Precautions

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.

Flowchart and Reference Guides

Camera Body Temperature

If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may

become warm. Please be aware of this and take care when operating

the camera for an extended period.

About the LCD Monitor

The LCD monitor is produced with extremely high-precision

manufacturing techniques. More than 99.99% of the pixels operate

to specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally

misfire or appear as red or black dots. This has no effect on the

recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.

Video Format

Please set the camera’s video signal format to the one used in your

region before using it with a TV monitor (p. 121).

Charging the Date/ Time Battery

• The camera has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery that maintains

the date, time and other camera settings. This battery recharges when

the main battery pack is inserted into the camera. When you first

purchase the camera, place a charged battery pack in it or use the AC

adapter kit (sold separately) for at least 4 hours to charge the date/time

battery. It will charge even when the camera power is set to Off.

• If the Date / Time menu appears when the camera power is turned on,

it means that the date/time battery charge is depleted. Recharge it as

described above.

or to be recorded in a format that is machine readable.

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 performances, exhibitions, or

commercial properties by means of a camera or other device may contravene

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 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 asphyxiation.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is

not expressly described in this guide. Disassembly or alteration may result

in high-voltage electrical shock. Internal inspections, alterations and

repairs should be conducted by qualified service personnel authorized by

your camera distributor or a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

• To avoid the risk of high-voltage electrical shock, do not touch the flash

portion of the camera if it has been damaged. Similarly, never touch

internal portions of the equipment that become exposed as a result of

damage. There is a risk of high-voltage electrical shock. Please take the

first opportunity to consult your camera distributor or the closest Canon

Customer Support Help Desk.

• Stop operating the equipment immediately if it emits smoke or noxious

fumes. Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately

turn the camera’s power off, remove the camera battery or unplug the

power cable from the power outlet. Confirm that smoke or fume

emissions have ceased. Please consult your camera distributor or the

closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

• Stop operating the equipment if it is dropped or the casing is damaged.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately turn the

camera’s power off, remove the camera battery or unplug the power

cable from the power outlet. Please consult your camera distributor or

the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
