    							1 Camera Body Temperature 
    If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become 
    warm. Please be aware of this and take care when operating the camera for 
    an extended period. 
    About the LCD Monitor
    The LCD monitor is produced with extremely high-precision manufacturing 
    techniques. More than 99.99% of the pixels operate to specification. Less 
    than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as red or black 
    dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a 
    malfunction. 
    Video Format
    Please set the camera’s video signal format to the one used in your region 
    before using it with a TV monitor (p. 141).
    Charging the Date/Time Battery
     The camera has a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery that maintains 
    the date, time and other camera settings. This battery recharges when the 
    main battery pack is inserted into the camera. When you first purchase the 
    camera, place a charged battery pack in it for at least 4 hours to charge 
    the date/time battery. It will charge even when the camera power is turned 
    off.
     If the Date/Time menu appears when the camera power is turned on, it 
    means that the date/time battery charge is depleted. Recharge it as 
    described above.

    Please Read
    Test Shots
    Before you try to photograph important subjects, we highly recommend that 
    you shoot several trial images to confirm that the camera is operating and 
    being operated correctly.
    Please note that Canon, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and its distributors 
    are not liable for any consequential damages arising from any malfunction 
    of a camera or accessory, including SD memory cards, that results in the 
    failure of an image to be recorded or to be recorded in a format that is 
    machine readable.
    Warning Against Copyright Infringement
    Please note that Canon digital cameras are intended for personal use and 
    should never be used in a manner that infringes upon or contravenes 
    international or domestic copyright laws and regulations. Please be advised 
    that in certain cases the copying of images from performances, exhibitions, 
    or commercial properties by means of a camera or other device may 
    contravene copyright or other legal rights even if the image was shot for 
    personal use.

    Safety Precautions
     Before using the camera, please ensure that you read and understand the 
    safety precautions described below. Always ensure that the camera is 
    operated correctly.
     The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to 
    instruct you in the safe and correct operation of the camera and its 
    accessories to prevent injuries or damage to yourself, other persons and 
    equipment.
     In the next few pages, the term equipment refers primarily to the camera 
    and its power supply accessories, such as the battery charger and 
    separately sold compact power adapter. See the System Map for power 
    supply accessory details.  
     Warnings
    • Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or at other intense light 
    sources that could damage your eyesight.
    Do not trigger the flash in close proximity to human or animal eyes. 
    Exposure to the intense light produced by the flash may damage eyesight. 
    In particular, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away from infants 
    when using the flash. 
    Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. Accidental 
    damage to the camera or battery pack by a child could result in serious 
    injury. In addition, placement of the strap around the child’s neck could 
    result in asphyxiation. 
    Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is 
    not expressly described in this guide. Disassembly or alteration may 
    result in high-voltage electrical shock. Internal inspections, alterations and 
    repairs should be conducted by qualified service personnel authorized by 
    your camera distributor or a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
     Storing SD cards
    Store the SD memory card out of the reach of children and infants.
    It may be swallowed accidentally. If this occurs, consult a doctor 
    immediately.
     
    						
    							8
    To avoid the risk of high-voltage electrical shock, do not touch the flash 
    portion of the camera if it has been damaged. Similarly, never touch 
    internal portions of the equipment that become exposed as a result of 
    damage. There is a risk of high-voltage electrical shock. Please take the 
    first opportunity to consult your camera distributor or the closest Canon 
    Customer Support Help Desk. 
    Stop operating the equipment immediately if it emits smoke or noxious 
    fumes. Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately 
    turn the camera power off, remove the battery pack or unplug the battery 
    charger from the power outlet. Confirm that smoke or fume emissions 
    have ceased. Please consult your camera distributor or the closest Canon 
    Customer Support Help Desk.
    Stop operating the equipment if it is dropped or the casing is damaged. 
    Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately turn the 
    camera power off, remove the battery pack or unplug the power cable 
    from the power outlet. Please consult your camera distributor or the 
    closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk. 
    Do not allow the equipment to come into contact with, or become 
    immersed in, water or other liquids. Do not allow liquids to enter the 
    interior. The camera has not been waterproofed. If the exterior comes into 
    contact with liquids or salt air, wipe it dry with a soft, absorbent cloth. If 
    water or other foreign substances enter the interior, immediately turn the 
    camera power off and remove the camera battery pack or unplug the 
    power cord from the power outlet. Continued use of the equipment may 
    result in fire or electrical shock. Please consult your camera distributor or 
    the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
    Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzene, thinners or other 
    flammable substances to clean or maintain the equipment. The use of 
    these substances may lead to fire.
    Remove the power cord on a regular periodic basis and wipe away the 
    dust and dirt that collects on the plug, the exterior of the power outlet 
    and the surrounding area. In dusty, humid or greasy environments, the 
    dust that collects around the plug over long periods of time may become 
    saturated with humidity and short-circuit, leading to fire.
