When the [SELF TIMER] is set to [ON], the Camcorder records the maximum number of recordable pictures depending on the [BURST MODE] setting.

When using a card formatted by other equipment, intervals between recorded pictures may become large.

If you repeatedly record or erase pictures, intervals between recorded pictures may become large. In this case, back up your important data on a PC, and format your card using this Camcorder.

Recording with the Built-in LED Video Light

The subject should be within 4.9 feet (1.5 metres) 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 Video Light brightens images recorded in a dimly-lit place, however we recommend using it in a bright place in order to obtain high quality images.

Quick Start

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

When 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.

In the following cases, Quick Start is canceled during the Quick Start Standby Mode.

Operate the Mode Dial

The Battery is replaced

If the [QUICK START] Button is pressed and held for approximately 2 seconds during the Quick Start Standby Mode, the Lamp will go off and the Camcorder will be turned off.

If the Camcorder is not operated for approximately 30 minutes when the Quick Start Recording Lamp lights, the Lamp will go off and the Camcorder will be completely turned off.

In the Automatic White Balance Mode, the color may be recorded unnaturally at the beginning of the recording.

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

Self-timer Recording

When [BEEP SOUND] on the [INITIAL] 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, Recording Start/Stop Button or Mode Dial, the Self-timer Standby Mode is canceled.

Zoom In/Out Functions

When you are zooming in on a faraway subject, a sharper focus is achieved if the recording subject is 4 feet (1.2 meters) or further from the Camcorder.

Zoom Microphone Function

The Zoom Microphone Function may not work effectively if the surrounding noise is too loud.

It does not work with the external microphone (For PV-GS14/PV-GS15).

Digital Zoom Functions

As the magnification of digital zoom increases, the quality of image may deteriorate.

White balance cannot be set in the digital zoom range.

Image Stabilizer Function

The Image Stabilizer Function does not operate in a dimly lit place. In this case, the [EIS] Indication flashes.

Under fluorescent lighting, image brightness may change or colors may not look natural.

After-images may appear.

When a tripod is used, it is recommended that you turn the Image Stabilizer off.

Within the digital zoom range, or when recording with a conversion lens attached, the Image Stabilizer Function may not work effectively.

Backlight Compensation Function

When setting the Iris manually, the Backlight Compensation Function does not work.

By operating the [OFF/ON] Switch, the Backlight Compensation Function is canceled.

MagicPix Function

In a bright place, such as outdoors, the recorded picture may become whitish.

In a dark place, the recorded picture is presented in a time-lapse-like manner.

Adjust the Focus manually.

The Progressive Photoshot Function is automatically turned off.

The RapidFire Consecutive Photoshot Function cannot be used.

White Balance cannot be set.

The shutter speed cannot be adjusted.

The Image Stabilizer, Program AE, Multi Title Screen, or Digital Effect Modes in [EFFECT1] cannot be set.
