recording.
ENJOYING IMAGES WITH FULL HIGH DEFINITION (HD) QUALITY
You can view recorded movies with Full HD (high definition) image quality.
• This HD camcorder offers 1080i resolution with a sharper image than previous SD camcorders (576i).
It also supports widescreen recording with an aspect ratio of 16:9.
• Recordings made in Full HD (high definition) image quality will fit widescreen (16:9) HDTVs.
If your TV is not a high definition TV, movies with HD (high definition) image quality will be displayed with SD
(standard definition) image quality.
- To enjoy Full HD-quality images, you need a TV supporting 1920x1080i input.
(Refer to your TV user manual.)
- To enjoy HD-quality images, use an HDMI or Component cable.
The multi-AV cable does not support HD-quality images so it down-converts them to SD-quality images.
• The image is recorded in 720x576p when the quality is set to SD in the HD camcorder.
Movies recorded at SD (standard definition) image quality cannot be converted to HD (high definition).

1/1.8” CMOS sensor provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video (1920 lines of horizontal resolution-
HD mode or 720 lines of horizontal resolution-SD mode) and still image performance (4.0 mega pixels). Unlike
traditional CCD imagers, CMOS sensors require less power, providing better battery performance.
High-capacity embedded flash memory
The HD camcorder has built-in high capacity flash memory that allows you to record movie or photo images.
H.264 (MPEG4 part10/AVC) encoding
The latest video compression technology, H.264 uses a high compression rate to sharply increase the recordable
time for the same size storage.
HDMI interface (Anynet+ supported)
• If you have an HDTV with an HDMI jack, you can enjoy a clearer and sharper
image when compared to a standard definition TV.
• This HD camcorder supports Anynet+.
Anynet+ is an AV network system that enables you to control all connected
Samsung AV devices with an Anynet+ supported Samsung TV remote
control. Refer to the corresponding TV’s user manual for more details.
2.7” wide (16:9) touch panel LCD screen (230K pixels)
The 2.7” wide (16:9) LCD screen provides excellent viewing clarity with improved
resolution. The 230K pixel LCD screen rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing
angles providing sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback, and the widescreen
format makes shooting in 16:9 mode and composing shots even easier.
Touch panel adopted
You can play recorded images and set functions by simply tapping on the LCD screen.
Swivel handle for free style shooting
You can adjust the swivel handle’s angle up to 150° to suit the recording situation.

IMPORTANT NOTE
• Handle the liquid crystal display (LCD) with care:
- The LCD is a very delicate display device: Do not press its surface with force, hit it or prick it with a sharp object.
- If you push the LCD surface, unevenness in display may occur. If unevenness does not disappear, turn the
camcorder off, wait for a few moments, and then turn it on again.
- Do not place the camcorder with the open LCD screen down.
- Close the LCD screen when not using the camcorder.
Liquid crystal display:
- The LCD screen of this product uses high precision technology. Among the total number of pixels (approx.
230,000 pixels for LCD screen), 0.01% or less pixels may be missing (black dots) or may remain lit as coloured
dots (red, blue, green). This shows the limitations of the current technology, and does not indicate a fault that will
interfere with recording.
- The LCD screen will be slightly dimmer than usual when the camcorder is at low temperature, as in cold areas,
or immediately after power is turned on. Normal brightness will be restored when the temperature inside the
camcorder rises. This has no effect on the images in the storage media, so there is no cause for concern.
• Hold the HD camcorder correctly:
Do not hold the HD camcorder by the LCD screen when lifting it: the LCD screen could detach and the HD
camcorder may fall.
• Do not subject the HD camcorder to impact:
- This HD camcorder is a precision machine. Take great care that you do not strike it against a hard object or let it
fall.
- Do not use the HD camcorder on a tripod (not supplied) in a place where it is subject to severe vibration or impact.
• No sand or dust!
Fine sand or dust entering the HD camcorder or AC power adaptor could cause malfunctions or defects.
• No water or oil!
Water or oil entering the HD camcorder or AC power adaptor could cause electric shock, malfunctions or defects.
• Heat on surface of product:
The surface of the HD camcorder will be slightly warm when in use, but this does not indicate a fault.
• Be careful of ambient temperature:
- Using the HD camcorder in a place where the temperature is over 60°C (140°F) or under 0°C (32°F) will result in
abnormal recording/playback.
- Do not leave the HD camcorder on a beach or in a closed vehicle where the temperature is very high for a long
time: This could cause a malfunction.
precautions when using
viii_ English

- Do not leave the HD camcorder with the LCD screen exposed to direct sunlight: This could cause a
malfunction.
• Do not use the HD camcorder near TV or radio:
This could cause noise to appear on the TV screen or on radio broadcasts.
• Do not use the HD camcorder near strong radio waves or magnetism:
If the HD camcorder is used near strong radio waves or magnetism, such as near a radio transmitter or electric
appliances, noise could enter video and audio that are being recorded. During playback of normally recorded
video and audio, noise may also be present in picture and sound.
• Do not expose the HD camcorder to soot or steam:
Thick soot or steam could damage the HD camcorder case or cause a malfunction.
• Do not use the HD camcorder near corrosive gas:
If the HD camcorder is used in a place where there is dense exhaust gas generated by gasoline or diesel engines,
or corrosive gas such as hydrogen sulfide, the external or internal terminals could corrode, disabling normal
operation, or the battery connecting terminals could corrode, so that power will not turn on.
