• Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or at other intense light sources that could
injure your eyesight.
• Do not trigger the flash in close proximity to human or animal eyes. Exposure to the
intense light produced by the flash may injure eyesight. In particular, remain at least
one meter (39 inches) away from infants when using the flash.
• 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.
• Be particularly careful to keep the button batteries used in the camera and wireless
controller out of the reach of children. Seek medical assistance immediately if a child
swallows a battery.
• 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-voltage electrical
shock. Internal inspections, alterations and repairs should be conducted by qualified
service personnel authorized by your camera distributor or the closest 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
the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
• Stop 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 and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Confirm that
smoke or fume emissions have ceased. Please consult your camera distributor or the closest
Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
• 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 and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Please consult your
camera distributor or the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
• Do 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. If 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 electrical outlet. Continued use of the equipment may result in
