Handling Precautions

Equipment
•
This camera is a high-precision electronic device. Do not drop it or
subject it to strong impact.
•
Never place the camera close to magnets or motors that generate strong
electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause
malfunctions or corrupt image data.
•
If water droplets have fallen or dirt is stuck on the camera or LCD monitor,
wipe with a dry soft cloth or eyeglass wiper. Do not rub or apply force.
•
Never use cleaners including organic solvents to wipe the camera or LCD
monitor.
•
Use a commercially available blower brush to remove dust from the lens.
For stubborn dirt contact the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk
as listed on the customer support leaflet supplied with your camera.
•
When you move the camera rapidly from cold to hot temperatures,
condensation may form on the internal or external surfaces of the
camera. To avoid condensation, put the camera in an airtight, resealable
plastic bag and let it adjust to temperature changes slowly before
removing it from the bag.
•
When condensation has formed, stop using the camera immediately.
Continued use may damage the camera. Remove the batteries and
memory card, and wait until the moisture has completely evaporated
before resuming use.
Memory Cards
•
Memory cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend, apply
force or subject to strong impact. Doing so may corrupt image data
recorded on the memory card.
•
Do not spill liquids on the memory card. Do not touch the memory card's
terminals with your hands or metallic objects.
•
Do not store memory cards near a TV, speakers or other devices that
generate magnetism or static electricity. Doing so may corrupt image
data recorded on the memory card.
•
Do not store memory cards in hot, humid or dusty locations.
