    Information
    •	 Take and review some test shots initially to make sure the images were 
    recorded 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 memory 
    cards, that result in the failure of an image to be recorded or to be 
    recorded in a way that is machine readable.
    •	 Images recorded by the camera are intended for personal use. Refrain 
    from unauthorized recording that infringes on copyright law, and note that 
    even for personal use, photography may contravene copyright or other 
    legal rights at some performances or exhibitions, or in some commercial \
    settings.
    •	 The camera warranty is valid only in the area of purchase. In case of 
    camera problems while abroad, return to the area of purchase before 
    contacting a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
    •	 Although
    	the	LCD	monitor	and	viewfinder	are	produced	under	extremely	high-precision manufacturing conditions and more than 99.99% of the 
    pixels	meet	design	specifications,	in	rare	cases	some	pixels	may	be	defective or may appear as red or black dots. This does not indicate 
    camera damage or affect recorded images.
    •	 The

    •	 When the camera is used over an extended period, it may become warm. 
    This does not indicate damage.

    •	 Do not allow liquids or foreign objects to enter the camera.
    This	could	result	in	electrical	shock	or	fire.
    If	liquids	or	foreign	objects	come	into	contact	with	the	camera	interior,	immediately turn the camera off and remove the battery pack/batteries.
    If the battery charger (for cameras that use one) becomes wet, unplug \
    it from the outlet and consult your camera retailer or a Canon Customer \
    Support Help Desk.
    •	 Do
    	not	look	through	the	viewfinder	(if	your	model	has	one)	at	bright	light sources, such as the sun on a clear day.
    This could damage your eyesight.
    •	 Use only the recommended battery pack/batteries.
    •	 Do
    	not	place	the	battery	pack/batteries	near	or	in	direct	flame.
    •	 If your camera uses a battery charger, note the following 
    precautions.
    -
     Unplug the power cord periodically, and using a dry cloth, wipe 
    away any dust and dirt that has collected on the plug, the exterior 
    of the power outlet, and the surrounding area.
    -
     Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
    - Do not use the equipment in a manner that exceeds the rated 
    capacity of the electrical outlet or wiring accessories. Do not use if 
    the power cord or plug are damaged, or not fully plugged into the 
    outlet.
    -
     Do not allow dirt or metal objects (such as pins or keys) to contact 
    the terminals or plug.
    The battery pack/batteries may explode or leak, resulting in electrical \
    shock 
    or
    	fire.	This	could	cause	injury	and	damage	the	surroundings.	In	the	event	that a battery pack leaks and the battery electrolyte contacts eyes, mou\
    th, 
    skin	or	clothing,	immediately	flush	with	water.
    •	 Turn the camera off in places where camera use is prohibited.
    The electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the 
    operation
    	of	electronic	instruments	and	other	devices.	Exercise	adequate	caution when using the camera in places where use of electronic devices \
    is 
    restricted, such as inside airplanes and medical facilities.
    CautionDenotes the possibility of injury.
    •	 When holding the camera by the strap, be careful not to bang it, 
    subject it to strong impacts or shocks, or let it get caught on other 
    objects.
    •	 Be careful not to bump or push strongly on the lens.
    This could lead to injury or damage the camera.
    •	 Be careful not to subject the screen to strong impacts.
    If the screen cracks, injury may result from the broken fragments.
    •	 When
    	using	the	flash,	be	careful	not	to	cover	it	with	your	fingers	or	clothing.
    This	could	result	in	burns	or	damage	to	the	flash.
    •	 Avoid using, placing or storing the product in the following places:
    -
     Places subject to direct sunlight
    - Places subject to temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F)
    - Humid or dusty areas
    These could cause leakage, overheating or an explosion of the battery 
    pack/batteries,
    	resulting	in	electrical	shock,	fire,	burns	or	other	injuries.
    High temperatures may deform the product.
    •	 The slideshow transition effects may cause discomfort when viewed

    CautionDenotes	the	possibility	of	damage	to	the	equipment.
    •	 Do not aim the camera at bright light sources (such as the sun on a 
    clear day).
    Doing so may damage the image sensor.
    •	 When using the camera on a beach or at a windy location, be careful 
    not to allow dust or sand to enter the camera.
    •	 On
    	cameras	that	raise	and	lower	the	flash	automatically,	do	not	push	the	flash	down	or	pry	it	open.
    This may cause the product to malfunction.
    •	 In regular use, small amounts of smoke may be emitted from the 
    flash.
    This
    	is	due	to	the	high	intensity	of	the	flash	burning	dust	and	foreign	materials stuck to the front of the unit. Please use a cotton swab to re\
    move 
    dirt,	dust	or	other	foreign	matter	from	the	flash	to	prevent	heat	build-up	and	damage to the unit.
    •	 Remove and store the battery pack/batteries when you are not using 
    the camera.
    If the battery pack or batteries are left inside the camera, damage caus\
    ed 
    by leakage may occur.
    •	 Before you discard the battery pack/batteries, cover the terminals 
    with tape or other insulators.
    Contacting
    	other	metal	materials	may	lead	to	fire	or	explosions.
    •	 If your camera is used with a battery charger, keep the charger 
    unplugged when not in use. When charging the battery pack, do not 
    leave it covered with a cloth or put other objects on it.
    Leaving the unit plugged in for a long period of time may cause it to 
    overheat
    	and	distort,	resulting	in	fire.
    •	 Do not leave the battery pack near pets.
    Pets biting the battery pack could cause leakage, overheating or explosi\
    on, 
    resulting
    	in	fire	or	damage.
    •	 If your camera uses multiple batteries, do not use batteries that have 
    different levels of charge together, do not use old and new batteries 
    together, and do not insert the batteries with the + and – terminals 
    reversed.
    This may cause the product to malfunction.
    •	 Do not sit down with the camera in your pocket.
    Doing so may cause malfunctions or damage the screen.
    •	 When putting the camera in your bag, ensure that hard objects do 
    not come into contact with the screen. Also close the screen (so that 
    it faces the camera body), if your camera has a screen that closes.
    •	 Do not attach any hard objects to the camera.
    Doing so may cause malfunctions or damage the screen.
