About Batteries

DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries

apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as

there is a risk of fire or explosion.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not point the lens or the viewfinder directly into

the sun. This can cause eye injuries, as well as lead

to the malfunctioning of internal circuitry. There is

also a risk of fire or electric shock.

WARNING! Do not allow the battery terminals, or

the battery itself, to come in contact with metals, as

this can result in a short circuit and possibly start a

fire.

•When transporting, make sure the provided

battery cap is attached to the battery. If you

misplace the battery cap, carry the battery in a

plastic bag.

CAUTION! The following notes concern possible

physical damage to the camcorder and to the user.

When carrying, be sure to always attach and use

the provided hand strap. Hold the camcorder firmly

in your hand, with the strap securely around your

wrist. Carrying or holding the camcorder by the

viewfinder can result in dropping the unit, or in a

malfunction.

Before recording an important scene . . .

..... make sure you only use cassettes with the Mini

DV mark.

..... remember that this camcorder is not compatible

with other digital video formats.

..... remember that the this camcorder is intended

for private consumer use only. Any commercial

use without proper permission is prohibited.

(Even if you record an event such as a show,

performance or exhibition for personal

enjoyment, it is strongly recommended that you

obtain permission beforehand.)

Take care not to get your finger caught in the

cassette cover. Do not let children operate the

camcorder, as they are particularly susceptible to

this type of injury.

Do not use a tripod on unsteady or unlevel surfaces.

It could tip over, causing serious damage to the

camcorder.

The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion battery packs are small but possess a

large power capacity. However, when the battery

pack becomes cool in an environment subject to

cold temperatures (below 10°C/50°F), the battery

pack has a characteristic that its usage time

becomes shorter and 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-attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery

pack itself is not cold, it should not affect perform-

ance.

CAUTION! Attaching the camcorder to the Docking

Station, connecting cables (AUDIO/VIDEO,

S-VIDEO, Editing, DC) and leaving the unit on top

of the TV is not recommended, as tripping on the

cables will cause the camcorder to fall, resulting in

damage.

(If you’re using some kind of heating pad, make

sure the battery pack does not come in direct

contact with the pad.)

Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.

Ⅲ This camcorder is designed exclusively for

the

digital video cassette. Only

cassettes marked

ABOUT DV

The digital video camera converts incoming audio and video signals into digital form for recording.

A video signal is composed of a luminance signal (Y) and colour signals (R-Y and B-Y). These signals are

identified and recorded digitally (Digital Component Recording). The A/D (Analog to Digital) converter

samples the Y signal at 13.5 MHz, and R-Y and B-Y at 6.75 MHz, and changes them to an 8-bit quantum signal.

Sound sampled at 48 kHz is changed to a 16-bit quantum signal, and sound sampled at 32 kHz is converted

to a 12-bit signal.

NOTE:

The data recorded on a tape is digital, but the output of the this camcorder is analog.

To turn the camcorder on again, set the Power Dial to “OFF”, then to “REC”. As long as you don’t take out the tape you

were using or play it back, you can continue from where you left off with no noticeable break on the recorded video.

● When a blank portion is left between recorded scenes on the tape, the time code is interrupted and errors may occur

when editing the tape. Continue recording from where you stop so there are no gaps by following "Recording from the

middle of a tape" (੬ pg. 20).

● Recored/Standby means that a tape is loaded and the camcorder is ready to record.

● During recording, sound is not heard from the speaker. If you want to hear the sound, connect optional headphones to

the headphones jack.

● The sun hood should be used when under direct sunlight.

RECORDING (Cont.)

Recording From The Middle Of A Tape

situations where a clean transition is not possible.

ENGAGE STILL MODE

4 _{Once you find the spot at which you want to}

start recording, press PLAY/PAUSE to engage

the Still mode.

Time Code

During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape. This code is to confirm the location of the

recorded scene on the tape during playback.

If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code begins counting from "00:00:00"

(minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded scene, the time code

continues from the last time code number.

