Caution :

0The built-in battery is not charged at the time of purchase.

0At the time of purchase or in case of the battery is not used for a long period of time, the charging time will be longer than usual. The camera does not turn on if the remaining battery power is low. In this case, charge the battery for more than 40 minutes before turning on the power.

0Charging time: Approx. 6 h 10 m (when charging at 25°C (77°F))

0The battery cannot be charged outside the room temperature range of 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). The CHARGE lamp does not light up when the battery is not being charged. If the temperature increases or decreases during charging, the CHARGE lamp will blink slowly and charging will stop. In this case, remove the AC adapter, press the Reset button and wait until the room temperature is within the above stated range before charging again.

0You can record or play back videos during charging. (However, the charging time will be longer than usual. In addition, the remaining battery power may decrease according to conditions.) If the internal temperature rises when using the unit, stop the charging temporarily. (The CHARGE lamp goes off.)

0If malfunctions (such as overvoltage) occur, charging will stop. In these cases, CHARGE lamp blinks quickly as a notification.

0During charging, the Picon on the screen changes to Oto indicate that charging is in progress. (when the provided AC adapter is used)

0When the recording time becomes extremely short even when the battery is fully charged, the battery needs to be replaced. For details on replacing the built-in battery (subject to a fee), consult the nearest Canon service center.

Caution :

0There are certain specifications for a USB rechargeable device. To charge, use a device with the output voltage of 5 V/1 A or more.

0Depending on the specification of your charging device and the thickness and length of an USB cable used to connect to this unit, the charging time may be longer than usual, or it may not even start.

0We shall not be held liable for malfunctions that are due to using nonstandard device or a device with poor quality.

0There is no guarantee that there will be no damages when the unit is used within the above-mentioned limits.

Scratches and dent caused by the impact if the unit is dropped, or other changes in appearance are not included in the warranty.

0Malfunction due to mishandling will void the warranty.

0Before use in water, be sure to read and understand the “Before Using Underwater or under Low Temperature” (A p. 6) .

0Close the terminal cover firmly until it clicks and confirm that the red sign completely goes off.

0Make sure that there is no damage to and no foreign material adhered to the packing inside the cover.

0Use within a water depth of 5 m (16.4 ft) and a duration of 1 hour.

0The waterproof performance cannot be guaranteed if the camcorder is subject to impact such as dropping.

0Do not jump or dive into water holding the camcorder.

0Do not use the camcorder in strong water flows such as in rapids or under waterfalls. The strong water pressure may impair the waterproof performance.

0Do not immerse into hot spring, or hot water above 40°C (104°F).

Before Using Underwater or under Low Temperature

Cautions on Using Underwater

Please take note of the followings when using this unit near water or underwater.

0 Ensure that the cover is closed tightly.

“Opening the Terminal Cover (SD Card Cover)” (A p. 4)

0Ensure that the terminal cover and the gray waterproof seal are not damaged and that there are no foreign materials (such as hair, lint, sand or dust) adhered on the cover.

0Stop using the unit underwater if there are damages to the cover, etc. and consult your Canon dealer or the nearest service center.

0Use within a water depth of 5 m (16.4 ft) and a duration of 1 hour.

Within Water

Depth of 5 m

Within 1

hour

.

0Do not open/close the cover or insert/remove an SD card or any cables while using underwater or on the beach, or if your hands contain water droplets or sands. Doing so may cause water to enter into the camera or malfunction.

0Do not subject the camera to high pressure or vibration resulted from swift current, waterfall or diving into water.

0The waterproof performance is not guaranteed if the camera is dropped or subjected to other impact shock. If the camera has been subjected to impact shock, consult your nearest service center.

0While shooting underwater, noise generated inside of the camera (zooming sounds, etc) may be picked up. This is not a malfunction.

0Do not immerse into hot spring, or hot water above 40°C (104°F). Doing so deteriorates waterproof performance.

0Keep away from hands with sun oil or sun screen. Doing so may cause discoloration or deterioration of material.

0The accessories are not waterproof.

0Do not use the lens filter or conversion lens underwater or at locations where there is water.

Getting Started

Maintenance after Use

After using underwater or in dusty places, rinse the camera with water immediately and dry it completely.

1Ensure that the terminal cover is closed.

2Rinse with clean water.

Soak the camera in a container filled with enough water to immerse the camera completely, and rinse it gently.

.

0After using the camera under the sea or on the beach, immerse the camera in fresh water for about 10 minutes to remove salt particles, replace the water and rinse the camera.

0Open and close the LCD screen, and operate the buttons or zoom operations to get rid of sands or dusts in the gap.

3Dry the camera.

Wipe the camera completely with a soft dry cloth and allow it to dry in a well-ventilated and shady location.

0Place the camera with the lens facing downward while the LCD monitor is closed, and leave it for approximately 10 minutes. (By doing so, microphone and LCD part are dried out easily.) Place the camera in a up right position on a dry cloth afterward Close the terminal cover after the camera is dried out completely.

0Wipe off any foreign materials or water droplets inside the cover.

* If you leave the camera immersed in salt water or allow water droplets from the salt water to remain on the camera, this may cause corrosion, discoloration or deterioration of waterproof performance.

*If you wipe or dry the camera with sand particles adhered, this may cause scratches on the camera.

*Do not wash with chemicals, soap, neutral detergents, or alcohol.

*Do not dry the camera with a hair dryer or other heat sources. This could impair its waterproof performance.

Cautions on Using under Low Temperature

0The performance of the battery will drop temporarily when the temperature is -10°C to 0°C (14°F to 32°F), this will cause the remaining recording time to shorten.

0Charging cannot be performed when the surrounding temperature is below 10°C (50°F).

0Turning on the camera while it is still cold will deteriorate the performance of the LCD monitor. Problems such as the screen becoming dark momentarily or residual image can occur.

0If snow or water droplets adhere to the camera under sub-zero temperature environment, ice can formed between the gaps around the buttons, speaker or microphone. This will cause difficulty in operating the buttons as well as decrease in the volume level.

0Direct contact with exposed metal part under cold temperature can cause the skin to stick on the metal part resulting in injuries such as frostbite. Do not touch with bare hands.

Other Precautions

0Do not leave the camera under low temperature in cold climates or under high temperature above 40 °C (such as under direct sunlight, inside a vehicle in the hot sun, or near a heater). This will cause deterioration of the waterproof performance.

0Malfunction due to mishandling will void the warranty.

0We are not responsible for any loss of data due to water entering into inside of the camera. Please be forewarned.

0It is recommended to replace the waterproof packing once a year to maintain the waterproof performance. Consult your nearest service center. (Subject to a fee)
