Viewfinder
• Clean the viewfinder screen using a
blower brush. First, pull the viewfinder
out until it stops. Then, press and hold
the finder release button with a sharp
object and pull the viewfinder all the
way out. To reattach the viewfinder, first
position the base horizontally and align it
with the viewfinder’s base. Then press it
until it clicks back into place. Don’t
touch anyplace other than the glass
screen.
LCD
• Clean the LCD screen using a commercially available glass cleaner.
• Where there is a big change in temperature, moisture may form on the surface
of the screen. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
• At low temperatures the display may appear to be much darker than usual. This
is not a fault, and as the screen warms up the display will return to normal.
Camera body and lens
• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera body or lens. Never use chemically
treated cloth or volatile solvents such as paint thinner.
Video heads
• When mosaic-like noise appears on the playback picture,
the video heads may be dirty. When the video heads are
badly contaminated, the camera may show a blank blue
screen.
• Clean the video heads using Canon’s DVM-CL Digital
Video Head Cleaning Cassette. If the “noise” remains, repeat the cleaning (up to
maximum of five times).
• Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette, as this can cause damage.
Maintenance
If you do not intend to use the camera for some time, store it in an area which is
free of dust and moisture, and where the temperature is no higher than 86°F
(30°C). After storage, check each part and function of your camera to make sure
everything is still working properly.
Note:
• These cautions also apply to accessories such as battery packs and cassettes.
