With the bundled image editing software, you can easily edit video and create your own DVDs.

Direct Printing

( pg. 48)

If your printer is compatible with

PictBridge, still images can be printed easily by connecting the camera directly to the printer with a USB cable.

Please read the following instructions before using the camera.

Make a backup of important recorded data

It is recommended to copy your important recorded data to a DVD or other recording media for storage. (ZF pg. 49)

Make a trial recording

Before the actual recording of important data, make a trial recording and play back the recorded data to check that the video and sound have been recorded correctly.

Check the compatibility of recording media

• The SD cards that are guaranteed to work with this camera are those by Panasonic, TOSHIBA, pqi (still image only) and SanDisk. If other media are used, they may fail to record data correctly, or they may lose data that had already been recorded.
• For video recording, use a high-speed SD card (at least 10 MB/s).
• MultiMediaCards are not supported.

Format recording medium before use

Before using this camera, format the built-in hard disk or SD cards. This will also ensure stable speeds and operation when accessing the recording medium. (T pg. 41)

Make sure you hold the camera correctly during recording

Do not cover the area near the lens, stereo microphone, or camera sensor with your finger or other object while recording. (CP pg. 10)

When a certain length of time passes without operation

• When using the battery, the power will turn off automatically to conserve power. Use the power switch to turn on the power again.
• When using the AC adapter, the access lamp lights up, and the LCD turns off (the camera enters the sleep mode).

Reset the camera if it does not operate correctly

This camera uses a microcomputer. Factors such as background noise and interference can prevent it from operating correctly. If the camera does not operate correctly, reset the camera. (T pg. 60)

If a problem occurs with the SD card, bring the card together with the camera for repairs

When requesting repairs for breakdowns by your dealer or JVC service centre, be sure to bring your camera together with the SD card. If one of them is not included, the cause cannot be diagnosed, and the repair cannot be made properly.

Precautions on handling batteries

• When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be strictly followed.
• If the camera is subjected to electrostatic discharge, turn the power off before using it again.
• This product includes patented and other proprietary technology and will only operate with a JVC Data Battery. Use the JVC BN-VF707U/VF714U/VF733U battery packs. Using generic non-JVC batteries can cause damage to the internal charging circuitry.
• If the battery operation time remains extremely short even after the battery is fully charged, the battery is worn out and needs to be replaced. Please purchase a new one.
• Since the AC adapter processes electricity internally, it becomes warm during use. Be sure to use it only in well-ventilated areas.
• After 5 minutes has elapsed in record-standby mode, the camera will automatically turn off its power supplied from the AC adapter. In this case, battery charge starts if the battery is attached to the camera.

INFORMATION

Video recording (with sound) that was made especially for demonstration at shops might be remaining on the hard disk of the camera that you have purchased.

Cleaning the Camera

Before cleaning, turn off the camera and remove the battery pack and AC adapter.

To clean the exterior

Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is particularly dirty, dip the cloth into diluted mild soap and wring it out well before wiping. Then wipe again with a dry cloth.

To clean the LCD monitor

Wipe gently with a soft cloth. Be careful not to damage the monitor.

To clean the lens

Wipe gently with lens cleaning paper.

NOTES:

• Avoid using strong cleaning agents such as benzine or alcohol.
• Cleaning should be done only after the battery pack has been removed or other power units have been disconnected.
• Mould may form if the lens is left dirty.
• When using a cleaner or chemically treated cloth, refer to the cautions for each product.

Battery Packs

The supplied battery pack is a lithium-ion battery. Before using the supplied battery pack or an optional battery pack, be sure to read the following cautions:

• To avoid hazards ...do not burn.

...do not short-circuit the terminals. When transporting, make sure the provided battery cap is attached to the battery. If the battery cap is misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic bag.
...do not modify or disassemble.
...do not expose the battery to temperatures exceeding 60^ , as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.
...use only specified chargers.

• To prevent damage and prolong service life ...do not subject to unnecessary shock.
  ...charge in an environment where temperatures are within the tolerances shown in "Temperature range specifications" (pp. 67). This is a chemical reaction type battery — cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures can prevent complete charging.
  ...store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to high temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten service life.
  ... fully charge and then fully discharge the battery every 6 months when storing the battery pack over a long period time.
  ...remove from charger or powered unit when not in use, as some machines use current even when switched off.

NOTES:

• It is recommended that only genuine JVC batteries are used in this camera. Using generic non-JVC batteries can cause damage to the internal charging circuitry.
  It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or after use.

