Charging the Battery Pack
:
The supplied battery charges while in the camera using the supplied battery pack. When you first
get the camera, press the battery pack softly into the back of the camera until it clicks into place.
Make sure that the camera is turned off (to charge), and plug the compact power adapter to the
camcorder's DC IN Terminal(on the back of the camera).
*When you first charge your battery, charge it all the way. Wait until you fully exhaust the battery
to re-charge it again.
Using the Viewfinder:
In some situations, it might be easier to use the viewfinder to view what you are recording. You
can also use the viewfinder when you rotate the LCD screen 180 degrees, so that your subject can
see what is being recorded.
This could be helpful in hunting situations as a way to communicate
to the hunter without words. The hunter can see what is being recorded and you can keep track
while using the viewfinder.
To use the Viewfinder, you pull it out.
LCD Backlight:
When recording in bright places it may be difficult to use the LCD
screen. Turn on the LCD backlight to make it brighter.
With the camcorder on, hold DISP. pressed down for more than 2
seconds.
• Repeat this action to switch the LCD backlight between off (normal)
and on (bright)
Wireless Controller:
First, insert the supplied CR2025 lithium button battery in the wireless controller.
To use the controller:
1. Point the wireless controller at the camcorder's remote sensor when you press the buttons.
• You can rotate the LCD panel 180 degrees to use the wireless controller from the front of the
camcorder.
