Prepare additional batteries with the expectation that the actual recording time is about 60% of the times listed above. Using an AC power source We recommend that you use the power adaptor to power the camcorder from a household AC outlet when recording and playing back the camcorder indoors. The connection is the same as that for battery charging. page 20 • The charging time will vary depending on the amount of charge left in the battery. • Depending on your PC specifications, the charging time can be prolonged. 23 Getting started About the battery • Battery properties 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. - If the battery is not used for a long time, fully charge the battery and then, using your camcorder, drain the charge completely. Do this 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 length of time you can use the battery before needing to recharge it. - Carry the supplied USB cable and 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 power adaptor after use. - Store the battery in a stable, cool, and dry place. (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. - Each battery’s life is affected by storage, and operating and environmental conditions. 24 Basic operation of the camcorder TURNING YOUR CAMCORDER ON/OFF 1 Open the LCD screen and press the [Power ( )] button to turn on the camcorder. • Set the [Lens cover open/close] switch to open ( ). 2 To turn off the camcorder, press the [Power ( )] button.

SDHC (4GB~32GB) Usable memory card SDXC (Up to 64GB) SD (1GB~2GB) Protection tab Terminals 32 Getting ready to start recording Handling a memory card • 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. • If you modify the name of a file or folder stored in the memory card with your PC, your camcorder may not recognise the modified file. • The memory card does not support any data recovery mode. Therefore, care should be taken to prevent the memory card from being damaged while recording. • 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 re-formatting may cause trouble with recording and/or playback. Samsung is not responsible for damage to recorded contents caused by improper formatting. • You have to format newly-purchased memory cards, memory cards with data that your camcorder cannot recognise, or cards with data saved by other devices. Note that formatting erases all data on the memory card. Erased 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. • 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. • Be careful to keep the memory card out of the reach of children, who might swallow it. • 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 avoid data loss that can be caused by moving the card or by static electricity. • After a period of use, the memory card may get warm. This is normal and is not a malfunction. The camcorder supports SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards, giving you a wider choice of cards! The data storage speed of cards may differ, depending on 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 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 on a low speed card, 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 and quality of the recording may be lower than the value you set. page 53 The higher the video resolution and quality, the more memory the camcorder uses. 33 Getting ready to start recording RECORDABLE TIME AND CAPACITY Recordable time available for video Resolution Storage media capacity 1GB 2GB 4GB 8GB 16GB 32GB 64GB 1280X720/25p 13 27 55 110 220 440 890 720X576/50p (16:9) 13 27 55 110 220 440 890 720X576/50p (4:3) 13 27 55 110 220 440 890 (Unit: Approximate minutes of recording) Recordable number of photos Resolution Storage media capacity 1GB 2GB 4GB 8GB 16GB 32GB 64GB 1696x954 (16:9) 1,650 3,290 6,630 9,999 9,999 9,999 9,999 1280x720 (16:9) 2,270 4,550 9,160 9,999 9,999 9,999 9,999 1600x1200 (4:3) 1,520 3,030 6,110 9,999 9,999 9,999 9,999 800x600 (4:3) 2,990 5,970 9,999 9,999 9,999 9,999 9,999 (Unit: Approximate number of images) 1GB ≒ 1,000,000,000 bytes : Actual formatted capacity may be less as the internal firmware uses a portion of the memory. • Your recordable time and capacity and recordable number of photos may differ from the figures in the tables depending on your subject and actual recording conditions. • The higher the resolution, the more memory is used. • Lower resolution increases the recording time, but the image quality may suffer. • The bit rate automatically adjusts to the recording image.
