Handling Cautions
Camera Care
(1) The camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical shock.
(2) This camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you 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 damp cloth.
(3) 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 and radio waves can cause
camera misoperation or destroy image data.
(4) Do not leave the camera in places of excessive heat such as in a car on a sunny day. The
heat can cause the camera to malfunction.
(5) The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to disassemble the
camera.
(6) Use only a blower brush to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder eyepiece, mirror,
focusing screen, etc. Do not use any organic solvents to clean the camera body or lens.
For stubborn dirt, consult your nearest Canon Service Center.
(7) Do not touch the electrical contacts with your fingers.
Corrosion may develop on the contacts, resulting in improper camera operation.
(8) If the camera is suddenly brought into a warm environment from a cold one, condensation
(water droplets) may form on the camera and internal parts. To avoid this, first put the
camera in a vinyl bag and let it adjust gradually to the warmer temperature.
(9) If condensation develops on the camera, do not use the camera. Remove the CF card
and battery and wait until the condensation evaporates.
(10) If the camera is not to be used for an extended period, remove the battery. Store the
camera in a well-ventilated, cool, dry place. During the storage period, release the shutter
a few times once in a while.
(11) Avoid storing the camera in a laboratory, cabinet, etc., where corrosive chemicals are
present.
(12) If the camera has not been used for an extended period or if the camera is to be used for
an important event, check the operation of all the camera controls or take it to your
nearest Canon Service Center.
LCD Monitor and LCD Panels
(1) The color LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision technology. There may
be a few dead pixels where a black, red, or green pixel is always displayed. They number
no more than 0.02 percent (standard tolerance) of all effective pixels. They also do not
affect the images recorded.
(2) Do not press hard against the LCD monitor or LCD panel or subject it to physical shock.
Doing so may result in a warped display or malfunction.
(3) If the LCD monitor or LCD panels become dirty, use a blower brush or soft cloth to clean.
For stubborn dirt, take the camera to a Canon Service Center.
(4) 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.
