Cautions
z
Please use Canon AA-size NiMH batteries and charger recommended for use with these
batteries. Use of another charger may cause batteries to overheat or deform, posing risk of
fire injury and damage to the surroundings.
z
Disconnect the battery charger and compact power adapter from both the camera and
the power outlet after recharging and when they are not in use to avoid fire and other
hazards. Continuous use over a long period may cause a unit to overheat and distort,
resulting in fire.
z
The camera terminal of the separately sold compact power adapter is designed for
exclusive use with your camera. Do not use it with other products or batteries. There is a
risk of fire and other hazards.
z
Exercise due caution when screwing on the separately sold wide converter, tele-
converter, close-up lens and conversion lens adapter. If they come loose, they may fall
from the lens adapter, posing risk of injury from shattered glass.
Caution about magnetic fields
Keep objects that are sensitive to magnetic fields (such as credit cards) away from the
speaker of the camera (p. 14). Such items may lose data or stop working.
z
Avoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places subject to strong sunlight or
high temperatures, such as the dashboard or trunk (boot) of a car. Exposure to intense
sunlight and heat may cause the batteries to leak, overheat or explode, resulting in fire, burns
or other injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing. Ensure that
there is good ventilation when using the battery charger to charge the batteries.
z
Do not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas. Storage in such areas could lead to
fire, electrical shock or other damage.
z
Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong impacts or shocks that could
lead to injury or damage the equipment when wearing or holding it by the strap.
z
Be careful not to cover the flash with your fingers or clothing when shooting. The flash
may be damaged and emit smoke or noise. In addition, do not touch the surface of the flash
after taking several pictures in rapid succession. Either action could result in burns.
z
Do not operate the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to its lens. The resulting heat
build-up could damage the flash.
z
Ensure that the battery charger is plugged into a power outlet of the specified rating,
not over the specified rating. The plug of the battery charger varies according to region.
z
Do not use the battery charger or compact power adapter if the plug or cable is
damaged, or if the plug is not fully inserted into the power outlet.
