MJ147-P.book 56 ページ ２００２年４月２４日　水曜日　午後１時５６分57 Notes ≥Do not disconnect USB Connection Cable while the operation light of Palmcorder is on. It may freeze the software or destroy the data in transfer. Please refer to the user manual of Palmcorder. ≥We recommend using the AC adapter as the power source for the Palmcorder when using USB Connection Kit. Data may be lost If the battery power is lost while transferring data. ≥G726 may not recognize memory card files not created by Palmcorder. ≥Do not delete the folders in memory card such as picture folder, DPOF folder, title folder etc. Memory card may not be recognized if folders are deleted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ª About the SD Memory Card and MultiMediaCard SD Memory Card The SD Memory Card (supplied) is virtually the same size as a MultiMediaCard. It is an external memory card that is available in larger capacities. It has a write protect switch to prevent data writing and card formatting, as well as a copyright protection function. ≥SD Logo is a trademark. MultiMediaCard The MultiMediaCard is a compact, lightweight and removable external memory card. ≥All other company and product names in the operating instructions are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective corporations. Files recorded on a SD Memory Card or MultiMediaCard It may not be possible to play back the files on this Palmcorder recorded on and created by other equipment or vice versa. For this reason, check the compatibility of the equipment in advance. ª About the compatibility of the card files Data files recorded on an “SD Memory Card” or a “MultiMediaCard” by this Palmcorder conform with DCF (Design Rules for Camera Files Systems universal standard) established by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association). ≥If you attempt to play back files recorded with this Palmcorder in other equipment or to play back files recorded with other equipment in this Palmcorder, you may not be able to play them back. Please check the compatibility with the other equipment in advance. ª About the folder structure when using the Memory Card in a personal computer ≥When a Card with data recorded on it is inserted into a personal computer, folders will be displayed as in the figure. [100CDPFP]: The images (Imga0001.jpg, etc.) in this folder are recorded in the JPEG format. [MISC]: Files in which DPOF Data has been set to the image are in this. [TITLE]: This contains the data of the original titles (Usr00001.ttl, etc.). [PRL001]: MPEG4 moving picture is recorded in ASF format (MOL001.ASF etc.). It can be played back with Windows Media Player (ver.6.4 and later). Because of their small size, these files are well suited for transmitting data through telephone lines etc.. To play back a moving picture with Windows Media Player, select a file and double click. Necessary software is automatically downloaded and starts playing back. (Internet connection is required). ≥[DCIM], [IM01CDPF], [PRIVATE], [VTF], [SD_VIDEO], [SD_VOICE] etc. are necessary items in the folder structure. They have nothing to do with actual operations. ≥In the Card Mode, the Palmcorder automatically saves file numbers (Imga0001.jpg, etc.) along with the images. The file numbers are recorded with each image as consecutive numbers. ≥In the [SD_VC100] folder, the Voice data (MOB001.vm1 etc.) is recorded. It, however, cannot be played back on a Personal Computer. ≥The [SD_VOICE] folder and the Voice files in the folder are set as hidden. Depending on the settings of your personal computer, this hidden folder and these hidden files might not appear in Windows Explorer or the “My Computer” screen. ≥The memory capacity indicated on the SD Card label corresponds to the total card capacity. Some of this capacity is used to protect and manage the copyright data, and not all capacity is available as a conventional memory for a Palmcorder, Personal Computer or others. Capacity that can be used as conventional memory: 16 MB Card: about 14,900,000 bytes

MJ147-P.book 66 ページ ２００２年４月２４日　水曜日　午後１時５６分67 Cautions for Use ª After Use

Detach the Power Source and retract the Viewfinder. (l 12)

