Even if Playback Digital Zoom Functions are being used, images that are output from the DV Terminal (l7) or Digital Still Picture Terminal (l37) are not enlarged.

As you enlarge an image, the quality of image suffers.

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 (l57), 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 programme, only the original sound (ST1) may be imported, depending on the software programme.

ªRecording the Contents of Other

Equipment

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.

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 Cassette on the playback-side.

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

Even if Playback Digital Effects or Playback Digital Zoom Function 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.

Do not connect both an S-Video Cable or AV Cable and a DV Cable.

ªRecording on a Card

You cannot record still images from the tape to the Card when a USB Cables is connected.

The sound cannot be recorded. The Shutter Effect cannot be used.

Pictures with wide-screen format signals cannot be copied.

Even if Playbak Digital Effects (MIRROR, MOSAIC, SEPIA, B/W) have been used, these effects do not affect the recording.

Multi-Picture cannot be recorded.

ªPlaying Back a Card

If a blank (nothing recorded) Card is played, the screen becomes white and the [NO PICTURE] Indication appears.

If you attempt to play back a still picture recorded in a different format or a picture whose image data is defective, the [INCOMPATIBLE IMAGE] Indication could appear as warning.

This Movie Camera can also play back the Mega-Pixel still pictures recorded with the other equipment. However it takes longer than usual

time.

When the size of the picture played back is over [1280k960], the picture played back in small size on the LCD Monitor.

ªPhoto Title

The Photo Title Function and Digital Function cannot be used simultaneously.

After recording, the Photo TItle setting is cleared automatically.

The Photo Title Function cannot be used when a DV Cable is connected.

ªFormatting a Card

If a Card becomes unreadable by the Movie Camera, formatting it may make it reusable. Formatting erases all the data recorded on a Card.

When the formatting is completed, the [NO PICTURE] Indication appears.

It may not be possible to use the Card which was formatted using this Movie Camera on another unit. In this case, format the Card on the unit which will be using the Card. Take steps to ensure that valuable pictures are stored on the personal computer, etc. as well before proceeding.

ªDPOF

Perform the DPOF Settings with your own Movie Camera in use.

Verifying the DPOF Settings may take a little time. Wait until the [ACCESS] Lamp goes out.

ªUsing a Card in a Personal

Computer

To erase pictures that you recorded on the Card by using the Movie Camera, be sure to erase them on the Movie Camera, not on the computer.

NV-DS65EG, NV-DS60EG specifications

The Panasonic NV-DS60EG and NV-DS65EG are part of Panasonic's esteemed line of MiniDV camcorders, integrating advanced technology and user-friendly features into compact designs. These camcorders were launched in the early 2000s, appealing to both amateur videographers and those with a more serious interest in video production.

The NV-DS60EG and NV-DS65EG share many core features, including a powerful 1-chip CCD sensor that delivers vivid image quality. The CCD sensor allows for excellent low-light performance, capturing clear and bright footage in various lighting conditions. Both models support MiniDV tape format, which provides superior video quality compared to analog systems.

One standout feature of these camcorders is their 10x optical zoom lens, which enables users to capture distant subjects without losing clarity. This functionality is essential for creating dynamic shots, especially in outdoor environments or events where distance plays a role. The digital zoom capabilities further enhance this versatility, allowing for up to 700x digital zoom, although it's essential to note that while digital zoom extends the range, it can reduce image sharpness.

Another significant characteristic of the NV-DS60EG and NV-DS65EG is the built-in Optical Stabilizer (OIS), which helps to reduce camera shake during handheld shooting. This technology is particularly useful for capturing smooth footage in action or while moving. The ergonomic design of these camcorders, paired with intuitive controls, makes them comfortable to hold for extended periods, catering to both seasoned users and novices.

The LCD screen is another noteworthy feature, providing a clear view for framing shots and adjusting settings. This variable-angle display is essential for creative shooting angles, giving users the flexibility to capture unique perspectives. Additionally, the camcorders offer various shooting modes, enhancing the creative options available, including night mode, which optimizes settings for low-light environments.

In terms of connectivity, both models include options for video output, making it easy to transfer footage to a computer or connect to a television for playback. The Panasonic NV-DS60EG and NV-DS65EG are equipped with digital video (DV) in/out capabilities, enabling seamless transfer of video to and from digital editing systems.

Overall, the Panasonic NV-DS60EG and NV-DS65EG represent a strong entry into the world of digital video with reliable performance and a range of features suitable for recording life’s moments with impressive quality and clarity. Their combination of optical zoom, image stabilization, and user-friendly design have secured these camcorders a lasting legacy within the realm of home video recording.
