Handling Precautions
•	The camera is a high-precision electronic device. Avoid dropping it or 
subjecting it to strong impact.
•	 Never bring the camera near magnets, motors, or other devices that 
generate strong electromagnetic fields, which may cause malfunction or 
erase image data.
•	 If water droplets or dirt adheres to the camera or screen, wipe with a d\
ry 
soft cloth, such as an eyeglass cloth. Do not rub hard or apply force.
•	 Never use cleaners containing organic solvents to clean the camera or 
screen.
•	 Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens. If cleaning is difficult, 
contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
•	 To prevent condensation from forming on the camera after sudden 
temperature changes (when the camera is transferred from cold to warm 
environments), put the camera in an airtight, resealable plastic bag an\
d 
let it gradually adjust to the temperature before removing it from the b\
ag.
•	 If condensation does form on the camera, stop using it immediately. 
Continuing to use the camera in this state may damage it. Remove 
the battery pack and memory card, and wait until the moisture has 
evaporated before resuming use.
•	 Before long-term battery storage, use up the battery pack’s remaining 
charge, remove it from the camera, and store it in a plastic bag or simi\
lar 
container. Storing a partially charged battery pack over extended periods 
(about a year) may shorten its life or affect performance.

To prevent these types of problems from occurring, be sure to thoroughly \
secure your Wi-Fi network.
Only use this camera’s Wi-Fi function with a proper understanding of 
Wi-Fi security, and balance risk and convenience when adjusting security 
settings.The camera can print to PictBridge-compatible printers 
via Wi-Fi. PictBridge technical standards make it easy 
to connect digital cameras, printers, and other devices 
directly. Additionally, a new standard called DPS over IP 
enables PictBridge connections in network environments, 
and the camera is also compatible with this standard.
 
 
 
 
Security Precautions
Because Wi-Fi uses radio waves to transmit signals, security precautions\
 
more stringent than when using a LAN cable are required.
Keep the following points in mind when using Wi-Fi.
•	Only use networks you are authorized to use.
This product searches for Wi-Fi networks in the vicinity and displays th\
e 
results on the screen. Networks you are not authorized to use (unknown \
networks) may also be displayed. However, attempting to connect to or 
using such networks could be regarded as unauthorized access. Be sure 
to use only networks you are authorized to use, and do not attempt to 
connect to other unknown networks.
If security settings have not been properly set, the following problems \
may 
occur.
•	 Transmission monitoring
Third parties with malicious intent may monitor Wi-Fi transmissions and \
attempt to acquire the data you are sending.
•	 Unauthorized network access
Third parties with malicious intent may gain unauthorized access to 
the network you are using to steal, modify, or destroy information. 
Additionally, you could fall victim to other types of unauthorized access 
such as impersonation (where someone assumes an identity to gain 
access to unauthorized information) or springboard attacks (where 
someone gains unauthorized access to your network as a springboard to 
cover their tracks when infiltrating other systems).
