Cautions When Using

Handle the liquid crystal display (LCD) with care:

The LCD is a very delicate display device: Do not press its surface with force, hit it or prick it with a sharp object.

If you push the LCD surface, unevenness in display may occur. If unevenness does not disappear soon, turn the DVD video camera/recorder off, wait for a few moments, and then turn it on again.

Do not place the DVD video camera/recorder with the open LCD screen down.

Close the LCD monitor when not using the DVD video camera/recorder.

Liquid crystal display (LCD) and viewfinder:

The LCD screen and viewfinder are the products of highly precise technology. Among the total number of pixels (approx. 120,000 pixels for LCD monitor and equivalent to approx. 200,000 pixels for viewfinder), 0.01% or less pixels may be missing (black dots) or may remain lit as coloured dots (red, blue, green). This shows the limitations of the current technology, and does not indicate a fault that will interfere with recording.

The LCD screen and viewfinder will be slightly dimmer than usual when the DVD video camera/ recorder is at low temperature, as in cold areas, or immediately after power is turned on. Normal brightness will be restored when the temperature inside the DVD video camera/recorder rises.

Hold the DVD video camera/recorder correctly:

Do not hold the viewfinder or LCD monitor when lifting the DVD video camera/recorder: The viewfinder or LCD monitor could detach and the DVD video camera/recorder may fall.

Do not subject the DVD video camera/recorder to impact:

This DVD video camera/recorder is a precision machine. Take great care that you do not strike it against a hard object or let it fall.

When using a tripod, firmly secure the DVD video camera/recorder on it. Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder with a tripod in a place where it is subject to severe vibrations or impact.

No sand or dust!

Fine sand or dust entering the DVD video camera/recorder or AC adapter/charger could cause malfunctions or defects.

No water or oil!

Water or oil entering the DVD video camera/recorder or AC adapter/charger could cause electric shock, malfunctions or defects.

Heat on surface of product:

The surfaces of the DVD video camera/recorder, AC adapter/charger and battery will be slightly warm, but this does not indicate a fault.

Screen on connected TV:

Never leave the disc navigation screen, still image or camera image displayed on your TV to which the DVD video camera/recorder is connected: Doing so could result in displayed image retention or phosphor degradation of TV screen.

Be careful of ambient temperature:

Using the DVD video camera/recorder in a place where the temperature is over 40ºC or under 0ºC will result in abnormal recording/playback.

Take care that the temperature of this DVD video camera/recorder, when connected to PC does not rise excessively (reference for usage: approx. 30 minutes at about 30ºC).

Do not leave the DVD video camera/recorder on beach sand or in a closed vehicle where the temperature is very high for a long time: This could cause malfunctions.

DZ-GX5100SW, DZ-GX5060SW specifications

The Hitachi DZ-GX5060SW and DZ-GX5100SW are compact and versatile camcorders that combine cutting-edge technology with user-friendly design, making them ideal for both amateur and experienced videographers. These models are part of Hitachi's impressive lineup, highlighting features that cater to a wide range of recording needs, from family gatherings to professional projects.

One of the standout features of both models is their ability to record high-quality video, with the DZ-GX5060SW supporting DVD-RAM and DVD-R recording. This ensures that users have flexible options for storing and sharing their footage. The DZ-GX5100SW enhances this capability, allowing for double-layer DVD recording, effectively doubling the storage capacity. Both camcorders utilize a 1/6 inch CCD sensor, which offers a resolution of 680,000 pixels for sharp and vibrant images.

The optical zoom feature in these models is particularly impressive. The DZ-GX5060SW is equipped with a 10x optical zoom, which allows users to capture subjects from afar without compromising image quality. The DZ-GX5100SW takes this a step further with a 16x optical zoom, making it perfect for wildlife filming or events where the subject may not always be close to the camera. Moreover, the use of image stabilization technology in both models helps to counteract jitter and shake during handheld recording, ensuring smooth and professional-looking videos.

Another distinguishing characteristic is the intuitive user interface. With a 2.7-inch LCD screen, both camcorders make it easy for users to frame their shots and navigate through menus without hassle. The screen is designed for easy viewing in various lighting conditions, ensuring that users can capture the perfect shot, even in challenging environments.

Beyond video recording, the DZ-GX5060SW and DZ-GX5100SW also feature snapshot capabilities, allowing users to take high-resolution still photos. This is particularly advantageous when a moment arises that you want to capture as a photo rather than a video.

Both models offer a plethora of connectivity options, including USB and RCA outputs, which facilitate easy transfer of videos to computers or television sets. With these camcorders, Hitachi has struck a balance between performance, usability, and innovative technology, making them excellent choices for anyone looking to capture special moments with reliability and ease.
