When you record pictures in the Tape
Recording Mode, the brightness of the picture
may differ from the one recorded in the Card

It may not be possible to play back a mega-pixel
still-picture recorded by this Camcorder with
another Camcorder.
≥
When there is a high-contrast object ahead or
behind the subject in the focus area, the subject
may not be in focus. In this case, move the
high-contrast object out of the focus area.
≥
When the Picture size is set to [2288
k
1728],
[1600
k
1200] or [1280
k
960], the scene around
the subject can be recorded wider than that in
[640
k
480].
≥
When the [PICTURE SIZE] is set to [1280
k
960]
in the Tape Recording Mode, the effect set in
Fade In/Out Function cannot be recorded on the
recorded still pictures.
To record still pictures clearly
≥
When zooming in on the subject with
magnification of
k
4 to
k
12 or higher, it is
difficult to reduce slight jitters when holding the
Camcorder by hand. We recommend
decreasing the zoom magnification and
approaching the subject when recording.
≥
When recording still pictures, hold the
Camcorder firmly with your hands and keep
arms stationary at your side to ensure you do
not shake the Camcorder.
≥
You can record stable pictures without jitter
using a tripod and the Remote Controller.
About the Shutter Chance Mark
≥
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.
≥
The Shutter Chance Mark does not appear or
may not be displayed in the following cases.
≥
When the zoom magnification is high.
≥
When the Camcorder is shaken.
≥
When the subject is moving.
≥
When the subject stands against the light
source.
≥
When close subjects and far subjects are
included in the scene.
≥
When the scene is dark.
≥
When there is a bright part in the scene.
≥
When the scene is filled with only horizontal
lines.
≥
When the scene lacks contrast.

When the [SELF TIMER] is set to [ON], the
Camcorder records the maximum number of

[BURST MODE] setting.
≥
When using a card formatted by other
equipment, intervals between pictures may
become large.
≥
If recording or erasing pictures is repeated
many times, intervals between pictures may
become large. In this case, back up your
important data on a PC, and format your card
using this Camcorder.
≥
Intervals between recording pictures may
become large depending on the card. We
recommend using a Panasonic SD Memory
Card.
≥
When the [PICTURE SIZE] is set to

k
960]/[1600
k
1200]/[2288
k
1728], the
RapidFire Consecutive Photoshot cannot be
used.

About half the amount of electricity used in
normal recording is consumed during the Quick
Start Standby Mode. Therefore, the available
recording time will be shortened when you
activate the Quick Start Standby Mode.
≥
When the Camcorder is left in the Recording
Pause Mode for 5 minutes, it will switch to the
Quick Start Standby Mode. To turn the
Camcorder on again, set the [OFF/ON] Switch
to [OFF] and then set it to [ON] again. (The
Quick Start Mode will be restored.)
