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 pack and memory card, and
wait until the moisture has evaporated before resuming use.
● Before long-term battery storage, use up the battery pack’s
remaining charge, remove it from the camera, and store it in
a plastic bag or similar container. Storing a partially charged
battery pack over extended periods (about a year) may shorten
its life or affect performance.
