A limited number of Canon A650 IS cameras are suffering from a light leak issue. When shooting with the camera’s variangle LCD monitor open under sunny skies, where sunlight shines directly on the exposed back of the camera, problems like the one shown in the image may occur. All A650 cameras that have a zero in the fifth digit from the left (xxxx0xxxxx) in the serial number listed on the bottom of the camera are affected. However, even for cameras with the serial number described above, if there is a marking on the inside of the battery cover like the one in the image below, this problem has already been corrected and the camera may be used as is. Canon USA will repair affected PowerShot A650 IS cameras for residents in the USA and Puerto Rico free of charge at our Factory Service Centers.
