The 3 Types of Power Supply

1) AC Adaptor ① (supplied) to supply power from an AC mains socket
2) Car Battery Charger (optional) to supply power from the cigarette lighter socket in a vehicle
3) Battery (supplied) ( 20)

Supplying Power from an AC Mains Socket

1 Connect the DC Input Lead to the [DC IN] Socket on the Movie Camera.

2 Connect the other end of the cable to the [DC OUT] Socket on the AC Adaptor.

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

- The AC Mains Lead's outlet plug cannot be pushed fully into the AC Adaptor socket. A gap will remain as shown above.

Ⓐ: Australia and New Zealand
⑧: Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China

- Before connecting the DC Input Lead to the Movie Camera, be sure to set the [CAMERA/OFF/VCR] Switch to [OFF].

- The AC Adaptor features automatic universal voltage adjustment (AC 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz), therefore, there is no need for any manual voltage adjustment for use in other countries.

中文

由電池供電

在使用電池前請先將其充電。

1 裝上電池。

Supplying Power with the Battery

Charge the Battery before using it.

1 Attach the Battery.

• Align the Battery with line 1 and push it in the direction of the arrow while holding it down.
• When charging, do not connect the DC Input Lead to the AC Adaptor.

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

• The [POWER] Lamp ② and the [CHARGE] Lamp ③ light and charging starts.
• If the [CHARGE] Lamp ③ does not light even though the Battery is attached, remove the Battery and then re-attach it.

3 Remove the Battery by sliding it in the opposite direction of Step 1 above.

4 Insert the Battery with its top (so that the arrow points upward) into the top Battery Holder and press the bottom of it toward the Movie Camera until it locks with a click.

Removing the Battery from the Movie Camera

Hold the Battery firmly to prevent it from dropping and pull it off while sliding the [◀BATTERY EJECT] Lever ④ in the direction of the arrow.

- Before removing the Battery, set the [CAMERA/OFF/VCR] Switch to [OFF].

■Charging Lamp [CHARGE]

Lit: During charging

Off: The Battery is fully charged.

• When first charging a Battery that is completely discharged as a result of being in storage for an extended period of time, etc., the [POWER] Lamp and the [CHARGE] Lamp both flash.
• Charge the Battery at a room temperature between 10°C and 30°C.
• During recording or charging, the Battery becomes warm. However, this is normal.
• To ensure precise indication of the remaining battery power, always use a fully charged Battery when attaching a Battery.

■Charging Time and Maximum Continuous Recording Time in the Manual Recording Mode

Ⓐ Charging Time for a Full Charge
B Maximum Continuous Recording Time
- “1 h 10 min.” stands for “1 hour and 10 minutes”.
●The Battery Model CGR-V14 is supplied.
- The times shown in the above chart are approximations. The figures in parentheses show the recording time when using the *LCD Monitor.

*LCD Monitor: NV-VZ9/VZ10 only

Maximum Continuous Recording Time means the duration of continuous recording performed at an ambient temperature of 25^ C and 60% relative humidity. In actual recording, however, the use of the zoom and other functions increases the power consumption, and higher or lower temperatures reduce the Battery's ability to generate electricity. Therefore, the actual recording time per Battery may be approximately 30%–50% shorter than listed above.

CGR-V14 CGR-V14S

■Checking the Remaining Battery Power

You can confirm the remaining charge in the attached Battery in the Finder or on the *LCD Monitor. This also shows you approximately how much more continuous recording time you can get from the attached Battery. The indicated time does not change in 1-minute steps.

The above illustrations show how the Remaining Battery Operation Time Indication changes according to the remaining operation time.

*LCD Monitor: NV-VZ9/VZ10 only

①: Actual remaining battery operation time
(A): Remaining Battery Operation Time Indication (This indication does not appear when recording in the Mirror Mode.) (→ 106) (NV-VZ9/VZ10 only)

Remaining Battery Operation Time Indication

This Indication shows the remaining duration of continuous recording at an ambient temperature of 25^ C when a fully charged Battery was attached. Therefore, in the following cases, the actual available recording time is different from the times shown above:

When Recording Is Not Performed Continuously

In most cases, you will frequently start and stop recording, turn the Movie Camera on and off, use the zoom and other functions, all of which consume power. Therefore, the actual available recording time from the Battery is approximately 30%–50% shorter than listed. (→ 22)

When the Ambient Temperature Is Extremely Low or Extremely High

The characteristics of the Battery vary according to the ambient temperature, and at a very low temperature, the possible recording time becomes extremely short. In addition, the Remaining Battery Operation Time Indication on the Movie Camera decreases a little faster than at an ambient temperature of 25^ C.

