ªRecording Check

For Recording Check, the recording speed mode (SP/LP) must be the same as the mode used for the recording. If different, playback images will be distorted.

ªRecording on a Card (NV-GS15 only)

Even if the [SHTR EFFECT] is set to [ON], the Shutter Effect cannot be recorded on the picture.

Pictures with wide-screen format signals cannot be copied.

When the colour of the screen changes or blurs, adjust the shutter speed manually to 1/50 or 1/100.

Photoshot

The sound cannot be recorded.

The file format supported by this Movie Camera is JPEG. (Not all the JPEG formatted files will be played back.)

If [NORMAL] or [ECONOMY] is selected for recording, mosaic-pattern noise may appear on a playback image depending on the image content.

Continuous Photoshot

One more still picture may be recorded after you release the [PHOTO SHOT] Button.

The Continuous Photoshot and Title Function cannot be used simultaneously.

When the [SELF TIMER] is set to [ON], the Movie Camera records the maximum number of pictures recordable depending on the [BURST MODE] setting.

When using the card formatted by other equipment, intervals of recording pictures may become large.

If recording or erasing pictures is repeated many time, intervals of recording pictures may become large. In this case, back up your important data on PC, and format your card by this Movie Camera.

Intervals of recording pictures may become large depending on the card. We recommend using Panasonic SD Memory Card.

ªRecording with the Built-in LED Video

Light

The subject should be within 1.5 metres of the Movie Camera.

Using the LED Video Light reduces battery time. Set the LED Video Light to off when not in use. Do not look directly into the light.

If the LED Video light is used with a Conversion lens attached, a slight vignetting (darkening around edges) effect occurs on the screen.

Using the Night View Function at the same time will make conditions even brighter.

The LED Video Light enables to lighten simply the images taken in a dimly-lit place. However we recommend using it in a bright place in order to obtain the high quality images.

ªQuick Start

During the Quick Start Standby Mode, a minute amount of electricity is consumed.

When the Movie Camera is left in the Recording Pause Mode for 6 minutes, it will be turned into the Quick Start Standby Mode. To turn the Movie Camera on again, set the [OFF/ON] Switch to [OFF] and then set it to [ON] again. (The Quick Start Mode will be restored.)

This Function is not activated in the following cases:

Neither a card nor a tape has been inserted, while the Tape/Card Recording Mode is set.

In the following cases, Quick Start is cancelled during the Quick Start Standby Mode.

Operate the Mode Dial. The Battery is replaced

If the [QUICK START] Button is pressed and held for approximately 2 seconds during the Quick Start Standby Mode, the Lamp will go off and the Movie Camera will completely be turned off.

If the Movie Camera is not operated for approximately 30 minutes when the Quick Start Recording Lamp lights, the Lamp will go off and the Movie Camera will completely be turned off.

In the Automatic White Balance Mode, the

colour may be recorded unnaturally at the beginning of the recording.

The zoom magnification differs from when it is in the Quick Start Standby Mode and when the recording starts.

ªSelf-timer Recording

When [BEEP SOUND] on the [INITIAL] Sub-Menu is set to [ON], the beep sound will be emitted in the Self-timer Standby Mode.

By operating the [OFF/ON] Switch, Recording Start/Stop Button or Mode Dial, the Self-timer Standby Mode is cancelled.

ªZoom In/Out Functions

When you are zooming on a faraway subject, a sharper focus is achieved if the recording subject is 1.2 metres or further from the Movie Camera.

When you record pictures with 10k or more of magnification, the Movie Camera is susceptible to camera shake. We recommend using a tripod.
