key features of your memory camcorder

High-resolution colour widescreen LCD (2.7” WIDE TFT LCD)

Samsung memory camcorder utilizes a 2.7-inch 230k pixel Widescreen LCD which

allows bright and clear monitoring. In addition, the LCD Enhancer adjusts colour and

brightness to the screen lighting conditions for better monitoring under strong sunlight.

H.264/AVC (MPEG4 part 10/Advanced Video Coding) encoding

Latest video compression technology, H.264, uses a high compression rate to sharply

increase the recordable time with the same size storage.

Simple & easy user interface

Designed to provide optimized and easy use with an ergonomic design.

An improved Graphics User Interface offers a new and fresh look as well as an easy operation.

SSD (Solid State Drive) adopted as built-in memory (16GB (SMX-K44 only), 32GB (SMX-K45 only))

SSD based on ﬂash memory has been adopted as built-in memory for the camcorder. SSD helps the camcorder boot, read

data and operate the software much faster than normal HDD (Hard Disk Drives). Also, SSD is very stable, durable and makes

less noise while in operation. It is environment-friendly because low electric power is required.

User-friendly functions

User-friendly EASY Q optimises your memory camcorder to the recording conditions

automatically, providing beginners with the best performance.

detection features.

important information on use

English_v

vi_English

Liquid crystal display:

- The LCD screen is a product of high precision technology. Out of the total pixels (approx. 230,000 pixels of an LCD

monitor ), 0.01% or less pixels may be out (black dots) or may remain lit as coloured dots (red, blue, and 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

right after the power is turned on. Normal brightness will be restored when the temperature inside the camcorder

rises. Note that this will have no effect on the image in a storage media, so there is no cause for concern.

Hold the camcorder correctly:

- Do not hold the camcorder by the LCD monitor when lifting it: the LCD monitor could detach and the

camcorder may fall.

Do not subject the camcorder to impact:

- This 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 camcorder on a tripod in a place where it is subject to severe vibrations or impact.

No sand or dust!

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

No water or oil!

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

Heat on surface of product:

- The surface of the camcorder will be slightly warm when used, but this does not indicate a fault.

Be careful of unusual ambient temperature:

- Using the camcorder in a place where the temperature is over 104°F (40°C) or lower than 32°F (0°C) may result

in abnormal recording/playback.

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

time: This could cause a malfunction.

Do not point directly at the sun:

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

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

Do not use the camcorder near TV or radio:

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

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

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

electric appliances, it may cause distortion to the video and audio being recorded. During playback of normally

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

•

important information on use

English_vii

Do not expose the camcorder to soot or steam:

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

Do not use the camcorder near corrosive gas:

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

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

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

Do not use the camcorder near an ultrasonic humidiﬁer:

- Calcium and other chemicals dissolved in water could scatter in the air, and white particles could adhere to the

optical head of the camcorder, which could cause it to operate abnormally.

Do not clean the camcorder body with benzene or thinner:

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

- When using a chemical cleaning cloth, follow the instructions.

Keep a memory card out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.
