Handling Precautions
● The camera is a high-precision electronic device. Avoid
dropping it or subjecting it to strong impact.
● Never bring the camera near magnets, motors, or other
devices that generate strong electromagnetic elds. The
electromagnetic elds may cause malfunction in the camera or
erase image data.
● If water droplets or dirt adheres to the camera or screen, wipe
with a dry soft cloth, such as an eyeglass cloth. Do not rub
hard or apply force.
● Never use cleaners containing organic solvents to clean the
camera or screen.
● Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens. If cleaning is
difcult, contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
● When you suddenly transfer the camera from cold place to hot
environments, condensation (water drops) may form on the
camera. To prevent condensation from forming on the camera
after sudden temperature changes, put the camera in an
airtight, resealable plastic bag and let it gradually adjust to the
temperature before removing it from the bag.
● If condensation does form on the camera, stop using it
immediately. Continuing to use the camera in this state may
damage it. Remove the battery pack and memory card, and
wait until the moisture has evaporated before resuming use.
● Store unused battery packs in a plastic bag or other container.
To maintain battery performance if you will not use the battery
pack for some time, charge it about once a year and then use
the camera until it runs out of power before storing the battery
pack.
