• Do not attach any labels or stickers on the disc surfaces. The disc may not rotate in a stable manner and this may cause malfunctions. • To protect the disc, return it to its case for storage. • When writing on the label side of the disc, avoid hard tip pens. Use waterproof soft-tipped felt pens instead. • Moving a disc rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation to form on its surfaces. If condensation forms on the disc, put it aside until the water droplets have evaporated completely. • Never expose the disc to direct sunlight and do not store it in places subject to high temperatures or high humidity. • Always finalize a disc before inserting it into an external DVD device. Failing to do so can result in the loss of the recorded data. Memory Card • We recommend backing up the still images recorded on the memory card onto your computer. Data may be corrupted or lost due to memory card defects or exposure to static electricity. Canon shall not be liable for lost or corrupted data. • Do not touch or expose the terminals to dust or dirt. • Do not use memory cards in places subject to strong magnetic fields. • Do not leave memory cards in places subject to high humidity and high temperature. • Do not disassemble, bend, drop, or subject memory cards to shocks and do not expose them to water. 82 • Additional Information • Check the direction before inserting the memory card. Forcing a memory card into the slot if it is not correctly oriented may damage the memory card or the camcorder. • Do not attach any labels or stickers on the memory card. • SD/SDHC memory cards have a physical switch to prevent writing on the card so as to avoid the accidental erasure of the card's content. To write-protect the memory card set the switch to the LOCK position. LOCK switch Disposal When you erase still images or initialize the memory card, only the file allocation table is altered and stored data is not physically erased. Take the necessary precautions when you dispose of the memory card, for example by physically damaging it to prevent the leakage of private data. If giving the memory card to another person, initialize it using the [COMPL.INIT.] option ( 57). Fill it up with unimportant still images, and then initialize it again using the same option. This makes recovering the original still images very difficult.
