∫ Сведения о форматах записи

видеоизображения

Можно выбрать форматы записи AVCHD,
1080/50p или iFrame для записи
видеоизображения данной камерой. (l 48, 59)

AVCHD:
В данном формате можно производить запись
изображений высокого качества. Их можно
просматривать на широкоформатных
телевизорах или записать на диск.
1080/50p:
Это режим записи 1080/50p (1920k1080/50

прогрессивный) в котором запись
осуществляется с максимальным качеством*.
Сцены, записанные в режиме 1080/50p, могут
быть сохранены или воспроизведены этим
устройством или HD Writer AE 3.0.
* Это означает максимальный уровень

качества для данной камеры.

iFrame:
Это формат записи для воспроизведения или
редактирования Mac (iMovie’11). С помощью
iMovie’11 видео iFrame можно импортировать
быстрее, чем видео AVCHD. Кроме того,
размер импортируемого файла видео iFrame
будет меньше файла видео AVCHD.
≥ Он не совместим с видео, записанным в

формате AVCHD или 1080/50p.

∫ Ответственность за записанное

содержание

Panasonic не несет ответственности за
повреждения, прямые либо косвенные,
вызванные любого рода проблемами,
приводящие к потере записанного или
редактируемого содержимого, а также не дает
гарантий на какое-либо содержимое, если
запись или редактирование не выполняются
надлежащим образом. Аналогично,
вышесказанное применимо также в случае
любого ремонта камеры (включая любой
другой компонент, связанный с не встроенной
памятью/жестким диском).

∫ Обращение со встроенной

памятью [HDC-TM900]

Данная камера оборудована встроенной
памятью. При использовании данного
компонента обратите внимание на следующее.
Регулярно создавайте резервные копии
данных.

Встроенная память является временным
хранилищем. Во избежание стирания данных
ввиду статического электричества,
электромагнитных волн, поломок и отказов
сохраняйте резервные копии данных на ПК
или диске DVD. (l 108, 121)

≥ Индикатор доступа [ACCESS] (

l 6) светится

во время обращения к карте SD или
встроенной памяти (инициализация, запись,
воспроизведение, удаление и т.д.). Не
выполняйте следующие операции, когда
индикатор светится. Это может привести к
поломке встроенной памяти или
неисправности камеры.
j Выключите питание камеры (выньте

аккумулятор)

j Не вставляйте и не извлекайте

соединительный кабель USB

j Не подвергайте камеру вибрации или

ударам

≥ Об утилизации или передаче данной

камеры. (l 147)

∫ Обращение с жестким диском

[HDC-HS900]

Данная камера оборудована встроенным
жестким диском. Хотя на жестком диске можно
хранить большие объемы данных, есть
несколько моментов, требующих
осторожности. При использовании данного
компонента обратите внимание на следующее.
Не подвергайте жесткий диск воздействию
вибрации и ударов.
Жесткий диск может быть частично поврежден
в результате воздействия окружающей среды и
условий обращения, что приведет к
невозможности чтения, записи и
воспроизведения данных. Не подвергайте
камеру воздействию вибрации и ударов и не
выключайте питание камеры при записи или
воспроизведении.
Если устройство используется в шумном
месте, например, клубе или в месте
проведения массового мероприятия,
запись может прекратиться из-за звуковой
вибрации. В таких местах рекомендуется
вести запись на карту SD.

Регулярно создавайте резервные копии
данных.
Жесткий диск является временным
хранилищем. Во избежание удаления

Информация для вашей безопасности

данных, вызванного статическим
электричеством, электромагнитными
волнами, неисправностями и сбоями,
выполняйте резервное копирование данных
на ПК или диск DVD. (l 108, 121)
При появлении любых нарушений в

работе жесткого диска немедленно

создайте резервную копию данных.

При сбое жесткого диска возможно появление

постоянного шума или прерывистого звука во

время записи или воспроизведения. Постоянное

использование приведет к дальнейшим

повреждениям, со временем жесткий диск может

выйти из строя. Если наблюдается такое явление,

сразу же скопируйте данные с жесткого диска на

ПК, диск DVD и т.д. и обратитесь к своему дилеру.

При выходе из строя жесткого диска

восстановить данные невозможно.

В теплой или холодной среде работа

может остановиться.

Камера отключается с целью защиты

жесткого диска.
Не используйте камеру в условиях

низкого атмосферного давления.

При использовании жесткого диска на

высоте от 3000 м над уровнем моря

возможен его сбой.
