sharper image when compared to a standard definition TV.

• This HD camcorder supports Anynet+.

Anynet+ is an AV network system that enables you to control all connected

Samsung AV devices with an Anynet+ supported Samsung TV remote

control. Refer to the corresponding TV’s user manual for more details.

angles providing sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback, and the widescreen

ABOUT THIS USER MANUAL

• This user manual covers models VP-HMX10, VP-HMX10A, VP-HMX10C, VP-HMX10N, VP-HMX10CN, and

VP-HMX10ED.

The VP-HMX10A, VP-HMX10C/HMX10CN, and VP-HMX10ED have a 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB built-in flash memory

respectively but also use memory cards. The VP-HMX10/HMX10N does not have built-in flash memory and uses

memory cards exclusively.

Although some features of VP-HMX10, VP-HMX10A, VP-HMX10C, VP-HMX10N, VP-HMX10CN, and VP-

HMX10ED are different, they operate in the same way.

• Illustrations of model VP-HMX10A are used in this user manual.

• The displays in this user manual may not be exactly the same as those you see on the LCD screen.

• Designs and specifications of the camcorder and other accessories are subject to change without any notice.

IMPORTANT NOTE

• 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, turn the

camcorder off, wait for a few moments, and then turn it on again.

- Do not place the camcorder with the open LCD screen down.

- Close the LCD screen when not using the camcorder.

Liquid crystal display:

- The LCD screen of this product uses high precision technology. Among the total number of pixels (approx.

230,000 pixels for LCD screen), 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 will be slightly dimmer than usual when the camcorder 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

camcorder rises. This has no effect on the images in the storage media, so there is no cause for concern.

• Hold the HD camcorder correctly:

Do not hold the HD camcorder by the LCD screen when lifting it: the LCD screen could detach and the HD

camcorder may fall.

• Do not subject the HD camcorder to impact:

This HD camcorder is a precision machine. Take great care that you do not strike it against a hard object or let it fall.

- Do not use the HD camcorder on a tripod (not supplied) in a place where it is subject to severe vibration or

impact.

• No sand or dust!

Fine sand or dust entering the HD camcorder or AC power adaptor could cause malfunctions or defects.

• No water or oil!

Water or oil entering the HD camcorder or AC power adaptor could cause electric shock, malfunctions or defects.

• Heat on surface of product:

The surface of the HD camcorder will be slightly warm when in use, but this does not indicate a fault.

• Be careful of ambient temperature:

- Using the HD camcorder in a place where the temperature is over 60°C (140°F) or under 0°C (32°F) will result

in abnormal recording/playback.

- Do not leave the HD camcorder on a beach or in a closed vehicle where the temperature is very high for a long

time: This could cause a malfunction.

precautions when using

viii_ English

• Do not point directly at the sun:

- If direct sunlight strikes the lens, the HD camcorder could malfunction or a fire could occur.

- Do not leave the HD camcorder with the LCD screen exposed to direct sunlight: This could cause a

malfunction.

• Do not use the HD camcorder near TV or radio:

This could cause noise to appear on the TV screen or on radio broadcasts.

• Do not use the HD camcorder near strong radio waves or magnetism:

If the HD camcorder is used near strong radio waves or magnetism, such as near a radio transmitter or electric

appliances, noise could enter video and audio that are being recorded. During playback of normally recorded

video and audio, noise may also be present in picture and sound.

• Do not expose the HD camcorder to soot or steam:

Thick soot or steam could damage the HD camcorder case or cause a malfunction.

• Do not use the HD camcorder near corrosive gas:

If the HD camcorder is used in a place where there is dense exhaust gas generated by gasoline or diesel engines,

or corrosive gas such as hydrogen sulfide, the external or internal terminals could corrode, disabling normal

operation, or the battery connecting terminals could corrode, so that power will not turn on.

• Do not wipe the HD camcorder body with benzene or a thinner:

- The exterior coating could peel off or the case surface could deteriorate.

• Keep the memory card out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.
