Frequently Asked Questions - NV-GS57GC PANASONIC

How do I transfer videos to my computer?

Use a FireWire (i.LINK) cable to connect the camcorder to your PC. Ensure the camcorder is in playback mode and use compatible video editing software to capture the footage.

What type of tape does the NV-GS57GC use?

This camcorder uses MiniDV cassettes for recording high-quality digital video.

How can I improve battery life?

Use the supplied battery charger and fully charge before use. Lowering the LCD screen brightness and turning off unused features can extend battery life. Avoid extreme temperatures.

Can I take still photos with this camcorder?

Yes, the NV-GS57GC can capture still images on a MiniDV tape as single frames. However, resolution is limited compared to a dedicated camera.

How do I clean the video heads?

Use a dry cleaning cassette designed for MiniDV cameras. Insert it and play for about 10 seconds. Do not use wet cleaning tapes as they may damage the heads.

Why is my recorded video shaky?

Enable the image stabilization feature in the menu. For best results, use a tripod when recording still subjects. The electronic stabilizer reduces minor hand movements.

How do I reset the camcorder to factory settings?

Open the menu, navigate to INITIAL SET and select RESET. Confirm to restore all settings to default. This will erase any custom adjustments.

What memory card does this model support?

This model does not have a memory card slot. It records exclusively on MiniDV tapes.

Can I play back video on a TV?

Yes, use the supplied AV cable to connect the camcorder to your TV's composite or S-Video input. Set the camcorder to playback mode and select the correct input on the TV.

How do I enable night mode?

Press the NIGHT VIEW button on the camcorder. This uses a slow shutter speed to record in low light. Use a tripod to avoid blur in dark scenes.

Cautions for Use

■ About condensation

If you turn the movie camera on when condensation occurs on the head or the tape, condensation Indication [♠] is displayed on the viewfinder or the LCD monitor and the messages [♠DEW DETECT] or [♠EJECT TAPE] (only when the tape is inserted) appear. If so, follow the procedure below.

1 Remove the tape if it is inserted.

- It takes about 20 seconds to open the cassette holder. This is not a malfunction.

2 Leave the movie camera with the cassette cover closed to cool or warm it to the ambient temperature.

●The status indicator blinks for about 1 minute and then the movie camera automatically turns off. Leave it for about 1.5 to 2 hours.

3 Turn the movie camera on again, set it to the Tape Recording/Playback Mode and then check if the condensation indication disappears.

Especially in cold areas, moisture may be frozen. If so, it may take more time before the condensation indication disappears.

Watch for condensation even before the condensation indication is displayed.

- If the indicator of the condensation does not display on the LCD monitor and/or the viewfinder and you notice condensation on the lens or the main unit, do not open the cassette cover otherwise condensation may be formed on the heads or the cassette tape.

When the lens is fogged:

Set the [OFF/ON] switch to [OFF] and leave the movie camera in this condition for about 1 hour. When the lens temperature becomes close to the ambient temperature, the fogging disappears naturally.

■ About dirty heads

If video heads (the parts that closely contact with the tape) become dirty, normal recording and playback are not properly performed. Clean the heads with the digital video head cleaner.

- Insert the head cleaner into the movie camera, set it to the Tape Playback Mode, and play it back for about 10 seconds. (If you do not stop the playback, it automatically stops about 15 seconds later.)

- We recommend cleaning the heads periodically.

If the heads become dirty, "NEED HEAD CLEANING" appears during recording. During playback, moreover, the following symptoms appear.

● Mosaic-like noise appears partially or the sound is interrupted.

- Black or blue mosaic-like horizontal stripes appear.

- The whole screen becomes black and there is no picture and sound.

When normal playback cannot be performed even after the head cleaning.

One possible cause is that normal recording could not be performed because the heads were dirty at the time of recording. Clean the heads, and perform recording and playback again. If normal playback can be performed, the heads are clean. Before an important recording, be sure to conduct a test recording to make sure that normal recording can be performed.

- If the heads become dirty soon after cleaning, the problem may be attributable to the tape. If so, try another cassette.

- During playback, the picture or sound may be interrupted momentarily, but this is not a malfunction of the movie camera. (One possible cause is that the playback is interrupted by dirt or dust that momentarily adheres to the heads.)

■ About the movie camera

- When the movie camera is used for a long time, the camera body becomes warm, but this is not a malfunction.

Keep the movie camera away from magnetized equipment such as a cellular phones, microwave ovens, TVs, and video game equipment.

- If you use the movie camera on or near a TV, images or sounds may be disturbed due to electromagnetic wave radiation.

