The USB plug is designed to share your •
videos/pictures to your PC or Laptop.
You can plug the CAM110 directly into
your TV, DVD/Blu-ray player or Home
cinema set (called the host from this
point on), and it will play the pictures that
are stored on the CAM110. To play the
videos from the CAM110, it depends if
your host supports the le format H.264
of the CAM110. Most Blu-ray enabled
players are able to play this format.
How do I connect it to a Windows PC/
laptop?
Connect the camcorder to your PC/ •
laptop via USB. The USB pop-out
connector is strong enough to support
the camcorder when it is plugged into
the PC’s USB port. For easy sharing and

seconds. You can rewind during play of
a movie by pressing the left-button for 2

Please use a small prying object (like
a pen) to insert and press gently for
resetting. After you have reset the
camcorder, please turn on the camcorder
again, and set-up will start again.
Why does the camcorder sometimes not
record the right color?
To record both indoors and outdoors, •
and not having to change any settings,
the camcorder has an automatic white-
balance correction. This enables you
to record both indoors and outdoors
where the amount of light in the
environment changes. If you move fast
from outdoors to indoors, the camcorder
might need some time to correct that,
and in extreme cases the colors might
seem a bit unnatural. However, after

that?
Video les recorded with dual recording •
cannot be edited. To edit video les on
the camcorder, set [Dual recording] to
[Off] before you record video (see ‘Use
your camcorder’ > ‘Adjust settings’).
Tips on video making
You can easily look back on fun moments •
and relive them with the camcorder. To
enjoy these memories to the fullest, here
are some simple video tips:
When capturing videos, hold your •
camcorder steady in your hand
Don’t move too fast when panning •
(i.e. moving the camera horizontally)
as it will be hard to follow what is
captured when you review the video
Try shooting from different angles •
– for example, from the side, from
the front, or even from below. You
can easily join the different video
segments together with the PC
software included
resolution that HD TV programs are
broadcast in. “720” refers to the display
resolution, in terms of the number of
horizontal lines onscreen. “p” stands
for progressive scan, or the sequential
appearance of the lines in each frame. HD
720p gives video quality that is superior
to that found in typical mobile phones
and digital cameras.
How do I play my videos on TV?
To play back on TV, please use an HDMI •
connector (mini HDMI to standard
HDMI) if your TV accepts HDMI input, or
use the video-out cable provided.
Why is there no lens cover?
The camcorder comes without a lens •
cover, keeping it simple to use and
fuss-free. It is made of robust material
that doesn’t scratch under normal
usage. A travel pouch and a lens cloth
are provided, allowing you to keep the
camcorder clean.
What format does the camcorder record in?
The camcorder uses the same video •
format as Blu-ray players and discs –
H.264. This highly sophisticated format
delivers superb HD picture quality.
What does pre-record mean that is in the
setting?
The pre-record button is designed to •
let you never miss a moment. When
you enable the pre-record function, the
camcorder will record video 3 seconds
before you have pressed the record
button. So when you play-back the
recorded lm, you will automatically
see the rst 3 seconds before you have
pressed the record button. This can
be useful when lming unexpected
moments. The pre-record function will
not drain battery life, it will operate as
normal.
