Handling Cautions

Camera Care and Storage

(1) The camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to

physical shock.

(2) This camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If the

camera gets really wet, promptly consult your nearest Canon Service

Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the camera has
been exposed to salty air, wipe with a well-wrung damp cloth.

(3) Do not leave the camera in places prone to excessive heat such as in

a car on a sunny day. Excessive heat can cause the camera to

malfunction.

(4) The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to

disassemble the camera.

(5) Use only a blower brush to blow away dust on the lens, eyepiece,

mirror, focusing screen, and film compartment. Do not clean the

camera body or lens with a cleaner containing an organic solvent. For
stubborn dirt, consult your nearest Canon Service Center.

(6) The shutter curtains are extremely thin. Use only a blower to clean

them. Be careful not to blow air too forcefully on the shutter curtains.

The shutter curtains can be easily deformed or damaged. Also, when

loading and unloading film, be careful not to touch the shutter curtains.

(7) Do not touch the electrical contacts with your fingers. Otherwise

corrosion may develop on the contacts, resulting in improper camera

operation.

(8) If the camera is not to be used for an extended period, remove the

battery. Store the camera in a well-ventilated, cool, dry place. During

the storage period, press the shutter button to release the shutter a

few times once in a while.

(9) Avoid storing the camera in a laboratory, cabinet, etc., where corrosive

chemicals are present.

(10) If the camera has not been used for an extended period or if the

camera is to be used for an important event, check the operation of all
the camera controls or take it to your nearest Canon Service Center

for inspection.

(11) After detaching the lens from the camera, put on the lens caps or put

down the lens with the rear end up to avoid scratching the lens surface

and electrical contacts.

(12) Even when the Main Switch is set to <QD>, a small amount of power

is still supplied to the camera’s LCD panel. However, this does not
affect the number of film rolls which can be taken with the battery.
