About format types  
DVD-R DL (Dual Layer) discs have two layers of  
recording/playback surface on one side.  
If the first layer (L0) becomes full during  
What is the VR format (DVD Video  
Recording format)?  
recording, the recording continues uninterrupted  
on the second layer (L1). However, the recording  
is divided into 2 scenes at the point where the  
layers switch. This unit automatically switches  
layers during disc playback so you can play the  
whole of the disc continuously like a normal disc.  
However, the picture or the sound momentarily  
stops at the point where the layers switch.  
This is a format for recording on DVD discs  
which allows you to record and erase  
repeatedly and create playlists. You can  
record on DVD-RAM and DVD-RW discs in  
VR format with this unit.  
What is the Video format (DVD-Video  
format)?  
By finalizing the disc, it can be played back on  
most DVD players.  
You can record on DVD-RW and DVD-R/  
DVD-R DL discs in Video format with this unit.

the discs become play only and cannot record. If you un-finalize a DVD-RW (Video format) disc, it  
can be used for recording. (l 69)  
FINALIZE THE DISC TO ENABLE PLAYBACK ON OTHER DEVICES.  
If you insert a DVD-RW or a DVD-R/DVD-R DL disc recorded in this unit (that has not been  
finalized) into another device such as DVD recorder, PC, etc., the disc may become unusable. Be  
sure to finalize the disc on this unit before inserting it in other devices.  
CHECK CARD.  
This card is not compatible or it cannot be recognized by the unit.  
THIS BATTERY CANNOT BE USED.  
Use a battery that is compatible with this unit. (l 18)  
You are attempting to connect an AC adaptor not compatible with this unit. Use the supplied AC  
adaptor. (l 21)  
If using a Panasonic battery compatible with this unit (l 18), remove the battery and then insert it  
again. If the message appears even after repeating this several times, this unit needs repair. Detach  
the power and contact consumer support (l 113, 114). Do not attempt to repair it by yourself.

The unit cannot correctly establish the connection to the PC or printer. Disconnect and reconnect  
the USB cable and then select the desired USB function again.  
CANNOT OPERATE WHILE CONNECTED TO COMPUTER.  
The unit’s power cannot be turned off when the unit is connected to the PC.  
About recovery  
It is possible that the system cannot complete writing of a file normally when, for example, power is  
turned off for some reason during recording or editing.  
If faulty management information is found when a disc is accessed, the following message may appear.  
Be sure to follow the messages. (Repairing may take time depending on the error.)  
DISC DATA IS NOW BEING REPAIRED. DO NOT SHAKE THE UNIT.  
≥ When you repair the disc, use a battery with sufficient battery power or the AC adaptor. Even if the  
power is turned off without repairing the disc, you can repair the disc when you turn the power on  
again.  
≥ Depending on the condition of the data, it may not be possible to completely repair the data.  
≥ Do not repair a disc that has been recorded on another device. This may cause the loss of data or the  
disc.

What kind of discs can be used?  
DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-R and DVD-R DL discs can be used if they are 8 cm (3z)  
non-cartridge discs. (l 22)  
Can discs with a cartridge be used?  
They can be used if the cartridge is removed.  
Can double sided discs be used?  
They can be used.  
However you cannot record or play continuously from one side of the disc to the other.  
You will need to eject the disc and turn it over.  
Can I record continuously from one side of the disc to the other on a double sided disc?  
You cannot record continuously from one side of the disc to the other. The recording time  
indicated on the disc package is the total time for both sides. You will need to eject the  
disc and turn it over to record on both sides.  
Is playback possible on a DVD player?  
By finalizing a DVD-RW (VR format/Video format) or a DVD-R/DVD-R DL disc in this unit,  
it can be played back on a DVD player.  
To playback a DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (VR format), or DVD-R DL disc, you will need a DVD  
recorder or a DVD player that supports DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (VR format) or DVD-R DL  
disc. Refer to the operating instructions of the DVD recorder or DVD player.

high or extremely low, charging may take time  
or the battery may not be charged.  
≥ If the CHARGE lamp keeps flashing, make  
sure that the terminals of the battery or the AC  
adaptor are not exposed to dirt, foreign objects  
or dust, then reconnect them properly.  
If the charging lamp is still flashing, something  
may be wrong with the battery or AC adaptor.  
Contact consumer support. (l 113, 114)  
≥ If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio  
reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC  
adaptor 1 m (3.3 feet) or more away from the  
radio.  
Be sure to detach the battery after use.  
≥ If the battery is left attached, a minute amount  
of current continues to flow even if the unit’s  
power is off. Keeping the unit in this state may  
result in over discharge of the battery. This  
may result in you not being able to use the

may rust and cause malfunctions.  
≥ Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor  
and battery clean.  
LCD monitor/viewfinder  
≥ To store the battery for a long period of time,  
we recommend you charge it once every year  
and store it again after you have completely  
used up the charged capacity.

Explanation of terms  
white balance adjustment range, use the manual  
white balance adjustment mode.  
Automatic white balance  
White balance adjustment recognizes the color  
of light and adjusts so the white color will  
become a purer white. The unit determines the  
hue of light that comes through the lens and  
white balance sensor, thereby judging the  
recording condition, and selects the closest hue  
setting.  
White balance adjustment  
White balance adjustment determines the white  
color under different light sources. By  
recognizing which is the white color under  
sunlight and which is the white color under a  
fluorescent light, the unit can adjust the balance  
among the other colors.  
This is called automatic white balance  
adjustment.  
However, since the unit only stores white color  
information under certain light sources,  
automatic white balance adjustment does not  
function normally under other light sources.  
Since the white color is the reference for all the  
colors, the unit can record pictures in a natural  
hue if it can recognize the reference color white.

objects with glossy surfaces or by highly  
reflective objects  
Since whatever is shiny or glistens is brought into  
focus, it is hard to focus on the subject to be  
recorded. The focus may become blurry when  
recording subjects at the beach, at night or in  
scenes involving fireworks or special lights.  
Recording a subject in dark surroundings  
The unit cannot focus correctly because the light  
information that comes through the lens  
decreases considerably.  
Recording a fast-moving subject  
As the focus lens-inside moves mechanically, it  
cannot keep up with a fast-moving subject.  
When, for example, recording a sports event with  
fast moving subjects, the focus may lose its  
sharpness.  
Recording a subject with little contrast  
It is easy to bring subjects with a sharp contrast  
or vertical lines or stripes into focus. This means  
that a subject with little contrast, such as a white  
wall, may become blurry because the unit  
achieves focus based upon the vertical lines of  
an image.
