3 1/2 inch (8cm) DVD Disc Camcorder
DVD-VIDEO recording with 3 1/2 inch (8cm) DVD-RW/-R/-R DL (Dual Layer) discs. This compatibility with a variety of
disc types allows the ease-of-use and simplicity found in DVD media.
DVD Format Video Recording
The DVD recording format in MPEG2 (SD) delivers digital picture and sound quality comparable to that of MiniDV, but
on DVD. Playback of these DVDs couldn’t be simpler (depending upon the playback device used). After finalizing the
disc in the camcorder, the disc is playable in most DVD players (Standard Definition) and computers.
2.7” Wide (16:9) LCD Screen (112K pixels)
The 2.7” wide (16:9) LCD screen provides excellent viewing clarity with
improved resolution. The 112K pixels LCD screen rotates up to 270
degrees for multiple viewing angles providing sharp, detailed images for
monitoring or playback, and the widescreen format makes shooting in
16:9 mode and composing shots even easier.

Capture visions farther than the eye can see
; 34x optical power zoom, 42x intelli-zoom and 2200x digital zoom.
Samsung’s powerful zoom lenses bring the world closer without sacrificing
image quality. In addition, digital zoom interpolation means that extreme
digital zooming is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital
zooms.
Advanced Noise Reduction & Hyper Digital Image Stabilizer
Featuring Samsung’s 3D noise reduction technology, this camcorder can remove video noise while preserving the
edge and pattern of the original image. Also, its powerful anti-shake image stabilization technology works to nullify
even small hand movements to realize a clear recording.

quick start guide
This quick start guide introduces the basic operation and features of your camcorder.
See the reference pages for more information.

RECORDING VIDEOS ON A DVD DISC
YOU CAN RECORD VIDEOS ON A DVD DISC.
Videos are recorded in MPEG2 format and are suitable for viewing on most DVD players or computers with DVD drives.

STEP1: Selecting a suitable DVD disc
Your camcorder uses only the following three types of 3 1/2 inch (8cm) mini DVD discs; DVD-R, DVD-R DL,
and DVD-RW. See below to select the disc that best suits your needs.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE DVD DISCS
 DVD-R: Best for Compatibility, but you CANNOT edit or delete recordings.
 DVD-R DL: Best for Long Recordings, but you CANNOT edit or delete recordings.
 DVD-RW: Best for Reusability and you CAN edit or delete recordings.
Recording formats for DVD-RW disc
DVD-RW discs features two recording formats: Video (Video mode) and VR (VR mode).
When you first insert a brand new DVD-RW disc, the camcorder will automatically display
the initialization screen where you can select the recording format for the disc.
- Video mode : Once finalized, you can play the disc recorded in this mode on most
DVD players/recorders/drives, offering the best compatibility. However,
recordings cannot be edited.
- VR mode:
You can easily edit and delete recordings on the camcorder, but playback
is possible only on a DVD recorder compatible with DVD-RWs in VR mode.

DVD-R and DVD-R DL discs can be recorded in VIDEO mode only.

About battery packs
• The battery pack should be recharged in an environment that is between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C).
However, when it is exposed to cold temperatures (below 32°F (0°C)), its usage time becomes reduced and it
may cease to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a
short time, then re-insert it to the DVD camcorder.
• Do not put the battery pack near any heat source (i.e. fire or a heater).
• Do not disassemble, apply pressure to, or heat the battery pack.
• Do not allow battery pack terminals to be short-circuited. It may cause leakage, heat generation, induce
overheating or fire.
Maintaining the battery pack
• The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental conditions.
• The recording time shortens dramatically in a cold environment. The continuous recording times in the user
manual are measured using a fully charged battery pack at 77°F (25°C). As the environmental temperature and
conditions vary, the remaining battery time may differ from the approximate continuous recording times given in
the instructions.
• We recommend only using the original battery pack that is available from your Samsung retailer. When the battery
reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer. The batteries have to be treated as chemical waste.
• Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.
• When fully discharged, a battery pack damages the internal cells. The battery pack may be prone to leakage
when fully discharged.
• Remove the battery from the camcorder when it is not in use. Even when the power is switched off, the battery
pack will still discharge if it is left attached to the DVD camcorder.
• If there is no operation for 3 minutes in STBY mode or thumbnail view, the LCD screen will turn off automatically
(sleep mode) for power saving purposes. If no operation continues for another 3 minutes, the camcorder will
power off completely. Any operation during the sleep mode will return the camcorder to the previous mode. This
function works only if “Auto Power Off” is set to “6 Min.”page 96
• Make sure that the battery pack fits firmly into place. Do not drop the battery pack as it may cause damage.
About the battery life
Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use.
If decreased usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace it with a new one.
Each battery’s life is affected by storage, operating and environmental conditions.

