ƒƐƐƓஉƑƑרƑƙý࣏ෙýؽعƓݰƑƔಠ Safety Warnings Follow these safeguards and use the equipment properly to prevent injury, death, and material damage. Preventing Serious Injury or Death • To prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, and explosions, follow the safeguards below: - Do not use any batteries, power sources, and accessories not specified in this booklet. Do not use any home-made or modified batteries. - Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery pack or back-up battery. Do not apply heat or apply solder to the battery pack or back-up battery. Do not expose the battery pack or back-up battery to fire or water. And do not subject the battery pack or back-up battery to strong physical shock. - Do not install the battery pack or back-up battery in reversed polarity (+ –). Do not mix new and old or different types of batteries. - Do not recharge the battery pack outside the allowable ambient temperature range of 0°C - 40°C (32°F - 104°F). Also, do not exceed the recharging time. - Do not insert any foreign metallic objects into the electrical contacts of the camera, accessories, connecting cables, etc. • Keep the back-up battery away from children. If a child swallows the battery, consult a physician immediately. (Battery chemicals may harm the stomach and intestines.) • When disposing of a battery pack or back-up battery, insulate the electrical contacts with tape to prevent contact with other metallic objects or batteries. This is to prevent fire or an explosion. • If excessive heat, smoke, or fumes are emitted during battery pack recharging, immediately unplug the battery charger from the power outlet to stop the recharging and prevent a fire. • If the battery pack or back-up battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or fumes, remove it immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process. • Prevent any battery leakage from contacting your eyes, skin, and clothing. It can cause blindness or skin problems. If the battery leakage contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing, flush the affected area with lots of clean water without rubbing it. See a physician immediately. • During the recharging, keep the equipment away from the reach of children. The cord can accidentally choke the child or give an electrical shock. • Do not leave any cords near a heat source. It can deform the cord or melt the insulation and cause a fire or electrical shock. • Do not fire the flash at someone driving a car. It may cause an accident. • Do not fire the flash near a person’s eyes. It may impair the person’s vision. When using flash to photograph an infant, keep at least 1 meter away. • Before storing the camera or accessory when not in use, remove the battery pack and disconnect the power plug. This is to prevent electrical shock, heat generation, and fire. • Do not use the equipment where there is flammable gas. This is to prevent an explosion or fire. 6 F11]QCA..,dk 5 ɚĘȸ ƒƐƐƓஉƑƑרƑƙý࣏ෙýؽعƓݰƑƔಠ • If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts, do not touch the internal parts due to the possibility of electrical shock. • Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. High-voltage internal parts can cause electrical shock. • Do not look at the sun or an extremely bright light source through the camera or lens. Doing so may damage your vision. • Keep the camera from the reach of small children. The neck strap can accidentally choke the child. • Do not store the equipment in dusty or humid places. This is to prevent fire and electrical shock. • Before using the camera inside an airplane or hospital, check if it is allowed. Electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the plane’s instruments or the hospital’s medical equipment. • To prevent fire and electrical shock, follow the safeguards below: - Always insert the power plug all the way in. - Do not handle a power plug with wet hands. - When unplugging a power plug, grasp and pull the plug instead of the cord. - Do not scratch, cut, or excessively bend the cord or put a heavy object on the cord. Also do not twist or tie the cords. - Do not connect too many power plugs to the same power outlet. - Do not use a cord whose insulation has been damaged. • Occasionally unplug the power plug and use a dry cloth to clean off the dust around the power outlet. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power outlet may become moist and short-circuit the outlet to cause a fire. Preventing Injury or Equipment Damage • Do not leave equipment inside a car under the hot sun or near a heat source. The equipment may become hot and cause skin burns. • Do not carry the camera around while it is attached to a tripod. Doing so may cause injury. Also make sure the tripod is sturdy enough to support the camera and lens. • Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera under the sun without the lens cap attached. Otherwise, the lens may concentrate the sun’s rays and cause a fire. • Do not cover or wrap the battery-recharging apparatus with a cloth. Doing so may trap heat within and cause the casing to deform or catch fire. • If you drop the camera in water or if water or metal fragments enter inside the camera, promptly remove the battery pack and back-up battery. This is to prevent fire and electrical shock. • Do not use or leave the battery pack or back-up battery in a hot environment. Doing so may cause battery leakage or a shorter battery life. The battery pack or back-up battery can also become hot and cause skin burns. • Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the equipment. Doing so may cause fire or a health hazard. If the product does not work properly or requires repair, contact your dealer or your nearest Canon Service Center. 7 F11]QCA..,dk 6 ɚĘȸ ƒƐƐƓஉƑƑרƑƙý࣏ෙýؽعƓݰƑƔಠ Handling Precautions Camera Care ¡ This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical shock. ¡ The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If the camera gets wet, remove the battery and promptly take it to the nearest Canon dealer. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe with a well-wrung wet cloth. ¡ Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field such as a magnet or electric motor. Also avoid using or leaving the camera near anything emitting strong radio waves such as a large antenna. Strong magnetic fields and radio waves can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data. ¡ Do not leave the camera in excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction. ¡ The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to disassemble the camera yourself. ¡ Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, mirror, and focusing screen. Do not use cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, consult your nearest Canon dealer. ¡ Do not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your fingers. This is to prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause camera misoperation. ¡ If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room, condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag. ¡ If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid damaging the camera. Remove the lens, memory card, and battery and wait until the condensation evaporates. ¡ If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while the camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a while to check that the camera is still working. ¡ Avoid storing the camera where there are corrosive chemicals such as a darkroom or chemical lab. ¡ If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions before using the camera. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is an important shoot coming up, have the camera checked by your Canon dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly. 8 F11]QCA..,dk 7 ɚĘȸ ƒƐƐƓஉƑƑרƑƙý࣏ෙýؽعƓݰƑƔಠ LCD Panels and LCD Monitor ¡ Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision technology with over 99. 99% active pixels, there might be a few dead pixels among the remaining 0. 01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying only black or red, etc. , are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded. ¡ At low temperatures, the liquid-crystal display response may become slower. And at high temperatures, the display may blacken. In either case, the display will return to normal at room temperature. Memory Cards ¡ Memory cards are precision devices. Do not drop the memory card or subject it to vibration. Physical shock or vibration may destroy the images recorded in the card. ¡ Do not store or use a memory card near anything having a strong magnetic field such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet or in places prone to having static electricity. Such environments may destroy the images recorded on the card. ¡ Do not leave memory cards in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Heat can deform the cards and render them unusable. ¡ Do not spill any liquids on the memory card. ¡ To protect the recorded image data, always store the memory card in a case. ¡ Some non-Canon memory cards may not be able to record and playback images. In such a case, use a memory card made by Canon. ¡ Do not bend the card or subject it to any excessive force or physical shock. ¡ Do not store memory cards in hot, dusty, or humid locations. Lens Electrical Contacts After detaching the lens from the camera, attach the lens caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts. Contacts Cautions for Prolonged Use qIf the <4> switch is left <1> for a prolonged period, the camera may become hot.
