You can enjoy using this camera in the rain, on the beach, while skiing, or
underwater within a depth of 10 m (33 ft.). However, it can not be used in hot
springs or other mineralized waters. Please be aware that Canon is not
liable for any damage to the camera, batteries, memory cards, or saved data
caused by water leakage due to mistaken operation of the product.
This camera is subjected to Canon standard testing. However, it is not
guaranteed that this camera will not damage or malfunction. (For more
information about waterproof, dustproof, and shock resistant specifications,
see p.157)

Cautions Before Using This Camera

Be sure the memory card/battery and the terminal covers are fully closed.
If either of the covers are not fully closed while the camera is wet, water
may get inside the camera and cause damage (p. 19).
Be sure that the waterproof seals inside the covers and the areas around
them are kept free from scratches and foreign objects such as sand, dirt,
or hair. Not doing so may result in leaks (pp. 18, 30). If the waterproof seal
is damaged, do not use the camera underwater.
Avoid opening and closing the covers while on the beach or near water.
Change memory cards and batteries in a dry place protected from sea
breezes.
Do not open the covers if the camera is wet. If there is moisture on the
camera, wipe it off with a soft, dry cloth until it is completely dry.

Cautions While Using This Camera

Do not use this camera in water deeper than 10 m (33 ft.).
Do not expose the camera to strong impacts or shocks while underwater.
Impacts could cause the covers to open or otherwise compromise the
waterproof ability of the camera.
This camera is deemed shock resistant by Canon standard testing
(p.157). However, strong impacts could scratch the camera or cause it to
malfunction. Do not allow the camera to fall a great distance or expose it
to excessive shocks.
