Basic recording
If the power is interrupted or an error occurs during recording, the
video may not be recorded/edited.
Samsung is not responsible for any damage caused by a failure of
normal recording or playback operation because of memory card error.
Note that damaged data cannot be recovered.
Do not turn off the camcorder or remove the memory card while
accessing the storage media. Doing so may damage the storage
media or the data in the storage media.

Videos are compressed in the H.264 (MPEG-4.AVC) format.
Eject the battery when you have finished recording to prevent
unnecessary battery power consumption.
For the on-screen information display, see page 17
For approximate recording time, see page 33.
Sound is recorded by the internal stereo microphone located on
the front of the camcorder. Make sure that the microphone is not
blocked.
Before recording an important video, make sure to test the recording
function to see if there any problems with the audio or video
recording.
For various functions available during recording, see
¬
pages 50~57
If the power cable/battery is disconnected or recording is disabled
during recording, the system is switched to the data recovery mode.
While data is being recovered, no other function is enabled. When
the recording time is short, the data recovery might fail.
You can adjust the brightness of the LCD screen in the menu options.
Adjusting the LCD screen does not affect the image being recorded.

The menu setting tabs shown on the LCD screen do not affect the
image being recorded.
The

Recording videos in a quiet environment increases microphone
sensitivity that may record surrounding ambient noise. The increasing
microphone sensitivity can let the camcorder record zoom noises
during zooming (the sound of the zoom mechanism etc).
When you record indoors or in the dark places, ISO sensitivity is
automatically adjusted. It can make interference effects on images
and you cannot view the images recorded in the dark places
correctly. We recommend you to use professional camcorders like a
infrared camcorder when recording at night.
An image can be shaken when the OIS Duo function is enabled if the
camcorder is mounted on a tripod or fixed on a place. Release the
OIS Duo function when the camcorder is mounted on a tripod.
