Others 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 ≥When you record pictures in the Tape Recording Mode, the brightness of the picture may differ from the one recorded in the Card Recording Mode. ≥Sound cannot be recorded. ≥The file format supported by this Camcorder is JPEG. ≥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. ≥When the Picture size is set to [2288k1728], [1600k1200] or [1280k960], the scene around the subject can be recorded wider than that in [640k480]. ≥When the [PICTURE SIZE] is set to [1280k960] in the Tape Recording Mode, the effect set in Fade In/Out Function cannot be recorded on the recorded still pictures. To record still pictures clearly ≥When zooming in on the subject with magnification of k4 to k12 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 jitter using a tripod and the Remote Controller. About the Shutter Chance Mark ≥The Shutter Chance Mark does not appear in manual focus mode. ≥When the subject is not easily focused, focus on the subject manually. ≥You can record still pictures on the card even if the Shutter Chance Mark does not appear. However, images may be recorded without being focused. ≥The Shutter Chance Mark does not appear or may not be displayed in the following cases. ≥When the zoom magnification is high. ≥When the Camcorder is shaken. ≥When the subject is moving. ≥When the subject stands against the light source. ≥When close subjects and far subjects are included in the scene. ≥When the scene is dark. ≥When there is a bright part in the scene. ≥When the scene is filled with only horizontal lines. ≥When the scene lacks contrast. RapidFire Consecutive Photoshot ≥One more still picture may be recorded after you release the [PHOTO SHOT] Button. ≥The RapidFire Consecutive Photoshot and Title Function cannot be used simultaneously. ≥When the [SELF TIMER] is set to [ON], the Camcorder records the maximum number of pictures recordable depending on the [BURST MODE] setting. ≥When using a card formatted by other equipment, intervals between pictures may become large. ≥If recording or erasing pictures is repeated many times, intervals between pictures may become large. In this case, back up your important data on a PC, and format your card using this Camcorder. ≥Intervals between recording pictures may become large depending on the card. We recommend using a Panasonic SD Memory Card. ≥When the [PICTURE SIZE] is set to [1280k960]/[1600k1200]/[2288k1728], the RapidFire Consecutive Photoshot cannot be used. ª Quick Start ≥About half the amount of electricity used in normal recording is consumed during the Quick Start Standby Mode. Therefore, the available recording time will be shortened when you activate the Quick Start Standby Mode. ≥When the Camcorder is left in the Recording Pause Mode for 5 minutes, it will switch to 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 cases: ≥A tape and a card are not inserted while in Tape Recording Mode. ≥A card is not inserted, while in Card Recording Mode. 75
