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 ≥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. -71-
