00709C SCD200-USA+FRA(01~27) 2/5/04 8:44 AM Page 6 FRANÇAIS ENGLISH Notes and Safety Instructions Remarques et consignes de sécurité Notes regarding the rotation of the LCD screen Rotation de l’écran LCD Please rotate the LCD screen carefully as illustrated. Over rotation may cause damage to the inside of the hinge that connects the LCD screen to the Camcorder.

1. LCD screen closed.

2. Standard recording using the LCD

screen. ■ A LCD Monitor is opened applying a finger to LCD open knob.

3. Recording when looking at the

LCD screen from the top.

4. Recording when looking at the

LCD screen from the front.

5. Recording with the LCD screen

1. A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause

condensation to form inside the camcorder.

(DEW) protection feature is activated, leave the camcorder for at least two hours in a dry, warm room with the cassette compartment opened and the battery pack removed. Notes regarding CAMCORDER

1. Do not leave the camcorder exposed to high temperature

(above 60°C or 140°F). For example, in a parked car in the sun or exposed to direct sunlight.

2. Do not let the camcorder get wet.

Keep the camcorder away from rain, sea water, and any other form of moisture. If the camcorder gets wet, it may get damaged. Sometimes a malfunction due to exposure to liquids cannot be repaired.

Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record. To preserve battery power, keep your camcorder turned off when you are not operating it. If your camcorder is in CAM mode, and it is left in STBY mode without being operated for more than 5 minutes with a tape installed, it will automatically turn itself off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge. Make sure that the battery pack is fitted firmly into place. Dropping the battery pack may damage it. A brand new battery pack is not charged. Before using the battery pack, you need to charge it completely. It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD when making a long recordings, because the LCD uses up more battery power. Bloc batterie

• When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer. The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.

Do not film with the camera lens pointing directly at the sun. Direct sunlight can damage the CCD(Charge Coupled Device). Viseur électronique Notes regarding electronic viewfinder

1. Do not position the camcorder such that the viewfinder is pointing

towards the sun. Direct sunlight can damage the inside of the viewfinder. Be careful when placing the camcorder under sunlight or near a window exposed to sunlight.

1. The LCD display has been

manufactured using high precision technology. However, there may be tiny dots (red, blue or green in color) that appear on the LCD display. These dots are normal and do not affect the recorded picture in any way.

2. When you use the LCD display under direct sunlight or outdoors,

it maybe difficult to see the picture clearly. If this occurs, we recommend using the viewfinder.

3. Direct sunlight can damage the LCD monitor.

Poignée de soutien Notes regarding the hand strap

1. The lithium battery maintains the clock function and user settings;

even if the battery pack or AC adapter is removed.

2. The lithium battery for the camcorder lasts about 6 months under

normal operation from time of installation.

3. When the lithium battery becomes weak or dead, the date/time

indicator will display “---” when you set the DATE/TIME to ON. In this case, replace the lithium battery with a new one(type CR2025).

4. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.

Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

Digital data transfer function with IEEE1394 By incorporating the IEEE 1394 (i.LINK™ : i.LINK is a serial data transfer protocol and interconnectivity system, used to transmit DV data) high speed data transport port, both moving and still images can be transferred to a PC, making it possible to produce or edit various images. USB interface for digital image data transfer (SCD230/D250/D270 only) You can transfer images to a PC using the USB interface without an add-on card. PHOTO The PHOTO function lets you capture an object as a still along with sound, while in Camera mode. 800x Digital zoom Allows you to magnify an image up to 800 times its original size. Color TFT LCD A high-resolution color TFT LCD gives you clean, sharp images as well as the ability to review your recordings immediately. Digital Image Stabilizer (DIS) The DIS compensates for any handshake, reducing unstable images particularly at high magnification. Various digital effects The DSE (Digital Special Effects) allows you to give your films a special look by adding various special effects. Back Light Compensation (BLC) The BLC function compensates for the bright background behind a subject you're recording. Program AE The Program AE enables you to alter the shutter speed and aperture to suit the type of scene/action to be filmed. NITE PIX The NITE PIX function enables you to record a subject in a dark place. Digital Still Camera function (SCD230/D250/D270 only) ■ Using Memory Stick, you can easily record and playback standard still images. ■ You can transfer standard still images on the Memory Stick to your PC using the USB interface. MPEG Recording (SCD230/D250/D270 only) MPEG recording makes it possible to record video onto a Memory Stick. Fonctionnalités

Temps de charge You must use the lithium ion battery pack of SB-LSXXX type. The battery pack should be recharged in an environment of between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C). The battery pack should never be charged in a room temperature that is below 32°F (0°C). The life and capacity of the battery pack will be reduced if it is used in temperatures below 32°F (0°C) or left in temperatures above 104°F (40°C) 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). Do not disassemble, process, pressure, or heat the Battery Pack. Do not allow the + and - terminals of the battery pack to be shortcircuited. It may cause leakage, heat generation, induce fire and overheating.

The recording time becomes very short in a cold environment. The continuous recording times in the operating instructions are measured using a fully charged battery pack at 77°F(25°C). As the environmental temperature and conditions may differ 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.
