Equipment

•This camera is a high-precision electronic device. Do not allow it to fall a
great distance or subject it to excessive impacts.
•Never place the camera close to magnets or motors that generate strong
electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause
malfunctions or corrupt image data.
•If water droplets have fallen or dirt is stuck on the camera or LCD monitor,
wipe with a dry soft cloth or eyeglass wiper. Do not rub or apply force.
•Never use cleaners containing organic solvents to wipe the camera or
LCD monitor.
•Use a commercially available blower brush to remove dust from the lens.
For stubborn dirt contact the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk
as listed on the customer support leaflet supplied with your camera.
•When you move the camera rapidly from cold to hot temperatures,
condensation may form on the internal or external surfaces of the camera.
To avoid condensation, put the camera in an airtight, resealable plastic
bag and let it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it
from the bag.
•If condensation has occurred, opening the memory card/battery cover or
terminal cover could cause damage. Do not open the covers until the
moisture has completely evaporated.

Memory Cards

•A memory card is a high-precision electronic device. Do not bend, apply
force or subject it to strong impacts. Doing so may corrupt image data
recorded on the memory card.
•
Do not spill liquids on the memory card. Do not touch the memory card’s
terminals with your hands or metallic objects.
•Do not store memory cards near a TV, speakers or other devices that
generate magnetic fields or static electricity. Doing so may corrupt image
data recorded on the memory card.
