correctly before deleting. (l 72)  
Refer to the operating instructions of the DVD  
recorder for details.

disconnect the Mini AB USB Connection Cable  
while copying. Also, do not shake this unit and  
the DVD burner.  
≥ You cannot connect a USB hub and use it.  
≥ You cannot eject a disc while copying.  
≥ When data is divided and copied to more than  
one disc, a disc with a large unused area may  
result since data is recorded by scene.  
≥ After data is copied to a disc, images cannot be

Copy time

The time it takes to copy differs depending on the  
number of scenes recorded on the SD card, type

temperature. Also, it takes time to automatically  
verify the copied data. For this reason, it may  
take longer to copy than the recording time on  
the SD card.

connecting this unit and the DVD burner will  
play back on any playable device.  
∫ About playing back the discs  
≥ The recording date for scenes or files copied to  
a disc using the DVD burner with this unit is the  
date that the scene or file was copied. This  
date may not be displayed properly depending  
on the software used.  
≥ Data that has been recorded on another device  
may not be copied, or it may not play properly  
even if it is copied.  
≥ When a still picture file is copied to an SD card  
using a PC and other equipment but it does not  
show up on the display of the unit, the image  
will not be copied to the disc.  
A disc created with the DVD burner can be  
played back with a DVD player. (For disc  
compatibility, refer to the operating instructions of  
the player.)  
The DVD burner is capable of recording a  
maximum of 9999 still pictures on a single disc.  
Since the maximum number of still pictures that  
can be played back may vary with the player,  
some of the still pictures on the disc may not play  
back.  
If the device is not capable of playing the disc,  
connect the DVD burner to this unit for playback.

About the battery  
The battery used in this unit is a rechargeable  
lithium-ion battery. It is susceptible to humidity  
and temperature and the effect increases the  
more the temperature rises or falls. In cold areas,  
the full charge indication may not appear or the  
low battery indication may appear for about  
5 minutes after starting use. At high

the battery has been recharged, the battery  
has worn out. Please purchase a new battery.  
temperatures, the protection function may be  
triggered, making it impossible to use the unit.  
Be sure to detach the battery after use.  
≥ If the battery is left inserted, a minute amount  
of current continues to flow even if the unit’s  
power is off. Keeping the unit in this state may  
result in over discharge of the battery. This  
may result in you not being able to use the  
battery even after it is charged.  
≥ The battery should be stored in the vinyl bag  
so metal does not come into contact with the  
terminals.  
≥ The battery should be stored in a cool place  
free from humidity, with as constant  
temperature as possible. (Recommended  
temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F),  
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%)  
≥ Extremely high temperatures or low  
temperatures will shorten the life of the battery.  
≥ If the battery is kept in high-temperature, high-  
humidity, or oily-smoky places, the terminals  
may rust and cause malfunctions.  
≥ To store the battery for a long period of time,  
we recommend you charge it once every year  
and store it again after you have completely  
used up the charged capacity.  
≥ Dust and other matter attached to the battery  
terminals should be removed.  
Prepare spare batteries when going out for  
recording.  
≥ Prepare enough batteries to last 3 to 4 times  
the period you are planning to record.  
≥ Cold weather, such as when skiing, can  
shorten the recording period.

Causes of condensation  
Condensation takes place when the ambient  
temperature or humidity is changed as  
follows.  
≥ When this unit is brought inside from the cold  
(e.g. a ski slope) to a warm room.  
≥ When this unit is moved from an  
air-conditioned car to outside.  
≥ When a cold room has been warmed up  
quickly.  
≥ When cool wind from an air conditioner is  
directly blown onto this unit.  
About the AC adaptor  
≥ If the temperature of the battery is extremely  
high or extremely low, charging may take time  
or the battery may not be charged.  
≥ If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio  
reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC  
adaptor 1 m (3.3 feet) or more away from the  
radio.  
≥ When using the AC adaptor, it may generate  
whirring sounds. However, this is normal.  
≥ After use, be sure to disconnect the AC  
adaptor. (If it is left connected, a minute  
amount of current is consumed.)  
≥ After summer afternoon showers of rain.  
≥ When this unit is in a very humid place where  
the air is thick with steam. (e.g. a heated  
swimming pool)  
≥ Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor  
and battery clean.  
Helpful hint  
If, for example, you have used this unit for  
recording on a ski slope and are taking it into a  
heated room, place the unit inside a plastic bag,  
remove as much of the air from inside the bag as  
possible, then seal the bag. Leave the unit for  
about an hour in the room so the temperature of  
the unit is close to the ambient temperature of  
the room, then use it.  
LCD monitor  
≥ When the LCD monitor gets dirty, wipe it with a  
dry soft cloth.  
≥ In a place with drastic temperature changes,  
condensation may form on the LCD monitor.  
Wipe it with a soft dry cloth.  
≥ When the unit has become very cold, for  
example due to storage in a cold area, its LCD  
monitor will be slightly darker than usual  
immediately after the power is turned on. The  
normal brightness will be restored when the  
unit’s internal temperature rises.  
Extremely high precision technology is  
employed to produce the LCD Monitor screen  
featuring a total of approximately 123,000  
pixels. The result is more than 99.99%  
effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the  
pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is  
not a malfunction and does not affect the  
recorded picture.  
About condensation  
If condensation forms on the unit, the lens will  
cloud up and the unit may not work properly.  
Make every effort to ensure that condensation  
does not form. If it does form, take the actions  
described below.

