Important Notes About the Hard Disk Drive
Your hard disk camcorder allows you to shoot and store many hours of video.
However, there are differences between recording onto a hard disk and recording
onto other media. Make sure to follow the points below when using your camcorder.
For more details, refer to Handling Precautions (
113).
Back up your recordings periodically
Make sure to transfer your movies and photos
to an external device such as a computer or
digital video recorder (
80) and back them
up regularly and especially after making
important recordings. Canon shall not be
liable for any loss or corruption of data.
Do not subject the camcorder to
vibrations or strong impacts
The hard disk is a high-precision device.
Vibrations, strong impacts or dropping the
camcorder may result in permanent data loss.
Keep the drop sensor activated
whenever possible
The drop sensor ( 96) detects when the
camcorder is dropped and activates a
protection mechanism to help prevent hard
disk damage. Turning this function off will
disable the mechanism. Even if this function
is set to [
On] and the camcorder is
dropped, hard disk damage can occur.
Do not disconnect the power source
while the camcorder is on
Always turn the camcorder off before
removing the battery or compact power
adapter.
