Do’s and Don’ts
Replace the battery pack if the usable
time after full charge diminishes
substantially at normal temperatures.
Mini DVD Disc
The recording surface of DVD discs is
extremely delicate. If handled or stored in
an incorrect manner, the camcorder may
stop recognizing or may not be able to
play back the disc. Be sure to observe the
following precautions when storing/
handling your discs.
Always remove the disc from the camcorder
after you finish recording.
Do not store the camcorder with a disc
left inside.
Keep the disc clean of dust, dirt or
smudges. Even very small smudges or
particles of dust can lead to problems
when recording or playing back the disc.
Carefully inspect the recording surface of
the disc before inserting it in the
camcorder. If the disc gets dirty use a dry,
soft lens-cleaning cloth to remove any
fingerprints, dirt buildup or smudges from
the disc surface. Clean the disc in a radial
motion from its center outwards.
Never use a chemically treated cloth or
flammable solvents such as paint thinner
to clean the disc.
Do not bend, scratch or wet the disc
and do not subject it to strong shocks.
Do not attach any labels or stickers on
the disc surfaces. The disc may not rotate
in a stable manner and this may cause
malfunctions.
To protect the disc, return it to its case
for storage.
When writing on the label side of the
disc, avoid hard tip pens. Use waterproof
soft-tipped felt pens instead.
Moving a disc rapidly between hot and
cold temperatures may cause
condensation to form on its surfaces. If
condensation forms on the disc, put it
aside until the water droplets have
evaporated completely.
Never expose the disc to direct sunlight
and do not store it in places subject to
high temperatures or high humidity.
Always finalize a disc before inserting it
into an external DVD device. Failing to do
so can result in the loss of the recorded
data.
Memory Card
We recommend saving backups of
memory card images on your computer.
Image data may be corrupted or lost due
to memory card defects or exposure to
static electricity. Canon Inc. makes no
warranties for corrupted or lost data.
Do not turn off the camcorder,
disconnect the power source or remove
the memory card while the CARD access
indicator is flashing.
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.
Do not touch or expose the terminals to
dust or dirt.
Check the direction before inserting the
memory card. Forcing a memory card into
the 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.
When you erase image files or initialize
the memory card, only the file allocation
table is altered and the data itself is not
actually deleted. Take the necessary
precautions when you dispose of the
