Unauthorized copying of copyrighted material may be against the law.
All the trade names and registered trademarks mentioned in this
manual or other documentation provided with your Samsung product
are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective holders.
1. A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause
condensation to form inside the Camcorder.
for example:
■ When you move the Camcorder from a cold location to a warm
location (e.g. from outside to inside during the winter.)
■ When you move the Camcorder from a cool location to a hot

When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your
local dealer. The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.
Notes regarding the Battery Pack
■ It is recommended to use original battery pack that is available at
SAMSUNG service center.
■ Make sure that the Battery pack is fully charged before starting to
record.
■ To preserve battery power, keep your Camcorder turned off when
you are not operating it.
■ If your Camcorder is in CAMERA mode, and it is left in STBY
mode without being operated for more than 5 minutes with a tape
inserted, it will automatically turn itself off to protect against
unnecessary battery discharge.
■ Make sure that the Battery pack is fitted firmly into place.
Do not drop the Battery pack. Dropping the Battery pack may
damage it.
■ A brand new Battery pack is not charged.
Before using the Battery pack, you need to charge it completely.
■ Fully discharging a Lithium-Ion battery damages the internal cells.
The Battery pack may be prone to leakage when fully discharged.
Notes regarding the Video Head Cleaning
■ To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video
heads regularly.
If a square block-shape distorts playback, or only a blue screen is
displayed, the video heads may be dirty.
If this happens, clean the video heads with a dry type cleaning
cassette.
■ Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette. It may damage the video
heads.

Do not film with the camera lens pointing directly at the sun.
Direct sunlight can damage the CCD(Charge Coupled Device).
1. Do not position the Camcorder such that the Viewfinder is pointing
towards the sun.
Direct sunlight can damage the inside of the Viewfinder. Be careful
when placing the Camcorder under sunlight or near a window
exposed to sunlight.
2. Do not pick up the Camcorder by holding the Viewfinder.
3. Applying excessive force to the Viewfinder may damage it.
1. The LCD screen has been
manufactured using high precision
technology. However, there may be
tiny dots (red, blue or green in color)
that appear on the LCD screen.
These dots are normal and do not
affect the recorded picture in any
way.
2. When you use the LCD screen under direct sunlight or outdoors, it
maybe difficult to see the picture clearly.
If this occurs, we recommend using the Viewfinder.
3. Direct sunlight can damage the LCD screen.

[ Notes ]
■ Please refer to the Table on page 22 for approximate continuous
recording time.
■ The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental
conditions.
■ The recording time shortens dramatically in a cold environment.

■ Connecting to other DV standard products.
A standard DV connection is quite simple.
If a product has a DV port, you can transfer data by connecting to
the DV port using the correct cable.
!!! Please be careful since there are two types of DV ports, (4pin,
6pin). This Camcorder has a 4pin terminal.
■ With a digital connection, video and audio signals are transmitted
in digital format, allowing high quality images to be transferred.
■ If you want to transmit data to a PC, you must install an IEEE 1394
add-on card into the PC. (not supplied)
■ The frame rate for video capture is dependent on the capacity of
the PC.
[ Notes ]
■ When you transmit data from the Camcorder to another DV device,
some functions may not work.
If this occurs, please reconnect the DV cable or turn the power
OFF and ON again.
■ When you transmit data from the Camcorder to PC, PC function
button is not available in M.Player mode.
■ Do not use the Camcorder and IEEE1394 together as this will
cause IEEE1394 to shut off.
■ Do not connect the Camcorder to a PC using both DV and USB
cables. It may not operate properly.
■ Operation is not guaranteed for all computer environments
recommended above.
■ The IEEE1394 cable (DV cable)is sold separately.
■ Video Capture software is commercially available.
■ Most DV enabled PCs have a 6 pin socket. In this case, a 6pin/4pin
cable is required for the connection.
■ Most DV enabled Notebooks and Laptops have a 4 pin socket.
Use a 4pin/4pin cable for the connection.
■ DIS and COLOR NITE SHUTTER are not available when in DV
(IEEE1394) mode.
■ If DV (IEEE1394) mode is set, DIS and COLOR NITE SHUTTER
modes will be released.
