Free Repair For Canon Digital Camera Users

Does your Canon Digital Camera or Digital Video Camera distort the images or not even show them at all?

According to a Canon advisory on Image Phenomena Due to CCD Malfunction, images may appear distorted or may even not appear at all on your camera's LCD monitor.

In certain high-temperature or high-humidity environments (sounds like the Philippines, right?), some internal wiring may come undone, which results in those image problems.

Here are the affected models:

Digital Cameras

PowerShot A60, PowerShot A70, PowerShot A75, PowerShot A300, PowerShot A310, Digital IXUS V3, Digital IXUS II, Digital IXUS IIs

Digital Video Cameras

MV600i, MV630i, MV650i, MV700i, MV730i, MV750i, MV5i, MV5i MC, MV6i MC
ZR60, ZR65 MC, ZR70 MC, ZR80, ZR85, ZR90, Elura 40 MC, Elura 50
