Getting to Know Your Camcorder
Overview
The camcorder with 5 Mega Pixel sensor can take H.264 movies. By way of using H.264 technology,
more videos can be taken within certain amount of memory. High quality images with up to 16 mega-
pixels can also be delivered smoothly. With a color LCD monitor, users can compose images and
examine them easily.
The camcorder also features movie recording at an HD resolution of 1920x1080. You can also connect
it to an HDTV via an HDMI cable, and easily playback the recorded high-definition videos on the wide
screen HDTV.
Moreover, the camcorder has an advanced uploading feature. With the exclusive built-in YouTube
Direct application, you can upload the videos captured by the camcorder to YouTube more effortlessly.
ISO sensitivity and color balance can either be adjusted automatically or changed manually. A 4x
digital zoom helps you to control over the movies and pictures you take.
The varied effect options, such as Time Lapse and Slow Motion, make recording more fun.
The built-in memory allows you to take pictures and to record movies without a memory card. The
memory card slot allows users to increase the storage capacity.
Note
Partial memory of the built-in memory is used for the camcorder’s Firmware code.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
1. If the LCD preview is not clear while shooting, how can the focus be adjusted?
Try to switch between Macro and Normal Mode.
2. The files on the memory card do not display smoothly when the LCD shows the “!” marking.
The “!” means the SD card is low speed or is having wrong content inside. The way to solve this
condition is to format SD card by the camcorder instead of a PC (Please refer to the detailed Format
instruction in Section 5).
3. Why do some of my indoor pictures look blurry and dark?
The camcorder extends picture exposure time under low light/ indoor condition. Keep the camcorder
(and the target subject) steady for several seconds when taking pictures. The shutter will sound when
pictures are being taken.
4. How do I charge battery?
You must use the supplied AC charger or the USB cable.
The camcorder must be turned OFF; blinking light confirms charging, and the light becomes constant
when the charging has been completed. Then, the light will turn itself off automatically after 5 minutes
(In AC charging Mode)..
