First,

we'd

like

to

thank

you

for

buying

this

Canon

camcorder.

Its

advanced

give

you

pleasure

for

years

to

E

come.

To

get

the

most

out

of

your

new

camcorder,

you

should

read

this

manual

thoroughly

—

there

are

many

sophisticated

features

which

will

add

to

your

recording

enjoyment.

To

get

started,

you

will

need

to

read

these

sections:

“Basic

Recording”

“Power

Then

you

can

go

on

to

find

There’s

also

a

“Troubleshooting”

section

in

case

you

run

into

any

problems.

And

while

you

are

finding

out

how

your

camcorder

works,

remember:

The

power

the

camcorder.

If

you

leave

the
