Handling Precautions
• Do not block shutter curtain operation with your finger or other objects.
Doing so may cause a malfunction. I
• Use only a commercially available blower to blow away dust on the
lens, viewfinder, or other parts. Do not use cleaners that contain organic
solvents to clean the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, take the
camera to the nearest Canon Service Center.
• Do not touch the camera's electrical contacts with your fingers. This is
to prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause
camera malfunction.
• If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room,
condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent
condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust
to the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.
• If condensation forms on the camera, to avoid damage, do not use the
camera or remove the lens, card, or battery.
Turn the camera off and wait until the moisture has fully evaporated
before resuming use.
Even after the camera is completely dry, if it is still internally cold, do not
remove the lens, card, or battery until the camera has adjusted to the
ambient temperature.
• If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery
and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while
the camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a
while to check that the camera is still working.
• Avoid storing the camera where there are chemicals that result in rust
and corrosion such as in a chemical lab.
• If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its
functions before using it. If you have not used the camera for some time
or if there is an important shoot such as a foreign trip coming up, have
the camera checked by your nearest Canon Service Center or check the
camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.
• The camera may become hot after repeated continuous shooting or still
photo/movie shooting over an extended period. This is not a malfunction.
• If there is a bright light source inside or outside the image area, ghosting
may occur.
