Cautions concerning counterfeit accessories of digital cameras and video camcorders
|
| 2012-JAN-25 |
| Based on our investigations, we have confirmed that there are counterfeit Canon lithium battery packs, battery chargers, and AC adapters for Canon digital camera and Canon video camcorder products in the market. These counterfeit products have not been designed, produced, nor licensed by Canon, but they fraudulently display the Canon logo and other trademarks, and it has been reported that these products are frequently sold on various Internet auction sites. |

| 2011-DEC-15 |
| To enhance the visibility of the viewfinder on the XF305 and XF300 professional camcorders, the size of the viewfinder and its built-in loupe have been increased. Increasing the size of the viewfinder and loupe, however, has allowed sunlight to easily enter through the viewfinder, causing incident light to converge on the internal display panel inside the camcorder. In rare cases, where sunlight enters continuously for long periods, the LCD display panel may be damaged. |