(At a higher temperature, it tends to decrease more slowly.)

When the Service Life of the Battery Has Reached Its End When the operation time even after full charging is too short for normal use, the service life of the Battery has reached its end. ( 126)

液晶顯示監視器的使用

(僅限於NV-VZ9/VZ10)

Improved LCD backlight transmission makes the picture extra bright. In addition, special coating of the LCD's surface diffuses the light from outside to minimize light reflection, so the picture has vivid colours and is easy to see.

1 Slide the [▲OPEN] Lever to the left and simultaneously open the LCD Monitor in the direction of the arrow approximately 90°.

Closing the LCD Monitor

Turn the LCD Monitor back toward the Movie Camera body until it locks with a click.

• The picture seen on the LCD Monitor looks slightly stretched vertically, however, the actually recorded picture remains unaffected by this.
• Return the LCD Monitor to its vertical position before closing it. Also, make sure that the Cassette Compartment is securely closed before closing the LCD Monitor.
• Opening the LCD Monitor automatically turns the Finder off. However, when you turn the LCD Monitor so that is faces forward, the Finder turns on again.
• When the Movie Camera is very cold when turning it on, the picture on the LCD Monitor is darker than normally. However, as it reaches normal temperature, it regains its normal brightness.
• To remove fingerprints, wipe the LCD Monitor with a soft cloth.
• Do not expose the LCD Monitor to direct sunlight. When sunlight falls onto the LCD Monitor, it may be difficult to view the picture.

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD Monitor. The result is more than 99.99% active 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.

■In the Following Recording Situations, the Motion Sensor May Not Work Correctly:

- A white wall or another single-colour background behind the subject.

- A subject with horizontal, vertical or oblique stripes.

- Sudden changes in the surrounding brightness.

- Exposure of the Movie Camera to slight shocks or vibration.

- Extremely slow or fast movement of the subject.

●Very little movement of the subject.

- Recording in a dimly lit place. (The [MOTION SENSOR] Indication flashes.)

●A very small subject.

●Movement of the subject near the edge of the picture.

●A background with horizontal or vertical stripes.

- To prevent accidental recording start caused by Movie Camera movement, the Movie Camera should be mounted on a tripod or be otherwise secured in a very stable position.

- Although you can select a digital effect on the [DIGITAL EFFECT] Sub-Menu when [M.SENSOR] on the [CAMERA SETUP] Sub-Menu is set to [ON], the Motion Sensor Function has priority and the selected digital effect is automatically cancelled.

- When [M.SENSOR] on the [CAMERA SETUP] Sub-Menu is set to [ON], it is not possible to manually start recording by pressing the Recording Start/Stop Button or to activate the Recording Check or Camera Search Function.

- When you use the AC Adaptor to power the Movie Camera, the Motion Sensor Function Stand-by Mode will continue when no movement is detected in the picture, even when the tape has reached the end during recording. When you use the Battery to power the Movie Camera, it remains in the Motion Sensor Function Stand-by Mode until the Battery is discharged, at which time the [CAMERA] Lamp flashes for a few seconds.

- To ensure correct functioning of the Motion Sensor Function, the moving subject should be quite large in the picture. Therefore, when you have zoomed the lens to the maximum wide-angle position, the distance between lens and subject should preferably be within about 2 metres. For subjects at larger distances, be sure to zoom in accordingly.

- The Movie Camera requires time to set up before recording starts. Therefore, the beginning of movement is not recorded.

- If there is a power interruption, the Motion Sensor Function is cancelled.

■鏡面狀態

When recording yourself with the LCD Monitor facing forward, the picture shown on it the way it is being recorded may be difficult to get used to.

This is because we usually look at ourselves in the mirror, so we see a mirror-image and this feels more natural. This Movie Camera features the Mirror Mode which displays the picture as a mirror-image.

However, even if you have selected in the Mirror Mode, the picture is recorded in the normal way.

In the Mirror Mode, only the following indications can be displayed on the LCD Monitor and in the Finder:

[●]: Recording Mode Indication

[110]: Recording Pause Mode Indication

[■■■]: Remaining Battery Indication

[☐]: General Warning/Alarm Indication

(In addition to these four indications, the Counter Indication and the Programme AE Mode Indications can also appear in the Finder.)

注意事項

攝錄影機的注意事項

Precautions for the Movie Camera

In the event of abnormal operation (e.g. if the unit emits smoke or an unusual smell), immediately stop operating the unit and consult qualified service personnel.

