This SD Video Camera can record MPEG2/ MPEG4 motion images and still pictures. Additionally, using the viewer software, MediaStage for AV100 (supplied accessory), the MPEG2/MPEG4 motion images data can be edited on the personal computer.

ªCharging the Battery

Be sure to charge the supplied battery before use.

≥Refer to Page 12 for the procedures to attach and charge the battery.

ªClock setting

Prior to use the clock in this SD Video Camera needs to be set. Please turn to page 22 for additional information.

ªAbout Using an SD Memory

Card

This product is capable of recording in the MPEG2 format, producing video quality that is comparable to digital camcorders. To achieve this level of performance, large amounts of data must be written to the SD card in real time.

The read and write speed of the SD card may differ from manufacturer to manufacturer. In MPEG2 motion image recording, SD card with the high-speed transmission rate of 10 MB/s is needed. The use of SD cards other than the above may result in the following error message: [This card cannot record in the MPEG2 mode.]

For additional information on other brand cards that are known to be compatible, please visit this web site:

ªMPEG2/MPEG4 Motion Image

MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts Group. It is the name of the standard for the compression and extension of a digital motion image and sound enacted by ITU-TS (International Telecommunications UnionTelecommunication Standardization Sector) and ISO (International Standardization Organization).

The picture data is transferred at a rate of about

30 frames per 1 second under MPEG2 format. N Therefore, you can enjoy a beautiful and smooth

motion image.

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.

Generally, if you repeatedly write data on a Memory	N
Card, the data writing speed is decreased by the
characteristic of the Memory Card.
To recover the data writing speed on available SD
Memory Card, [Clean Up] function is installed in this
unit.
When repeating write data on an SD Memory Card, it
may be suddenly stopped while recording MPEG2
motion images. In this case, an error message [Record
Stopped. Clean up in no data area?] appears. Be sure
to use the function. (l 73)	O
[Clean Up] is a function to recover the writing speed on
the free space of the SD Memory Card. It may take
