or other external memory device. Image data may be corrupted or lost due to memory
card defects or exposure to static electricity. Canon Inc. makes no warranties for
corrupted or lost data.

card while the card access indicator is flashing.
Do not use memory cards in places subject to strong magnetic fields.
Do not leave memory cards in places subject to high humidity and high temperature.
Do not disassemble memory cards.
Do not bend, drop, or subject memory cards to shocks and do not expose them to
water.
Moving a memory card rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause
condensation to form on its external and internal surfaces. If condensation forms on the
card, put it aside until the droplets have evaporated completely.
Do not touch or expose the terminals to dust or dirt.
Check the direction before inserting the memory card. Forcing a memory card into the
slot if it is not correctly oriented may damage the memory card or t he camcorder.

card.

Built-in Rechargeable Lithium Battery
The camcorder has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery to keep the date/time and other

discharges when the usage time is short, and will become totally discharged if you do not
use the camcorder for about 3 months. In such case, recharge the built-in lithium battery:
Connect the power adapter to the camcorder and leave it connected for 24 hours with the
power switch set to OFF.
