    Immediately notify your supplier.

    As above. Contact the company you purchased from.

    And if the camera is working okay, keep taking photos, and don't stress to much. Would be nice if you could get a new ...... camera though.

    BUT..if the camera needs a service or repair in future, Canon will not do it! That is the issue here.
