Using the Printer and Printing
Use of genuine Canon accessories is recommended.
This product is designed to perform optimally when used with
genuine Canon accessories. Canon shall not be liable for any damage
to this product and/or accidents such as fire, etc., caused by the
malfunction of non-genuine Canon accessories (e.g., a leakage and/
or explosion of a battery pack). Please note that this warranty does
not apply to repairs arising out of the malfunction of non-genuine
Canon accessories, although you may request such repairs on a
chargeable basis.
Camera Body Temperature
If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become
warm. Please be aware of this and take care when operating the camera for
an extended period.
About the LCD Monitor
The LCD monitor is produced with extremely high-precision manufacturing
techniques. More than 99.99% of the pixels operate to specification. Less
than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as red or black
dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a
malfunction.
Video Format
Please set the camera’s video signal format to the one used in your region
before using it with a TV monitor (p. 127).
Charging the Date/Time Battery
• The camera has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery that maintains the
date, time and other camera settings. This battery recharges when the
main battery pack is inserted into the camera. When you first purchase the
camera, place a charged battery pack in it or use the AC adapter kit (sold
separately) for at least 4 hours to charge the date/time battery. It will
charge even when the camera power is set to Off.
• If the Date/Time menu appears when the camera power is turned on, it
means that the date/time battery charge is depleted. Recharge it as
described above.
