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
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.
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.

Serious malfunctioning
How to Handle a CD-ROM
If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit
immediately and consult your local JVC
dealer.
When requesting repairs for malfunctioning by
your dealer or JVC service centre, be sure to
bring your camera together with the recording
medium. If one of them is not included, the
cause cannot be diagnosed, and the repair
cannot be made properly.
● Take care not to soil or scratch the mirror surface
(opposite to the printed surface). Do not write
anything or put a sticker on either the front or
back surface. If the CD-ROM gets dirty, gently
wipe it with a soft cloth outward from the centre
hole.
● Do not use conventional disc cleaners or
cleaning spray.
● Do not bend the CD-ROM or touch its mirror
surface.
● Do not store your CD-ROM in a dusty, hot or
humid environment. Keep it away from direct
sunlight.
The camera is a microcomputer-controlled
device. External noise and interference (from
a TV, a radio, etc.) might prevent it from
functioning properly. In such cases, first
disconnect its power supply unit (battery pack,
AC adapter, etc.) and wait a few minutes and
then re-connect it and proceed as usual from
the beginning.
