1.5to 2 hours.

3Turn the movie camera on again, set it to the Tape Recording/Playback Mode and

then check if the condensation indication disappears.

Especially in cold areas, moisture may be frozen. If so, it may take more time before the condensation indication disappears.

Coupled with a digital zoom of up to 1000x, the NV-GS27GN provides remarkable flexibility for different shooting scenarios, from wide-angle landscapes to tightly framed portraits. The built-in optical image stabilization technology further ensures that shaky hands do not translate into shaky footage, making every video smooth and visually appealing.

Another significant characteristic of the NV-GS27GN is its intuitive LCD touchscreen interface. The 2.7-inch display allows for easy navigation of settings and playback, enhancing the overall user experience. The inclusion of advanced features like face detection autofocus enables the camcorder to automatically focus on the subject's face, producing sharp and well-defined images.

For those who wish to edit their videos post-capture, the NV-GS27GN supports multiple recording formats, making it easy to transfer and work with footage. Its SD card slot provides ample storage options, allowing users to record hours of high-quality video without the need for frequent media changes.
