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 any water drop lets with a dry cloth. If the camera 
has been exposed to salt y 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 wave s 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 temperatures  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 cont acts with your fingers. This is to 
prevent the contacts from  corroding. Corroded contacts 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  are corrosive chemicals such as a 
darkroom or 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 coming up, have the camera checke d by your Canon 
dealer or check the camera  yourself and make sure it is working properly.
Handling Precautions

Handling Precautions
LCD Monitor Although the LCD monito r is manufactured with very high precision 
technology with over 99.99% effective  pixels, there may be a few dead pixels 
among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels . Dead pixels displaying only black 
or red, etc., are not a ma lfunction. They do not affect the images recorded.
  If the LCD monitor is left  on for a prolonged period,  screen burn-in may occur 
where you see remnants of  what was displayed. However, this is only 
temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unus ed for a few days.
  The LCD monitor display may seem slow  in low temperatures, or look black 
in high temperat ures. It will return  to normal at room temperature.
CardsTo protect the card and its reco rded data, note the following:
  Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do  not subject it to excessive force, 
physical shock,  or vibration.
  Do not touch the card’s electronic cont acts with your fingers or anything 
metallic.
  Do not affix any sticke rs, etc., on the card.
  Do not store or use the card near anyt hing having a strong magnetic field 
such as a TV set, speakers , or magnet. Also avoid places prone to having 
static electricity.
  Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or  near a heat source.
  Store the card in a case.
  Do not store the ca rd in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
LensAfter detaching the lens from  the camera, put down the 
lens with the rear end up an d attach the lens caps to 
avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.
Cautions regarding Prolonged UseIf you use continuous shooti ng, Live View shooting, or 
movie shooting for a prolon ged period, the camera may 
become hot. Although this is  not a malfunction, holding 
the hot camera for a long pe riod can cause slight skin 
burns.
About smudges adhering to the front of the sensorBesides dust entering the ca mera from outside, in rare cases lubricant from the 
camera’s internal parts may ad here to the front of the sensor. If visible spots still 
remain after the automatic sensor clea ning, having the sensor cleaned by a 
Canon Service Center is recommended.
