Handling Precautions and Safety Instructions
CAUTION
Denotes the risk of injury.
• Strap is intended for use on the body only. Hanging the strap with any product attached on a hook or other
object may damage the product. Also, do not shake the product or expose the product to strong impacts.
This may cause injury or damage to the product.
• Do not leave the product in places exposed to extremely high or low temperatures. The product may become
extremely hot/cold and cause burns or injury when touched.
• Only mount the product on a tripod that is sufficiently sturdy.
Camera
Be sure to observe the following precautions to ensure maximum performance.
• Do not carry the camera by the LCD panel. Be careful when closing the LCD panel.
• Do not leave the camera in places subject to high temperatures (like the inside of a car parked under direct
sunlight), or high humidity.
• Do not hold the camera in the same posture for long periods of time as this may cause low-temperature
contact burns. Even if the camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same body part may
cause skin redness or blistering. The use of a tripod is recommended for people with circulation problems or
very sensitive skin, or when using the camera in very hot places.
• Do not use the camera near strong electromagnetic fields such as near powerful magnets and motors, MRI
machines or high-voltage power lines. Using the camera in such places may cause anomalies in the video, or
audio or video noise to appear.
• Do not use or store the camera in dusty or sandy places. The camera is not waterproof – avoid also water,
mud or salt. If any of the above should get into the camera it may damage the camera and/or the lens. Consult
a Canon Service Center as soon as possible.
• Be careful to avoid dust and dirt particles accumulating on the lens or entering the camera. When you finish
using the camera, make sure to attach the body cap to the lens mount and the lens cap and dust cap to the
lens.
• Do not point the camera or viewfinder toward an intense light source, such as the sun on a sunny day or an
intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or the camera’s internal components.
Be careful especially when using a tripod or shoulder strap. When you are not using the camera or viewfinder,
make sure to attach the lens cap to the lens and the viewfinder cap to the viewfinder.
• Be careful of heat generated by lighting equipment.
• Do not disassemble the camera. If the camera does not function properly, consult qualified service personnel.
• Do not touch the lens contacts on the lens mount. Dirty contacts may cause a poor
contact between the camera and the lens resulting in incorrect operation of the
camera. After removing the lens, make sure to attach the body cap to the lens mount
and the lens cap and dust cap to the lens.
• Handle the camera with care. Do not subject the camera to shocks or vibration as this
may cause damage. When using the shoulder strap, do not allow the camera to swing
and hit an object.
Long-term storage
If you do not intend to use the camera for a long time, store it in a place free of dust, in low humidity, and at
temperatures not higher than 30 °C (86 °F).
