zTake and review some test shots initially to make sure the images were recorded correctly.
Please note that Canon Inc., its subsidiaries and afliates, and its distributors are not liable for
any consequential damages arising from any malfunction of a camera or accessory, including
memory cards, that result in the failure of an image to be recorded or to be recorded in a way
that is machine readable.
zThe user’s unauthorized photographing or recording (video and/or sound) of people or
copyrighted materials may invade the privacy of such people and/or may violate others’ legal
rights, including copyright and other intellectual property rights. Note that restrictions may apply
even when such photographing or recording is intended solely for personal use.
zThe 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 Customer Support Help Desk.
zAlthough the screen is produced under extremely high-precision manufacturing conditions and
more than 99.99% of the pixels meet design specications, 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.
zWhen the camera is used over an extended period, it may become warm. This does not
indicate damage.
