Maintenance
E
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.
Using the camera abroad
Power sources
• You can use the compact power adapter to operate your camera and charge battery packs in any country
