Moving Picture format (MPEG4) that can be
played back on this device is ASF. (Depending
on the file, it may not be able to be played back
even if it is in ASF format.)
Constructing a Folder when the Card is used
with a PC
When a Card with data recorded on it is inserted
into a personal computer, folders will be
displayed as in the figure.
SD Memory Card:
MultiMediaCard:
[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.
[TITLE]: This contains the data of the
preset titles (PRE00001.TTL)
and original titles
(USR00001.TTL, etc.).
[PRL001]: MPEG4 moving picture is
recorded in ASF format
(MOL001.ASF etc.). It can be
played back with Windows Media
Player (ver.6.4 and later).
Because of small size, this File is
well suited for transmitting data
through telephone line etc.. To
play back moving picture with
Windows Media Player, select a
file and double click. Necessary
software is automatically
downloaded and starts playing
back. (Internet connection is
required.) To play back with Mac
OS, Windows Media Player for
Macintosh is required.
[DCIM], [IM01CDPF], [PRIVATE], [VTF],
[SD_VIDEO], [SD_VOICE], etc. are necessary
items in the folder structure. They have nothing
to do with actual operations.
In the Card Photoshot Mode, the Movie Camera
automatically saves file numbers
(IMGA0001.JPG, etc.) along with the images.
The file numbers are recorded with each image
as a consecutive number.
In the [SD_VC100] folder, the Voice data
(MOB001.VM1 etc.) is recorded. It, however,
cannot be played back on Personal Computer.
The [SD_VOICE] folder and the Voice files in
the folder are set as hidden. Depending on the
settings of your personal computer, this hidden
folder and these hidden files might not appear in
Windows Explorer or the “My Computer”
screen.
When using the software without 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
Memory Card label corresponds to the total
amount of the capacity to protect and manage
the copyright and of the capacity available as a
conventional memory for a Movie Camera,
Personal Computer or others.
Capacity that can be used as conventional
memory:
8MB Card: about 6,800,000 bytes
The supplied SD Memory Card contains Preset

Notes and Hints
ª Concerning the Power Supply
When the Movie Camera 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 Camera 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 CLOSE]
Button.
When closing the Cassette Compartment
Cover, do not get anything caught in the cover,
such as a cable of an optional stereo
microphone.

used for the recording. If different, playback
images will be distorted.
ª Camera Search
In Camera Search Mode, images may contain
mosaic-pattern noise. This is a phenomenon
that is characteristic of digital video and not a
malfunction.
If the recording speed modes (SP/LP) of
previous recording and new recording are
different, playback images may be distorted.
ª Quick Start
During the Quick Start Standby Mode, a minute
amount of electricity is consumed.
When the Movie Camera is left in the Recording

restored.)
This Function is not activated in the following
cases even if the Quick Start Recording Lamp
lights:
A tape is not inserted, while the Tape Mode
is set.
A Card is not inserted, while the Card Mode
is set.

wet a soft cloth with tap water, wring it well, and
use it to wipe the camera body carefully. Then,
wipe it again thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.
Keep the Movie Camera away from
magnetized equipment (such as a microwave
oven, TV, video game equipment, etc.).
If you use the Movie Camera on or near a TV,
images or sounds may be disturbed due to
electromagnetic wave radiation.
Do not use near a cell phone because doing so
may cause noise to adversely affect the picture
and sound.
By strong magnetic fields created by speakers
or large motors, recording on the tape may be
damaged, or images may be distorted.
Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by a
microprocessor may adversely affect the Movie
Camera, causing the disturbance of images and
sounds.
If the Movie Camera is affected by magnetically
charged equipment and does not function
properly, turn off the Movie Camera power and
detach the Battery or AC Adaptor and then
connect the Battery or AC Adaptor again.
Thereafter, turn on the Movie Camera power.
Do not use your Movie Camera near radio
transmitters or high-voltage lines.
If you record pictures near radio transmitters or
high-voltage lines, recorded images or sounds
may be adversely affected.
Do not use this Movie Camera for surveillance
purpose or other business use.
If you use the Movie Camera for a long period of
time, the internal temperature increases and,
consequently, this may cause malfunction.
This Movie Camera is not intended for business
use.
When you use your Movie Camera on a beach
or similar place, do not let sand or fine dust
get into the Movie Camera.
Sand or dust may damage the Movie Camera or
Cassette. (Care should be taken when inserting
and removing the Cassette.)
Do not spray insecticides or volatile
chemicals onto the Movie Camera.
If the Movie Camera is sprayed with such
chemicals, the camera body may be deformed
and the surface finish may peel off.
Do not keep rubber or plastic product in contact

