Product Advisory: To Users of Compact Digital Cameras
“In rare instances, it is possible that units of the Potentially Affected Products may exhibit the following operation errors, depending on usage conditions, due to insufficient contact between the camera’s battery terminal and the battery, even when the battery has sufficient power remaining:
- the message “Charge the battery” appears immediately,
- the power sometimes does not turn on, and
- the power turns off during use.”
If your camera exhibits the phenomenon described in this announcement, your camera, battery pack and battery charger will be inspected, and repaired or replaced with a refurbished product (in Canon’s sole discretion), FREE of charge.
- Moreover, if you paid repair fees to have your camera repaired specifically for this phenomenon, Canon will refund the fee paid, subject to Canon’s confirmation that the repair was performed.
- If you own a camera that exhibits this phenomenon, or if you have a question about whether your camera is a Potentially Affected Product, please contact the Customer Support Center.
The support above will be available until the end of 2019 only.
