● 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 electrical 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 spots are still visible on images after automatic sensor cleaning,
contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk to request sensor
cleaning.
● Periodically cleaning the camera’s body and lens mount with a soft
lens cleaning cloth is recommended.
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.
● Store unused battery packs in a plastic bag or other container. To
maintain battery performance if you will not use the battery pack for
some time, about once a year charge it and then use the camera until
it runs out of power before storing the battery pack.
● 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. This may cause the camera
to malfunction.
● To avoid damaging the image sensor, do not touch it when it is
exposed after a lens is removed.
● Do not block the shutter operation with your finger, etc. Doing so may
cause a malfunction.
