Introduction
E
In these safety instructions the word “product”
refers to the Canon Digital Video Camcorder
OPTURA S1 A and all its accessories.
1. Read Instructions — All the safety and
operating instructions should be read
before the product is operated.
2. Retain Instructions — The safety and
operating instructions should be retained
for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings — All warnings on the
product and in the operating instructions
should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions — All operating and
maintenance instructions should be
followed.
5. Cleaning — Unplug this product from the
wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use
liquid or aerosol cleaners. The product
should be cleaned only as recommended
in this manual.
6. Accessories — Do not use accessories
not recommended in this manual as they
may be hazardous.
7. Avoid magnetic or electric fields — Do not
use the camera close to TV transmitters,
portable communication devices or other
sources of electric or magnetic radiation.
They may cause picture interference, or
permanently damage the camera.
8. Water and Moisture — Hazard of electric
shock — Do not use this product near
water or in rainy/moist situations.
9. Placing or Moving — Do not place on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or
table. The product may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or adult, and
serious damage to the
product.
A product and cart
combination should be
moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force,
and uneven surfaces may
cause the product and
cart combination to overturn.
10. Power Sources — The CA-570 Compact
Power Adapter should be operated only
from the type of power source indicated
on the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supply to your home,
consult your product dealer or local power
company. Regarding other power sources
such as battery power, refer to instructions
in this manual.
11. Polarization — The CA-570 Compact
Power Adapter is equipped with a
polarized 2-prong plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other).
The 2-prong polarized plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug still fails to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
12. Power Cord Protection — Power cords
should be routed so that they are not likely
to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them. Pay
particular attention to plugs and the point
from which the cords exit the product.
13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an
outside antenna is connected to the
product, be sure the antenna is grounded
so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI / NFPA No. 70—1984,
provides information with respect to
proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the
lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode. See figure 1.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4
14.Lightning — For added protection of this
product during a lightning storm, or when it
is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, disconnect it from the wall
outlet and disconnect the antenna. This
will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.
15.Overloading — Do not overload wall
outlets and extension cords as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16.Objects and Liquid Entry — Never push
objects of any kind into this product
through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts
that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Be careful not to spill liquid of any kind
onto the product.
17.Servicing — Do not attempt to service this
product yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
18.Damage Requiring Service — Disconnect
this product from the wall outlet and all
power sources including the battery, and
refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is
damaged.
b. If any liquid has been spilled onto, or
objects have fallen into, the product.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain
or water.
d. If the product does not operate
normally even if you follow the
operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the
operation instructions. Improper
adjustment of other controls may result
in damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the product to its normal
operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or the
cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the product exhibits a distinct
change in performance. This indicates
a need for service.
19.Replacement Parts — When replacement
parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts
that are specified by Canon or that have
the same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result
in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

service or repairs to this product, ask the
service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the product is in
safe operating order.

Charging, Recording and Playback Times
The following times are approximate and vary according to the charging,
recording or playback conditions.
* Approximate times for recording with repeated operations such as start/stop,
zooming, power on/off.
We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10°C and
30°C (50°F and 86°F). Outside the temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to
104°F), the charge indicator flashes rapidly and charging stops.
A lithium ion battery pack can be charged at any charge state. Unlike
conventional battery packs, you do not need to completely use or discharge it
before charging.
To conserve battery power, turn off the camcorder instead of leaving it in record
pause mode.
We recommend that you prepare battery packs 2 to 3 times longer than you
think you might need.

Do not turn off the camcorder, change the position of the TAPE/CARD switch,
disconnect the power source, open the memory card cover or remove the memory
card while the card access indicator is flashing. Doing so could result in data
damage.
About the focusing frame:
The camcorder automatically selects the appropriate focusing frames out of the
9 focusing frames, allowing to focus on subjects out of the center ( 85).
If the subject is not suitable for autofocus, turns yellow. Keep the PHOTO
button pressed halfway and adjust the focus manually by turning the SET dial
up and down.
When recording a still image (step 5 above), the image may appear out of focus
for a moment while the camcorder is focusing.
When the subject is too bright, “OVEREXP.” starts flashing. In such case, use
the optional FS-H27U ND filter.
Sound for movies recorded on the memory card will be monaural.
We recommend using a miniSD Card with a transfer rate of more than 2 MB/
sec., right after you have formatted it with this camcorder. With memory cards
not formatted with this camcorder, or when recording/erasing has been
repeatedly performed, the writing speed may be lower and recording may stop.
When powered by a battery pack, the camcorder shuts off after 5 minutes when
the camcorder is left without any operation to save power ( 67).
Approximately 30 seconds before the camcorder shuts off, “ AUTO POWER
OFF” appears in the center of the screen. If the camcorder shuts off, turn the
power switch to OFF and back on again.

Tips for Better Recording
Holding the Camcorder
For maximum stability, grip the camcorder in your right hand and keep your
right elbow pressed against your body. If necessary, support the camcorder
with your left hand. Be careful that your fingers do not touch the microphone
or lens.
For More Stability
Lighting
When recording outdoors, we
recommend recording with the sun at
your back.
When using a tripod, do not leave the viewfinder exposed to direct sunlight as it
may melt (due to concentration of the light by the lens).
Do not use tripods with fastening screws longer than
5.5 mm (0.2 in.) as it may damage the camcorder.
The camcorder cannot be mounted on tripods with
fixed (non-retractable) camera positioning pins.
Lean against a wall Put the camcorder on a table

for example, by mounting it on a tripod.
D.ZOOM: Determines the operation of the digital zoom.
When the digital zoom is activated, the camcorder will switch automatically to the
digital zoom when you zoom in beyond the optical zoom range.
With the digital zoom the image is digitally processed, so image resolution will

from 40x to 200x.
IMG STAB: The image stabilizer compensates for camcorder shake even at full
telephoto.