Temperature range specifications

Charging: 10^ to 35^

Operation: 0^ to 40^

Storage: -20^ to 50^

• The lower the temperature, the longer the recharging takes.

DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may cause a fire or explosion.

WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a short circuit and possibly start a fire.

To resume the original function of the accurate battery power indication

If the battery power indication differs from the actual operating time, fully charge the battery, and then run it down. However this function may not work properly if the battery was used for a long period of time under extremely high/low temperature condition or charged too many times.

Recording Medium

• Be sure to follow the guidelines below to prevent corruption or damage to your recorded data.

• Do not bend or drop the recording medium, or subject it to strong pressure, jolts or vibrations.

• Do not splash the recording medium with water.
• Do not use, replace, or store the recording medium in locations that are exposed to strong static electricity or electrical noise.
• Do not turn off the camera power or remove the battery or AC adapter during shooting, playback, or when otherwise accessing the recording medium.
• Do not bring the recording medium near objects that have a strong magnetic field or that emit strong electromagnetic waves.
• Do not store the recording medium in locations with high temperature or high humidity.

• Do not touch the metal parts.

• Copy the recorded files to your PC. JVC shall not be responsible for any lost data. (It is recommended that you copy the data from your PC to DVD or other media for storage.)

• A malfunction may cause the recording medium to fail to operate properly. JVC shall not provide any compensation for any lost contents.

Recording Medium (Continued)

• Do not strike or shake the hard disk.
• When the camera is repaired or inspected, data may be erased, and the hard disk may be formatted. Back up all data before requesting repair or inspection.
• Play back your trial recording to make sure the video and audio have been recorded properly.
• When formatting or erasing data using the camera, only the file administration information is changed. The data is not completely erased from the hard disk. If you want to completely erase all of the data, we recommend either using commercially available software that is specially designed for that purpose, or by physically destroying the camera with a hammer etc.

LCD Monitor

• To prevent damage to the LCD monitor, DO NOT
  ...push it strongly or apply any shocks.
  ...place the camera with LCD monitor on the bottom.
• To prolong service life
  ...avoid rubbing it with coarse cloth.
• The following phenomena for LCD monitor use are not malfunctions.
  ...While using the camera, the surface around the LCD monitor may heat up.
  ...If you leave power on for a long time, the surface around the LCD monitor becomes hot.

Main Unit

For safety, DO NOT
... open the camera's chassis.
...disassemble or modify the unit.
...short-circuit the terminals of the battery pack. Keep it away from metallic objects when not in use.
... allow inflammables, water or metallic objects to enter the unit.
...remove the battery pack or disconnect the power supply while the power is on.
...leave the battery pack attached when the camera is not in use.
... place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus.
...expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.
- Avoid using the unit
...in places subject to excessive humidity or dust.

...in places subject to extremely high (over 40^ ) or extremely low (under 0^ ) temperatures.
DO NOT leave the unit
...in places of over 50^
...in places where humidity is extremely low (below 35% or extremely high (above 80% ).
...in direct sunlight.
...in a closed car in summer.
...near a heater.
... in high places such as on a TV. Leaving the unit in high places while a cable is connected may result in a malfunction if the cable is caught and the unit falls onto the floor.
- To protect the unit, DO NOT
... allow it to become wet.
... drop the unit or strike it against hard objects.
...subject it to shock or excessive vibration during transportation.
... keep the lens directed at extremely bright objects for long periods.
...expose the lens to direct sunlight.

...swing the soft camera case excessively when the camera is inside it.

How to Handle a CD-ROM

• Take care not to soil or scratch the mirror surface (opposite to the printed surface). Do not write anything or put a sticker on either the front or back surface. If the CD-ROM gets dirty, gently wipe it with a soft cloth outward from the centre hole.
• Do not use conventional disc cleaners or cleaning spray.
• Do not bend the CD-ROM or touch its mirror surface.
• Do not store your CD-ROM in a dusty, hot or humid environment. Keep it away from direct sunlight.

Serious malfunctioning

If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit immediately and consult your local JVC dealer.

When requesting repairs for malfunctioning by your dealer or JVC service centre, be sure to bring your camera together with the recording medium. If one of them is not included, the cause cannot be diagnosed, and the repair cannot be made properly.

The camera is a microcomputer-controlled device. External noise and interference (from a TV, a radio, etc.) might prevent it from functioning properly. In such cases, first disconnect its power supply unit (battery pack, AC adapter, etc.) and wait a few minutes and then re-connect it and proceed as usual from the beginning.
