Those aren't too critical until you're looking at square wave shapes. There's generally a capacitance matching trimmer for each channel input. You may have a calibration square wave terminal on the front panel you can connect the probe to and then you adjust the capacitance trimmer for that channel so the waveshape has square edges. 10M is the probes impedance.
[edit] Actually it's more likely the input capacitance trimmer is in the probe housing. You do have a 1kh calibration signal on the front panel left side.

Can this 'scope be used to calibrate a signal generator, or a frequency counter?
