Safety Precautions
When the camera or accessories are not in use, make sure to remove the battery, 
and disconnect the power plug and connecting cables from the equipment before 
storing. This is to prevent electrical shock, excessive heat, fire, and corrosion.
 Do not use the equipment where there is flammable gas. This is to prevent an 
explosion or a fire.
 If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts, 
do not touch the exposed internal parts. There is a possibility of an electrical shock.
 Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. High-voltage internal parts can cause 
electrical shock.
 Do not look at the sun or an extremely bright light source through the camera or 
lens. Doing so may damage your vision.

Keep equipment out of the reach of children and infants, including when in use. Straps 
or cords may accidentally cause choking, electrical shock, or injury. Choking or injury 
may also occur if a child or infant accidentally swallows a camera part or accessory. If 
a child or infant swallows a part or accessory, consult a physician immediately.
Do not use or store the equipment in dusty or humid places. Likewise, keep the battery 
away from metallic items and store it with its protective cover attached to prevent 
short-circuit. This is to prevent fire, excessive heat, electrical shock, and burns.
 Before using the camera inside an airplane or hospital, check if it is allowed. 
Electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the plane’s 
instruments or the hospital’s medical equipment.
 To prevent a fire and electrical shock, follow the safeguards below:
• Always insert the power plug all the way in.
• Do not handle a power plug with wet hands.
• When unplugging a power plug, grasp and pull the plug instead of the cord.
• Do not scratch, cut, or excessively bend the cord or put a heavy object on the 
cord. Also, do not twist or tie the cords.
• Do not connect too many power plugs to the same power outlet.
• Do not use a cord whose wire is broken or insulation is damaged.
 Unplug the power plug periodically and clean off the dust around the power outlet 
with a dry cloth. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power 
outlet may become moist and short-circuit the outlet, causing a fire.
 Do not connect the battery directly to an electrical outlet or a car’s cigarette lighter 
outlet. The battery may leak, generate excessive heat or explode, causing fire, 
burns, or injuries.
 A thorough explanation of how to use the product by an adult is required when the 
product is used by children. Supervise children while they are using the product. 
Incorrect usage may result in electrical shock or injury.
 Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera in the sun without the lens cap 
attached. Otherwise, the lens may concentrate the sun’s rays and cause a fire.
 Do not cover or wrap the product with a cloth. Doing so may trap heat within and 
cause the casing to deform or catch fire.
 Be careful not to get the camera wet. If you drop the product in the water or if water 
or metal get inside the product, promptly remove the battery. This is to prevent fire, 
electrical shock, and burns.
 Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the product. 
Doing so may cause fire or a health hazard. 
						

							Safety Precautions
22
  Cautions:Follow the cautions below. Otherwise, physical injury 
or property damage may result.
Do not use or store the product in a high-temperature location such as inside a car 
under the hot sun. The product may become hot and cause burns. Doing so may 
also cause battery leakage or explosion, which will degrade the performance or 
shorten the life of the product.
 Do not carry the camera around when it is attached to a tripod. Doing so may cause 
an injury or an accident. Also make sure the tripod is sturdy enough to support the 
camera and lens.
 Do not leave the product in a low-temperature environment for an extended period of 
time. The product will become cold and may cause injury when touched.
 Do not fire the flash near the eyes. It may hurt the eyes. 
						

							23
Camera CareThis camera is a precision instrument. Do  not drop it or subject it to physical 
shock.
 The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you 
accidentally drop the camera into wate r, promptly consult the nearest Canon 
Service Center. Wipe off any 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.
 The camera contains precision elec tronic circuitry. Never attempt to 
disassemble the camera yourself.
 Do not block the built-in flash or mirror operation with your finger, etc. Doing 
so may cause a malfunction.
 Use only a commercially-available blower  to blow away dust when it adheres 
to the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirro r, focusing screen, etc. Do not use 
cleaners that contain organic 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 c ontacts with your fingers. This is to 
prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts may 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 put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to 
the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.
Handling Precautions 
						

							Handling Precautions
24
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 location. Even while the 
camera is in storage, press 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 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 nearest Canon Serv ice Center or check the camera 
yourself and make sure it is working properly.
 If you use continuous shooting, Live  View shooting, or movie shooting for a 
prolonged period, the camera may become hot. This is not a malfunction.
 If there is a bright light source inside or outside the image area, ghosting 
may occur.
LCD MonitorAlthough the LCD monitor is manuf actured with very high precision 
technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there may be a few dead pixels 
displaying only black or red, etc. among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. 
Dead pixels are not a malfunction. 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 unused for a few days.
 The LCD monitor display may seem slow in low temperatures, or look black 
in high temperatures. It will return  to normal at room temperature.

Handling Precautions
CardsTo protect the card and its recorded 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 co ntacts with your fingers or anything 
metallic.
 Do not affix any stickers, etc., on the card.
 Do not store or use the card near anything that has a strong magnetic field, 
such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet s. 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, etc.
 Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
LensAfter detaching the lens from the camera, put down the lens 
with the rear end up and attach the rear lens cap to avoid 
scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.
Smudges Adhering to the Front of the SensorBesides dust entering the camera from outside, in rare 
cases lubricant from the camera’s internal parts may adhere 
to the front of the sensor. If visible spots remain on the 
image, having the sensor cleaned by a Canon Service 
Center is recommended.
