Handling Precautions

Camcorder

Be sure to observe the following precautions to ensure maximum performance.

•Back up your recordings periodically. Make sure to transfer your recordings to an external device such as a computer or digital video

recorder ( 68) and back them up on a regular basis. This will protect your important recordings in case of damage and create more free space on the memory. Canon shall not be liable for any data loss.

•Do not carry the camcorder by the LCD panel. Be careful when closing the LCD panel.

•Do not leave the camcorder in places subject to high temperatures (like the inside of a car under direct sunlight), or high humidity.

•Do not use the camcorder near strong electromagnetic fields such as above TVs, near plasma TVs or mobile phones.

•Do not point the lens at strong light sources. Do not leave the camcorder pointed at a bright subject.

•Do not use or store the camcorder in dusty or sandy places. The camcorder is not waterproof – avoid also water, mud or salt. If any of the above should get into the camcorder it may damage the camcorder and/or the lens.

•Be careful of heat generated by lighting equipment.

•Do not disassemble the camcorder. If the camcorder does not function properly, consult qualified service personnel.

•Handle the camcorder with care. Do not subject the camcorder to shocks or vibration as this may cause damage.

•When mounting the camcorder on a tripod, make sure that the tripod's fastening screw is shorter than

5.5 mm (0.2 in.). Using other tripods may damage the camcorder.

5.5 mm

•When recording movies, try to get a calm, stable picture. Excessive camcorder movement while shooting and extensive use of fast zooms and panning can result in jittery scenes.
