Please Read
Test Shots
Before you try to photograph important subjects, we highly recommend that
you shoot several trial images to confirm that the camera is operating and
being operated 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.
Warning Against Copyright Infringement
Please note that Canon digital cameras are intended for personal use and
should never be used in a manner that infringes upon or contravenes
international or domestic copyright laws and regulations. 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.
Warranty Limitations
This camera’s warranty is only effective in the country of sale. If a problem
arises while the camera is in use abroad, please convey it back to the
country of sale before proceeding with a warranty claim to a Canon
Customer Support Help Desk.

does not constitute a malfunction.

before using it with a TV monitor.
