Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. Keep the camcorder

turned off while not operating it.

Store the battery pack separately when ﬁnished charging or when not using it for a long

time. This will help extend the life of the battery.

The Battery pack is charged over 95% after about 1 hour and 40 minutes, and the

indicator color changes to green.

It takes about 2 hours for the battery pack to charge 100%.

Charging time: Approximate time (min.) required when you fully charge a completely

exhausted battery pack.

Recording/Playback time: Approximate time (min.) available when you fully charged

the battery pack. ‘HD’ stands for high deﬁnition image quality, and ‘SD’ stands for

standard image quality.

About battery packs

• The battery pack should be recharged in an environment that is between 32°F (0°C)

and 104°F (40°C). However, when it is exposed to cold temperatures (below 32°F (0°C)),

its usage time reduces and it 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-insert it.

• Do not put the battery pack near any heat source (i.e. ﬁre or a heater).

• Do not disassemble, apply pressure to, or heat the battery pack.

• Do not allow battery pack terminals to be short-circuited. It may cause leakage,

generate heat, or cause ﬁre.

Maintaining the battery pack

•

The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental conditions.

We recommend only using the original battery pack that is available from your Samsung

retailer. When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer. The

batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.

•

Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.

To preserve battery power, keep your camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.

Even when the power is switched off, the battery pack will still discharge if it is left

inserted on the camcorder. It is recommended that you remove the battery pack from the

camcorder.

If the battery pack is not used for a long time, fully charge the battery pack and use it up

on your camcorder once per 6 months to maintain proper function. To store the battery

pack, remove it from your camcorder and put it in a dry, cool place.

•

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.

ꢀ9

•

getting started

About the running time

•

Times measured when using the camcorder at 25˚C (77˚F). As the environmental

temperature and conditions vary, the actual battery time may differ form the

approximate times given in the table.

•

The recording and playback time will be shorter depending on the conditions under

which you use your camcorder. In actual recording, the battery pack may discharge

2-3 times faster than this reference, since the Record start/stop and Zoom are

being operated, and playback is performed. Assume that the recordable time with

a fully charged battery pack is between 1/2 and 1/3 of the time in the table, so

have enough battery packs to allow for the time you are planning to record on the

camcorder.

•

The recording and playback time will be shorter when you use your camcorder in

low temperatures.

On the battery pack

•

The CHG (charging) lamp blinks during charging, or Battery Info will not be correctly

displayed under the following conditions:

The battery pack is not inserted correctly.

The battery pack is damaged.

The battery pack is worn-out. (For the battery information only)

Using an AC power source

It is recommended that you use the AC power adaptor to power the camcorder from a

household AC outlet when you perform settings on it, play back, or edit images, or use

it indoors. Make the same connections as you do when charging the battery pack.

page 27

On the AC Adaptor

•

Use a nearby wall outlet when using the AC Adaptor. Disconnect the AC Adaptor

from the wall outlet immediately if any malfunction occurs while using your camcorder.

Do not use the AC Adaptor placed in a narrow space, such as between a wall and

furniture.

Do not short-circuit the DC plug of the AC Adaptor or battery terminals with any

metallic objects. This may cause a malfunction.

Even if your camcorder is turned off, AC power is still supplied to it while connected

to the wall outlet via the AC Adaptor.

SELECTING A SUITABLE MEMORY CARD

Compatible memory cards

SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) cards

•

This camcorder can be used with SD

(Secure Digital) and SDHC (Secure Digital

High Capacity) cards.

•

SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity)

memory card

An SDHC card is a higher version

(Ver.2.00) of SD card and supports

capacity above 2GB.

It is recommended to use an SDHC (Secure

Digital High Capacity) card.

SD cards up to 2GB are supported with

this camcorder. Normal operation is not

guaranteed with SD cards bigger than 2GB.

MMC (Multi Media Card) and MMC Plus are

not supported.

Compatible memory card capacity: SD 1 ~

2GB, SDHC 4 ~ 32GB

Use compatible memory card brands.

Others are not guaranteed to work. Check

the compatibility when buying a memory

card.

Cannot be used with current SD

enabled host devices.

•

Common cautions for memory cards

•

Damaged data may not be recovered.

It is recommended 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

recognize the modiﬁed ﬁle.

SDHC/SD cards: Panasonic, SanDisk,

TOSHIBA

•

To record videos, use a memory card

supporting at least 2MB/s.

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.

Handling a memory card

•

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.

You have to format newly-purchased

memory cards, memory cards with

data that your camcorder cannot

recognize or are saved by other

devices. Note that formatting erases

all data on the memory card.

Usable memory cards

Protection tab

Terminals

•

ꢁꢇ

•

If you cannot use a memory card that

has been used with another device,

format it with your 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 strong

impact to the card.

Do not place foreign substances on

the memory card terminals. Use a

soft dry cloth to clean the terminals if

required.

Do not paste anything other than label

provided with the card on the label

pasting section.

The camcorder supports SD and

SDHC memory cards for data

storage preference!

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 is supported.

•

For best results, we recommend

using a memory card that supports

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 any bit of

the recorded video, the camcorder

forcibly stores the movie on the

memory card and displays a

warning:

“Low speed card. Please record

a lower resolution.”

If you are unavoidably using a low

speed memory card, resolution

and quality of the recording may be

lower than the set value.

pages 62~63

The higher the resolution and

quality, the more memory will be

used.

•

Be careful to keep the memory card

out of the reach of children, who might

swallow it.

Notes 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.

Set White Balance

Understanding White Balance:

White balance (WB) is the process of removing unrealistic color casts, so that objects

which appear white are rendered white in your photo. Proper white balance has to

take into account the “color temperature” of a light source, which refers to the relative

warmth or coolness of white light.

•

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.

Cancel the digital zoom function for clear and precise setting.

Reset the white balance if light conditions change.

ꢄꢄ

ISO

ISO sensitivity is a measure of how rapidly the camcorder reacts to a light source. The higher the

sensitivity, the brighter the image is under the same aperture condition.

30 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 taken. For example, if you set the interval to “30 Sec,” Time Lapse Recording

should be taken for at least 15 minutes to record a minimum video length of 1 second (30 images).

•

What is dew condensation?

Dew condensation happens when a camcorder is moved to a place where there is a

signiﬁcant temperature difference from the previous place. The Dew condenses on the

external or internal parts of the camcorder, and on the reﬂection lens. When this happens, it

may cause a malfunction or damage to the camcorder when using the device with the power

on while there is dew condensation.

•

What can I do?

Turn the power off and detach the battery pack, and leave it in a dry area for 1~2 hours

before using it.

When does the dew condensation occur?

When the device is relocated to a place with a higher temperature than the previous location,

or when using it in a hot area suddenly, it will cause condensation.

- When recording outside in cold weather during the winter and then using it in indoors.

- When recording outside in hot weather after being indoors or inside a car where the A/C
