Battery Properties
A lithium-ion battery is small-sized and has a high capacity. Low ambient temperature (below 10º C/50º F) may shorten its life-span and affect its function. Before recording in low temperatures, put the battery into your pocket to warm it, then install it in the camcorder.
Page 27
21
Charge an extra battery before using the camcorder outdoors.
- The cold temperature may shorten the length of time you can use the battery before needing to recharge it.
Check whether the battery terminal is damaged if the battery falls or is dropped.
- If you install a battery with the damaged terminal into the camcorder, you can damage the camcorder.
Throw away the dead battery into a recycling bin.
The battery lifetime is limited.
-Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace the battery with a new one.
- Each battery’s life is affected by storage, operating, and environmental conditions.
A USB connection by itself can not operate the camcorder. You must install the battery.
If you use a USB charger, the charger should provide 500mA at a minimum of 5V and a maximum of 6V.
Maintaining the battery
Make sure to store the battery separately after use.
- A small amount of battery power is consumed when the battery is stored in the camcorder even if the camcorder power is off.
- If the battery is installed and left in the camcorder for a long time, the battery discharges. If this occurs, you may not be able to use the battery, even if you charge it fully.
- Keep the battery out of reach of children.
- To store the battery for a long time, we recommend you keep the battery charged at about half of its full capacity and charge the battery once every 3 months.
Remove the battery and the memory card from the camcorder after use.
- Store the battery in a stable, cool, and dry place. (Recommended temperature : 15Cº~ 25Cº (59ºF ~ 77º), recommended humidity: 40%~ 60%)
- Temperatures that are too high or too low shorten the battery lifetime.
- The battery terminals can become rusty or malfunction if the battery is stored in a smoky or dusty location.
About the battery life
Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased usage time
between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace the battery with a new one. When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local Samsung dealer for a
replacement.

To insert a memory card
1. Pull the battery cover in the direction of the arrow as shown in the fi gure to open.
2. Insert the memory card into the card slot until it softly clicks.
Make sure that the terminal portion
is facing down and the camcorder is placed as shown in the fi gure.
3. Close the battery cover.
To avoid the data loss, turn off the camcorder by pressing the Power ( ) button before inserting
or ejecting the memory card. Be careful not to push the memory card too hard. The memory card may suddenly pop out.
Your camcorder supports only micro SD (micro Secure Digital) and micro SDHC (micro Secure Digital High Capacity) cards. The compatibility with the camcorder may vary depending on the manufacturer and the type of memory card. ¬page 28
To eject a memory card
1. Pull the battery cover in the direction of the arrow as shown in the fi gure to open.
2. Gently push the memory card to eject it.
3. Close the battery cover.
Page 34
getting ready to start recording
SELECTING A SUITABLE MEMORY CARD (NOT SUPPLIED)
Compatible memory cards
Use micro SD (micro Secure Digital) and micro SDHC (micro Secure Digital High Capacity) cards with this camcorder. We recommend you use a micro SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) card. The camcorder supports micro SD cards up to 2GB. We can not guarantee normal operation with micro SD cards bigger than 2GB.
Compatible memory card capacity:
micro SD card : 1GB ~ 2GB micro SDHC card : 4GB ~ 32GB
Use compatible memory card brands. Others are not guaranteed to work. A list of compatible brands is below:
- Panasonic, SanDisk, TOSHIBA
For video recording, use a memory card that supports faster write speeds (above micro SDHC Class 6).
Usable memory card (1GB~32GB)
Micro SDHC ( Micro Secure Digital High Capacity) cards
Micro SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) memory cards
- A micro SDHC card is a higher version
(Ver. 2.00) of the micro SD card and supports capacities above 4GB.
- Use micro SD cards only with micro
SD enabled host devices.
Common cautions for memory cards
Damaged data may not be recovered. We recommend you make a back-up of important data separately on the hard disk of your PC.
Turning the power off or removing a memory card during an operation such as formatting, deleting, recording, and playback may cause data loss.
After you modify the name of a file or folder stored in the memory card using your PC, your camcorder may not recognise the modified file.
The micro memory card does not support any data recovery mode. So care must be taken lest that the memory card should be damaged when making record.

