important information on use

IMPORTANT NOTE

Handle the liquid crystal display (LCD) with care:

•

- The LCD is a very delicate display device: Do not press its surface with excessive force, hit it or prick it with a sharp object.

- If you push the LCD surface, unevenness in display may occur. If unevenness does not disappear, turn the camcorder off, wait

for a few moments, and then turn it on again.

- Do not place the camcorder with the open LCD screen down.

- Close the LCD monitor when not using the camcorder.

Liquid crystal display:

•

- The LCD screen is a product of high precision technology. Out of the total pixels (approx. 230,000 pixels of an LCD monitor ),

0.01% or less pixels may be out (black dots) or may remain lit as coloured dots (red, blue, and green). This shows the limitations of the current technology, and does not indicate a fault that will interfere with recording.

- The LCD screen will be slightly dimmer than usual when the camcorder is at low temperature, as in cold areas, or right after

the power is turned on. Normal brightness will be restored when the temperature inside the camcorder rises. Note that the above mentioned phenomena have no effect on the image in a storage media, so there is no cause for concern.

•

Hold the camcorder correctly:

- Do not hold the camcorder by the LCD monitor when lifting it: the LCD monitor could detach and the camcorder may fall.

Do not subject the camcorder to impact:

•

- This camcorder is a precision machine. Take great care that you do not strike it against a hard object or let it fall.

Do not use the camcorder on a tripod in a place where it is subject to severe vibrations or impact.

No sand or dust!

•

- Fine sand or dust entering the camcorder or AC power adaptor could cause malfunctions or defects.

No water or oil!

•

- Water or oil entering the camcorder or AC power adaptor could cause electric shock, malfunctions or defects.

Heat on surface of product:

•

- The surface of the camcorder will be slightly warm when used, but this does not indicate a fault.

•

Be careful of unusual ambient temperature:

Using the camcorder in a place where the temperature is over 104°F (40°C) or lower than 32°F (0°C)

recording/playback.

- Do not leave the camcorder on a beach or in a closed vehicle where the temperature is very high for a long time:

This could cause malfunctions.

Do not point directly at the sun:

•

- If direct sunlight strikes the lens, the camcorder could malfunction or a ﬁre could occur.

- Do not leave the camcorder with the LCD screen exposed to direct sunlight: This could cause malfunction.

Do not use the camcorder near TV or radio:

•

- This could cause noise to appear on the TV screen or in radio broadcasts.

tower or electric appliances, noise could enter video and audio that are being recorded. During playback of normally recorded video and audio, noise may also be present in photo and sound. At worst the camcorder could malfunction.

Do not expose the camcorder to soot or steam:

•

- Thick soot or steam could damage the camcorder case or cause malfunctions.

Do not use the camcorder near corrosive gas:

•

- If the camcorder is used in a place where there is dense exhaust gas generated by gasoline or diesel engines, or corrosive

gas such as hydrogen sulphide, the external or internal terminals could corrode, disabling normal operation, or the battery connection terminals could corrode, so that power will not turn on.

Do not use the camcorder near ultrasonic humidiﬁer:

•

- Calcium and other chemicals dissolved in water could scatter in the air, and white particles could adhere to the optical head of

the camcorder, which could cause it to operate abnormally.

About the battery pack

English_21

•

Beneﬁts of the battery pack: The battery pack is small but has a large power capacity. It should be recharged in any environment that is between 50°F ~ 86°F (10°C ~ 30°C). However, when it is exposed to cold temperatures (below 0°C (32°F)), its usage time is reduced and it may cease to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or any other warm, protected place for a short time, then reattach it to the camcorder.

•

The continuous recording times in the operating instructions are measured using a fully charged battery pack at 25 °C (77 °F). As the environmental temperature and conditions vary, the remaining battery time may differ from the approximate continuous recording times given in the instructions.

Handling the battery pack

•

To preserve battery power, keep your camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.

•

To save battery power, you can set the operation for 5 minutes. To disable this option, change the setting of "Auto Power Off" to "Off"²page 93

•

Do not allow metallic objects to come into contact with the terminals.

•

Make sure that the battery pack ﬁts ﬁrmly into place. Do not drop the battery pack. Dropping the battery pack may cause damage.

