Precautions
Camera Body Temperature
If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may
become warm. Please be aware of this and take care when operating
the camera for an extended period.
About the LCD monitor
The LCD monitor is produced with extremely high-precision
manufacturing techniques. With more than 99.99% of the pixels
operating to specifications, less than 0.01% of the pixels may
occasionally misfire or appear as black, red or green dots. This has no
effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.
Notice: Please ensure that you read and follow the handling and
safety precautions on pages 5 to 9 of this guide before
attempting to use the camera.
Video Format
Please set the camera’s video signal format to the one used in your
region before using it with a TV monitor (p. 82).
Language Setting
Please see page 83 to change the language setting.
Charging the Date/Time Battery
• The camera has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery that
maintains the date, time and other camera settings. This battery
recharges when the main battery pack is inserted into the
camera. When you first purchase the camera, place a charged
battery pack in it or use the AC adapter kit (sold separately) for
at least 4 hours to charge the date/time battery. It will charge
even when the camera power is set to Off.
• If the Set Date/Time menu appears when the camera power is
turned on, it means that the date/time battery charge is
depleted. Recharge it as described above.

WARNINGS
• Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or at other intense light
sources which could damage your eyesight.
• Do not trigger the flash in close proximity to human or animal eyes.
Exposure to the intense light produced by the flash may damage
eyesight. In particular, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away from
infants when using the flash.
• Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants.
Accidental damage to the camera or batteries by a child could result in
serious injury. In addition, placement of the wrist strap around the
child’s neck could result in asphyxiation.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that
is not expressly described in this guide. Disassembly or alteration may
result in high-voltage electrical shock. Internal inspections, alterations
and repairs should be conducted by qualified service personnel
authorized by your camera distributor or a Canon Customer Support
Help Desk.
• To avoid the risk of high-voltage electrical shock, do not touch the flash
portion of the camera if it has been damaged. Similarly, never touch
internal portions of the equipment which become exposed as a result
of damage. There is a risk of high-voltage electrical shock. Please take
the first opportunity to consult your camera distributor or a Canon
Customer Support Help Desk.
• Stop operating the equipment immediately in the event that it emits
smoke or noxious fumes. Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical
shock. Immediately turn the camera’s power off and remove the camera
battery or unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Confirm
that smoke or fume emissions have ceased. Please consult your camera
distributor or the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
• Stop operating the equipment if it is dropped or the casing is
damaged. Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical shock.
Immediately turn the camera’s power off and remove the camera
battery or unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Please
consult your camera distributor or the closest Canon Customer Support
Help Desk.
