Precautions on Camcorder Care
✤ Please note the following precautions for use:
✤ Please keep the device in a safe place. The 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. Particular care should be observed if photographing infants, when the flash should be no less
than 1m (approx. 3.3 feet) from your subject.
If the device is not working properly, please consult your nearest dealer or authorised Samsung service facility.
Disassembling the device yourself may cause irrecoverable damage which will be difficult to repair.
Clean the device 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 (CAMERA) mode when taking still images. (Image quality of (CAMERA) mode is
better than CAMCORDER mode.)

Notices Regarding COPYRIGHT
✤ Television programmes, movie video tapes, DVD titles, films and other programme materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorised recording of copyrighted materials may infringe on the rights of the Copyright owners and is contrary to
copyright laws.
✤ 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.
Notes Regarding Moisture Condensation
1. A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause condensation to form inside the camcorder.
For Example:
✤ Entering or leaving a heated place on a cold day might cause condensation inside the product.
✤ To prevent condensation, place the product in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to a sudden change in
temperature.
2. If the (DEW) protection feature is activated, leave the camcorder for at least two hours in a dry, warm room with the
cassette compartment opened and the battery removed.
Notes Regarding the CAMCORDER
1. Do not leave the camcorder exposed to high temperature (above 60°C or 140°F).
For example, in a parked closed car in summer or exposed to direct sunlight.
2. Do not let the camcorder get wet. Keep the camcorder away from rain, salt water, or any other form of moisture. The
product will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high levels of moisture.
1111
ENGLISH
Notes and Safety Instructions
Notes Regarding the Battery Pack
✤ Make sure 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, and it is left in STBY mode without being operated for more than 5 minutes with a
tape loaded, it will automatically turn itself off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.
✤ Make sure that the battery pack is attached firmly in place.
✤ The new battery pack provided with the product is not charged.
Before using the battery pack, you need to fully charge it.
✤ Do not drop the battery pack. Dropping the battery pack may damage it.
✤ It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD monitor when recording for long periods, because the LCD
monitor consumes more battery power.
✤ Fully discharging a Lithium-Ion battery damages the internal cells. The battery pack may be prone to leakage when fully
discharged.
✤ To avoid damage to the battery pack, make sure to remove the battery when no charge remains.
✳
When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.
Batteries must be disposed of as chemical waste.
✳
Be careful not to drop the battery pack when you release it from the camcorder.
1212
Notes and Safety Instructions
Notes Regarding Video Head Cleaning
✤ To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video heads regularly. If a square block-shaped 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.
Notes Regarding the Lens
✤ Do not film with the camera lens pointing directly at the sun.
Direct sunlight can damage the CCD (Charge Coupled Device, the imaging sensor).
Notes Regarding the Electronic Viewfinder
1. Do not position the camcorder such that the viewfinder is pointing directly towards the sun.
Direct sunlight can damage the inside of the viewfinder. Be careful when setting the camcorder in a sunny place 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.
Notes Regarding ‘Record’ or ‘Playback’ Using the LCD
1. The LCD monitor has been manufactured using the high precision technology.
However, there may be tiny dots (red, blue or green in colour) that
appear on the LCD monitor.
These dots are normal and do not affect the recorded picture in
any way.
2. When you use the LCD monitor 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.

ENGLISH
Notes and Safety Instructions
Notes Regarding the Hand Strap
✤ To ensure a steady picture during filming, make sure that the hand strap is properly adjusted.
✤ Do not force your hand into the hand strap as you could damage it.
Precautions Regarding the Lithium Battery Cell
1. The Lithium battery maintains the clock function and user settings; even when the battery pack or AC adapter is removed.
2. The Lithium battery for the camcorder lasts about 6 months under normal operation from the time of installation.
Servicing
✤ Do not attempt to service this CAMCORDER yourself.
✤ Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
✤ Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Replacement Parts
✤ When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer and having the same characteristics as the original part.
✤ Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
CAUTION
✤ DO NOT FIRE THE FLASH WHILE SCREENING THE FLASH BY HANDS. DO NOT TOUCH THE FLASHLIGHT AFTER
CONTINUOUS FIRING OF THE FLASH. POSSIBLE BURNING HAZARD.
WARNING
✤ DO NOT FIRE THE FLASH FROM A SHORT DISTANCE TO A PERSON (ESPECIALLY TOWARDS AN INFANT).
CLOSE FIRING A FLASH MIGHT CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO ONE’S EYES.

Battery Level Display
The Battery Level Display shows the amount of battery power remaining in the Battery Pack.
a. Fully Charged
b. 20 ~ 40% used
c. 40 ~ 80% used
d. 80 ~ 95% used
e. Exhausted (flickers)
(The device will soon turn off. Change the Battery Pack as soon as possible)
Tips for Battery Identification
A charge mark is provided on the battery pack to help you remember whether it has been
charged or not.
Two colours are provided (red and gray). You may choose which one indicates charged and
which indicates discharged.
The charge mark setting does not affect the battery charge status.
Reference
✤ Please refer to the Table on page 29 for approximate continuous recording times.
✤ The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental conditions.
✤ The recording time shortens dramatically 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 environmental temperature and conditions may
differ from your actual use of the camcorder, the remaining battery time may differ from the approximate continuous
recording times given in the instructions.
