3) Supplying Power with the Battery

Before use, fully charge the Battery.

When charging, do not connect the DC Input Lead to the AC Adaptor.

When the [CHARGE] Lamp Flashes Continuously

If the temperature of the Battery is extremely low or extremely high, the [CHARGE] Lamp on the AC Adaptor flashes continuously. It also flashes continuously when some malfunction has occurred in the Battery or the AC Adaptor. For details, read “Notes about the AC Adaptor”. (p. 115)

≥Charge the Battery at a room temperature between

10oC and 30oC.

≥If the DC Input Lead is connected to the AC Adaptor,

disconnect it as charging is not possible otherwise.

≥If the [CHARGE] Lamp does not light even though the

Battery is attached, remove the Battery and then reattach it.

≥During recording and charging, the Battery becomes

warm. However, this is normal.

≥If the temperature of the Battery is extremely high or

extremely low, the [CHARGE] Lamp may keep on flashing and charging is not possible. After the Battery has cooled down or warmed up sufficiently, charging starts automatically.

Have the front edge of the battery lined up with

1 mark on the side

the of the AC Adaptor, and then slide it horizontally until it locks with a click.

Connect the AC Mains Lead to the AC Adaptor and an AC mains socket.

Checking If the Picture Is Recorded

To play back the final few seconds of the last recorded scene in the Recording Pause Mode.

(Recording Check)

∫ Video Head Clogging and Remedy

When the video heads (which contact the tape) are dirty, the playback picture contains mosaic-like patterns or the whole screen becomes black. If they become even more dirty, the recording performance deteriorates and in the worst case, recording may not be possible at all.

Causes of Dirty Video Heads

≥A lot of dust in the air ≥High-temperature and high-humidity environment ≥Damaged tape ≥Long-time use

Press the Recording Check Button [S] briefly in the Recording Pause Mode.

The [CHK] Indication appears. After checking, the Movie Camera returns to the Recording Pause Mode.

Using the Mini-DV Format Digital Video Head Cleaner (VFK1451)

Insert the Head Cleaner into the Movie Camera in the same way as a video cassette.

Press the Play Button [1], and after approximately 20 seconds press the Stop Button [∫]. (Do not rewind the tape.)

Take out the Head Cleaner. Insert a video cassette, perform recording and then play it back to check the picture.

If the picture is still not clear, repeat above operation steps 1–3. (Do not use the Head Cleaner more than 3 times in succession.)

≥This Video Head Cleaner (VFK1451) is available

from Panasonic service centres.

Notes:

≥Do not rewind the tape in the Head Cleaner after

every use. Rewind it only after the tape has reached its end, and then use it again in the same way from the beginning.

≥If the video heads again become clogged with dirt

soon after cleaning, this might be caused by a damaged tape. In this case, stop using that cassette immediately.

≥Be careful not to clean the video heads too much.

(Too much cleaning could cause excessive wear to the video heads. If the video heads get worn, the picture is not played back clearly even after cleaning.)

≥If using the Head Cleaner does not clear the video

head clogging, the Movie Camera requires cleaning or repairing by a service centre. Please consult with your dealer.

≥Video head cleaning due to clogging is not a

malfunction of the product and is not covered by your warranty.

≥For Recording Check, the Movie Camera must be in

the same mode (SP or LP) as used for recording, otherwise the playback picture is distorted.

Mirror Mode for the Picture on the LCD Monitor

You are used to looking at yourself in the mirror. Therefore, when recording yourself with the LCD Monitor facing forward, the picture (as it is being recorded) might look unusual and distracting. If you prefer to see yourself on the LCD Monitor in the same way as you see yourself in a mirror, i.e. with the sides reversed, set [SELFSHOOT] on the [OTHER FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu to [MIRROR]. However, the picture will still be recorded in the normal, non-reversed way. This Mirror Mode for the picture on the LCD Monitor works only during recording and in the Recording Pause Mode with the LCD Monitor facing forward. Also, it is completely different from the Mirror Mode of the Digital Effects 1. (p. 52)

Opening the LCD Monitor automatically turns off the Viewfinder. However, when you turn the LCD Monitor forward, the picture also appears in the Viewfinder. This lets you aim the Movie Camera and view the picture in the Viewfinder, while the persons in front of the Movie Camera can check the picture on the LCD Monitor during recording.

Recording with Natural Colours

(White Balance)

This Movie Camera automatically adjusts the white balance to ensure that the pictures are recorded with natural colours. For certain types of subjects and lighting conditions, however, this Auto White Balance Adjustment Mode may not be able to ensure natural colours. (p. 119) In these cases, you can select either one of the 3 modes explained below (indoor, outdoor or the last manually adjusted white balance setting), or you can manually adjust the white balance.