To perform Snapshot Search (੬ pg. 27) and Random Assemble Editing (੬ pg. 60), time code is

necessary. If during recording a blank portion is recorded partway through the tape, the time code is

interrupted. When recording is resumed, the time code starts counting up again from "00:00:00". This

means the camcorder may record the same time codes as those existing in a previously recorded scene.

To prevent leaving a blank portion on a tape, perform the procedure in "Recording From The Middle of

A Tape" (੬ pg. 20) in the following cases;

•After playing back the recorded tape, when

total program time exactly.

● Turning off the camcorder’s power erases all

registered Edit-In and Edit-Out points.

● If you use Sepia or Monotone P.AE/Effects, you can’t

use the Dissolve or Black & White Fader. In this case

the Dissolve or Black & White indicator begins

For More Accurate Editing

Some VCRs make the transition from Record/Standby to Record mode faster than others. Even if you begin

editing for the camcorder and the VCR at exactly the same time, you may lose scenes you wanted, or find

that you’ve recorded scenes you didn’t want. For a cleanly edited tape, confirm and adjust the timing of the

camcorder against your VCR.

CAUTIONS

Battery Packs

Cassettes

To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to

read the following cautions:

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:

1. During use . . .

.... make sure the cassette bears the Mini DV

mark.

.... be aware that recording onto prerecorded

tapes automatically erases the previously

recorded video and audio signals.

.... make sure the cassette is positioned properly

when inserting.

.... do not load and unload the cassette

repeatedly without allowing the tape to run

at all. This slackens the tape and can result in

damage.

.... do not open the front tape cover. This

exposes the tape to fingerprints and dust.

Terminals

1. To avoid hazard . . .

.... do not burn.

.... do not short-circuit the terminals.

.... do not modify or disassemble.

.... do not expose the battery to temperatures

exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the

battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.

.... use only specified chargers.

2. To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .

.... do not subject to unnecessary shock.

.... charge in an environment where tempera-

tures are within the tolerances shown in the

chart below. This is a chemical reaction type

battery—cooler temperatures impede

2. Store cassettes . . .

.... away from heaters or other heat sources.

.... out of direct sunlight.

.... where they won’t be subject to unnecessary

shock or vibration.

.... where they won’t be exposed to strong

magnetic fields (such as those generated by

motors, transformers or magnets).

.... vertically, in their original cases.

chemical reaction, while warmer tempera-

tures can prevent complete charging.

.... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure

to high temperatures will increase natural

discharge and shorten service life.

.... avoid prolonged uncharged storage.

.... remove from charger or powered unit when

not in use, as some machines use current

even when switched off.

Main Unit

1. For safety, DO NOT . . .

.... open the camcorder’s chassis.

.... disassemble or modify the unit.

.... short-circuit the terminals of the battery pack.

Keep it away from metallic objects when not

in use.

.... allow inflammables, water or metallic objects

to enter the unit.

.... remove the battery pack or disconnect the

power supply while the power is on.

.... leave the battery pack attached when the

camcorder is not in use.

3. To prevent damage to the camcorder . . .

.... replace the battery pack when it begins to

deliver less recording time per charge.

NOTE:

It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after

charging, or after use.

Temperature Range Specifications

Charging ................................... 10°C to 35°C

Operation ................................. 0°C to 40°C

Storage...................................... –10°C to 30°C

2. Avoid using the unit . . .

.... in places subject to excessive humidity or

dust.

.... in places subject to soot or steam such as

near a cooking stove.

.... in places subject to excessive shock or

vibration.

.... near a television set.

NOTES:

● Recharging time is based on room temperature of

20°C.

● The lower the temperature, the longer recharging

takes.

.... near appliances generating strong magnetic

or electric fields (speakers, broadcasting

antennas, etc.).

.... in places subject to extremely high (over

1. To prevent damage to the LCD monitor,

DO NOT . . .

.... push it strongly or apply any shocks.

.... place the camcorder with the LCD monitor

on the bottom.

