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 (A107) 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 do not use ballpoint pens or other hard-tipped tools to operate the touch screen. This may damage the touch screen’s surface.

•Do not hold the camcorder in the same posture for long periods of times as this may cause low-temperature contact burns. Even if the camcorder does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same body part may cause skin redness or blistering. The use of a tripod is recommended for people with circulation problems or very sensitive skin, or when using the camcorder in very hot places.

•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 or near plasma TVs.

•6/4Do not use the camcorder’s Wi-Fi functions inside hospi- tals, 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 camcorder at least 22 cm (8.7 in.) away from the device.

•6/4The camcorder’s Wi-Fi functions may be subject to inter- ference 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.
