Notes On Operations

Before you begin

Replacing the Bulb

• Set POWER to OFF.

Insert a rigid wire, such as an

extended paper clip into point (A)

and lift cover up.

Replace bulb using a clean cloth or

tissue. (Do not touch with fingers.)

(A)

Replace lens cover.

Using Tweezers or needle-nose

pliers, carefully remove bulb.

• Take unit to servicenter if you need

assistance.

Note

• Handle bulb gently. Excessive force may

cause bulb to crack.

DANGER:

Use only replacement bulb (PART NO. LSLL0028) supplied by Panasonic to reduce risk

of fire. Handle new bulb with cloth or tissue as skin oils decrease bulb life. Remove lens

cover and allow bulb to cool before replacing to avoid possible burn hazard.

This product has a fluorescent lamp that contains a small amount of mercury. It also

contains lead in some components. Disposal of these materials may be regulated in

your community due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling

information please contact your local authorities, or the Electronics Industries Alliance:

Before Requesting Service

Cleaning Care for Video Heads

(a) Video Head Cleaning: Normally, your Palmcorder will not

require head cleaning. However, it is possible that the heads

may become clogged due to dust in the air, playing damaged

tapes, long term use, etc. If “NEED HEAD CLEANING”

appears for 5 seconds in the EVF or LCD monitor, the heads

may require cleaning.

(b) Cleaning the Heads: It is recommended that head cleaning

be performed by a qualified service technician. Please contact

your nearest Panasonic Servicenter. An alternate solution is to

obtain a head cleaning cassette. Please use Panasonic

cleaning cassette (AY-DVMCLA). Be sure to follow the

cleaning instructions carefully. Excessive use of the head

cleaning cassette could shorten video head life.

CloggedVideoHead

Use this cassette only when a head clogging symptoms occur.

Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

will not accept a new function operation until the previous operation is complete.

• The POWER Button and all function buttons, (PLAY, FF, REW, etc.) are only operational

after the tape has been completely loaded.

Lens Hood Area Operation Caution

When the following accessories are attached and the zoom is set to maximum wide

angle, the four corners of the sceen may appear darker:

• Wide or Telephoto conversion lens (optional).

• A filter (optional), etc. and then the lens hood.

• Two filters (optional).
