Notes and Hints

ª Concerning the Power Supply
≥When the Camcorder is used for a long time,
the Camera body becomes warm, but this is not
a malfunction.
≥If the [CHARGE] Lamp does not light up
although the Battery is attached to the AC
Adaptor, detach the Battery and reattach it.
ª Inserting/Removing the Cassette
≥In the case of using a previously recorded
Cassette, you can use the Blank Search
Function to find the position where you want to
continue recording.
≥If a new Cassette is inserted, rewind to the
beginning of the tape before starting recording.
≥When inserting the cassette, make sure it faces
in the right direction and then push it in until it
stops.
≥When the Cassette Holder is in action, do not
touch anything except the [PUSH] Button.
≥When closing the Cassette Compartment
Cover, do not get anything caught in the cover,
such as a cable of an optional stereo
microphone.
ª Alarm Sounds
When [BEEP SOUND] on the [INITIAL]
Sub-Menu on the [TAPE RECORDING MENU] is
set to [ON], confirmation/alarm beeps are issued
as follows.
1 Beep
≥When you start recording
Others
≥When you switch the [OFF/ON] Switch from
[OFF] to [ON]
2 Beeps
≥When you pause recording
2 Beeps 4 times
≥If you perform a wrong operation before or
during recording.
ª Recording Check
≥For Recording Check, the recording speed
mode (SP/LP) must be the same as the mode
used for the recording. If different, playback
images will be distorted.
ª Recording on a Card
≥Pictures with wide-screen format signals cannot
be copied.
≥When the color of the screen changes or blurs,
adjust the shutter speed manually to 1/60 or
1/100.
Photoshot
≥Sound cannot be recorded.
≥The file format supported by this Camcorder is
JPEG. (Not all JPEG formatted files will be
played back.)
≥If [NORMAL] or [ECONOMY] is selected for
recording, mosaic-pattern noise may appear on
a playback image depending on the image
content.
≥It may not be possible to play back a mega-pixel
still-picture recorded by this Camcorder with
another Camcorder.
≥When there is a high-contrast object ahead or
behind the subject in the focus area, the subject
may not be in focus. In this case, move the
high-contrast object out of the focus area.
(PV-GS200 only)
To record still pictures clearly
≥When zooming in on the subject with
magnification of k4 to k10 or higher, it is
difficult to reduce slight jitters when holding the
Camcorder by hand. We recommend
decreasing the zoom magnification and
approaching the subject when recording.
≥When recording still pictures, hold the
Camcorder firmly with your hands and keep
arms stationary at your side to ensure you do
not shake the Camcorder.
≥You can record stable pictures without jitters
using a tripod and the remote controller.
About the Shutter Chance Mark (PV-GS200
only)
≥The Shutter Chance Mark does not appear in
manual focus mode.
≥When the subject is not easily focused, focus on
the subject manually.
