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.
If you or a third party make a mistake when handling this digital camera device or memory card, etc., the recorded contents may be lost. Hitachi cannot be responsible for compensation for damage due to loss of recorded contents.
Note
Partial memory of the built-in memory is used for the camera’s Firmware code• and software.

Note
The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology, so over 99.99% of
the pixels are operational for effective use. However, some tiny black and/or bright dots (white,
red, blue or green) may appear on the LCD screen. These dots are a normal result of the
manufacturing process, and do not affect the recording.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
The flash is not working.1.
The battery power is low.
The camera is in DC power mode.
In flash auto mode, camera flash fires ONLY when necessary (in dark setting as example).
The files on the memory card do not display smoothly when the LCD shows the “!” marking.2.
The “!” means the SD card is low speed or is having wrong content inside. The way to solve this
condition is to format SD card by the camera instead of a PC (Please refer to the detailed Format
instruction in Section 5).
Or please change the SD/SDHC/SDXC card to a high speed one.
Why do some of my indoor photos look blurry and dark?3.
The camera extends photo exposure time under low light/ indoor condition. Keep the camera (and
the target subject) steady for several seconds when taking photos. The shutter will sound when
photos are being taken.
How do I charge battery?4.
You must use the supplied AC charger or the USB cable. The camera must be turned OFF; blinking
light confirms charging, and the light becomes constant after the charging is completed.
In AC charging Mode, the light will turn itself off automatically after 3~5 minutes . The full charge
time is about 4 to 5 hours. (Actual charging time may vary. It depends on the battery conditions.)
The full charge battery usage for continuous Full HD (1080p 30) video recording is about 1.5~2
hours.

BATTERY
SAFETY
GUIDELINES
Used correctly, domestic batteries are a safe and dependable source of portable power. Problems can occur if they are misused or abused — resulting in leakage or, in extreme cases, fire or explosion.
Here are some simple guidelines to safe battery use designed to eliminate any such problems.
ALWAYS
Take care to fit your batteries correctly,
observing the plus and minus marks on the
battery and appliance. Incorrect fitting can cause leakage or, in extreme cases, fire or
even an explosion.
Replace the whole set of batteries at one
time, taking care not to mix old and new
batteries or batteries of different types, since
this can result in leakage or, in extreme
ALWAYS
cases, fire or even an explosion.
ALWAYS
Store unused batteries in their packaging
and away from metal objects which may cause a short-circuit resulting in leakage or, in extreme cases, fire or even an explosion.
NEVER
Never attempt to recharge ordinary
batteries, either in a charger or by applying
heat to them. They may leak, cause fire or
even explode. There are special
rechargeable batteries which are clearly
marked as such.
ALWAYS
ALWAYS
Remove dead batteries from equipment and
all batteries from equipment you know you
are not going to use for a long time.
Otherwise the batteries may leak and cause
damage.
ALWAYS
Supervise children if they are replacing batteries themselves in order to ensure
these guidelines are followed.
ALWAYS
NEVER
Never dispose of batteries in fire as this can
cause them to explode. Please recycle
dead batteries; do not put with the
normal household waste.
ALWAYS
Remember that small button cell batteries
such as used in some hearing aids, toys,
games and other appliances, are easily
swallowed by young children and this can be
dangerous.
ALWAYS
Keep loose button cells away from young
children.
Make sure battery compartments are
secure.
40
Seek medical advice if you believe a cell has
been swallowed.
