Viewfinder
• Clean the viewfinder screen. Rotate the
viewfinder upwards. Remove the
viewfinder protect cover and clean by
inserting a cotton swab. When finished,
return it flush with the camera.
• The viewfinder screen scratches easily.
Take care when cleaning.
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.
• For the best picture possible, after using the camera for
approximately 20 hours, 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.
• These cautions also apply to accessories such as battery packs and cassettes.
