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 your nearest
Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the
camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe 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 temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.
¡
The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to
disassemble the camera yourself.
¡
Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, mirror, and focusing
screen. Do not use cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean the
camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, take the camera to a 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 this occurs, remove the lens, CF card and battery
from the camera, and wait until the 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.
¡
Avoid storing the camera where there are corrosive chemicals such as a
darkroom or chemical lab.
¡
If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions
before using the camera. If you have not used the camera for some time or if
there is an important shoot coming up, have the camera checked by your
Canon dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working
properly.
Handling Precautions

Handling Precautions
LCD Panel and LCD Monitor
¡
Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision
technology with over 99.99% active pixels, there might be a few dead pixels
among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying only black
or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded.
¡
At low temperatures, the liquid-crystal display response may become slower.
And at high temperatures, the display may blacken. In either case, the
display will return to normal at room temperature.
CF Card
¡
The CF card is a precision device. Do not drop the memory card or subject it
to vibration. Doing so could damage the images recorded on them.
¡
Do not store or use a memory card near anything having a strong magnetic
field such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places prone to
having static electricity. Otherwise, the images recorded on the CF card
might be lost.
¡
Do not leave memory cards in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Doing so
can warp the cards and make them unusable.
¡
Do not spill any liquid onto the CF card.
¡
Always store your CF cards in a case to protect the data stored on them.
¡
Non-Canon CF cards may not be able to record and playback images. Using
Canon CF cards is recommended.
¡
Do not bend the card or subject it to any excessive force or physical shock.
¡
Do not store CF cards in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
Lens Electrical Contacts
After detaching the lens from the camera, attach the lens
caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid
