Canon DC 100 Loading and Removing a Disc, Inserting the Disc, Close the disc cover

Step 7: Loading and Removing a Disc

Use only 8 cm mini DVD discs marked with the DVD-R or DVD-RW logo. Before inserting the disc be sure to check that the recording surface is clean. If necessary, use a soft lens-cleaning cloth to remove any fingerprints, dirt buildup or smudges from the disc surface.

Inserting the Disc

To change the operating mode, refer to About the Operating Modes ( 9).

1. Move the power switch to ON to set the camcorder in mode.

2. Slide OPEN fully in the direction of the arrow and gently open the disc cover completely until it stops.

Retract the grip belt under the camcorder so it will not get in the way of the disc cover.

3. Insert the disc and press its center firmly until it clicks in place.

• Insert the disc with the recording side facing down (single sided discs - label side facing out).

• Be careful not to touch the recording surface of the disc or the pick up lens.

4. Close the disc cover.

Do not force the cover closed if the disc is not correctly inserted and firmly set in place.

When using a DVD-RW:

You need to initialize new discs before you can start recording. The disc initialization screen will appear when a new DVD-RW is first inserted. It will not appear when inserting a disc already initialized. In that case, you can start recording once the record pause

indication appears.
