How to use the remote control unit
The remote control unit can be used at an angle that is displaced 15 degrees horizontally from the remote control sensor on the front of the camera, at a distance of up to 7 meters (22.97 ft.). When operating the remote control unit, remove any object that may obstruct the path between it and the remote control sensor.
At a distance of up to 7 meters (22.97 ft.)
Infrared emitter Remote control sensor
CAUTION i If the remote control unit is operated in sunlight or under inverter lighting, the remote control receiving range may become shorter. This is a characteristic of the infrared remote control unit and is not a defect. To avoid this malfunction when operating the remote control unit, take care to shield the remote control sensor from strong light.
PREPARING THE REMOTE CONTROL UNIT Changing the remote control code
The remote control unit will also work with other Sanyo cameras that can be operated by infrared remote control. When more than one camera is present, it is recommended to change the remote control code to ensure that only the intended camera operates when the remote control unit is used. The remote control code is set to RC CODE 1 at the time of purchase. <Changing the remote control code from RC CODE 1 to RC CODE 2>
Aim the infrared emitter at the remote control sensor on the docking station. Simultaneously press the MENU button and the [ least 3 seconds. ] button for at

You can record video clips in either the HD mode (16:9 horizontal to vertical aspect ratio) or the SD mode (4:3 aspect ratio). In addition, the higher the frame rate number, the smoother playback will be. However, as with the recording size, the file size is also proportionately larger, using up more memory. This menu is also used when making audio recordings.

FILE NO. MEMORY
If a newly formatted card is used, the file name (image number) of the captured image automatically begins from 0001. If the card is subsequently reformatted, or if a different reformatted card is used, the file names again begin from 0001. This is because the file number memory function is set to OFF, and consequently it results in more than one card containing images with the same numbers. By setting the file number memory function to ON, even if the card is reformatted or the card is replaced with another card, the consecutive numbering of file names continues from the last number recorded by the camera. <File number memory function OFF> Card A File name (image number) 0001, 0002. 0012, 0013 Replace card Card B 0001, 0002. 0012, 0013

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

If you have a question about the camera operation, you might find the answer in this compilation of commonly asked questions. Question Why doesnt the power turn on? Answer Due to cold temperatures, the battery pack temporarily lost its power. The ambient temperature is very low. Action Place the camera in your pocket to warm it up before using it.
Why is the battery pack consumed so quickly even after it was fully recharged? Why doesnt recharging end?
Keep the battery pack in an environment of 10 to 40 C (50 to 104 F). Replace with a new battery pack. If this is not effective, consult your dealer. Use the supplied AC adaptor, or replace the battery pack with a fully charged one. Not a malfunction. Wait until the multiindicator turns off. Not a malfunction. Capture the image; the camera will determine when the flash is necessary.
