Safety and Handling Precautions Safety and Handling Precautions Be sure to observe the following precautions to ensure maximum performance. • Do not use, store or leave the camera in places subject to high temperatures (60 °C (140 °F) or higher) or the inside of a car parked under direct sunlight. • Do not use the camera near strong electromagnetic fields such as near powerful magnets and motors, MRI machines or high-voltage power lines. Using the camera in such places may cause 8 anomalies in the video, or audio or video noise to appear. • Do not use or store the camera in dusty or sandy places. The camera is not waterproof - avoid also water, mud or salt. If any of the above should get into the camera it may damage the camera and/or the lens. Consult a Canon Service Center as soon as possible. • Be careful to avoid dust and dirt particles accumulating on the lens or entering the camera. When you finish using the camera, make sure to attach the body cap to the lens mount and the lens cap and dust cap to the lens. • Have the cooling fan replaced after the [Total] hour meter displayed in the [Other Functions] > [Reset Hour Meter] submenu reaches approximately 30,000 hours. Consult a Canon Service Center to have it replaced. • Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun on a sunny day or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or the camera's internal components. Be careful especially when using a tripod. When you are not using the camera, make sure to attach the lens cap to the lens. • Be careful of heat generated by lighting equipment. • Do not disassemble the camera. If the camera does not function properly, consult qualified service personnel. • Do not touch the lens contacts on the lens mount. Dirty contacts may cause a poor contact between the camera and the lens resulting in incorrect operation of the camera. After removing the lens, make sure to attach the body cap to the lens mount and the lens cap and dust cap to the lens. • Make sure to turn off the camera before disconnecting a power cable. • Handle the camera with care. Do not subject the camera to shocks or vibration as this may cause damage. • Long-term storage: If you do not intend to use the camera for a long time, store it in a place free of dust, in low humidity, and at temperatures not higher than 30 °C (86 °F).
