To record still pictures clearly  
When zooming in on the subject with a magnification of 4k or higher, it is difficult to reduce the slight  
shaking from holding this unit by hand. We recommend decreasing the zoom magnification and  
approaching the subject when recording.  
When recording still pictures, hold the unit firmly with your hands and keep your arms stationary at  
your side so as not to shake the unit.  
You can record stable pictures without shaking by using a tripod and the remote control.

About the focus indication  
The focus indication does not appear in manual focus mode.  
Focus on a subject manually when it is not easily focused.  
You can record still pictures even if the focus indication does not appear, but pictures may be  
recorded without being focused.  
The focus indication does not appear or has difficulty displaying in the following cases.  
jWhen the zoom magnification is high.  
jWhen the unit is shaken.  
jWhen the subject is moving.  
jWhen the subject stands in front of a light source.  
jWhen close subjects and far subjects are included in the same scene.  
jWhen the scene is dark.  
jWhen there is a bright part in the scene.  
jWhen the scene is filled with only horizontal lines.

When storing the unit in a cupboard or cabinet,  
it is recommended that you place a desiccant  
(silica gel) in with it.  
When you travel, do not forget to bring an AC  
adaptor so that you can recharge the batteries  
at your destination.  
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to  
see if the terminals are damaged.  
About the battery  
Attaching a battery with damaged terminals  
can damage the unit or AC adaptor.  
The battery used in this unit is a rechargeable  
lithium-ion battery. It is susceptible to humidity  
and temperature and the effect increases the  
more the temperature rises or falls. In cold areas,  
the full charge indication may not appear or the  
low battery indication may appear for about  
5 minutes after starting use. At high  
Do not throw old battery into fire.  
Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may  
result in an explosion.  
If the operating time is very short even after the  
battery has been recharged, the battery has  
worn out. Please purchase a new battery.  
temperatures, the protection function may be  
triggered, making it impossible to use the unit.  
Be sure to detach the battery after use.  
If the battery is left attached, a minute amount  
of current continues to flow even if the unit’s  
power is off. Keeping the unit in this state may  
result in over discharge of the battery. This  
may result in you not being able to use the  
battery even after it is charged.  
The battery should be stored in the vinyl bag  
so metal does not come into contact with the  
terminals.  
About the AC adaptor  
If the battery is warm, charging requires more  
time than normal.  
If the temperature of the battery is extremely  
high or extremely low, the CHARGE lamp may  
continue flashing, and the battery may not be  
charged. Wait until the appropriate  
temperature is restored before charging the  
battery again. If the battery still fails to charge,  
something may be wrong with the battery or  
AC adaptor. Contact your dealer.  
The battery should be stored in a cool place  
free from humidity, with as constant  
temperature as possible. (Recommended  
temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C, Recommended  
humidity: 40% to 60%)  
Extremely high temperatures or low  
temperatures will shorten the life of the battery.  
If the battery is kept in high-temperature, high-  
humidity, or oily-smoky places, the terminals  
may rust and cause malfunctions.  
If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio  
reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC  
adaptor 1 m or more away from the radio.  
When using the AC adaptor, it may generate  
whirring sounds. However, this is normal.  
After use, be sure to disconnect the AC  
adaptor. (If it is left connected, a minute  
amount of current is consumed.)  
To store the battery for a long period of time,  
we recommend you charge it once every year  
and store it again after you have completely  
used up the charged capacity.  
Dust and other matter attached to the battery  
terminals should be removed.  
Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor  
and battery clean.  
Put this unit near the outlet to make it easy  
for the interrupting device (plug) to reach it.  
About the SD card  
Prepare spare batteries when going out for  
recording.  
The memory capacity indicated on the label of  
an SD card is the total of the capacity for  
copyright protection and management and the  
capacity which can be used on the unit, a  
computer etc.  
Prepare batteries enough to last for 3 to 4  
times the period during you want to record  
pictures in. In cold places such as a ski resort,  
the period during which you can record  
pictures is shortened.

ensure that condensation does not form. If it  
does form, take the actions described below.  
When inserting or removing the SD card,  
always set the OFF/ON switch to OFF.  
Causes of condensation  
Condensation takes place when the ambient  
temperature or humidity is changed as  
follows.  
While this unit accesses the SD card (while  
/
is being displayed/the access lamp  
is lit), do not open the card slot cover and  
remove the SD card, operate the mode dial,

