is smaller than the head width, recording
new sound onto an already recorded
cassette (audio dubbing) (p. 64) is not
possible.
³In the following cases, mosaic-like patterns
may appear in the playback picture, or the
picture may not be played back correctly:
³When a cassette recorded in the LP Mode
on this Movie Camera is played back on
other digital video equipment.
³When a cassette recorded in the LP Mode
on other digital video equipment is played
back on this Movie Camera.

³This Video Head Cleaner (VFK1451) is available
from Panasonic service centres.
Notes:
³Do not rewind the tape in the Head Cleaner after
every use. Rewind it only after the tape has
reached its end, and then use it again in the same
way from the beginning.
³If the video heads again become clogged with dirt
soon after cleaning, this might be caused by a
damaged tape. In this case, stop using that
cassette immediately.
³Be careful not to clean the video heads too much.
(Too much cleaning could cause excessive wear to
the video heads. If the video heads get worn, the
picture is not played back clearly even after
cleaning.)
³If using the Head Cleaner does not clear the video
head clogging, the Movie Camera requires
cleaning or repairing by a service centre.
Please consult with your dealer.
³Video head cleaning due to clogging is not a
malfunction of the product and is not covered by
your warranty.
º Video Head Clogging and Remedy
When the video heads (which contact the tape) are
dirty, the playback picture contains mosaic-like
patterns or the whole screen becomes black. If they
become even more dirty, the recording performance
deteriorates and in the worst case, recording may
not be possible at all.
Causes of Dirty Video Heads
³A lot of dust in the air.
³High-temperature and high-humidity environment.
³Damaged tape.
³Long-time use.

(NV-DS15, NV-DS150, NV-DS25 only)
You are used to looking at yourself in the
mirror. Therefore, when recording yourself
with the LCD Monitor facing forward, the

unusual and distracting. If you prefer to see
yourself on the LCD Monitor in the same way
as you see yourself in a mirror, i.e. with the

Recording with Natural Colours
(White Balance)
This Movie Camera automatically adjusts the white
balance to ensure that the pictures are recorded with
natural colours. For certain types of subjects and
lighting conditions, however, this Auto White Balance
Adjustment Mode may not be able to ensure natural
colours (p. 95). In these cases, you can select either
one of the 3 preset modes explained below (indoor,
outdoor, or the last manually adjusted white balance
setting), or you can manually adjust the white balance.
The modes change in the following order:
Automatic White Balance Adjustment [AWB]
Last manually adjusted White Balance setting [1]
! Outdoor Mode [z]
" Indoor Mode [{]
(recording under incandescent lamp)
Adjusting the White Balance
Manually
Use the Manual White Balance Adjustment Mode for all
types of lighting outside the range (p. 95), as the
Auto White Balance Adjustment Mode can only ensure
natural colours for the types of lighting within that
range. For optimum results under almost any types of
lighting, we recommend that you adjust the white
balance manually for each new scene.

when you have zoomed to 20t or higher (digital
zoom range), when [EFFECT1] on the [DIGITAL
EFFECT] Sub-Menu is set to [GAINUP] and when
[EFFECT2] is set to [SEPIA] or [B/W].
³We recommend that you adjust the white balance
anew whenever there is a change in the recording
situation.
In the Following Cases, the [1] Indication
Flashes:
³When you recall the last manually adjusted white
balance setting
The flashing indication tells you that the white balance
setting you last adjusted is still maintained. This setting
is kept until you adjust the white balance again.
³When you are trying to adjust the white balance in
a dark place
Under weak illumination, precise manual white balance
adjustment may not be possible. In this case, set the
Mode Selector Switch to [AUTO] to record with
automatic white balance adjustment.
³During manual adjustment of the white balance
The [1] Indication flashes while the white balance is
being adjusted. When the white balance adjustment is
finished, the [1] Indication stops flashing and
remains lit.

The standard shutter speed is 1/50 s.
The nearer to [1/8000] a setting you select, the faster
the shutter speed becomes.
³The playback picture of subjects lit by strong lights
or with much light reflection may contain vertical
streaks of light.
³During normal playback, the scene-to-scene
transitions may not be smooth.
³Avoid recording under fluorescent lamps, mercury
lamps or natrium lamps, as they can cause unstable
colours and brightness of the playback picture.
³When using the Gain-up Mode (p. 48) or any of the
Programme AE Modes (p. 46), it is not possible to
adjust the shutter speed. If the shutter speed was
manually adjusted, this setting is cancelled.
³Adjust the shutter speed according to the recording

CLOSE (Closed) F16.…F1.6
OP (Opened)i i0dB…OP 18dB
The nearer to [CLOSE] a value you select, the darker
the picture becomes.
The nearer to [OPi18dB] a value you select, the
brighter the picture becomes.
The figures with idB show the Gain-up value, if you
increase the value too much, the picture quality
deteriorates.
³Manually adjusting the shutter speed after
performing manual iris adjustment changes the iris
back to automatic adjustment.
Therefore, if you want to adjust both the shutter
speed and iris manually, be sure to adjust the
shutter speed first.
³When using any of the Programme AE Modes
(p. 46), it is not possible to adjust the iris.
³Increasing the Gain-up value also increases the
graininess of the picture.
³Depending on the zoom magnification, some iris
values may not be displayed.
