Test Shots

Before you try to photograph important subjects, we highly recommend that you

shoot several trial images to confirm that the camera is operating and being

operated correctly.
Please note that Canon Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliates, and its distributors are

not liable for any consequential damages arising from any malfunction of a

camera or accessory, including memory cards, that results in the failure of an

image to be recorded or to be recorded in a way that is machine readable.

Warning Against Copyright Infringement

Please note that Canon digital cameras are intended for personal use and should

never be used in a manner that infringes upon or contravenes international or

domestic copyright laws and regulations. Please be advised that in certain cases

the copying of images from performances, exhibitions, or commercial properties

by means of a camera or other device may contravene copyright or other legal

rights even if the image was shot for personal use.

Warranty Limitations

This camera’s warranty is only effective in the country of sale. If a problem arises

while the camera is in use abroad, please convey it back to the country of sale

before proceeding with a warranty claim to a Canon Customer Support Help

Desk.

For Canon Customer Support contacts, please see the customer support

list supplied with your camera.

Video Format

Please set the camera's video signal format to the one used in your region before

using it with a TV monitor.

Language Setting

(p. 13) to change the language setting.

Camera Body Temperature

If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become

extended period.

About the LCD Monitor

The LCD monitor is produced with extremely high-precision manufacturing

techniques. More than 99.99% of the pixels operate to specification. Less than

0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as red or black dots.

This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.
