ing important recordings. Canon shall not be liable for any loss or cor-
ruption of data.

• About the Power Save mode: If [Power Saving Mode] is set to
[ On], the camcorder will shut off automatically to save power when
it is powered by a battery pack and is left without any operation for 5
minutes. Press to turn on the camcorder.
• When recording in bright places, it may be difficult to use the LCD
screen. In such cases, you can turn on the LCD backlight ( 24) or
adjust the brightness of the LCD screen with the [LCD Bright-
ness] setting.
Selecting the Video Quality (Recording Mode)
The camcorder offers 3 recording modes. Changing the recording
mode will change the recording time available on the memory. Select
XP mode for better movie quality; select LP mode for longer recording
times. The following table gives approximate recording times.
NOTES
• The camcorder uses a variable bit rate (VBR) to encode video so the
actual recording times will vary depending on the content of the
scenes.
• The camcorder retains the last setting used even if you set the cam-
corder to mode.
