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, screen, or Story Camera\
 
lens, wipe with a dry soft cloth, such as an eyeglass cloth. Do not rub \
hard or apply force.
•  Never use cleaners containing organic solvents to clean the camera, 
screen, or Story Camera lens.
•  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.

check the label on the bottom of the camera 
for a number beginning with  PC. The 
built-in 
WLAN module model is written below. 
Country/Region of Purchase WLAN Module Model
U.S.A., Canada WM224
Other WM223
• Countries and Regions Permitting WLAN Use
-  Use of WLAN is restricted in some countries and regions, and illegal 
use may be punishable under national or local regulations. To avoid 
violating WLAN regulations, visit the Canon website to check where use 
is allowed. 
  Note that Canon cannot be held liable for any problems arising from  WLAN use in other countries and regions.
•  Doing any of the following may incur legal penalties:
-

  Altering or modifying the product
-  Removing the certification labels from the product
•  According to foreign exchange and foreign trade law regulations, export \
permission (or service transaction permission) from the Japanese 
government is necessary to export strategic resources or services 
(including this product) outside Japan.
•  Because this product includes American encryption software, it falls 
under U.S. Export Administration Regulations, and cannot be exported to 
or brought into a country under U.S. trade embargo.
• Be sure to make notes of the wireless LAN settings you use.
The wireless LAN settings saved to this product may change or be 
erased due to incorrect operation of the product, the effects of radio 
waves or static electricity, or accident or malfunction. Be sure to make 
notes of wireless LAN settings as a precaution. Please note that Canon 
accepts no responsibility for direct or indirect damages or loss of 
earnings resulting from a degradation or disappearance of content.
•  When transferring this product to another person, disposing of it, or 
sending it for repair, be sure to note the wireless LAN settings and reset 
the product to its default settings (erase settings) if necessary
.
•  Canon will not make compensation for damages resulting from loss or 
theft of the product.
Canon accepts no responsibility for damages or loss resulting from 
unauthorized access or use of target devices registered on this product \
due to loss or theft of the product.

 Radio Wave Interference Precautions
• This product may receive interference from other devices that emit radio\
 
waves. To avoid interference, be sure to use this product as far away as 
possible from such devices, or avoid using the devices at the same time \
as this product.
This product is installed with the WLAN Module which is certified to sta\
ndards set by 
IDA Singapore.
 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).
T o 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.
CAUTION
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. 
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO LOCAL REGULATION.
To ensure proper operation of this product, use of genuine Canon 
accessories is recommended.
