Condensation
Moving the camcorder rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to
form on its internal surfaces. Stop using the camcorder if condensation is detected. Continued use may damage
the camcorder.
Condensation may form in the following cases:
• When the camcorder is moved quickly from cold to warm places
• When the camcorder is left in a humid room
• When a cold room is heated rapidly
To avoid condensation
• Do not expose the camcorder to sudden or extreme changes in temperature.
• Remove the recording media and battery pack. Then, place the camcorder in an airtight plastic bag and let it
adjust gradually to temperature changes before removing it from the bag.
When condensation is detected
The camcorder automatically shuts off.
The precise time required for water droplets to evaporate will vary depending on the location and weather
conditions. As a general rule, wait for 2 hours before resuming use of the camcorder.
Operating the ND Filter Manually
In the rare case that the internal electronic motor that drives the ND filter malfunctions, you can operate the ND
filter manually as an emergency measure.
1 Turn off the camcorder and remove the lens.
2 Unscrew the screw in the illustration and remove the
cover.
3 Pressing lightly, use a Phillips head screwdriver to turn
the ND filter as necessary.
• You can check the position of the ND filter through the
lens mount.
4 Return the cover and tighten the screw.
Using the Camcorder Abroad
Power Sources
You can use the AC adapter and battery charger to operate the camcorder and to charge battery packs in any
country with power supply between 100 and 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Consult a Canon Service Center for
information on plug adapters for overseas use.
