This product is not guaranteed to support Eye-Fi card functions (including 
wireless transfer). In case of an issue with an Eye-Fi card, please check with 
the card manufacturer.
Also note that an approval is required to use Eye-Fi cards in many countries 
or regions. Without approval, use of the card is not permitted. If it is unclear 
whether the card has been approved for use in the area, please check with 
the card manufacturer.

Take and review some test shots initially to make sure the images were 
recorded 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.

Images recorded by the camera are intended for personal use. Refrain 
from unauthorized recording that infringes on copyright law, and note that 
even for personal use, photography may contravene copyright or other 
legal rights at some performances or exhibitions, or in some commercial 
settings.

The camera warranty is valid only in the area of purchase. In case of 
camera problems while abroad, return to the area of purchase before 
contacting a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

Although the LCD monitor is produced under extremely high-precision 
manufacturing conditions and more than 99.99% of the pixels meet design 
specifications, in rare cases some pixels may be defective or may appear 
as red or black dots. This does not indicate camera damage or affect 
recorded images.

The LCD monitor may be covered with a thin plastic film for protection 
against scratches during shipment. If covered, remove the film before 
using the camera.

When the camera is used over an extended period, it may become warm. 
This does not indicate damage.

About Eye-Fi Cards

Always confirm beforehand that memory cards are supported on other devices 
such as card readers and computers (including the current version of your 
operating system).
