SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like
any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be
assured.
*******************************************
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and inter-connections
between the pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug before making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your
equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DO route the mains lead so that it is not likely to be walked on, crushed, chafed, or subjected to excessive
wear and tear or heat.
*******************************************
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation openings of the equipment with items such as newspapers, tablecloths,
curtains, etc. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to dripping or splashing, or objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, to be placed on the equipment.
DON’T place hot objects or naked flame sources such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to
equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to fires.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws - to ensure
complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings
provided according to the instructions.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from
the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your
hearing.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated
that it is designed for unattended operation or has a stand-by mode. Switch off using the
switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this. Special
arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working
normally, or if it is damaged in any way - switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult
your dealer.
ABOVE ALL
--- NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the
case - this could result in a fatal electrical shock;
--- NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind
--- it is better to be safe than sorry!

Getting to Know Your Camera
Overview
The camera with 5 Mega Pixel sensor can take H.264 videos. By way of using H.264 technology, more videos can be taken within certain amount of memory. High quality images with up to 16 mega-pixels can also be delivered smoothly. With a colour LCD monitor, users can compose images and examine them easily.
The camera features 3” (16:9) LCD touch panel which is an ideal platform for you to operate your camera. The menu options are accessible with your finger. With the touch panel, you can select the options directly and quickly.
The camera also features video recording at HD resolution of 1920x1080. You can also connect it to an HDTV via an HDMI cable, and easily playback the recorded high-definition videos on the wide screen HDTV.
Moreover, the camera has an advanced uploading feature. With the exclusive built-in Internet Direct application, you can upload the videos captured by the camera to the web site more effortlessly .
ISO sensitivity and colour balance can either be adjusted automatically or changed manually. A 120x digital zoom helps you to control over the videos and photos you take.
The varied effect options, such as Time Lapse and Slow Motion, make recording more fun.
The built-in memory allows you to take photos and to record videos without a memory card. The memory card slot allows users to increase the storage capacity.
Hitachi cannot compensate for any damages caused when recording is not made normally or recorded contents cannot be played back because of a defect in the digital camera device or memory card. Hitachi cannot be responsible for your recorded video and audio.