The time above is based on Fine/TV Fine mode. It may differ depending on the selected quality/resolution.
The time is only for reference. Figures shown above are measured under Samsung’s test environment, and may
differ from your actual use.
- The charging time will vary depending on the remaining battery level.
- The above figures are based on the model SC-DX205.
- We recommend using the AC power adaptor when using the Time Lapse REC function.
Continuous recording time (without zoom)
The times shown in the table reflect the available recording time when the DVD camcorder is in the recording mode
without using any other functions. In actual recording, the battery pack may discharge 2-3 times faster than this
reference since the record start/stop and zoom are being operated, and playback is performed. Assume that the
recordable time with a fully charged battery pack is between 1/2 and 1/3 of the time in the table, so prepare enough
battery packs to allow for the time you are planning to record on the DVD camcorder.
Note that the battery pack discharges faster in a cold environment.

24_ English

Using the DVD camcorder with the AC power adaptor
It is recommended that you use the AC power adaptor to power the DVD camcorder from a household AC outlet
when you perform settings on it, finalize a disc, play back, or edit images, or use it indoors. page 22
• Be sure to use the provided AC power adaptor to power the DVD camcorder. Using other AC power
adaptors could cause electric shock or result in fire.
• The AC power adaptor can be used around the world. An AC plug adaptor is required in some foreign
countries. If you need one, purchase it at your local Samsung dealer.
CAUTION

• Before detaching the power source, make sure that the DVD camcorder’s power is turned off.
Failure to do so can result in DVD camcorder malfunction.
• Use a nearby wall outlet when using the AC power adaptor. Disconnect the AC power adaptor from the wall
outlet immediately if any malfunction occurs while using your DVD camcorder.
• Do not use the AC power adaptor in a narrow space, such as between a wall and furniture.

On charging the built-in rechargeable battery
The built-in rechargeable battery on your camcorder retains initial settings (ex. date and time) after power is
turned off. It is automatically charged while the camcorder is turned on.
• The built-in battery is fully discharged if you do not use the camcorder at all for an extended time without
turning on the power. In this case, you will lose previous date/time settings, so you need to set the date/time
again.
• The longer the built-in battery is used, the less its available capacity.
• When the built-in battery is completely discharged, contact your local Samsung service center.

SELECTING A SUITABLE MEMORY CARD
A memory card is a compact portable storage media.
•
•
•
•

You can use SDHC and SD cards. (If needed, buy a memory card separately.)
- You can also use a SD memory card, but we recommend that you use a SDHC card with your camcorder.
(SD cards over 2GB are not compatible with this camcorder.)
On this camcorder, you can use memory cards (SDHC) of the following capacity: 512MB ~ 16GB
Compatible recording media
- The following recording media have been guaranteed to work with this camcorder. Others are not guaranteed to work,
so buy such products with caution.
SDHC or SD memory cards: By Panasonic and Toshiba.
If other media are used, they may fail to record data correctly, or they may lose data that has already been recorded. For
video recording, use a memory card that supports faster write speed (at least 2MB/sec).

SD memory card
•

SD memory cards have a mechanical write-protection switch. Setting the switch prevents
accidental erasure of files recorded on the card. To enable writing, move the switch up in
the direction of terminals. To set write protection, move the switch down.

SDHC memory card

•
•
•
•

SDHC memory cards comply with the new SD specification Ver.2.00.
This latest specification was established by the SD Card Association to realize data capacity
over 2GB.
SDHC memory cards have a mechanical write protection switch. Setting the switch prevents
accidental erasure of files recorded on the SDHC memory card. To enable writing, move the
switch up in the direction of terminals. To set write protection, move the switch down.
Due to a change In File Allocation System and physical specifications, SDHC memory cards
can not be used with current SD enabled host devices. SDHC memory cards can be used
with only SDHC enabled host devices which carry the SDHC logo.