For Australia or New Zealand:

Consult the Panasonic Customer Care Centre on 132600.

■To prevent fire, electric shock and malfunction, observe the following points:

• Do not disassemble the Movie Camera or make any alterations to it.
• Protect against spray water and sand.
• Take care that water splashes (especially seawater) or dust do not enter the Movie Camera. If seawater has accidentally splashed onto the Movie Camera, moisten a soft cloth with tap water, wring it out well and carefully wipe the camera body with it. Then thoroughly wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not insert any foreign objects.
• Do not cover with a cloth during use.
• Do not subject to strong vibrations or mechanical shocks.
• Do not use in places with oily smoke and a lot of dust.
• If a thunderstorm approaches, stop using the Movie Camera. (If you are using the AC Adaptor, disconnect it from the AC mains socket taking care not to touch any metal parts.)
• Do not use near magnetized equipment.
• Do not use near a radio or TV.
• Do not use near a cell phone because doing so may cause noise to adversely affect the picture and sound.
• Do not use with the cassette compartment facing down.
• Do not aim the Lens or Finder directly at the sun; the lens collects light and the resulting heat could deform internal precision parts and cause irreparable damage to the Movie Camera.
• Do not leave in a closed car on a summer day. The inside temperature becomes higher than you imagine and this could damage the Movie Camera.
• Do not wash with water.

Water might leak into the Movie Camera and cause an electric shock or fire.

• Do not use a cleaning fluid, benzine, thinner or other chemicals for cleaning. They might not only change the colour and damage the surface of the camera body, but might also increase the risk of fire if there is an open flame or heater nearby.
  ● Never leave the Movie Camera in places with high temperature.

■Precautions for Storing the Movie Camera

Be sure to take out the cassette and remove the Battery before storing.

Avoid the following places:

• Places with high temperature and high relative humidity Recommended temperature: 15°C–25°C Recommended relative humidity: 40%–60%
• Places exposed to direct sunlight
• In direct contact with rubber or plastic products for a long time
  • In reach of children

Precautions for the AC Adaptor

■Observe the following points:

• Use only for the specified Movie Camera and Battery.
• Do not handle with wet hands.

To unplug the AC Mains Lead, be sure to pull it out by the plug, not by the cable.

• Do not forcefully bend the cables or alter them.
• Do not operate very close to a radio, TV etc.

中文

電池的注意事項

Precautions for the Battery

The Battery's ability to generate electric energy is based on a chemical reaction. If the Battery is incorrectly handled, it could cause leakage, excessive rise in temperature, fire or explosion.

■Observe the Following Points:

• Use only the specified AC Adaptor or Car Battery Charger to charge the Battery, and use the Battery only for this Movie Camera.
• When you have finished using the Movie Camera, be sure to remove the Battery.

If you leave the Battery attached to the Movie Camera, a small amount of electricity is consumed even if the [CAMERA/OFF/VCR] Switch is set to [OFF], and this reduces the Battery's charge. Leaving the Battery attached to the Movie Camera for a very long time could discharge it excessively and this could make charging impossible.

• Do not allow metal objects such as keys and necklaces to touch the battery terminals.
  Short-circuiting may occur and generate heat, and this could cause the Battery to explode. Be especially careful when storing or carrying the Battery in a bag.
• Do not deform or alter the Battery.
• When the operation time even after proper charging is too short for normal use, the service life of the Battery has reached its end.
• If the Battery becomes too warm, a protection function is activated and it puts the Battery temporarily out of operation.
• Do not throw the Battery into a fire. This could cause it to explode.

■Precautions for Storing the Battery

Avoid the following places, as they could shorten the service life of the Battery:

- Places with extremely high temperature and high relative humidity

Recommended temperature: 15°C–25°C Recommended relative humidity: 40%–60%

• Places with oily smoke and a lot of dust The terminals of the Battery might rust.
• Before you store the Battery for a long time, perform playback or other operations to completely use up the remaining charge in the Battery. Then remove it from the Movie Camera and store it. We recommend that you reactivate the Battery about once a year by charging it and then completely using up the charge before storing it again.

Precautions for the Cassette

When you have finished using the Movie Camera, rewind the tape to the beginning and take the cassette out of the Movie Camera. If you store the cassette for a long time, fast-forward and then rewind it at least once a year to expose the tape to fresh air.

Observe the following points to prevent deformation of the cassette case and deterioration of the picture and sound quality.

