Description
If you were trying to download the HDV-188 user guide/manual from Jazz Camera website, you will not be able to find any. In fact, what you find on the website is just a single big Shockwave swf file. No download link whatsoever.
After much googling and searching high and low from various AV and online gadget forums, finally I managed to locate a copy of the manual. The manual for HDV-188 is in PDF format so you may want to download a PDF reader to view it.
I hope the manual is meant for HDV-188 because frankly speaking I could not find a single word inside the PDF manual mentioning HDV-188. However judging from the list of features/specification as well as the pictures inside the manual, compare to the actual images from Jazz Camera website, I am pretty sure this is the correct manual for HDV-188.
The HDV-188 user manual is 69 pages long and I must say is pretty well-written. There are 12 sections in the manual:
- Section 1 Getting to Know Your Camera
- Section 2 Getting Started
- Section 3 Record Mode
- Section 4 Playback Mode
- Section 5 Listening to MP3 Music
- Section 6 Viewing Movie on PC
- Section 7 Viewing Pictures and Movies on a TV
- Section 8 Video File Converter
- Section 9 Burning the Recorded Clip into DVD
- Section 10 Uploading Video Files to YouTube
- Section 11 Transferring Data to a Computer
- Section 12 Specifications and System Requirements
