About this Manual
Thank you for purchasing the Canon XA70 / XA75. Please read this manual carefully before you use the
camcorder and retain it for future reference. Should the camcorder fail to operate correctly, refer to
Troubleshooting (A 129).
Before Using the Camcorder
• Before making important recordings for the first time, make test recordings using the video configuration(s)
you plan to use to check that the camcorder operates correctly. Should it fail to operate correctly, refer to
Troubleshooting (A 129).
• Copyright notice: Unauthorized recording of copyrighted materials may infringe on the rights of copyright
owners and be contrary to copyright laws.
• Notes on privacy and publicity rights regarding the use of video: When using the camcorder, exercise proper
caution in order to protect privacy and avoid any violation of publicity rights.
• About the LCD screen and viewfinder: The screen is produced using extremely high-precision manufacturing
techniques, with more than 99.99% of the pixels operating to specification. Very rarely, pixels may misfire or
light up permanently. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.
• About the access indicator: Observe the following precautions while the ACCESS indicator (A 32) is
illuminated or flashing in red. Failing to do so may result in permanent data loss.
- Do not disconnect the power source or turn off the camcorder.
- Do not open the card compartment cover.
- Do not change the camcorder's operating mode.
- When a USB cable is connected to the camcorder, do not disconnect the USB cable.
