Thank you for purchasing this Canon product.
The Remote Controller RC-V100 was especially developed to operate compatible Canon
HD Camcorders from a distance. By simply connecting the remote controller to the
REMOTE terminal on the camcorder with the supplied connection cable, you can easily
operate many of the camcorder’s functions. The remote controller will draw its power
supply from the camcorder.
Basic operation of the camcorder
(A 8)
Using the remote controller, you can turn
the camcorder on/off, navigate the
camcorder’s main menu and easily
change custom picture and other
settings.
Control recording functions (A 8)
Using the remote controller, you can start
and stop recording, display color bars,
review recordings and control many other
recording functions.
Adjust the aperture, focus and zoom
(A 12, 13)
The remote controller features
independent IRIS, FOCUS and ZOOM
dials for easy direct operation. The IRIS
dial is larger and placed closer to the
operator to allow for easier access.
Controls for ISO speed/gain, shutter
speed and ND filter (A 9)
The ND filter controls are only available
for camcorders equipped with motoroperated ND filters.
Controls for white balance and master
black (A 11)
You can easily adjust settings that affect
the overall color balance of the picture,
like the white balance and master black.
Both have separate R Gain and B Gain
adjustment dials.
Assignable buttons (A 14)
The remote controller has 4 assignable
buttons that replicate assignable buttons
1 to 4 on the camcorder. You can assign
frequently used functions to these
buttons and easily operate them from the
remote controller.
Controls for adjusting the picture
quality (A 10, 13)
You can easily adjust settings that affect
the gradation and sharpness of the
picture (master pedestal, knee settings,
black gamma level and sharpness level)
using convenient dedicated adjustment
dials.
Key lock function (A 13)
Using the ACTIVE button on the remote
controller, you can lock all or part of the
buttons and dials on the remote
controller. This can be useful for
preventing unwanted changes due to
inadvertently operating one of the
controls.
Customization (A 16)
You can personalize various aspects of
the remote controller to your preferences.
For example, you can change the
direction and sensitivity of the dials or the
brightness of buttons and indicators.

Handling Precautions
COPY
• Do not disassemble the remote controller. If the remote controller does not function
properly, consult qualified service personnel.
• Do not subject the remote controller to shocks or vibration as this may cause damage.
• Do not use or store the remote controller in dusty or sandy places. The remote controller
is not waterproof - avoid also water, mud or salt. If any of the above should get into the
remote controller it may damage it. Consult a Canon Service Center as soon as
possible.
• Do not leave the remote controller in places subject to high temperatures (like the inside
of a car parked under direct sunlight), or high humidity.
• Do not connect the remote controller to camcorders or other devices that are not
compatible with the remote controller.

do not touch the metallic parts of the remote controller with bare hands. The remote
controller has a metallic exterior surface that is thermally conductive. It can easily get hot
or cold depending on surrounding temperatures. In extreme cases, touching the remote
controller with bare hands can cause contact burns or the skin to get stuck to the
surface. Use the remote controller within the operating temperature range (0 - 40 °C
(32 - 104 °F)).
