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 affix any stickers, etc., on the card.
Do not store or use the card near anything that has 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, put down
the lens with the rear end up and attach the lens caps
to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical
contacts.
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. If visible spots still
remain after the automatic sensor cleaning, having the
sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is
recommended.
Lens Mount
Periodically cleaning the camera’s body and lens mount with a soft lens
cleaning cloth is recommended.
