Notices regarding Copyright (VP-D6550i only)
Television programmes, video tapes, DVD titles, films, and other
programme materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized copying of copyrighted material may be against the law.
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:
■
When you move the Camcorder from a cold location to a warm
location (e.g. from outside to inside during the winter.)
■
When you move the Camcorder from a cool location to a hot
location (e.g. from inside to outside during the summer.)
1.
DVD
■
■
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 pack removed.
Notes regarding 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.
2. Do not let the Camcorder get wet.
Keep the Camcorder away from rain, sea water, and any other
form of moisture. If the Camcorder gets wet, it may get damaged.
Sometimes a malfunction due to exposure to liquids cannot be
repaired.

Notes and Safety Instructions
Notes regarding the Battery Pack
■
Be sure to use a recommended battery pack as described on page 24.
The batteries are available at a SAMSUNG retailer.
■
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 Camcorder is in REC 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.
■
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 avoid damage to the battery pack, make sure to remove the battery
when no charge remains.
■
It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD screen when
recording for long periods, because the LCD screen consumes more
battery power.
■
When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your
local dealer.
The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.
■
Be careful not to drop the battery pack when you release it from
the camcorder.
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.

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).
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 holding the Viewfinder.
3. Applying excessive force to the Viewfinder may damage it.
Notes regarding ‘Record’ or ‘Playback’ Using the LCD Screen
1. 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.
2. When you use the LCD screen 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 screen.
Notes regarding the Hand Strap
■
To ensure a steady picture while filming, check that
the hand strap is properly adjusted.
■
Do not force your hand into the hand strap as you
could damage it.

3. When the Lithium battery becomes weak or dead, the date/time
indicator will display 00:00 1.JAN.2005 when you set the Date/Time to
on. When this occurs, replace the Lithium battery with a new one
(type CR2025).
4. There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Warning: Keep the Lithium battery out of reach of children. Should a
battery be swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.

Getting to Know Your Camcorder
Features
■
Multi OSD Language
You can select the desired OSD language from OSD List.
■
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. (VP-D6550 is not able to receive digital data from
another DV Device)
■
USB Interface for Digital Image Data Transfer
You can transfer images to a PC using the USB interface without an add-on card.
■
Integrated Camcorder/Digital Still Camera operation
An integrated digital imaging device that easily converts between a Digital
Camcorder and a Digital Still Camera with a flip of the Power Switch, ensuring
comfortable and easy recording.
■
900x Digital Zoom
Allows you to magnify an image up to 900x (Camcorder Mode) or 12x (Camera
Mode) its original size.
■
Colour TFT LCD
A high-resolution colour TFT LCD gives you clean, sharp images as well as the
ability to review your recordings immediately.
■
Digital Image Stabilizer (DIS)
The DIS compensates for any handshake, reducing unstable images particularly at
high magnification.
■
Various Digital Effects (DSE)
The DSE (Digital Special Effects) allows you to give your films a special look by
adding various special effects.
■
Back Light Compensation (BLC)
The BLC function compensates for the bright background behind a subject you're
recording.