When cool wind from an air conditioner is  
directly blown onto this unit.  
After summer afternoon showers of rain.  
When this unit is in a very humid place where  
the air is thick with steam. (e.g. a heated  
swimming pool)  
About the miniSD Card  
Be sure to insert miniSD Cards in the  
dedicated card adaptor before use. Inserting a  
card in this unit without the adaptor may  
damage the unit or the card.  
Do not insert an empty card adaptor in this  
unit. Do not leave the adaptor in this unit while  
inserting or removing miniSD Cards. This may  
cause the unit to malfunction.  
When this unit is taken to a location with a  
significant temperature difference such as  
from a cold place to a hot place.  
LCD monitor  
If, for example, you have used this unit for  
recording on a ski slope and are taking it into a  
heated room, place the unit inside a plastic bag,  
remove as much of the air from inside the bag as  
possible, then seal the bag. Leave the unit for  
about an hour in the room so the temperature of  
the unit is close to the ambient temperature of  
the room, then use it.  
When the LCD monitor gets dirty, wipe it with a  
dry soft cloth.  
In a place with drastic temperature changes,  
condensation may form on the LCD monitor.  
Wipe it with soft dry cloth.  
When the unit has become very cold, for  
example due to storage in a cold area, its LCD  
monitor will be slightly darker than usual  
immediately after the power is turned on. The  
normal brightness will be restored when the  
unit’s internal temperature rises.  
What to do if the lens is fogged up.  
Remove the battery or AC adaptor and leave the  
unit for about 1 hour. When the unit becomes  
close to the ambient temperature, the fog  
disappears naturally.  
Extremely high precision technology is  
employed to produce the LCD Monitor screen  
featuring a total of approximately 123,000  
pixels. The result is more than 99.99%  
effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the  
pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is  
not a malfunction and does not affect the  
recorded picture.  
Explanation of terms  
Automatic white balance  
White balance adjustment recognises the colour  
of light and adjusts so the white colour will  
become a purer white. The unit determines the  
hue of light that comes through the lens and  
white balance sensor, thereby judging the  
recording condition, and selects the closest hue  
setting.  
About condensation  
If condensation forms on the unit, the lens will  
cloud up, the HDD may be damaged and the unit  
103  
LSQT1363  
Others  
This is called automatic white balance  
adjustment.  
However, since the unit only stores white colour  
information under certain light sources,  
automatic white balance adjustment does not  
function normally under other light sources.  
White balance adjustment determines the white  
colour under different light sources. By  
recognising which is the white colour under  
sunlight and which is the white colour under a  
fluorescent light, the unit can adjust the balance  
among the other colours.  
Since the white colour is the reference for all the  
colours (that make up light), the unit can record  
pictures in a natural hue if it can recognise the  
reference colour white.

Recording distant and close-up objects at the  
same time  
Since the unit focuses on whatever is at the  
centre of the screen, it is difficult to bring the  
background into focus when close-up objects are  
placed in focus. When recording people with  
distant mountains in the background, you cannot  
focus on both the subject which is close-up and  
the objects which are in the distance.  
Outside of the effective range of automatic white  
balance adjustment, the image will become  
reddish or bluish. Even within the effective range  
of automatic white balance adjustment, the  
automatic white balance adjustment may not  
function properly if there is more than one light  
source. For light outside the functional automatic  
white balance adjustment range, use the manual  
white balance adjustment mode.  
Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty  
window  
The subject behind the window will not be  
focused because the focus is on the dirty  
window.  
Similarly, when recording something on the  
opposite side of a road with heavy traffic, a  
vehicle that happens to pass by may be brought  
into focus.  
White balance  
The images recorded by the unit may become  
bluish or reddish under the influence of certain  
light sources. To avoid such phenomena, adjust  
the white balance.  
Recording a subject that is surrounded by  
objects with glossy surfaces or by highly  
reflective objects  
Since whatever is shiny or glistens is brought into  
focus, it is hard to focus on the subject to be  
104  
LSQT1363  
Others  
recorded. The focus may become blurry when  
recording subjects at the beach, at night views or  
in scenes involving fireworks or special lights.  
Recording a subject in dark surroundings  
The unit cannot focus correctly because the light  
information that comes through the lens  
decreases considerably.  
Recording a fast-moving subject  
As the focus lens-inside moves mechanically, it  
cannot keep up with a fast-moving subject.  
When, for example, recording a sports event with  
fast moving subjects, the focus may lose its  
sharpness.  
Recording a subject with little contrast  
It is easy to bring subjects with a sharp contrast  
or vertical lines or stripes into focus. This means  
that a subject with little contrast, such as a white  
wall, may become blurry because the unit  
achieves focus based upon the vertical lines of  
an image.  
SD Speed Class Rating Class 2  
This indicates a Class 2 rating in the high speed  
standards (SD Speed Class) stipulated by the  
SD Card Association for high speed writing  
between SD compatible products and SD  
Memory cards.  
If you use a Class 2 card compatible with the SD  
Speed Class in an SD compatible product, you  
can obtain stable recording by using a SD card  
conformed with Class 2 or more.
