Contents Introduction There are varieties of digital camcorder models in the market. Many of them have similar basic features but with different appearance. Learning the basics of how the Canon ZR40 digital camcorder works, you should be able to play around with different camcorders. In this module, you will learn the basic features of Canon ZR40 digital camcorder, how to attach and charge battery packs, load and unload a cassette, record movies and still pictures, zoom, and view your recorded movies on the LCD screen and TV screen. The module is organized in a more sequential manner. You can:

Read the entire module from beginning to end.

Skim through and stop when a topic interests you. Use a site map to find specific information.

If you are new to digital camcorders, or have not used any digital camcorder before, I would recommend you to follow the module. After the getting started section, you will familiarize yourself with the components of Canon ZR40 and how to turn the camcorder on. Then, you can seek out whatever interests you most by skimming or using the site map.

2. Preparation

Now that you are familiar with the parts of Canon ZR40 we can proceed to preparation stages on:

How to hold the camcorder How to get a power source to operate the camcorder.

How to hold a camcorder

Before operating your camcorder, you will need to learn how to hold the camcorder correctly. Follow the directions below to learn how to hold the camcorder.

First of all, grip the camcorder in your right hand and keep your right elbow pressed against your body. Your right hand should be inside the belt grip

Release the Velcro fastening and hold the camcorder with your right hand while you adjust the belt with your left hand.

Your index finger should reach the zoom control and photo button, and your thumb should reach the start/stop button comfortably.

If necessary, support the camcorder with your left hand. With practice, you will be able to operate the control by touch, without taking your eyes off the action.

How to get a power source

Before operating your camcorder, you will need to use the power adapter to charge a battery pack or provide power from an AC outlet.

The following section will introduce you how to attach and charge battery packs by using a flow chart.

11


Your battery pack was more than 50% charged before it left ISC. It should have enough power for you to check that your camcorder is working properly. However, you must charge the battery fully if you want to power the camcorder for more than a few minutes.

To fully charge your battery pack: 1 hour

Maximum recording time: Using Viewfinder 1 hr. 35 min.

: Using LCD screen 1 hr. 15 min.

Maximum playback time : Using LCD screen 1 hr. 20 min.

12


13


Now, in the next section, you will learn how to charge the battery pack.

14


Always turn your camera off before connecting or removing the power source

15


Activities

Review the above procedures and view a sample video (insert a clickable link to the video file) to review the process in attaching and charging the battery packs until you learn how to do it without referring to the manual.

Write down steps and compare your notes with the sample video. Check to see if you miss any step.


With the tools provided: a power adapter, Canon ZR40 camcorder, a power cable, and a battery pack, practice the following:

Attach a battery pack to the camcorder. Write a diagram of connecting the camcorder to an AC outlet.


Write down steps in charging the batter pack in a sequential order. Click here to compare your answers. (Infuse interactivity by using java script to open another pop up windows so that readers can compare their answers.) Loading and Unloading a Videocassette

In this section, you will learn how to load and unload a videocassette. The Canon ZR40 uses only videocassettes marked with the Mini DV logo (Mini DV is a trade mark)

16


17


Do not interfere with the cassette compartment while it is opening or closing automatically, and do not attempt to close the cover until the cassette compartment has fully retracted. When you turn the camcorder’s power on, (picture of no tape) flashes in the display until you load a cassette.

18


Activities

Go back and review steps in loading and unloading the videocassette again. Then write down complete steps and compare results with the sample video. (insert a clickable link to a video file)

So far we have covered everything starting from the grand tour of Canon ZR40 digital camcorder with diagrams for future reference, the preparation stages before using the camcorder e.g. how to hold the camcorder, how to get a power source to operate the camcorder, how to attach and remove the battery packs, how to charge the battery packs, and the last one is how to load and unload the videocassette. With practice activities at the end of each section, you are now ready to move on to learn how to record movies and still digital photos by using Canon ZR40 digital camcorder.
