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. ( pg. 49)

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. ( pg. 60)

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. ( 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. ( 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).

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.

To delete this video file, please refer to “Deleting Files on Menu Screen” ( pg. 38)/“Formatting a Recording Medium” ( pg. 41).
