„Recording on a Card

•Even if the [ SHTR EFFECT] is set to [ON], the Shutter Effect cannot be recorded on the picture.

•When the color of the screen changes or blurs, adjust the shutter speed manually to 1/60 or 1/100.

Photoshot

•Photoshot Recording results in slightly inferior image quality.

•For the number of still pictures to be recorded on a card, refer to page 27.

•The sound cannot be recorded.

•While data is being recorded on a card, do not operate the Mode Dial.

•When the Access Lamp is lit, do not insert or remove a card.

•Another product may degrade or not play back data recorded on this Camcorder.

•If set [ PICT. QUALITY] >> [ ], mosaic-pattern noise may appear on a playback image depending on the picture content.

RapidFire Consecutive Photoshot

•One more still picture may be recorded after you release the [PHOTO SHOT] Button.

•If [ BASIC] >> [ SELF TIMER] >> [YES] is set, the Camcorder records the maximum number of pictures recordable.

•Intervals between recording pictures may become longer depending on the card. We recommend using a Panasonic SD Memory Card.

•When using a card formatted by other equipment or a card that was recorded and erased repeatedly, the intervals between recording pictures may become longer. If so, back up your important data on a PC, and format your card with this Camcorder.

„Recording with the Built-in LED Video

Light

•The subject should be within 4.9 feet (1.5 meters) of the Camcorder.

•Using the LED Video Light reduces battery time.

•Set the LED Video Light to off when not in use.

•Do not look directly into the light.

•If the LED Video light is used with a Conversion lens attached, a slight vignetting (darkening around edges) effect occurs on the screen.

•Using the MagicPix Function at the same time will make conditions even brighter.

•The LED video light enables simply lightening the images taken in a dimly-lit place. We also recommend using it in a bright place to obtain high quality images.

„Quick Start

•During the Quick Start Standby Mode, a minute amount of electricity is consumed.

•When you set [ POWER SAVE] to [5 MINUTES] and the Camcorder is left in the Recording Pause Mode for 5 minutes, it will be turned into the Quick Start Standby Mode. To turn the Camcorder on again, set the [OFF/ON] Switch to [OFF] and then set it to [ON] again. (The Quick Start Mode will be restored.)

•This Function is not activated in the following case:

•Neither a card nor a tape has been inserted while the Tape/Card Recording Mode is set.

•When you rotate the Mode Dial or remove the battery, the Quick Start Recording Lamp is turned off and the Quick Start mode is canceled. If

the Camcorder is turned on and the Tape/Card Recording Mode is set, the Lamp turns on and the quick start mode is restored.

•Press and hold the [QUICK START] Button for approx 2 seconds during the Quick Start Standby Mode. The Lamp will go off and the Camcorder will be turned off.

•If the standby continues for approx. 30 minutes, then the Lamp will go off and the Camcorder will be completely turned off.

•When the Camcorder is Quick-Started with the White Balance on automatic, it may take some time until the White Balance is adjusted if the scene being recorded has a light source different from the scene last recorded. (When the MagicPix Function is used, however, the White Balance of the scene last recorded is retained.)

•Since about half the power of normal recording is used in quick start standby, using Quick Start reduces the recordable time.

•The zoom magnification may differ from when it is in the Quick Start Standby Mode and when the recording starts.

„Self-timer Recording

•When [ BEEP SOUND] on the [ SETUP] Sub-Menu is set to [ON], the beep sound will be emitted along with the Recording Lamp flashing in the Self-timer Standby Mode.

•By operating the [OFF/ON] Switch or Mode Dial, the Self-timer Standby Mode is canceled.

„Zoom In/Out Functions

•When zooming in and taking a picture while holding the Camcorder by hand, we recommend using the image stabilizer function.

•When you are zooming in on a faraway subject, a sharper focus is achieved if the recording subject is 4 feet (1.2 meters) (PV-GS19) / 4.3 feet (1.3 meters) (PV-GS31/PV-GS35) or further from the Camcorder.

•When the zoom speed is high, the subject may not be focused easily.
