Handling and Safety Precautions

Please read the handling and safety precautions that appear in the following pages of this guide

and the PowerShot A50 Software Starter Guide. When you read through the remaining pages, we

recommend that you have the camera at hand to try each function as you read about the correct

handling procedures.

Please Read

Test Shots

Before you shoot images of subjects of importance to you, we highly recommend that you shoot

several trial images to confirm that you are operating the camera correctly. Please note that

Canon Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliates, and distributors of its digital cameras are not liable for

any consequential damages arising from any malfunction of a PowerShot camera or

CompactFlash™ card (CF card) that results in the failure of an image to be recorded or to be

recorded in a format that is machine sensible.

Warning Against Copyright Infringement

Please note that PowerShot digital cameras are intended for personal use and should never be

used in a manner that infringes upon or contravenes international or domestic copyright laws

and regulations. Please be advised that in certain cases the copying of images from perfor-

mances, exhibitions, or commercial properties by means of a camera or other device may

contravene copyright or other legal rights even if the image was shot for personal use.

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.

•In the next few pages, the term “equipment” refers primarily to the camera and its power

supply accessories.

Warnings

• Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or at other intense light sources that could injure your

eyesight.

• Do not trigger the optional flash in close proximity to human or animal eyes. Exposure to the intense

light produced by the flash may injure eyesight. In particular, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away

from infants when using the flash.

• Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. Accidental damage to the camera or

batteries by a child could result in serious injury. In addition, placement of the strap around the child’s

neck could result in suffocation.

• Be particularly careful to keep the button batteries (CR2016 lithium) used in the camera out of the reach

of children. Seek medical assistance immediately if a child swallows a battery.

• Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzene or thinners or other flammable substances on the

equipment. The use of these substances may lead to fire or electrical shock.
