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 screen (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.

● When the camera is used over an extended period, it may become

warm. This does not indicate damage.
