Handling Precautions 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 device. Do not drop the memory card or subject it to vibration. Doing so could damage the images recorded on them. Do not store or use a memory card near anything having a strong magnetic field such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places prone to having static electricity. Otherwise, the images recorded on the memory card might be lost. Do not leave memory cards in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Doing so can warp the cards and make them unusable. Do not spill any liquid onto the memory card. Always store your memory cards in a case to protect the data stored on them. Non-Canon memory cards may not be able to record and playback images. Using Canon memory cards is recommended. 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. Lens Electrical Contacts After detaching the lens from the camera, attach the lens caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts. Contacts Cautions for Prolonged Use When the switch is left for a prolonged period, the camera may become hot. Although this is not a malfunction, holding the hot camera for a long period can cause slight skin burns. 11
