ª MPEG2/MPEG4 Moving Picture

MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts Group. It is the name of the standard for the compression and extension of a digital moving picture and sound enacted by ITU-TS (International Telecommunications Union-Telecommunication Standardization Sector) and ISO (International Standardization Organization). The picture data is transferred at a rate of about 25 frames per 1 second under MPEG2 format. Therefore, you can enjoy beautiful and smooth moving picture. The picture data of MPEG4 is inferior to those of MPEG 2 in smoothness because the number of the frames transferred in MPEG4 is less than that in MPEG2. However, it is suitable for use in PC because the transfer rate is higher.

99.99% effective pixels with a mere

0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.

ª Optimal Use of the Battery

Battery Characteristics

Lithium ion battery is small-sized battery with large capacity. However, when it is cooled down due to the low temperature (10 oC or less), the operating time becomes short by its characteristics and it may not operate properly. In this case, warm the battery moderately (e.g. in a pocket of your clothes) and then insert it just before you use the Camera. (When using a handwarmer, be careful not to directly make the battery touched to it.)

Battery may be warmed

The Battery may be warmed after charge or use. This is not a malfunction.

Be Sure to Detach the Battery after Use

Be sure to detach the Battery from the SD Video Camera. (If it is left attached to the SD Video Camera, a minute amount of current is consumed even when the SD Video Camera power is off.) If the Battery is left attached to the SD Video Camera for a long time, over discharge takes place. The Battery may become unusable after it is charged.

Have spare batteries on hand when you use this unit outdoors.

In a cold place, the recordable time will be shorter. When you travel, be sure to bring the supplied AC adaptor for charging in the place you are visiting.

Self-discharge of the Battery

Leaving the Battery for a long time may cause self-discharge of the Battery. Charge it before use.

Store the Battery

Store the battery in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable temperature. If it is stored in a place with extremely high or low temperature, the life of the battery may be shorten.

Battery is not used for a long time

If the Battery is not used for a long time, it may not be charged sufficiently. Or the operating time may be shorten.

Disposing of an Unusable Battery ≥The Battery has a limited life.

If the operating time is drastically shorten even after charging, the life is expired. Replace it with a new battery.

≥Do not throw the Battery into fire because

it may cause an explosion.

Always Keep the Terminals of the Battery Clean

≥Prevent the terminals from getting clogged

with dirt, dust, or other substances.

≥If you drop the Battery accidentally, check

to see if the Battery body and terminals are damaged.

≥Attaching a deformed Battery to the SD

Video Camera may damage the SD Video Camera.
