Memory Card

•We recommend backing up the recordings on the memory card onto your computer. Data may be corrupted or lost due to memory card defects or exposure to static electricity. Canon shall not be liable for lost or corrupted data.

•Do not touch or expose the terminals to dust or dirt.

•Do not use memory cards in places subject to strong magnetic fields.

•Do not leave memory cards in places subject to high humidity and high temperature.

•Do not disassemble, bend, drop, or subject memory cards to shocks and do not expose them to water.

•Check the direction before inserting the memory card. Forcing a memory card into a slot if it is not correctly oriented may damage the memory card or the camcorder.

•Do not attach any labels or stickers on the memory card.

•Secure Digital (SD) memory cards have a physical switch to prevent writing on the card so as to avoid the accidental erasure of the card’s content. To write-protect the memory card set the switch to the LOCK position.

The camcorder has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery to keep the date/time and other settings. The built-in lithium battery is recharged while you use the camcorder; however, it will discharge completely if you do not use the camcorder for about 3 months.

To recharge the built-in lithium battery: Connect the compact power adapter to the camcorder and leave it connected for 24 hours with the camcorder off.
