Canon's PowerShot A530/A540 may overheat

Damian Koh | Dec 28, 2006

Canon has issued a safety notice to PowerShot A530 and PowerShot A540 users with regards to a possible overheating issue at the area around the battery cover.

According to the notice, if the opening/closing spring on the inside of the battery cover sticks out beyond its regular position, it could cause a short circuit resulting in the overheating at the bottom of the camera, rapidly depleting battery life.

Affected shooters include those with serial numbers beginning with 21, 22, 23 and 24, and Canon is offering free repairs for the affected shooters regardless of warranty status.

Canon delights at VivoCity

Damian Koh | Dec 15, 2006

Joining the Canon Digital Lab and customer service center at Keppel Bay Tower, the latest 3,500 square feet showroom at VivoCity completes the Canon Hub trinity at Singapore's HarbourFront area.

Guided by three main principles: Inform, involve and inspire, the new Canon LiNK allows visitors to browse and have a hands-on experience on the entire range of Canon products, as well as view pictures taken by both professional and amateur photographers.

At the opening was celebrity photographer, Russel Wong, whose works will be featured at the outlet. There is good news for China and India customers, as Canon is extending its international warranty scheme for cameras and camcorders to include both countries.

The store is now open daily between 10am and 10pm.