Explanation of terms  
white balance adjustment range, use the manual  
white balance adjustment mode.  
Automatic white balance  
White balance adjustment recognizes the color  
of light and adjusts so the white color will  
become a purer white. The unit determines the  
hue of light that comes through the lens, thereby  
judging the recording condition, and selects the  
closest hue setting.  
This is called automatic white balance  
adjustment.  
However, since the unit only stores white color  
information under certain light sources,  
automatic white balance adjustment does not  
function normally under other light sources.  
White balance adjustment  
White balance adjustment determines the white  
color under different light sources. By  
recognizing which is the white color under  
sunlight and which is the white color under a  
fluorescent light, the unit can adjust the balance  
among the other colors.  
Since the white color is the reference for all the  
colors, the unit can record pictures in a natural  
hue if it can recognize the reference color white.

Recording distant and close-up objects at the  
same time  
Since the unit focuses on whatever is at the  
center of the screen, it is difficult to bring the  
background into focus when close-up objects are  
placed in focus. When recording people with  
distant mountains in the background, you cannot  
focus on both the subject which is close-up and  
the objects which are in the distance.

Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty

Outside of the effective range of automatic white

of automatic white balance adjustment, the  
automatic white balance adjustment may not  
function properly if there is more than one light  
source. For light outside the functional automatic  
The subject behind the window will not be  
focused because the focus is on the dirty  
window.  
Similarly, when recording something on the  
opposite side of a road with heavy traffic, a  
vehicle that happens to pass by may be brought  
into focus.  
101  
LSQT1488  
Recording a subject that is surrounded by  
objects with glossy surfaces or by highly  
reflective objects  
Since whatever is shiny or glistens is brought into  
focus, it is hard to focus on the subject to be  
recorded. The focus may become blurry when  
recording subjects at the beach, night views or in  
scenes involving fireworks or special lights.  
Recording a subject in dark surroundings  
The unit cannot focus correctly because the light  
information that comes through the lens  
decreases considerably.  
Recording a fast-moving subject  
As the focus lens-inside moves mechanically, it  
cannot keep up with a fast-moving subject.  
When, for example, recording a sports event with  
fast moving subjects, the focus may lose its  
sharpness.  
Recording a subject with little contrast  
It is easy to bring subjects with a sharp contrast  
or vertical lines or stripes into focus. This means  
that a subject with little contrast, such as a white  
wall, may become blurry because the unit  
achieves focus based upon the vertical lines of  
an image.

You must carry-in or mail-in (prepaid) your product or arrange for in-home service, as applicable, during the warranty period.  
If non-rechargeable batteries are included, they are not warranted. This warranty only applies to products purchased and serviced in the

A purchase receipt or other proof of the original purchase date is required for warranty service.

In-Home service, if applicable, requires clear, complete and easy access to the product by the authorized servicer and does not include  
removal or re-installation of an installed product. It is possible that certain in-home repairs will not be completed in-home, but will require  
that the product, or parts of the product, be removed for shop diagnosis and/or repair and then returned.  
Limited Warranty Limits And Exclusions  
This warranty ONLY COVERS failures due to defects in materials or workmanship, and DOES NOT COVER normal wear and tear or

onscreen data in a stationary and fixed location). The warranty ALSO DOES NOT COVER damages which occurred in shipment, or  
failures which are caused by products not supplied by the warrantor, or failures which result from accidents, misuse, abuse, neglect,  
bug infestation, mishandling, misapplication, alteration, faulty installation, set-up adjustments, misadjustment of consumer controls,  
improper maintenance, power line surge, lightning damage, modification, or commercial use (such as in a hotel, office, restaurant, or

for illustration only.)  
ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, ARE  
LIMITED TO THE PERIOD OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY.  
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or limitations on how long an implied  
warranty lasts, so the exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights
