Getting to Know Your Camcorder  
Overview  
The Camcorder with 5 Mega Pixel sensor and 5X Optical Zoom Lens 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 8 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 HD resolution of 1080p. You can also connect it to an  
HDTV via HDMI cable, and easily playback recorded high-definition videos on the wide screen HDTV.  
Exposure and color balance can either be adjusted automatically or allowed to be changed manually. An  
2x/4x zoom increases user control over the movies and pictures you take.  
Built-in memory allows you to take pictures and movies without memory card. The memory card slot  
allows users to increase the storage capacity.  
Note  
Partial memory of the built-in memory is used for Firmware code.

Troubleshooting  
Troubleshooting  
1.If the LCD image is not clear when shooting, how can the focus be adjusted?  
Taking photos and the object is within 80cm, use Macro Mode which is the Submenu of Effect Mode.  
2.The flash is not working.  
The camcorder is in Macro Mode / The battery power is low.  
3.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 having wrong content inside. The way to solve this condition  
is to format SD card by camcorder instead of PC (Please refer to the detail Format instruction in Section 5).  
4.Why is Camcorder Flash not active when taking pictures?  
Make sure that the focus range is NOT set at Macro mode, as flash is disabled in this mode. Scroll  
through Picture mode and set Flash as Auto; note that Flash OFF is the default pre-set mode for normal  
picture - taking. In Auto mode camcorder flash fires ONLY when necessary (in dark setting as example).  
5.Why do some of my indoor pictures look blurry and dark?  
Camcorder extends pictures exposure time under low light/ indoor condition. Keep camcorder (and  
photographed subject) steady for several seconds when taking pictures. Shutter will sound when picture  
has been taken.  
6.How do I charge battery?  
Computer will not charge battery when connected. You must use ONLY the supplied AC charger.  
Camcorder must be turned OFF; blinking light confirms charging, but light is constant when charging  
has been completed.
