Please rotate the LCD monitor carefully as illustrated.
Over rotation may cause damage to the inside of the hinge that connects the
LCD monitor to the Camcorder.
1. LCD monitor closed.
2. Standard recording using the LCD

■
A LCD monitor is opened applying
a finger to LCD open knob.
3. Recording when looking at the LCD
monitor from the top.
4. Recording when looking at the LCD
monitor from the front.
5. Recording when looking at the LCD
monitor from the left.
Television programs, video tapes, DVD titles, films and other program
materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized copying of copyrighted material may be against the law.
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 winter.)
- When you move the camcorder from a cool location to a hot location (e.g.
from inside to outside during the summer.)
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 temperature (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
- 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 CAMERA mode and it is left in
STBY mode without being operated for more than 5
minutes with a tape installed, it will automatically turn
itself off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.
- Make sure that the battery pack is located correctly and
firmly in place.
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.
- It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD monitor when
making long recordings, because the LCD monitor uses up 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 so that the viewfinder points 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 using the viewfinder.
3. Excessive force when pulling the viewfinder out may damage it.
Notes regarding ‘Record’ or ‘Playback’ using the LCD monitor
1. The LCD monitor has been manufactured
using high precision tech-nology.
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 may be difficult to see the picture clearly.
If this occurs, we recommend using the viewfinder.
3. Direct sunlight can damage the LCD monitor.
Notes regarding the hand strap
- To ensure a steady picture during filming, check that the
hand strap is properly adjusted.
- Do not force your hand into the hand strap as you could
damage it.

Preparation
Using the Lithium Ion Battery Pack
✤ The amount of continuous recording time available depends on :
- The type and capacity of the battery pack you are using.
- How often the Zoom function is used.
It is recommended that you have several batteries available.
Charging the Lithium Ion Battery Pack
1. Attach the battery pack to the camcorder.
2. Connect the AC Power adapter to an AC
cord and connect the AC cord to a wall
socket.
3. Connect the DC cable to the DC jack socket
on the camcorder.
4. Turn the Camera power switch to off, and
the charging indicator will start to flash,
showing that the battery is charging.
Blinking timeCharging rate

three times per second75% ~ 90%
Blinking stops and stays on90% ~ 100%
On for a second and Error - Reset the battery pack and
off for a secondthe DC cable
5. When the battery is fully charged, disconnect the battery
pack and the AC Power adapter from the camcorder.
■
Even with the power switched off, the battery pack
will still discharge if it is left connected to the camcorder.
Notes
■
The battery pack may have some charge in it at the time of purchase.
■
To prevent reduction in the life and capacity of the battery pack,
always remove it from the camcorder after it is fully charged.

Notes
■
The battery pack should be recharged in an environment of between 32°F
(0°C) and 104°F (40°C).
■
The battery pack should never be charged in a room temperature that is
below 32°F (0°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, even when it is fully recharged.
■
Do not put the battery pack near any heat source (fire or flames, for
example).
■
Do not disassemble, process, pressure, or heat the Battery Pack.
■
Do not allow the + and - terminals of the battery pack to be shortcircuited. It may cause leakage, heat generation, induce fire and
overheating.

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 (flickers)
(The camcorder will turn off soon,
change the battery as soon as possible)
✤ Please refer to the table on page 25 for approximate
continuous recording times.
✤ The recording time is affected by environmental
temperature and conditions.
The recording time becomes very short 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 when you
actually use the camcorder, the remaining battery time may not be the
same as the approximate continuous recording times given in these
instructions.
✤ The grey bar shown here to indicate battery level, is actually white in the
LCD monitor (or viewfinder). For example, on the LCD monitor (or
viewfinder), "a" (full) will be displayed as a full white bar, and "e" (empty)
will be displayed as a battery outline with the background image behind it.
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 grey). You may choose
which one indicates charged and which indicates
discharged.
Note
■
The charge mark setting does not affect the battery's
charge status.
