With cassettes equipped with a memory function, metal plated terminals may become
dirty with use. Clean the terminals with a cotton swab after about 10 times of loading/
unloading. The memory function is not supported by the camcorder.
Protecting Tapes from Accidental Erasure
To protect your recordings from accidental
erasure, slide the tab on the cassette to the
left. (This switch position is usually labeled
SAVE or ERASE OFF.)
If you load a protected cassette in CAMERA
mode, the message “THE TAPE IS SET FOR
ERASURE PREVENTION” appears for
approx. 4 seconds and “ ” starts flashing. If
you wish to record on that cassette, slide the tab back to the right.
Memory Card Handling Precautions
Initialize new memory cards with the camcorder. Memory cards initialized with other
devices such as a computer may not operate correctly.
We recommend saving backups of memory card images on your computer’s hard drive
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.
Do not turn off the camcorder, disconnect the power source, open the memory card
cover or remove the memory 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
backwards into the slot may damage the memory card or the camcorder.
Do not remove the label from the memory card, or affix other labels on the memory
card.
