Camcorder
Be
sure to observe the following
precautions to ensure maximum
performance. Make sure to also observe
the precautions pertaining to the
hard
disk,
as
hard
disk damage
may
result
in
permanent data loss.
•
Back
up
your
recordings
periodically.
Make sure
to
transfer
your movies
to
an external device
such as a
computer
or
digital video
recorder
(CD
40) 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 hard disk. Canon shall not be
liable for any data loss.
•
Do
not
subject
the
camcorder
to
vibrations
or
strong
impacts.
The
hard disk is a high-precision device.
Vibrations, strong impacts
or
dropping the camcorder may result
in
the hard disk not being recognized
or
may cause recording/playback
to
stop
unexpectedly. Be especially
careful while the HOD access
indicator is on
or
flashing. Avoid
recording
in
very loud places. When
using a shoulder strap,
do
not
allow
the camcorder to swing and hit
an
object.
•
Keep
the
drop
sensor
activated
whenever
possible.
This camcorder
is equipped with a sensor that
detects acceleration. Should the
camcorder be dropped
or
subject
to
a
similar condition, a mechanism
designed to help prevent hard disk
damage will activate and recording/
playback may
stop
or
the camcorder
may turn off. Deactivating this
function
(CD
47) can increase the
likelihood
of
hard
disk
damage should
the camcorder be subject to such
conditions. Even if this function is set
to
Illm
ON], hard disk damage can
occur if the camcorder is dropped.
•
Do
not
disconnect
the
power
source
while
the
HOD
access
indicator
is
on
or
flashing.
While
data is being written onto the hard
disk, disconnecting the power source
or
turning off the camcorder may
result in hard disk damage
or
permanent data loss.
•
Use
the
camcorder
within
its
operating
temperature
range. If the
camcorder's temperature becomes
too
hot or
too
cold, recording/
playback may
stop
in
order to prevent
hard disk damage.
In
such
temperatures, a warning will appear
on the screen.
•
Do
not
use
the
camcorder
at
high
altitudes.
To
prevent hard disk
damage,
do
not turn on
or
use the
camcorder at altitudes higher than
3,000 m (9,800
ft.) above sea level
or
in other places with low atmospheric
pressure.
•
Initialize
the
hard
disk
when
movies
cannot
be
recorded/played
back
normally.
As movies are recorded
and deleted over time, hard disk
fragmentation may occur, which may
