This section provides information that you should know before using this camcorder such as how to use the provided accessories, how to charge the battery, and how to setup the operation mode and initialize setup.

USING THE HAND STRAP

Attach the strap as illustrated below. When you shoot, place your hand through the loop to prevent the camcorder from being dropped and damaged.

ADJUSTING THE LCD SCREEN

The wide LCD screen on your camcorder offers high quality image viewing.

1. Open the LCD screen with your ﬁ nger. The screen opens up to 90°.

•

2. Rotate the LCD screen. When you open the LCD, you can rotate

• it back 25° (to the ﬁ rst click) so that it is parallel with the lens.

• You can also rotate it up to 180° towards the lens and up to 90° backward. To view recordings more conveniently, rotate the screen by 180° towards the lens, then fold it back to the body.

Excessive rotation may damage the connective hinge between the screen and the camcorder.

• Remove ﬁ ngerprints or dust on the screen with a soft cloth.

• When the LCD screen is rotated by 180° toward the lens, the left and the right sides of the subject

are shown in reverse as if you were looking at a mirror. This is not a problem and does not affect the image being recorded.

BASIC CAMCORDER POSITIONING

Continuous Recording (without zoom)

The continuous recording time of the camcorder in the table shows the available recording time when the camcorder is in the recording mode without using any other function after recording starts. When actually recording, the battery pack may discharge 2-3 times faster than this reference, since the record start/stop and zoom functions are being operated, and playback is performed. Prepare additional charged battery pack(s) to allow for the time you are planning to record on the camcorder. Note that the battery pack discharges faster in a cold environment.

The charging time will vary depending on the remaining battery level.

About the battery pack

•

The beneﬁts of the battery pack: the battery pack is small but has a large power capacity. It should be recharged at temperatures between 50°F ~ 86°F (10°C ~ 30°C). However, when it is exposed to cold temperatures (below 32°F (0°C)), 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.

•

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

•

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

•

Do not allow battery pack terminals to be short-circuited. It may cause leakage, generate heat, or cause a ﬁre.

preparation

Maintaining the battery pack

•

The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental conditions.

•

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

•

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.

•

Even when the power is switched off, the battery pack will still discharge if it is left in the camcorder. If you do not use the camcorder for an extended time period, up to 6 months, deplete the battery pack fully, remove it from the camcorder, and then store it in a cool place.

•

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". ²page 81

•

When not using the camcorder for more than 6 months, we recommended you fully charge the battery pack once every 6 months, attach it to the camcorder and use it until it is fully depleted. 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 the battery.

•

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

Using an AC power source

We recommend that you use the AC power adaptor to power the camcorder from a household AC outlet when you change settings, play back, or use the camcorder indoors. To power the camcorder, make the same connections you do when charging the battery pack.

page 15

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.

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

•

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.

about the storage media

SELECTING A SUITABLE MEMORY CARD

A memory card is a compact portable storage media.

Compatible memory cards

•

This camcorder can use SD (Secure Digital) and SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) cards. It is recommended to use an SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) card. SD cards up to 2GB are supported with this camcorder. Normal operation is not guaranteed with SD cards bigger than 2GB.

•

Compatible memory card capacity: SD: 512MB~2GB, SDHC: 4~32GB

•

Compatible recording media: We recommend the following recording media for use with this camcorder. We do not recommend others, so buy such products with caution. SDHC/SD memory cards made by: By Panasonic, SanDisk, and Toshiba.

•

If you use other media, the media may fail to record data correctly, or may lose data that has already been recorded. For video recording, use a memory card that supports a faster write speed (at least 2MB/sec).

•

SD/SDHC memory cards have a mechanical write-protection switch. Setting the switch prevents accidental erasure of ﬁles recorded on the card. To enable writing, move the switch up in the direction of the terminals. To set write protection, move the switch down.

Usable Memory Card

(512MB~32GB)

Terminals

SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) Memory Card

•

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

•

Due to a changed File Allocation System and physical speciﬁcations, the SDHC memory card cannot be used with current SD enabled host devices. The SDHC memory card can only be used with SDHC enabled host devices which carry a SDHC logo on their exteriors or in their operation manuals.

Common cautions for memory card

•

Damaged data may not be recovered. We recommend you make a backup 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.

•

If you modify the name of a ﬁle or folder stored in the memory card using your PC, your camcorder may not recognize the modiﬁed ﬁle.

Protection tab

SDHC

Handling a memory card

•

We recommend you turn off the camcorder before inserting or removing a memory card to avoid data loss.

•

There is no guarantee that you can use a memory card formatted by other devices. Be sure to format your memory card using this camcorder.

•

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

page 73

•

If you cannot use a memory card that has been used by 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 humid conditions, or a dusty environment.

•

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

•

Do not paste anything on the card except a label on the label pasting portion.

•

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

The camcorder supports SD/SDHC 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 difﬁ culties 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 at a lower resolution."

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

•

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.

SDHC

•

MMC (Multi Media Card) and MMC Plus are not supported.

•

Samsung is not responsible for data loss due to misuse.

•

We recommend using a memory card case to avoid data loss caused by moving and static electricity. After a period of use, the memory card may get warm. This is normal and is not a malfunction.

ZOOMING IN AND OUT

Use the zoom function for close-up or wide-angle recording. This camcorder allows you to record using 10x optical power zoom and 1200x digital

zoom.

•

You can zoom with the zoom lever or the Control (W/T) button on the LCD panel.

using with a Windows computer

USING THE Intelli-studio PROGRAM

Using Intelli-studio, the built-in editing program in your camcorder, you can transfer video/photo ﬁles onto your PC and edit them on your computer. The Intelli-studio offers the most convenient way for you to manage video/photo ﬁles by using the simple USB cable connection between the camcorder and your PC.

Step 1. Connecting the USB cable

1. Set the menu setting to "PC Software: On." ²page 81

•

The default menu settings are displayed in the graphic to the right.

• If you have the SMX-C24, select the storage media (built-in or memory card) in the settings menu. ²page 30

2. Connect the camcorder and the PC with the USB cable.

• A new ﬁle saving screen appears with the Intelli-studio main window.

• According to your computer type, the corresponding removable disk window appears.

Click "Yes" to start the uploading procedure. Click "Yes" to conﬁrm.

• If you do not want to save a new ﬁle, select "No."

Disconnecting the USB cable:

To disconnect the USB cable after completing the ﬁle transfer, you must follow these steps:

Click the “Safely Remove Hardware icon” icon on the taskbar.

Select “USB Mass Storage Device”, and then click “Stop.”

If the “Stop a Hardware device” window appears, click “OK.”

Disconnect the USB cable from the camcorder and PC.

Use the provided USB cable.

•

Don’t apply excessive force when inserting or extracting the USB cable into or from a USB jack.

•

Insert the USB plug after conﬁrming you are inserting it in the correct direction.

•

We recommend using the AC power adaptor as power supply instead of the battery pack.

•

When the USB cable is connected, turning the camcorder on or off may cause the PC to malfunction.

•

If you disconnect the USB cable from the PC or the camcorder while transferring data, the data

•

transfer will stop and the data may be damaged. If you connect the USB cable to a PC via a USB HUB or simultaneously connect the USB cable

•

along with other USB devices, the camcorder may not work properly. If this occurs, remove all USB devices from the PC and reconnect the camcorder. Intelli-studio may not run automatically. If this occurs, access My Computer or Windows Explorer,

•

open the drive that corresponds to your camcorder, and then run IStudio.exe.
