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 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  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 te mperatures can cause the  camera to malfunction.
  The camera contains precision electr onic circuitry. Never attempt to 
disassemble the camera yourself.
  Do not block the mirror op eration with your finger, etc. Doing so may cause a 
malfunction.
  Use a blower to blow away  dust on the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirror, and 
focusing screen. Do not use cleaners that contain org anic 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 cont acts 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 pu t 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 locati on. Even while the 
camera is in storage, pr ess the shutter button a few times once in a while to 
check that the camera is still working.
  Avoid storing the camera where there ar e chemicals that result in rust and 
corrosion such as in a chemical lab.
Handling Precautions

Handling Precautions
 If the camera has not been us ed for an extended period, test all its functions 
before using it. If yo u have not used the camera for  some time or if there is 
an important shoot such as a foreig n trip coming up, have the camera 
checked by your Canon de aler or check the camera yourself and make sure 
it is working properly.
  If you use continuous shooting, Live Vi ew shooting, or movie shooting for a 
prolonged period, the cam era may become hot. This is not a malfunction.
LCD Panel and LCD Monitor Although the LCD monito r is manufactured with very high precision 
technology with over 99.99% effective  pixels, there may be a few dead pixels 
displaying only black or red, etc. among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. 
Dead pixels are not a malfunction. Th ey 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 di sappear when the camera is left unus ed for a few days.
  The LCD monitor display may seem slow  in low temperatures, or look black 
in high temperat ures. It will return  to normal at room temperature.
CardsTo protect the card and its reco rded 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 cont acts with your fingers or anything 
metallic.
  Do not affix any sticke rs, etc., on the card.
  Do not store or use the ca rd 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 ca rd in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
LensAfter 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.Contacts
