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 and memory card, and wait until the moisture has evaporated before resuming use. • Before long-term battery storage, use up the battery’s remaining charge, remove it from the camera, and store it in a plastic bag or similar container . Storing a partially charged battery over extended periods (about a year) may shorten its life or affect performance. Specifications Camera Effective Pixels (Max.)
