This complete digital recording is capable of recording and playback with minimal image and sound deterioration. In addition, it automatically records data, such as Time Code and Date/Time, as digital signals. Compatibility with S-VHS or VHS Cassettes Because this Camcorder employs a digital system for recording image and sound data, it is not compatible with conventional S-VHS or VHS video equipment that employs an analog recording system. The size and shape of the Cassettes are also different. Compatibility with Output Signals Because AV signal output from the AV signal output Jack is analog (the same as conventional video systems), this Camcorder can be connected with S-VHS or VHS video or a TV for playback. „ Focus Auto Focus Adjustment The Auto Focus System automatically moves forward and backward the focusing lens inside the Camcorder to bring the subject into focus so that the subject can be seen clearly. However, the Auto Focus System does not function properly for the following subjects or under the following recording conditions. Please use the Manual Focus Mode instead. 1) Recording a subject whose one end is located closer to the Camcorder and the other end farther away from it • Because Auto Focus makes adjustments at the center of an image, it may be impossible to focus on a subject that is located in both foreground and background. 2) Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty glass • Because the focus is on the dirty glass, the subject behind the glass will not be focused. 3) Recording a subject in dark surroundings • Because the light information that comes through the lens decreases considerably, the Camcorder cannot focus correctly. 4) Recording a subject that is surrounded by objects with glossy surfaces or by highly reflective objects • Because the Camcorder focuses on the objects with glossy surfaces or on highly reflective objects, the subject may become blurry. 5) Recording a fast-moving subject • Because the focus lens-inside moves mechanically, it cannot keep up with the fast-moving subject. 64 For assistance, please call : 1-800-211-PANA(7262) or, contact us via the web at: http://www.panasonic.com/contactinfo
