Panasonic HC-V100 About the AC adaptor, Prepare spare batteries when going out for recording

Page 99

Extremely high temperatures or low temperatures will shorten the life of the battery.

If the battery is kept in high-temperature, high-humidity, or oily-smoky places, the terminals may rust and cause malfunctions.

To store the battery for a long period of time, we recommend you charge it once every year and store it again after you have completely used up the charged capacity.

Dust and other matter attached to the battery terminals should be removed.

Prepare spare batteries when going out for recording.

Prepare batteries enough to last for 3 to 4 times the period you are planning to record for. Cold places such as a ski resort can shorten recording time.

If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the terminals are damaged.

Inserting a battery with damaged terminals can damage the unit.

Do not throw old battery into fire.

Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may result in an explosion.

If the operating time is very short even after the battery has been recharged, the battery has worn out. Please purchase a new battery.

About the AC adaptor

If the temperature of the battery is extremely high or extremely low, charging may take time or the battery may not be charged.

If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor 1 m or more away from the radio.

When using the AC adaptor, it may generate whirring sounds. However, this is normal.

After use, be sure to disconnect the AC adaptor. (If it is left connected, a minute amount of current is consumed.)

Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor and battery clean.

These compact camcorders are designed to capture high-quality videos while ensuring ease of use, which is paramount for capturing those important moments effortlessly.

At the core of both the HC-V100M and HC-V100 is their 1/5.8-inch BSI (Back Side Illumination) CMOS sensor.

Coupled with a powerful Leica Dicomar lens, these camcorders offer an impressive 42x intelligent zoom, providing the flexibility to capture distant subjects with clarity while minimizing image distortion.

Another standout feature of the HC-V100M and HC-V100 is the 5-Axis Hybrid Optical Image Stabilizer. This technology effectively reduces blur caused by hand shake, delivering smooth and steady footage regardless of movement. Whether you are capturing dynamic action shots or more stationary scenes, the stabilization ensures a professional quality to video content.

Additionally, both models are equipped with Intelligent Auto mode, which analyzes the scene being recorded and automatically adjusts settings for optimal results. This makes it easy for novice users to achieve stunning footage without the need for extensive technical knowledge. Furthermore, the camcorders support Full HD 1080p video recording, providing exceptional detail and clarity.

One of the key characteristics of the HC-V100M model is its built-in Wi-Fi capability, which allows for seamless sharing of videos and photos directly to social media or other devices. Users can also remotely control the camcorder using their smartphones, adding a layer of convenience for those who might want to be part of the shot without needing additional help.

Both camcorders feature a 2.7-inch LCD screen that can be tilted for better visibility and framing. This user-friendly interface allows for easy navigation through settings, making it simple to start recording with just a few taps.

In conclusion, the Panasonic HC-V100M and HC-V100 camcorders are excellent tools for those looking to document their lives creatively and conveniently. With their robust features, including high-quality imaging, effective stabilization, and user-friendly functionality, these models stand out in the crowded market of consumer camcorders, empowering users to capture their unforgettable moments with ease and precision.
