Handling
Precautions
Camcorder
Be
sure to observe the following
precautions to ensure maximum
performance.
• Back up your recordings
periodically.
Make
sure
to
transfer
your
recordings
to
an external device
such as a
computer
or
digital video
recorder
(QJ
82) and
back
them
up
on a regular basis. This will
protect
your
important
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.
• Do
not
leave
the
camcorder
in places
subject
to
high temperatures (like the
inside
of
a
car
under
direct sunlight),
or
high humidity.
• Do
not
use
the
camcorder
near strong
electromagnetic fields such as above
TVs, near plasma TVs
or
mobile
phones.
• Do
not
point
the lens at strong light
sources. Do not leave the
camcorder
pointed at a
bright
subject.
• Do
not
use
or
store the
camcorder
in
dusty
or
sandy places. The
camcorder
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.
• 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.
• When mounting
the
camcorder
on a
tripod,
make
sure
that
the
tripod's
fastening screw is shorter than
5.5
mm
(0.2 in.) and
that
its camera-
positioning pin is retractable (not
fixed). Using
other
tripods
may
damage
the camcorder.

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