Do’s and Don’ts Do’s and Don’ts Safety Instructions and Handling Precautions Be sure to read these instructions in order to operate the product safely. Follow these instructions to prevent injury or harm to the operator of the product or others. WARNING Denotes the risk of serious injury or death. • Stop using the product in any case of unusual circumstances such as the presence of smoke or a strange smell. • Do not touch any exposed internal parts. • Do not get the product wet.
Do’s and Don’ts - Do not use leaking batteries/battery packs. If a battery/battery pack leaks and the material contacts your skin or clothing, flush the exposed area thoroughly with running water. In case of eye contact, flush thoroughly with copious amounts of clean running water and seek immediate medical assistance. - When disposing of batteries/battery packs, insulate the terminals with tape or other means. This may cause electric shock, explosion or fire.
Do’s and Don’ts • Do not allow the product to maintain contact with the same area of skin for extended periods of time during use. This may result in lowtemperature contact burns, including skin redness and blistering, even if the product does not feel hot. The use of a tripod or similar equipment is recommended when using the product in hot places and for people with circulation problems or less sensitive skin. • Periodically remove any dust buildup from the power plug and power outlet using a dry cloth.
Do’s and Don’ts • Save your recordings periodically. Make sure to transfer your recordings to an external device, such as a computer, digital video recorder or the optional CS100 Connect Station (A 141), and save them 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. • Handle the touch screen with care.
Do’s and Don’ts • b The camcorder’s Wi-Fi functions may be subject to interference from devices such as cordless phones and microwave ovens. Keeping as much distance as possible from these devices or using the camcorder’s Wi-Fi functions at a different time of day may reduce such interference. • Do not point the camcorder toward an intense light source, such as the sun on a sunny day or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or the camcorder’s internal components.
Do’s and Don’ts • 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, stop the playback immediately and take a rest break as necessary.
Do’s and Don’ts ■ Remaining battery time The camcorder uses battery packs that are compatible with Intelligent System. If the remaining battery time displayed is not correct, charge the battery pack fully. Still, 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.
Do’s and Don’ts 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 with the camcorder off.
Maintenance/Others Maintenance/Others Cleaning Camcorder Body • Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camcorder body. Never use chemically treated cloths or volatile solvents such as paint thinner. Lens • If the lens surface is dirty, autofocus may not work properly. • Remove any dust or dirt particles using a non-aerosol type blower brush. Then, use a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth to gently wipe the lens. Never use tissue paper.
Maintenance/Others • When a cold room is heated rapidly To avoid condensation • Do not expose the camcorder to sudden or extreme changes in temperature. • Remove the memory card and battery pack. Then, place the camcorder and battery pack 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.
