Handling Precautions
Smudges on the Image Sensor
• Besides dust entering the camera from outside, in rare cases, lubricant I
from the camera's internal parts may adhere to the front of the sensor. If
smudges are visible on images, have the sensor cleaned by a nearest
Canon Service Center.
Battery
Tips for using the battery and charger
• Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location.
• When storing the battery for extended periods, charge it about once a
year.
• When charging the battery, aim to charge it to approx. 50% instead of
fully charging it ({JJ49).
• At room temperature (23°C/73°F), it takes approx. 60 min. to charge
a depleted battery to about approx. 50%. Battery charging time varies
greatly depending on ambient temperature.
• If the battery is not used for an extended period, the trace amount of
current that continues to flow inside the battery when it is removed from
the camera may eventually lead to over-discharge and prevent further
use, even after charging.
