Handling Your Camera and Cradle
Before using the camera, carefully read and observe the “Safety Precautions”
(
p.8) and the notes described below:
Avoid Using or Storing the Camera in the Following Places
• Places subject to humidity, dust, and dirt
• Places subject to direct sunlight
• Places subject to high or low temperature
• Places filled with highly flammable gas
• Places near gasoline, benzene, or paint thinner
• Places subject to strong vibration
• Places subject to smoke or steam
• Places subject to strong magnetic fields (near electric motors, transformers, magnets,
etc.)
• Places contacting chemicals (such as pesticides), rubber or vinyl products for a long
period of time
Avoid Subjecting the Camera to Vibrations or Impacts
If the camera is subjected to strong vibrations, not only will the camera become damaged,
there might also be a loss of hard disk drive data.
Prevent the Hard Disk Camera from Coming into Contact with Sand
If the camera comes into contact with sand, not only will the camera become damaged,
it will also no longer be repairable.
Take special care when using the hard disk camera near seaside, sandy areas or places
where sand dust is likely to occur.
Pay Attention to Condensation
Sudden Changes in temperature, such as when you move the camera or cradle from a
cold location to a warm one, water droplets (condensation) may form on the inside of the
camera or on the lens.
When this occurs, turn the power OFF, and wait an hour before using the camera. If
condensation forms on the SD Memory Card, remove the SD Memory Card, wipe off any
condensation and wait a short time before using it again.

When Cleaning the Camera
• To prevent the lens and the surface of the LCD monitor from being scratched, blow off
any dust from them with a blower brush and lightly wipe with a soft dry cloth.
• Clean the body of the camera with a soft dry cloth. Do not use volatile liquids such as
paint thinner, benzene, or other harsh chemicals because these may cause
deformation or remove the coating.
Be Careful of Magnetic Fields
• Please do not allow items that are easily affected by magnetic fields to come close to
the speaker of the camera; these include credit and cash cards, magnetic passes,
computer diskettes, etc. Doing so could result in data loss and render the item
unusable.
• Do not allow objects such as magnets or speakers which produce magnetic fields to
come close to the camera. This might cause damage, malfunctioning, or loss of
memory contents.
Be Careful of Electromagnetic Waves
Do not use the camera near towers or high-voltage lines. This might cause poor video or
audio quality.

Handling the AC Adapter
Be sure to use only the specified AC adapter (SQPH20W10P-02). Using a different AC
adapter might cause the camera to malfunction.
Before using the AC adapter, carefully read and observe the “Safety Precautions” (
p.8) and the notes described below:
• Do not allow the connectors on the AC adapter to come into contact any other metal
object because this might cause a short circuit.
• To connect the AC adapter, fully insert the DC plug on the AC adapter into the DC IN
10V terminal on the camera or the cradle (comes with GSC-R60).
• When disconnecting the AC adapter cable or DC plug, turn the power OFF, then
disconnect while holding its plug. Do not disconnect by pulling the actual cable.
• Do not drop the AC adapter or subject it to strong impact.
• Do not use the AC adapter in very hot and humid places.
• Do not insert the DC plug on the AC adapter while the battery is being used. Turn the
power OFF first.
• The AC adapter is for indoor use only.
• Do not connect the supplied AC adapter to a device other than this camera.
• The AC adapter may sometimes become warm during use. This is normal.
• Buzzing noises may come form inside the camera. This is normal.
• Do not use the AC adapter near a radio because it could interfere with the radio.
• If you remove the battery or AC adapter while the camera is in operation, the date may
be lost from the memory. If this happens, reset the date.

Handling the Battery
This camera uses a special rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It is referred to simply as
“battery” in this manual. Do not use a different battery.
When you use the battery, carefully read and observe the “Safety Precautions”
(
p.8) and the notes described below.
* The battery included with the camera does not come fully charged. Be sure to fully
charge the battery before using the camera for the first time.
About Battery Use
• The battery gradually discharges even when not used. Charge the battery one or two
days before use.
• To maximize the battery life, switch the camera OFF as often as possible when it is not
being used.
• In cold locations, the length of time the camera is operable decreases even with a fully
charged battery.
Take along a spare fully charged battery.
• Always keep the terminals clean.
• If the battery is used for a long time, the battery itself will become warm. This is normal
and not a malfunction.
• The battery has a limited service life. The length of service life varies depending on
product use and user settings. At normal temperatures (77°F (25°C)), the battery can
be recharged approximately 300 times. If you use the battery beyond its service life, you
may notice that battery life becomes remarkably shorter, even if the battery is fully
charged. If you notice that battery life has become remarkably shorter, even when the
battery pack is fully charged, it is recommended that you replace the battery pack with
battery model number GSC-BT5.
When not Using the Battery for a Long Time
• When the battery is not in use for a lengthy period of time, be sure to remove it from the
camera body. If the battery is left attached to the camera body or battery charger, a
minute current will flow even if the power is turned OFF. This will result in over
discharge and the battery may no longer be useable.
• Store the battery in a cool place. We recommend a dry place with a surrounding
temperature of 59°F (15°C) to 77°F (25°C). Avoid storing the battery in extremely hot
or cold places.
19
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Charging the Battery
• Charging is done with the camera body. You must not charge the battery with any other
charger.
• When you use the battery for the first time or when the battery has not been used for a
long time, be sure to charge the battery before use.
• Use only the specified AC adapter (SQPH20W10P-02).
• This battery does not need to be fully discharged or exhausted before being charged.
• The battery may feel warm after it has been charged or immediately after being used.
This is normal and not a malfunction.
• The battery can be charged at temperatures between about +50°F (+10°C) and +86°F
(+30°C) to obtain maximum battery performance.
• Do not recharge a fully charged battery.
Getting the Most Out of Your Battery
• Even when the camera is turned off, a very small current continues to flow. If you do not
intend to use the camera for a long period, you should take the battery out of the
camera. If the battery is left out of the camera for approximately 48 hours, the date, time
and other camera settings may revert to the default values. Reset these settings before
using the camera.
• Battery performance that has been impaired by low temperatures will recover when the
camera is returned to room temperature (77°F (25°C)).

“HDD” throughout this Owner's Manual. The hard disk drive is a precision component that
is easily affected by impacts, vibration and environmental variations such as changes in
temperature. Note the following when using the camera:
• Avoid striking, dropping, vibrating or waving the camera around while it is operating or
while it is idle. Doing so could result in camera damage, malfunctions or loss of stored
data.
• Do not turn the camera off while it is writing data to or reading data from the hard disk
drive. Doing so could result in camera damage, malfunctions or loss of stored data.
• Before formatting the hard disk drive, check the data stored on the hard disk drive
carefully.
Formatting the hard disk drive completely erases all the data saved on the hard disk
drive. Data erased during formatting cannot be recovered.
• You should back up the data saved on the hard disk drive frequently in case of damage
to the hard disk drive or any modification or erasing of the data.
Toshiba accepts no liability whatsoever for any loss or corruption of data stored on the
hard disk drive.
• It is recommended that you make a trial recording before recording content that is
important to you. Play back the trial recording to ensure that the video and audio were
recorded properly.
Using the Hard Disk Drive
• It is recommended that you periodically save the files on the hard disk drive to a PC,
CD or DVD and format the hard disk drive.
The hard disk drive is a high precision component and there is always a risk of partial
damage to the disk depending on how it is used. At worst, it may become impossible to
read or write data to the hard disk drive.
Accordingly, the hard disk drive should not be regarded as a permanent storage
location for recorded files, but rather as a temporary storage location for viewing images
before they are to be erased or copied for permanent storage onto a PC, DVD recorder
with DVR, CD or DVD, etc.
• When files are repeatedly recorded onto the hard disk drive and erased, file distribution
on the hard disk drive becomes fragmented and the amount of continuous free space
decreases.
When this occurs, files that cannot be saved into a single block of free space are split
into 2 or more parts during saving.
Increasing numbers of split files will slow down normal camera operation and may in
some cases prevent the allocation of sufficient free space to save new files even after
stored images are erased.
In this situation, copy the files on the hard disk drive onto a PC, DVD recorder with DVR,
CD or DVD, etc. and then format the built-in hard disk drive.

About SD Memory Cards
SD Memory Cards (sold separately) are referred to in this manual
as “SD cards”.
Note the information given below on handling SD cards.
Notes on Using SD Cards
• SD cards contain built-in nonvolatile semiconductor memory. Recorded data is not
generally corrupted (or erased) during normal use, but misuse can result in data
corruption (loss). Toshiba accepts no liability whatsoever for any damages or loss
arising from the corruption (loss) of data stored on SD cards, regardless of the details
or cause.
• Because part of the memory on an SD card is used as the system area, the actual
available memory capacity is smaller than stated card capacity.
• Always format SD cards in the camera. Formatting an SD card on another device (such
as a PC) can cause problems that may prevent data being written to or read from the
card.
• You should always make backup copies of important data.
• SD cards have a limited operating life. If you are no longer able to record or erase
images on an SD card that has been used for a long period, you should purchase a new
SD card.
• Take care that young children do not accidentally swallow an SD card as this could
cause choking.
• This camera conforms to SD standard version 1.01.
Write-protection
To prevent important data from being accidentally
erased, you can lock (write-protect) an SD card by
moving the write-protect tab on the side of the card to
the LOCK position. To record, edit or erase data on
the card, return the tab to the unlocked position.
LOCK
LOCK
Write-protect tab
Locked
IMPORTANT
• The use of high-speed SD cards (10MB/sec or faster) is recommended. Using SD
cards with slower data transfer rates may prevent normal video recording and
playback.
• Not all third-party SD cards are guaranteed to work with this camera.

