Handting Precautions - Canon EOS REBEL XS Instruction Manual

Handling Precautions
LCD Monitor
® Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision
technology with over 99.99% effective pixeJs, there might be a few dead
pixels among the remaining 0.01% or less pixeJs. Dead pixels dispJaying
only black or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images
recorded.
® If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur
where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only
temporarily and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few
days.
Cards
® Cards are precision devices. Do not drop the card or subject it to vibration.
Doing so could damage the images recorded on them.
® Do not store or use the card near anything having a strong magnetic field
such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places prone to having
static electricity. Otherwise, the images recorded on the card might be lost.
® Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Doing so can
warp the cards and make them unusable.
® Do not spill any liquid onto the card.
® Always store your cards in a case to protect the data stored on them.
® Do not bend the card or subiect it to any excessive force or physical shock.
® Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
Lens EJectrical Contacts Contacts
.After detaching the lens from the camera, attach the lens
caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid
scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.
Cautions During Prolonged Use
When you shoot continuously for a prolonged period or use Live View shooting
for a long period, the camera may become hot. Although this is not a
malfunction, holding the hot camera for a long period can cause slight skin
burns.
