Notes and Hints

ª Concerning the Power Supply
≥When the Movie Camera 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] mark.
≥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]
Others
2 Beeps
≥When you pause recording
2 Beeps for 4 times
≥If you operate 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 colour of the screen changes or blurs,
adjust the shutter speed manually to 1/50 or
1/100.
Photoshot
≥The sound cannot be recorded.
≥The file format supported by this Movie Camera
is JPEG. (Not all the 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 Movie Camera with
another movie camera.
≥When there is a contrasty object ahead or
behind the subject in the focus area, the subject
may not be focused. In this case, move the
contrasty object out of the focus area.
(NV-GS200 only)
To record still pictures clearly
≥When zooming to the subject with magnification
of k4 to k10 or higher, it is difficult to reduce
slight jitters by holding the Movie Camera with
hand. We recommend decreasing the zoom
magnification and approaching to the subject
when recording.
≥When recording still pictures, hold the Movie
Camera firmly with your hands and keep arms
stationally to your side not to shake the Movie
Camera.
≥You can record stable pictures without jitters
using a tripod and the remote controller.
About the Shutter Chance Mark (NV-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.
≥You can record still pictures on the Card even if
the Shutter Chance Mark does not appear.
However, images may be recorded without
being focused.
