Precautions
rn
1)
This camera
is
not resistant to water,
and cannot be used underwater or
outdoors if raining or snowing. If ac-
cidentally dropped
in
water, contact
an
authorized Canon service facility
as
quickly as possible. Remove water
droplets from the camera with a
clean dry cloth. If exposed to salt
spray, clean it thoroughly afterward
with a clean, damp, well-rung cloth.
2)
Store the camera
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
excessive humidity, use
a desiccant.
3)
Do
not attempt to disassemble the
camera yourself. Always take it to
an
authorized Canon service facility for
repair.
4)
Use a blower brush to remove dust
and sand from the lens and inside the
camera.
Do
not apply any fluids to
the lens or body. Take it to a Canon
service facility for more cleaning if
necessary.
5)
Film passing through x-ray examina-
tions at airports may
be
exposed and
ruined even when loaded
in
the
camera. Request a hand-checked
in-
spection to avoid damage.
6)
Color reproduction may
be
adverse-
ly
affected if film
is
left
in
the camera
for a long time. Always develop ex-
posed film promptly.
