Handling Precautions

• The camera is a high-precision electronic device. Avoid
dropping it or subjecting it to strong impact.
•
Never bring the camera near magnets, motors, or other devices
that generate strong electromagnetic fields, which may cause
malfunction or erase image data.
•
If water droplets or dirt adheres to the camera or screen, wipe
with a dry soft cloth, such as an eyeglass cloth. Do not rub hard
or apply force.
•
Never use cleaners containing organic solvents to clean the
camera or screen.
• Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens. If cleaning is
difficult, contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
• To prevent condensation from forming on the camera after
sudden temperature changes (when the camera is transferred
from cold to warm environments), put the camera in an
airtight, resealable plastic bag and let it gradually adjust to the
temperature before removing it from the bag.
•
If condensation does form on the camera, stop using it
immediately. Continuing to use the camera in this state may
damage it. Remove the battery and memory card, and wait until
the moisture has evaporated before resuming use.
• Before long-term battery storage, use up the battery's remaining
charge, remove it from the camera, and store it in a plastic bag
or similar container. Storing a partially charged battery over
extended periods (about a year) may shorten its life or affect
performance.