ª 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 1 metre or more away from radio.
When the AC Adaptor is in use, it may generate
whirring sounds. However, this is normal.
After use, be sure to pull out the AC Mains Lead
from the AC mains socket. (If they are left
connected, a minute amount of current is
consumed.)
Keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and
Battery always clean.
ª Condensation
If the Condensation Indication flashes after the
Movie Camera is turned on, condensation has
formed inside the Movie Camera. In this case, the
Movie Camera power is turned off automatically
after about 1 minute.
Follow the steps below:
1 Take out the Cassette.
None of the other functions operate.
Depending on the amount of condensation,
removing the Cassette may even become
difficult. If this happens, wait for 2 to 3 hours
before taking the Cassette out.
2 Open the Cassette Compartment Cover and
wait for 2to 3hours.
The number of hours to wait depends on the
amount of condensation and ambient
temperature.
3 2 to 3 hours later, turn on the Movie Camera
power and check to see if the Condensation
Indication is displayed.
Even if the Condensation Indication is not
displayed, as a precaution, please wait for
another hour before using the Movie Camera.
Watch for Condensation even before the
Condensation Indication is displayed.
Because condensation takes place gradually,
the Condensation Indication may not be
displayed during the first 10 to 15 minutes of
condensation formation inside the Movie
Camera.
In extremely cold places, condensation may
freeze and form frost. In this case, the frost
melts first, thus forming condensation, and then
it takes another 2 to 3 hours to eliminate the
condensation.
When the Lens is Fogged:
Set the [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch to [OFF] and
leave the Movie Camera in this condition for
about 1 hour. When the lens temperature
becomes close to the ambient temperature, the
fog disappears naturally.
ª Video Head Clogging and Care
If the heads (the parts that make contact with
tape) are dirty, mosaic-pattern noise may appear
on the playback image, or the screen as a whole
becomes black. If the heads are extremely dirty,
recording performance deteriorates, and, in the
worst case, the Movie Camera cannot record at
all.
Causes of Dirty Heads
Large quantity of dust in the air
High-temperature and high-humidity
environment
Damaged tape
Long operating hours
Using Mini-DV Format Digital Video Head
Cleaner
1 Insert the Head Cleaner into the Movie
Camera in the same manner as a Video
Cassette.
2 Press the [1] Button, and approximately
20 seconds later, press the [] Button. (Do
not rewind the tape.)
3 Take out the Head Cleaner. Insert a Video
Cassette and start recording. Then, play the
tape back to check the recorded image.
4 If the image is not still clear, repeat
Steps 1 to 3. (Do not use the Head Cleaner
for 3 times or more consecutively.)
Notes:
Do not rewind every time you use the Head
Cleaner. Rewind only when the tape reaches
the end, and then use it again from the
beginning in the same manner as before.
If the heads become dirty soon after cleaning,
the tape may be damaged. In this case,
immediately stop using that Cassette.
Do not clean the heads excessively. (Excessive
cleaning may cause excessive wear of the
heads. If the heads are worn, images cannot be
played back even after the heads are cleaned.)
If the dirty heads cannot be cleaned with the
Head Cleaner, the Movie Camera needs to be
cleaned at a service centre. Please consult a
dealer.
Video Head Cleaners can be purchased from
service centres.