•

Be careful to keep the battery pack out of the reach of children. It is a choking hazard, if swallowed.

•

Frequent use of the LCD screen or using the fast forward or rewind buttons wears out the battery pack faster.

•

Remove the battery pack from the camcorder for safekeeping after using your camcorder.

•

Leaving the battery pack for extended period of time may discharge the battery pack completely.

- A battery pack which is completely discharged may not turn on the recharging LED during charging. It is designed to protect the battery pack. If the recharging LED turns on normally within 5 minutes, use the battery pack as normal.

preparation

Maintaining the battery pack

•

We recommend only using the original battery pack that is available from your Samsung retailer. When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer. The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.

•

Clean the terminals to remove any foreign substances before inserting the battery.

•

Do not put the battery pack near any heat source (i.e. ﬁre or heater).

•

Do not disassemble, apply pressure to, or heat the battery pack.

•

Do not allow the ' + ' and '-' terminals of the battery pack to be short-circuited. It may cause leakage, heat generation, induce overheating or ﬁre.

•

Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water resistant.

•

When fully discharged, a battery pack damages the internal cells. The battery pack may be prone to leakage when fully discharged.

•

Remove from charger or powered unit when not in use. Even when the power is switched off, the battery pack will still discharge if it is left attached to the camcorder.

•

When not using the camcorder for an extended period: It is recommended that you fully charge the battery pack once every 6 months, attach it to the camcorder and use it up: then remove the battery pack and store it in a cool place.

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 it with a new one.

•

Each battery's life is governed by storage, operating and environmental conditions.

Use only Samsung-approved battery packs. Do not use batteries from other manufacturers because, there is a danger of overheating, ﬁre or explosion. Samsung is not responsible for problems occurring due to using unapproved batteries.

22_English

Using a household power source

English_23

Make the same connections as you do when charging the battery pack. The battery pack will not lose its charge in this case.

Using the camcorder with the AC power adaptor

It is recommended that you use the AC power adaptor to power the camcorder from a household AC outlet when you perform settings on it, play back, or use it indoors.

- Make the same connections as you do when charging the battery pack. ²page 17

•

Before detaching the power source, make sure that the camcorder’s power is turned off.

CAUTION

Failure to do so can result in camcorder malfunction.

•

Use a nearby wall outlet when using the AC power adaptor. Disconnect the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet immediately if any malfunction occurs while using your camcorder.

•

Do not use the AC power adaptor in a narrow space, such as between a wall and furniture.

•

Be sure to use the speciﬁed AC power adaptor to power the camcorder. Using other AC power adaptors could cause electric shock or result in ﬁre.

•

The AC power adaptor can be used around the world. An AC plug adaptor is required in some foreign countries. If you need one, purchase it from your distributor.

Auto Power Off Function

To save battery power, you can set the "Auto Power Off" function which turns off the

camcorder if there is no operation for 5 minutes. To disable this option, change the setting of "Auto Power Off" to "Off."

about the storage media

SELECTING A SUITABLE MEMORY CARD

A memory card is a compact portable storage media with a data capacity that exceeds the capacity of a ﬂ oppy disk.

•

You can use a SDHC memory card and MMC plus.

(If needed, buy a memory card separately.)

- You can also use a SD memory card, but it is recommended that you use a SDHC memory card and MMC plus with your camcorder. (SD cards up to 2GB are supported with this camcorder. Normal operation is not guaranteed with SD cards bigger than 2GB.)

•

In this camcorder, you can use memory cards (SDHC or MMCplus) of the following capacity: 512MB ~ 32GB

•

Compatible recording media

- The following recording media have been recommended for use with this camcorder. Others are not recommended, so buy such products with caution.

SDHC or SD memory cards: By Panasonic, SanDisk, and TOSHIBA MMC plus: By Transcend

•

If other media are used, they may fail to record data correctly, or they may lose data that has already been recorded.

•

For video recording, use a memory card that supports faster write speed (at least 2MB/sec).

SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) Memory Card

•

The SDHC card is a higher version (Ver.2.00) of SD card and supports capacity above 2GB.

