Basic Recording
• In order to protect the lens, turn off the camcorder after
you have finished recording to keep the lens cover
closed.
• Be sure to save your recordings regularly (A 161),
especially after making important recordings. Canon
shall not be liable for any loss or corruption of data.
• If a subject is too close to the camcorder, it may not be
able to focus correctly. You can set the shooting mode
to (A 95) to be able to focus a subject at a dis-
tance of only 20 cm (7.9 in.) from the camcorder.
•If 1 > q > [Auto Power Off] is set to [i On],
the camcorder will shut off automatically to save power
when it is powered by a battery pack and is left without
any operation for 3 minutes. Should this happen, set
the power switch to OFF and then ON again to turn the
camcorder back on.
• When recording in bright places, it may be difficult to
use the LCD screen. In such cases, you can adjust the
LCD backlight with the 1 > q > [LCD Back-
light] setting or adjust the brightness of the LCD screen
with the 1 > q > [LCD Brightness] setting.