Terminals

Protection tab

Common cautions for memory cards
•
•
•

Damaged data may not be recovered. It is recommended you back-up important recordings separately on your computer’s hard
disk.
Turning the power off or removing a memory card during operation such as formatting, deleting, recording, and playback may
cause data loss.
After you modify the name of a file or folder stored in the memory card using your computer, your camcorder may not recognize
the modified file.

English _61

card mode:recording/playback(SC-DX205 only)
Handling a memory card
• It is recommended that you switch off before inserting or removing the memory card to avoid data loss.
• It is not guaranteed that you can use a memory card formatted by other devices. Be sure to format your memory
card using this camcorder.
• Memory cards need to be formatted on this camcorder before use.
• If you cannot use a memory card that has been previously used with another device, format it on your DVD
camcorder. Note that formatting erases all information on the memory card.
• A memory card has a certain life span. If you cannot record new data, you have to purchase a new memory card.
• Do not bend, drop, or cause a strong impact to your memory card.
• Do not use or store in a place with high temperature, humidity or dust.
• Do not place foreign substances on the memory card terminals. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the terminals if required.
• Do not put any additional labels on the memory card.
• Be careful to keep the memory card out of the reach of children who might swallow it.
Note on use
• Samsung is not responsible for data loss due to misuse.
• We recommend using a memory card case to avoid losing data from moving and static electricity.
• After a period of use, the memory card may become warm. This is normal, not a malfunction.
• Photo image files recorded on a memory card by your DVD camcorder conform to the “DCF (Design rule for
Camera File system)” universal standard established by the JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association).
• DCF is an integrated image-file format for digital cameras: image files can be used on all digital devices conforming
to DCF.
The DVD camcorder supports SD and SDHC memory cards for data storage.
The data storage speed may differ, according to the manufacturer and production system.
- SLC (single-level cell) system: faster write speed is enabled.
- MLC (multi-level cell) system: only lower write speed is supported.
For best results, we recommend using a memory card that supports faster write speed.
Using a lower write speed memory card for recording a video may cause difficulties with storing the video on the
memory card. You may even lose your video data during the recording.
In an attempt to preserve any bit of the recorded video, the DVD camcorder forcibly stores the video on the
memory card and displays a warning: “Low speed card. Please record a lower Resolution.”

The times shown above are measured using Samsung’s standard recording test conditions and may differ depending on
how you use this camcorder.
Your camcorder provides four resolution options for video recordings;(From high to low: “TV Super Fine,” “TV Fine,” “TV
Normal,” “Web&Mobile”). The higher the resolution setting, the more memory is used.
The compression rate increases while lowering the resolution (in the order of “TV Super Fine,” “TV Fine,” “TV Normal,”
“Web & Mobile”). The higher the compression rate is, the longer the recording time, however the picture quality/resolution
is lower.
The compression rate automatically adjusts to the recording image, and the recording time may vary accordingly.
You can use a SDHC or SD memory card on your camcorder. Some cards may not compatible depending on the
memory card manufacturer and memory card type.
Proper operation is not guaranteed for those memory cards that are not formatted on this camcorder.
To facilitate the video recording,we recommend using a memory card that supports faster write speed. (Write speed: 2MB/
sec or higher) If you use a low write-speed memory card, recording may stop with a message of “Low speed card. Please
record a lower Resolution.”
Up to 16GB memory cards can be used for recording / playback.
Memory cards bigger than 16GB may not work properly.
Using a memory card to store video can cause unwritable area, which may result in reduced recording time and free
memory space.
The maximum size of a video clip (H.264/AVC) that can be recorded at one time is 1.8GB.
You can store up to 9999 videos (or photos) on one memory card using this camcorder.
Videos (or photos) recorded by other equipment are not playable on this camcorder.

Time Lapse Recording mode is released once recording has been finished. To start another Time Lapse Recording, repeat
steps 1~7.
A recording of 30 contiguous images comprises a video clip of 1 second length. Since the minimum length of a video to be
saved by your camcorder is one second, Interval defines how long the Time Lapse REC should be taken.
For example, if you set the interval to “30 Sec,” Time Lapse REC (time-lapse recording) should be taken for at least 15
minutes to record a minimum movie length of 1 second (30 images).
Once the Time Lapse Recording finishes recording for its total recording time, it switches to the standby mode.
Press the Recording start/stop button if you want to stop the Time Lapse Recording.
The Time Lapse Recording does not support the sound input. (mute recording)
When a video recording fills up 1.8GB of storage memory, a new recording file is automatically started at that point.
When the battery is exhausted during Time Lapse Recording, it saves recording up to the point and switches to standby
mode. After a while, it displays a warning message of exhausted battery, and then turns off automatically.
When memory runs out while performing Time Lapse Recording, the camcorder switches to the standby mode after saving
what was recording so far.
We recommend using the AC power adaptor during the Time Lapse Recording.

