This may cause injury or damage to the product.
• Do not leave the product in places exposed to extremely high or low temperatures. The product may become
extremely hot/cold and cause burns or injury when touched.
• Only mount the product on a tripod that is sufficiently sturdy.
Camcorder
Be sure to observe the following precautions to ensure maximum performance.
• 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 lens.
• 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 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 not using the camcorder,
remove the lens hood and attach the lens cap to the lens. When not using the viewfinder, attach the viewfinder
cap to the viewfinder.
• Do not carry the camcorder by the LCD panel. Be careful when closing the LCD panel.
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).
