The digital camcorder converts incoming audio and video signals into digital form for recording.

A video signal is comprised of a luminance signal (Y) and color signals (R-Y and B-Y). These signals are

identified and recorded digitally (Digital Component Recording). The A/D (Analog to Digital) converter

samples the Y signal at 13.5 MHz, and R-Y and B-Y at 3.375 MHz, and changes them to an 8-bit quantum

signal.

Sound sarnl)led at 48 kHz is changed to a 16-bit quantum signal, and sound sampled at ;2 kHz is converted to

a 12-bit signal.

About Batteries

DANGER/ Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or

expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may cause a fire

or exl;losion.

WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to come

in contact with metals, as this can result in a short circuit and

rlossibly start a fire.

The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Litlqum-ion battery packs are small but have a large power

capacity, f towever, when one is exposed to cold temperatures

(below 1 0 ° C/50 ° F), its usage time becomes shorter and it

may cease to function. If this happens, place the battery pack

in your pocket or other warm, protected )lace for a short time,

then re-attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery )ack

itself is not cold, it should not affect performance.

(If you're usin_ a heating lad, make sure the battery pack does

not come in direct contact with it.)

not be obtainable in the situations listed below (in these

cases use manual focusing):

• When two subjects overlap in the same scene.

°When illumination is low.*

• When the subject has no contrast (difference in bright-

hess and darl<ness), such as a flat, one-color wall, or a

clear, blue sky.*

• When a darl< object is barely visible in the viewfinder.*

• When the scene contains minute patterns or identical

patterns that are regularly repeated.

• When the scene is affected by sunbeams or light

reflecting off the surface of a body of water.

... do not short-circuit the terminals.

... do not modify or disassemble.

... do not expose the battery to temperatures

exceeding 60°C (140°F), as this may cause the

battery to overheat, exl-_lode or catch fire.

... use only specified chargers.

2. To prevent damage and pro[ong service life...

... do not subject to unnecessary shock.

... charge in an el]vironl_ent where temperatures are

within the tolerances shown in the chart below.

This is a chemical reaction type batter_cooler

temperatures impede chemical reaction, while

warl_er temperatLires can prevent cocnplete

charging.

... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to

high temperatures will increase natural discharge

and shorten service life.

... fully charge and then fully discharge the battery

every 6 months when storing the battery pack

over a long period time.

... remove from charger or powered LII]it when not Jr]

use, as some cnachines use cLirrent ever] when

switched off.

About moisture condensation...

• You have observed that pouring a cold liquid

into a glass will cause drops of water to form

on the glass' outer surface. This same

phenomenon occurs on the head drum of a

camcorder when it is moved from a cool

[)lace to a warm place, after heating a cold

room, under extremely humid conditions or

in a place directly subjected to the cool air

from an air conditioner.

• Moisture on tile head drum car/cause severe

damage to the vide() tape, and can lead to

internal damage to the camcorder itself.

Serious malfunctioning

If malfunctioning occurs, st()[) using tile unit

immediately and consuh your local JVC dealer.
