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.

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.

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
