About the LCD and viewfinder screen: The screens are produced with extremely high-precision manufacturing techniques, with more than 99.99% of the pixels operating to specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as black or green dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.
The camcorder will shut off after 5 minutes when left in record pause mode to protect tape and video heads. "AUTO POWER OFF" appears 20 seconds before shutoff. To continue recording, turn the POWER switch to OFF and then back to CAMERA.
- Wait until the tape counter stops completely before you start recording.
When you do not remove the cassette, you can record the next scene without producing any noise or blank sections between the recordings even if you turn the camcorder off.
- Bright light may make it difficult to use the LCD screen. In such case, use the viewfinder instead.
When recording near loud sounds (such as fireworks, drums or concerts), sound may become distorted or may be recorded not in the actual sound level. This is not a malfunction.

Allowing the Subject to Monitor the LCD Screen

You can rotate the LCD panel so that the screen faces in the same direction as the lens. The viewfinder switches on allowing you to use the viewfinder while the subject can monitor the screen.

The image appears mirror reversed (LCD MIRROR ON). However, you can choose to display the image as it is being recorded (LCD MIRROR OFF).

Tips for Making Better Videos

Holding the Camcorder

For maximum stability, grip the camcorder in your right hand and keep your right elbow pressed against your body. If necessary, support the camcorder with your left hand. Be careful that your fingers do not touch the microphone or lens.

For More Stability

When using a tripod, do not leave the viewfinder exposed to direct sunlight as it may melt (due to concentration of the light by the lens).

Do not use tripods with fastening screws longer than 5.5 mm (0.2 in.) as it may damage the camcorder.

File Numbers

Images are automatically assigned file numbers from 0101 to 9900 and stored in folders containing up to 100 images. Folders are assigned numbers from 101 to 998.

You can choose to use consecutive file numbers (CONTINUOUS) or to reset the file number each time a different memory card is inserted (RESET). We recommend setting the file numbers to CONTINUOUS.

RESET The file number	will be reset each time a new memory card is inserted. If the memory card already contains image files, the consecutive file number will be assigned.
CONTINUOUS The ca	mcorder memorizes the file number of the last image and assigns the consecutive file number to the next image, even when a new memory card is inserted. (If a higher file number already exists on the memory card, the consecutive number will be assigned.) There will be no duplication of file numbers. This is useful for organizing images on a computer.

Camcorder Handling Precautions

• Do not carry the camcorder by the LCD panel or viewfinder.
  Do not leave the camcorder in places subject to high temperatures, such as a sun-heated car, and high humidity.
  Do not use the camcorder near strong electric or magnetic fields such as above TVs, near plasma TVs or mobile phones.
  Do not point the lens or viewfinder at strong light sources. Do not leave the camcorder pointed at a bright subject.
  Do not use the camcorder in dusty or sandy places. Dust or sand getting inside the cassette or camcorder may cause damage. Dust and sand can also damage the lens. Attach the lens cap after use.
  The camcorder is not waterproof. Water, mud or salt getting inside the cassette or camcorder may cause damage.
• 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.
• Avoid sudden changes in temperature. Moving the camcorder rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation to form on its internal surfaces ( 145).

Storage

☐ 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 30 °C ( 86 °F ).
- After storage, check the functions of your camcorder to make sure that the camcorder is still working properly.

Cleaning

Camcorder Body and Lens

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

LCD Screen

○ Clean the LCD screen using a commercially available cleaning cloth for glasses.
- Condensation may form on the surface of the screen when the temperature changes suddenly. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth.
- At cold temperatures, the screen may be darker than usual. This is not a malfunction. The screen returns to normal when the camcorder warms up.

Viewfinder

- Clean the viewfinder screen using a blower brush or a commercially available cleaning cloth for glasses.

Video Heads

When the message "HEADS DIRTY, USE CLEANING CASSETTE" appears, or when the playback picture becomes distorted, the video heads need to be cleaned.
To maintain the best picture quality, we recommend cleaning the video heads frequently with the Canon DVM-CL Digital Video Head Cleaning Cassette or a commercially available dry cleaning cassette.
☐ Tapes already recorded with dirty video heads may not be played back correctly even when you clean the video heads.
Do not use wet type cleaning cassettes as this may damage the camcorder.

