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.

The LCD monitor and viewfinder are 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 covered, 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.
