Maintenance

LCD

•Clean the LCD screen using a commercially available glass cleaner.

•Where there is a big change in temperature, moisture may form on the surface of the screen. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.

•At low temperatures the display may appear to be much darker than usual. This is not a fault, and as the screen warms up the display will return to normal.

Camera body and lens

•Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera body or lens. Never use chemically treated cloth or volatile solvents such as paint thinner.

Video heads

•When mosaic-like noise appears on the playback picture, the video heads may be dirty. When the video heads are badly contaminated, the camera may show a blank blue screen.

•Clean the video heads using Canon’s DVM-CL Digital Video Head Cleaning Cassette. If the “noise” remains, repeat the cleaning (up to maximum of five times).

•Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette, as this can cause damage.
