zBefore you discard a battery, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators to prevent direct
contact with other objects. Contact with the metallic components of other materials in waste
containers may lead to fire or explosions. Discard the batteries in specialized waste facilities if available
in your area.
zUse only recommended batteries and accessories. Use of batteries not expressly recommended for
this equipment may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the surroundings.
zIf using AA-size NiMH batteries, use only Canon AA-size NiMH batteries and the charger
recommended for use with these batteries. Use of another charger may cause batteries to overheat
or deform, posing risk of fire or electric shock.
zDisconnect the battery charger or compact power adapter from both the camera and power
outlet after recharging and when the camera is not in use to avoid fires and other hazards.
Continuous use over a long period may cause a unit to overheat and distort, resulting in fire.
zThe camera terminal of the compact power adapter is designed for exclusive use with your
camera. Do not use it with other products or batteries. There is a risk of fire and other hazards.
zExercise due caution when screwing on the separately sold wide converter, tele-converter,
close-up lens and conversion lens adapter. If they loosen, fall off and shatter, the glass shards may
cause an injury.
Caution about magnetic fields
Keep objects that are sensitive to magnetic fields (such as credit cards) away from the speaker of the
camera (p.12). Such items may lose data or stop working.
