If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the
battery and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location.
Even while the camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few
times once in a while to check that the camera is still working.
Avoid storing the camera where there are chemicals that result in rust
and corrosion such as in a chemical lab.
If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its
functions before using it. If you have not used the camera for some time
or if there is an important shoot such as a foreign trip coming up, have
the camera checked by your nearest Canon Service Center or check
the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.
If you repeat continuous shooting or perform Live View shooting or
movie shooting for a prolonged period, the camera may become hot.
This is not a malfunction.
If there is a bright light source inside or outside the image area,
ghosting may occur.
LCD Monitor
Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision
technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, 0.01% or fewer of the
pixels may be dead, and there may also be spots of black, red, or other
colors. Dead pixels are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images
recorded.
If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may
occur where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is
only temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a
few days.
The LCD monitor display may seem slightly slow in low temperatures,
or look black in high temperatures. It will return to normal at room
temperature.
