Indemnity about recorded
content
Panasonic does not accept any
responsibility for damages directly or
indirectly due to any type of problems that
result in loss of recording or edited content,
and does not guarantee any content if
recording or editing does not work properly.
Likewise, the above also applies in a case
where any type of repair is made to the unit
(including any other non-built-in memory/
HDD related component).
Handling of built-in memory
[HDC-TM700]
This unit is equipped with the built-in 32 GB
memory. When using this component, pay
attention to the following points.
Back up data periodically.
The built-in memory is temporary storage. In
order to avoid erasing data due to static
electricity, electromagnetic waves,
breakage, and failures, back up the data to a
PC or DVD disc. (l 105, 113)
Access lamp [ACCESS] (
l
11) illuminates
while the SD card or built-in memory is
being accessed (initialization, recording,
playback, deleting etc.). Do not perform the
following operations when the lamp
illuminates. It may damage the built-in
memory or cause a malfunction in the unit.
jTurn the unit off (remove the battery)
jInsert and remove the USB cable
jExpose the unit to vibrations or shock
About disposing of or giving away this unit.
(l 138)
Handling of HDD [HDC-HS700]
This unit is equipped with the built-in 240 GB
HDD. While the HDD is capable of storing a
large amount of data, there are a few things
to look out for. When using this component,
pay attention to the following points.
Do not expose the HDD to vibrations and
shocks.
Due to the environment and handling
conditions, the HDD may be subject to
partial damages or may not be able to read,
record, and play back data. Do not expose
the unit to vibrations or shock, and do not
turn off the unit during recording or playback.
If the unit is used in a place with loud
sounds, such as a club or venue, the
recording may stop due to sound
vibrations. Recording data on an SD card
is recommended in these places.
Back up data periodically.
The HDD is temporary storage. In order to
avoid erasing data due to static electricity,
electromagnetic waves, breakage, and
failures, back up the data to a PC or DVD
disc. (l 105, 113)
If the HDD experiences any abnormality,
back up data immediately.
Failure in the HDD may produce continuous
noise or choppy sound during recording or
playing back. Continuous use will cause
further deterioration, and may eventually
disable the HDD. If these phenomena are
observed, copy the data on the HDD to a
PC, a DVD disc etc. immediately and
contact your dealer.
Once the HDD is out of order, data cannot
be restored.
Operation may stop in hot or cold
environments.
The unit is disabled in order to protect the
HDD.
Do not use the unit in low atmospheric
pressures.
The HDD may fail if it is used at altitudes of
3000 m or higher above sea level.
Transportation
When the unit is transported, turn off the unit
and be careful not to shake, fall, or impact
the unit.
Falling detection
[ ] is indicated on the screen when it
detects a falling state (a weightless state). If
the falling state is detected repeatedly, the
unit may stop the recording or playback
operation in order to protect the HDD.

Before recording
Basic camera positioning
1 Hold the unit with both hands.
2 Put your hand through the grip belt.
3 It is convenient to use sub recording start/stop button A when holding the unit around
your waist.
When recording, make sure your footing is stable and there is no danger of colliding with
another person or object.
When you are outdoors, record pictures with the sunlight behind you. If the subject is
backlit, it will become dark in the recording.
Keep your arms near your body and separate your legs for better balance.
Do not cover the microphones or the cooling fan inlet with your hand etc.
Basic motion picture recording
The unit should normally be held steady when recording.
If you move the unit when recording, do so slowly, maintaining a constant speed.
The zoom operation is useful for recording subjects you cannot get close to, but overuse of
zoom in and zoom out can make the resulting motion picture less enjoyable to watch.
Attaching/Removing the lens hood
This will reduce the extra light entering the lens in bright sunlight or backlight etc., making it
possible to take clearer pictures.
A Attaching the lens hood
B Removing the lens hood
If you use the Filter kit (optional) or the conversion lens (optional), remove the lens hood.

The zoom speed varies depending on the
speed to rotate the ring.
If the number of the recording pixels is set to
anything other than the maximum number of
recording pixels in still picture recording
mode, the still picture can be recorded with a
zoom ratio of a maximum of 25k without
degrading the picture quality.
Extra optical zoom ratio varies depending
on the setting of [PICTURE SIZE] and
[ASPECT RATIO]. (l 73, 74)
Extra optical zoom mechanism

[FACE RECOG.] is locked as a target.
When the button is pressed, the flash is activated and the picture will be

Each time the ß icon is selected, the indication changes by one setting in the following order:
ß ([ON]) # ßA ([AUTO]) # ([OFF])
When the button is pressed halfway, the flash indicator will appear.
The unit automatically determines if the flash is necessary even when it has been set to

The flash is activated 2 times.
The red eye phenomenon tends to appear in certain recording conditions and more with
some people than with others.
When faces are detected in the Intelligent auto mode, the red eye reduction is set to on.
This is for recording still pictures using the timer.
Each time the icon is selected, the indication changes by one setting in the following
order:
Ø10 (Records after 10 seconds) # Ø2 (Records after 2 seconds) # setting cancelled
When the button is pressed, a still picture is recorded after the Ø10 or Ø2 display
and the recording lamp flashes for the time which has been set. After recording, the self-
timer is cancelled.
In auto focus mode, if the button is pressed halfway once and then fully, the lens
focuses on the subject when the button is pressed halfway. If the button is pressed
fully all at once, the lens focuses on the subject just before recording.
To stop the timer midway through
Press the MENU button.
Setting the self-timer to Ø2 is a good way to prevent image shake when the button is
pressed while using a tripod etc.
This brightens dark parts so the image can be recorded clearly.
If there are extremely dark parts or the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be
clear.
This makes the image brighter to prevent darkening of a backlit subject.
This makes skin colours appear softer for a more attractive appearance.
This is more effective if you record a person closely from the torso up.
If the background or anything else in the scene has colours similar to the skin colour, they
will also be smoothed.
If the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be clear.
If you record a person in the distance, the face may not be recorded clearly. In this case,
cancel soft skin mode or zoom in on the face (close-up) to record.

back with devices other than ones compatible with x.v.Colour
, it is recommended to
record the images after this function is turned [OFF].
