can
lower the battery's performance.
®_The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.
The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/
60 Hz power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available
plug adapter for the respective country or region. Do not attach any
portable voltage transformer to the battery charger. Doing so can
damage the battery charger.
_ If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully
charged, the battery has reached the end of its service life.
