Greetings,
@Yasmin18.
Your question is changing based on the answer SamanthaW has provided.
A camera purchased in Japan will likely have Japanese set as the primary language.
We have seen reports where the language of some cameras purchased abroad cannot be changed to English or due to hardware, will not accept firmware intended for use on the same model which is intended for sale in another country. Example, camera purchased in Japan, cannot be flashed with firmware for the same camera intended for sale in the US. While rare, its happened.
Warranty. Is typically tied to country or region where the product is intended for sale. If you present a product (with proof of purchase) to a Canon repair facility outside of the country of origin for warranty, warranty service and repair is ultimately up to the facility, so serviceability (warranty, repair, support) is ultimately at their discretion. Its not that don't want to help you, but parts to service or repair your device might not be available.
So, you can purchase a camera abroad. Before doing so, I'd check to be sure the language(s) you want to use it with are selectable. Warranty wise, it's up to Canon and subject to what I mentioned above. Maybe you get lucky, but if your device does need service or repair under warranty, or beyond it might cost you a lot more to send or carry your device back to its country of origin to get support if its not serviceable where you reside.
This should be considered in your purchase decision. Hope this helps. 😃
