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

•

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.

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.

Terminals Terminals

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.

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.
