Before Requesting Repair (Problems And Solutions) - Panasonic NV-GS 8 EB Operating Instructions Manual

≥When the Movie Camera is used with a large
capacity Battery (CGR-D16S, CGP-D28S;
optional) attached to it, it is not practical to look
in the Viewfinder from behind the Battery.
Extremely high precision technology is
employed to produce the Viewfinder screen
featuring a total of approximately 67,000
pixels. The result is more than 99.99%
effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the
pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is
not a malfunction and does not affect the
recorded picture.
Lens Hood
≥Do not attach other conversion lenses in front of
the Lens Hood; there is no mount to be used for
the attachment.
≥When you wish to attach the Tele Conversion
Lens (VW-LT2714N2E; optional), Wide
Conversion Lens (VW-LW2707N2E; optional),
MC Protector (VW-LMC27E; optional), or ND
Filter (VW-LND27E; optional), first of all, turn
the Lens Hood counterclockwise. If the MC
Protector or ND Filter is used, the Lens Hood
can be mounted on the filter.
≥If you push the [W/T] Lever toward [W] during
recording with the filter and conversion lens
attached together to the Movie Camera,
4 corners of the image may become dark
(vignetting). For details, please refer to the
operating instructions of your accessories.
≥Be sure to keep the Lens Hood attached to the
Movie Camera so as to shut out unnecessary
light.
