1.
Set the POWER switch to ON.
● Power is supplied to the unit.
2.
The CAM indicator lights up.
The GY-DV5100 is in the Camera mode when the CAM
indicator is on.
3.
Slide the OPEN switch on the top section to open the
cassette cover.
4.
Insert a videocassette into the cassette insertion slot.
● Ensure that the erasure-prevention switch on the back of

properly.
When the cassette is inserted, the tape is loaded and the
unit enters the record-standby mode.
● Slowly close the cassette cover.
MEMO:
● Use a standard DV videocassette or a MiniDV
videocassette. (When a DVCAM cassette is used for
recording, longer recording can be performed than the
time indicated on the DVCAM cassette. For the recording
time, regard the remaining tape indication displayed on
the LCD or in the viewfinder as a guide.)
● Following loading of the cassette and when the POWER
switch is turned ON/OFF, the built-in head cleaner will
emit a sound while operating. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
● After the cassette cover is closed, it takes about 10
seconds before the unit is ready for recording.
5.
Adjust the camera section settings and the white balance.
☞ See “Camera Settings” on page 47.
☞ See “White Balance Adjustment” on page 50.

Press the VTR trigger button on the GY-DV5100 to start

MEMO:
● The lightening conditions of the BACK TALLY lamp on
the rear section of the unit and the tally lamp on the
viewfinder can be changed by setting the BACK TALLY
and FRONT TALLY items on the OTHERS (2/2) menu
screen.
● Menu operations cannot be performed when an optional
DV Disk Recorder is connected and is recording.
