- Do not open the memory card slot cover.

- Do not disconnect the power source or turn off the camcorder.

- Do not change the camcorder’s operating mode.

• Be sure to save your recordings regularly ( 125), especially after mak-

ing important recordings. Canon shall not be liable for any loss or cor-

ruption of data.

NOTES

• About the Power Save mode: If [Power Saving Mode] is set to

[ On], the camcorder will shut off automatically to save power when

it is powered by a battery pack and is left without any operation for 5

minutes. Press to turn on the camcorder.

• When recording in bright places, it may be difficult to use the LCD

screen. In such cases, you can turn on the LCD backlight ( 32) or

adjust the brightness of the LCD screen with the [LCD Bright-

ness] setting.

Selecting the Video Quality (Recording Mode)

The camcorder offers 5 recording modes. Changing the recording

mode will change the recording time available on the memory. Select

MXP or FXP mode for better movie quality; select LP mode for longer

recording times. The following table gives approximate recording

times.

[ Standard Play 7 Mbps] Desired recording mode

NOTES

• AVCHD discs containing scenes recorded in MXP mode cannot be cre-

ated with the optional DW-100 DVD Burner. Use the software on the

supplied Video Tools CD-ROM to back up such scenes.

• The camcorder uses a variable bit rate (VBR) to encode video so the

actual recording times will vary depending on the content of the scenes.

• The camcorder retains the last setting used even if you set the cam-

corder to mode.
