These are the camcorder’s default settings:

Video Format: HD (1440x1080p, 30 fps). This is the highest quality video setting that your camcorder offers. It can be switched to SD (640x480p, 30fps) mode, if desired. SD mode is preferable when the movies captured will only be watched on a standard definition TV. SD mode also uses less memory than HD mode.

Stabilization: Off. Image stabilization is ideal for reducing blurred images that may be caused by shaky hands or low light conditions. Turn off when using a tripod.

Sounds: On. When sounds are turned on, a sound will be played each time a key function is accessed.

Simple Mode: On. Turn off Simple Mode to access advanced settings. Default advanced settings are as follows:

·Motion Detection: Off

·Scene Mode: Auto

·Color Balance: Auto

·Time Stamp: Off

·Help Text: On

·TV Format: NTSC

·File Format: AVI

To turn off Simple Mode, press the SET button, then navigate to the Settings tab (tab on the far right), and scroll down to the Simple Mode menu selection. Push SET, then select OFF.

NOTE: A simple description of what the advanced settings are is provided by scrolling help text at the bottom of the screen. To view the help text, highlight any menu option. For more information on advanced settings, see your User Guide.

IMPORTANT:Your camcorder ships with AVI as the default file format. AVI is ideal for users runningWindows® XP, Vista® or 7. AVI files may be viewed and edited with the included ArcSoft MediaImpression software.

If you are a Mac™ user, you should change the default file format to MOV. MOV files may be easily viewed and edited on Mac computers with QuickTime™ or iMovie™.
