Charging, Recording and Playback Time
Below times are approximate and vary according to the charging, recording or
playback conditions.
Charging Time
• Charge the battery pack in temperatures between 5º C and 40º C.
•A lithium ion battery pack can be charged at any charge state. Unlike conventional
battery packs, you do not need to completely use or discharge it before charging.
Recording Time
* Approximate times for recording with repeated operations such as start/stop, zooming, power
on/off. Actual time may be shorter.
•We recommend that you prepare battery packs 2 to 3 times longer than you think you
might need.
•To conserve battery charge, turn off the camcorder instead of leaving it in record pause
mode.

How much power is left?
The battery symbols indicate the charge status of the battery
pack.
When the battery pack is empty, “CHANGE THE BATTERY PACK”
appears for 4 seconds and starts flashing.
The battery charge indicators are not constant – they vary
according to the condition under which battery pack and
camcorder are used.
Battery Pack Handling Precautions
DANGER!
Treat the battery pack with care.
• Keep it away from fire (or it might explode.)
• Do not expose the battery pack to temperature higher than 60º C. Do not leave
it near a heater or inside a car in hot weather.
• Do not try to disassemble or modify it.
• Do not drop or knock it.
• Do not get it wet.
❍ Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on
the day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full charge.
❍ Attach the terminal cover whenever a battery pack is not in use. Contact to metallic
objects may cause a short circuit and damage the battery pack.
❍ Dirty terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and the
camcorder. Wipe the terminals with a soft cloth.
❍ Since storing a charged battery pack for a long time (about 1 year) can shorten its
lifecycle or affect performance, we recommend to discharge the battery pack fully
and to store it in a dry place at temperatures no higher than 30˚ C. If you do not
use the battery pack for long periods, charge and discharge it fully at least once a
year. If you have more than 1 battery pack, perform these precautions at the same
time for all battery packs.
❍ Although the battery pack’s operating temperature range is from 0˚ C to 40˚ C, the
optimal range is from 10˚ C to 30˚ C. At cold temperatures, performance will
temporarily decline. Warm it in your pocket before use.
❍ Replace the battery pack if the usable time after full charge diminishes substantially
at normal temperatures.

Tips for Making Better Videos
Holding the Camcorder
For maximum stability, grip the camcorder in your right hand and keep your right
elbow pressed against your body. If necessary, support the camcorder with your left
hand. Be careful that your fingers do not touch the microphone or lens.
For More Stability
Lighting
When recording outdoors, we recommend
recording with the sun at your back.

sound recorded in LP mode may be distorted. We recommend using the
SP mode for important recordings.
❍ We recommend recording in SP mode if you plan to transfer the images to a
computer.
❍ If you record in both SP and LP modes on the same tape, the playback picture
may become distorted and the time code may not be written correctly.
❍ If you play back a tape that has been recorded in LP mode with another digital
device on this camcorder, or vice versa, picture and sound may become
distorted.

Tur ning Off the Image Stabilizer
Canon‘s optical image stabilizer allows you to obtain steady recordings even at
telephoto. Unlike electronic image stabilizers, it causes no loss in picture quality. There
is no need to turn off the image stabilizer during normal recording. However, the
camcorder tries to compensate for horizontal movements and you may therefore
decide to turn it off during panning. The image stabilizer cannot be turned off in the
Easy Recording mode.
Open the menu and select [CAMERA SET UP]. Select [IMAGE S. i], set it
to [OFF] and close the menu.
i disappears.
❍ This function can be assigned to the CSTM KEY ( 52).
❍ We recommend turning off the image stabilizer when you mount the
camcorder on a tripod.

Converting Analog Signals into Digital
Signals (Analog-Digital Converter)
By connecting the camcorder to a VCR or 8mm video camcorder, you can convert
analog video/audio signals to digital signals and output the digital signals via the DV
terminal. The DV terminal serves as output terminal only.
❍ Unload the tape from the camcorder.
❍ Turn off all devices before starting the connections.
❍ Depending on the signal sent from the connected device, the conversion from
analog to digital signals might not work properly (e.g., signals that include
copyright protective signals or anomalous signals such as ghost signals).
❍ When connecting to a TV/video with SCART terminal, use a SCART adapter
with input capability (commercially available). The supplied SCART Adapter
PC-A10 is for output only.
We recommend powering the camcorder from a household power source.

Connecting to a Computer Using a USB Cable
You can download images from the memory card to a computer using the supplied
USB cable.
❍ Do not disconnect the USB cable, open the memory card cover, remove the
memory card, change the position of the POWER switch or turn off the
camcorder and computer while data is being transferred to the computer
(while the camcorder’s card access indicator is flashing). Doing so may damage
the memory card’s data.
❍ Operation may not work correctly depending on the software and the
specifications/settings of your computer.
❍ The image file on your memory card and the image files saved on the hard disk
drive of your computer are valuable, original data files. If you wish to use
image files on your computer, make copies of them first, and use the copied
file, retaining the original.
❍ We recommend powering the camcorder from a household power source
while it is connected to the computer.
❍ Refer also to the computer instruction manual.
❍ Still images/movies recorded on a tape cannot be transferred to a computer via
USB interface.
❍ For transferring recordings from to a computer using a DV cable, see p. 107.
❍ Users of Windows XP and Mac OS X:
Your camcorder is equipped with the standard Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP)
allowing you to download still images (JPEG only) by simply connecting the
camcorder to a computer via USB cable without installing the software from
the DIGITAL VIDEO SOLUTION DISK.
❍ Users of Windows XP can use the DV Network Software contained on the
DIGITAL VIDEO SOLUTION DISK For Windows. For details, refer to the DV
Network Software Instruction Manual.
Selecting the USB Connection Mode
You can choose between [STANDARD] and [STORAGE] mode when connecting the
camcorder to a computer using the USB cable.
[STANDARD]
The camcorder automatically selects the correct mode for downloading still images or
MPEG-4 movies to the computer. When downloading or printing still images, set the
camcorder to still image playback mode and connect it to a computer or a printer.
When downloading movies, set the camcorder to movie playback mode and connect
it to a computer.
We recommend setting the USB connection mode to [STANDARD].

