Canon DC420 - Manual (Page 82)

82 • Additional Information
• Do not attach any labels or stickers on
the disc surfaces. The disc may not
rotate in a stable manner and this may
cause malfunctions.
• To protect the disc, return it to its case
for storage.
• When writing on the label side of the
disc, avoid hard tip pens. Use
waterproof soft-tipped felt pens
instead.
• Moving a disc rapidly between hot
and cold temperatures may cause
condensation to form on its surfaces.
If condensation forms on the disc, put
it aside until the water droplets have
evaporated completely.
• Never expose the disc to direct
sunlight and do not store it in places
subject to high temperatures or high
humidity.
• Always finalize a disc before inserting
it into an external DVD device. Failing
to do so can result in the loss of the
recorded data.
Memory Card
• We recommend backing up the still
images recorded on the memory card
onto your computer. Data may be
corrupted or lost due to memory card
defects or exposure to static
electricity. Canon shall not be liable for
lost or corrupted data.
• Do not touch or expose the terminals
to dust or dirt.
• 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, bend, drop, or
subject memory cards to shocks and
do not expose them to water.
• Check the direction before inserting
the memory card. Forcing a memory
card into the slot if it is not correctly
oriented may damage the memory
card or the camcorder.
• Do not attach any labels or stickers on
the memory card.
• SD/SDHC memory cards have a
physical switch to prevent writing on
the card so as to avoid the accidental
erasure of the card's content. To
write-protect the memory card set the
switch to the LOCK position.
Disposal
When you erase still images or initialize
the memory card, only the file allocation
table is altered and stored data is not
physically erased. Take the necessary
precautions when you dispose of the
memory card, for example by physically
damaging it to prevent the leakage of
private data.
If giving the memory card to another
person, initialize it using the
[COMPL.INIT.] option (
57). Fill it up
with unimportant still images, and then
initialize it again using the same option.
This makes recovering the original still
images very difficult.
