SOME DO’S AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE  
OF EQUIPMENT  
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards  
but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and  
safety is to be assured.  
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.  
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections  
between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruc-  
tions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.  
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equip-  
ment.  
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.  
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is  
damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.  
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.  
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed  
for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and  
make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for  
infirm or handicapped people.  
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements  
of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.  
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.  
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating  
will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.  
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit  
the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.  
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.  
ABOVE ALL  
— NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case  
— this could result in a fatal electrical shock;  
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!

Four high-quality still image shooting modes Using the SmartMedia™ card* increases  
photo capacity  
1. 6M Pro-Still (Pixel Shift Mode) (੬ pg. 46)  
This unit is compatible with SmartMedia™ cards*,  
which can be used to increase the number of  
pictures that can be taken.  
* “SmartMedia™ card” (which is described as  
“Memory card” in this instruction manual) is a  
trademark of Toshiba Corporation.  
This mode collects twice as much image data by  
using two exposures (with the CCD shifted one  
pixel for the second exposure), resulting in an  
image consisting of 6 million pixels, or twice as  
many in normal mode.  
Before taking important photos  
2. DR Pro-Still (Wide Range Mode) (੬ pg. 47)  
● When you need to take an important photo,  
always take a test photo first and confirm that the  
camera is operating normally.  
This mode uses two exposures, one with the  
exposure adjusted for the dark portions of the  
image, and one with the exposure adjusted for the  
bright portions of the image. By using the image  
data from both exposures, it is possible to achieve a  
wide dynamic range that was previously impossible.  
This mode avoids pictures where part of the image  
is blacked out or whited out, which occurs easily  
with conventional digital cameras.  
● Memory card is not installed when this unit is  
purchased. Be sure to install a Memory card  
before taking photos.  
● Before shooting, always confirm how much  
memory is remaining from the memory card.  
● We cannot bear any responsibility for an inability  
to shoot, record, or playback material normally in  
the event of a problem with a digital video  
camera, Memory card, etc.  
3. NR Pro-Still (Noise Reduction Mode) (੬ pg. 48)  
This mode uses several exposures to collect a large  
amount of image information, then extracts the  
signal components and eliminates the noise  
components. This mode eliminates electronic noise,  
which occurs easily with conventional digital  
cameras.  
● Store backups of important photos on a personal  
computer, etc. We cannot bear any responsibility  
for pictures stored in memory that are lost or  
altered.  
Copyrights  
4. Shooting Film (Film Copy Mode) (੬ pg. 50)  
You may only use material that you photograph or  
record with this digital camera for your own  
personal use, and not in any way that infringes on  
the copyrights of a third party. (Note that some  
performances and exhibits have restrictions against  
photography, even if only for your personal use.)  
This mode allows you to copy photos of images  
from developed 35 mm film with the provided film  
copying adapter. You can print them with special  
effects or a calendar with the optional printer.  
Video Shooting  
This feature is useful, if you want to send a short  
video by e-mail.  
Collage shooting  
This feature allows you to combine a subject with a  
previously photographed background with a simple  
operation.

BASIC OPERATION  
Shutter Button

EN  
Viewfinder  
This camera is equipped with an optical viewfinder.  
Not pressed  
Half-press  
Normal Shooting  
To focus, point the camera so that the subject  
appears within the finder, and then press the shutter  
button.  
Full-press  
Macro Shooting  
When shooting close-up, make sure  
the subject being photographed is  
within the frame inside the finder  
(indicated with diagonal lines).  
NOTES:  
The camera’s Shutter button is a two-step button.  
Pressing it halfway (to the first step) causes the  
photo standby lamp (green) to flash while the  
camera focuses automatically.  
Once the camera is focused, the photo standby  
lamp (green) lights steadily. Pressing the Shutter  
button halfway (to the first step) is called a “half-  
press.“ Pressing the button from the half-press  
position to the full-press position causes the camera  
to take a picture.  
● In close-up (macro) shooting, the area that is  
actually photographed will be slightly below the  
area that can be seen in the viewfinder. The closer  
the camera is the subject, the greater that this  
displacement is.  
● It is recommended that you view the subject with  
the LCD screen for an important shot.  
NOTES:  
● Suddenly pressing the Shutter button with your  
finger or pressing too strongly can result in a  
picture that is at an angle or which is blurry.  
Press the button smoothly from the half-press  
position to the full-press position when taking  
pictures.  
● If you have pressed the Shutter button halfway  
and then release it, the camera will perform the  
autofocus operation again the next time that you  
press the Shutter button halfway.  
● If you press the Shutter button all the way instead  
of halfway, a picture can be taken after focusing  
automatically.

