Familiarize Yourself with the Camera
With a digital camera, you can immediately view the image you have 
captured. While reading this manual , take a few test shots and see how 
they come out. You can then  better understand the camera.
To avoid botched pictures and accidents, first read the “Safety 
Warnings” (p.445-447) and “Handl ing Precautions” (p.18, 19).
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.

When shooting movies, use a large-capacity card with a fast reading/

an even faster card.
