Notes regarding Record or Playback using the LCD
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 may be difficult to see the picture clearly. If this occurs, we recommend that the viewfinder is used. 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.
SAMSUNG SAMSUNG SAMSUNG SAMSUNG
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 1 months under normal operation from the time of installation. 3. When the lithium battery becomes weak or is dead, the date/ time indicator will flash for about five seconds when you set the power switch to CAM mode. In this case, you are recommended that you should connect the camcorder to power to fully recharge the embedded lithium battery. If you see the same problem occur even on the fully recharged battery, youd better contact to a nearby customer service center as the battery has had it.
4. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Warning: Keep the LITHIUM BATTERY(REMOCON) out of reach of children. Should a battery be swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.

moisture condensation has formed in the camcorder.
Moisture Condensation 1 If the camcorder is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may condense inside the camcorder, on the surface of the tape, or on the lens. In this condition, the tape may stick to the head drum and be damaged or the unit may not operate correctly. To prevent possible damage under these circumstances, the camcorder is fitted with a moisture sensor. 1 If there is moisture inside the camcorder, (DEW) is displayed. If this happens, none of the functions except cassette ejection will work. Open the cassette compartment and remove the battery. Leave the camcorder for at least two hours in a dry warm room.

1 Please refer to the table on page 23 for approximate continuous recording times. 1 The recording time is affected by environmental temperature and conditions. 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 77F(25C). 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.

When a cassette is loaded and the camcorder is left in the STBY mode for more than 5 minutes without being used, it will switch off automatically. To use it again, push the START/STOP button or set the Power switch to OFF and then back to CAM. This Auto Power off feature is designed to save battery power.

Hints for Stable Image Recording
While recording, it is very important to hold the camcorder correctly. Fix the LENS cap firmly by clipping it to the hand strap. (refer to the figure) Recording with the LCD monitor 1. Hold the camcorder firmly using the hand strap. 2. Place your right elbow against your side. 3. Place your left hand under or beside the LCD to support and adjust it. Do not touch the built-in microphone. 4. Choose a comfortable, stable position for the shots that you are taking. You can lean against a wall or on a table for greater stability. Do not forget to breathe gently. 5. Use the LCD frame as a guide to determine the horizontal plane. 6. Whenever possible, use a tripod. Recording with the Viewfinder 1. Hold the camcorder firmly using the hand strap. 2. Place your right elbow against your side. 3. Place your left hand under the camcorder to support it. Be sure not to touch the built-in microphone. 4. Choose a comfortable, stable position for the shots that you are taking. You can lean against a wall or on a table for greater stability. Do not forget to breathe gently. 5. To view an object through the viewfinder, pull it out until you hear the click sound. Excessive force may cause damages to the viewfinder. 6. Place your eye firmly against the viewfinder eyecup. 7. Use the viewfinder frame as a guide to determine the horizontal plane. 8. Whenever possible, use a tripod.

Zooming In and Out 1 The VP-D130/D130i/D190/D190i model offers a DUAL Zoom system for added convenience. 1 Zooming is a recording technique that lets you change the size of the subject in a scene. For more professional looking recordings, do not use the zoom function too often. 1 You can zoom using variable zoom speeds. 1 Use these features for different shots. Please note that over use of the zoom feature can lead to unprofessional looking results and a reduction of battery usage time. 1 The dual zoom lever has the same function of the normal zoom lever but takes more time for zooming in and out. It is useful to use the dual zoom lever when you need a detailed zooming in and out. 1. Move the zoom lever slightly for a gradual zoom, move it further for a high-speed zoom. Your zooming is monitored on the OSD. 2. T(Telephoto) side: Subject appears closer. 3. W(Wide angle) side: Subject appears farther away. Reference You can record a subject that is a minimum of 1 m (about 2.65 feet) away from the lens surface in the TELE position, or about 10 mm (about 0.5 inch) away in the WIDE position.

MF/AF (Manual Focus/Auto Focus)
1 The MF/AF function works in CAM mode only. 1 In most situations, it is better to use the automatic focus feature, as it enables you to concentrate on the creative side of your recording. 1 Manual focusing may be necessary under certain conditions that make automatic focusing difficult and/or unreliable. Auto Focusing 1 If you are inexperienced in the use of camcorders, we recommend that you make use of Auto Focus. Manual Focusing 1 In the following cases you could obtain better results by adjusting the focus manually. a. A picture containing several objects, some close to the camcorder, others further away. b. A person enveloped in fog or surrounded by snow. c. Very shiny or glossy surfaces like a car. d. People or objects moving constantly or quickly like an athlete or a crowd. 1. Set the power switch to CAM mode. 2. Press the MF/AF ( ) button. 3. Turn the MENU DIAL up or down until the object is in focus. s Zoom out a little if focusing is difficult. 4. To return to AF(Auto Focus), press the MF/AF button again.
