• Store 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.
• Do 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-

Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
• To 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.
