2 EN Major Features of this Camera Removable hard disk
In contrast to conventional digital video cameras that record to DV tapes, the removable hard disk is a new type of card media that enables extended hours of highresolution, MPEG2 video recording. ( pg. 5)
Enjoying Various Playback Features
Unlike tape operation, playback is simple and easy in this camera since no time is needed for rewinding or fast forward operations. Playlist, playback effects, and other functions are also available for enjoying many different types of playback. (Refer to the advanced operation manual in CD-ROM. pg. 32)
Various Recording Media and Modes
Video and still images can be recorded to CompactFlash card (CF card) and SD memory card. The removable hard disk (provided) or Microdrive is a type of CF card compliant with CF+ Type II. You can select the most suitable recording medium and mode for picture quality, image size, recording time, and computer environment. ( pg. 42)

Editing Files on your PC

USB 2.0 enables the smooth transfer of video and still images to a computer. With the bundled Cyberlink software, you can easily edit video and create your own DVDs. (Refer to SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AND USB CONNECTION GUIDE.)

Voice Recording Features

The camera can be used as a voice recorder for audio recordings. ( pg. 24)

Direct Printing

If your printer is compatible with PictBridge, still images can be printed easily by connecting the camera with USB cable directly to the printer. (Refer to the advanced operation manual in CD-ROM. pg. 32)

EN Dear Customer, Thank you for purchasing this digital media camera. Before use, please read the safety information and precautions contained in the pages to ensure safe use of this product. NOTES: The rating plate (serial number plate) and safety caution are on the bottom and/or the back of the main unit. The rating information and safety caution of the AC adapter are on its upper and lower sides. This product has a fluorescent lamp that contains a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated in your community due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information please contact your local authorities, or the Electronics Industries Alliance: <http://www.eiae.org> When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or on a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation (10 cm (3-15/16") or more on both sides, on top and at the rear). Do not block the ventilation holes. (If the ventilation holes are blocked by a newspaper, or cloth etc. the heat may not be able to get out.) No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus. When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing. Do not use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water. Also do not place any containers filled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups etc.) on top of this unit. (If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Other cautions Condensation can cause the drive to break down. If water is splashed on the drive, make sure that it is completely dried before usage. Do not use, replace, or store the disk 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. Since data must be read and written by the drive correctly, the camera may be unable to shoot when the camera heats up, such as during continuous shooting, or when the camera is cooled down during usage in a cold location. To fix this problem, follow the messages displayed on the screen. ( pg. 36) To maintain high performance, perform check disks (error checks) using your computer on a regular basis. Use a USB cable to connect the camera and PC, and then perform the check disk on the removable hard disk using the same procedure as a regular local disk (C drive). Refer to the instruction manual of your PC for check disks. Clean up the disk regularly to maintain high performance. ( pg. 27) Also read Recording Medium on page 38. Be careful to completely delete data when discarding or giving away the removable hard disk. When recording data is formatted or deleted on the camera, this only modifies the file management information, and the data is not completely erased. When discarding or giving away the removable hard disk, to prevent problems caused by the release of sensitive information, it is extremely important that the customer take responsibility to erase all recorded data. Some recommended methods of erasing data include using a commercial data removal program or using a hammer or strong magnet to physically or magnetically destroy the data on the hard disk so that it cannot be read. JVC shall not be responsible for any personal data that is released.

When the Battery/CF card cover is opened or the SD card is removed while the power is on, the power is automatically turned off to protect the data in the recording medium. To turn on the power again, close the cover and use the power switch. 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. If the protective cap is attached to the battery pack, remove it first. When charging the battery pack for the first time or after a long storage period, the power/charge lamp may not light. In this case, remove the battery pack from the camera, then try charging again. If the battery operation time remains extremely short even after having been 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 wellventilated areas.

Using AC Power

Connect the AC adapter to the camera as shown in the illustration. ( pg. 14)
The provided AC adapter features automatic voltage selection in the AC range from 110 V to 240 V.

Using the Battery Pack

Perform steps in Charging the Battery Pack. Maximum continuous recording time
Battery pack BN-VM200U (provided) Recording time 1 hr. 5 min.
Before detaching the power source, make sure that the cameras power is turned off. Failure to do so can result in a camera malfunction. If a malfunction occurs by electrostatic discharge, the power source should be terminated to reset the device.

About Batteries

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. The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large power capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold temperatures (below 10C/50F), its usage time becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the camera.

To cancel the sleep mode, perform any operation such as zooming. When the camera heats up, the [REC] indicator flashes. If the camera continues to heat up, shooting may be stopped to protect the recording medium. In this case, turn off the camera power, and then wait until the camera cools down. ( pg. 36) When shooting continuously, shooting is automatically stopped when a file size of 4 GB is reached. The further you slide the zoom lever, the quicker the zoom action. Refer to the advanced operation manual for details. ( pg. 32)
