Precautions
1)
This camera
is
not resistant
to
water and should not
be
used out-
doors
in
snow or rain. If accidentally dropped
in
water, contact
an
authorized Canon service facility. Keep the camera out of salt spray
and protect it from excessive humidity. If used
at
the beach, clean
it
thoroughly afterward with a dry cloth.
2)
Do not attempt to disassemble the camera yourself. Always take
it
to
an
authorized Canon service facility for repair.
3)
Remove the battery
if
you do not expect to use the camera for about
three weeks or longer.
4)
When storing the camera, wrap
it
in
a clean, soft cloth and place
it
in
a
cool, dry, dust-free place. Be sure to keep the camera out of direct
sunlight, and away from "hot spots" such
as
the trunk or rear window
shelf
of
a car. Avoid places where moth balls are used, and
in
extreme
humidity, use a desiccant.
5)
Carefully check the camera's operation after lengthy storage.
6)
The battery may explode or cause burns if disassembled, recharged,
shorted, exposed to high temperatures, or disposed of
in
fire.
7)
Film passing through X-ray examinations at airports may be exposed
and ruined even if loaded
in
the camera. Request a hand-checked
inspection to avoid damage.
8)
Aerosol spray dust removers are not recommended for the shutter cur-
tain.
9)
Condensation
is
a problem when bringing cold equipment into a warm
room. If the autofocus optics cloud over, accuracy may be seriously
affected. Before entering a warm room, put equipment
in
a plastic bag
so that condensation.forms
on
the outside of the bag.
10)Color reproduction may be adversely affected
if
film
is
left
in
the cam-
era for a long time. Always develop exposed film promptly .
