Handling Precautions
1) This camera is not resistant to water, and
'
should not be used outdoors if raining or
snowing. If accidentally dropped in water,
contact an authorized Canon service facil-
ity. Keep the camera out of salt spray and
excessive humidity. If used at the beach,
clean it thoroughly afterward with a dry
cloth.
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.

||
midity.
|3) Do not attempt to disassemble the camera
yourself, due to the high-voltage circuitry