Camera Operation Time Using the Battery
The length of time for which the camera will operate on battery power varies considerably
depending on a number of factors, including the battery's storage time, the temperature of the
battery and camera, and the shooting conditions (whether the flash and zoom are used, etc.).
Dirt and/or other debris on the positive (+) and/or negative (–) battery terminals, or on the
corresponding terminals in the camera, can obstruct current flow and the camera to incorrectly
indicate that the battery is not charged. When loading and removing the battery, take care not
to touch the battery or camera terminals. If the battery and/or camera terminals are dirty, clean
them with a clean, dry cloth.
The available video recording times when a new battery is fully charged are shown below.
Continuous video recording
Conditions: Recording a video continuously without using the zoom at a temperature
of 73°F (23°C)
Shooting time: Approx. 110 min.
Actual time video recording
Conditions: Recording a video using the zoom and power ON/OFF at a temperature of
73°F (23°C)
Shooting time: Approx. 60 min.
* The figures above relating to video recording time are for reference purposes only and
are not guaranteed.

IMPORTANT
• Do not disconnect the AC adaptor, open or close the battery cover, or remove the
battery or SD card while the camera is in operation. Doing so may damage the
camera, hard disk drive and/or SD card, and may corrupt the data stored on the
hard disk drive or SD card.
• Avoid low temperature-burns when using the camera for long periods of time. The
camera can get hot, especially when used in hot environments. For long periods
of shooting, the use of a tripod is recommended.
• When you are shooting very bright or shiny subjects, vertical bands may appear
on the image. This is a phenomenon called “smear” (see “Glossary”
is not a problem with the camera.
p.198) and
MEMO
• The maximum size for a single video file is 4GB*. When the file size approaches
4GB during video recording, a countdown begins on the screen 10 minutes before
the limit is reached.
If you just continue shooting, the camera automatically stops shooting the video,
creates a video file and then resumes shooting.
The size of the created video file will be slightly less than 4GB.
• If you set the LCD monitor in the backward-facing position, the image is displayed
reversed left to right, like the image in a mirror. However, using any of the camera
buttons or keys temporarily changes the image back to normal.
• You can insert up to 99 chapters in each video file.
• Video recording uses up battery charge more quickly than still image
photography.
• When you focus the lens either automatically or manually while shooting a video,
the lens operation noise as it focuses may also be recorded in the video.

• To mount a conversion lens or lens hood directly onto the lens, use a lens or hood
with a threaded mount diameter of 30.5 mm.
• If you take pictures with the flash while the conversion lens or lens hood is
attached, the conversion lens or lens hood will block the light from the flash and
prevent the picture from being shot correctly.
• If the conversion lens or lens hood is attached, the lens or hood will obstruct the
assist light.
• When a conversion lens or lens hood is mounted, the remote control may not
function correctly.
• When a conversion lens is mounted, set image stabilization to [OFF].
• When a conversion lens is mounted, the camera may have difficulty auto focusing
or the distance displayed for shooting range ( p.62) and manual focus may be

user can quickly move to the beginning of a desired scene. In effect, a “Bookmarks”
function.
●Dolby Digital
An audio compression format that supports the multi-channel surround sound
developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. in the U.S. Because this format allows audio to
be compressed while minimizing the loss of sound quality, it allows the creation of DVD
video with high-quality audio and videos. Generally referred to as “Dolby Digital 5.1” or
“5.1 Surround”.
●DHCP
A mechanism wherein a router or similar device automatically assigns IP addresses
and other identifiers.

compatible printer or commercial developing and printing service.
●Exif (Exchangeable Image File format)
A full-color still-image file format for digital still cameras approved by the Japan
Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA). Exif is
compatible with JPEG and TIFF and can be handled by most image processing
software applications for PCs.
●Exposure bias
A process of adjustment or correction that allows the photographer to deliberately
make the photographed image darker or lighter than the exposure automatically
determined by the camera.
●Format
The process of configuring the content of hard disk drive or SD card so that it can be
used to record data (also known as initializing).
●FULL SPEED MODE

be selected, but the higher the compression ratio, the poorer the quality of the
expanded image. Widely used on the Internet and by painting applications for PCs.
● LAN (Local Area Network)
A network that interconnects devices located within a limited area.
● MPEG
A file format for compressing video files that allows files containing digital video and
audio to be transferred efficiently.

The TV format used in Japan and the U.S.
● PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)
The TV format used in most European countries, including Britain and Germany.
● PictBridge
A communications standard for printing images via a direct printer connection.
This allows devices to print by connecting directly to a PictBridge-compatible printer via
a USB cable. In addition to allowing settings such as the number of prints to be
specified on a digital camera, PictBridge can be used for a range of functions.
● Red-eye effect
An effect in which the pupils of people’s eyes appear bright red in shots taken in dark
situations using a flash. The effect is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the
inside of the eye.
● Router
