Index Search Functions

To facilitate searching for desired scenes, this Camcorder automatically records index signals during recording, as explained in the following.

Photoshot Index Signal

These signals are automatically recorded when still pictures on a card are recorded to a tape.

Scene Index Signal

Scene Index Signals are automatically recorded when you start recording after inserting a Cassette.

If [SCENE INDEX] of [RECORDING] Sub-Menu on the [TAPE RECORDING MENU] is set to [2HOUR], an index signal is recorded when recording is restarted after a lapse of 2 hours or longer. If it is set to [DAY], an index signal is recorded when recording is restarted after the date has changed since the last recording. (While the index signal is being recorded, the [INDEX] Indication flashes for a few seconds.)

INDEX

If the Camcorder is switched from the Tape Playback Mode to Tape Recording Mode or if the date and time is set before the start of recording, the index signal is not recorded.

PV-GS120 specifications

The Panasonic PV-GS120 is a compact and versatile MiniDV camcorder that was released as part of Panasonic's popular line of handheld video devices. Designed with the casual filmmaker and family user in mind, this model boasts a variety of features and technologies that set it apart in its category.

One of the primary highlights of the PV-GS120 is its impressive 3CCD imaging system. This technology utilizes three separate image sensors—one for red, one for green, and one for blue—to create vibrant and dynamic video quality. The result is a clearer and more color-accurate image that brings home videos to life with remarkable detail and richness.

The camcorder features a 12x optical zoom lens, which allows users to capture distant subjects with clarity without sacrificing quality. Coupled with a digital zoom capability, it can extend to 700x, although the optical zoom is recommended for maintaining image integrity. This makes the PV-GS120 ideal for recording events like sports games or family gatherings, where the action might occur at a distance.

Another noteworthy aspect of the PV-GS120 is its stabilization features. The built-in digital image stabilization technology mitigates the effects of hand-shake during recording, making it easier to produce smooth, shake-free footage. Whether users are walking while filming or capturing a moving subject, this feature ensures that video remains steady and professional-looking.

In terms of user interface, the PV-GS120 is equipped with a 2.5-inch LCD screen that provides a clear view for framing shots and navigating settings. The intuitive menu design allows even beginners to operate the camcorder with ease. Additionally, it includes a viewfinder for situations where sunlight may make the LCD difficult to see.

The camcorder records in standard MiniDV format, allowing for high-quality playback and easy transfer to a computer for editing. It also supports real-time digital video recording, ensuring that users can easily capture moments as they happen while taking advantage of AAC audio for clear sound quality.

The Panasonic PV-GS120 is powered by a lithium-ion battery, which provides ample recording time for family outings and special occasions. With its lightweight design, excellent battery performance, and a range of features suitable for both novice and experienced users, the PV-GS120 remains a reliable choice for those looking to capture their memories in vibrant detail. Overall, it embodies a blend of user-friendly features and advanced technology, making it a stand-out camcorder in its class.
