Battery Properties
Battery type
BP125A
A lithium-ion battery is small-sized and has a high capacity. Low ambient
temperature (below 50ºF (10ºC)) may shorten its usage time and affect its
function. Before recording in low temperatures, put the battery into your
pocket to warm it, then install it in the camcorder.
Make sure to store the battery separately after use.
- A small amount of battery power is consumed when the battery is stored
in the camcorder even if the camcorder power is off.
- The battery may be completely discharged, if it has been installed and left
in the camcorder for a long period of time. If this occurs, the battery may
not fully operate even if you charge it.
Using the AC power adaptor: approx. 120 min.
Using the USB cable: approx. 270 min.

Charging time: Approximate time in minutes required to fully charge a
completely exhausted battery.
- If the battery is not used for a long time, fully charge the battery and then,
using your camcorder, drain the charge completely once every 3 months
to keep the battery functioning properly. To store the battery, remove it
from your camcorder and put it in a cool, dry place.
Charge an extra battery before using the camcorder outdoors in cold
temperatures.
- The cold temperature may shorten the available recording time.
- Carry the supplied AC power adaptor to charge the battery while travelling.
Check whether the battery terminal is damaged if the battery falls or is
dropped.
- If you install a battery with the damaged terminal into the camcorder, you
can damage the camcorder.
Remove the battery and the memory card from the camcorder and
disconnect the AC power adaptor after use.
- Store the battery in a stable, cool and dry place.
Recording/Playback time: Approximate time available when you have fully
charged the battery. ‘Full HD’ stands for high definition image quality and ‘SD’
stands for standard image quality.
Times shown above are measured under Samsung’s test conditions. Your
times may differ, depending on your usage and conditions.
The recording and playback times will be shorter when you use your
camcorder in low temperatures.
•
•
•
•
•
•
We recommend using the AC power adaptor when using the Time Lapse
REC function.
•
•
The charging time will vary depending on the charge remaining in the
battery.
The battery is charged over 95% after about 2 hours, and the
indicator colour changes to green. It takes about 2 hours and 40
minutes for the battery to charge 100%.
(Recommended temperature : 59ºF ~ 77ºF (15ºC~ 25ºC), recommended
humidity: 40%~ 60%)
- Temperatures that are too high or too low shorten the battery lifetime.
- The battery terminals can become rusty or malfunction if the battery is
stored in a smoky or dusty location.
Recycle or dispose of your dead batteries properly.
The battery lifetime is limited.
- Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If
decreased usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably
time to replace the battery with a new one.
Continuous Recording (without zoom)
The continuous recording time above shows the available recording time when
you record without using any other function after recording starts. The battery may
discharge 2-3 times faster than this reference if you use the recording start/stop, the
zoom, and the playback functions. Prepare additional batteries with the expectation
that the actual recording time is about 1/3 to 1/2 of the times listed above.
•
•
Using an AC power source
We recommend that you use the AC power adaptor to power the camcorder
from a household AC outlet when recording and playing the camcorder indoors.
The connection is the same as that for battery charging. ¬page 22
- Each battery’s life is affected by storage, operating, and environmental
conditions.

