In these safety instructions the word “product”
refers to the Canon Digital Video Camcorder
ELURA70/ELURA65/ELURA60 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.
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.

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.
20. Safety Check Upon completion of any
service or repairs to this product, ask the
service technician to perform safety checks
to determine that the product is in safe
operating order.

* Approximate times for recording with repeated operations such as start/stop, zooming,
power on/off. Actual time may be shorter.
We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 50 ˚F and
86 ˚F (10 ˚C and 30 ˚C). Outside the temperature range of 32 ˚F to 104 ˚F (0 ˚C
to 40 ˚C), 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.
We recommend that you prepare battery packs 2 to 3 times longer than you
think you might need.
To conserve battery charge, turn off the camcorder instead of leaving it in
record pause mode.

The WA-34 Wide Attachment gives you a wide perspective for indoor shots or
panoramic views (0.7 ). The wide attachment is for use at maximum wide-angle.×
Screw the wide attachment fully into
the lens filter thread.
Do not look directly at the sun or other strong light sources through the wide
attachment. It could damage your eyesight.
If you zoom to telephoto, the picture will not be in focus.
If dust accumulates on the wide attachment or on the camcorder lens, clean
both lenses gently with a blower brush.
Do not touch the lens to avoid smudges and fingerprints.
Do not store the wide attachment in a humid place as it may mold.
The wide attachment may obstruct the remote sensor (the range of the
wireless controller narrows), or may cause a shadow to appear on the picture
when recording with flash, video light or the assist lamp (White LED).
Filters cannot be used with the wide attachment.
