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. 156).

Charging the Date/Time Battery

• The camera has a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion 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 for at least 4 hours to charge

the date/time battery. It will charge even when the camera power is turned

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.

Test Shots

Before you try to photograph important subjects, we highly recommend that

you shoot several trial images to confirm that the camera is operating and

being operated correctly.

Please note that Canon Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliates, and its

distributors are not liable for any consequential damages arising from any

malfunction of a camera or accessory, including SD memory cards, that

results in the failure of an image to be recorded or to be recorded in a way

that is machine readable.

Warning Against Copyright Infringement

Please note that Canon 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 performances, 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.

Warranty Limitations

This camera’s warranty is only effective in the country of sale. If a problem

arises while the camera is in use abroad, please convey it back to the

country of sale before proceeding with a warranty claim to a Canon

Customer Support Help Desk.

For Canon Customer Support contacts, please see the Canon Limited

Warranty supplied with your camera.

Safety Precautions

• Before using the camera, please ensure that you read and understand 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, such as the battery charger and

separately sold compact power adapter. See the System Map for power

supply accessory details.

Warnings

• Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or at other intense light

sources that 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.

•Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. Accidental

damage to the camera or battery pack 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.

Storing SD cards

Store the SD memory card out of the reach of children and infants.

It may be swallowed accidentally. If this occurs, consult a doctor

immediately.

•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 power off, remove the battery pack or unplug the battery

charger 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 power off, remove the battery pack or unplug the power cable

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

closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

•Do not allow the equipment to come into contact with, or become

immersed in, water or other liquids. Do not allow liquids to enter the

interior. The camera has not been waterproofed. If the exterior comes into

contact with liquids or salt air, wipe it dry with a soft, absorbent cloth. If

water or other foreign substances enter the interior, immediately turn the

camera power off and remove the camera battery pack or unplug the

power cord from the power outlet. Continued use of the equipment may

result in fire or electrical shock. Please consult your camera distributor or

the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

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

flammable substances to clean or maintain the equipment. The use of

these substances may lead to fire.

•Remove the power cord on a regular periodic basis and wipe away the

dust and dirt that collects on the plug, the exterior of the power outlet

and the surrounding area. In dusty, humid or greasy environments, the

dust that collects around the plug over long periods of time may become

saturated with humidity and short-circuit, leading to fire.