-63-
Head cleaning due to dirty heads is not
considered a malfunction of the product. It is not
covered by the warranty.
Periodical Check-up
To maintain the highest image quality, we
recommend replacement of worn parts, such as
heads, etc., after approximately 1000 hours of
use. (This, however, depends on operating
conditions, such as temperature, humidity, dust,
etc.)
ª Optimal Use of the Battery
Battery Characteristics
This Battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery.
Its ability to generate power is based upon the
chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This
reaction is susceptible to the surrounding
temperature and humidity, and, if the temperature
is too high or too low, the operating time of the
Battery becomes shorter. If the Battery is used in
an extremely cold environment, the Battery may
operate only for about 5 minutes. If the Battery
becomes extremely hot, a protective function may
operate, and the Battery may become unusable
for a while.
Be Sure to Detach the Battery after Use
Be sure to detach the Battery from the Movie
Camera. (If it is left attached to the Movie
Camera, a minute amount of current is consumed
even when the Movie Camera power is off.) If the
Battery is left attached to the Movie Camera for a
long time, over discharge takes place. The
Battery may become unusable after it is charged.
Disposing of an Unusable Battery
The Battery has a limited life.
Do not throw the Battery into fire because it may
cause an explosion.
Always Keep the Terminals of the Battery
Clean
Prevent the terminals from getting clogged with
dirt, dust, or other substances.
If you drop the Battery accidentally, check to see
if the Battery body and terminals are deformed.
Attaching a deformed Battery to the Movie
Camera or AC Adaptor may damage the Movie
Camera or AC Adaptor.
ª Cautions for Storage
Before storing the Movie Camera, take the
Cassette out and detach the Battery.
Store all the components in a dry place with a
relatively stable temperature.
(Recommended Temperature: 15 to 25oC,
Recommended Humidity: 40 to 60%)
Movie Camera
Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust from
getting into the Camera.
Do not leave the Movie Camera in places that
expose it to high temperature.
Battery
Extremely high temperatures or low
temperatures will shorten the life of the Battery.
If the Battery is kept in smoky or dusty places,
the terminal may rust and cause malfunctions.
Do not allow the Battery terminals to come
in contact with metal objects (such as
necklaces, hairpins, etc.). This can result in
a short circuit or heat generation and, if you
touch the Battery in this condition, you may
be badly burned.
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.
Cassette
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 Movie Camera 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.

Card
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
Movie Camera.
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.
ª LCD Monitor/Viewfinder/Lens Hood
LCD Monitor
In a place with drastic temperature changes,
condensation may form on the LCD Monitor.
Wipe it with soft dry cloth.
If your Movie Camera 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.
Viewfinder
Do not direct the Viewfinder or Lens to the sun.
Internal components may be seriously
damaged.
When the Movie Camera is used with a large
capacity Battery (CGA-DU21; optional)
attached to it, it is not practical to look in the
Viewfinder from behind the Battery.
Extremely high precision technology is
employed to produce the LCD Monitor
screen featuring a total of approximately
113,000 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.
Extremely high precision technology is
employed to produce the Viewfinder screen
featuring a total of approximately 67,500
pixels for NV-GS40 and approximately
113,000 pixels for NV-GS50. 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.
Lens Hood
Do not attach other conversion lenses in front of
the Lens Hood; there is no mount to be used for
the attachment.
When you wish to attach the Tele Conversion
Lens (VW-LT2714N2E; optional), Wide
Conversion Lens (VW-LW2707N2E; optional),
MC Protector (VW-LMC27E; optional), or ND
Filter (VW-LND27E; optional), first of all, turn
the Lens Hood counterclockwise. If the MC
Protector or ND Filter is used, the Lens Hood
can be mounted on the filter.
If you push the [W/T] Lever toward [W] during
recording with the filter and conversion lens
attached together to the Movie Camera,
4 corners of the image may become dark
(vignetting). For details, please refer to the
operating instructions of your accessories.
Be sure to keep the Lens Hood attached to the
Movie Camera so as to shut out unnecessary
light.

