✤

The continuous recording times given in the table are approximate. Actual recording time depends on usage.

Notes:

✤

The battery pack should be recharged in a room temperature that is between 0°C(32°F) and 40°C(104°F).

It should never be charged in a room temperature that is below 0°C(32°F).

✤

The life and capacity of the battery pack will be reduced if it is used in temperatures below 0°C, even when it is fully recharged.

The life and capacity of the battery pack will be reduced if the battery pack is left in temperatures above 40°C(104°F) for a long

period, even when it is fully recharged.

✤

Do not put the battery pack near any heat source (fire or flames, for example).

Battery Level Display

✤

The battery level display indicates the amount of power remaining in the battery pack.

1. Fully charged

2. 10~40% consumed

3. 40~60% consumed

4. 60~80% consumed (prepare a charged one)

5. 80~95% consumed (change the battery)

6. 100% consumed

(camcorder will turn off soon, change the battery as soon as possible)

✤

Please refer to the table on page 20 for approximate continuous recording time.

The recording time is affected by environmental temperature and conditions.

The recording time becomes very short in a cold environment.

The continuous recording time in the operating instructions is measured under the condition of using a fully charged

battery pack at 25°C(77°F). As the environmental temperature and conditions may be different when you actually use the

camcorder, the remaining battery time may not be the same as the approximate continuous recording times given in these

instructions.

Tips for Battery Identification.

A charge mark is provided on the battery pack to help you remember whether it has been charged

or not.

Two colors are provided (red and black) you may choose which one indicates charged and which

indicates discharged.

Note: The charge mark does not affect the battery’s charge status.

Zooming In and Out

✤ Zoom works in CAMERA mode only.

✤ Zooming is a recording technique that lets you change the size of the subject in the picture. For more professional looking record-

ings, do not use the zoom function too often.

✤ You can also choose from two zoom speeds to suit different needs :

✤ Gradual zoom (9~12 seconds from TELE/WIDE to WIDE/TELE)

✤ High-Speed zoom (3~6 seconds from TELE/WIDE to WIDE/TELE)

✤ Use these features for different shots; please note that overuse of the zoom feature can lead to unprofessional looking results and a

reduction of battery pack usage time.

1. Move the zoom lever a little for a gradual zoom, move it further for a

high-speed zoom.

Your zooming is monitored on the OSD.

2. T (Telephoto) side:

Subject appears closer.

3. W (Wide angle) side:

Subject appears further away.

Note: MACRO

If you cannot obtain sharp focus in telephoto zoom, move the lever to the “W” side until the focus sharpens.

You can record a subject that is at least 1 mm away from the lens surface in the wide angle position.
