Canon HF11 Basic Operation Camcorder, LCD Backlight, Button Mode or Flexible Recording

NOTES

About the LCD screen: The screen is produced using extremely high-precision manufacturing techniques, with more than 99.99% of the pixels operating to specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as black, red, blue or green dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.

While the camcorder is on, hold DISP. pressed down for more than 2 seconds.

Repeat this action to toggle between the normal and bright settings.

NOTES

•This setting does not affect the brightness of the recording.

•Using the bright setting will shorten the effective usage time of the battery pack.
