Handling Precautions

Camcorder

Be sure to observe the following precautions to ensure maximum per- formance.

•Save your recordings periodically. Make sure to transfer your record-

ings to an external device such as a computer or digital video recorder (A126) and save them on a regular basis. This will protect your impor- tant 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.

•Handle the touch screen with care. Do not apply excessive force and, with the exception of the supplied stylus pen, do not use ballpoint pens or other hard-tipped tools to operate the touch screen. This may dam- age the touch screen’s surface or the pressure-sensitive layer beneath it.

•Do not attach protective film on the touch screen. The touch screen’s operation is based on detecting applied pressure, so you may not be able to correctly operate the touch screen with an additional protective layer.

•Do not leave the camcorder in places subject to high temperatures (like the inside of a car parked 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 use the camcorder’s Wi-Fi functions inside hospitals, medical clinics or onboard aircraft. In addition, do not use them near medical equipment or sensitive electronic devices as it may affect their performance. In the case of pacemakers, keep the cam- corder at least 22 cm away from the device.

•*/)/(The camcorder’s Wi-Fi functions may be subject to interference from devices such as cordless phones and microwave ovens. Keeping as much distance as possible from these devices or using the camcorder’s Wi-Fi functions at a different time of day may reduce such interference.

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