Condensation

Moving the camcorder rapidly between hot and cold temperature 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 from an air-conditioned room to warm, humid place

When the camcorder is moved from a cold place to a warm room

Illustration of a cartoon-style house with smoke and a gun, accompanied by a sad sun emerging from ground (no text or symbols)

When the camcorder is left in a humid room

Illustration of a megaphone emitting smoke from a snowman, with a separate view of a cylindrical device inside a house (no text or symbols)

When a cold room is heated rapidly

Illustration of three kitchen appliances: a toaster, a blender with smoke, and a digital camera (no text or symbols)

Illustration of a portable radio emitting sound waves from two speakers (no text or symbols)

How to avoid condensation:

○ Unload the cassette, place the camcorder in an airtight plastic bag and let it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.

When condensation is detected:

The camcorder stops operating and the warning message "CONDENSATION HAS BEEN DETECTED" appears for approx. 4 seconds and "starts flashing.
If a cassette is loaded, the warning message "REMOVE THE CASSETTE" appears and "starts flashing. Remove the cassette immediately and leave the cassette compartment open. Leaving the cassette in the camcorder may damage the tape."
○ A cassette cannot be loaded when condensation is detected.

E

Resuming use:

- It takes about 1 hour until the water droplets evaporate. After the condensation warning stops flashing, wait for 1 more hour before resuming use.

Battery Pack Handling Precautions

DANGER!

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^ (140 °F). 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 or knock it.

• Do not get it wet.

• Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full charge.

• Attach the terminal cover whenever a battery pack is not in use. Contact to metallic objects may cause a short circuit and damage the battery pack.
• Dirty terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and the camcorder. Wipe the terminals with a soft cloth.
• Since storing a charged battery pack for a long time (about 1 year) can shorten its lifecycle or affect performance, we recommend to discharge the battery pack fully and to store it in a dry place at temperatures no higher than 30^ ( 86^ ). If you do not use the battery pack for long periods, charge and discharge it fully at least once a year. If you have more than 1 battery pack, perform these precautions at the same time for all battery packs.
  ○ Replace the battery pack if the usable time after full charge diminishes substantially at normal temperatures.
  Although the battery pack's operating temperature range is from 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F), the optimal range is from 10 °C to 30 °C (56 °F to 86 °F). At cold temperatures, performance will temporarily decline. Warm it in your pocket before use.

About the battery terminal cover

The battery terminal cover has a [ ]-shaped hole. This is useful when you wish to differentiate between charged and uncharged battery packs. For example, with charged battery packs, attach the terminal cover so that the [ ]-shaped hole shows the blue label.

WARNING!

- The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100 °C (212°F) or incinerate the battery.

CR1616:

- Replace the battery with a CR1616 made by Panasonic, Hitachi Maxell, Sony, Toshiba, Varta or Renata. Use of other batteries may present a risk of fire or explosion.

CR2025:

- Replace the battery with a CR2025 made by Panasonic, Hitachi Maxell, Sony, Sanyo, or with Duracell2025. Use of other batteries may present a risk of fire or explosion.

- The used battery should be returned to the supplier for safe disposal.

• Do not pick up the battery using tweezers or other metal tools as this will cause a short circuit.
  ○ Wipe the battery with a clean dry cloth to ensure proper contact.
  Keep the battery out of reach of children. If it is swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately. The battery case may break and the battery fluids may damage stomach and intestines.
  ○ Do not disassemble, heat or immerse the battery in water to avoid the risk of explosion.

Cassette Handling Precautions

• Rewind tapes after use. If the tape becomes slack and damaged, it may cause picture and sound distortion.
• Return cassettes in the case and store them upright.
• Do not leave the cassette in the camcorder after use.
• Do not use spliced tapes or nonstandard cassettes as they may damage the camcorder.
  Do not use tapes that have been jammed as video heads may become dirty.
• Do not insert anything into the small holes of the cassette, or cover them with cellophane tape.
  ○ Handle cassettes with care. Do not drop or subject them to severe impact as this may damage the cassettes.
• Rewind tapes from time to time if they are stored for a long time.
  With cassettes equipped with a memory function, metal plated terminals may become dirty with use. Clean the terminals with a cotton swab after about 10 times of loading/unloading. The memory function is not supported by the camcorder.

Protecting Tapes from Accidental Erasure

To protect your recordings from accidental erasure, slide the tab on the cassette to SAVE or ERASE OFF.

If you load a protected cassette in CAMERA mode, the message "THE TAPE IS SET FOR ERASURE PREVENTION" appears for approx. 4 seconds and "starts flashing. If you wish to record on that cassette, change the position of the tab.
