A couple of questions have come up about the new Flash HD Camcorders.
Please check go/equipment for more info.
Camcorders are available for a one-day loan and can be reserved in advance through the Circulation Desk.
Flash HD Camcorders include a battery pack, power adapter, and USB cable. Video is recorded onto the camera’s built-in memory, or onto a personal memory card (not included with the camera). No cassette tape needed!
We do not provide memory cards – they can be purchased at the College Bookstore
No firewire cable is needed – a usb cable is provided
(users may need to adjust the usb setting to”pc/printer” or “connect&set”
Quick Tips
To charge: insert pink end of power cord into pink part of camcorder. Light will flash when charging and stay solid red when complete
To turn on: press silver on/off button on top of camera
To start/stop recording: turn the wheel on the back side of camera to the red video camera icon, then press silver button with red dot (next to the icon)
To use USB cord: open LCD screen and insert the small end of the USB cord into the place marked “USB,” and connect other end to computer

I’ve updated the Camcorder section on the go/equipment page with two more “quick tips.” Circ supervisors and students, please let me know any equipment troubleshooting questions that come up, as I’m always updating the go/equipment page.
Thanks, Kellam.
Also – keep in mind that the Media Lab tutors are available to help with questions about using the cameras and downloading footage.
