Information
LCD
• Clean the LCD screen using a commercially available cleaning cloth for
glasses.
• Moving the camcorder between hot and cold temperatures may cause
condensation (water droplets) to form on the surface of the screen. Wipe
the screen with a soft, dry cloth.
• At low temperatures, the display may appear to be much darker than
usual. This is not a malfunction. 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.
Maintenance
If you do not intend to use the camcorder for a longer time, store it in a dry
place free of dust and at temperatures no higher than 30°C (85°F). 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.
