Getting to Know Your Camcorder

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. (VP-D30/D31/D33/D34/D39 is not able to receive
digital data from another DV Device)

USB interface for digital image data transfer
(VP-D31(i)/D33(i)/D34(i)/D39(i) only)
You can transfer images 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.

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.

NIGHT CAPTURE
The NIGHT CAPTURE function enables you to record a subject in a dark
place.

Digital Still Camera function (VP-D33(i)/D34(i)/D39(i) only)
■ Using Memory Stick, you can easily record and playback standard still images.
■ You can transfer standard still images on the Memory Stick to your PC using

the USB interface.

MPEG Recording (VP-D33(i)/D34(i)/D39(i) only)
Digital Image Stabilizer (DIS)

MPEG recording makes it possible to record video onto a Memory Stick.

The DIS compensates for any handshake, reducing unstable images
particularly at high magnification.

Notes and Safety Instructions
Notices regarding COPYRIGHT (VP-D30i/D31i/D33i/D34i/D39i only)
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 condensation to form inside the
camcorder.
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. 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.
Sometimes a malfunction due to exposure to liquids cannot be repaired.
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 fitted firmly into 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 a long
recordings, because the LCD uses up more battery power.

Notes regarding the battery pack
* 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
- 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.
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 from the viewfinder.
3. Over pulling of the viewfinder may damage it.
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.
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.

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.
