Storage
If you do not intend to use the camcorder for some time, store it in an area which
is free of dust and moisture, and where the temperature is no higher than 86°F
(30°C). After storage, check each part and function of your camcorder to make
sure everything is still working properly.
Note:
• These cautions also apply to accessories such as battery packs and cassettes.
Maintenance
LCD
• Clean the LCD screen using a commercially available cleaning cloth for glasses.
• Where there is a big change in temperature, moisture may form on the surface
of the screen. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
• At low temperatures the display may appear to be much darker than usual. This
is not a fault, and as the screen warms up the display will return to normal.
Camcorder body and lens
• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camcorder body or lens. Never use chemically
treated cloth or volatile solvents such as paint thinner.
Video heads
• When mosaic-like noise appears on the playback picture,
the video heads may be dirty. When the video heads are
badly contaminated, the camcorder may show a blank blue
screen or a warning.
• For the best picture possible, after using the camcorder for
approximately 20 hours, clean the video heads using
Canon's DVM-CL Digital Video Head Cleaning Cassette. If the "noise"
remains, repeat the cleaning (up to maximum of 5 times).
• Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette, as this can cause damage.
