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 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 
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 and let it gradually adjust to the temperature before removing it 
from the bag.
 ●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.
 ●The battery shall be stored in a plastic bag or similar container. T

o 
maintain the performance of the battery, charge it approximately once 
a year when you do not use it for a long time and use it up before 
storing it.

Wi-Fi (Wireless LAN) Precautions
 ●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 
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 necessar\
y.
 ●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.
 ●Be sure to use the product as directed in this guide.  
Be sure to use the wireless LAN function of this product within the 
guidelines noted in this guide. Canon accepts no responsibility for 
damages or loss if the function and product are used in ways other 
than as described in this guide.
 ●Do not use the wireless LAN function of this product near medical 
equipment or other electronic equipment.

electronic equipment may affect operation of those devices.
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.
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 
the 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.

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.
