[@ Reset}: File numbers wil restart from 100-0001 every time you

record on a memory that has been initialized.

Continuous]: File numbers wil continue from the number following

that of the last file recorded with the camcorder.

+ Ifthe memory card you insert already contains a file with a larger num- ber, a new flle will be assigned a number one higher than that of the last file on the memory card.

+ We recommend using the [Æ Continuous] setting.

+ Folder names, on the other hand, appear in a format such as

“101-0501”. The first three digits indicate the folder number and the last

four digits indicate the month and day (May 1, for the example folder

Folders can contain up to 500 files (MP4 movies and photos combined)

and a new folder is created every time a folder exceeds this number.

The first three digits of the file number range from 100 to 999 and the

last four digits range from 0001 to 9900. File numbers are automatically

assigned consecutive numbers.

Handling Precautions

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 (CA 104) and save them on a regular basis. This wil 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 LOD 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 (Ike the inside of a car parked under direct sunligh®, or high humidity.

Do not use the camcorder near strong electromagnetic fields such as above TVS or near plasma Ts.

CD / CG Do not use the camcorders Wi-Fi functions inside hospitals, 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 cam- corder at least 22 cm away from the device.

ED / RE The camcorders Wi-Fi functions may be subject to interference from devices such as cordiess phones and microwave ovens. Keeping as much distance as possible from these devices or using the camcorder's Wi-Fi functions at à 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.

170 + Additional Information

+ Do not disassemble the camcorder. If the camcorder does not function proper, consult qualfied service personnel. + Handie the camcorder with care. Do not subject the camcorder to shocks or vibration as this may cause damage. + When mounting the camcorder on a tipod, make sure that the tripods fas- tening screw is shorter than 5.5 mm. Using other tripods may damage the camcorder.

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

If you do not intend to use the camcorder for a long time, store it in a place free of dust, in low humidity, and at temperatures not higher than

Treat the battery pack with care.

+ Keep it away from fire (or it might explode).

+ Do not expose the battery pack to temperature higher than 60 °C. Do not leave it near a heater or inside a car in hot weather.

+ Do not try to disassemble or modify it.

+ Do not drop it or subject it to shocks.

+ Do not get it wet.

+ Dirty terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and the camcorder. Wipe the terminals with a soft cloth.

Additional Information + 171

+ 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 full at least once a year.

Remaining battery time

When you are using a battery pack that is compatible with Inteligent Sys- tem, ifthe remaining battery time displayed is not correct, charge the bat- tery pack fully. Stil, 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.

+ 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 i is not correcily 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.

Built-in Rechargeable Lithium Battery

The camcorder has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery to keep the date/time and other settings. The built-in lithium battery is recharged while you use the camcorder; however, it will discharge completely if you do not use the camcorder for about 3 months.

To recharge the built-in lithium battery: Connect the compact power adapter to the camcorder and leave it connected for 24 hours with the camcorder off

When you delete movies or initialize the memory, only the file allocation table is altered and stored data is not physicall erased. When you dis- pose of the camcorder or memory card or give either to another per- son, initialize the camcorder's built-in memory (GI HER47TAHER46] only) or memory card using the [Complete Initialization] option (LL 31). Fillit up with unimportant recordings, and then initialize it again using the same option. This makes recovering the original recordings very difficult.

+ Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camcorder body. Never use chemically treated cloths or volatile solvents such as paint thinner.

Lens + Ifthe lens surface is dirty, autofocus may not work properly.

+ Remove any dust or dirt particles using a non-aerosol type blower brush.

+ Use a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth to gentiy wipe the lens. Never use tissue paper.

LCD Touch Screen + Clean the LCD touch screen using a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth.

+ Condensation may form on the surface of the screen when the temper- ature changes suddenly. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth.

Moving the camcorder rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may. cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its internal surfaces. Stop using the camcorder if condensation is detected. Continued use may damage the camcorder.

Condensation may form in the following cases:

+ When the camcorder is moved quickly from cold to warm places + When the camcorder is left in a humidl room

+ When a cold room is heated rapidly

To avoid condensation

+ Do not expose the camcorder to sudden or extreme changes in tem- perature.

174 + Additional Information

+ Remove the memory card and battery pack. Then, place the camcorder in an airtight plastic bag and let it adjust gradually to temperature changes before removing it from the bag.

When condensation is detected The precise time required for water droplets to evaporate will vary depending on the location and weather conditions. As a general rule, wait for 2 hours before resuming use of the camcorder.

Using the Camcorder Abroad

Power Sources You can use the compact power adapter to operate the camcorder and to charge battery packs in any country with power supply between 100 and 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Consult a Canon Service Center for information on plug adapters for overseas use.

Playback on a TV Screen You can only play back your recordings on TVs compatible with the PAL system. PAL (or the compatible SECAM system) is used in the following regions/countries:
