Handling Precautions
1. This 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.

[4] Checking the Battery Power
Check that the Es)' icon appears on the LCD panel
when you switch the camera on
\ss& (on) The battery is fully charged.
[Sl 3 (on) Prepare new battery
SHI 1 (blinking) Load the new battery (—» 13)
A new battery will generally provide enough
charge to shoot approx. 12 rolls of 24-exposure
film (based on Canon’s Standard Test Method at
normal temperatures and with 50% flash use). At
low temperatures (—10°C/14°F), the battery life is
approximately one third of the normal figure.
r=i • If you are travelling or plan to take a lot of pictures,
Ijl take a supply of spare batteries. The correct batteries
may be difficult to obtain at your destination
• When you take consecutive shots using the flash, the
battery power may drop off temporarily and prevent
the LCD panel from displaying information correctly. If
this occurs, switch the camera off and wait a few
minutes before switching it back on again.
