Cautions When Using this Waterproof, Dustproof, and Shock Resistant Camera

Cautions After Using This Camera and Camera Care
Attempting to wipe sand or dirt directly off the camera's surface may
cause scratches.
If the camera is dirty, or if you have been
using it in water, wash it completely with fresh
water (e.g. tap water below 30 °C (86 °F)) as
soon as possible. After using this camera at
the beach it is recommended that you soak
the camera in fresh water for a few hours in
order to completely remove any salt deposits.
Be sure the memory card / battery and
terminal covers are fully closed in order to
prevent water from getting inside the camera.
After washing the camera, dry it completely by wiping it with a soft, dry
cloth. Allowing salt to remain on the camera for long periods of time could
cause the metal parts to rust or cause the buttons to stick. After washing
and drying the camera, check that the buttons are functioning normally.
Do not use any chemicals to clean the camera. Also, do not use silicon
grease on the waterproof seals. (Silicon grease is used on waterproof
cases for other cameras.) This may cause damage or water leakage.
Before storing your camera, be sure that there is no sand or other foreign
objects on the waterproof seals. Foreign objects could degrade the seal
and cause water leakage and damage to the camera.
About the Waterproof Seals
Scratches or cracks in the waterproof seals could cause damage or leaks.
Contact the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk for immediate
repair. The waterproof seal will be replaced on a chargeable basis.
