ªAbout the AC adaptor

If the battery is warm, charging requires more time than normal.

If the temperature of the battery is extremely high or extremely low, the [CHARGE] lamp may continue flashing, and the battery may not be charged. After the battery temperature has decreased or increased sufficiently, recharging starts automatically. So, wait for a while. If the lamp still continues flashing even after the recharging, the battery or AC adaptor may be faulty. If so, please contact a dealer.

If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC

adaptor 1 m (3.3 feet) or more away from radio. When using the AC adaptor, it may generate

whirring sounds. However, this is normal.

After use, be sure to pull out the AC Cable from the AC Jack. (If they are left connected, a

minute amount of current is consumed.) Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor

and battery clean.

ªAbout the cassette

Never place the cassette in a high temperature place.

The tape may be damaged, producing mosaic-like noise at the time of playback.

When storing the cassette after use, be sure to rewind the tape to the beginning and take it out.

If the cassette is left for more than 6 months (depending on the storage condition) in the

Camcorder or stopped midway, the tape may sag and be damaged.

Once every 6 months, wind the tape to the end and then rewind it to the beginning. If the cassette is left for 1 year or longer without winding or rewinding, the tape may be deformed by expansion or shrinkage attributable to temperature and humidity. The wound tape may stick to itself.

Dust, direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays), and humidity may damage the tape. Such usage may cause damage to the Camcorder and the heads.

After use, be sure to rewind the tape to the beginning, put the cassette in the case to

protect it from dust, and store it upright.

Keep the cassette away from strong magnetism.

Apparatus using magnets such as magnetic necklaces and toys have a magnetic force that is stronger than expected, and they may erase the contents of a recording or may increase noise.

ªLCD monitor/viewfinder

LCD monitor

When the LCD monitor gets dirty, wipe it with a dry soft cloth.

In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may form on the LCD monitor. Wipe it with soft dry cloth.

If your Camcorder is extremely cold, the LCD monitor is slightly darker than usual immediately after you turn the power on. However, as the internal temperature increases, it goes back to normal brightness.

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen featuring a total of approximately 123,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.

Viewfinder

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the viewfinder screen featuring a total of approximately 113,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.

ªPeriodical check-ups

To maintain the highest image quality, we recommend replacing worn parts such as heads after approx. 1000 hours of use. (This, however, depends on operating conditions including temperature, humidity and dust.)

The camcorder boasts a 25x optical zoom lens, providing the versatility needed for a variety of shooting situations. Whether capturing distant subjects or creating dynamic close-ups, the Panasonic PV-GS90 delivers sharp and clear images. The built-in optical image stabilization ensures that even handheld shots maintain clarity, significantly reducing the impact of shaky hands during recording.

For those who enjoy shooting in diverse lighting conditions, this camcorder is equipped with a powerful low-light capability. The enhanced sensitivity of the 3CCD sensor allows users to capture clear images in dimly lit environments, expanding creative possibilities. Moreover, the advanced automatic exposure and white balance features help ensure optimal performance across various lighting scenarios.

Another significant advantage of the PV-GS90 series is its ease of use. The intuitive interface, complete with a flip-out LCD screen, enables users to navigate settings and review footage effortlessly. This makes it an excellent choice for beginners who are looking to explore the world of videography without being overwhelmed by complicated controls.

Additionally, the camcorders support a range of recording formats and resolutions, offering flexibility for both amateur and more serious filmmakers. With the capacity to capture both standard and high-resolution video, users can choose the setting that best suits their project needs.

In summary, the Panasonic PV-GS90PL-S and PV-GS90P stand out in the camcorder market due to their 3CCD technology, versatile zoom capabilities, low-light performance, and user-friendly design. They are ideal for anyone looking to capture life’s moments with high-quality video and ease of operation.
