Is this covered by warranty/can it be fixed?

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.dcameras (More info?)

I had a digital camera (Canon G5) sent to my home about 3 months ago. I
recently noticed a horizontal scratch about .5inch long on the upper right
(when not flipped out) of the screen. It is a light scratch, but nonetheless
there. To be honest I'm not sure if I somehow did it or if the camera came
like that (while it was mailed to my house 3 months ago, I didn't get to use
it until a couple weeks ago). Is this something that would be covered under
warranty? Is there any way for me to remove the scratch?
Thanks,
Richard

The Canon G5 has a rotating LCD display and can be rotated to face the camera
therefore protecting it. Little need for a plastic shield. Mine came from Canon
protected.... facing the back of the camera.