•
•
For video recording, use a memory card that supports faster write
speeds (above SDHC Class 6 card).
SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) cards
SD/SDHC 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 the terminals. To set write protection, move the
switch down.
•
An SDHC card is a higher version (Ver. 2.00) of the SD card and
supports capacities above 4GB.
•
SDHC cards cannot be used with current SD enabled host
devices.
Common cautions for memory cards
•
Damaged data may not be recoverable. We recommend you
make a back-up of important data separately on the hard disk of
your PC.
•
•
Turning the power off or removing a memory card during an
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 PC, your camcorder may not recognise the
modified file.
31
Getting ready to start recording
Handling a memory card
The camcorder supports SD and SDHC memory cards,
giving you a wider choice of cards!
The data storage speed may differ, depending on the
manufacturer and production system.
•
We recommend that you power off the camcorder before
inserting or removing the memory card to avoid data loss.
•
Make sure to format the memory card on this camcorder. If
the memory card had been formatted by a PC or other device,
using it on this camcorder without formatting may find trouble
with recording and/or playback. Samsung is not responsible for
damage of recorded contents caused by such reasons.
•
•
SLC (Single Level Cell) system: faster write speed enabled.
MLC (Multi Level Cell) system: only lower write speed is
supported.
For best results, we recommend using a memory card that
supports a faster write speed.
Using a lower write speed memory card for recording video may
cause difficulties when storing.
You may even lose your video data during the recording.
In an attempt to preserve every bit of the recorded video, the
camcorder forcibly stores the video on the memory card and
displays a warning:
“Low speed card. Please record at a lower resolution”.
If you are unavoidably using a low speed memory card, the
resolution of the recording may be lower than the set value.
•
•
You have to format newly-purchased memory cards, memory
cards with data that your camcorder cannot recognise or with
data saved by other devices. Note that formatting erases all data
on the memory card and deleted data cannot be recovered.
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 subject the card to strong impacts.
Do not place foreign substances on the memory card terminals.
Use a soft dry cloth to clean the terminals if required.
page 63
¬
The higher the resolution and quality, the more memory the
camcorder uses.
•
Do not paste anything other than the label provided with the card
on the label pasting area of the card.
•
•
Do not use a damaged memory card.
•
•
•
Samsung is not responsible for data loss due to misuse, including
loss caused by any PC virus.
We recommend using a memory card case to prevent data loss from
motion or static electricity.
After a period of use, the memory card may get warm. This is normal
and is not a malfunction.
Be careful to keep the memory card out of the reach of children,
who might swallow it.

White Balance
Understanding White Balance
White balance (WB) is the process of removing unrealistic colour
casts, so that objects which appear white are rendered white in your
image. Proper white balance has to take into account the “colour
temperature” of a light source, which refers to the relative warmth or
coolness of white light.
The colour of your image depends on the type and quality of the
light source. If you want the colour of your image to be realistic,
select an appropriate lighting condition to calibrate the white
balance.
Press the Home ( ) button p touch “Manual” p

•
When setting the white balance manually, the subject must be white,
otherwise, your camcorder may not detect an appropriate setting value.
The adjusted setting remains until you set the white balance again.
During normal outdoor recording, setting to “Auto” may provide
better results.

Custom WB ( ): Lets you manually adjust the white balance to match

Understanding EV (Exposure Value)
Back lighting causes the subject to be darker than the
background
Exposure value is the total amount of light allowed to fall on the
photographic medium (Image sensor) during the process of taking
photos or videos. The higher the number, the greater the exposure.
For example, + 0.3 lets in more light than -0.3.
It typically occurs when:
•
•
The subject is in front of a window.
The person you want to record is
wearing white or shiny clothes and is
placed against a bright background.
The person’s face is too dark to
distinguish his/her features.
•
The subject is outdoors and the
background is overcast.
•
•
The light sources are too bright.
The subject is in front of a snowy
background.

50 captured images compose a video of 1 second length. Since the minimum length of a video to be saved by your camcorder is one second, the interval defines how
long the time lapse recording should be. For example, if you set the interval to “5 Sec”, time lapse recording should be set to at least 9 minutes to record a minimum
video length of 2 seconds (100 images).

•
•
Time lapse REC function lets the camcorder record up to 72 hours until you stop recording or turn the camcorder’s power off.
Once time lapse recording finishes the camcorder switches to the standby mode.
You cannot pause recording during Time lapse recording.
Press the Recording start/stop button if you want to stop time lapse recording.
Audio is not recorded during time lapse recording.
If a video recording fills up 1.8GB of storage memory, a new recording file is automatically started at that point.
If the battery charge is exhausted during the time lapse recording, the camcorder saves the recording up to that point and switches to standby mode. After some time,
it displays a warning message, then turns off automatically.
If memory runs out during a Time Lapse REC, the camcorder switches to standby mode after saving what was recorded so far.
We recommend using the AC power adaptor for a time lapse recording.

