How to Use a JVC Camcorder

It's hard to imagine life in the 21st century without video cameras. Most of us use a camcorder to capture all of life's enjoyable events. With the right helpful hints, you can use a JVC camcorder with ease.

Instructions

1. Make sure your JVC camcorder is charged properly. Buy a second battery if you know you'll have long events to record.

2. Remove the cap first before using your JVC camcorder. You'd be surprised how many consumers forget this step.

3. Decide whether you want to use the eyepiece or the flat LCD screen to view and record. Most consumers prefer the LCD screen.

4. Choose either automatic or manual color recording. The manual color recording option will require you to preset the color preferences before recording. Most consumers use automatic color adjustment.

5. Push the red button to record.

6. Push the red button again in order to pause your recording.

7. Check the screen periodically to make sure you didn't accidentally hit pause while you thought you were recording. You'll see the word "pause" on the screen if you're not recording.

Tips & Warnings

• Close the LCD screen to conserve battery power.

• Carry multiple tapes in case you run out of blank tapes. This way you can continue recording even after you fill up a tape.

• Flip the small plastic tab on your tape after you've filled it up. This will prevent you or someone else from accidentally recording important events.
