Do's and Don'ts Handling Precautions Camcorder Be sure to observe the following precautions to ensure maximum performance. • Save your recordings periodically. Make sure to transfer your record- ings to an external device such as a computer or digital video recorder (0 116) 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. When using a wrist strap, do not allow the camcorder to swing and hit an object. • Handle the touch screen with care. Do not apply excessive force and do not use ballpoint pens or other hard-tipped objects other than the stylus pen to operate the touch screen. This may damage the touch screen's surface or the pressure-sensitive layer beneath it. • Do not attach protective film on the touch screen. The touch screen's operation is based on detecting applied pressure, so you may not be able to correctly operate the touch screen with an additional protective layer. • 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 above TVs, near plasma TVs or mobile phones. • When using the camcorder, do not place it in narrow, confined places. • 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. • Make sure you can unplug the compact power adapter from the power outlet quickly should the need arise. • Be careful of heat generated by lighting equipment. • Do not disassemble the camcorder. If the camcorder does not function properly, consult qualified service personnel. 166 Š Additional Information