The modes change in the following order:

1 Automatic White Balance Adjustment [AWB] 2 Last manually adjusted White Balance setting [1] 3 Outdoor Mode [z] 4 Indoor Mode [{]

(recording under incandescent lamp)

Adjusting the White Balance Manually

Use the Manual White Balance Adjustment Mode for all types of lighting outside the range 1 (p. 119), as the Auto White Balance Adjustment Mode can only ensure natural colours for the types of lighting within that range. For optimum results under almost any types of lighting, it is recommended that you adjust the white balance manually for each new scene.

balance setting you last adjusted is still maintained. This setting is kept until you adjust the white balance again.

When you are trying to adjust the white balance in a dark place

balance adjustment may not be possible. In this case, set the Mode Selector Switch to [AUTO] to record with automatic white balance adjustment.

∫ Condensation

Determining Whether Condensation Has Formed Inside and Remedy for Condensation

If the Condensation Indication flashes after you turn on the Movie Camera, condensation has formed inside the Movie Camera. In this case, the Movie Camera automatically switches off after approximately 1 minute. Remedy as follows:

1 Take out the cassette.

All other functions do not work. Depending on the amount of condensation, it may not be possible to take out the cassette. In this case, wait 2–3 hours before taking out the cassette.

2 Leave the Cassette Compartment open and

wait for 2– 3 hours.

The required time depends on the amount of condensation and the ambient temperature.

3 After 2– 3 hours, turn the Movie Camera on

and check if the Condensation Indication is displayed.

Even if the Condensation Indication is no longer displayed, wait 1 more hour for added safety before using the Movie Camera again.

Pay Attention to Condensation Even Before the Condensation Indication Appears.

≥As condensation forms gradually, the

Condensation Indication may not appear for the first 10– 15 minutes after condensation has formed inside.

≥In an extremely cold place, the condensation

could freeze and turn into frost. In such a case, it takes an additional 2– 3 hours for the frost to first melt into condensation and then to be dissolved.

Remedy for a Fogged-up Lens

Set the [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch to [OFF] and leave the Movie Camera in this condition for about 1 hour. When the lens has reached about the same temperature as its surroundings, it automatically clears up.

Periodic Inspection

To ensure optimum picture quality, it is recommended that you have worn-out parts such as video heads replaced after approximately 1000 hours of use. (However, this depends considerably on the conditions of use such as temperature, humidity and dust.)

∫ Optimum Use of the Battery

Special Characteristics of the Battery

This Battery is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Its ability to generate electric energy is based on an internal chemical reaction. This reaction is easily influenced by ambient temperature and humidity, and the useful operation time that the Battery can provide becomes shorter at high and low temperatures. When used in extremely cold surroundings, the Battery may only be able to provide approximately 5 minutes of operation time. If the Battery becomes extremely hot, a protection function is activated and prevents the use of the Battery for some time.

After Use, Always Remove the Battery.

Be sure to remove the Battery from the Movie Camera. (If it is attached to the Movie Camera, a small amount of electric current is consumed even if the Movie Camera is turned off.) Leaving the Battery attached to the Movie Camera for a very long time could cause it to become excessively discharged, so that it cannot be used any more even after charging.

Keep the Battery’s Terminals Clean.

Be careful that the terminals do not get plugged up with dust, dirt or other substances. If you accidentally drop the Battery, confirm that the Battery itself and the terminals are not deformed. Attaching a deformed Battery to the Movie Camera or to the AC Adaptor could damage the Movie Camera or the AC Adaptor.

Discarding a Battery That Has Become Unusable

≥The usable life of the Battery is limited. ≥Do not throw the Battery in a fire because it could

explode.

∫ Precautions for Storage

Before Storing the Movie Camera, Take out the Cassette and Remove the Battery.

Store all equipment in a dry place where the temperature remains relatively constant. (Recommended temperature is 15°C– 25°C and recommended relative humidity is 40%–60%.)

Movie Camera

≥Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust form

entering.

≥Never leave the Movie Camera in places with

high temperature.

Battery

≥Extremely low or high temperature shortens the

Battery life.

≥Storing it in places with oily smoke and a lot of

dust could cause the terminals to get rusty, and this can result in a malfunction.

≥Do not allow metal objects (such as

necklaces and hair pins) to touch the battery terminals. Short-circuiting may occur and generate heat, and touching it in this condition could inflict serious burns.

≥Store the Battery in discharged condition. If you

store the Battery for a long time, it is recommended that you charge it once a year and completely use up the charge before storing it again in discharged condition.

Cassette

≥Rewind the tape to its beginning before storing.

Leaving the cassette with the tape stopped halfway for more than 6 months (depending on the storing condition) loosens the tape. Be sure to rewind it to the beginning. Put the cassette in its case to store it.

≥

Dust, direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays) and humidity could damage the tape. Dust contains hard mineral particles and cassettes with dust damage the video heads and other parts of the Movie Camera. Make it a habit to always put the cassette back into its case.
