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 affiliates, 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 are intended 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 LCD monitor is produced under extremely highprecision manufacturing conditions and more than 99.99% of the pixels meet design specifications, 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.
•The LCD monitor may be covered with a thin plastic film for protection against scratches during shipment. If covered, remove the film before using the camera.
•When the camera is used over an extended period, it may become warm. This does not indicate damage.

•Be sure to also check the guides included with any separately sold accessories you use.
Warning Denotes the possibility of serious injury or death.
•Do not trigger the flash in close proximity to people’s eyes.
Exposure to the intense light produced by the flash could damage eyesight. In particular, remain at least 1 meter (39 inches) away from infants when using the flash.
•Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants.
Strap: Putting the strap around a child’s neck could result in asphyxiation.
•Use only recommended power sources.
•Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the product.
•Avoid dropping or subjecting the product to severe impacts.
•To avoid the risk of injury, do not touch the interior of the product if it has been dropped or otherwise damaged.
•Stop using the product immediately if it emits smoke, a strange smell, or otherwise behaves abnormally.
•Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean the product.
•Do not let the product come into contact with water (e.g. sea water) or other liquids.
çContents |
13 |
• Do not allow liquids or foreign objects to enter the camera.
This could result in electrical shock or fire.
If liquids or foreign objects come into contact with the camera interior, immediately turn the camera off and remove the battery. If the battery charger becomes wet, unplug it from the outlet and
consult your camera retailer or a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
•Use only the recommended battery.
•Do not place the battery near or in direct flame.
•Unplug the power cord 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 handle the power cord 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 power cord or plug are damaged, or not fully plugged into the outlet.
•Do not allow dirt or metal objects (such as pins or keys) to contact the terminals or plug.
The battery may explode or leak, resulting in electrical shock or fire. This could cause injury and damage the surroundings. In the event that a battery leaks and the battery electrolyte contacts eyes, mouth, skin or clothing, immediately flush with water.
• 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 camera in places where use of electronic devices is restricted, such as inside airplanes and medical facilities.

•Do not play the supplied CD-ROM(s) in any CD player that does not support data CD-ROMs.
It is possible to suffer hearing loss from listening with headphones to the loud sounds of a CD-ROM played on an audio CD player (music player). Additionally, this could damage the speakers.
Caution Denotes the possibility of injury.
•When holding the camera 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 subject the screen to strong impacts.
If the screen cracks, injury may result from the broken fragments.
•When using the flash, be careful not to cover it with your fingers or clothing.
This could result in burns or damage to the flash.
•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 areas
These could cause leakage, overheating or an explosion of the battery, resulting in electrical shock, fire, burns or other injuries.
High temperatures may cause deformation of the camera or battery charger casing.
•The slideshow transition effects may cause discomfort when viewed for prolonged periods.

Caution Denotes the possibility of damage to the equipment.
•Do not aim the camera at bright light sources (such as the sun on a clear day).
Doing so may damage the image sensor.
•When using the camera on a beach or at a windy location, be careful not to allow dust or sand to enter the camera.
This may cause the product to malfunction.
•In regular use, small amounts of smoke may be emitted from the flash.
This is due to the high intensity of the flash burning dust and foreign materials stuck to the front of the unit. Please use a cotton swab to remove dirt, dust or other foreign matter from the flash to prevent heat build-up and damage to the unit.
•Remove and store the battery when you are not using the camera.
If the battery is left inside the camera, damage caused by leakage may occur.
•Before you discard the battery, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators.
Contacting other metal materials may lead to fire or explosions.
•Unplug the battery charger from the power outlet after charging is complete, or when you are not using it.
•Do not place anything, such as cloth, on top of the battery
charger while it is charging.
Leaving the unit plugged in for a long period of time may cause it to overheat and distort, resulting in fire.
• Do not place the battery near pets.
Pets biting the battery could cause leakage, overheating or explosion, resulting in fire or damage.