3: The original sound was erased when audio
dubbing was performed.
If you perform audio dubbing on a recording
done in [16bit] Mode, the original sound will be
erased. If you wish to preserve the original
sound, be sure to select [12bit] Mode at the
time of recording.
4: Sounds cannot be played back.
Although a Cassette with no audio dubbing is
being played, is [12bit AUDIO] on the
[PLAYBACK FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu of the
[VCR FUNCTIONS] Main-Menu set to [ST2]?
To play back a Cassette with no audio dubbing,
[12bit AUDIO] must be set to [ST1]. (

Explanation of Terms
ª Digital Video System
In a digital video system, images and sounds are
converted into digital signals and recorded on a
tape. This complete digital recording is capable of
recording and playback with minimal image and
sound deterioration.
In addition, it automatically records data, such as
Time Code and Date/Time, as digital signals.
Compatibility with S-VHS or VHS Cassettes
Because this Movie Camera employs a digital
system for recording image and sound data, it is
not compatible with conventional S-VHS or VHS
video equipment that employs an analog
recording system.
The size and shape of the Cassette are also
different.
Compatibility with Output Signals
Because AV signal output from the AV signal
output socket is analog (the same as
conventional video systems), this Movie Camera
can be connected with S-VHS or VHS video or a
TV for playback.
ª Focus
Auto Focus Adjustment
The Auto Focus System automatically moves
forward and backward the focusing lens inside
the Movie Camera to bring the subject into focus
so that the subject can be seen clearly.
However, the Auto Focus System does not
function properly for the following subjects or
under the following recording conditions.
Please use the Manual Focus Mode instead.
1) Recording a subject whose one end is
located closer to the Movie Camera and
the other end farther away from it
Because Auto Focus makes adjustments at
the centre of an image, it may be impossible
to focus on a subject that is located in both
foreground and background.
2) Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty
glass
Because the focus is on the dirty glass, the
subject behind the glass will not be focused.
3) Recording a subject in dark surroundings
Because the light information that comes
through the lens decreases considerably,
the Movie Camera cannot focus correctly.
4) Recording a subject that is surrounded by
objects with glossy surfaces or by highly
reflective objects
Because the Movie Camera focuses on the
objects with glossy surfaces or on highly
reflective objects, the recording subject may
become blurry.
5) Recording a fast-moving subject
Because the focus lens-inside moves
mechanically, it cannot keep up with the
fast-moving subject.
6) Recording a subject with little contrast
Because the Movie Camera achieves focus
based upon the vertical lines of an image, a
subject with little contrast, such as a white
wall, may become blurry.

ª Time Code
Time Code signals are data that indicate time
measured in hours, minutes, seconds, and
frames (25 frames per second). If this data is
included in a recording, an address is assigned to
each image on the tape.
The Time Code is automatically recorded as a
part of the sub-code at each recording.
When a new (previously unrecorded) Cassette
is inserted, the Time Code automatically starts
from zero. If a recorded Cassette is inserted,
the Time Code picks up from the point where
the last scene was recorded. (In this case, when
the Cassette is inserted, the zero display
[0h00m00s00f] may appear, but the Time Code
starts from the previous value.)
The Time Code cannot be reset to zero.
Unless the Time Code is continuously recorded
from the beginning of a tape, accurate editing
may not be possible. To ensure that the Time
Code will be recorded with no breaks, we
recommend the use of the Camera Search
Function (
-19-) or the Blank Search Function
(
-32-) before recording a new scene.
ª Memory Stop Function
The Memory Stop Function is useful for the
following operations.
Rewinding or fast-forwarding a tape to a
desired position
1 Set [DISPLAY SETUP] >> [C.DISPLAY] >>
[MEMORY].
2 Reset the Tape Counter to zero at the tape
position from which you want to play it
back later. (
-7-, -15-)
3 Start playback or recording.
4 After playback or recording has finished:
Rotate the [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch and set
the Movie Camera to VCR Mode.
The [VCR] Lamp lights up.
5 Rewind the tape.
The tape automatically stops approximately
at the position where the counter was set to
zero.
Stopping editing automatically during audio
dubbing
1 Set [DISPLAY SETUP] >> [C.DISPLAY] >>
[MEMORY].
2 Reset the Tape Counter to zero at the
position where you want to stop editing.
3 Play back the still picture where you want to
start audio dubbing.
4 Start audio dubbing. (-35-)
Audio dubbing automatically stops at the
position where the counter was set to zero.
