Handling Precautions
1. T h i s camera is not resistant to water, and should not
be used outdoors if it is raining or snowing. If it is
accidentally dropped in water, contact an authorized
Canon service facility, Keep the camera out of salt
spray and excessive humidity. If used at the beach,
clean it thoroughly afterward with a dry cloth.
2. Store the camera in a cool, dry, dust-free place. Be
sure to keep the camera out of direct sunlight, and
away from “hot spots” such as the trunk or rear
window shelf of a car Avoid places where mothballs
are used, and use a desiccant in excessive humidity.
3. Do not attempt to disassemble the camera yourself,
since there is high-voltage circuitry inside.
4. The battery may explode or cause burns if
disassembled, recharged, shorted, exposed to high
temperatures, or disposed of in a fire.
5. Use a blower brush to remove dust and sand from
the lens and inside the camera. Do not apply any
fluids to the lens or body. Take the camera to an
authorized Canon service facility for a more
thorough cleaning if necessary.
6. Film passing through X-ray examinations at an
airport may be exposed and ruined even when
loaded in the camera. Request a different method of
inspection to avoid damage.
7. Color reproduction may be adversely affected if the
film is left in the camera for a long time. Always
develop exposed film promptly.
If you use the flash continuously (30 times or more)
while no film is in the camera, the camera may stop
to prevent the flash unit from overheating. If this
happens, turn the camera off and wait a few minutes
before turning it back on again.

ADVANCED PHOTO SYSTEM
This camera supports the new Advanced Photo
System. This system, as well as Canon’s advanced
technology has made it possible to produce a
camera that is smaller than any previous camera with
a 3x zoom lens.
Here are some of the special features of this system.
Visual exposure indicators
H] New Film
The 1X240 new film comes in
a compact film cartridge with
no leader. This new drop-in
film can be easily loaded by
anyone, and replaces all
previous hard-to-load films.
In addition, the visual
exposure indicator on the top
of the cartridge shows whether the film cartridge is
unexposed, partial, exposed, or processed.
O Urtexpoaed
D Partial
£3 Expoead
0 Processed
[H Mid-roll Film Change
If a partially exposed film cartridge is reloaded in the
camera, the camera automatically advances the film to the
next unexposed frame. You can then continue taking pictures
until the film cartridge is fully exposed. This allows you to use
separate film cartridges for different types of subjects, or
moods.
*lf a partially exposed film cartridge is loaded into in a
camera that does not support mid-roll film change, the
camera will set the visual exposure indicator to “Exposed”
and will not load the film. Be sure to check the features of
each camera.

Features
S] New Type Prints
The Advanced Photo System allows the camera to shoot
three types of prints: in addition to classic print types {C
print), you can now shoot wide-angle (H print) and panorama
(P print) prints.
The Advanced Photo System can also imprint date/time
information on the back of the print, or on the front and back
of the print. The system can also imprint title text on the back
of the print.
^Character size, shape, color, position, and ability to print on
both sides may vary according to the individual photo shop.
S] New Processing Methods
Previous 135 {35mm) film has always been returned from
the processing lab as negative strips. This has made
ordering reprints inconvenient since each picture must be
found on the negative strips. With the Advanced Photo
System however, the negative film is returned from the
certified shop reloaded in its cartridge, accompanied by an
index print. Unlike hard-to-see negative strips of previous
cameras, this index print (where all shots can be viewed)
makes reviewing prints much easier. Users can now order
reprints simply by matching the ID on the back of the print or
on the index print with the ID on the film cartridge, and then
specifying the print number to be reprinted at the photo

along with an index print, and the film cartridge with
the film inside.
• When ordering reprints from a certified shop, just match
the ID on the back of the print or on the index print
sheet with the ID on the film cartridge, and specify
which prints you want.
