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.
■
If the device is out of order, please consult your nearest dealer or authorized Samsung service facility. Disassembling the device
yourself may cause irrecoverable damagewhich will be difficult to repair.
■
Clean the body 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.

Television programs, video tapes, DVD titles, films, and other program materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized copying of copyrighted material may be against the law.
1. A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause moisture condensation to form inside the camcorder.
For Example:
- When you take the camcorder from a cold place to a warm place (e.g. from outside to inside during winter.)
- When you take the camcorder from a cool place to a hot place (e.g. from inside to outside during the summer.)
2. When the (DEW) protection feature is activated, leave the camcorder in a dry, warm room with the cassette
compartment opened and the battery removed, for at least two hours.
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, saltwater, and any other form of moisture. If the camcorder gets wet, it may be
damaged.
A malfunction due to exposure to liquids cannot always be repaired.

Notes Regarding the Battery Pack
Notes Regarding Video Head Cleaning
- 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 device is in CAMCORDER mode with a tape installed, and it is left in
STBY mode without being operated for more than 5 minutes it will automatically
turn itself off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.
- Make sure that the battery pack fits firmly into place.
Dropping the battery pack may damage it.
- A brand new battery pack will not be 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 when recording for
long periods, because the LCD uses up more battery power.
- 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.
* When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.
The batteries need to be dealt with as chemical waste.

Notes and Safety Instructions

- Do not film with the camera lens pointing directly at the sun.
Direct sunlight can damage the CCD(Charge Coupled Device).
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 the viewfinder.
3. Over-rotating of the viewfinder may damage it.
1. The LCD display has been manufactured using high-precision tech-
nology. However, there may be tiny dots (red, blue or green in color)
that appear on the LCD display.
These dots are normal and do not affect the recorded picture in any
way.
2. When you use the LCD display 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.
- 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.

Precautions Regarding the Lithium battery
1. The lithium battery maintains the clock function and user settings; even if 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.
3. When the lithium battery becomes weak or dead, the date/time indicator will flash for about five seconds when you set the
power switch to RECORD.
When this occurs, replace the lithium battery with a new one(type CR2025 ).

Features
•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.
•Unique Style & Free Style Shooting
An integrated digital imaging device that easily converts between a CAMCORDER and a CAMERA by using a revolving
Lens Body Block which ensures comfortable recording.
•High Resolution Image Quality (Digital Still Camera)
Employing a 4.13 Mega Pixels CCD, a maximum resolution of 2272 X 1704 is realized.
•Digital Zoom
Allows you to magnify an image up to 800X (CAMCORDER mode) or 6X (CAMERA mode) its original size.
•Color TFT LCD
A high-resolution color TFT LCD gives you clean, sharp images as well as the ability to review your recordings immediately.
•Electronic Image Stabilizer (EIS)
The EIS compensates for any shaking that occurs when the camera is handheld, reducing unstable images particularly at
high magnification.
•Various Digital Effects
The DSE (Digital Special Effects) function allows you to give your films a special look by adding various special effects.
•Back Light Compensation (BLC)
The BLC function compensates for a bright background behind the subject you're recording.
•Program AE
The Program AE enables you to alter the shutter speed and aperture to suit the type of scene/action to be filmed.
•NITE PIX / NITE SCENE
The NITE PIX function enables you to record a subject in a dark place.
•USB Interface for Digital Image Data Transfer
You can transfer still images to a PC using the USB interface without an add-on card.

Table of Continuous Recording Time Based on Model and Battery Type.
✤If you close the LCD screen, it switches off and the viewfinder switches on automatically.
✤The continuous recording times given in the table above are approximations.
Actual recording time depends on usage.
Notes
■
The battery pack should be recharged in an environment 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, apply pressure to, or heat the Battery Pack.
■
Do not allow the + and - terminals of the battery pack to be short-circuited.
It may cause leakage, heat generation, induce fire or 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 device 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 temperature and environmental 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 temperature and environmental conditions may differ from this 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.
