Precautions
1) This camera is not resistant to water
and should not be used outdoors in snow
or rain. If accidentally dropped in water,
contact an authorized Canon service fa-
cility. Keep the camera out of salt spray
and protect it from excessive humidity. If
used at the beach, clean it thoroughly
afterward with a dry cloth.
2) Donotattemptto 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 it 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 extreme hu-
midity, use a desiccant.
5) Carefully check the camera's operation
after lengthy storage.
6) The battery may explode or cause burns if
disassembled,
recharged,
shorted,
ex-
posed to high temperatures, or disposed
of in fire.
7) Film passing through X-ray examinations
at airports may be exposed and ruined
even if loaded in the camera. Request a
hand-checked
inspection to avoid dam-
age.
8) Aerosol spray dust removers are not rec-
ommended for the shutter curtain.
9) Condensation is a problem when bringing
cold equipment into a warm room. If the
autofocus
optics cloud
over, accuracy
may be seriously affected. Before entering
a warm room, put equipment in a plastic
bag so that condensation forms on the
outside of the bag.
10)Color reproduction may be adversely af-
fected if film is left in the camera for along
time.
Always
develop
exposed
film
promptly.
