INTRODUCTION
Your new digital video camera is designed as a small handheld “entry-level” digital
camcorder. Using the digital video camera record video and audio directly to memory
(either internal memory, or a memory card) without using any tapes unlike a traditional
camcorder.
The digital video camera also delivers high quality digital still images using a 4.0
megapixel CCD sensor. An integral automatic flash sensor detects the shooting (lighting)
conditions and determines whether the flash should be used. This feature helps ensure
that your images turn out right.
Another feature of the digital video camera is the ability to play MP3 files. The digital video
camera has a small built-in speaker as well as a headphone jack for private listening. You
may transfer MP3 files to your digital video camera from your PC using the USB cable, or
you may wish to use a memory card and play your MP3s from the memory card.
Finally, your digital video camera can also act as a voice recorder. An integral microphone
enables you to record voice and other sounds to memory and play back those recordings
at any time.
Video clips or images that you have captured can be downloaded to your PC using the
USB cable. You can enhance and retouch your video clips or images on your PC using
the provided editing software. You may then share your creative media files with your
friends via e-mail, in a report, or on a website.
The 2.0" color image LCD monitor acts as a viewfinder for both still-image and video
recording. After capturing your favorite moments you may review them in detail on the
-8-
English
display.
8 MB of internal (built-in) memory lets you capture and store images without the
immediate need for an additional memory card. However, you may wish to expand the
memory capacity (up to 512 MB capacity) by using a Secure Digital (SD) external memory
card.

GETTING STARTED
Installing the Battery
We highly recommend using the specified rechargeable lithium-ion battery to realize the
fully capability of your digital video camera. Charge the battery before using the digital

English
1. Plug the AC power adapter into the “DC IN 5V” terminal of the digital video camera.
2. Insert the other end of the AC power adapter into a wall outlet.
The battery charge LED lights red when charging is started and goes off when
charging is completed.
It is recommended that the battery be fully discharged before being recharged.
Charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and the status of
battery.
NOTE
This digital video camera must be used with the specified AC power adapter. Damage
caused by the use of an incorrect adapter is not covered under the warranty.
Always make sure that the digital video camera is off before removing the battery.
The battery may feel warm after it has been charged or immediately after being used.
This is normal and not a malfunction.
When using the digital video camera in cold areas, keep the digital video camera and
its battery warm by holding it inside your jacket or other warm protective environment.
If you open the battery cover without removing the battery, the power will not be
terminated.
If you remove the battery, you must insert the (charged) battery within two hours in
order to make sure that the date and time will not be reset.
Using the AC Power Adapter
Using an AC power adapter prevents the digital video camera from automatically
powering off while transferring files to your computer.

strap. Follow the illustration shown below.
Inserting and Removing an SD Memory Card (Optional Accessory)
The digital video camera comes with 8 MB of internal memory, allowing you to store
images, videos, MP3 and audio files. You may expand the memory capacity and enjoy
the convenience of added data portability by using an optional SD (Secure Digital)
memory card. This allows you to store additional files and share them easily with other
electronic devices you may already own.

Formatting Internal Memory or an SD Memory Card
Formatting erases all images, videos, sound, MP3 files and folders that are stored on the
SD memory card or internal memory. Formatting is not possible if an SD memory card is
locked.
Important Note: The digital video camera assigns preference to SD card memory.
Whenever an SD memory card is inserted the digital video camera will automatically
begin to use the SD card instead of internal memory. An SD memory card is not only
assigned “first priority” but also exclusivity. Access to internal memory is not available
when an SD card is used. If it appears that you cannot find your images and songs, try
removing the SD card to again be able to “see” the internal memory.
Only when the SD memory card is removed
will internal memory be accessible.

NOTE
You should format an SD memory card before using it for the first time.
Formatting will also erase protected images as all data is erased. Before formatting,
-25-
English
make sure that all data is unnecessary.
Formatting is an irreversible action and data cannot be recovered at a later time.
An SD memory card having any problem cannot be properly formatted.
Setting Image Resolution and Quality
Resolution and quality settings determine the file size and compression ratio for your
images and videos. These settings affect the number of images and videos that can be
stored in memory, or on a memory card.
High resolution and quality settings are recommended for printed output and situations
requiring the finest detail. Lower resolution/quality images and videos take up less
memory space and may be quite suitable for sharing via e-mail, in a report, or on a web
page.

The human eye adapts to changes in light so that white objects still appear white even
when the light changes. With a digital video camera, however, the color of the subject is
influenced by the color of the light surrounding it. This color adjustment is called “white
