Panasonic NV-GS150GN Inserting/removing a cassette, When the cassette holder does not Come out

Page 10

Before using

The battery CGA-DU12 is supplied.

The times shown in the table are rough estimates. The times indicate the recordable times when the viewfinder is used. The times in parentheses indicate the recordable times when the LCD monitor is used.

We recommend the Battery Pack CGA-DU12, CGA-DU14 and CGA-DU21 for long time recording (2 hours or more for continuous recording, 1 hour or more for intermittent recording).

The recordable time will become shorter in the following cases:

When you use both the viewfinder and the LCD monitor simultaneously while rotating the LCD monitor frontward to record yourself, using the 0 lux night view function, etc.

When you use this camera with the LCD monitor lit up by pressing the [POWER LCD] button.

When you use accessories fitted on the camera’s smart accessory shoe such as the stereo zoom microphone and video DC light, etc.

The batteries heat up after use or charging. The main unit of the movie camera being used will also heat up. This is normal.

Along with the reduction of the battery capacity, the display will change: r# s# t# u# v. If the battery discharges, then u(v) will flash.

4Only after the cassette holder is completely housed, close the cassette cover.

After using, make sure to rewind the cassette completely, remove it, and put it in a case. Store

the case in an upright position. (-55-)

When condensation is formed on the lens or the main unit of the movie camera, even if no condensation alarm is indicated, condensation may have formed on the heads or the cassette tape. Do not open the cassette cover. (-52-)

ªWhen the cassette holder does not

come out

Close the cassette cover completely, and then open it again completely.

Check if the battery has run down.

ªWhen the cassette holder cannot be

housed

Set the [OFF/ON] switch to [OFF], then to [ON] again.

Check if the battery has run down.

ªInserting/removing the cassette

When the cassette holder is in action, do not touch anything except the [PUSH] mark.

When inserting a previously recorded cassette, use the blank search function to find the position where you want to continue recording. If you overwrite-record on a previously recorded cassette, be sure to find the position where you continue recording.

Close the cassette cover tightly.

When closing the cassette cover, do not get anything, such as a cable, caught in the cover.

ªAccidental erasure prevention

If the accidental erasure prevention slider 1 of a cassette is opened (slide in the direction of the [SAVE] arrow), the cassette cannot be recorded. When recording, close the accidental erasure prevention slider of the cassette (slide in the direction of the [REC] arrow).
