Handling
Precautions

Camcorder
Be sure
to
observe the following
precautions
to
ensure maximum
performance.
• Back up your recordings
periodically. Make sure
to
transfer
your recordings
to
an
external device
such as a computer
or
digital video
recorder (OJ
77)
and back them up
on a regular basis. This will protect
your important recordings
in
case of
damage and create more free space
on the memory. Canon shall not be
liable for any data loss.
• When using the wrist strap
or
a
shoulder strap,
do
not allow the
camcorder
to
swing and hit
an
object.
• Do
not
carry the camcorder by the
LCD panel. Be careful when closing
the LCD panel.
• Do not leave the camcorder
in
places
subject
to
high temperatures (like the
inside
of
a car under direct sunlight),
or high humidity.
• Do not use the camcorder near strong
electromagnetic fields such as above
TVs, near plasma TVs
or
mobile
phones.
• Do not point the lens at strong light
sources. Do not leave the camcorder
pointed at a bright subject.
• Do not use or store the camcorder
in
dusty
or
sandy places. The
camcorder is not waterproof - avoid
also water, mud
or
salt. If any
of
the
above should get into the camcorder
it may damage the camcorder and/or
the lens.
• Be careful of heat generated by
lighting equipment.
• Do not disassemble the camcorder. If
the camcorder does not function
properly, consult qualified service
personnel.
• Handle the camcorder with care. Do
not subject the camcorder
to
shocks
or
vibration as this may cause
damage.
• When mounting the camcorder on a
tripod, make sure that the tripod's
fastening screw is shorter than
5.5 mm (0.2 in.). Using other tripods
may damage the camcorder.

• When recording movies, try to get a
calm, stable picture. Excessive
camcorder movement while shooting
and extensive use of fast zooms and
panning can result
in
jittery scenes.
In
extreme cases, the playback
of
such
scenes may result
in
visually induced
motion sickness. If you experience
such a reaction, immediately stop the
playback and take a rest break as
necessary.

not intend
to
