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. 154).
Language Setting
Please see page 23 to change the language setting.
Please read through the “Read This First” section (p. 4) before using your camera.
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 Set 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.
Disclaimer
• While every effort has been made to ensure that the information contained in this guide is
accurate and complete, no liability can be accepted for any errors or omissions.
• Canon Inc. reserves the right to change the specifications of the hardware and software
described herein at any time without prior notice.

mistaken operation or malfunction of the camera, the software, the CompactFlash™ cards (CF
cards), personal computers, peripheral devices, or use of non-Canon CF cards.