To protect the Lens, attach the supplied Lens Cap. (l 13) ª Tips for using your Palmcorder When you use your Palmcorder on a rainy or snowy day or on a beach, make sure that no water enters the Palmcorder. ≥Water may cause the Palmcorder or Cassette to malfunction. (Irreparable damage may occur.) ≥If sea water splashes onto the Palmcorder, wet a soft cloth with tap water, wring it well, and use it to wipe the Palmcorder body carefully. Then, wipe it again thoroughly with a soft dry cloth. Keep the Palmcorder away from magnetically charged equipment (such as a TV, game equipment, etc.) ≥If you use the Palmcorder near a TV, images or sounds may be disturbed due to electromagnetic wave radiation. ≥Do not use near a cell phone because doing so may cause noise to adversely affect the picture and sound. ≥Due to strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors, recording on the tape may be damaged, or images may be distorted. ≥Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by a microprocessor may adversely affect the Palmcorder, causing the disturbance of images and sounds. ≥If the Palmcorder is affected by magnetically charged equipment and does not function properly, turn off the Palmcorder power and detach the Battery or AC Adaptor and then connect the Battery or AC Adaptor again. Thereafter, turn on the Palmcorder power. Do not use your Palmcorder near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines. ≥If you record pictures near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, recorded images or sounds may be adversely affected. Do not use this Palmcorder for surveillance purposes or other business use. ≥If you use the Palmcorder for a long period of time, the internal temperature increases and, consequently, this may cause malfunction. ≥This Palmcorder is not intended for industrial use. When you use your Palmcorder on a beach or similar place, do not let sand or fine dust get into the Palmcorder. ≥Sand or dust may damage the Palmcorder or Cassette. (Care should be taken when inserting and removing the Cassette.) Do not spray insecticides or volatile chemicals onto the Palmcorder. ≥If the Palmcorder is sprayed with such chemicals, the Palmcorder body may deform and the surface finish may peel off. ≥Do not keep a rubber or plastic product in contact with the Palmcorder for a long period of time. When cleaning the Palmcorder, do not use any solvent, such as benzine, alcohol, thinner, etc. ≥The Palmcorder body may become damaged and the surface finish may peel off. ≥Before cleaning, detach the Battery or pull out the AC Cable from the AC Jack. ≥Wipe the Palmcorder with a soft dry cloth. To remove stubborn stains, wipe with a cloth that is soaked in a detergent diluted with water and afterward finish wiping with a dry cloth. ≥For storing or transporting the Palmcorder, place it in a bag or case lined with soft pads so as to prevent the coating on the Palmcorder body from becoming worn. After use, be sure to take the Cassette out and detach the Battery from the Palmcorder or pull out the AC Cable from the AC Jack. ≥If the Cassette is left in the Palmcorder, the tape sags and deteriorates. ≥If you leave the Battery attached to the Palmcorder for a long time, the voltage drops excessively, and the Battery will not function even after it is recharged. ª About the AC Adaptor ≥If the temperature of the Battery is extremely high or extremely low, the [CHARGE] Lamp may continue flashing, and the Battery may not charge. After the temperature of the Battery has decreased or increased sufficiently, charging starts automatically. If the [CHARGE] Lamp continues to flash even after the Battery temperature has decreased or increased sufficiently, the Battery or AC Adaptor may be faulty. In this case, please contact your dealer. ≥If the Battery is warm, charging takes longer than usual. ≥If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC Adaptor 1 meter or more away from radios. ≥When the AC Adaptor is in use, it may generate whirring sounds. This is normal. ≥After use, be sure to pull out the AC Cable from the AC Jack. (If they are left connected, a small amount of electricity is consumed.) ≥Always keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and Battery clean. MJ147-P.book 67 ページ ２００２年４月２４日　水曜日　午後１時５６分68 ª Condensation If excessive moisture condenses in the unit, [DEW DETECTED] Indication will flash, and the Palmcorder will automatically turn off after about 1 minute. If this happens, follow the steps below:

Take out the Cassette. ≥None of the other functions operate. Depending on the amount of condensation, removing the Cassette may become difficult. If this happens, wait for 2 to 3 hours before taking the Cassette out.

Open the Cassette Compartment and wait for 2 to 3 hours. ≥The number of hours you should wait depends on the amount of condensation and ambient temperature.

