• Do not allow liquids or foreign objects to enter the camera.
This could result in electrical shock or fire.
If liquids or foreign objects come into contact with the camera interior,
immediately turn the camera off and remove the battery pack/batteries.
If the battery charger (for cameras that use one) becomes wet, unplug
it from the outlet and consult your camera retailer or a Canon Customer
Support Help Desk.
• Do not look through the viewfinder (if your model has one) at bright
light sources, such as the sun on a clear day.
This could damage your eyesight.
• Use only the recommended battery pack/batteries.
• Do not place the battery pack/batteries near or in direct flame.
• If your camera uses a battery charger, note the following
precautions.
- Unplug the power cord periodically, and using a dry cloth, wipe
away any dust and dirt that has collected on the plug, the exterior
of the power outlet, and the surrounding area.
- Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
- Do not use the equipment in a manner that exceeds the rated
capacity of the electrical outlet or wiring accessories. Do not use if
the power cord or plug are damaged, or not fully plugged into the
outlet.
- Do not allow dirt or metal objects (such as pins or keys) to contact
the terminals or plug.
The battery pack/batteries may explode or leak, resulting in electrical shock
or fire. This could cause injury and damage the surroundings. In the event
that a battery pack leaks and the battery electrolyte contacts eyes, mouth,
skin or clothing, immediately flush with water.
• Turn the camera off in places where camera use is prohibited.
The electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the
operation of electronic instruments and other devices. Exercise adequate
caution when using the camera in places where use of electronic devices is
restricted, such as inside airplanes and medical facilities.
Caution Denotes the possibility of injury.
• When holding the camera by the strap, be careful not to bang it,
subject it to strong impacts or shocks, or let it get caught on other
objects.
• Be careful not to bump or push strongly on the lens.
This could lead to injury or damage the camera.
• Be careful not to subject the screen to strong impacts.
If the screen cracks, injury may result from the broken fragments.
• When using the flash, be careful not to cover it with your fingers or
clothing.
This could result in burns or damage to the flash.
• Avoid using, placing or storing the product in the following places:
- Places subject to direct sunlight
- Places subject to temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F)
- Humid or dusty areas
These could cause leakage, overheating or an explosion of the battery
pack/batteries, resulting in electrical shock, fire, burns or other injuries.
High temperatures may deform the product.
• The slideshow transition effects may cause discomfort when viewed
for prolonged periods.
• When using optional lenses, lens filters, or filter adapters (if
applicable), be sure to attach these accessories firmly.
If the lens becomes loose and falls off, it may crack, and the shards of glass
may lead to cuts.
• On cameras that raise and lower the flash automatically, make sure
your finger is out of the way when the flash is lowered, to avoid
pinching it.
This could result in injury.
