Frequently Asked Questions - MV700 CANON

How do I charge the battery pack?

How do I set the date and time?

Press the MENU button, select SYSTEM > D/TIME SET. Use the SET dial to adjust year, month, day, hour, and minute, pressing the dial after each selection. Press MENU to close.

How can I play back recordings on a TV?

Connect the supplied STV-250N stereo video cable to the camcorder's AV terminal and the TV's audio/video inputs (or use PC-A10 SCART adapter for SCART TVs). Set the TV input to VIDEO. Ensure the camcorder's AV/PHONES setting is set to AV in the VCR SETUP menu.

What should I do if the playback picture is distorted?

The video heads may be dirty. Use a Canon Head Cleaning Cassette (or compatible digital video head cleaning cassette) to clean the heads. Follow the instructions on the cleaning cassette.

How do I use the Night mode?

Set the program selector to P, then press the NIGHT MODE button until the desired night mode symbol appears. The camcorder switches to Auto mode when pressed again. Note that moving subjects may leave trails.

Can I connect the camcorder to a computer?

Yes, using a DV (IEEE1394) cable (optional CV-150F/CV-250F) connected to the camcorder's DV terminal. Use appropriate video editing software. The MV700 does not support USB connection.

How do I adjust the focus manually?

What type of cassette should I use?

Use only MiniDV video cassettes. The camcorder supports SP and LP recording modes. An 80-minute cassette records up to 80 minutes in SP or 120 minutes in LP.

How do I prevent accidental erasure of my tape?

Slide the write-protect tab on the cassette to the left (SAVE position). To record again, slide it back to the right. If you load a protected cassette in CAMERA mode, an alert appears.

My camcorder turns off automatically. Why?

The camcorder has an auto power-off feature that activates after 5 minutes in record pause mode to protect the tape and heads. It also powers off if the battery is exhausted. Press any button or turn the power off and on again.

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 in places subject to magnetic or electric fields such as near the TV transmitters or portable communication devices.
○ 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 (136).

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 .
○ 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

○ Move the viewfinder upward. Remove the protect cover and clean the glass with a cotton swab. Reattach the protect cover when finished.

○ Be careful not to scratch the glass when cleaning.

Video Heads

○ 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.

○ 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 a warm, humid place

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

When the camcorder is left in a humid room

Illustration of a snowman, a vintage camera, and a small jar with motion lines (no text or symbols)

When a cold room is heated rapidly

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

How to avoid condensation:

Illustration of a blender with a digital camera and two smaller containers, showing heat dissipation (no text or symbols)

○ 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.

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.

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 °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 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 °C. 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.
Although the battery pack's operating temperature range is from 0 °C to 40 °C, the optimal range is from 10 °C to 30 °C. At cold temperatures, performance will temporarily decline. Warm it in your pocket before use.
○ Replace the battery pack if the usable time after full charge diminishes substantially at normal temperatures.

About the battery terminal cover

The battery terminal cover has a [1] 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 [1] shaped hole shows the blue label.

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 the left. (This switch position is usually labelled 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.

    C --> E["Arrow pointing inward"]

4 seconds and 📄 starts flashing. If you wish to record on that cassette, slide the tab back to the right.

MV750i/MV730i Memory Card Handling Precautions

○ Format new memory cards with the camcorder. Memory cards formatted with other devices such as a computer may not operate correctly.
We recommend saving backups of memory card images on your computer's hard drive or other external memory device. Image data may be corrupted or lost due to memory card defects or exposure to static electricity. Canon Inc. makes no warranties for corrupted or lost data.
- Do not turn off the camcorder, disconnect the power source, open the memory card cover or remove the memory card while the card access indicator is flashing.
○ 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 memory cards.
○ Do not bend, drop, or subject memory cards to shocks and do not expose them to water.

○ Moving a memory card rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation to form on its external and internal surfaces. If condensation forms on the card, put it aside until the droplets have evaporated completely.
○ Do not touch or expose the terminals to dust or dirt.
- Check the direction before inserting the memory card. Forcing a memory card backwards into the slot may damage the memory card or the camcorder.
- Do not remove the label from the memory card, or affix other labels on the memory card.
