Additional Information
Long-term storage
• Store battery packs in a dry place at temperatures no higher than
30 °C.
• To extend the battery life of the battery pack, discharge it completely
before storing it.
• Charge and discharge all your battery packs fully at least once a year.
Remaining battery time
When you are using a battery pack that is compatible with Intelligent Sys-
tem, if the remaining battery time displayed is not correct, charge the bat-
tery pack fully. Still, the correct time may not be displayed after a large
number of repeated uses, if a fully charged battery pack is left unused, or
if a battery pack is used for long periods of time in high temperatures. Use
the time shown on the screen as an approximation.
Memory Card
• We recommend backing up the recordings on the memory card onto
your computer. Data may be corrupted or lost due to memory card
defects or exposure to static electricity. Canon shall not be liable for lost
or corrupted data.
• Do not touch or expose the terminals to dust or dirt.
• 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.
• Check the direction before inserting the memory card. Forcing a mem-
ory card into the slot if it is not correctly oriented may damage the mem-
ory card or the camcorder.
• Do not attach any labels or stickers on the memory card.
• Secure Digital (SD) memory cards
have a physical switch to prevent writ-
ing on the card so as to avoid the
accidental erasure of the card’s con-
tent. To write-protect the memory card
set the switch to the LOCK position.
