•
The camcorder is fully charged for first
usage.The camcorder charge time when

Where can I find an adaptor for CAM 300 to
charge the battery?
•
CAM300 can be charged via regular
USB adaptors, which are readily available
in electronic stores.The CAM300 is
compliant to the iPhone 4 adapter.
How much memory is needed for 1 hour of
Full HD recording?
•
The camcorder uses 4GB on average
for 1 hour of Full HD video. For a more
complex video recording (e.g. with lots of
motions in the video, or a lot of panning),
the camcorder will use more memory.This
is done to maintain the video quality, but
will increase the usage of memory.
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 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 camcorder again, and set-up will start
again.

balance correction.This enables you to
EN 15
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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.
What is Advanced Anti-shake?
•
Advanced anti-shake lets you take great
videos that you will always be proud to
share. Steady and undistorted videos are
ensured by gyro sensors that are armed
with advanced algorithms.The sensors take
measurements of the distance between
the ground and the camera lens, and
make the necessary corrections whenever
the camcorder wobbles.This advanced
technology gives you blur-free pictures
every time, letting you capture the best
moments in life in amazing videos.
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

software program (Media Impression HD)
that comes with the camcorder.
How do I play my videos onTV?
•
To play back onTV, please use an HDMI
connector (mini HDMI to standard HDMI)
if yourTV accepts HDMI input, or use the
video-out cable provided.
How do I connect it to a 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.
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.
Can I connect the camcorder directly toTV,
DVD/Blu-ray player or Home Cinema set via
their USB-port?
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.

videos/pictures to your PC or Laptop.You
can plug the CAM300 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 CAM300.To play the videos from the
CAM300, it depends if your host supports
the file format H.264 of the CAM300.
Most Blu-ray enabled players are able to
play this format.

Some video files cannot be edited.Why is
that?
•

cannot be edited.To edit video files on the
camcorder, set [Dual recording] to [Off]
before you record video (see 'Use your
camcorder' > 'Adjust settings').
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

the date of the replacement or repair for ninety (90) days or for
the remaining portion of the original product’s warranty,
whichever provides longer coverage for you. When a product or
