Other Notes

1. Liquid Crystal Display

The display panel uses a liquid crystal to display exposure information. After about five years, the display may become hard to read.

The liquid crystal may respond relatively slow in low temperatures about 0°C/32°F and the display may become dark in high temperatures about 60°C/140°F. Regular functioning resumes in temperatures about 20°C/68°F.

Take your camera to the nearest Canon Service Facility for the replacement of the liquid crystal. (Replacement will be at owner's expense.)

2. Blinking "bc" Display

A "bc" appearing with battery check bar marks may blink in the display panel to warn you of battery replacement or camera malfunction. Perform the following operations:

1)Check the battery first.

2)If battery voltage is insufficient, replace the battery.
