Setting the File Number
✤The images you take are automatically assigned file numbers from 0001 to 9999.
✤Set the image file numbers so that they reset each time a Memory Stick is formatted, or so that they count up
continuously.
■SERIES
- Numbering remains in order between Memory Sticks, so that the first file number assigned on a new Memory Stick
is 1 more than the last file number assigned on the previous Memory Stick.
- When the file number is set to SERIES, each image taken is assigned a different number, avoiding duplication of
numbers. This is convenient when you want to manage your images on a PC.
- We recommend keeping the file numbers set to SERIES.
■RESET
When the Memory Stick is formatted, the file number resets to its default value (100-0001).
If the Memory Stick already contains files, the next available number is assigned.
1. Set the mode switch to MEMORY.
2. Set the power switch to CAMERA or PLAYER mode.

Troubleshooting
✤Before contacting a Samsung authorized service center, perform the following simple checks.
They may save you the time and expense of an unnecessary call.
Self Diagnosis Display
Moisture Condensation
✤If the camcorder is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may condense inside the camcorder,
on the surface of the tape, or on the lens. In this condition, the tape may stick to the head drum and be damaged or the
unit may not operate correctly.
To prevent possible damage under these circumstances, the camcorder is fitted with a moisture sensor.
✤If there is moisture inside the camcorder, (DEW) is displayed. If this happens, none of the functions except cassette
ejection will work.
Open the cassette compartment and remove the battery.
Leave the camcorder for at least two hours in a dry warm room.
