Handling Precautions

Camcorder

Be sure to observe the following precautions to ensure maximum per-
formance.
Save your recordings periodically. Make sure to transfer your record-
ings to an external device such as a computer or digital video recorder
(0 131) and save them on a regular basis. This will protect your impor-
tant recordings in case of damage and create more free space on the
memory. Canon shall not be liable for any data loss.
Do not carry the camcorder by the LCD panel. Be careful when closing
the LCD panel. When using a wrist strap, do not allow the camcorder to
swing and hit an object.
Handle the touch screen with care. Do not apply excessive force and,
with the exception of the supplied stylus pen, do not use ballpoint pens
or other hard-tipped tools to operate the touch screen. This may dam-
age the touch screen’s surface or the pressure-sensitive layer beneath
it.
Do not attach protective film on the touch screen. The touch screen’s
operation is based on detecting applied pressure, so you may not be
able to correctly operate the touch screen with an additional protective
layer.
Do not leave the camcorder in places subject to high temperatures (like
the inside of a car parked 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 or viewfinder ( only) 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 cam-
corder 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.
