Precautions
1) The Canon E05-1 has been designed for in-
creased resistance to moisture. However, this
camera is not waterproof and must there-
fore be handled with reasonable care. Keep
the camera out of salt spray and protect it
from excessive moisture. If used at the
beach, clean it thoroughly afterward with a
dry cloth. If dropped in water, contact an
authorized Canon service facility.
2)
Do not attempt to disassemble the camera
yourself. Always take it to an authorized
Canon service facility for repair.
3) Remove the battery if you do not expect to
use the camera for about three weeks or
longer.
4) When storing the camera, wrap it in a clean,
soft cloth and place 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 moth balls are used
and in excessive humidity, use a desiccant.
5) Carefully check the camera's operation after
prolonged storage.
6) The battery may explode or cause burns if
disassembled, recharged, shorted, exposed
to high temperatures, or disposed in fire.
7) Film passing through X-ray examinations at
airports may be exposed and ruined even
when loaded in the camera. Request a hand-
checked inspection to avoid damage.
8) Aerosol spray dust removers are not recom-
mended for the shutter curtain.
9) Condensation is a problem when bringing
cold equipment into a warm room. If the au-
tofocus optics cloud over, accuracy may be
seriously affected. Before entering a warm
room , put equipment in a plastic bag so con-
densation forms on the outside of the bag.
