248 Appendix Safety Precautions z Before using the camera, please ensure that you read the safety precautions described below and in the “Safety Precautions” section. Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly. z The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to instruct you in the safe and correct operation of the camera and its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to yourself, other persons and equipment.
249 z Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is not expressly described in this guide. z To avoid the risk of high-voltage electrical shock, do not touch the flash portion of the camera if it has been damaged. z Stop operating the equipment immediately if it emits smoke or noxious fumes. z Do not allow the equipment to come into contact with, or become immersed in, water or other liquids.
250 Battery z Do not place the battery near a heat source or expose it to direct flame or heat. z The battery should not be immersed in water or sea water. z Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the battery. z Avoid dropping or subjecting the battery to severe impacts that could damage the casing. z Use only recommended battery and accessories. Failure to follow these precautions may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the surroundings.
251 Others z 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. z Keep objects that are sensitive to magnetic fields (such as credit cards) away from the speaker of the camera. Such items may lose data or stop working. z When using the optional Tele Converter or Conversion Lens Adapter, be sure to attach them firmly.
252 Cautions Equipment z Do not get the camera caught on other objects or subject it to strong impacts or shocks when wearing or holding it by the neck strap. z Be careful not to bump or strongly push the end of the lens. The above-mentioned could lead to injury or damage the equipment. z Be careful not to allow dust or sand into the camera when using it at a beach or place with strong winds. Such conditions could lead to damage. Y P O z Do not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas.
253 Flash z Do not operate the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to the surface of the flash. z Be careful not to cover the flash with your fingers or clothing when shooting. The flash may be damaged and emit smoke or noise. The resulting heat build-up could damage the flash. z Do not touch the surface of the flash after taking several pictures in rapid succession. Doing so could result in burns.
254 Preventing Malfunctions Camera Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields z Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.
255 z Do not allow any metal objects such as key rings to touch the ( ) and ( ) terminals (Fig. A). To carry the battery or store it during periods of disuse, always replace the terminal cover (Fig.B). These conditions can damage the battery. You may be able to check the charge state depending upon how the terminal cover is attached (Fig. C, D). Fig. A Fig. B Fig. C Fig. D Fully Charged Battery Used Battery Y P O Attach it so the visible. is Attach in the opposite way of Fig. C.
256 z It takes approximately 2 hours 20 minutes to fully charge the battery from a depleted state (based on Canon’s testing standards). • Charging it within a temperature range of 5 – 40 °C (41 – 104 °F) is recommended. • Charge times may vary according to the ambient temperature and the battery’s charge state. z If the performance of the battery diminishes substantially even when it is fully charged, its life has been exceeded and it should be replaced.
257 z Do not use or store memory cards in the following locations. • Locations subject to dust or sand • Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures z Since some or all of the data recorded on the memory card may be corrupted or erased by electrical noise, static electricity, camera or memory card malfunction, making a backup copy of important data is recommended. z Please note that formatting (initializing) a memory card erases all data, including protected images.
258 Using the AC Adapter (Sold Separately) It is best to power the camera with AC Adapter Kit ACK-DC50 (sold separately) when you are using it for long periods of time or connecting it to a computer. Turn the camera power off before connecting or disconnecting the AC adapter. 1 2 Connect the power cord to the compact power adapter first and then plug the other end into the power outlet.
