Canon has found that its Sony made CCD-based digital cameras and
camcorders are affected by high temperature and humidity, causing
some wiring to come loose. As a result, the cameras stop recording or
record distorted images. The models with the problem are:
Digital Cameras
PowerShot A60, A70, A75
PowerShot A300, A310
Digital IXUS V3, IXUS II, 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
