Panasonic PV-GS9 Guida Utente

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.

• Do not direct the Viewfi nder or Lens to the sun. 

Internal components may be seriously damaged.

• When the Camcorder is used with a large capacity 

Battery (CGR-D16A/1B, CGP-D28A/1B: Optional) 
attached to it, it is not practical to look in the Viewfi nder 
from behind the Battery.

Extremely high precision technology is employed to 
produce the Viewfi nder screen featuring a total of 
approximately 67,000 pixels (PV-GS9/PV-GS12)/ 
113,000 pixels (PV-GS14/PV-GS15). 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.

• 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 fi ngers. Do not allow dirt, dust or water to 
enter it.

• Keep the Memory Card out of reach of children to 

prevent swallowing.

• 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 fi rst. However, as the internal 
temperature increases, it goes back to the normal 
brightness.

Store all the components in a dry place with a 
relatively stable temperature.
(Recommended Temperature: 59 °F to 77 °F (15 °C to 
25 °C), Recommended Humidity: 40 % to 60 %)

• Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust from getting 

into the Camera.

• Do not leave the Camcorder in places that expose it 

to high temperature.

• 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 

• 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.

• 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 condition). 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 Camcorder and 
other components. Develop a habit of returning the 
Cassette back to its case.

• Once every half 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.
