Cleaning

Camcorder Body

• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camcorder body. Never use chemically treated cloths or volatile solvents

such as paint thinner.

Lens

• If the lens surface is dirty, autofocus may not work properly.

• Remove any dust or dirt particles using a non-aerosol type blower.

• Use a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth to gently wipe the lens. Never tissue paper.

LCD Screen

• Clean the LCD screen using a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth using commercially available cleaning fluid for

eyeglasses.

• Condensation may form on the surface of the screen when the temperature changes suddenly. Wipe it with a

soft dry cloth.

Viewfinder Unit

• To remove dust or dirt particles, use a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth to gently wipe the viewfinder unit using

commercially available cleaning fluid for eyeglasses.

Condensation

Moving the camcorder rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to

form on its internal surfaces. Stop using the camcorder if condensation is detected. Continued use may damage

the camcorder.

Condensation may form in the following cases:

• When the camcorder is moved quickly from cold to warm places

• When the camcorder is left in a humid room

• When a cold room is heated rapidly

To avoid condensation

• Do not expose the camcorder to sudden or extreme changes in temperature.

• Remove the recording media and battery pack. Then, place the camcorder in an airtight plastic bag and let it

adjust gradually to temperature changes before removing it from the bag.

When condensation is detected

The precise time required for water droplets to evaporate will vary depending on the location and weather

conditions. As a general rule, wait for 2 hours before resuming use of the camcorder.

Using the Camcorder Abroad

Power Sources

You can use the AC adapter to operate the camcorder and to charge battery packs in any country with power

supply between 100 and 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Consult a Canon Service Center for information on plug adapters

for overseas use.
