Enjoying High-Definition Video with

your Camcorder

Preserve your most treasured memories, be it unforgettable scenery or

cherished moments spent with family and friends, with high-definition video

recordings of a quality second only to actually being there.

What is High-Definition Video?

High-definition (HD) video allows you to record video of

unparalleled high quality on the built-in hard disk using

the AVCHD compression. HD video is composed of

1,080 horizontal lines - that is more than twice the

number of horizontal lines and approximately 4 times

the number of pixels in standard-definition TV

broadcasts - resulting in eye-catching colors and richly

detailed video recordings.

“Full HD 1080” refers to Canon camcorders compliant with high-

definition video composed of 1,080 vertical pixels (scanning lines).

What is Cinema Mode?

Give your recordings a cinematic look by using the [ CINE MODE] recording

program ( 48). Combine this recording program with the 25 fps progressive frame

rate [ PF25] ( 43) to get the enhanced effect of the 25p Cinema Mode ( 49).

How does the built-in hard disk enrich your shooting

experience?

Because this camcorder automatically records video in unused space on the hard

disk, you need not worry about accidentally recording over important videos. Not only

that, you can shoot up to 9 1/2 hours of video in XP mode ( 31). In addition, you

can use the software on the Corel Application Disc CD-ROM to transfer your videos

to a computer to back up, play and edit them. For a detailed explanation, refer to the

Corel Application Disc Installation Guide and User Manual.

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 (97).

Back up your recordings periodically

Make sure to transfer your movies to an

external device such as a computer or

digital video recorder ( 37) and back

them up on a regular basis.

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 ( 44) 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 HDD access indicator is on or

flashing

To prevent hard disk damage, do not

disconnect the power source or turn off the

camcorder while the HDD access indicator

is on or flashing.

D122_PAL_E.book Page 4 Thursday, July 19, 2007 6:54 PM

Important Notes About the Hard Disk Drive

Use the camcorder within its operating

temperature range

If the camcorder's temperature becomes

too hot or too cold, recording/playback

may stop in order to prevent hard disk

damage.

Do not use the camcorder at high

altitudes

Turning on or using the camcorder in

places with low atmospheric pressure,

such as at altitudes higher than 3,000 m,

may result in hard disk damage.

Initialize the hard disk when movies

cannot be recorded/played back

normally

As movies are recorded and deleted over

time, hard disk fragmentation may occur,

which may reduce performance. Initialize

the hard disk should this happen.

Protect personal information on the

hard disk

When the hard disk is initialized or movies

are deleted, stored data is not physically

erased. Remember this when disposing of

the camcorder or giving it to another

person.
