Before Requesting Repair (Problems And Solutions) - Panasonic NV-GS40 Operating Instructions Manual

Card
≥When the Card is being read, do not remove the
Card, turn off the power, or subject it to vibration
or impact.
≥Do not leave the Card in places where there is
high temperature or direct sunlight, or where
electromagnetic waves or static electricity are
easily generated.
≥Do not bend or drop the Card. The Card or the
recorded content may be damaged.
≥After use, be sure to remove the Card from the
Movie Camera.
≥After usage, store the supplied SD Memory
Card in the enclosed bag.

water to enter it.
ª LCD Monitor/Viewfinder/Lens Hood
LCD Monitor
≥In a place with drastic temperature changes,
condensation may form on the LCD Monitor.
Wipe it with soft dry cloth.
≥If your Movie Camera is extremely cold when
you turn its power on, the image on the LCD
Monitor is slightly darker than usual at first.
However, as the internal temperature increases,
it goes back to the normal brightness.
Extremely high precision technology is
employed to produce the LCD Monitor
screen featuring a total of approximately
113,000 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.
Viewfinder
≥Do not direct the Viewfinder or Lens to the sun.
Internal components may be seriously
damaged.
≥When the Movie Camera is used with a large
capacity Battery (CGA-DU21; 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 67,500
pixels for NV-GS40 and approximately
113,000 pixels for NV-GS50. 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.
Others
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.