Good Photography Posture  
With your left hand firmly supporting the camera to  
the left of and below the lens, support the camera  
body with your right hand.  
Use your left hand to hold  
the camera also.  
Next, look for your subject and determine the  
camera position.  
You can change the angle of the subject and the  
background by changing the direction in which you  
point the camera.  
Hold your arms firmly  
against your body.  
You then frame the shot by using the zoom  
function, etc., to enlarge or reduce the subject to  
the desired size within the shot.  
Spread your legs apart  
slightly and adopt a firm  
stance.  
Mounting the Camera on a Tripod  
Align the screw hole on the bottom of the  
1
camera with the screw on the tripod.  
Turn the screw on the tripod to secure the  
2 camera in place.  
•Adjust the screw and the length of the legs so  
that the camera does not wobble at all.  
Stud  
NOTE:  
● Use only tripods not equipped with a stud that  
prevents the camera from rotating.  
Using a Tripod  
We recommend use of a tripod in the circumstances described below in order to avoid problems caused by  
shaky hands.  
We especially recommend the use of a tripod when using pixel shift mode, wide range mode, or noise  
reduction mode.  
• Low shots  
Because it is difficult to assume a steady posture for a low shot, the shot will frequently be on a slant or  
blurred by shaky hands.  
• Dark locations  
When shooting in a location that prohibits the use of a flash (such as in a museum), the shutter speed is  
reduced, which increases the likelihood of problems caused by shaky hands.  
• Shooting a distant object through the telephoto feature  
Because the telephoto feature makes a small, distant space appear larger, even the slightest movement of  
the camera can cause blurring.  
• Shooting an extreme closeup  
Because a nearby object appears very large when shot in a closeup, the slightest movement in your body  
or hand can result in a blurred image.

liquid into a glass will cause drops of water to  
form on the glass’ outer surface. This same  
phenomenon occurs on the lens of the  
camera when it is moved from a cool place to  
a warm place, after heating a cold room,  
under extremely humid conditions or in a  
place directly subjected to the cool air from  
an air conditioner.  
To store the date/time in memory, a rechargeable  
battery is integrated in the camera. As long as the  
camera is connected to an AC outlet using the AC  
power adapter, or the batteries installed in the  
camera continue to supply power to the camera, the  
built-in battery is always charged. However, if the  
camera is not used for approx. 3 months, the built-  
in battery will become discharged and the date/time  
stored in memory will be lost. When this occurs,  
connect the camera to an AC outlet using the AC  
power adapter for over 24 hours to charge the built-  
in rechargeable battery. Before using the camera  
again, set the date/time.  
Serious malfunctioning  
If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit  
immediately and consult your local JVC dealer.  
Note that it is possible to use the camera without  
setting the date/time.

DO NOT . . .  
.... push it strongly or apply any shocks.  
.... place the camcorder with the LCD monitor  
on the bottom.  
2. To prolong service life . . .

3. Be aware of the following phenomena for  
LCD monitor use. These are not malfunc-  
tions . . .  
•While using the camera, the surface around the  
LCD monitor and/or the back of the LCD monitor  
may heat up.  
•If you leave power on for a long time, the surface  
around the LCD monitor becomes hot.  
How To Handle A CD-ROM  
•Take care not to soil or scratch the mirror surface  
(opposite to the printed surface). Do not write  
anything or put a sticker on either the front or  
back surface. If the CD-ROM gets dirty, gently  
wipe it with a soft cloth outward from the centre  
hole using a circular motion.  
•Do not use conventional disc cleaners or cleaning  
spray.  
•Do not bend the CD-ROM or touch its mirror  
surface.  
•Do not store your CD-ROM in a dusty, hot or  
humid environment. Keep it away from direct  
sunlight.
