Specifications 129 INDEX 130 Warranty 132 ENGLISH Start Precautions on Camcorder Care ✤ Please note the following precautions for use: ✤ Please keep your device in a safe place. This device contains a lens that can be damaged by shock. Keep away from the reach 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. ENGLISH Start Quick Start ✤ This device provides a variety of functions because it is a Camcorder and Digital Still Camera in one system. Please read this manual thoroughly. ✤ Before using the device, install the accessories in the following order: 1. Install the battery pack. 2. Insert the Memory Stick into the slot. 3. Charge the battery pack by connecting the power cable to the camcorder. 4. Set your device to CAMCORDER mode or CAMERA mode by flipping the lens body block. 5. While in CAMCORDER mode, remove the Lens CAP. 6. Set the Power Switch to proposed position. PL 7. When finished, set the Power Switch to OFF. RECORD S.SHOW BLC M.PLAY OFF RE DELETE REV RY PE MO TA ME FADE FWD RECORD M.PLAY ENGLISH Notes and Safety Instructions Notes Regarding the Rotation of the LCD Screen Please rotate the LCD screen carefully as illustrated. Over rotation may cause damage to the inside of the hinge that connects the LCD screen to the Camcorder. 10 1. LCD screen closed. 2. Standard recording using the LCD screen. 3. Recording when looking at the LCD screen from the left. 4. Recording when looking at the LCD screen from the front. 5. Recording with the LCD screen closed. ENGLISH Notes and Safety Instructions Notices Regarding COPYRIGHT 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 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. Notes Regarding the 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, 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. 11 ENGLISH 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 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. * 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 Regarding 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. 12 ENGLISH 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 the viewfinder. 3. Over-rotating of the viewfinder may damage it. Notes Regarding ‘Record’ or ‘Playback’ Using the LCD 1. The LCD display has been manufactured using high-precision technology. 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. 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. 13 ENGLISH Notes and Safety Instructions 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 ). 14 ENGLISH Getting to Know Your Device 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. 15 ENGLISH Getting to Know Your Device Accessories Supplied with the Camcorder Make sure that the following basic accessories are supplied with your digital video camera. 1.
