Safety Precautions

6
Warnings
zDo not aim the camera directly into the sun or at other intense
light sources which could damage your eyesight.
zDo 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.
zStore this equipment out of the reach of children and infants.
Accidental damage to the camera or batteries by a child could
result in serious injury. In addition, placement of the strap around
the child’s neck could result in asphyxiation.
zBe particularly careful to keep the date battery used in the
camera away from children. Seek medical assistance
immediately if a child swallows a battery.
zDo 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.
zTo 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 a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
zStop 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’s power off, remove the
camera battery or unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
Confirm that smoke and fume emissions have ceased.
Please consult your camera distributor or the closest Canon
Customer Support Help Desk.
z
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’s power off, remove the camera battery
or unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Please consult your
camera distributor or the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

7
zDo 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. In the event that water
or other foreign substances enter the interior, immediately turn the
camera’s power off and remove the camera battery 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.
zDo 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.
zRemove 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.
zDo not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power
adapter cord. Any of these actions may cause an electrical short
circuit, which may lead to fire or electrical shock.
zDo not handle the power cord if your hands are wet. Handling
it with wet hands may lead to electrical shock. When unplugging
the cord, ensure that you hold the solid portion of the plug. Pulling
on the flexible portion of the cord may damage or expose the wire
and insulation, creating the potential for fires and electrical shocks.
zUse only the recommended power accessories. Use of power
sources not expressly recommended for this equipment may lead
to overheating, distortion of the equipment, fire, electrical shock or
other hazards.
zDo not place the batteries near a heat source or expose them
to direct flame or heat. Neither should you immerse them in
water. Such exposure may damage the batteries and lead to the
leakage of corrosive liquids, fire, electrical shock, explosion or
serious injury.

8
zDo not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the
batteries. There is serious risk of injury due to an explosion.
Immediately flush with water any area of the body, including the
eyes and mouth, or clothing, that comes into contact with the inner
contents of a battery. If the eyes or mouth contact these
substances, immediately flush with water and seek medical
assistance.
z
Avoid dropping or subjecting the batteries to severe impacts
that could damage the casings.
It could lead to leakage and
injury.
zDo not short-circuit the battery terminals with metallic
objects, such as key holders. It could lead to overheating, burns
and other injuries. Use the supplied terminal cover to transport or
store the battery pack.
zBefore you discard a battery, cover the terminals with tape or
other insulators to prevent direct contact with other objects.
Contact with the metallic components of other materials in waste
containers may lead to fire or explosions. Discard the batteries in
specialized waste facilities if available in your area.
zUse only recommended batteries and accessories. Use of
batteries not expressly recommended for this equipment may
cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to
the surroundings.
zDisconnect the compact power adapter from both the camera
and power outlet after recharging and when the camera is not
in use to avoid fires and other hazards. Continuous use over a
long period of time may cause the unit to overheat and distort,
resulting in fire.
zThe camera terminal of the separately sold compact power
cord is designed for exclusive use with your camera. Do not
use it with other products or batteries. There is a risk of fire and
other hazards.
zExercise due caution when screwing on the separately sold
tele-converter lens, close-up lens and conversion lens
adapter. If they loosen, fall off and shatter, the glass shards may
cause an injury.

9
Cautions
zAvoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places
subject to strong sunlight or high temperatures, such as the
dashboard or trunk (boot) of a car. Exposure to intense sunlight
and heat may cause the batteries to leak, overheat or explode,
resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may
also cause deformation of the casing. Ensure that there is good
ventilation when using the compact power adapter to charge the
battery pack or power the camera.
zDo not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas. Storage
in such areas could lead to fire, electrical shock or other damage.
zBe careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong
impacts or shocks that could lead to injury or damage the
equipment when wearing or holding it by the strap.
zBe careful not to cover the flash with your fingers or clothing
when shooting. The flash may be damaged and emit smoke or
noise. In addition, do not touch the surface of the flash after taking
several pictures in rapid succession. Either action could result in
burns.
zDo not operate the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to
its lens. The resulting heat build-up could damage the flash.
zEnsure that the battery charger is plugged into a power outlet
of the specified rating, not over the specified rating. The plug
of the battery charger varies according to region.
zDo not use the battery charger or compact power adapter if
the cable or plug is damaged, or if the plug is not fully
inserted into the power outlet.
zDo not allow metal objects (such as pins or keys) or dirt to
contact the charger terminals or plug.
zIf your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera
body may become warm. Please take care when operating the
camera for an extended period as your hands may experience a
burning sensation.

10
Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields
Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or
other equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields.
Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or
corrupt image data.
Avoid Condensation Related Problems
Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures
may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its external
and internal surfaces.
You can avoid this by placing the equipment in an airtight,
resealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature changes
slowly before removing it from the bag.
If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera
Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation.
Continued use may damage the equipment. Remove the CF card,
and battery or a household power source, from the camera and
wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming
use.
Extended Storage
When not using the camera for extended periods of time, remove
the battery from the camera or battery charger and store the
equipment in a safe place. Storing the camera for extended
periods with batteries installed will run down the battery. (Do not
remove the date battery.)