- Recordings on the tape may be damaged, or images may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors.

- Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by digital circuits including microprocessor may adversely affect the movie camera, causing the disturbance of images and sounds.

- If the movie camera is affected by such equipment and does not function properly, turn off the movie camera power and detach the battery or the AC adaptor. Then, connect the battery or the AC adaptor again and turn on the movie camera power.

Others

Do not use your movie camera near radio transmitters or high-voltage cables.

- If you record pictures near radio transmitters or high-voltage cables, recorded images or sounds may be adversely affected.

Do not spray insecticides or volatile chemicals onto the movie camera.

- If the movie camera is sprayed with such chemicals, the camera body may become deformed and the surface finish may peel off.

- Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the movie camera for a long time.

When you use your movie camera in a sandy or dusty place such as on a beach, do not let sand or fine dust get into the body and terminals of the movie camera. Also, protect the movie camera from getting wet.

- Sand or dust may damage the movie camera or cassette. (Care should be taken when inserting and removing a cassette.)

- If sea water splashes onto the movie camera, wet a soft cloth with tap water, wring it well, and use it to wipe the camera body carefully. Then, wipe it again thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.

While carrying the movie camera, do not drop or bump it.

●A strong impact on the movie camera may break its housing, causing it to malfunction.

Do not use benzine, paint thinner or alcohol for cleaning the movie camera.

- Before cleaning, detach the battery or pull out the AC mains lead from the AC mains socket.

- The camera body may be discoloured and the surface finish may peel off.

- Wipe the movie camera with a soft dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. To remove stubborn stains, wring well a cloth that is soaked in a neutral detergent diluted with water and wipe the movie camera with it. Afterwards, wipe it with a dry cloth.

- When you use a chemical dust cloth, follow the instructions.

Do not use this movie camera for surveillance purposes or other business use.

- If you use the movie camera for a long time, the internal temperature increases and, consequently, this may cause malfunction.

- This movie camera is not intended for business use.

When you are not going to use the movie camera for an extended time.

- When storing the unit in a cupboard or a cabinet, it is recommended that you put a desiccant (silica gel) in with it.

■ About the battery

The battery used in the movie camera is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. This battery is susceptible to temperature and humidity, and the effect of temperature increases with increasing or decreasing temperature. In the low temperature range, the fully charged indication may not appear, or the low battery indication may appear about 5 minutes after the start of use. At high temperature, moreover, the protection function may work, disabling use of the movie camera.

Be sure to detach the battery after use.

- If the battery is left attached to the movie camera, a minute amount of current is consumed even when the movie camera power is [OFF]. If the battery is left attached to the movie camera for a long time, over-discharge takes place. The battery may become unusable after it is charged.

- The battery should be stored in a cool place free from humidity, with as constant temperature as possible. (Recommended temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C, Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%)

- Extremely high temperatures or low temperatures will shorten the life of the battery.

- If the battery is kept in a high-temperature, high-humidity, or oily-smoky places, the terminals may rust and cause malfunctions.

- To store the battery for a long period of time, we recommend you charge it once every year and store it again after you have completely used up the charged capacity.

- Dust and other matter attached to the battery terminals should be removed.

Prepare spare batteries when going out for recording.

- Prepare batteries appropriate to 3 to 4 times the period during you want to record pictures in. In cold places such as a ski resort, the period during which you can record pictures is shortened.

- When you travel, do not forget to bring an AC adaptor so that you can recharge the batteries at your destination.

If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the terminals are deformed.

- Attaching a deformed battery to the movie camera or the AC adaptor may damage the movie camera or the AC adaptor.

Do not throw old battery into fire.

●Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may result in an explosion.

- If the operating time is very short even after the battery has been recharged, the battery has worn out. Please purchase a new battery.

■ About the AC adaptor

• If the battery is warm, charging requires more time than normal.
• If the temperature of the battery is extremely high or extremely low, the [CHARGE] lamp may continue flashing, and the battery may not be charged. After the battery temperature has decreased or increased sufficiently, recharging starts automatically. So, wait for a while. If the lamp still continues flashing even after the recharging, the battery or the AC adaptor may be faulty. If so, please contact a dealer.
• If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor 1 metre or more away from radio.
• When using the AC adaptor, it may generate whirring sounds. However, this is normal.
  ●After use, be sure to pull out the AC mains lead from the AC mains socket. (If they are left connected, a minute amount of current is consumed.)
  ●Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor and the battery clean.

■ About the cassette

Never place the cassette in a high temperature place.

