Take some initial test shots and play them back 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.
The images recorded with this camera are intended for personal use. Do not
record images that infringe upon copyright laws without the prior permission
of the copyright holder. 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.
This camera's warranty is only effective in the country of sale. If there is a
problem with the camera while abroad, please return it to the country of sale
before proceeding with a warranty claim to a Canon Customer Support Help

The LCD monitor is made from reinforced glass, but it may break if
subjected to severe impacts. Please read the Safety Precautions (p. 9)
carefully. In case the glass breaks, exercise adequate caution so as not to
injure yourself on any broken fragments.
The LCD monitor is produced with extremely high-precision
manufacturing techniques. More than 99.99% of the pixels operate to
specification, but occasionally non-performing pixels may appear as bright
or dark dots. This is not a malfunction and has no effect on the recorded
image.
The LCD monitor may be covered with a thin plastic film for protection
against scratches during shipment. If so, remove the film before using the
camera.
Please take care when operating the camera for an extended period as the
camera body may become warm. This is not a malfunction.
