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
(
A
107) 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.
•
Handle the touch screen with care.
Do not apply excessive force and
do not use ballpoint pens or other hard-tipped tools to operate the
touch screen. This may damage the touch screen’s surface.
• 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 or near plasma TVs.

Do not use the camcorder’s Wi-Fi functions inside hospi-
tals, medical clinics or onboard aircraft. In addition, do not use them
near medical equipment or sensitive electronic devices as it may affect
their performance. In the case of pacemakers, keep the camcorder at
least 22 cm (8.7 in.) away from the device.

The camcorder’s Wi-Fi functions may be subject to inter-
ference from devices such as cordless phones and microwave ovens.
Keeping as much distance as possible from these devices or using the
camcorder’s Wi-Fi functions at a different time of day may reduce such
interference.
• Do not point the lens at strong light sources. Do not leave the cam-
corder 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.
