Why does the camcorder sometimes not record the right color?

To record both indoors and outdoors, and not having to change any settings, the camcorder has an automatic white- balance correction. This enables you to record both indoors and outdoors where the amount of light in the environment changes. If you move fast from outdoors to indoors, the camcorder might need some time to correct that, and in extreme cases the colors might seem a bit unnatural. However, after

a few seconds this will be corrected automatically by the camcorder.

How do I connect it to aWindows PC/laptop?

Connect the camcorder to your PC/ laptop via USB. The USB pop-out connector is strong enough to support the camcorder when it is plugged into the PC’s USB port. For easy sharing and editing, install the software program (Media Impression HD) that comes with the camcorder.

How do I connect it to a Mac?

The camcorder works with the Mac via USB. The USB pop-out connector is strong enough to support the camcorder when it is plugged into the USB port. The camcorder works great with the iMovie software, which is part of the iLife package that comes with your Mac. To transfer videos using iMovie, simply connect the camcorder to your Mac via USB, launch iMovie and start importing by clicking the camcorder icon. Select ‘Use original quality’ to ensure the best quality, and to maintain file sizes at an optimum.

What is HD?

HD stands for High Definition. The camcorder captures videos in high definition (720p), which is also the

resolution that HD TV programs are broadcast in. “720” refers to the display resolution, in terms of the number of horizontal lines onscreen. “p” stands for progressive scan, or the sequential appearance of the lines in each frame. HD 720p gives video quality that is superior to that found in typical mobile phones and digital cameras.

How do I play my videos onTV?

To play back on TV, please use an HDMI connector (mini HDMI to standard HDMI) if your TV accepts HDMI input, or use the video-out cable provided.

Why is there no lens cover?

The camcorder comes without a lens cover, keeping it simple to use and fuss-free. It is made of robust material that doesn’t scratch under normal usage. A travel pouch and a lens cloth are provided, allowing you to keep the camcorder clean.

What format does the camcorder record in?

The camcorder uses the same video format as Blu-ray players and discs – H.264. This highly sophisticated format delivers superb HD picture quality.

What does pre-record mean that is in the setting?

The pre-record button is designed to let you never miss a moment. When you enable the pre-record function, the camcorder will record video 3 seconds before you have pressed the record button. So when you play-back the recorded film, you will automatically see the first 3 seconds before you have pressed the record button. This can be useful when filming unexpected moments. The pre-record function will not drain battery life, it will operate as normal.
