produce sounds in decibel ranges that  
may cause hearing loss for a normal  
person, even for exposure less than a  
minute. The higher decibel ranges are  
offered for those that may have already  
experienced some hearing loss.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your  
hearing ‘comfort level’ adapts to higher  
volumes of sound. So after prolonged  
listening, what sounds ‘normal’ can  
actually be loud and harmful to your  
hearing. To guard against this, set your  
volume to a safe level before your hearing  
adapts and leave it there.  
1 Important  
Safety  
a Read these instructions.  
b Keep these instructions.  
c Heed all warnings.  
d Follow all instructions.  
e Do not use this apparatus near water.  
f Clean only with dry cloth.  
To establish a safe volume level:  
Set your volume control at a low setting.  
Slowly increase the sound until you can  
hear it comfortably and clearly, without  
distortion.  
g Do not block any ventilation openings.  
Install in accordance with the  
manufacturer’s instructions.  
h Do not install near any heat sources  
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,  
or other apparatus (including amplifiers)  
that produce heat.  
Listen for reasonable periods of time:  
Prolonged exposure to sound, even  
at normally ‘safe’ levels, can also cause  
hearing loss.  
i Only use attachments/accessories  
Be sure to use your equipment  
reasonably and take appropriate breaks.

or has been dropped.  
Be sure to observe the following guidelines  
when using your headphones.  
Listen at reasonable volumes for  
reasonable periods of time.  
Be careful not to adjust the volume as  
your hearing adapts.  
Do not turn up the volume so high that  
you can’t hear what’s around you.  
You should use caution or temporarily  
discontinue use in potentially hazardous  
situations. Do not use headphones while  
operating a motorized vehicle, cycling,  
skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traffic

How do I charge the camcorder?  
camcorder again, and set-up will start  
again.  
You can charge the camcorder via the  
USB pop-out connector. When you  
connect it to your PC/laptop it will  
automatically charge. You can also plug  
the camcorder via the pop-out USB into  
a USB charger.  
Why does the camcorder sometimes not  
record the right color?  
To record both indoors and outdoors,  
and not having to change any settings,  
the camcorder has an automatic white-  
balance correction. This enables you  
to record both indoors and outdoors  
where the amount of light in the  
environment changes. If you move fast  
from outdoors to indoors, the camcorder  
might need some time to correct that,  
and in extreme cases the colors might  
seem a bit unnatural. However, after  
a few seconds this will be corrected  
automatically by the camcorder.  
How long do I have to charge the camcorder?  
The camcorder is fully charged for first  
usage. The camcorder charge time when  
connected to your PC/laptop is 3 hours.  
When you charge it via USB adaptor, the  
charge time is 2 hours.  
How do I fast-forward or rewind on the  
camcorder?  
You can fast-forward during play of a  
movie by pressing the right-button for 2  
seconds. You can rewind during play of  
a movie by pressing the left-button for 2  
seconds.  
How do I connect it to aWindows PC/laptop?  
Connect the camcorder to your PC/  
laptop via USB. The USB pop-out  
connector is strong enough to support  
the camcorder when it is plugged into  
the PC’s USB port. For easy sharing and  
editing, install the software program  
(Media Impression HD) that comes with  
the camcorder.  
Can I connect the camcorder directly toTV,  
DVD/Blu-ray player or Home Cinema set via  
their USB-port?  
The USB plug is designed to share your  
videos/pictures to your PC or Laptop.  
You can plug the CAM100 directly into  
your TV, DVD/Blu-ray player or Home  
cinema set (called the host from this  
point on), and it will play the pictures that  
are stored on the CAM100. To play the  
videos from the CAM100, it depends if  
your host supports the file format H.264  
of the CAM100. Most Blu-ray enabled  
players are able to play this format.  
How do I connect it to a Mac?  
The camcorder works with the Mac via  
USB. The USB pop-out connector is  
strong enough to support the camcorder  
when it is plugged into the USB port.  
The camcorder works great with the  
iMovie software, which is part of the  
iLife package that comes with your Mac.  
To transfer videos using iMovie, simply  
connect the camcorder to your Mac via  
USB, launch iMovie and start importing  
by clicking the camcorder icon. Select  
‘Use original quality’ to ensure the best  
quality, and to maintain file sizes at an  
optimum.  
Camcorder stopped responding?  
In the unlikely event that your camcorder  
stops responding, you can manually reset  
it. The reset button is located under  
the HDMI headphone/AV out cover.  
There you see a small opening above  
the HDMI connection. Please use a small  
prying object (like a pen) to insert and  
press gently for resetting. After you have  
reset the camcorder, please turn on the  
What is HD?  
HD stands for High Definition. The  
camcorder captures videos in high  
definition (720p), which is also the  
14 EN  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
resolution that HD TV programs are  
broadcast in. “720” refers to the display  
resolution, in terms of the number of  
horizontal lines onscreen. “p” stands  
for progressive scan, or the sequential  
appearance of the lines in each frame. HD  
720p gives video quality that is superior  
to that found in typical mobile phones  
and digital cameras.  
Tips on video making  
You can easily look back on fun moments  
and relive them with the camcorder. To  
enjoy these memories to the fullest, here  
are some simple video tips:  
When capturing videos, hold your  
camcorder steady in your hand  
Don’t move too fast when panning  
(i.e. moving the camera horizontally)  
as it will be hard to follow what is  
captured when you review the video  
Try shooting from different angles  
– for example, from the side, from  
the front, or even from below. You  
can easily join the different video  
segments together with the PC  
software included  
How do I play my videos onTV?  
To play back on TV, please use an HDMI  
connector (mini HDMI to standard  
HDMI) if your TV accepts HDMI input, or  
use the video-out cable provided.  
Why is there no lens cover?  
The camcorder comes without a lens  
cover, keeping it simple to use and  
fuss-free. It is made of robust material  
that doesn’t scratch under normal  
usage. A travel pouch and a lens cloth  
are provided, allowing you to keep the  
camcorder clean.  
What format does the camcorder record in?  
The camcorder uses the same video  
format as Blu-ray players and discs –  
H.264. This highly sophisticated format  
delivers superb HD picture quality.  
What does pre-record mean that is in the  
setting?  
The pre-record button is designed to  
let you never miss a moment. When  
you enable the pre-record function, the  
camcorder will record video 3 seconds  
before you have pressed the record  
button. So when you play-back the  
recorded film, you will automatically  
see the first 3 seconds before you have  
pressed the record button. This can  
be useful when filming unexpected  
moments. The pre-record function will  
not drain battery life, it will operate as  
normal.
