to the

Canon HG-10

High Deﬁnition Hard Disk Camcorder

Please remember to TRANSFER YOUR FOOTAGE OFF THE CAMERA before

returning it to the media lab. (See Transferring Footage Instructions)

The Canon HG-10 is a tapeless camcorder. All footage is recorded onto a hard drive that is built into

the camera. This has many advantages, two of which are no more money spent on tapes and a much

easier and faster capturing process for editing. However, you need to be extra careful with the

camera because there are no tapes - any carelessness or harm to the camera will not only damage

the camera (and cost you money) but also destroy all your footage. You will also need to be very

diligent with keeping back up copies of your footage ﬁles on your

external hard drives and/or DVDs.

Files are easier to be misplaced and corrupted than tapes are, so

please be smart about your recording and be organized with your ﬁles!

(Please see the Transferring Footage Instructions for more information.)

TOUR OF THE CAMERA

USB port (A) for plugging the camcorder into

the computer. (See Transferring Footage instruc-

tions.) Also, there is a tiny door that can open to

accept a mini-SD card (3 & 4) – this is only

used for taking still images with camera.

2. Open the LCD panel.

3. Open the memory card slot cover.

4. Insert the memory card with the label facing

ON THE TOP OF THE CAMERA

Quick Start – when this button is pressed the camcorder

will go to sleep, it will still be ON but in a stand-by mode

that uses less power. When pressed again it will come

back ON and be ready for shooting.

DISP. – This button will remove all the

onscreen icons from the LCD screen to provide an

unhindered view of the screen. Pressing it again will

return all the onscreen icons.

The blue printer button is for printing still images

directly from the camera. IGNORE THIS BUTTON.

P/AUTO – When it is in “AUTO” position the entire

camera will be in automatic mode, you will not be able to

use any manual settings. It is recommend to leave it in the

“P” position so that you’ll have manual control over the

camcorder’s features.

Zoom Toggle - This is a variable speed zoom, so the

harder you press on the button the faster the camera will

zoom. Likewise the softer you press, the slower the camera

will zoom. (This feature can be turned off in the MENU.)

PHOTO – This button will not work unless you have a

mini-SD card in the camera. It is used only to take still

images with the camera.

Underneath the viewﬁnder there is a small slider that will

adjust the focus of the viewﬁnder. (This does not effect the

focus of the camera’s lens, only the viewﬁnder.)

1. HDD Operations

From this submenu you can see how much

space is being used on the hard disk and how

much is available. You can initialize (Erase)

the camera’s drive. If you do this it will erase all

footage on the camera – So BE CAREFUL!

(You don’t need to initialize the drive, the

Media Lab will take care of that for you.)

• ALWAYS LEAVE THE DROP SENSOR

ON! (It is the camera’s safety feature and

needs to be on all the time.)

2. Display Setup (Ignore this menu)

3. SYSTEM SETUP

The only features that you need to be concerned

with in this sub-menu is SPEAKER VOLUME

and AV/PHONES.

SPEAKER VOL.

Press SET to change the volume. A large vol-

ume bar will appear. Press the right and left ar-

rows to raise or lower the camera’s volume. This

volume is the playback and/or headphone

AV/PHONES

This allows you to switch between AV output

(TV) and Phones output (Headphones). Make

sure this is set to PHONES so you can monitor

your recording. If you hear a buzzing sound

when you plug in headphones, that means

the port is set to AV and you need to go into

the menu and change it to PHONES.

4. Date/Time Setup (Ignore this menu)
