Built-in Hard Disk
This hard disk camera records images to a
large, built-in hard disk drive (HDD) instead of a
DV tape like conventional video cameras. This
enables extended hours of high-resolution,
MPEG2 video recording.
Various Recording Modes
You can select the most suitable recording mode
for picture quality, image size, recording time,
and computer environment. (墌pg. 62)
Enjoying Various Playback Features
Unlike tape operation, playback is simple and
easy in this camera since no time is needed for
rewinding or fast forward operations.
Playlist, playback effects,
and other functions are
also available for
enjoying many different
types of playback.
Editing Files on your PC
USB 2.0 enables the
smooth transfer of video
and still images to a
computer. With the
bundled image editing
software, you can easily
edit video and create your own DVDs. (Refer to
“Read this first!” and the software installation
and USB connection guide.)
Direct Printing
If your printer is
compatible with
PictBridge, still images
can be printed easily by
connecting the camera
with USB cable directly to the printer. (墌pg. 47)

NOTES:
● This product includes patented and other
proprietary technology and will operate only
with JVC Data Battery. Use the JVC BN-
VF707U/VF714U/VF733U battery packs. Using
generic non-JVC batteries can cause damage
to the internal charging circuitry.
● If the protective cap is attached to the battery
pack, remove it first.
● During charging, the camera cannot be operated.
● Charging is not possible if the wrong type of
battery is used.
● Make sure to use the battery pack with the arrow
( ) mark. The camera does not turn on with the
battery mount cover without the arrow ( ) mark.
● When charging the battery pack for the first time
or after a long storage period, the power/charge
lamp may not light. In this case, remove the
battery pack from the camera, then try charging
again.
● If the battery operation time remains extremely
short even after having been fully charged, the
battery is worn out and needs to be replaced.
Please purchase a new one.
● Since the AC adapter processes electricity
internally, it becomes warm during use. Be sure to
use it only in well-ventilated areas.
● Using the optional AA-VF7 battery charger, you
can charge the BN-VF707U/VF714U/VF733U
battery pack without the camera.
● After 5 minutes has elapsed in record-standby
mode, the camera will automatically turn off its
power supplied from the AC adapter. In this case,
the battery charge starts if the battery is attached
to the camera.
Using the Battery Pack
Perform steps 2 – 3 in “Charging the Battery
Pack”.
Maximum continuous recording time
* Provided
( ): When the LED light is on.
NOTES:
● Recording time is reduced significantly under the
following conditions:
• Zoom or record-standby mode is engaged
repeatedly.
• Playback mode is engaged repeatedly.
● Before extended use, it is recommended that you
prepare enough battery packs to cover 3 times the
planned recording time.
A
TTENTION:
● Before detaching the power source, make sure
that the camera’s power is turned off. Failure to do
so can result in a camera malfunction.
● If the camera is a subject to electrostatic
discharge, turn the power off before using it again.

Data Battery System
You can check the remaining battery power and
the recordable time.
1 Make sure the battery is attached.
2 Open the LCD monitor fully.
3Press INFO/ repeatedly, and the battery
status screen appears.
● It is displayed for approx. 3 seconds if the
button is pressed and released quickly, and for
approx. 15 seconds if the button is pressed
and held for several seconds.
● If “COMMUNICATING ERROR” appears
instead of the battery status even though you
tried to press INFO/ several times, there
may be a problem with your battery. In such a
case, consult your nearest JVC dealer.
● The recordable time display should only be
used as a guide. It is displayed in 10 minute
units.
Using AC Power
Perform step 4 in “Charging the Battery Pack”.
NOTE:
The provided AC adapter features automatic voltage
selection in the AC range from 110 V to 240 V.
About Batteries
DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries
apart, or expose them to flame or excessive
heat, as it may cause a fire or explosion.
WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its
terminals to come in contact with metals, as this
can result in a short circuit and possibly start a
fire.
To resume the original function of the
accurate battery power indication
If the battery power indication differs from the
actual operating time, fully charge the battery,
and then run it down. However this function may
not turn back if the battery was used for a long
period of time under extremely high/low
temperature condition or charged too many
times.
