Handling Precautions
Camera Care
(1) This camera is not waterproof, and should not be used in rain or under
water. If water gets into your camera, take it quickly to the nearest
Canon Service Center. Remove any water droplets from the camera's
exterior with a clean, dry cloth. If the camera is exposed to salt air,
wring out a clean, damp cloth, and use it to wipe off the camera.
(2) Be careful not to leave your camera inside an automobile that is
standing in direct sunlight. The interiors of automobiles in this situation
can become hot enough to damage a camera.
(3) If your camera gets foreign matter in its lens or cartridge chamber,
remove it only with a commercially available blower brush. Do not wipe
the camera body or lens with any cleaner containing organic solvents.
If your camera is particularly dirty, contact a Canon Service Center.
(4) If you will not be using your camera for a long period, remove the
batteries from its battery compartment and store it in a cool, dry, well
ventilated location. While storing it, trigger its shutter release from time
to time to make sure it still works.
(5) Avoid storing your camera in a laboratory or other location where
chemicals are used, or the camera may rust or corrode. Also avoid
storing the camera in clothes dressers or similar places.
(6) If you have not used your camera for a long time, inspect it thoroughly
before using it again. After long disuse or before important events such
as overseas travel, you may want to have your camera inspected by
your nearest Canon Service Center, or you may choose to check its
functions yourself.
LCD panel
Your camera includes a number of LCD panels. If a panel becomes dim,
contact your nearest Canon Service Center to have it replaced (this is a
fee service). Note that LCDs respond more slowly in cold conditions, and
can turn black at temperatures above 60 °C (140 °F), but will operate
normally again when returned to room temperature.