Structure of folders and files on the storage media
• The folder and file structure for the memory card is as follows:
• Do not arbitrarily change or remove the folder or file name. It may not be playable.
• The file naming follows DCF (Design rule for Camera File System).
Video files (H.264) 1
The SD-quality videos are named as “SDV_####.MP4” and Web videos are
named as “WEB_####.MP4”. The file number automatically increases when
a new video file is created. Up to 9999 files are created in one folder. A new
folder is created when more than 9999th files are created.
Photo files 2
As in video files, the file number automatically increases when a new image
file is created. The maximum file number allowed is the same as in video files.
A new folder stores files from CAM_0001.JPG. The folder name increases in
the order of 100PHOTO  101PHOTO etc. Up to 9999 files are created in
one folder. A new folder is created when more than 9999th files are created.

Image format
Videos on a memory card
• Images are compressed in H.264/AVC (MPEG4 part 10/Advanced Video Coding). The file extension is “.MP4”
• The picture size is 720X480 (60i) or 640x480 (based on Web & Mobile resolution).
Photos on a memory card
• Photo images are compressed in JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format. The file extension is “.JPG.”
• The image size is 800x600 (SC-DX205 only).
• When the 9999th file is created in the 999th folder (i.e. SDV_9999.MP4 is created in the 999 VIDEO folder),
a new folder cannot be created anymore. Backup your files to a PC and format the storage media, and then
reset file numbering from the menu.
• We don’t recommend you to modify the name of a file/folder stored in the storage media using a computer.
If you modify it, this camcorder may not recognise modified files.
• You can use your camcorder as a mass storage device. So you can store general data in the storage
media(memory card) with your camcorder.

then remove the battery pack and store it in a cool and dry place again.
The supplied battery pack is a lithium-ion battery. Before using the supplied battery pack or an optional battery pack,
be sure to read the following cautions:
• To avoid hazards
-

Do not burn.
Do not short-circuit the terminals. When transporting, carry the battery in a plastic bag.
Do not modify or disassemble.
Do not expose the battery to temperatures exceeding 140°F (60°C), as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or
catch fire.

• To prevent damage and prolong service life
-

Do not subject to unnecessary shock.
Charge in an environment where temperatures are within the tolerances shown as below.
This is a chemical reaction-type battery - cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures can
prevent complete charging.
Store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to high temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten service life.
Remove from charger or powered unit when not in use, as some machines use electric current even when switched off.

•
•

It is recommended that only genuine Samsung batteries are used in this camcorder. Using generic non-Samsung batteries
can cause damage to the internal charging circuitry.
It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or after use.
Temperature range specifications
Charging: 50°F to 95°F (10°C to 35°C)
Operation: 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C)
Storage: -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°C)
The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes.
Refer to pages 20~24 for details.

When there is dew condensation, put the camcorder aside for a while before using.
• What is dew condensation?
CAUTION
Dew condensation happens when a DVD camcorder is moved to a place where there is a significant
temperature difference from the previous place. The dew condenses on the external or internal lenses of the
DVD camcorder and on the reflection lens and the surface of the disc which are related to playback. When
this happens, you temporarily may not use the record or play functions of the DVD camcorder. Also, using
the camcorder while there is condensation may cause malfunction or damage.
• What can I do?
Turn the power off and detach the battery pack, and leave it in a dry area for 1~2 hours before using it.
• When does the dew condensation occur?
When the device is relocated to a place with a higher temperature than the previous location, or when using
it in a hot area suddenly, it will cause condensation.
- When recording outside in cold weather during the winter and then using it in indoors.
- When recording outside in hot weather after being indoors or inside a car where the AC was running.
Note before sending your camcorder for repair.
• If these instructions do not solve your problem, contact your nearest Samsung authorized service center.
• Depending on the problem, the internal memory may need to be initialized or replaced and the data will be
deleted.
Be sure to back up the data on your computer before sending your camcorder to repair.
