192 Appendix Safety Precautions • Before using the camera, please ensure that you read 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. • Equipment refers to the camera, battery charger or separately sold compact power adapter.
193 z Do not allow the equipment to come into contact with, or become immersed in, water or other liquids. If the exterior comes into contact with liquids or salt air, wipe it dry with a soft, absorbent cloth. Continued use of the equipment may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately turn the camera power off and remove the camera battery or unplug the battery charger or compact power adapter from the power outlet.
194 z Disconnect the battery charger and compact power adapter from both the camera and the power outlet after recharging or when they are not in use to avoid fire and other hazards. z Do not place anything, such as tablecloths, carpets, bedding or cushions, on top of the battery charger while it is charging. Leaving the units plugged in for a long period of time may cause them to overheat and distort, resulting in fire. z Use only the specified battery charger to charge the battery.
195 Cautions Equipment z Do not sit on a chair while stuffing your camera in the back pocket of your pants or skirt. Doing so may cause malfunction or damage the LCD monitor. z Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong impacts or shocks when wearing or holding it by the strap. z Be careful not to bump or strongly push the end of the lens. The above-mentioned could lead to injury or damage the equipment.
196 z Do not connect compact power adapters or battery chargers to devices such as electrical transformers for foreign travel because it may lead to malfunctions, excessive heat generation, fire, electric shock or injury. Flash z Do not operate the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to the surface of the flash. z Be careful not to cover the flash with your fingers or clothing when shooting. The flash may be damaged and emit smoke or noise. The resulting heat build-up could damage the flash.
197 z At low temperatures, battery performance may be reduced and the remaining battery charge icon (blinks red) may appear earlier than usual. Under these conditions, revive the battery by warming it in a pocket immediately before use. z However, ensure that there are no metallic items in the pocket that could cause a short circuit, such as a key ring, etc. The battery may be short circuiting. z Do not allow any metal objects such as key rings to touch the ( ) and ( ) terminals (Fig. A).
198 z Since this is a lithium-ion battery, you need not discharge it before recharging. z You are advised to charge the battery on the day of use, or one day before, to ensure a full charge. • Even charged batteries continue to discharge naturally. z It takes approximately 1 hour 55 minutes to fully charge the battery from a depleted state (based on Canon’s testing standards). • Charging it within a temperature range of 5 – 40 °C (41 – 104 °F) is recommended.
199 z When writing on the memory card, do not use a pencil or ballpoint pen. Only use a soft point pen (e.g. felt-tip pen). z Do not use or store memory cards in the following locations. • Locations subject to dust or sand • Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures z Since some or all of the data recorded on the memory card may be corrupted or erased by electrical noise, static electricity, camera or memory card malfunction, making a backup copy of important data is recommended.
200 Using an AC Adapter Kit (Sold Separately) It is best to power the camera with AC Adapter Kit ACK-DC40 (sold separately) when you are using it for long periods of time or connecting it to a computer. Turn the camera power off before connecting or disconnecting the AC adapter. 1 Connect the power cord to the compact power adapter first and then plug the other end into the power outlet.
201 Using an Externally Mounted Flash (Sold Separately) High-Power Flash HF-DC1 This flash is used to supplement the camera’s built-in flash when the subject is too far away for proper illumination. Use the following procedures to affix the camera and High-Power Flash to the supporting bracket. Please read the instructions accompanying the flash along with this explanation. Tripod Sockets z The flash charge time will lengthen as the battery charge gets weaker.
202 z Before attaching the bracket to the flash, check that the lithium battery (CR123A or DL123) is installed. z To illuminate the subjects properly, install the flash so that it is up against the side of the camera and parallel with the camera’s front panel. z A tripod can be used even when the flash is attached. Batteries • Charge becomes Severely Limited If the battery usage time has considerably diminished, wipe the battery terminals well with a dry cloth. The terminals may be dirty from fingerprints.
203 Camera Care and Maintenance Never use thinners, benzine, detergents or water to clean the camera. These substances may distort or damage the equipment. Camera Body Gently wipe dirt off the camera body with a soft cloth or eyeglass lens wiper. Lens First use a lens blower brush to remove dust and dirt, then remove any remaining dirt by wiping the lens lightly with a soft cloth. Never use organic solvents on the camera body or lens.