●The tape may be damaged, producing mosaic-like noise at the time of playback. When storing the cassette after use, be sure to rewind the tape to the beginning and take it out.
- If the cassette is left for more than 6 months (depending on the storage condition) in the movie camera or stopped midway, the tape may sag and be damaged.
- Once every 6 months, 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, the tape may be deformed by expansion or shrinkage attributable to temperature and humidity. The wound tape may stick to itself.
- Dust, direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays), and humidity may damage the tape. Such usage may cause damage to the movie camera and the heads.
●After use, be sure to rewind the tape to the beginning, put the cassette in the case to protect it from dust, and store it upright.

Keep the cassette away from strong magnetism.

- Apparatuses using magnets such as magnetic necklaces and toys have magnetic force that is stronger than expected, and they may erase the contents of a recording or may increase noise.

■ About the card

When inserting or removing the card, always set the [OFF/ON] switch to [OFF].

When the access lamp is illuminated (During access to the card), do not open the card slot cover to pull out the card, turn off the power, or cause any vibrations or impacts.

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. Moreover, do not fold or drop the card, and do not strongly vibrate it.

- The card may break or the contents of the card may be destroyed or erased.

After use, be sure to remove the card from the movie camera for storage.

● After use, or when storing or carrying the card, put it in the storage case.
- Do not allow dust, water, or foreign substances to adhere to the terminals on the back of the card. Moreover, do not touch the terminals with your hand.

■ Folder structure of the card

The folder structure of the card formatted by the movie camera will be displayed on the PC as the illustration below.

• Up to 999 pictures can be recorded on 100CDPFP folder etc.
• Files with the DPOF settings can be recorded on MISC folder.

LCD monitor/viewfinder

LCD monitor

• When the LCD monitor gets dirty, wipe it with a dry soft cloth.
• 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, the LCD monitor is slightly darker than usual immediately after you turn the power on. However, as the internal temperature increases, it goes back to normal brightness.

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen featuring a total of approximately 105,000 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

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the viewfinder screen featuring a total of approximately 67,500 pixels for NV-GS47 and NV-GS27 approximately 113,000 pixels for NV-GS57. 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.

Periodical check-ups

- To maintain the highest image quality, we recommend replacing worn parts such as heads after approx. 1000 hours of use. (This, however, depends on operating conditions including temperature, humidity and dust.)

Explanation of terms

Automatic white balance

White balance adjustment recognizes the colour of light and adjusts so the white colour will become a pure white. The movie camera determines the hue of light that comes through the lens and white balance sensor, thereby judging the recording condition, and selects the closest hue setting. This is called automatic white balance adjustment. However, since the movie camera only stores white colour information under several light sources, automatic white balance adjustment does not function normally under the other light sources.

Outside of the effective range of automatic white balance adjustment, the image will become reddish or bluish. Even within the effective range of automatic white balance adjustment, the automatic white balance adjustment may not function properly if there is more than one light source. For light outside the functional auto white balance adjustment range, use the manual white balance adjustment mode.

White balance

The image recorded by the movie camera may become bluish or reddish under the influence of light sources. To avoid such phenomena, adjust the white balance.

White balance adjustment determines the white colour under different light sources. By recognizing which is the white colour under sunlight and which is the white colour under a fluorescent lamp, the movie camera can adjust the balance among the other colours.

Since white colour is the reference of all colours (light), the movie camera can record pictures in a natural hue if it can recognize the reference white colour.

Auto focus

Auto focus automatically moves the focusing lens forward and backward inside the movie camera to bring the subject into focus.

Auto focus has the following characteristics.

- Adjusts so that the vertical lines of a subject are seen more clearly.

- Attempts to bring an object with higher contrast into focus.

- Focuses on the screen centre only.

Due to these characteristics, auto focus does not work correctly in the following situations. Record pictures in the manual focus mode.

Recording a subject with one end located closer to the movie camera and the other end farther away from it

- As auto focus adjusts at the centre of an image, it may be impossible to focus on a subject that is located in both the foreground and background.

Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty glass

- The subject behind the glass will not be focused because the focus is on the dirty glass.

Recording a subject that is surrounded by objects with glossy surfaces or by highly reflective objects

- The recording subject may become blurry because the movie camera focuses on the objects with glossy surfaces or on highly reflective objects.

Recording a subject in dark surroundings

- The movie camera cannot focus correctly because the light information that comes through the lens decreases considerably.

Recording a fast-moving subject

- As the focus lens-inside moves mechanically, it cannot keep up with a fast-moving subject.

Recording a subject with little contrast

- A subject with little contrast, such as a white wall, may become blurry because the movie camera achieves focus based upon the vertical lines of an image.
