Precautions 1) This camera is not resistant to water and should not be used outdoor,s 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 curtain. 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 camera for a long time. Always develop exposed film promptly. • Please see page 58 for camera care information. • Meaning of the S mark in this instruction book S Indicates functions available only on the Rebel X S.