2 to 3 hours later, turn on the Palmcorder and check to see if the [DEW DETECTED] Indication is displayed. ≥Even if the [DEW DETECTED] Indication is not displayed, as a precaution, please wait for another hour before using the Palmcorder. Watch for Condensation Even Before the [DEW DETECTED] Indication Is Displayed. ≥Because condensation takes place gradually, the [DEW DETECTED] Indication may not be displayed during the first 10 to 15 minutes of condensation formation inside the Palmcorder. ≥In extremely cold places, condensation may freeze and form frost. In this case, the frost melts first, thus forming condensation, and then it takes another 2 to 3 hours to eliminate the condensation. When the Lens Is Fogged: Set the [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch to [OFF] and leave the Palmcorder in this condition for about 1 hour. When the lens temperature becomes close to the ambient temperature, the fog disappears naturally. ª Digital Video Head Cleaner If the heads (the parts that make contact with tape) are dirty, mosaic-like noise patterns may appear on the playback image, or the screen as a whole becomes black. If the heads are extremely dirty, recording performance deteriorates, and, in the worst case, the Palmcorder cannot record at all. Causes of Digital Video Heads Becoming Dirty ≥Large quantity of dust in the air ≥High-temperature and high-humidity environment ≥Damaged tape ≥Long operating hours Using Mini-DV Format Digital Video Head Cleaner

Insert the Head Cleaner into the Palmcorder in the same manner as a Video Cassette.

] Button, and 20 seconds later, Press the [

Take out the head cleaner. Insert a Video Cassette and start recording. Then, play the tape back to check the recorded image.

If the image is still not clear, repeat Steps 1 to

3. (Do not use the Head Cleaner 3 times or

more consecutively.) Notes: ≥Do not rewind every time you use the Head Cleaner. Rewind only when the tape reaches the end, and then use it again from the beginning in the same manner as before. ≥If the heads become dirty soon after cleaning, the Mini DV may be damaged. In this case, immediately stop using that Cassette. ≥Do not clean the heads excessively. (Excessive cleaning may cause excessive wear of the heads. If the heads are worn, images cannot be played back even after the heads are cleaned.) ≥If the dirty heads cannot be cleaned with the head cleaner, the Palmcorder needs to be cleaned at a service center. Please consult a distributor or Panasonic Servicenter. ≥Video head cleaners can be purchased from service centers. ≥Head cleaning due to dirty heads is not considered a malfunction of the product. It is not covered by the warranty. Periodic Check-up To maintain the highest image quality, we recommend replacement of worn parts, such as heads, etc., after approximately 1000 hours of use. (This, however, depends on operating conditions, such as temperature, humidity, dust, etc.) ª Optimal Use of the Battery Battery Characteristics This Battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its ability to generate power is based upon the chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This reaction is affected by the surrounding temperature and humidity, and, if the temperature is too high or too low, the operating time of the Battery becomes shorter. If the Battery is used in an extremely cold environment, the Battery may operate only for about 5 minutes. If the Battery becomes extremely hot, a protective function may operate, and the Battery may even become unusable for awhile. Be Sure to Detach the Battery After Use Be sure to detach the Battery from the Palmcorder. (If it is left attached to the Palmcorder, a minute amount of current is consumed even when the Palmcorder power is off.) If the Battery is left attached to the Palmcorder for a long time, over discharge takes place. The Battery may become unusable after it is charged. Disposing of an unusable Battery ≥The Battery has a limited life. ≥Do not throw the Battery into fire because it may cause an explosion. Always Keep the Terminals of the Battery Clean Prevent the terminals from getting clogged with dirt, dust, or other substances. If you drop the Battery accidentally, check to see if the Battery body and terminals are damaged. Attaching a damaged Battery to the Palmcorder or AC Adaptor may damage the Palmcorder or AC Adaptor. MJ147-P.book 68 ページ ２００２年４月２４日　水曜日　午後１時５６分69 ª Cautions for Storage Before storing the Palmcorder, take the Cassette out and detach the Battery. Store all the components in a dry place with a relatively stable temperature. ≥Recommended Temperature: 59 oF to 77 oF (15

