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 shown in the following 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 folder. [DCIM], etc. are necessary items in the folder structure. They have nothing to do with actual operations. In the Card Mode, the Camcorder automatically saves file numbers (IMGA0001.JPG, etc.) along with the images. The file numbers are recorded with each image as consecutive numbers. When using software without an indication function, indication data, such as date, are not displayed. Depending on the software in use, the date and the time may not be displayed correctly. 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 Camcorder, Personal Computer or others.

In the standby mode, [ ] blinks and it takes time more than usual to start recording after you press the Recording Start/Stop Button. [5 MINUTES]: When about 5 minutes passed without any operation, the Camcorder automatically turns off to protect the tape or to prevent the battery from running down. When you use the Camcorder, turn it on again. The Camcorder cannot be automatically turned off when you connect the USB Cable or the DV Cable with the Camcorder or when the Camcorder is in the PC Mode.

Others Zoom Microphone Function
The Zoom Microphone Function may not work effectively if the surrounding noise is too loud. It does not work with the external microphone (PV-GS35 Only). The MagicPix Function makes the signal charging time of CCD longer up to approx. 30 longer than usual, so that dark scenes that are invisible to the naked eyes can be recorded brightly. For this reason, bright dots may be seen, but this is not a malfunction. The Image Stabilizer Function does not work. In this case, the [ ] Indication flashes. The Backlight Compensation Function cannot be changed.

Digital Zoom Functions

The larger the digital zoom magnification, the more the image quality is degraded. When the Card Recording mode is used, the Digital Zoom Function cannot be used. White balance cannot be set in the Digital Zoom range.
If the background or anything else in the scene has colors similar to the skin color, they will also be softened. If the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be clear.
When the MagicPix Function is used, the image stabilizer function does not work. If so, the [ ] indication flashes. When the Gain Up mode is set to ON, the image stabilizer function does not work. If so, the [ ] indication flashes. Under fluorescent lighting, image brightness may change or colors may not look natural. After-images may appear. When a tripod is used, we recommend that you turn the Image Stabilizer off. In the following cases, the Image Stabilizer Function may not work effectively. - When the digital zoom is used - When a conversion lens is used - When recording is done in an extremely dark place - When the Camcorder is shaken greatly - When you record a moving subject while tracking it
It does not work with the microphone on an external microphone. Reduces the wind noise depending on the wind strength. (If this function is activated in strong winds, the stereo effect may be reduced. When the wind weakens, the stereo effect will be restored.)
Images played back vary depending on the TV connected. Please refer to the operating instructions for your TV. This function does not widen the recording range. When images are played back on a TV screen, the Date/Time Indication may be erased in some cases. Depending on the TV, the picture quality may deteriorate. When a Cinema picture is imported onto a personal computer, the imported picture may not be displayed correctly, depending on the software in used.

Remove the tape if it is inserted.
It takes about 20 seconds to open the Cassette Holder. This is not a malfunction.
Do not use benzine, thinner or alcohol for cleaning the Camcorder.
The Camcorder body may be deformed and the surface finish may peel off. Before cleaning, detach the Battery or pull out the AC Cable from the AC Jack. Wipe the Camcorder with a soft dry cloth. To remove stubborn stains, wipe with a cloth that is soaked in a detergent diluted with water and afterwards finish wiping with a dry cloth. For storing or transporting the Camcorder, place it in a bag or case lined with soft pads so as to prevent the coating on the camera body from being worn.
Leave the Camcorder with the Cassette Compartment Cover closed to cool or warm it to the ambient temperature. When [ ] blinks in yellow
You cannot use the Tape Recording/Playback Mode. Leave the Camcorder for about 30 minutes. However, you can use the Card Recording Mode or Picture Playback Mode when the cassette is not inserted.

When [

] blinks in red
After use, be sure to take the Cassette out and detach the Battery from the Camcorder or pull out the AC Cable from AC Jack.
If the Cassette is left in the Camcorder, the tape sags and deteriorates. If the Battery is left on the Camcorder for a long time, the voltage drops excessively, and the Battery will not function even after it is recharged.
The Power Indicator Lamp blinks for about 1 minute and then the Camcorder automatically turns off. Leave it for about 2 to 3 hours.
Turn the Camcorder on again, set it to the Tape Recording/Playback Mode and then check if the condensation indication disappears.

About 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 be charged. 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 a dealer. If the Battery is warm, charging takes a longer time than normal. If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC Adaptor 3 feet (1 meter) or more away from radio. When using the AC Adaptor, it may generate whirring sounds. However, this is normal.

Lens Hood

When you wish to attach the Tele Conversion Lens (not supplied), Wide Conversion Lens (not supplied), MC Protector (not supplied), or ND Filter (not supplied), rotate these in a clockwise direction. If you push the [W/T] Lever toward [W] during recording with the filter and conversion lens attached to the Camcorder, 4 corners of the image may become dark (vignetting). For details, please refer to the operating instructions of your accessories.
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 Camcorder. After usage, store the supplied SD Memory Card in the enclosed bag. Do not touch the terminals on the back of the Card with your fingers. Do not allow dirt, dust or water to enter it. Keep the Memory Card out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.
LCD Monitor/Viewfinder/Lens Hood

LCD Monitor

In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may form on the LCD Monitor. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth. If your Camcorder is extremely cold when you turn its power on, the image on the LCD Monitor is slightly darker than usual at first. However, as the internal temperature increases, it goes back to the normal brightness.
Before Requesting Service (Problems and Solutions)
Power/Body The Camcorder power cannot be turned on.
Is the battery fully charged? Use a fully charged battery. The battery protection circuit may have operated. Attach the battery to the AC adaptor for 5 to 10 seconds. If the Camcorder still cannot be used, the battery is faulty.
The cassette cannot be removed.
Does the power lamp comes on when opening the cassette cover? (p. 17) Make sure that the battery and the AC adaptor are properly connected. (p. 15) Is the battery in use discharged? Charge the battery and remove the cassette. Close the cassette cover completely, and fully open it again. (p. 17)
No operation other than cassette removal can be performed.
Has condensation occurred? Wait until the condensation indication disappears. (p. 64)
