Battery Pack, Long-term storage | Canon HFR16, HFR17, HFR18, HFR106

•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. In extreme cases, the playback of such scenes may result in visually induced motion sickness. If you experience such a reaction, immediately stop the playback and take a rest break as necessary.

Long-term storage

If you do not intend to use the camcorder for a long time, store it in a place free of dust, in low humidity, and at temperatures not higher than 30 °C.

Battery Pack

DANGER!

•Do not try to disassemble or modify it.

•Do not drop it or subject it to shocks.

•Do not get it wet.

•Attach the terminal cover whenever a battery pack is not in use. Con- tact with metallic objects may cause a short circuit and damage the bat- tery pack.
