Voice Power Save (NV-GS5 only)
Voice Power Save Function is to turn off the monitor to
reduce the power consumption when no operation is done
in the Voice Recording Mode. When [VOICE POWER
SAVE] on the [OTHER FUNCTIONS] Menu is set to [ON],
the power save function is activated, and the screen turns
off in a few seconds after some operations such as play or
recording.
The Voice Power Saving Function is cancelled when any
operation is performed.
Do not forget to turn off the power.

Recording a Card Image on a Tape
If you attempt to record a still picture with a large image
size on a Tape, there may be a reduction in the quality of
the image.
When recording the Card Images on a Tape, a Photoshot
index signal is automatically recorded with a picture.
Even if you edit the Slide Show, it is not applied to the order
in copying the pictures.
ª
Slide Show
The playback time can be set from 5 to 99 seconds.
Perform the Slide Show Settings with your Movie Camera
in use.
It may take playback time longer than usual time
depending on the picture.
When performing the Slide Show after the Titles are
displayed, the Titles disappear.
ª
Creating a Title
When the [TAPE/CARD/CARD MODE] Selector is set to
[MPEG4] or [VOICE], Title Creation Function is not
possible.
Even if the contrast of the Title is adjusted, the portions
where there is little difference between light and dark and
where the boundary between light and dark is unclear may
not appear.
The Title may not appear well if something small is used for
it.
If titles are created, the number of images that can be
recorded on a Card decreases.
If the number of images that can be recorded on a Card is
small, you may not be able to create a title.
ª
Adding a Title
When the [TAPE/CARD/CARD MODE] Selector is set to
[MPEG4] or [VOICE], Title In Function is not possible.
The Title Function and Digital Effects cannot be used
simultaneously.
When a title is displayed in Playback Mode, the title is not
output from the DV Terminal or Digital Still Picture
Terminal.
The Multi-Picture Mode cannot be used once the title is
inserted.
Original titles are added after the preset titles.
ª
Lock Setting
The Lock Setting carried out by this Movie Camera is only
effective for this Movie Camera.
The SD Memory Card has a write protection switch on it. If
the switch is moved to the [LOCK] side, you cannot write to
or format the Card. If it is moved back, you can.
ª
Using a Card in a Personal Computer
(NV-GS4/GS5 only)
To erase pictures that you recorded on the Card by using
the Movie Camera, be sure to erase them on the Movie
Camera, not on the computer.
Using the optional DV Editing Software (Motion DV
STUDIO) for Windows (VW-DTM20/21/22), variety of
visual effects can be added and title can be created.
You may not be able to properly play back or search the
images on the Movie Camera after editing the recorded
data or changing the image data on a personal computer.
The image data files recorded on the Card with this Movie
Camera conform to the DCF (Design Rules for Camera
Files Systems universal standard) stipulated by JEITA
(Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries
Association).
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.
[100CDPFP]: The images (Imga-0001.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.jpg, Usr00001.ttl, etc.).
[PRL001]: MPEG4 moving picture is recorded in ASF
format (MOL00001.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.)
[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 (Imga-0001.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.vml
etc.) is recorded. It, however, cannot be played back on
Personal Computer.
