Viewfinder Bright, Color and Tint Control (only for VM-E310A)

This small "BRIGHT", "COLOR" and "TINT" controls are set at the factory and should

require no adjustment. If they ever require adjustment, use a plastic screwdriver. Make

the adjustments with caution to prevent damaging the miniature controls.

Getting Started

This section guides you through the initial preparation of the camcorder. None of these

processes are complex. Set aside some time, relax, and familiarize yourself with this

quality instrument.

Enjoy getting to know all about your Hitachi 8mm camcorder. The more comfortable and

familiar you are with the machine and its features, the more you can make it do for you.

Let's get started!

It is crucial that you read and understand all the safety instructions before you begin. If

you haven't read the safety instructions yet, please take the time to do so now.

Charging the Battery

The first step is to set the battery to charge. It takes approximately an hour (VM-BP82 and

VM-BP82G), enough time to familiarize yourself with some of the basic features of the

camcorder. Once charged the battery will give you approximately 60 ~ 70 minutes of operating

time depending on the use of Zoom and start/stop.

Charge the battery at a temperature range of 50°F(10°C) - 86°F (30°C) to prevent damage to

the battery.

1. Plug the AC adapter/charger power cord into an AC outlet. Make sure that the wide blade

fits into the wide slot. If it doesn't fit try reversing it. If you still cannot make fit the blades fully

into the outlet either contact an electrician to replace your obsolete outlet, or use a polarized

cord or outlet accessory.

2. To insert the battery into the charger align the reference arrow on the battery with the

reference arrow on the AC adapter/charger. Push the battery till it is flush with the AC

adapter/charger sliding it in the direction of the arrow as shown in the figure.

3. The CHARGE light remains on while the battery charges, turning off when charging