[STORAGE]
When the camcorder is set to [STORAGE], it will be recognized as [Removable Disk]
(USB mass storage device) by the computer. You can use the camcorder like a card
reader/writer and download/upload still images and movies to/from the computer
without installing the provided software (e.g. using Windows Explorer).
Still Images are saved in the [***CANON] folder of the [DCIM] folder, and movies are
saved in the [PRL***] folder of the [SD_VIDEO] folder.
Do not connect the camcorder to a printer when [USB CONNECT] is set to
[STORAGE], or in movie playback mode when [USB CONNECT] is set to
[STANDARD] mode.
❍ In [STANDARD] mode, install the software provided on the DIGITAL VIDEO
SOLUTION DISK when downloading still images to a computer. With the
software, you can browse and archive images or arrange still images for printout.
❍ Users of Windows 98 must install the DVC Storage Driver from the DIGITAL
VIDEO SOLUTION DISK For Windows when downloading movies to a computer
in [STANDARD] mode or when you have set the camcorder to [STORAGE]
mode. With Windows Me/Windows 2000/Windows XP, an OS standard driver

Memory Card Information
Images recorded on a memory card with this camcorder can be transferred to a
computer using the following products for SD Memory Cards or MultiMediaCards:
PC Card Adapter: An adapter to insert a memory card into the card slot on the
computer.
USB Reader/Writer: Connects to the USB port of a computer for direct access to the
memory card.
Memory Card Handling Precautions
❍ Format new memory cards with the camcorder. Memory cards formatted 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.
❍ Store and carry memory cards in the supplied case to protect the terminals.
❍ 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. If you wish to add labels, affix them to the case.

Maintenance
Camcorder Handling Precautions
❍ Do not carry the camcorder by the LCD panel or viewfinder.
❍ Do not leave the camcorder in places subject to high temperatures, such as a sun-
heated car, and high humidity.
❍ Do not use the camcorder in places subject to magnetic or electric fields such as
near the TV transmitters or portable communication devices.
❍ Do not point the lens or viewfinder at strong light sources. Do not leave the
camcorder pointed at a bright subject.
❍ Do not use the camcorder in dusty or sandy places. Dust or sand getting inside the
cassette or camcorder may cause damage. Dust and sand can also damage the lens.
Attach the lens cap after use.
❍ The camcorder is not waterproof. Water, mud or salt getting inside the cassette or
camcorder may cause damage.
❍ Be careful of heat generated by lighting equipment.
❍ Do not disassemble the camcorder. If the camcorder does not function properly,
consult qualified service personnel.
❍ Handle the camcorder with care. Do not subject the camcorder to shocks or
vibration as this may cause damage.
❍ Avoid sudden changes in temperature. Moving the camcorder rapidly between hot
and cold temperatures may cause condensation to form on its internal surfaces
( 161).
Storage
❍ If you do not intend to use the camcorder for a long time, store it in a place free of
dust, in low humidity, and at temperatures not higher than 30˚C.
❍ After storage, check the functions of your camcorder to make sure that the
camcorder is still working properly.
Cleaning
Camcorder Body and Lens
❍ Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camcorder body and lens. Never use chemically
treated cloth or volatile solvents such as paint thinner.
LCD Screen
❍ Clean the LCD screen using a commercially available cleaning cloth for glasses.
❍ Condensation may form on the surface of the screen when the temperature
changes suddenly. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth.

Information
E
❍ At cold temperatures, the screen may be darker than usual. This is not a
malfunction. The screen returns to normal when the camcorder warms up.
Viewfinder
❍ Extend the viewfinder and move it upward. Remove the
protect cover and clean the glass with a cotton swab.
Reattach the protect cover when finished.
❍ Be careful not to scratch the glass when cleaning.
Video Heads
❍ When the message “HEADS DIRTY, USE CLEANING CASSETTE” appears, or when
the playback picture becomes distorted, the video heads need to be cleaned.
❍ To maintain the best picture quality, we recommend cleaning the video heads
frequently with the Canon DVM-CL Digital Video Head Cleaning Cassette or a
commercially available dry cleaning cassette.
❍ Do not use wet type cleaning cassettes as this may damage the camcorder.

Condensation
Moving the camcorder rapidly between hot and cold temperature 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:
How to avoid condensation:
❍ Unload the cassette, place the camcorder in an airtight plastic bag and let it adjust
to temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.
When condensation is detected:
❍ The camcorder stops operating and the warning message “CONDENSATION HAS
BEEN DETECTED” appears for approx. 4 seconds and h starts flashing.
❍ If a cassette is loaded, the warning message “REMOVE THE CASSETTE” appears and
v starts flashing. Remove the cassette immediately and leave the cassette
compartment open. Leaving the cassette in the camcorder may damage the tape.
❍ A cassette cannot be loaded when condensation is detected.
Resuming use:
❍ It takes about 1 hour until the water droplets evaporate. After the condensation
warning stops flashing, wait for 1 more hour before resuming use.

air-conditioned room to a warm, humid
place
When the camcorder is moved from a
cold place to a warm room
When the camcorder is left in a humid
room