to 25 oC), Recommended Humidity: 40% to 60% Palmcorder ≥Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust from getting into the Palmcorder. ≥Do not leave the Palmcorder in places that expose it to high temperature. Battery ≥Extremely high temperatures or low temperatures will shorten the life of the Battery. ≥If the Battery is kept in smoky or dusty places, the terminals may rust and cause malfunctions. ≥Do not allow the Battery terminals to come in contact with metal objects (such as necklaces, hairpins, etc.) This can result in a short circuit or heat generation and, if you touch the Battery in this condition, you may be badly burned. ≥Store the Battery in a completely discharged state. To store the Battery for a long period of time, we recommend you charge it once every year and store it again after you completely use up the charged capacity. Cassette ≥Before storing it, rewind the tape to the beginning. If the Cassette is left for more than 6 months with the tape stopped midway, the tape sags (although it depends on the storage conditions.) Be sure to rewind to the beginning. ≥Store the Cassette in its case. Dust, direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays), or humidity may damage the tape. Dust contains hard mineral particles, and dusty Cassettes damage the heads of the Palmcorder and other components. Develop a habit of returning the Cassette back to its case. ≥Twice a year, wind the tape to the end and then rewind it to the beginning. If the Cassette is left for 1 year or longer without winding or rewinding, temperature and humidity changes may cause the Cassette to deform due to swelling, shrinking, and so forth. The wound tape may stick to itself. ≥Do not place a Cassette near highly magnetic substances or equipment. ≥The surface of tape is covered with extremely minute magnetic particles, upon which signals are recorded. Magnetic necklaces, toys, etc., have magnetic force that is stronger than you may normally expect, and they may erase the contents of a recording or may cause noise in images and sounds. 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 Palmcorder. ≥After use, store the supplied SD Memory Card in the enclosed yellow bag. ª LCD Monitor/Viewfinder/Lens Hood LCD Monitor ≥In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may take place on the LCD Monitor. Wipe it with soft dry cloth. ≥If your Palmcorder is extremely cold when you turn its power on, the image on the LCD Monitor will be 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 112,000 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 Palmcorder is used with a large capacity Battery 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. ≥To clean the inside of the Viewfinder, slide the Eye Piece Corrector Knob

to the centre, press the release button

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the Viewfinder screen featuring a total of approximately 113,000 pixels. 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.

Lens Hood ≥Do not attach other conversion lenses in front of the Lens Hood; there is no mount to be used for the attachment. ≥If you want to attach the Tele Conversion Lens (not supplied) or the Wide Conversion Lens (not supplied), MC Protector (not supplied) or ND Filter (not supplied) first of all, turn the Lens Hood counterclockwise. If the MC Protector (not supplied) or ND Filter (not supplied) is used, the Lens Hood can be mounted on the filter. ≥When you attach the Lens Hood, insert

and turn it clockwise. ≥If you push the [W/T] Lever toward [W] during recording with the filter or conversion lens attached to the Palmcorder, the 4 corners of the image may become dark (vignetting). For details, please refer to the operating instructions for your accessories. ≥Be sure to keep the Lens Hood attached to the Palmcorder so as to shut out unnecessary light. ≥Remove the Lens Hood attached to this Palmcorder first before attaching the supplied Lens Hood for Card Mode Recording.

MJ147-P.book 69 ページ ２００２年４月２４日　水曜日　午後１時５６分70 Explanation of Terms ª Digital Video System In a digital video system, images and sounds are converted into digital signals and recorded on a tape. This complete digital recording is capable of recording and playback with minimal image and sound deterioration. In addition, it automatically records data, such as Time Code and date/time, as digital signals. Compatibility with S-VHS or VHS Cassettes Because this Palmcorder employs a digital system for recording image and sound data, the cassette is not compatible with conventional S-VHS or VHS video equipment that employs an analog recording system. The size and shape of the Cassettes are also different. Compatibility with Output Signals Because AV signal output from the AV signal output jack is analog (the same as conventional video systems), this Palmcorder can be connected with S-VHS or VHS VCR or a TV for playback. (l 46) ª Focus Auto Focus Adjustment The Auto Focus System automatically moves the internal focusing lens forward or backward and adjusts the focus so that the subject can be seen clearly. However, the Auto Focus System does not function properly for the following subjects or under the following recording conditions. Please use the Manual Focus Mode instead.

1) Recording a subject whose one end is located closer

to the Palmcorder and the other end farther away from it ≥Because Auto Focus makes adjustments at the center of an image, it may be impossible to focus on a subject that is located in both foreground and background.

2) Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty glass

≥Because the focus is on the dirty glass, the subject behind the glass will not be in focus.

3) Recording a subject in dark surroundings

≥Because the light information that comes through the lens decreases considerably, the Palmcorder may not focus correctly.

4) Recording a subject that is surrounded by objects

with glossy surfaces or by highly reflective objects ≥Because the Palmcorder focuses on the objects with glossy surfaces or on highly reflective objects, the recording subject may become blurry.

5) Recording a fast-moving subject

≥Because the focus lens inside moves mechanically, it may not be able to keep up with the fast-moving subject.

6) Recording a subject with little contrast

≥Because the Palmcorder achieves focus based upon the vertical lines of an image, a subject with little contrast, such as a white wall, may become blurry. ª White Balance Adjustment Depending on the type of light source, the colors recorded by the Palmcorder may be affected. In some cases, images may be recorded with a bluish or reddish hue. To minimize the effect of light on the subject’s color, White Balance Adjustment becomes necessary. White Balance Adjustment White Balance Adjustment recognizes the color of light and makes adjustment so that the white color will become pure white. Auto White Balance Adjustment This Palmcorder stores settings that are optimal for several kinds of general light sources. The Palmcorder determines the hue of light that it receives through the lens and White Balance Sensor, thereby judging the recording condition, and selects the closest hue setting. This function is called Auto White Balance Adjustment. However, since white balance settings for only certain kinds of light sources are stored, the Auto White Balance function does not operate properly when recording occurs under light that is out of the range of the setting values. ª Time Code Time Code signals are data that indicate time measured in hours, minutes, seconds, and frames (30 frames per second.) If this data is included in a recording, an address is assigned to each image on the tape. ≥The Time Code is automatically recorded as a part of the sub-code at each recording. ≥When a new (previously unrecorded) Cassette is inserted, the Time Code automatically starts from zero. If a recorded Cassette is inserted, the Time Code picks up from the point where the last scene was recorded. (In this case, when the Cassette is inserted, the zero display [0h00m00s00f] may appear, but the Time Code starts from the previous value.) ≥The Time Code cannot be reset to zero. ≥Unless the Time Code is continuously recorded from the beginning of a tape, accurate editing may not be possible. To ensure that the Time Code will be recorded with no breaks, we recommend the use of the Camera Search Function (l 21) or the Blank Search Function (l 32) before recording a new scene. ª Memory Stop Function The Memory Stop Function is useful for the following operations. Rewinding or fast-forwarding a tape to a desired position

Set [DISPLAY SETUP] >> [C.DISPLAY] >> [MEMORY].

Reset the Tape Counter to zero at the tape position from which you want to play it back later. (l 10, 17)

Start playback or recording.

When playback or recording is over: slide the [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch from [ON] to put the Palmcorder in the VCR Mode. ≥The [VCR] Lamp lights up.

Rewind the tape. ≥The tape automatically stops approximately at the position where the counter was set to zero. Stopping editing automatically during audio dubbing

Set [DISPLAY SETUP] >> [C.DISPLAY] >> [MEMORY].

Check the list below for Problems and Solutions. Problems Solutions The Palmcorder power cannot be turned on. Is the power source connected correctly? The Palmcorder power turned off automatically. If you leave the Palmcorder in Recording Pause Mode for more than 5 minutes, the power is turned off automatically to protect the tape and to save the Battery power. The Palmcorder power does not stay on long enough. Is the Battery low? Charge the Battery or attach a fully charged Battery. Something is wrong with the Palmcorder’s operation. The Palmcorder is turned on but no functions operate. Press the [RESET] Button on the Palmcorder with a pointed object. If this does not solve the problem, first disconnect the power supply and wait for a minute or so, and then reconnect the power supply to turn the power back on. (If the above operation is performed when the [ACCESS] Lamp of the Card Slot is lit, the data on the Card may be damaged.) Battery runs down quickly.

Is the Battery fully charged? Charge it with the AC Adaptor.

Are you using the Battery in an extremely cold place? In cold places, the operating time of the Battery becomes shorter.

