Accessories This digital camera is designed to perform optimally when used with genuine Canon brand digital camera accessories (“Canon Brand Accessories”). You may use non Canon Brand Accessories with this Digital camera. However, Canon Makes no warranties concerning, and is not responsible for damages resulting from, use of non Canon Brand Accessories. Camera Body Temperature If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become warm.
Please Read Test Shots Before you shoot images of subjects of importance to you, we strongiy recommend that you shoot severai tria images to confirm that you are operating the camera correctly.
Safety Precautions Before using the camera, please ensure that you have read and understood the safety precautions described below. Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly. The safety precautions noted on the following pages are Intended to Instruct you in the safe and correct operation of the camera and its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to yourself, other persons and equipment.
^WARNINGS ' Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or at other intense light sources which could damage your eyesight.____________________________________________________________________________________ ' Do not trigger the flash in close proximity to human or animal eyes. Exposure to the intense light produced by the flash may damage eyesight. In particular, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away from infants when using the flash.
' stop operating the equipment if it is dropped or the casing is damaged. Faiiure to do so may resuit in fire or eiectricai shock, immediately turn the camera’s power oft, remove the camera batteries and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Please consult your camera distributor or the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
' Do not place the batteries near a heat source or expose them to direct flame or heat. Neither should you immerse them in water. Such exposure may damage the batteries and lead to the leakage of corrosive liquids, fire, electrical shock, explosion or serious injury.______________________________________________ ’ Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the batteries. There is serious risk of Injury due to an explosion.
A CAUTtONS ' Avoid using, piacing or storing the equipment in piaces subject to strong sunlight or high temperatures, such as the dashboard or trunk (boot) of a car. Exposure to intense sunlight and heat may caiise the batteries to leak, overheat or explode, resulting in fire, bums or other injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing. Ensure that there is good ventilation when using the compact power adapter to charge the battery pack or power the camera.
Preventing Malfunctions • Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data. • Avoid Condensation Reiated Problems Moving the equipment rapidiy between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on Its external and internal surfaces.
Installing the Battery and CF Card Insert two (2) AA-sIze alkaline batteries (included with the camera) or two (2) NiMH batteries (sold separately) and insert the CF card. ^ Be sure that the camera power is off. 2 5 Insert the batteries as shown and close the battery cover. (-) Negative end----- ----------------------- (+) Positive end Slide the CF card slot / battery cover and open the battery cover. Insert the CF card as shown. Slide the CF card firmly to the end.
Close the CF card slot / battery cover. o O When the camera's indicator fiashes green, do not turn off the power or open the battery cover. The camera is writing, reading, erasing or trans mitting an image to or from the CF card. Do not perform the following operations as recorded images may be damaged as a result.
O We recommend that you use the optional AC Adapter Kit ACK800 to power the camera during iong usage sessions (p. 99). O The optionai battery charger kit iets you use rechargeabie NiMH batteries to power the camera (p. 96). O For information about the Battery and Charger Kit and AA-size rechargeable NiMH batteries, see the System Map (separate from this guide). O For important information, see "Battery Performance" (p. 109) and "CF Cards and Estimated Capacities (Recordable Images)" (p.110).
Proper Battery Handling Use AA-size Alkaline or Canon AA-size NiMH batteries only. Refer to “Using Rechargeable Batteries" (p. 96) for their handling. Never use manganese or lithium batteries, as these battery types may overheat in the camera. Since the performance of alkaline batteries may differ according to brand, the operating time of the batteries you purchase may not be as long as the batteries that came with the camera.
Never mix unused and partially used batter ies. Always load two fresh (or fully recharged) batteries at the same time. Never mix batteries of different types or from different manufactures. Both batteries should be identical. Before inserting the batteries, wipe the battery terminals well with a dry cloth. Oil from one’s skin or other dirt may cause a consid erable reduction in the number of recordable images or reduced usage time.
If you do not plan to use the camera for a long time, remove the batteries from the camera and store them in a safe piece. Batteries may leak and damage the camera if left installed during prolonged periods of non-use.
A WARNING Never use damaged batteries or batteries whose outer seal is completely or partially missing or peeled off, as there is risk that such batteries may leak, overheat, or burst. Always check the seals on store-bought batter ies before loading them, as some batteries may come with defective seals. Do not use batteries with defec tive seals. Never use batteries that look like this. Batteries with all or part of the seal (electrical insulation sheath) peeled off.
r Battery Status Indications J The LCD monitor displays an icon or message to let you know when batteries are low or depleted. Q] Change the batteries Batteries are beginning to run low. Replace (or recharge) batteries promptly. If the LCD monitor is off, this icon will appear when voupress any of the following buttons:», Ql / Cd, tS / i& SET, DISPorga/WB/®. Batteries are fully depleted and the camera can no longer operate. Replace the batteries immediately.
About CF Cards CF cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend them, appiy force to them, or subject them to shocks or vibration. Do not attempt to disassemble or alter a CF card. Moving a CF card rapidly between tempera ture extremes will cause condensation to form in the card and lead to a malfunction. To avoid condensation, piace the CF card in a seaied piastic bag before moving it into a different temperature zone and ailow it to adjust siowly to the new temperature.