• Do not subject the cassette to strong vibration or mechanical shocks.
• Do not place it near magnetized equipment.
• Avoid places where the temperature can become very high.

中文

凝結濕氣的原因和處理方法

Causes of Condensation and Remedy

When condensation has formed inside the Movie Camera and on the tape, recording becomes impossible. In addition, the tape might remain in contact with the heads and this could seriously damage the Movie Camera.

■Main Causes of Condensation

• When the Movie Camera is brought from a cold to a warm place.
• When the Movie Camera is taken outdoors from inside an air-conditioned car or house.
• When the heating is turned on in a cold room.
• When the Movie Camera is exposed to the cold breeze from an air-conditioner.
• When the Movie Camera is in a very hot or humid place or in a place with steam.

■Symptoms of Condensation

When turning on the Movie Camera, the Condensation Indication [U10/♠] appears.

(A few seconds later, the Movie Camera automatically turns itself off.)

■Remedy as Follows:

1. Take out the cassette.
2. Keep the Cassette Compartment open and wait a few hours.
3. A few hours later, turn on the Movie Camera and confirm that the Condensation Indication is not displayed any more. For added safety, wait about 1 more hour.

■To Prevent Condensation from Forming

When bringing the Movie Camera from a very cold to a warm place, keep it in a tightly closed plastic bag or something similar for 1 to 2 hours before using it again.

■When the Lens Is Fogged up

Turn the Movie Camera on and wait for about 1 hour until it has reached about the same temperature as its surroundings.

Video Head Clogging and Remedy

If the video heads become dirty and clogged with dust, the picture quality deteriorates.

■Symptoms of Dirty Video Heads

• When turning on the Movie Camera, the [U11/✗] Indication appears for the first few seconds.
• When playing back a cassette on the Movie Camera and watching the picture on a connected TV, white noise bars appear in the picture. However, if the heads are extremely dirty, the playback picture cannot be seen at all.

■Remedy as Follows:

Use a video head cleaning cassette to clean the heads. Carefully follow the instructions for its use as too much cleaning wears down the heads. If the playback picture is not clear after cleaning, it means that the video heads are worn out. Consult qualified service personnel.

Video recording takes place under various light sources, from sunlight as the main natural light source to a wide range of artificial light sources such as fluorescent lamps. As each of these light sources has a different colour temperature, each of them gives the colours of the subject a slightly different tint. Human eyes can easily adjust to different kinds of lighting and recognize an object as having the same colour, even under different light sources.

The eye of the Movie Camera (lens), however, cannot adapt to the change in lighting and is influenced by the lighting. Therefore, depending on the light source, the picture would be recorded with a bluish or reddish tint. To minimize the influence of the lighting on the colours of the subject, an adjustment called White Balance Adjustment is necessary.

■Auto White Balance

This Movie Camera offers both Auto White Balance Adjustment and Manual White Balance Adjustment. When the Movie Camera is in the Full Auto Mode, the internal system of the Movie Camera automatically determines the temperature of the light and compensates the tint of the subject accordingly. White is the basic colour by which the tint is determined. Because this adjustment is performed based on the white colour, it is called White Balance Adjustment. The optimum settings for several light sources are stored in the memory of the Movie Camera. The internal microcomputer compares the colour temperature of the light received by the White Balance Sensor positioned on the front of the Movie Camera with the colour stored in memory, and selects the setting for the most similar tint.

Be careful not to cover the White Balance Sensor ( 12) with your hand, etc.

■Manual White Balance

Although this Movie Camera stores the optimum settings for several light sources in memory to correctly judge the white colour, it cannot cope with all light sources. Therefore, to record under those types of lighting ( 90, 92) which cannot be correctly adjusted with Auto White Balance Adjustment, use Manual White Balance Adjustment. ( 90)

How the Focus Adjustment Works

If you look at an object through a magnifying glass and move it closer or further away from your eye, you will reach a point where the object becomes clearly visible. Being focused or in focus means that the subject can be seen with optimum clarity and sharpness. The distance between the lens and the point where the rays of light come together is called Focal Distance or Focal Length and depends on the size and shape of the lens.

Human eyes have lenses too, and when we look at objects at different distances, the shape of these lenses changes automatically so that we can always see the objects clearly.

■Auto Focus Adjustment

The image of the subject enters the Movie Camera through the lens and is converted into an electrical signal (video signal) for recording onto tape. Based on this signal, the Auto Focus System automatically adjusts the focal distance by moving the focusing lens forward or backward.

The focus is adjusted on the subject in the centre of the Finder.