Has the Battery worn out? If the operating time is still too short even after the Battery is fully charged, the Battery has worn out. The Battery cannot be charged. If the DC Cable is connected to the AC Adaptor, charging cannot be performed. Disconnect the DC Cable. Recording does not start although power is supplied to the Palmcorder and the Cassette is correctly inserted.

Is the accidental erasure protection tab on the Cassette open? If it is open (set to [SAVE]), recording cannot be performed.

Is the tape wound to the end? Insert a new Cassette.

Is the Palmcorder power turned on?

Is the [CAMERA] Lamp on? If the [CAMERA] Lamp is not on, no recording function can be operated.

Has condensation occurred? Wait until the [DEW DETECTED] Indication disappears. Audio dubbing cannot be performed.

Is the accidental erasure prevention slider on the Cassette open? If it is open (set to [SAVE]), recording cannot be performed.

Are you attempting to edit a tape portion that was recorded in LP Mode? LP Mode does not allow audio dubbing to operate. The Time Code becomes inaccurate. The Time Code Indication counter may not be constant in the reverse direction in Slow Motion Playback Mode, but this is not a malfunction. The Remaining Tape Time Indication disappears. When you record still pictures in PhotoShot Mode, the Remaining Tape Time Indication may disappear temporarily. However, it reappears when the Palmcorder is set back to Normal Recording Mode. The Remaining Tape Time Indication does not match the actual remaining tape time.

If scenes of less than 15 seconds are continuously recorded, the remaining tape time cannot be displayed correctly.

In some cases, the Remaining Tape Time Indication may show remaining tape time that is 2 to 3 minutes shorter than the actual remaining tape time. MJ147-P.book 74 ページ ２００２年４月２４日　水曜日　午後１時５６分75 Video cannot be played back even when the [

] Button is pressed. Is the [VCR] Lamp on? If the [VCR] Lamp is not on, the playback function cannot be used. Mosaic-like noise patterns appear on images during Cue, Review or Slow Motion Playback. This phenomenon is characteristic of digital video systems. It is not a malfunction. Although the Palmcorder is correctly connected to a TV, playback images cannot be seen. Have you selected Video Input on the TV? Please read the operating instructions of your TV and select the input that matches the input jacks used for the connection. Playback image is not clear. Are the heads of the Palmcorder dirty? If the heads are dirty, playback image will not be clear. No sound is played back from the built-in speaker or headphones of the Palmcorder. Is the volume too low? During playback, continue pressing the [PUSH] Dial until the [VOLUME] Indication appears. Then, rotate the [PUSH] Dial to adjust the volume. Different sounds are reproduced at the same time. [AUDIO] on the [PLAYBACK FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu of the [VCR FUNCTIONS] Main-Menu has been set to [MIX]. As a result, the original sound and sound that was recorded by audio dubbing are played back together. It is possible to reproduce the sounds separately. The original sound was erased when audio dubbing was performed. If you perform audio dubbing on a recording done in [16bit] Mode, the original sound will be erased. If you want to preserve the original sound, be sure to select [12bit] Mode at the time of recording. Sounds cannot be played back.

Although a Cassette with no audio dubbing is being played, is [AUDIO] on the [PLAYBACK FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu of the [VCR FUNCTIONS] Main-Menu set to [ST2]? To play back a Cassette with no audio dubbing, [AUDIO] must be set to [ST1].

Is the Variable Speed Search Function working? Press the

] Button to cancel the Variable Speed Search Function. The recorded picture on the Memory Card is not clear. Do you have [PICTURE QUALITY] on the [CARD SETUP] Sub-Menu set to [ECONOMY]? If recording is made when it is set to [ECONOMY], a detailed image may show a mosaic pattern. Set the [PICTURE QUALITY] to [NORMAL] or [FINE]. (l 38) Card PhotoShot playback pictures do not look normal. There is a possibility that the images are damaged. To prevent the loss of image data, we recommend that you back images up on a Cassette or personal computer. (l 41, 50) Even if a Card is formatted, it cannot be used. There is a possibility of damage to either the Palmcorder or the Card. Please contact Panasonic Call Center.
