Before Requesting Service

Cleaning Care for Video Heads

Clogged Video Head

(a)Video Head Cleaning: Normally, your Palmcorder will not require head cleaning. However, it is possible that the heads may become clogged due to dust in the air, playing damaged tapes, long term use, etc. If “NEED HEAD CLEANING” appears for 5 seconds in the EVF or LCD monitor, the heads may require cleaning.

(b)Cleaning the Heads: It is recommended that head cleaning be performed by a qualified service technician. Please contact your nearest Panasonic Servicenter. An alternate solution is to obtain a head cleaning cassette. Please use Panasonic cleaning cassette (AY-DVMCLA). Be sure to follow the cleaning instructions carefully. Excessive use of the head cleaning cassette could shorten video head life.

Use this cassette only when a head clogging symptoms occur.

Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

Tape Operations Caution

•When you go from function to function (PLAY, FF, REW etc.), please note that the unit will not accept a new function operation until the previous operation is complete.

•The POWER Button and all function buttons, (PLAY, FF, REW, etc.) are only operational after the tape has been completely loaded.

Lens Hood Area Operation Caution

When the following accessories are attached and the zoom is set to maximum wide angle, the four corners of the sceen may appear darker:

•Wide or Telephoto conversion lens (optional).

•A filter (optional), etc. and then the lens hood.

•Two filters (optional).
