Please read the following instructions before  
using the camera.  
Reset the camera if it does not operate  
correctly  
This camera uses a microcomputer. Factors such  
as background noise and interference can prevent  
it from operating correctly. If the camera does not  
operate correctly, reset the camera. (੬ pg. 60)  
Make a backup of important recorded data  
It is recommended to copy your important recorded  
data to a DVD or other recording media for storage.  
(੬ pg. 49)  
If a problem occurs with the SD card, bring  
the card together with the camera for  
repairs  
Make a trial recording  
Before the actual recording of important data,  
make a trial recording and play back the recorded  
data to check that the video and sound have been  
recorded correctly.  
When requesting repairs for breakdowns by your  
dealer or JVC service centre, be sure to bring your  
camera together with the SD card. If one of them is  
not included, the cause cannot be diagnosed, and  
the repair cannot be made properly.  
Check the compatibility of recording  
media  
Precautions on handling batteries  
● The SD cards that are guaranteed to work with  
this camera are those by Panasonic, TOSHIBA,  
pqi (still image only) and SanDisk. If other media  
are used, they may fail to record data correctly, or  
they may lose data that had already been  
recorded.  
● When discarding batteries, environmental  
problems must be considered and the local rules  
or laws governing the disposal of these batteries  
must be strictly followed.  
● If the camera is subjected to electrostatic  
discharge, turn the power off before using it  
again.  
● For video recording, use a high-speed SD card  
(at least 10 MB/s).  
● This product includes patented and other  
proprietary technology and will only operate with  
a JVC Data Battery. Use the JVC BN-VF707U/  
VF714U/VF733U battery packs. Using generic  
non-JVC batteries can cause damage to the  
internal charging circuitry.  
● If the battery operation time remains extremely  
short even after the battery is fully charged, the  
battery is worn out and needs to be replaced.  
Please purchase a new one.  
● Since the AC adapter processes electricity  
internally, it becomes warm during use. Be sure  
to use it only in well-ventilated areas.  
● After 5 minutes has elapsed in record-standby  
mode, the camera will automatically turn off its  
power supplied from the AC adapter. In this case,  
battery charge starts if the battery is attached to  
the camera.  
● MultiMediaCards are not supported.  
Format recording medium before use  
Before using this camera, format the built-in hard  
disk or SD cards. This will also ensure stable  
speeds and operation when accessing the  
recording medium. (੬ pg. 41)  
Make sure you hold the camera correctly  
during recording  
Do not cover the area near the lens, stereo  
microphone, or camera sensor with your finger or  
other object while recording. (੬ pg. 10)  
When a certain length of time passes  
without operation  
● When using the battery, the power will turn off  
automatically to conserve power. Use the power  
switch to turn on the power again.  
● When using the AC adapter, the access lamp  
lights up, and the LCD turns off (the camera  
enters the sleep mode).  
INFORMATION  
Video recording (with sound) that was made  
especially for demonstration at shops might be  
remaining on the hard disk of the camera that you  
have purchased.  
To delete this video file, please refer to “Deleting  
Files on Menu Screen” (੬ pg. 38)/“Formatting a  
Recording Medium” (੬ pg. 41).

Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is particularly dirty, dip the cloth into diluted mild soap  
and wring it out well before wiping. Then wipe again with a dry cloth.  
To clean the LCD monitor  
Wipe gently with a soft cloth. Be careful not to damage the monitor.  
To clean the lens  
Wipe gently with lens cleaning paper.  
NOTES:  
● Avoid using strong cleaning agents such as benzine or alcohol.  
● Cleaning should be done only after the battery pack has been removed or other power units have been  
disconnected.  
● Mould may form if the lens is left dirty.  
● When using a cleaner or chemically treated cloth, refer to the cautions for each product.

NOTES:  
Battery Packs  
● It is recommended that only genuine JVC  
The supplied battery  
pack is a lithium-ion  
battery. Before using  
the supplied battery  
pack or an optional  
battery pack, be sure  
to read the following  
cautions:  
batteries are used in this camera. Using generic  
non-JVC batteries can cause damage to the  
internal charging circuitry.  
● It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after  
charging, or after use.  
Temperature range specifications  
Charging: 10°C to 35°C  
Operation: 0°C to 40°C  
Storage: –20°C to 50°C  
Terminals  
● To avoid hazards  
...do not burn.  
...do not short-circuit the terminals. When  
transporting, make sure the provided battery  
cap is attached to the battery. If the battery cap  
is misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic bag.  
...do not modify or disassemble.  
● The lower the temperature, the longer the  
recharging takes.  
DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries  
apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat,  
as it may cause a fire or explosion.  
WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its  
terminals to come in contact with metals, as this  
can result in a short circuit and possibly start a fire.  
...do not expose the battery to temperatures  
exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the battery  
to overheat, explode or catch fire.  
...use only specified chargers.  
● To prevent damage and prolong service life  
...do not subject to unnecessary shock.  
...charge in an environment where temperatures  
are within the tolerances shown in “Temperature  
range specifications” (੬ pg. 67). This is a  
chemical reaction type battery — cooler  
temperatures impede chemical reaction, while  
warmer temperatures can prevent complete  
charging.  
To resume the original function of the accurate  
battery power indication  
If the battery power indication differs from the  
actual operating time, fully charge the battery, and  
then run it down. However this function may not  
work properly if the battery was used for a long  
period of time under extremely high/low  
temperature condition or charged too many times.  
...store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to  
high temperatures will increase natural  
discharge and shorten service life.  
...fully charge and then fully discharge the battery  
every 6 months when storing the battery pack  
over a long period time.  
...remove from charger or powered unit when not  
in use, as some machines use current even  
when switched off.
