outlet.

3. Connect the power adapter to the

camcorder’s DC IN terminal.

The CHARGE indicator starts flashing. It

glows steadily when charging is complete.

To remove the power adapter:

1. Disconnect the power adapter

from the camcorder.

2. Unplug the power cord from the

power outlet.

3. Disconnect the power cord from the adapter.

Using a Household Power Source

Connect to a household power source to use the camcorder without worrying about the

battery power. You can keep the battery pack attached; the battery power will not be

consumed.

1. Turn the POWER switch to OFF.

2. Connect the power cord to the

power adapter.

3. Plug the power cord into a power

outlet.

4. Connect the power adapter to the

camcorder’s DC IN terminal.

Turn off the camcorder before connecting or disconnecting the power adapter.

Do not connect any products that are not expressly recommended to the

camcorder’s DC IN terminal or to the power adapter.

You may hear some noise from the power adapter during use. This is not a

malfunction.

Do not disconnect and reconnect the power cord while charging a battery pack.

Charging may stop. The battery pack may not be charged correctly even if the

CHARGE indicator glows steady. The battery pack may also not be charged

correctly when a power outage occurs during charging. Remove the battery

pack and attach it back to the camcorder.

When the power adapter or battery pack is defective, the CHARGE indicator

flashes rapidly (at about 2 flashes/second) and charging stops.

The CHARGE indicator informs you about the charge status.

We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 50 °F and

86 °F (10 °C and 30 °C). Outside the temperature range of 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C

to 40 °C), the CHARGE indicator flashes rapidly and charging stops.

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.

To conserve battery power, turn off the camcorder instead of leaving it in record

pause mode.

We recommend that you prepare battery packs 2 to 3 times longer than you

think you might need.

Use only videocassettes marked with the

logo.

1. Slide the OPEN/EJECT switch and

open the cassette compartment

Do not interfere with the cassette compartment while it is opening or closing

automatically, or attempt to close the cover before the cassette compartment

has fully retracted.

Be careful not to get your fingers caught in the cassette compartment cover.

Recording Movies on a Tape

Before You Begin Recording

Make a test recording first to check if the camcorder operates correctly. If necessary,

clean the video heads (

148).

1. Set the camcorder to CAMERA

• Set the POWER switch to CAMERA and

the TAPE/CARD switch to

• The POWER indicator lights up.

2. Press the start/stop button to

begin recording.

Press the start/stop button again to pause

recording.

When You Have Finished Recording

1. Turn the POWER switch to OFF.

2. Close the LCD panel.

3. Replace the lens cap.

4. Unload the cassette.

5. Disconnect the power source.

Wait until the tape counter stops completely before you start recording.

When you do not remove the cassette, you can record the next scene without

producing any noise or blank sections between the recordings even if you turn

the camcorder off.

Bright light may make it difficult to use the LCD screen. In such case, use the

viewfinder instead.

When recording near loud sounds (such as fireworks, drums or concerts),

sound may become distorted or may be recorded not in the actual sound level.

This is not a malfunction. The audio recording level can also be adjusted

manually (

78).

The camcorder enters stop mode after 4 minutes 30 seconds when left in

record pause mode to protect tape and video heads.

In stop mode, press the start/stop button to start recording and press the

(self-timer) button to go into record pause mode.

When powered by a battery pack, the camcorder shuts off after 5 minutes

when the camcorder is left without any operation to save power ( 75).

Approximately 30 seconds before the camcorder shuts off, “ AUTO

POWER OFF” appears in the center of the screen. If the camcorder shuts

off, turn the POWER switch to OFF and back on again.

About the LCD and viewfinder screen: The screens are produced with

extremely high-precision manufacturing techniques, with more than

99.99% of the pixels operating to specification. Less than 0.01% of the

pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as black or green dots. This has

no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.

When you are using a SD Memory Card, make sure that the protect switch is

set to allow recording.

Do not turn off the camcorder, change the position of the TAPE/CARD switch,

disconnect the power source, open the memory card cover or remove the

memory card while the card access indicator is flashing. Doing so could result

in data damage.

Do not load/unload a cassette during recording.

About the focusing frame:

The camcorder automatically selects the appropriate focusing frames out of the

9 focusing frames, allowing to focus on subjects out of the center (

95).

If the subject is not suitable for autofocus, turns yellow. Keep the PHOTO

button pressed halfway and adjust the focus manually with the focus ring.

Depending on the number of images on the memory card (Windows: more than

1800 images; Macintosh: more than 1000 images), you may not be able to

download images to a computer. In such case, use a PC card reader.

Connection to a PictBridge compliant printer will not work when the memory

card contains more than 1800 images. For best performance, we recommend

to keep the number of images on the memory card less than 100.

