Safety Precautions

zBefore using the camera, please ensure that you have read and understood the safety precautions described below. Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly.

zThe safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to instruct you in the safe and correct operation of the camera and its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to yourself, other persons and equipment.

zIn the next few pages, the term “equipment” refers primarily to the camera and its power supply accessories (see the System Map for power supply accessory details).

WARNINGS

zDo not aim the camera directly into the sun or at other intense light sources which could damage your eyesight.

zDo not trigger the flash in close proximity to human or animal eyes. Exposure to the intense light produced by the flash may damage eyesight. In particular, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away from infants when using the flash.

zStore this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. Accidental damage to the camera or batteries by a child could result in serious injury. In addition, placement of the strap around a child's neck could result in asphyxiation.

zDo not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is not expressly described in this guide. Disassembly or alteration may result in high-voltage electrical shock. Internal inspections, alterations and repairs should be conducted by qualified service personnel authorized by your camera distributor or a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

zTo avoid the risk of high-voltage electrical shock, do not touch the flash portion of the camera if it has been damaged. Similarly, never touch internal portions of the equipment that become exposed as a result of damage. There is a risk of high-voltage electrical shock. Please take the first opportunity to consult your camera distributor or a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
