Preliminary Notes and Legal
Information
• Take 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.
• Images recorded by the camera shall be 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 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.
• The LCD monitor may be covered with a thin plastic lm for
protection against scratches during shipment. If covered,
remove the lm before using the camera.
• When the camera is used over an extended period, it may
become warm. This does not indicate damage.
