to accumulate in the lens or body. If you
should accidentally drop your camera in
the water, it may be beyond repair, but
take it immediately to an authorized
Canon service facility to check on the ex­
tent of the damage.
Storage
If you must store your camera for ex­
tended periods of time, first remove the
batteries to prevent possible corrosion to
the terminals. Cap the lens and store the
camera in a cool, dry, dust-free place.
Avoid storing it in the glove com­
partment, rear window shelf, or other hot
areas of an automobile, or in harmful en­
vironments such as a laboratory where
chemicals could cause corrosion and rust.
When not in use, keep the lens capped to
prevent the accumulation of dust and to
eliminate the possibility of extraneous
light entering the camera and damaging
the film, and keep the power switch in the
OFF position to prevent accidental battery
drain.
