GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR

CAMERA

Your digital movie camera can record video clips in Full High Definition*. It

includes an operation mode that lets even novice shutterbugs record and play

back without getting flustered, as well as software with which you can easily

create your original DVDs. In addition, it comes with the “Xacti Library” feature

for saving recorded data to hard disk and managing files without using a

computer.

High-quality images with “Full High

Definition*” (pages 71 and 93)

Your camera can capture full high definition (full HD) 1920 × 1080-pixel,

60 fields/s video clips. Also, the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC standard is used for

formatting video files. You get both compact file size and high picture quality

in one high-performance camera.

* “Full High Definition” by SANYO Digital Movie Camera signifies recording at

a resolution of 1920 pixels horizontally ×1080 pixels vertically (when

recording in the ! mode).

English 18

Includes SIMPLE mode for quick-and-easy

operation (page 47)

Select from two shooting/playback modes: the “SIMPLE mode” for users new

to the camera, and the “NORMAL mode” for full use of all the camera’s many

features and functions.

Example:

Image stabilizer for sharp pictures (page 105)

Your camera can compensate for the camera shake that results in blurry

images when you try to capture a fast-moving subject or zoom in on a

subject. Image stabilizer functions for both video clip recording and still image

shots are on board.

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR CAMERA

Sharp face shots (page 116)

Your camera is equipped with a face recognition feature which detects the

subject’s face even when slightly lit from behind or in dim surroundings and

automatically adjusts the focus and brightness to compensate. Now those

otherwise perfect photos that are marred by shadowed faces can be

minimized.

Xacti Library feature (page 182)

The Xacti Library feature feature allows you to save files recorded with your

camera to a large-capacity hard disk without using a computer and play them

back on your TV. No computer operation is involved. You can view full high-

definition images right on your TV screen.

Lots of accessories for optimal use of your

captured images (pages 21 and 4 in the Sanyo

Software Pack INSTRUCTION MANUAL)

Use the accessory cables to view images on a TV or computer. Or

connect the camera directly to a printer to make prints of your photos.

And with the software in the supplied CD-ROM (Sanyo Software Pack),

CAUTION

Using the camera when it is set in the docking station...

iYou can photograph and view images while the camera is set in the

Do not charge the battery pack immediately after the camera has been

in continuous use for a long time

iThe battery pack becomes hot when the camera is used continuously for a

long time. If you attempt to charge the battery pack in this state, the multi-

indicator may flash red and it may not be possible to charge the battery

pack. Wait until the battery pack has cooled down before attempting to

charge it.

Does the battery pack appear swollen?

iThe lithium-ion battery used in this camera may expand slightly when

stored in a hot environment or repeatedly used, but this is not a safety

hazard.

HINT

About the internal backup battery

iThis camera’s internal battery serves to maintain the date and time

settings, as well as the shooting settings. The backup battery will be fully

charged when the battery pack is kept in the camera continuously for about

2 days. In the fully charged state, the backup battery will maintain the

camera settings for about 7 days.

When not using the camera for a long time, remove the battery pack

iA small amount of power is still used even if the camera is turned off, and it

is therefore recommended that the battery pack be removed from the

camera if it is not going to be used for a long time. Note that when the

battery pack is removed for a long period, the time and date settings may

be cleared. Before using your camera again, be sure to confirm that the

camera settings are correct.

To prolong the life of the battery pack

iAlthough the battery pack is an expendable item, you can maximize the life

of the battery by heeding the following suggestions.

hDo not leave the battery under the hot summer sun or exposed to other

high-temperature environments.

hDo not continually recharge the battery when it is already fully charged.

After fully charging it once, for example, use it for a while to partially

discharge it before recharging it again.

hWhen the battery is not to be used for a long time, if possible store the

partially charged (not fully charged) battery in a cool environment.

Using the autofocus

The autofocus will work in almost all situations; however, there are

certain conditions that may cause the autofocus function to not work

properly. If the autofocus function is not working properly, set the focus

range to capture images (page 72).

kk Conditions that may cause incorrect focus

The following examples are some of the situations where the autofocus

function may not work.

ii Subjects with low contrast, very

bright subjects at the center of the

image or dark subjects or locations

Use the focus-lock function to lock the

focus on an object with contrast at the

same distance as the desired subject.

ii Subjects without vertical lines

Use the focus-lock function to lock the

focus while framing the subject

vertically, then re-orient the camera to

compose a horizontally framed image.

English 70

SIMPLE/SHOOTING

The following examples are some of the situations where the autofocus

function may work, but not as desired.

ii When both near and far objects are

present

Use the focus-lock function to lock the

as the desired subject, then reposition

the camera to compose the picture.

ii Fast-moving subjects

Use the focus-lock function to lock the

Hints for taking pictures

Muting the operation sounds

i The audio guidance that sounds when you operate the camera can be

muted (page 147).

Where are the image and audio files saved?

i All the image and sound files are recorded on the card installed in the

camera.

Taking pictures in backlight conditions...

i When taking pictures with the light coming from behind the subject, due to

the characteristics of the lens, ghost patterns (flare phenomenon) may

appear in the captured image. In this situation, it is recommended that you

avoid taking pictures with the subject lit from behind.

While the image files are being recorded...

i While the multi-indicator is flashing red, the image files are being written to

the memory, during which time it is not possible to capture another image.

Another image can be captured after the flashing red indicator turns off.

However, even when the multi-indicator is flashing red, depending on the

camera’s internal memory remaining capacity, in some cases the next

image can be captured about 2 seconds after shooting.

Checking the last image shot (instant review)

i After shooting a picture, you can immediately view it by pressing the SET

button once.

i During instant review of a video clip, normal play, fast reverse play, reverse

frame-by-frame play and pause are available (page 84).

i If you wish to delete the image (for a video clip, it must be in the pause or

stop mode), toggle the SET button up to access the delete function.

i You can view other images while the instant review display is showing by

toggling the SET button to the left or right.

i Cancel the instant review display by toggling the SET button down.

RECORDING SIZE

The image quality of video clips and still images is determined by the

recording size (number of pixels). The larger the recording size, the better the

image quality will be, but the file size will also be larger. Select the recording

size that is correct for the intended purpose.

Movies

You can record video clips in either the HD mode (16:9 horizontal to vertical

aspect ratio) or the SD mode (4:3 aspect ratio). In addition, the higher the

frame rate number, the smoother playback will be. However, as with the

recording size, the file size is also proportionately larger, using up more

memory. This menu is also used when making audio recordings.

“MOVIE”, and press the SET button.