<micro SD>
Terminals Terminals
<micro SDHC>
Page 35

Handling a memory card
We recommend that you power off before
inserting or removing the memory card to avoid data loss. You have to format newly-purchased
memory cards, memory cards with data that your camcorder cannot recognise or with data saved by other devices. Note that formatting erases all data on the memory card and deleted data cannot be recovered. A memory card has a certain life span.
If you cannot record new data, you have to purchase a new memory card. Do not bend, drop, or subject the card to
strong impacts. Do not place foreign substances on the
memory card terminals. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the terminals if required. Do not paste anything other than label
provided with the card on the label pasting section. Be careful to keep the memory card out of
the reach of children, who might swallow it. Make sure to format the memory card
on this camcorder. If the memory card had been formatted by a PC or other device, using it on this camcorder without formatting may fi nd trouble with recording and/or playback. Samsung is not responsible for damage of recorded contents caused by such reasons.
The camcorder supports micro SD and micro SDHC memory cards, giving you a wider choice of cards!
The data storage speed may differ, depending on the manufacturer and production system.
SLC (Single Level Cell) system: faster
write speed enabled. MLC (Multi Level Cell) system: only
lower write speed is supported. For best results, we recommend using a memory card that supports a faster write speed. Using a lower write speed memory card for recording video may cause diffi culties when storing. You may even lose your video data during the recording. In an attempt to preserve every bit of the recorded video, the camcorder forcibly stores the video on the memory card and displays a warning:
“Low speed card. Please record at a lower resolution.”
If you are unavoidably using a low speed memory card, the resolution of the recording may be lower than the value you set. ¬page 44 The higher the resolution and quality, the more memory the camcorder uses.
Using the memory card adaptor
This camcorder uses micro SD/micro SDHC memory cards.
Record mode
To use a micro SD/micro SDHC directly with a computer or a card reader you must attach it to or insert it into an adaptor.
Samsung is not responsible for data loss due to misuse.
We recommend using a memory card case to avoid data loss caused by motion or static electricity. After a period of use, the memory card may get warm. This is normal and is not a malfunction.

LCD screen
Do not push the LCD screen too hard or strike it with anything.
When you use the camcorder in cold conditions, an afterimage may appear on the LCD screen. This is not a malfunction.
If you leave the power on for a long time, the surface around the LCD screen becomes hot.
An LCD screen is manufactured using advanced technology which creates screens with pixel failure rates of less than 0.01%. However, a black or bright spot (red, blue, white) may appear in the centre of the LCD screen and up to two spots may appear outside the centre. These spots, which are sometimes incurred during the manufacturing process, do not affect the recorded images.
Lens
Use an optional air blower to blow out dirt and other small objects. Do not wipe the lens with cloth or your fingers.
When the lens gets frosty, turn the power off and leave it off for approximately an hour. When the temperature of the lens is similar to the ambient temperature, the frost will disappear.
When there is dew condensation, put the camcorder aside for a while before using
What is dew condensation?
Dew condensation happens when a camcorder is moved to a location where there is a significant temperature difference
from the previous location. The dew condenses on the external or internal parts of the camcorder, and on the reflection lens. If there is dew on or in your camcorder, it may cause the camcorder to malfunction or damage the camcorder when you turn the power on.
Exactly when does dew condensation occur?
When you move the camera to a location with a higher temperature than the previous location, or when you move it to
a hot area suddenly. Examples:
- You record outside in cold weather during the winter and then move the camera in indoors.
- You record outside in hot weather after being indoors or inside a car where the A/C was running. What can I do?
Turn the power off, detach the battery, and leave the camcorder in a dry area for 1~2 hours before using it.
84
Use the camcorder after dew condensation has completely disappeared.
Be sure to use the recommended accessories supplied with the camcorder. For service, contact
your nearest Samsung authorised service centre.
