Handling Precautions
Camcorder
Be sure to observe the following precautions to ensure maximum performance.
• Do not carry the camcorder by the OLED panel. Be careful when closing the OLED panel.
• Do not leave the camcorder in places subject to high temperatures (like the inside of a car parked under direct
sunlight), or high humidity.
• Do not use the camcorder near strong electromagnetic fields such as near powerful magnets and motors, MRI
machines or high-voltage power lines. Using the camcorder in such places may cause anomalies in the video or
audio or video noise to appear.
• Do not use the camcorder’s Wi-Fi functions inside hospitals, medical clinics or onboard aircraft. In addition, do
not use them near medical equipment or sensitive electronic devices as it may affect their performance. In the
case of pacemakers, keep the camcorder at least 22 cm (8.7 in.) away from the device.
• 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 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. Consult a Canon Service Center as soon as possible.
• Be careful to avoid dust and dirt particles accumulating on the lens or entering the camcorder. When you finish using
the camcorder, make sure to remove the lens hood and attach the lens cap to the camcorder.
• Do not point the camcorder or viewfinder 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. Be careful especially when using a tripod or shoulder strap. When you are not using the
camcorder, make sure to attach the lens cap to the camcorder.
• 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 using the shoulder strap, do not allow the camcorder to swing and hit an object.
Long-term 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).
Battery Pack
• Dirty terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and the camcorder. Wipe the terminals
with a soft cloth.
DANGER!

• Keep it away from fire (or it might explode).
• Do not expose the battery pack to temperature higher than 60 °C (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 it or subject it to shocks.
