This Service Notice will update Canon U.S.A., Inc.'s previous CCD Image Sensor Advisory, dated October 6, 2005.

It has come to our attention that the vendor-supplied CCD image sensor used in certain Canon digital cameras and digital video camcorders may cause the following malfunction: When the product is used in recording or playback mode, the LCD screen and/or electronic viewfinder may exhibit either a distorted image or no image at all. While reports of this malfunction have been rare in the United States, we have determined that it may occur if the product is exposed to hot and humid environments.

Notice of Additional Affected Products:
As a result of our continuing investigation of this malfunction, we have determined that the 11 models listed below, in addition to the 16 models listed in our Service Notice concerning this malfunction, dated October 6, 2005, may be affected.

Affected products:

- Camcorders: ZR60, ZR65 MC, ZR70 MC, ZR80, ZR85, ZR90, ELURA 40 MC, ELURA 50
- Digital Cameras A60, A70, A75, A300, A310, S230, SD100, SD110, A40(*), A80(*), A85(*), A95(*), S1 IS(*), S60(*), S200(*), S330(*), S400(*), S410(*), S500(*)

*Models added as of Oct.31, 2006

Malfunction:
It has been confirmed that the connecting parts of the internal wiring of the CCD used in affected products may become disconnected, especially if the affected products are stored or used in high-temperature and high-humidity environments. If this occurs, the signal is not output from the CCD normally in Shooting Mode, which may cause a distorted image or the absence of an image. This malfunction can be confirmed on the LCD monitor screen during shooting. The same malfunction also appears on the recorded image.

Canon's Response:
Effective immediately, and regardless of warranty status, Canon will repair, free of charge, the products listed above exhibiting the above-mentioned malfunction if Canon determines that the malfunction is caused by the CCD image sensor. Canon will also cover the cost of shipping and handling in connection with this repair.

Mie nu mi l-au reparat gratis (a70-ul). L-au schimbat cu un a530 nou. Din alta discutie despre un s1 is, se pare ca nu se mai intampla inlocuirea.

Cred ca e a nu stiu cata oara cand discutam problema... Si vad ca se tot adauga modele, se pare ca pe langa CCD-ul de 3.2 e afectat si CCD-ul de 4.

P.S. La mine inca nu face dungile alea tot timpul, inca merge metoda "bobarnac din stanga".

Din cauza ca A70-ul meu nu mai are imagine atunci cand vreu sa fac poze, ci doar niste dungi mov foate ciudate pe ecran, am sondat net-ul si am gasit ceva  interesant:

Mai grav este ca problema nu este numai la canon, ci la toti producatorii care au folosit acel tip de ccd ; proleme similare au si  Sony, Fujifilm,Konica Minolta, Nikon, Ricoh,Olympus. Lista cu toate aparatele "infestate" o gasiti aici: http://www.imaging-r...om/badccds.html
Sa le fie tarana usoara, in romania nu cred ca le repara nimeni gratis asa cum se intampla in afara...

oricum daca vreti sa vedeti cum atata o "sapuniera" pe dinauntru : http://www.artecdesi...tA70/index.html

la g6, cel putin, asa stiam si eu ca e.

Pai Canon vine cu senzorul si cu procesorul de imagine si Sony vine cu senzorul, ecranul, etc.

domnilor si eu am aceeasi problema cu un A75. Pana la urma stie cineva care este pozitia oficiala a celor de la Canon Romania ? A primit cineva raspuns de la ei in legatura cu aceasta problema?
