User Manual Canon DC220 DVD Camcorders Manuals

I don't know if you can buy this model new, but the canon dvd camcorders sold for about $ 400.00 new.

You can use this camcorder overseas.
Please refer to the following things when you plan to use it overseas.
You can connect the dedicated compact power adapter or battery charger to a power supply of between 100 and 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
However, you need a plug adapter to use the camcorder in a country where the power plug shape is different from that of your own country.
(Please note that depending on the region, the plug shape may be different even in the same country.)
For information about power adapters, consult with a local travel agency or home appliance shops.
For details on the electric voltages and power outlet types of major overseas countries, see the link below.

Using a tripod

You can record more stable images if you use a tripod. Camcorder tripods with level gauges can accurately adjust horizontal level. If you will only be using it to stabilize the camcorder, even the mini tripods used for digital cameras will do.
Canon does not sell camcorder tripods. It is advisable to use a commercially available tripod depending on the camcorder model being used.
Do not use tripods with fastening screws longer than 5.5mm, as they may damage the camcorder. The diameter of the screws for fastening the tripod is 1/4 inches.
The camcorder cannot be mounted on tripods with fixed camera positioning pins.