•

An SDHC card has a mechanical write protection switch. Setting the switch prevents accidental erasure of ﬁ les recorded on the card. To enable writing, move the switch up towards terminals. To set write protection, move the switch down.

•

Due to a change File Allocation System and physical speciﬁ cations, The SDHC memory card cannot be used with current SD-enabled host devices. The SDHC memory card can be used with SDHC-enabled host devices which carry a SDHC logo on the device itself or on its operation manual.

(512MB ~32GB)

•

MMCplus, cards have no protection tab so please use the protect function in the menu.

Common cautions for memory card

•

Damaged data may not be recovered. It is recommended you make a back-up of important data on the hard disk of your PC.

•

Turning the power off or removing a memory card during operations 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.

Handling a memory card

•

It is recommended that you power off before inserting or removing the memory card to avoid data loss.

•

It is not guaranteed that you can use a memory card formatted by other devices. Be sure to format your memory card using this camcorder.

•

You have to format newly-purchased memory cards, memory cards with data that your camcorder cannot recognise or are saved by other devices. Note that formatting erases all data on the memory card.

•

If you cannot use a memory card that has been used with another device, format it with your camcorder. Note that formatting erases all information on the memory card.

•

A memory card has a certain life span. If you cannot record new data, you have to purchase a new memory card.

•

A memory card is a precision electronic media. Do not bend, drop, or cause strong impact to the card.

•

Do not use or store at high temperatures, in humidity or a dusty environment.

•

Do not bring foreign substances on the memory card terminals. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the terminals if required.

•

Do not paste anything other than exclusive label on the label pasting portion.

•

Be careful to keep the memory card out of the reach of children, who might swallow it.

about the storage media

The camcorder supports SDHC and MMCplus memory cards for data storage.

•

The data storage speed may differ, depending on the manufacturer and production system.

•

Users using a lower write speed memory card for recording a video may have difﬁculties storing the video on the memory card. You can 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 a lower resolution."

To facilitate video recording, you are recommended to use a memory card that supports faster write speed.

•

If you are forced to use a low speed memory card, resolution of the recording may be lower than the set value. However, the higher the resolution, the more memory will be used.

•

For optimal performance of the camcorder, ensure that you purchase a fast speed memory card.

Actual formatted capacity may be less as the internal ﬁrmware uses a portion of the memory.

•

Samsung is not responsible for data loss due to misuse.

•

We recommend using a memory card case to avoid losing data from moving and static electricity.

•

After a period of use, the memory card may get warm. This is normal and is not a malfunction.

•

The focus changes when zooming after focussing manually. Focus automatically or seize the desired scene by zooming before focussing manually.²page

•

Optical zoom preserves image quality, but during digital zoom the image quality may suffer.

•

Fast zooming or zooming in subject from afar may produce slow focussing. In this case, use "Manual Focus."²page 62

•

It is recommended to use "Anti-Shake (HDIS)" with handheld recording if the subject is zoomed in and enlarged.

•

Frequent use of the zoom function consumes more power.

•

The zooming speed of the zoom lever and zoom button are different.

• This function is disabled after being used one time.

• 25 captured images compose a video of 1 second length. Since the minimum length of a video to be saved by your camcorder is one second, the interval deﬁ nes how long the Time Lapse Recording should be set for. For example, if you set the interval to “30 Sec,” Time Lapse Recording should be set for at least 15 minutes to record a minimum video length of 1 second (25 images).

• Once the Time Lapse REC ﬁ nishes recording for its total recording time, it switches to standby mode.

• Press the Recording start/stop button if you want to stop the Time Lapse REC.

• Audio is not recorded during Time Lapse Recording.

• When a video recording ﬁ lls up 1.8GB of storage media, a new recording ﬁ le is automatically started at that point.

• When the battery is discharged exhausted during Time Lapse REC, it saves recording up to that point and switches to standby mode. After a while, it displays a warning message, then turns off automatically.

• When memory runs out while performing Time Lapse REC, the camcorder switches to standby mode after saving what was recorded so far.

• We recommend using the AC power adaptor when using the Time Lapse REC function.

• When a time lapse recording starts, a message of “Time Lapse Recording” blinks on the screen and it appeared to be as if the screen is stopped. This is a normal operation; do not remove the power source or memory card from the camcorder.
