LCD ENGLISH Notes and Safety Instructions Notices regarding COPYRIGHT (VP-D93i/D97i/D99i only) VP-D93i/D97i/D99i Television programs, video tapes, DVD titles, films, and other program materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized copying of copyrighted material may be against the law. DVD Notes regarding moisture condensation 1. A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause condensation to form inside the camcorder. 1. 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. DEW 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. Faults caused by ingress of fluids may not be possible to repair. 1. 60°C 140°F 2. 7 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 camcorder is in CAM 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 when making long recordings, because the LCD 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. - - * Notes regarding the Video Head Cleaning - - 8 CAM STBY 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. - 5 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). 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 using the viewfinder. 3. Excessive force when pulling the viewfinder out may damage it. 1. 2. 3. Notes regarding ‘Record’ or ‘Playback’ using the LCD 1. The LCD display 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 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. Record Playback 1. 2. 3. 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. - 9 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. 1. 2. The lithium battery for the camcorder lasts about 6 months under normal operation from time of installation. 2. 3. When the lithium battery becomes weak or dead, the date/time indicator will display “---” when you set the DATE/TIME to ON. In this case, replace the lithium battery with a new one (type CR2025). 3. Warning: 10 Keep the LITHIUM BATTERY out of reach of children. Should a battery be swallowed, consult a doctor immediately. / --CR 2025 4. 4. There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type. 6 ENGLISH Getting to Know Your Camcorder Features • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Digital data transfer function with IEEE1394 By incorporating the IEEE 1394 (i.LINK™ : i.LINK is a serial data transfer protocol and inter connectivity 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. (VP-D93/D97/D99 is not able to receive digital data from another DV Device) USB interface for digital image data transfer You can transfer still images/movies to a PC using the USB interface without an add-on card. PHOTO The PHOTO function lets you capture an object as a still along with sound, while in Camera mode. 800x Digital zoom Allows you to magnify an image up to 800 times its original size. Colour TFT LCD A high-resolution colour 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 handshake, reducing unstable images particularly at high magnification. Various digital effects The DSE (Digital Special Effects) allows you to give your films a special look by adding various special effects. Back Light Compensation (BLC) The BLC function compensates for the bright background behind a 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. Digital Still Camera function Using Memory Stick, you can easily record and playback standard still images. MJPEG Recording MJPEG recording makes it possible to record video onto a Memory Stick. Mega-pixel CCD Your camcorder incorporates a 1.33mega-pixel CCD. High-resolution still images can be recorded to a Memory Stick.
