they come out. You can then better understand the camera.

Warnings” (p.404, 405) and “Handling Precautions” (p.14, 15).

Testing the Camera Before Use and Liability

After shooting, play images back and check whether they have been

properly recorded. If the camera or memory card is faulty and the

images cannot be recorded or downloaded to a computer, Canon

cannot be held liable for any loss or inconvenience caused.
