179 Appendix Safety Precautions z Before using the camera, please ensure that you read the safety precautions described below and in the “Safety Precautions” section. Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly. z 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.
180 z Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is not expressly described in this guide. z To avoid the risk of high-voltage electrical shock, do not touch the flash portion of the camera if it has been damaged. z Stop operating the equipment immediately if it emits smoke or noxious fumes. z Do not allow the equipment to come into contact with, or become immersed in, water or other liquids.
181 Battery z Do not place the batteries near a heat source or expose it to direct flame or heat. z The batteries should not be immersed in water or sea water. z Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the batteries. z Avoid dropping or subjecting the batteries to severe impacts that could damage the casing. z Use only recommended batteries and accessories. Failure to follow these precautions may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the surroundings.
182 z Disconnect the battery charger and compact power adapter from both the camera and the power outlet after recharging or when 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 When recharging the Canon AA-size NiMH batteries, use only a specified battery charger.
183 Cautions Equipment z Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong impacts or shocks that could lead to injury or damage the equipment 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. z Be careful not to allow dust or sand into the camera when using it at a beach or place with strong winds. Such conditions could lead to damage.
184 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. z Do not touch the surface of the flash after taking several pictures in rapid succession. Doing so could result in burns.
185 Preventing Malfunctions Camera Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields z 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.
186 z Never mix unused and partially used batteries. The partially used batteries may leak. z Do not install the batteries with their terminals ( reversed. and ) z Do not mix batteries of different types or from different manufacturers. z Before installing the batteries, wipe the battery terminals well with a dry cloth.
187 z Memory cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend them, apply force to them, or subject them to shocks or vibration. z Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the memory card. z Do not allow dirt, water or foreign objects to contact the terminals on the back of the memory card. Do not touch the terminals with your hands or metal objects. z Do not peel away the original label on the memory card or cover it with another label or sticker.
188 z Be careful when transferring or disposing of a memory card. Formatting or erasing the data on a memory card merely changes the file management information on the memory card and does not ensure that its contents are completely deleted. When disposing of a memory card, take precautions, such as physically destroying the memory card, to prevent personal information leaks. LCD Monitor z Do not sit in a chair with the camera in your pocket. Doing so may cause malfunction or damage the LCD monitor.
189 Using the Power Kits (Sold Separately) Using Rechargeable Batteries (Battery and Charger Kit CBK4-300) This kit includes a battery charger and four rechargeable AA-size NiMH (nickel metal hydride) batteries. Charge batteries as shown below. To a power outlet 4 batteries To a power outlet Y P O Charge Indicator 2 batteries C z The CB-5AH/CB-5AHE battery charger can only be used to charge Canon AA-size NiMH batteries NB-3AH.
190 z Do not recharge the batteries until the LCD monitor displays z z z z z the “Change the batteries” message. Repeatedly recharging batteries before they become depleted may cause batteries to lose capacity.
191 z It takes approximately 4 hours 40 minutes for the charger to fully recharge the batteries after they have been depleted. When two batteries are placed on each side of the charger, recharging will take approximately two hours (as determined by testing at Canon facilities). Charge batteries in an environment where the temperature is in the range of 0 to 35°C (32 to 95°F). z The charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and to the battery charge state.
192 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. C Y P O Tripod Sockets Bracket (Comes with the flash) z The High-Power Flash will not fire under the following circumstances.
193 z The flash may fire if another flash is being used in close proximity. z The High-Power Flash may not fire outdoors in daylight or when there are no reflective items. z For continuous shooting, although the flash fires for the first shot, it does not fire for subsequent shots. z Fasten the attachment screws securely so that they do not loosen. Failure to do so may lead to the dropping of the camera and flash resulting in damage to both.
194 Replacing the Date Battery If the Date/Time in the Set up menu appears when the camera power is turned on, the date battery charge is low and the date and time setting have been lost. Please purchase a lithium coin battery (CR1220) and replace it as follows. The date battery is preinstalled at the factory and may therefore expire earlier than its rated lifespan after the camera has been purchased. Be particularly careful to keep the date batteries out of the reach of children.
195 4 5 6 7 Remove the battery by pulling it up in the direction indicated by the arrow. Insert a new battery with the (–) side facing up. (–) side Replace the battery holder. When the Date/Time menu appears, set the date and time (p. 13). Y P O After purchasing the camera and turning on the power for the first time, although the Date/Time menu will appear, you do not need to replace the date battery.
196 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 Y P O 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.
