a page number).  
Although the screen is produced under extremely high-precision  
manufacturing conditions and more than 99.99% of the pixels meet  
design specifications, in rare cases some pixels may be defective or  
may appear as red or black dots. This does not indicate damage. This  
does not affect recorded images either.  
The symbols “ Still Images” and “ Movies” below titles indicate  
how the function is used—whether for still images or movies.  
Instructions in this guide apply to the camera under default settings.  
For convenience, all supported memory cards are simply referred to as  
the “memory card”.  
When the camera is used over an extended period, it may become  
warm. This does not indicate damage.

Do not look through the viewfinder or the lens (if your model has a  
viewfinder or interchangeable lens) at intense light sources such as  
the sun on a clear day or an intense artificial light source.  
This could damage your eyesight.  
Do not allow the camera to maintain contact with skin for extended  
periods.  
Even if the camera does not feel hot, this may cause low-temperature  
burns, manifested in redness of the skin or blistering. Use a tripod in hot  
places, or if you have poor circulation or insensitive skin.

Do not place the battery pack/batteries near or in direct flame.  
This may cause the battery pack/batteries to explode or leak, resulting in  
electrical shock, fire, or injuries. If leaking battery electrolyte comes into  
contact with eyes, mouth, skin, or clothing, immediately flush with water.  
Be careful not to subject the screen to strong impacts.  
If the screen cracks, injury may result from the broken fragments.  
When using the flash, be careful not to cover it with your fingers or  
clothing.  
This could result in burns or damage to the flash.  
If the product uses a battery charger, note the following precautions.  
Index  
- Remove the plug periodically and, using a dry cloth, wipe away any  
dust and dirt that has collected on the plug, the exterior of the power  
outlet, and the surrounding area.  
Avoid using, placing, or storing the product in the following places:  
- Places subject to direct sunlight  
- Do not insert or remove the plug with wet hands.  
- Places subject to temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F)  
- Do not use the equipment in a manner that exceeds the rated  
capacity of the electrical outlet or wiring accessories. Do not use if  
the plug is damaged or not fully inserted in the outlet.  
- Humid or dusty places  
These could cause leakage, overheating, or an explosion of the battery  
pack/batteries, resulting in electrical shock, fire, burns, or other injuries.  
Overheating and damage may result in electrical shock, fire, burns, or  
other injuries.  
- Do not allow dust or metal objects (such as pins or keys) to contact  
the terminals or plug.  
- Do not cut, damage, alter, or place heavy items on the power cord, if  
your product uses one.  
This could result in electrical shock or fire.

The slideshow transition effects may cause discomfort when viewed  
for prolonged periods.  
Unplug any battery charger used with the product when not in use. Do  
not cover with a cloth or other objects when in use.  
Before Use  
Leaving the unit plugged in for a long period of time may cause it to  
overheat and distort, resulting in fire.  
When using optional lenses, lens filters, or filter adapters (if  
applicable), be sure to attach these accessories firmly.  
If the lens accessory becomes loose and falls off, it may crack, and the  
shards of glass may lead to cuts.

erased due to incorrect operation of the product, the effects of radio  
waves or static electricity, or accident or malfunction. Be sure to make  
notes of wireless LAN settings as a precaution. Please note that  
Canon accepts no responsibility for direct or indirect damages or loss  
of earnings resulting from a degradation or disappearance of content.  
Only use networks you are authorized to use  
This product searches for Wi-Fi networks in the vicinity and displays  
the results on the screen. Networks you are not authorized to use  
(unknown networks) may also be displayed. However, attempting to  
connect to or using such networks could be regarded as unauthorized  
access. Be sure to use only networks you are authorized to use, and  
do not attempt to connect to other unknown networks.
