Remove the power cord on a regular periodic basis and wipe away the dust and dirt that collects on the plug, the exterior of the electrical outlet and the surrounding area. In dusty, humid or greasy environments, the dust that collects around the plug over long periods of time may become saturated with humidity and short-circuit, leading to fire. Do not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power adapter cord. Any of these actions may cause an electrical short circuit, which may lead to fire or electrical shock. Do not handle the power cord if your hands are wet. Handling it with wet hands may lead to electrical shock. When unplugging the cord, ensure that you hold the solid portion of the plug. Pulling on the flexible portion of the cord may damage or expose the wire and insulation, creating the potential for fires or electrical shocks. Use of power sources not expressly recommended for this equipment may lead to overheating, distortion of the equipment, fire, electrical shock or other hazards. Use only the recommended power accessories. Do not place the batteries near a heat source or expose them to direct flame or heat. Neither should you immerse them in water. Such exposure may damage the batteries and lead to the leakage of corrosive liquids, fire, electrical shock, explosion or serious injury. Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the batteries. There is serious risk of injury due to an explosion. Immediately flush with water any area of the body, including the eyes and mouth, or clothing, that comes into contact with the inner contents of a battery. If the eyes or mouth contact these substances, immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance. Avoid dropping or subjecting the batteries to severe impacts that could damage the casings. It could lead to leakage and injury.
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals with metallic objects, such as key holders. It could lead to overheating, burns and other injuries. Before you discard a battery, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators to prevent direct contact with other objects. Contact with the metallic components of other materials in waste containers may lead to fire or explosions. Discard the batteries in specialized waste facilities if available in your area. Use of batteries not expressly recommended for this equipment may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the surroundings. Use only recommended batteries and accessories. If using AA-size NiMH batteries, use only Canon AA-size NiMH batteries and charger recommended for use with these batteries. Use of another charger may cause batteries to overheat or deform, posing risk of fire or electric shock. Disconnect the battery charger or the compact power adapter from both the camera and electrical outlet after recharging and when the camera is not in use to avoid fires and other hazards. The camera terminal of the battery charger cord and the compact power cord is designed for exclusive use with your camera. Do not use it with other products or batteries. There is a risk of fire and other hazards. Exercise due caution when screwing on the separately sold wide converter, tele-converter, close-up lens and conversion lens adapter. If they loosen, fall off and shatter, the glass shards may cause an injury. Never aim the lenses at the sun or strong light sources. There is a risk of damage to eyesight.

Preparing the Camera
Installing the Battery Pack
The camera uses four AA-size alkaline batteries supplied with the camera. You may use optional nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.
1 Be sure that the camera power is off. 2 Slide the battery cover lock, and push the battery cover slightly forward. Then open

the cover.

3 Insert the batteries as shown.
Positive end (+) Negative end ()
4 Close the battery cover.
When the cameras indicator flashes green, do not turn off the power or open the battery cover. The camera is writing, reading, erasing or transmitting an image to or from the CF card.

While Connected to a Printer The power will automatically shut off approximately 5 minutes after the last camera function is accessed or printer (sold separately) ceases to print an image. While Connected to a Computer A warning message will appear on the computer screen approximately 5 minutes after the last function is accessed. The power will automatically shut off approximately 1 minute later if no functions are accessed. The power save function will not activate while the camera is in auto play mode (p. 93). The cameras settings can be changed to turn off the power save function (p. 133).

Using the Optional Lenses and Lens Adapter
The camera supports use of the optional Wide Converter WC-DC52, Tele-converter TC-DC52 and Close-up Lens 250D (52 mm). In order to attach any of these lenses, you also need to use the optional Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC52B.
When attaching the wide converter, tele-converter or close-up lens, be sure to screw it on securely. If the wide converter or close-up lens comes lose it may fall from the camera, posing risk of injury from shattered glass. Never look into the sun or into strong light through the wide converter, tele-converter or the close-up lens, as this can result in blindness or impairment of vision.

Wide Converter WC-DC52

Use this converter for taking wide-angle shots. The wide converter changes the focal length of the camera bodys lens by a factor of 0.7 (The thread diameter is 52 mm.).

Tele-converter TC-DC52

This 52 mm-threaded diameter magnifying conversion lens is for taking telephoto shots. The lens changes the focal length of the camera bodys lens by a factor of 2.4x.
It is not possible to attach a lens hood or filter to the wide converter or tele-converter. If you use the flash when shooting with the wide converter, the outer area of the recorded image (and especially the lower right corner) will come out relatively dark. The wide converter blocks part of the view through the viewfinder. When using the wide converter, please set the camera to maximum wide angle. When using the tele-converter, please set the focal length to maximum telephoto. At other zoom settings, the image will appear as if its corners have been cut off.
Close-Up Lens 250D (52 mm)
This lens makes it easy to take macro shots. With the camera set to Macro mode, you can use this option to shoot subjects that are 10 to 25 cm (3.9 to 9.8 in.) at maximum wide angle and 13 to 25 cm (5.1 to 9.8 in.) at maximum telephoto from the lens tip.
Please do not use the flash when shooting with this lens.
