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.

When the [PICTURE SIZE] is set to [1760k1320] (NV-GS200)/[1536k1152] (NV-GS120), the Continuous Photoshot cannot be used.

ªRecording Moving Pictures (MPEG4)

(NV-GS200 only)

The following functions are disabled: Self-timer -24-

If you record a subject illuminated with strong light or a highly reflective subject, vertical lines of light may appear.

The sound is recorded in the monaural that is

mixed [L] and [R] of the stereo sound.

When playing back the MPEG4 moving picture recorded by this Movie Camera with other equipment, black bars may appear at the top and bottom of screen.

MPEG4 moving pictures recorded in [SUPERFINE] cannot be recorded in the MultiMediaCard.

If you record wide images as MPEG4 moving pictures when using line input or DV input, the

wide images are recorded in Longwise style. MPEG4 moving pictures may not be recorded

on the card formatted by other equipment (e.g. PC).

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:

A tape and a card is not inserted, while the Tape Recording Mode is set.

A Card is not inserted, while the Card Recording Mode is set.

When you rotate the Mode dial or remove the battery, the Quick Start Recording Lamp is turned off and the Quick Start Mode is canceled. However, if the Movie Camera is turned on and the Tape/Card Recording Mode is set, the Lamp turns on and the Quick Start Mode is restored.

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 along with the Recording Lamp flashing 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. (In the case of NV-GS120, the Self-timer Standby Mode is not cancelled even if you press the Recording Start/Stop Button in the Card Recording Mode.)