.... in a closed car in summer.

.... near a heater.

2. To prolong service life . . .

4. To protect the unit, DO NOT . . .

.... allow it to become wet.

.... avoid rubbing it with coarse cloth.

.... drop the unit or strike it against hard objects.

.... subject it to shock or excessive vibration

during transportation.

.... keep the lens directed at extremely bright

objects for long periods.

.... expose the lens to direct sunlight.

.... carry it by holding the LCD monitor.

.... swing it excessively when using the hand

strap.

3. Make be aware of the following phenomena for

LCD monitor use.

These are not mulfunctions. . . .

•While using the camcorder, 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.

.... swing the soft camera case excessively when

the camcorder is inside it.

5. Dirty heads can cause the folowing problems:

About moisture condensation . . .

● You have observed that pouring a cold liquid

into a glass will cause drops of water to form

on the glass‘ outer surface. This same

phenomenon occurs on the head drum of a

camcorder 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.

● Moisture on the head drum can cause severe

damage to the video tape, and can lead to

internal damage to the camcorder itself.

•No picture during playback.

•Blocks of noise appear during playback.

•During recording, the Head Clog Warning

indicator “ ” appears in the LCD moitor.

In such cases, use the optional Cleaning

Cassette. Insert it and play back. If the cassette is

used more than once consecutively, damage to

the video heads may result. After the camcorder

plays back for about 20 seconds, it stops

automatically. Also refer to the Cleaning

Cassette’s instructions.

Serious malfunctioning

If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit

immediately and consult your local JVC dealer.

If, after using the Cleaning Cassette, the

problems still exist, consult your nearest JVC

dealer.

The camcorder is a microcomputer-controlled

device. External noise and interference (from a

TV, a radio, etc.) might prevent it from function-

ing properly. In such cases, first disconnect its

power supply unit (battery pack, AC Power

Adapter/Battery Charger, etc.) and clock battery;

and then re-connect it and proceed as usual

from the beginning.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Iris

Works like the pupil of the human eye. In a well-lighted environment, the human pupil contracts to keep too

much light from entering. In low lighting, the pupil dilates to allow more light in.

Colour temperature

A measurement in Kelvin degrees which indicates the colour contents of a light source; bluish light has a

higher colour temperature than reddish light. To reproduce white as white under different types of lighting,

the chrominance signal must be adjusted to match the light source’s colour temperature.

(See “White Balance”.)

AC Adapter

Used when charging the battery. Or, when connected directly to the camcorder, it can be used as a power

supply.

Auto focus

Focus can be set for automatic adjustment, for beginners who find the adjustment difficult.

On-screen display

Displays in the viewfinder can be shown on a connected TV.

Strobe

In the early days of movie making, 1-second strobes were uncommon, so movies didn’t have the smooth

movement they have today. This function gives movies the old-film flicker effect.

Record/Standby

Engage this mode by pressing START/STOP during Stop or Record modes. It means that the camcorder, or

your VCR, is paused and ready to record.

CCD (Charge coupled device)

Solid-state imaging device used in camcorders as the camera’s image pickup; analogous to the eye’s retina

except that picture information is output as electric signals.

Dew sensor

If condensation forms inside the unit due to a temperature change, the indicator appears in the viewfinder,

and the camcorder becomes unusable.

Digital zoom

10x Optical zoom image is taken and digitally processed to provide 20x or 100x magnified images.

Digital Image Stabilizer

When shooting while holding the camcorder in your hand, even if you think you’re perfectly still, there is

slight movement. This function compensates for that movement.

Fade

An effect used in scene transitions. Like movies or TV, the scene gradually goes black or white (fade out), or

comes in from a black or white screen (fade in).

White balance

A term that refers to the correctness of colour reproduction under various lighting. If the white balance is

correct, all other colours will be accurately reproduced.

Wipe

An effect used in scene transitions. A scene disappears as though it’s being wiped off the screen (wipe out),

or appears as though it’s wiped on (wipe in).
