Notes and Safety Instructions
Notes regarding the Rotation of the LCD Screen
Please rotate the LCD Screen carefully as illustrated. Over rotation may
cause damage to the inside of the hinge that connects the LCD Screen to
the Camcorder.
1. Open the LCD Screen 90 degrees to the Camcorder with your finger.
2. Rotate it to the best angle to record or play.
■
If you rotate the LCD Screen 180 degrees so it is facing forward, you
can close the LCD Screen with the display facing out.
■
This is convenient during playback operations.
[ Note ]
Refer to page 29 to adjust brightness and colour of the LCD Screen.
Notes regarding the LCD Screen, Viewfinder, Lens
1. Direct sunlight can damage the LCD Screen, the inside of the
Viewfinder or the Lens. Take pictures of the sun only in low light
conditions, such as at dusk.
2. The LCD Screen has been manufactured using high precision
technology.
However, there may be tiny dots (red, blue or green in colour) that
appear on the LCD Screen. These dots are normal and do not
affect the recorded picture in any way.
3. Do not pick up the Camcorder by holding the Viewfinder, LCD Screen or Battery Pack.
4. Applying excessive force to the Viewfinder may damage it.
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.

Preparation
The amount of continuous recording time available depends on;
- The type and capacity of the Battery Pack you are using.
- Ambient temperature.
- How often the Zoom function is used.
- Type of use (Camcorder/Camera/With LCD Screen etc.).
It is recommended that you have several batteries available.
Battery Level Display
The battery level display indicates the amount of power remaining in the Battery Pack.
a. Fully charged b. 20~40% used
c. 40~80% used d. 80~95% used
e. Completely used (Blinking)
(The Camcorder will turn off soon, change the battery as soon as possible.)
Battery Pack Management
■
The Battery Pack should be recharged in an environment between 32 °F (0 °C) and 104 °F (40°C).
■
The life and capacity of the Battery Pack will be reduced if it is used in temperatures below 32 °F (0 °C) or left in
temperatures above 104 °F (40 °C) for a long period of time, even when it is fully recharged.
■
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 the + and – terminals of the Battery Pack to be short-circuited. It may cause leakage, heat generation,
induce overheating or fire.

ENGLISH
Preparation
Notes regarding the Battery Pack
■
Please refer to the table on page 16 for approximate continuous recording time.
■
The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental conditions.
■
The recording time shortens dramatically in a cold environment. As the environmental temperature and conditions vary.
■
The continuous recording times in the operating instructions are measured using a fully charged Battery Pack at 77 °F
(25 °C). The remaining battery time may differ from the approximate continuous recording times given in the
instructions.
■
It is recommended you use the original Battery Pack that is available at 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.
■
Make sure that the Battery Pack is fully charged before starting to record.
■
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.
■
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.
