Basic recording

If the power is interrupted or an error occurs during recording, the video may not be recorded.

Samsung is not responsible for any damage caused by a failure of normal recording or playback operation because of memory card error.

Note that damaged data cannot be recovered.

Do not turn off the product or remove the memory card while accessing the storage media. Doing so may damage the storage media or the data in the storage media.

Videos are compressed in the H.264 (MPEG-4.AVC) format.

For the on-screen information display, see page 18.

For approximate recording times, see page 28.

Sound is recorded through the internal stereo microphone located on the front of the product. Make sure that the microphone is not blocked.

Before recording an important video, test the recording function to see if there any problems with the audio or video recording.

For various functions available during recording, see pages 53~58.

You can adjust the brightness of the LCD screen in the menu options. Adjusting the LCD screen does not affect the image being recorded. ¬page 70

When you record indoors or in the dark places, ISO sensitivity is automatically adjusted. In very dark places, the ISO adjustment can cause interference effects on images and prevent you from recording these images correctly. We recommend you use a professional, infrared product when recording in dark places or at night.

If you mount the product on a tripod, and you turn on the Anti-Shake function, images you capture will look shaky or fuzzy. Release the Anti-Shake function when you mount the product on a tripod.