Additional information
USING YOUR CAMCORDER ABROAD
When there is dew condensation, put the camcorder aside
for a while before using
•
•
Each country or region has its own electric and colour systems.
Before using your camcorder abroad, check the following items.
•
•
•
What is dew condensation?
Dew condensation happens when a camcorder is moved to a
location where there is a significant temperature difference from
the previous location. The dew condenses on the external or
internal parts of the camcorder, and on the reflection lens. If there
is dew on or in your camcorder, it may cause the camcorder to
malfunction or damage the camcorder when you turn the power
on.
Power sources
The AC adaptor provided lets you power, recharge, and use your camcorder in
any country/region that has AC power in the 100 V to 240 V, 50/60 Hz range.
You may need a commercially available AC plug adaptor depending on the
design of local wall outlets.
Exactly when does dew condensation occur?
When you move the camera to a location with a higher
temperature than the previous location, or when you move it to a
hot area suddenly. Examples:
- You record outside in cold weather during the winter and then
move the camera in indoors.
- You record outside in hot weather after being indoors or inside a
car where the A/C was running.
What can I do?
On TV colour systems
Your camcorder is an PAL based camcorder. If you want to view your
recordings on a TV or copy them to an external device, it must be an PAL
based TV or external device and have the appropriate Audio/Video jacks.
Otherwise, you may need to use a separate video format transcoder (For
example, an PAL to NTSC format converter).
- Turn the power off, detach the battery, and leave the camcorder
in a dry area for 1~2 hours before using it.
The format transcoder is not provided by Samsung.
•
•
Use the camcorder only after dew condensation has completely
disappeared.
Be sure to use the recommended accessories supplied with the
camcorder. For service, contact your nearest Samsung authorized
service centre.

Additional information
GLOSSARY
AF (Auto Focus)
F. No (F-Number)
A system that automatically focuses the camcorder lens on the subject. Your camcorder uses
the contrast to focus automatically.
The f-number defines the brightness of lens. Smaller number lens has generally brighter image.
The f-number is directly proportional to the focal length and inversely proportional to the lens
diameter.
Aperture
*F.No=focal length/diameter of lens aperture
The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the camcorder’s sensor.
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264
Camcorder shake (Blur)
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 defines the latest video coding format standardized by the ISO-IEC and
the ITU-T, in 2003. Compared with the conventional MPEG-2 format, MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 has
more than twice the efficiency. Your camcorder employs MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 to encode high
definition videos.
If the camcorder is moved while the shutter is open, the entire image may appear blurred. This
occurs more often when the shutter speed is slow. Prevent camcorder shake by raising the
sensitivity, using a faster shutter speed. Alternately, use a tripod, the DIS or OIS function to
stabilise the camcorder.
Optical zoom
Composition
This is a general zoom which can enlarge images with a lens and does not deteriorate quality of
images.
Composition in photography means arranging objects in a photo. Usually, abiding by the rule of
thirds leads to a good composition.
Quality
Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS)
CMOS is an image sensor producing images approaching the quality of CCD (charge coupled
device) sensors. It consumes less power, meaning a longer battery life on your camcorder.
An expression of the rate of compression used in a digital image. Higher quality images have a
lower rate of compression, which usually results in a larger file size.
Resolution
Digital zoom
The number of pixels present in a digital image. High resolution images contain more pixels and
typically show more detail than low resolution images.
A feature that artificially increases the amount of zoom available with zoom lens (Optical zoom).
When using the Digital zoom, the image quality will deteriorate as the magnification increases.
Shutter speed
Effective Pixel Count
Unlike the total pixel count, this is the actual number of pixels used to capture an image.
Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter, and it is
an important factor in the brightness of a photo, as it controls the amount of light which pass
through the aperture before it reaches the image sensor. A fast shutter speed allows less time
to let light in and the photo becomes darker and more easily freezes subjects in motion.
EV (Exposure Value)
Tele Macro
All the combinations of the camcorder’s shutter speed and lens aperture that result in the same
exposure.
This feature allows you to capture close-up images of very small objects. When using the Tele
Macro feature, the camcorder can maintain a sharp focus on small objects at a near life-size
ratio (1:1).
Exposure
The amount of light allowed to reach the camcorder’s sensor. Exposure is controlled by a
combination of the shutter speed, the aperture value, and ISO sensitivity.
White balance (colour balance)
An adjustment of the intensities of colours (typically the primary colours red, green, and blue), in
an image. The goal of adjusting the white balance, or colour balance, is to correctly render the
colours in an image.
Focal length
The distance from the middle of the lens to its focal point (in millimeters). Longer focal lengths
result in narrower angles of view and the subject is magnified. Shorter focal lengths result in
wider angles of view.
