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 for prolonged periods. • When using optional lenses, lens filters, or filter adapters (if applicable), be sure to attach these accessories firmly. If the lens becomes loose and falls off, it may crack, and the shards of glass may lead to cuts. • On cameras that raise and lower the flash automatically, make sure your finger is out of the way when the flash is lowered, to avoid pinching it. This could result in injury.

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.
