LCD Panels and LCD Monitor

¡Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision technology with over 99. 99% active pixels, there might be a few dead pixels among the remaining 0. 01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying only black or red, etc. , are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded.

¡At low temperatures, the liquid-crystal display response may become slower. And at high temperatures, the display may blacken. In either case, the display will return to normal at room temperature.

Memory Cards

¡Memory cards are precision devices. Do not drop the memory card or subject it to vibration. Physical shock or vibration may destroy the images recorded in the card.

¡Do not store or use a memory card near anything having a strong magnetic field such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet or in places prone to having static electricity. Such environments may destroy the images recorded on the card.

¡Do not leave memory cards in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Heat can deform the cards and render them unusable.

¡Do not spill any liquids on the memory card.

¡To protect the recorded image data, always store the memory card in a case.

¡Some non-Canon memory cards may not be able to record and playback images. In such a case, use a memory card made by Canon.

¡Do not bend the card or subject it to any excessive force or physical shock.

¡Do not store memory cards in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
