Proper use
This camcorder is designed for the recording of pictures and video
clips. Recorded pictures and videos can be transferred to a PC.
Alternatively, they can be viewed on a TV via the USB-AV or HDMI
interface. The camcorder is intended solely for private use and not for
commercial purposes. Improper use shall void any warranty and
liability on the part of the manufacturer.

Safety instructions
General
This unit is not intended for use by people (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities, unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety or they have
been instructed on its use. Children should be supervised to
ensure they do not play with this unit.
Always adhere to the user instructions of the devices that you
connect to the camcorder.
DANGER!
Keep the plastic packaging out of the reach of
children as it can cause suffocation!
Preventing electric shock
Never open the camcorder casing or the charger cradle, except to
insert the battery.
Connect the charger cradle to a professionally installed AC 230 V ~
50 Hz mains socket.
To remove the power cord quickly and easily from the mains in an
emergency, the socket must be easily accessible and close to the
appliance.
Do not kink or crush the power cord.

9
Use only the charger supplied.
Take measures to prevent moisture or liquid from penetrating the
camcorder or the charger cradle.
Never touch the charger cradle with wet hands.
Never use the camcorder if the power cord is defective.
To avoid any danger, replace the charger cradle and its power cord
by a charger unit of the same type if either component is
damaged. In such a case, please contact our service centre.
In the event of a fault or malfunction, immediately switch off the
camcorder.
Protect the camcorder and charger cradle from rain and splash
water.
Do not place vessels containing liquids, such as vases, on or near
the appliance or the charger cradle and protect all parts of the
device from rain and splash water. The vessel might tip over, and
the liquid might impair the electrical safety of the product.
Risk of explosion
Never expose the batteries to excessive heat (sunlight, open fire,
etc.).
Do not throw batteries into a fire.
Never short-circuit the (rechargeable) batteries.
Do not dismantle (rechargeable) batteries.

10
CAUTION!
There is a risk of explosion, if rechargeable batteries are
replaced incorrectly. Replace batteries only with the
same or equivalent type.
Preventing fire hazards
Always uncoil the entire length of the power cord.
Ensure there is adequate ventilation and never cover the charger
cradle.
Do not place naked flames – such as lit candles – on or near the
unit.
Risk of poisoning
Keep the battery out of reach of children.
Risk of chemical burns
Always remove spent batteries from the device, as there is an
increased risk of leakage. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and
mucous membranes. If any of these areas come into contact with
battery acid, rinse them immediately with plenty of clean water
and contact a doctor without delay.
Preventing damage to the camcorder
If the battery is leaking, immediately remove it from the
camcorder. Before inserting a new battery, clean the contacts.
Use only the lithium-ion battery supplied.

11
Before inserting the battery, check that the contacts in the
camcorder and on the batteries are clean. If necessary, clean the
battery connections with a clean, dry cloth or an eraser.
Do not touch the lens or lens mounting.
Preventing damage to the battery
Never insert the battery the wrong way round. Always ensure
correct polarity at the +/- terminals.
Never allow the battery to come into contact with liquids.
Direct intense heat can damage the battery. Therefore do not
expose the camcorder to any sources of direct heat.
If the camcorder is not to be used for long periods, remove the
battery.
Preventing breakage
Do not drop the camcorder.
When carrying the camcorder, always place the strap around your
wrist.
Preventing data loss
Never interrupt the power supply while data are being processed.
Preventing damage to SD cards
Never remove the SD card from the camcorder during the data
saving process.

12
Protection from condensation
Do not expose the camcorder to rapid changes in temperature.
Place the camcorder in a protective case or plastic bag before
exposing it to any sudden changes in temperature.
If the camcorder is cold, wait until it has reached room
temperature before connecting it to the power cord. The device
can safely be connected for charging as soon as the unit has
reached room temperature.
Do not use or store the camcorder in direct sunlight or at high
ambient temperatures.
Battery charge capacity
At low temperatures the capacity of the battery might drop
significantly as chemical reactions are slowed down. When recording
in cold weather, keep a second battery pack in reserve in a warm place
(e.g. trouser pocket).
Information about 3D
Warning regarding photosensitive epilepsy and other health risks.
–Some viewers may experience an epileptic seizure or stroke
when they are exposed to flashing images or flashing lights, as
does occur in some television films or video games. Please
consult your doctor before using the 3D function if you or your
relatives have a past history of epilepsy or palpitations.

13
–Do not watch any 3D films if you feel disorientated, listless,
tired and ill, or if you have consumed alcohol. Do not watch 3D
films for hours on end.
–Even people without a personal or family history of epilepsy or
palpitations can have an undiagnosed “propensity for
photosensitive epilepsy” without being aware of it.
–If you have any of the following symptoms, then immediately
stop watching 3D images and consult a medical specialist:
(1) visual disorders, (2) daze, (3) dizziness, (4) involuntary
movements of the eyes or muscles, (5) confusion, (6)
nausea, (7) clouded awareness, (8) convulsions, (9)
seizures and/or (10) disorientation.
Parents should observe their children and ask whether any of
the above symptoms have occurred. Such symptoms are more
likely to occur in children and teenagers than in adults.
Some 3D images can frighten the viewers. Pregnant women,
seniors and people with epilepsy or a serious illness should refrain
from using the 3D function on this device.
We advise you not to watch 3D images when you are in a poor
physical condition, exhausted or have consumed alcohol.
By immersing yourself in the images, negative effects such as travel
sickness, long-term perception disorders, disorientation and eye
strain may occur.
Therefore, take regular breaks as this will reduce the danger of
such effects from occurring. This is also recommended for other
devices, such as keyboards and computer monitors, where you

14
tend to focus or concentrate on them. Stop using the device if your
eyes start showing signs of tiredness or dryness, or if one or more
of the symptoms described above occur.
The ideal viewing distance is about 30 – 40 cm between the LCD
screen and your eyes. We recommend that the viewer sits in such a
way that his eyes are at the same height as the screen. In some
people this can reduce the 3D effect.

15
System requirements
If you wish to connect the camcorder to a PC, the computer must
meet the following requirements:
Pentium P III or higher (recommended: P4), free USB 2.0 interface and
1 GB of free hard disk space with Operating system Windows® XP SP3,
Windows Vista® SP1 or Windows®7
