Before Requesting Repair (Problems And Solutions) - Panasonic NV-DS65 Operating Instructions Manual

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 (CGP-D28S/CGP-D320,
CGR-D16S; optional) attached to it, it is not
practical to look in the Viewfinder from behind
the Battery. In this case, lift up the Viewfinder to
an easy-to-see angle.
............................................................................
Extremely high precision technology is employed
to produce the Viewfinder screen featuring a total
of approximately 67,500 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
≥If you push the [W/T] Lever toward [W] during
recording with the optional filter or conversion
lens attached to the Movie Camera, 4 corners of
the image may become dark (vignetting). For
details, please refer to the operating instructions
of your accessories.
ª Built-in Video Light
≥A light emitting diode (LED) is used for the
Built-in Video Light.
