Please read this together with the instruction manual before using

8

Make a backup of important recorded data

Protect your important recorded data by copying the files to PC. It 
is recommended to copy it from your PC to a DVD or other recording 
media for storage. Refer to the software installation and USB 
connection guide.

8

Make a trial run before recording important data

Play back the recorded data to check that the video and sound have 
been recorded correctly.

8

Check the compatible recording media

The following recording media have been guaranteed to work with 
this camera. Others are not guaranteed to work, so buy such 
products with caution.

Removable hard disks

: Microdrive

®

  from Hitachi, JVC Microdrive

®

 

(CU-MD04)

CompactFlash cards

: By LEXAR, SanDisk and Hagiwara Sys-com

SD memory cards

: By Panasonic, TOSHIBA, pqi (still image only) 

and SanDisk

If other media are used, they may fail to record data correctly, or 
they may lose data that has already been recorded.

Microdrive

®

 of 1GB or below are not supported.

MultiMediaCards are not supported.

For video recording, use a removable hard disk, high-speed 
CompactFlash card (at least 40x speed) or SD memory card (at 
least 10 MB/s).

8

Format recording medium before using

Before using this camera, use the Format function [FORMAT] in the 
menu to format the provided removable hard disk. Also, be sure to 
format newly-purchased CF cards (removable hard disk/
CompactFlash card) and SD cards with this camera before using 
them. This enables stable speeds and operation when accessing the 
recording medium.

8

Take care to hold the camera correctly during 
recording

Do not cover the area near the lens, stereo microphone and camera 
sensor with your finger or any object while recording. Refer to “Index” 
of the instruction manual.

8

When a certain length of time passes without 
operation

When using the battery, the power is turned off automatically to 
conserve power. Use the power switch to turn on the power again.

When using the AC adapter, the access lamp lights up, and the 
LCD turns off (the camera enters the sleep mode). Operation is 
restored once any operation is made.

8

When this camera is connected to PC with the USB 
cable

The recording media become read-only.

It is not possible to delete or move files contained in the recording 
medium, format the recording medium and perform check disks 
(error checks). To perform such operations, use a commercially 
available CF/SD Card Reader/Writer (CF+ Type II compatible).

To maintain high performance of a recording medium, it is 
recommended to perform check disks (error checks) using PC on 
a regular basis. Use a commercially available CF/SD Card 
Reader/Writer (CF+ Type II compatible) to connect to PC, and then 
perform the check disk on the recording medium using the same 
procedure as a regular local disk (C drive). Refer to the instruction 
manual of your PC for check disks.

When you delete the files in the [EXTMOV] folder, perform on the 
PC by using commercially available CF/SD Card Reader/Writer 
(CF+ Type II compatible) or format a recording medium on the 
camera.

8

Reset the camera if it does not operate correctly

This camera uses a microcomputer. Factors such as background 
noise and interference can prevent it from operating correctly. If the 
camera does not operate correctly, reset the camera. Refer to 
“Troubleshooting” of the instruction manual.

8

Bring your camera together with the removable hard 
disk

When requesting repairs for breakdowns by your dealer or JVC 
service center, be sure to bring your camera together with the 
removable hard disk. If one of them is not included, the cause cannot 
be diagnosed, and the repair cannot be made properly.

8

Subsidiary Information

Self-Timer
To turn off the beep sound which lets you know recording start 
timing, set [OPERATION SOUND] to [OFF].

Bracket Shooting
The shutter speed cannot be fixed in the bracket shooting, even 
if the shutter priority is set.

After reading this sheet, store it together with the instruction 
manual, and refer to it when necessary.
