ª Concerning the Power Supply

≥When the Camcorder is used for a long time, 

the Camera body becomes warm, but this is not 
a malfunction.

≥If the [CHARGE] Lamp does not light up 

although the Battery is attached to the AC 
Adaptor, detach the Battery and reattach it.

ª Inserting/Removing the Cassette

≥In the case of using a previously recorded 

Cassette, you can use the Blank Search 
Function to find the position where you want to 
continue recording.

≥If a new Cassette is inserted, rewind to the 

beginning of the tape before starting recording.

≥When inserting the cassette, make sure it faces 

in the right direction and then push it in until it 
stops.

≥When the Cassette Holder is in action, do not 

touch anything except the [PUSH] Button.

≥When closing the Cassette Compartment 

Cover, do not get anything caught in the cover, 
such as a cable of an optional stereo 
microphone.

images will be distorted.

ª Recording on a Card

≥Pictures with wide-screen format signals cannot 

be copied.

≥When the color of the screen changes or blurs, 

adjust the shutter speed manually to 1/60 or 
1/100.

Photoshot

JPEG. (Not all JPEG formatted files will be

(PV-GS200 only)

To record still pictures clearly
≥When zooming in on the subject with 

magnification of 

k4 to k10 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 jitters 

using a tripod and the remote controller.

About the Shutter Chance Mark (PV-GS200 
only)
≥The Shutter Chance Mark does not appear in 

manual focus mode.

≥When the subject is not easily focused, focus on 

the subject manually.
