00792C SCD903 USA+FRA(01~27) 6/7/04 8:56 AM Page 6 ENGLISH FRANÇAIS Notes and Safety Instructions Notes regarding the rotation of the LCD screen 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

(plus de 60°C), par exemple, en plein soleil ou dans une voiture (above 60°C or 140°F). garée au soleil. For example, in a parked car in the sun or exposed to direct sunlight.

2. Ne mouillez pas votre caméscope.

2. Do not let the camcorder get wet.

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 CAMERA 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 located correctly and firmly in 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 long recordings, because the LCD uses up more battery power.

• 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). 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.

2. Do not pick up the camcorder using the viewfinder.

3. Excessive force when pulling the viewfinder out may damage it.

Notes regarding ‘Record’ or ‘Playback’ using the LCD

1. The LCD display has been

manufactured using high precision tech-nology. 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.

Notes regarding the hand strap

To ensure a steady picture during filming, check that the hand strap is properly adjusted. Do not force your hand into the hand strap as you could damage it. Objectif

00792C SCD903 USA+FRA(01~27) 6/7/04 8:56 AM Page 10 ENGLISH Notes and Safety Instructions Precautions regarding the Lithium battery

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. There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.

Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

Keep the LITHIUM BATTERY out of reach of children. Should a battery be swallowed, consult a doctor immediately. SERVICING Do not attempt to service this CAMCORDER yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. REPLACEMENT PARTS When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer and having the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

You can select the desired OSD Language among English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German and Italian. Digital data transfer function with IEEE1394 By incorporating the IEEE 1394 (i.LINK™ : i.LINK is a serial data transfer protocol and inter-connectivity 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 You can transfer still images/movies 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. 900x Digital zoom Allows you to magnify an image up to 900 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. Electronic Image Stabilizer (EIS) The EIS 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. Digital Still Camera function ■ 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. MJPEG Recording MJPEG recording makes it possible to record video onto a Memory Stick. Mega-pixel CCD Your camcorder incorporates a 1.0mega-pixel CCD. High-resolution still images can be recorded to a Memory Stick. Built-in Flash You can take natural-looking flash pictures with appropriate illumination using the built-in Flash. Fonctionnalités

Temps de charge 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.