When recording a still image (step 2), the image may appear out of focus for a

moment while the camcorder is focusing.

When the subject is too bright, “OVEREXP.” starts flashing. In such case, use

the optional FS-34U ND filter.

Sound for movies recorded on the memory card will be monaural.

When you use a SD Memory Card, we recommend using a Canon SD Memory

Card, or a SD Memory Card with a transfer rate of more than 2 MB/sec., right

after you have formatted it with this camcorder. With memory cards not

formatted with this camcorder, or when recording/erasing has been repeatedly

performed, the writing speed may be lower and recording may stop.

Recording time of movies on the memory card differs depending on the image

size and subject.

Users of Windows XP: When you plan to connect the camcorder to a computer

using a USB cable, keep the length of one movie shorter than approx. 12 min.

Tips for Better Recording

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.

instruction manual of the microphone.

1. Attach the microphone to the accessory shoe.

2. When using a commercially available microphone, connect it to the

MIC terminal.

When recording in silent places, the built-in microphone may pick up the motor

noise of the camcorder. In such case, we recommend using an external

microphone.

When using a commercially available microphone:

- Use a microphone with built-in power supply (condenser microphone). Almost

all stereo microphones with a plug diameter of 0.14 in. (3.5 mm) can be

connected. The audio level may differ from that of the built-in microphone.

- Long microphones may appear on the screen.

connection and use, refer to the instruction manual of the VFL-1.

Do not fire the flash close to people’s eyes.

Do not fire the flash at persons while they are driving.

Do not fire the flash with the flash bulb covered with your hand.

The practical range of the flash is approx. 1 to 2 m (3.3 to 6.6 ft.); 1 to 4.5 m (3.3

to 14.8 ft.) with the VFL-1. The range depends upon the recording condition.

The range of the flash decreases in continuous shooting mode.

For the red-eye reduction mode to be effective, the subject needs to look at the

assist lamp (OPTURA60) or flash (OPTURA50). The degree of reduction

depends upon the distance and on each individual.

Handling Precautions

Camcorder

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 near strong electric or magnetic fields such as above TVs,

near plasma TVs or mobile phones.

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 (

140).

Battery Pack

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 140 °F (60 °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 86 °F (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.

144

Although the battery pack’s operating temperature range is from 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C

to 40 °C), the optimal range is from 50 °F to 86 °F (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.

About the battery terminal cover

The battery terminal cover has a [

]-shaped hole. This is useful when you wish to

differentiate between charged and uncharged battery packs. For example, with charged

battery packs, attach the terminal cover so that the [

label.

]-shaped hole shows the blue

Cassette

Rewind tapes after use. If the tape becomes slack and damaged, it may cause picture

and sound distortion.

Return cassettes in the case and store them upright.

Do not leave the cassette in the camcorder after use.

Do not use spliced tapes or nonstandard cassettes as they may damage the

camcorder.

Do not use tapes that have been jammed as video heads may become dirty.

Do not insert anything into the small holes of the cassette, or cover them with

cellophane tape.

Handle cassettes with care. Do not drop or subject them to severe impact as this may

damage the cassettes.

Rewind tapes from time to time if they are stored for a long time.

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 SAVE

or ERASE OFF.

If you load a protected cassette in CAMERA

145

Memory Card

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.

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.

Keep the battery out of reach of children. If it is swallowed, seek medical assistance

immediately. The battery case may break and the battery fluids may damage stomach

and intestines.

Do not disassemble, heat or immerse the battery in water to avoid the risk of explosion.

Built-in Rechargeable Lithium Battery

The camcorder has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery to retain date/time and other

settings. The built-in lithium battery is recharged while you use the camcorder, however, it

discharges when the usage time is short, and will become totally discharged when you do

not use the camcorder for about 3 months. In such case, recharge the built-in lithium

battery: Connect the power adapter to the camcorder and leave it connected for 24 hours

with the POWER switch set to OFF.

146

Recycling the Built-in Rechargeable Lithium Battery

If you should dispose of your camcorder, first remove the built-in rechargeable lithium

battery for recycling according to the recycling system of your country.

1. Remove the cover using tweezers

or a flat tip driver.

2. Remove the battery using a

pointed tool.

Dent

Align the pointed tool with the dent on the

battery, and move the battery to the right

and left while you pull the battery.

Do not remove the cover for any other purpose than removing the battery for

recycling when disposing the camcorder.

When you have removed the battery, keep it out of reach of children. If it is

swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately. The battery case may break

and the battery fluids may damage the stomach and intestines.

When removing the built-in lithium battery, disconnect power to the camcorder.

147

Cleaning the 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.

Tapes already recorded with dirty video heads may not be played back correctly

even when you clean the video heads.

148

Maintenance/Others
