Care of the Camera
1. To clean the camera’s glass surfaces,
use only a blower brush, cleaning fluid,
and tissue made specially for camera
lenses. First remove dust with the blower
brush. Then apply a few drops of fluid to
the tissue (NEVER apply fluid directly to
the lens!) and gently wipe the lens in a
circular motion. Keep the autofocus and
auto exposure windows clean in the
same manner. For non-glass surfaces,
brush off dust with a blower brush, silicon
cloth, or chamois leather. The film com­
partment also requires gentle cleaning
from time to time to remove dust which
may scratch the film. To clean the film
compartment, use only a blower brush;
do not apply any fluids to the rear lens.
2 . The best thing you can do for your
camera is to use it regularly. If you must
store it for a long time, first remove the
batteries. Then wrap the camera in a
clean, soft cloth and store it in a cool, dry,
dust-free area. Always keep the camera
out of direct sunlight and very hot spots,
such as the trunk or glove compartment
of a car,
3 . Keep the camera out of water, salt-
spray and humidity. If you accidentally
drop It in water, take it immediately to an
authorized Canon Service facility for
inspection.

Replace the batteries every year; even
if they are not used, they will gradually
discharge.
