Handling Precautions

The camera is a high-precision electronic device. Avoid dropping it or
subjecting it to strong impact.
Never leave the camera near anything that has a strong magnetic field
such as a magnet or electric motor. Strong magnetic fields can cause
camera malfunction or image data loss.
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.
If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room,
condensation may form on the camera. To prevent condensation, first
put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to the warmer
temperature before taking it out of the bag.
Store the battery inside a sealed plastic bag or other protective
covering. To preserve battery function, if it is not used for long periods
of time, recharge around once per year, then use up the charge
completely before placing in storage.
If condensation does form on the camera, stop using it immediately.
Continuing to use the camera in this state may damage it. Remove the
lens, battery pack and memory card, and wait until the moisture has
evaporated before resuming use.
Do not touch the camera or lens contacts. Doing so may lead to
camera malfunction.
The image sensor is visible after the lens is removed. Do not touch the
image sensor, as this may lead to scratching.
Do not block the shutter operation with your finger, etc. Doing so may
cause a malfunction.
After detaching the lens from the camera, put down the lens with the
rear end up and attach the lens caps to avoid scratching the lens
surface and contacts.
Besides dust entering the camera from outside, in rare cases lubricant
from the camera's internal parts may adhere to the front of the sensor.
If visible spots still remain after the automatic sensor cleaning, having
the sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is recommended.
Periodically cleaning the camera's body and lens mount with a soft
lens cleaning cloth is recommended.
