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.

Charging indicator
The colour of the CHG lamp indicates the power or charging state.
• If the battery pack has been fully charged, the charge indicator is
green.
• If you are charging the battery, the colour of the charge indicator is
orange.
• If an error occurs while the battery pack in charging, the charging
indicator blinks green.
Charging, recording and playback times with a fully charged battery pack (with no zoom
operation, LCD open, etc.)
Battery type IA-BP85ST
Charging time approx. 80 min
Recording format Continuous recording time Playback time
HD approx. 80 min approx. 100 min
SD approx. 85 min approx. 110 min
• Measured times shown above are based on model VP-HMX10A.
(Times for VP-HMX10A/HMX10C/HMX10CN/HMX10ED are almost the same)
• The time is only for reference. Figures shown above are measured under Samsung’s test environment, and may
differ from your actual use.
• The recording time shortens dramatically in a cold environment. The continuous recording times in the operating
instructions are measured using a fully charged battery pack at 25 °C (77 °F). As the environmental temperature
and conditions vary, the remaining battery time may differ from the approximate continuous recording times given
in the instructions.
<Charging indicator>
English _15
Continuous recording (without zoom)
The times shown in the table reflect the available recording time when the HD camcorder is in the recording mode
without using any other functions. In actual recording, the battery pack may discharge 2-3 times faster than this
reference since the Record start/stop and Zoom are being operated, and playback is performed. Assume that the
recordable time with a fully charged battery pack is between 1/2 and 1/3 of the time in the table, and enough battery
packs to allow for the time you are planning to record on the HD camcorder.
Note that the battery pack discharges faster in a cold environment.
• The charging time will vary depending on the remaining battery level.
• To check the remaining battery charge, press and hold the Display ( )/CHECK button. page 22
Ejecting the battery pack
1. Slide and open the battery pack cover.
2. Slide the BATT. RELEASE switch and pull out the battery pack.
• Gently slide the BATT. RELEASE switch in the direction as
shown in the diagram.
3. Slide and close the battery pack cover.
• Additional battery packs are available at your local Samsung
dealer.
• If the HD camcorder will not be in use for a while, remove the
battery pack from the HD camcorder.
About battery packs
• The battery pack should be recharged in an environment that is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F). However,
when it is exposed to cold temperatures (below 0°C (32°F)), its usage time becomes reduced and it may cease
to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time,
then re-insert it in the HD camcorder.
• Do not put the battery pack near any heat source (i.e. fire or a heater).
• Do not disassemble, apply pressure to, or heat the battery pack.
• Do not allow battery pack terminals to be short-circuited. It may cause leakage, heat generation, induce
overheating or fire.
16_ English
Maintaining the battery pack
• The recording time is affected by temperature and environmental conditions.
• We recommend only using the original battery pack that is available from your Samsung retailer. When the battery
reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.
The batteries have to be treated as chemical waste.
• Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.
• To preserve battery power, keep your HD camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.
• Even when the power is switched off, the battery pack will still discharge if it is left inserted on the HD camcorder.
When not using the HD camcorder for an extended time period, preserve it with the battery completely separated.
• For power saving purposes, the HD camcorder will automatically turn off after 5 minutes in standby mode. (Only if
you set “ ” from the menu to on (“ ”).)Auto Power Off 5 min
• When fully discharged, a battery pack damages the internal cells. The battery pack may be prone to leakage
when fully discharged. Charge the battery pack at least once every 6 months to prevent complete discharge of
the battery pack.
About the battery life
Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased usage time between charges becomes
significant, it is probably time to replace it with a new one.
Each battery’s life is affected by storage, operating and environmental conditions.
Using the HD camcorder with the AC power adaptor
It is recommended that you use the AC power adaptor to power the HD camcorder from a household AC outlet
when you perform settings on it, playback, or edit images, or use it indoors. page 13

INSERTING/EJECTING A MEMORY CARD
Inserting a memory card
1. Slide and open the memory card cover.
2. Insert the memory card into the slot until it softly clicks.
• Make sure that the terminal part is facing up and the camcorder is
placed as shown in the diagram.
3. Slide and close the memory card cover.
Ejecting a memory card
1. Slide and open the memory card cover.
2. Slightly push the memory card inwards to pop it out.
3. Pull the memory card out of the slot and slide and close the memory card
cover.
The HD camcorder supports SDHC and MMCplus memory cards for data storage.
The data storage speed may differ, according to the manufacturer and production system.
• SLC (single-level cell) system: faster write speed is enabled.
• MLC (multi-level cell) system: only lower write speed is supported.
For best results, we recommend using a memory card that supports faster write speed.
Using a lower write speed memory card for recording a movie may cause difficulties with storing the movie on the
memory card. You may even lose your movie data during the recording.
In an attempt to preserve any bit of the recorded movie, the HD camcorder forcibly stores the movie on the
memory card and displays a warning: “Low Speed Card. Please record a Lower quality”
If you are unavoidably using a low speed memory card, lower the recording quality by one level “ ” “[HD] Fine, [HD]
Normal.”
You have five quality options to record a movie with the HD camcorder : “ ” “ ” “[HD] Super Fine, [HD]Fine, [HD]
Normal, [SD] Standard, [SD] Economy.” “ ” and “ ”
However, the higher the quality, the more memory that will be used.
Actual formatted capacity may be less as the internal firmware uses a portion of the memory.
