Precautions on Camcorder Care

✤ Please note the following precautions for use: ✤ Please keep your device in a safe place. This device contains a

lens that can be damaged by shock. Keep away from the reach of the children.

■

Do not place your device in a wet place. Moisture and water may cause the device to malfunction.

■

Do not aim the device at the sun while looking through the viewfinder; this may cause permanent damage to your eyes.

■

To avoid electric shock, do not touch your device or power cable with wet hands.

■

Do not use the flash close to another's eyes. The flash emits a strong light that may cause damage similar to direct sunlight on one's eyesight.

■

If the device is not working properly, please consult your nearest dealer or authorized Samsung service facility. Disassembling the device yourself may cause irrecoverable damage which will be difficult to repair.

■

Clean the body with a dry, soft cloth. Use a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution for removing stains. Do not use any type of solvent, especially benzenes, as they may seriously damage the finish.

■

Keep your device away from rain and saltwater. After using, clean the device. Saltwater may cause the parts to corrode.

■

For better quality, please use CAMERAmode when taking still images. (CAMERA mode image quality is better than CAMCORDER mode.)

Notes and Safety Instructions

Notices Regarding COPYRIGHT

Television programs, video tapes, DVD titles, films, and other program materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized copying of copyrighted material may be against the law.

Notes Regarding Moisture Condensation

1. A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause moisture condensation to form inside the camcorder.

For Example:

- When you take the camcorder from a cold place to a warm place (e.g. from outside to inside during winter.)

- When you take the camcorder from a cool place to a hot place (e.g. from inside to outside during the summer.)

2. When the (DEW) protection feature is activated, leave the camcorder in a dry, warm room with the cassette compartment opened and the battery removed, for at least two hours.

Notes Regarding the CAMCORDER

1. Do not leave the camcorder exposed to high temperatures (above 60°C or 140°F). For example, in a parked car in the sun or exposed to direct sunlight.

60°C 140°F

2. Do not let the camcorder get wet. Keep the camcorder away from rain, saltwater, and any other form of moisture. If the camcorder gets wet, it may be damaged. A malfunction due to exposure to liquids cannot always be repaired.

1111

ENGLISH

Notes and Safety Instructions

Notes Regarding the Battery Pack

- 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 device is in CAMCORDER mode with a tape installed, and it is left in STBY mode without being operated for more than 5 minutes it will automatically turn itself off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.

- Make sure that the battery pack fits firmly into place. Dropping the battery pack may damage it.

- A brand new battery pack will not be charged. Before using the battery pack, you need to charge it completely.

- It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD when recording for long periods, because the LCD uses up more battery power.

* When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your

local dealer. The batteries need to be dealt with as chemical waste.

* Be careful not to drop the battery when you release it

Notes Regarding Video Head Cleaning

- To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video heads regularly. If the picture is distorted, 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.

1212

ENGLISH

Notes and Safety Instructions

Note Regarding the LENS

- Do not film with the camera lens pointing directly at the sun. Direct sunlight can damage the CCD (Charge Coupled Device).

- Over-rotating of the LENS body block may damage it.

Notes Regarding Electronic Viewfinder

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 the viewfinder.

Notes Regarding ‘Record’ or ‘Playback’ Using the LCD

1. The LCD display has been manufactured using high-precision technology. However, there may be tiny dots (red, blue or green in color) that appear on the LCD display. These dots are normal and do not affect the recorded picture in any way.

2. When you use the LCD display 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 monitor.

Notes Regarding the Hand Strap

- To ensure a steady picture during filming, check that the hand strap is properly adjusted.

- Do not force your hand into the hand strap as you could damage it.

Features

• Digital data transfer function with IEEE1394 By incorporating the IEEE 1394 (i.LINK™ : i.LINK is a serial data transfer protocol and interconnectivity system, used to transmit DV data) high speed data transport port, both moving and still images can be transferred to a PC, making it possible to produce or edit various images.

• Unique Style & Free Style Shooting An integrated digital imaging device that easily converts between a CAMCORDER and a CAMERA by using a revolving Lens Body Block.

• High Resolution Image Quality (Digital Still Camera) Employing a 4.13 Mega Pixels CCD, a maximum resolution of 2272 X 1704 is possible.

• Digital Zoom Allows you to magnify an image up to 800X (CAMCORDER mode) or 6X (CAMERA mode) its original size.

• Color TFT LCD A high-resolution color TFT LCD gives you clean, sharp images as well as the ability to review your recordings immediately.

• Electronic Image Stabilizer (EIS) The EIS compensates for any shaking that occurs when the camera is handheld, reducing unstable images particularly at high magnification.

• Various Digital Effects The DSE (Digital Special Effects) function allows you to give your films a special look by adding various special effects.

• Back Light Compensation (BLC) The BLC function compensates for a bright background behind the subject you're recording.

• Program AE The Program AE enables you to alter the shutter speed and aperture to suit the type of scene/action to be filmed.

• NITE PIX / NIGHT SCENE The NITE PIX or NIGHT SCENE function enables you to record a subject in a dark place.

• USB Interface for Digital Image Data Transfer You can transfer still images to a PC using the USB interface without an add-on card.

✤ Please refer to the table on page 28 for approximate continuous

recording times.

✤ The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental

conditions. The recording time becomes very short in a cold environment. The continuous recording times in the operating instructions are measured using a fully charged battery pack at 77°F(25°C). As the temperature and environmental conditions may differ from this when you actually use the camcorder, the remaining battery time may not be the same as the approximate continuous recording times given in these instructions.
