Special Features

Using a Memory Card

An SD Memory Card or MultiMediaCard can be used to record files or play back files.

≥Use a genuine SD Memory Card or MultiMediaCard manufactured by Panasonic only.

ªInserting a Memory Card

Before inserting a Memory Card, be sure to turn off the Palmcorder.

1Open the Card Slot Cover.

2While holding the Memory Card with its cut corner A facing right, insert it into the Card Slot.

3Close the Card Slot Cover securely.

ªRemoving the Memory Card

Open the Card Slot Cover, press the center of the Card and then pull it straight out.

≥After removing the Card, close the Card Slot Cover.

≥The Palmcorder or the Card may be damaged if the Card is forced out when the Card is fully inserted.

ª[ACCESS] Lamp

While the Palmcorder is accessing the Card (reading, recording, playback, erasing, moving of images), the [ACCESS] Lamp 1 lights up.

≥While the [ACCESS] Lamp is on, never attempt to: pull out the Card, to turn off the Palmcorder power, or switch the [TAPE/CARD/CARD MODE] Selector. Such actions will damage the Card and cause the Palmcorder to malfunction.

Recording on the Memory Card

3 kinds of data can be recorded by selecting with the [TAPE/CARD/ CARD MODE] Selector. When recording a still picture, slide the [TAPE/ CARD/CARD MODE] Selector until the [PICTURE] Indication 1 appears (Card PhotoShot), when recording a moving picture, slide the [TAPE/CARD/ CARD MODE] Selector until the [MPEG4] Indication 2 appears (MPEG4 Recording), when recording voice, slide the [TAPE/CARD/CARD MODE] Selector until the [VOICE] Indication 3 appears (Voice Recording).

≥For other notes, see page 70.

ªCard PhotoShot

Still pictures can be recorded on the Memory Card from the Palmcorder lens as well as from scenes that have already been recorded on a cassette.

The size of images that are recorded using this Palmcorder is approximately 3,000,000 pixels. Recording of images with a size that is larger than a million pixels is called mega-pixel still-picture recording. Compared to images of normal recording, images that are created by mega-pixel still-picture recording can be printed out more clearly.

Recording from the Palmcorder Lens (CAMERA Mode)

1Slide the [TAPE/CARD/CARD MODE] Selector to [CARD].

2Slide the [TAPE/CARD/CARD MODE] Selector to

[CARD MODE] until the [PICTURE] Indication appears.

3Set [CAMERA FUNCTIONS] >> [CARD SETUP] >> [PICTURE SIZE] >> [2048t1496] or [640t480].

Concerning Low Light Shot

When recording dark scenes, set the [LOW LIGHT SHOT] of the
