ªPlaying Back on Your TV

Depending on your TV, nothing may be shown even if you correctly connect the Movie Camera with your TV. In this case, set [AV JACK] on the [AV IN/OUT] or [INITIAL] Sub-Menu to [OUT].

If you set [AV JACK] on the [AV IN/OUT] Sub-Menu to [IN/OUT], nothing will be shown on the TV screen except during playback.

Picture size may be displayed differently when playing back a Cinema picture on a wide-screen TV with Playback Digital Effect.

ªAudio Dubbing

The blank section of a tape cannot be dubbed. Sounds sent through the DV Terminal cannot

be dubbed.

If a tape has a non-recorded portion when the tape is dubbed, images and sounds may be disturbed when this portion of the tape is played back.

If you set the tape counter back to 0 at the position where you want to stop Audio Dubbing so as to make it possible to use the Memory Stop Function (-68-), Audio Dubbing is terminated automatically when the tape reaches this position.

In the case of importing data recorded with Audio Dubbing to a PC using the PC’s software, only the original sound (ST1) may be imported, depending on the software.

ªRecording the Contents of Other

Equipment

You cannot record on a card when recording on a tape from external input signals is in progress.

Recording to a Card

If you set the Mode Dial to Card Recording Mode, you can use the Photoshot function for external input signals.

Black streaks may appear at the 4 edges of the image.

Analog-Digital Conversion

When the Movie Camera is connected with other digital video equipment through its DV Terminal, images recorded in analog form from other external equipment can be output to the digital video equipment through the DV Terminal.

To DV-output analog video signals sent from other equipment, set [DV OUT] on the

[AV IN/OUT] Sub-Menu to [ON]. (Normally, keep the [DV OUT] set to [OFF]. If it is set to [ON], the quality of the image may be

disturbed.)

When using AV Cable and DV Cable (optional) at the same time, detach the Grip Belt first for easy connecting.

ªUsing the DV Cable for Recording

(Digital Dubbing)

Regardless of the setting, digital dubbing is carried out automatically in the same audio recording mode as that of the playback Cassette.

The images on the recorded monitor may be disturbed, but it does not affect the recorded images.

Even if Playback Digital Effects, Playback Zoom, or Playback Title In have been used, these effects are not output from the DV Terminal.

Even if you use device equipped with DV Terminals (such as IEEE1394), you may not be able to perform Digital Dubbing in some cases.

Date or other information to be displayed cannot be displayed if the software of the connected equipment does not support the display function.

You cannot record on a card when recording on a tape from external input signals is in progress.

Disconnect the USB Cable since input signals from external input terminal cannot be recorded with connecting the USB Cable.

Cautions for Use

In the event of abnormal operation (e.g. if the unit emits smoke or an unusual smell), immediately stop operating the unit and consult the Panasonic Customer Care Centre on 132600.

ªAfter Use

1Take out the Cassette. (-11-)

2Set the [OFF/ON] Switch to [OFF].

3Take out the Card. (-11-)

4Detach the power supply and retract the Viewfinder or the LCD Monitor. (-8-, -12-)

5To protect the Lens, attach the supplied Lens Cap.

ªCautions for Use

When you use your Movie Camera on a rainy or snowy day or on a beach, make sure that no water enters the Movie Camera.

Water may cause the Movie Camera or Cassette to malfunction. (Irreparable failure may occur.)

If sea water splashes onto the Movie Camera, wet a soft cloth with tap water, wring it well, and use it to wipe the camera body carefully. Then, wipe it again thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.
