IMPORTANT NOTE

Handle the liquid crystal display (LCD) with care:

The LCD is a very delicate display device: Do not press its surface with force, hit it or prick it with a sharp object.

If you push the LCD surface, unevenness in display may occur. If unevenness does not disappear, turn the camcorder off, wait for a few moments, and then turn it on again.

Do not place the camcorder with the open LCD screen down.

Close the LCD screen when not using the camcorder.

Liquid crystal display :

The LCD screen of this product uses high precision technology. Among the total number of pixels (approx.

230,000 pixels for LCD screen), 0.01% or less pixels may be missing (black dots) or may remain lit as colored dots (red, blue, green). This shows the limitations of the current technology, and does not indicate a fault that will interfere with recording.

The LCD screen will be slightly dimmer than usual when the camcorder is at low temperature, as in cold areas, or immediately after power is turned on. Normal brightness will be restored when the temperature inside the camcorder rises. This has no effect on the images in the storage media, so there is no cause for concern.

Hold the HD camcorder correctly:

Do not hold the HD camcorder by the LCD screen when lifting it: the LCD screen could detach and the HD camcorder may fall.

Do not subject the HD camcorder to impact:

This HD camcorder is a precision machine. Take great care that you do not strike it against a hard object or let it fall.

Do not use the HD camcorder on a tripod (not supplied) in a place where it is subject to severe vibration or impact.

No sand or dust!

Fine sand or dust entering the HD camcorder or AC power adaptor could cause malfunctions or defects.

No water or oil!

Water or oil entering the HD camcorder or AC power adaptor could cause electric shock, malfunctions or defects.

Heat on surface of product:

The surface of the HD camcorder will be slightly warm when in use, but this does not indicate a fault.

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.

3. Slide and close the memory card cover.

Ejecting a memory card

1. Slide and open the memory card cover.

2. Slightly push the memory card inwards to pop it out.

3. Pull the memory card out of the slot and slide and close the memory card cover

The HD camcorder supports SDHC and MMCplus 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 enabled.

,, MLC (multi level cell) system: only lower write speed 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 movie may cause difficulties with storing the movie on the memory card. You may even lose your movie data during the recording.

In an attempt to preserve any bit of the recorded movie, the HD camcorder forcibly stores the movie on the memory card and displays a warning: "Low Speed Card. Please record a Lower quality"

If you are unavoidably using a low speed memory card, lower the recording quality by one level "[HD] Fine," "[HD]

Normal."

You have five quality options to record a movie with the HD camcorder : "[HD] Super Fine," "[HD]Fine," "[HD]

Normal," "[SD] Standard," and "[SD] Economy."

However, the higher the quality, the more memory that will be used.

SELECTING A SUITABLE MEMORY CARD

You can use a SDHC memory card and MMCplus cards.

You can also use a SD memory card, but we recommended that you use a SDHC memory card and

MMCplus with your HD camcorder. (SD card supports upto 2GB.)

MultiMediaCards (MMC) are not supported.

o On this HD camcorder, you can use memory cards of the following capacity: 128MB ~ 32GB.

Compatible recording media

The following recording media have been guaranteed to work with this HD camcorder. Others are not guaranteed to work, so buy such products with caution.

SDHC or SD memory cards: By Panasonic, SanDisk, and TOSHIBA.

MMCplus: By Transcend.

If other media are used, they may fail to record data correctly, or they may lose data that has already been recorded.

For movie recording, use a memory card that supports faster write speeds (at least 2MB/s).

SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) memory card o SDHC memory card complies with the new SD specification Ver.2.00. This latest specification was established by the SD Card Association to realize data capacity over 2GB.

The SDHC memory card supports 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 the terminals. To set write protection, move the switch down.

SDHC memory cards can not be used with current SD enabled host devices.

MMCplus (Multi Media Card plus) o MMCplus cards have no protection tab. Use the protect function in the menu.

Common cautions for memory cards

,, Damaged data may not be recovered. It is recommended you back up important recordings separately on your

PC's hard disk.

,, After you modify the name of a file or folder stored in the memory card using your PC, your camcorder may not recognize the modified file.

Handling a memory card o It is recommended that you power 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 HD 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 that has high temperature and humidity or a dusty environment.

,, Do not place foreign substances ors 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 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 get warm. This is normal and is not a malfunction.
