Camera Care
This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to
physical shock.
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun
on a sunny day or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may
damage the image sensor or the camera’s internal components.
The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you
accidentally drop the camera into water, promptly consult the nearest
Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry and clean
cloth. If the camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a well-
wrung wet cloth.
Never leave the camera near anything that has 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.
Do not block the shutter operation with your finger, etc. Doing so may
cause a malfunction.
Use a blower to blow away any dust on the lens. 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 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.
