Camera Care This camera is a precision  instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical 
shock.
  The camera is not waterproof and ca nnot be used underwater. If you 
accidentally drop the cam era into water, promptly consult the nearest Canon 
Service Center. Wipe off an y water droplets with a dry and clean cloth. If the 
camera has been exposed to  salty air, wipe it with a well-wrung wet cloth.
  Never leave the camera near anything  having a strong magnetic field such 
as a magnet or electric  motor. Also avoid using or  leaving the camera near 
anything emitting strong  radio waves, such as a large antenna. Strong 
magnetic fields can cause camera misoperation  or destroy image data.
  Do not leave the camera in excessive  heat, such as in a car in direct 
sunlight. High te mperatures can cause the  camera to malfunction.
  The camera contains precision electr onic circuitry. Never attempt to 
disassemble the camera yourself.
  Do not block the mirror op eration with your finger, etc. Doing so may cause a 
malfunction.
  Use a blower to blow away  dust on the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirror, and 
focusing screen. Do not use cleaners that contain org anic solvents to clean 
the camera body or lens.  For stubborn dirt, take the camera to the nearest 
Canon Service Center.
 
Do not touch the camera’s electrical contac ts with your fingers. This is to prevent 
the contacts from corroding. Corroded c ontacts can cause camera misoperation.
 If the camera is suddenly  brought in from the cold into a warm room, 
condensation may form on  the camera and internal parts. To prevent 
condensation, first pu t the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to 
the warmer temperature before  taking it out of the bag.
  If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid 
damaging the camera. If  there is condensation, remove the lens, card and 
battery from the camera, and wait until  condensation has evaporated before 
using the camera.
  If the camera will not be  used for an extended period, remove the battery 
and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated locati on. Even while the 
camera is in storage, pr ess the shutter button a few times once in a while to 
check that the camera is still working.
  Avoid storing the camera where there ar e chemicals that result in rust and 
corrosion such as in a chemical lab.
  If the camera has not been  used for an extended period, test all its functions 
before using it. If  you have not used the  camera for some time or if there is 
an important shoot such  as a foreign trip coming up, have the camera 
checked by your Canon de aler or check the camera yourself and make sure 
it is working properly.
